Everywhere in the palace was silent and pitch black, with only the fluorescent light emitted by the building itself.
As soon as Jiang Yuebai stepped in, he immediately took out the storage bag he took from the main body and took out the Shenyin Turtle Breath Talisman to activate it and hide the traces.
Every time he becomes invisible, he needs two jade talismans. Jiang Yuebai has long wanted to combine the two into one. He couldn't find an entry point before. Recently, he has been studying the talisman method of the Qinglong Realm and slowly got some ideas.
"If the main body can come in, we can ask the little monsters to help search."
Jiang Yuebai's distraction was limited by Qi An's body, and the scope of his spiritual consciousness was limited. He could only explore from the outside of the palace inward, layer by layer, room by room.
The entire palace is divided into three floors, and the outer layer seems to be for the disciples who are responsible for taking care of the palace.
Jiang Yuebai checked it quickly and found nothing.
The middle level is mostly a martial arts arena, supporting facilities for weapon refining and alchemy. Jiang Yuebai collected some low-value weapon refining and alchemy materials, as well as some elixirs for feeding dragons.
There was another large formation inside, and the key jade talisman in Jiang Yuebai's hand came into play again, allowing her to enter effortlessly.
If nothing else, the inner courtyard is where Ning Zhiyuan actually lives.
Walking through an abandoned corridor pond, Jiang Yuebai looked through the blue brick and white walls and saw a three-story tower standing in a maple forest in the distance.
The tower is the only building in this maple forest, and it is also the highest place on the entire side peak. Under the night, Jiang Yuebai feels like "the dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and you can pick the stars with your hands."
The maple tree on the side of the tower is tall and majestic. It is spring at this time, and other maple trees have just sprouted green leaves. The maple tree is full of deep red, and the leaves are as warm as fire. Jiang Yuebai can feel it from a distance. Feel the inexplicable hot breath.
The maple tree is wrapped with thick chains, and the chains are hung with yellow talismans, swaying in the wind.
Jiang Yuebai took a step forward, and a pair of dark green vertical pupils suddenly appeared in the maple tree crown.
Wow!
With the sound of chains, maple leaves flew into the sky, turning into balls of flames and suddenly attacking Jiang Yuebai's door.
Qi An's body was fragile, so Jiang Yuebai could only try his best to dodge, not daring to face him head-on.
The flames hit the wall behind and exploded. Jiang Yuebai was suddenly plunged into a bright red flame. When she looked up, she saw the "Maple Tree" taking off, with branch-like horns and red maple-like scales all over her body, dark green His vertical pupils looked in the direction of Jiang Yuebai.
There were prison dragon nails nailed all over its body, and chains were connected to the ground. A bright red circular array appeared faintly on the ground, as if some power was rushing into its body from the ground in waves.
Jiang Yuebai recognized it outside as a mutated tree dragon.
Ordinary tree dragons can change into any kind of tree according to the environment, and are wood-attributed dragons. But this one in front of him has fire in the wood, and his dragon power has reached the peak of the golden elixir stage. He is imprisoned by the Dragon Prison Nail and cannot break through.
Looking at the formation disk below it, there might be something underground that is constantly injecting alien power into its body, causing it to mutate.
As expected, this dragon belongs to Ning Zhiyuan, and it is a dragon that he has carefully cultivated.
Perhaps in order not to reveal his identity, or perhaps in order to continue cultivating the dragon, he did not take the dragon with him when he went to the earth spirit world.
Jiang Yuebai removed his invisibility and told Shulong in dragon language.
"Ning Zhiyuan is dead."
The tree dragon paused for a moment, his eyes wary.
"Actually, you should have been able to feel something decades ago. The connection between him and you was severed. I don't know if you heard about Xihai. Yinglong was born and is fighting for a place for the dragon clan to survive."
"If you are willing, you can follow me in the future. I will not treat you like they did. If you are not willing, I can also take you to the West Sea. You can make your own choice then."
Jiang Yuebai used the distraction to exude a trace of Yinglong's essence and blood.
This aura cannot be detected by monks, but it is an aura that cannot be ignored by dragons. It is also an aura that is absolutely impossible to fake and can convince dragons.
Shulong's power was somewhat restrained, as if hesitating, Jiang Yuebai was strong.
Taking courage, he took out the dragon scale dagger and slowly approached the tree dragon.
"I can help you cut off these chains and pull out the Dragon Prison Nails, but this is the Fulong Sect after all. It is not that easy to escape from the range of their mountain protection formation. You can try to believe me, I have no ill intentions towards you. "
Jiang Yuebai waved the dragon scale dagger, and Shulong's whole body tensed up.
Zheng!
With a crisp sound, one of the chains on the tree dragon broke.
As if a beam of light shone into the darkness, the tree dragon's pupils shook and he was stunned.
"Look, I really want to let you go."
Jiang Yuebai comforted her softly, and Shulong looked at her deeply. Through her body at this moment, it seemed that she could see the beautiful smile deep in her soul.
Shulong has always known that if Ning Zhiyuan really dies, the only person waiting for him will be the next person to chain him, and he will just linger here, waiting for the next hell.
But it didn't expect that someone would be waiting to save it from death today.
Jiang Yuebai raised his knife and quickly cut off all the chains on the tree dragon's body.
With one move out of trouble, Shulong was so excited that he raised his head and wanted to howl.
Jiang Yuebai quickly stopped him, "Don't shout, don't shout. Keep the noise down. I sneaked in. We can't run away if we alert the people outside."
The tree dragon hurriedly suppressed his voice and hiccupped, and the bright red flames all over his body were extinguished.
"It will be very painful to remove the prison dragon nail from your body. My body is not strong enough now. Can you become smaller and I can help you remove it after we leave smoothly?"
Woo~
The tree dragon clicked its huge dragon head, and a green light flashed across his body, and his entire body quickly shrank, eventually becoming a dragon as thick as an arm.
"We will leave immediately after I get the contents inside. You must hold your breath under control so as not to expose me."
Ouch~
Upon hearing this, Shulong immediately led the way for Jiang Yuebai. When Jiang Yuebai used the key jade charm to open the barrier of the tower, Shulong knocked open the two jade doors and led Jiang Yuebai in.
It has no good feelings or sense of belonging to Fulong Sect.
Moreover, Jiang Yuebai noticed that Shulong's eyes were a little anxious, as if he wanted to take her to find something inside.
The inside of the tower is the layout of a general hall. There is a main hall on the first floor and two side rooms, which are used for receiving guests. There is nothing of value.
Jiang Yuebai wanted to go upstairs, but Shulong surrounded the hollowed-out jade couch in the center of the main hall and signaled Jiang Yuebai to go over.
Jiang Yuebai walked over, and Shulong used his head to push the heavy jade couch away little by little, revealing the stairs going down.
"You are too complete a traitor."
Jiang Yuebai found it funny, let Shulong lead the way, and followed behind.
In the dark octagonal underground space, Jiang Yuebai smelled the strong smell of blood. The tree dragon suddenly let out a mournful cry, and Jiang Yuebai looked up.
In the corner not far away, a red dragon was suspended in mid-air, covered in bruises. Every wound seemed to be carefully selected, with talismans attached next to it to prevent the wounds from healing and allow the dragon's blood to drip continuously below.
Under it is a circular formation disk, with grooves shaped like runes, filled with dragon blood.
Jiang Yuebai raised his head and saw that there was a corresponding formation disk above. The chains on the red dragon penetrated above. Judging from this position, they were consistent with the chains on the tree dragon.
In other words, Ning Zhiyuan used the blood of this red dragon and used special formations to transform the tree dragon into its current fire-like appearance.
Jiang Yuebai didn't know what the relationship between the tree dragon and this red dragon was. The tree dragon surrounded the red dragon's head, kept screaming, and kept hitting the red dragon's eyebrows, trying to wake it up. qs
It's a pity that the red dragon is already dead.
