Chapter 91 The Viper's Plan to Pacify the Internal Situation and Slay the Dragon
Pingjiang Water Mansion
Both Little Crocodile Dragon and Sea Stone Duke arrived.
The viper was in high spirits and held a grand banquet to entertain the two and a group of water palace soldiers.
"Haha, my friend Hai Shi, it's been three hundred years since we last met, hasn't it?"
"More than that, it's been 317 years, hehe~"
...
While the snake warmly entertained Hai Shigong and the alligator dragon, it secretly observed the dragon's expression.
The dragon remained calm and composed, showing no sign of anything amiss.
My heart was actually in turmoil.
"These two Nascent Soul stage demons couldn't possibly be part of Chen Chunan's scheme! What makes them so sure the viper is doomed?"
Seeing that the dragon showed no unusual reaction, the viper chuckled to itself and then ignored it.
Now that his side has four Nascent Soul cultivators, even without the Flood Dragon, he should be able to destroy the three upper sects!
Of the three sects, the most difficult to conquer is the Cold Moon Cave Heaven, even though the Serpent once said it would be the first to crush the Taiyin Sect.
But he knew very well that the easiest place to break through now was the Five Elements Sect, followed by the Upper Yuan Grotto Heaven.
Of the three sects that were destroyed, the Five Elements Sect, which seemed the strongest, was actually the easiest to conquer. The Taiyin Sect, which seemed the weakest, occupied the Ancient Immortal Cave. Unless it broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, it had no hope of defeating it.
However, it's probably best to deal with this dragon beforehand to avoid it becoming a variable!
宴罢
Water Mansion Secret Chamber
The viper looked at Hai Shigong and Tuolong, who seemed puzzled as to why they hadn't invited the dragon, and said, "Fellow Daoists, there's no need to be surprised. That dragon has ulterior motives. He went to Hanyue Cave Heaven before, and I'm afraid he's already made connections with the three upper sects. I think he's not satisfied with just half of the water veins in Pingjiang; he wants them all. That's why we didn't invite him this time."
The black goby, sensing the subtle meaning behind the song, quickly offered its suggestion:
"Brother, as mortals always say, to fight external enemies, one must first secure internal stability."
Since this dragon has already turned against us, why don't we eliminate him first? Then we can deal with the Three Upper Sect with peace of mind.
That way we don't have to worry about him turning on us at any time!
With fellow Daoists Hai Shi Gong and Tuo Long here to lend a hand, we cannot allow them to remain in danger.
Hai Shi Gong and the other man were somewhat incredulous to learn that the dragon had actually colluded with the three upper sects.
Since they were on good terms with the viper and the black snake, they naturally knew about their situation with the three upper sects. Under such circumstances, why did they still turn against them?
It's just that it was blind to its own good.
The two exchanged a glance and said, "Then let's attack together! We must ensure they can't escape!"
Although the dragon had mostly stayed in underground water veins and was not as intelligent as the viper, it was not stupid either.
He went back and carefully recalled the details of today's banquet, as well as the changes in the viper's attitude over the past few days. It was clear that the viper had become suspicious of him.
"This is no place to linger! I was hoping to observe the situation a bit longer, but it seems I've really ended up helping that kid Chen Chunan this time!"
The dragon, having made a decision in a moment, immediately stretched out its body, preparing to break through the water.
But as soon as he swam to the entrance, he realized something was wrong. His cave had been sealed off by an array at some point!
Just as he unleashed the Heaven-Opening Pearl to break the seal, four figures suddenly appeared outside.
"Fellow Daoist Jiaolong, it's getting late. Where are you headed if not to stay in your cave?"
"Hehe, old Hui, you really think highly of me, Jiao. You waited until these two Nascent Soul cultivators arrived before you made your move."
"Further words are useless. Since you intended to scheme against me, you should bear the consequences today!"
"Hahaha, you really think you've got me cornered? A piece of trash who doesn't even dare to transform into a dragon?"
The dragon's mocking tone and its undisguised disdainful gaze deeply stung the viper.
"You bastard! Die!"
The nine serpent forms instantly appeared, with the only solid head in the very center radiating a clear light.
The dragon's pupils contracted slightly, then it no longer hesitated.
The five-colored pearl obtained from Shoucheng shone brightly and slammed fiercely into the barrier.
The barrier shattered into fragments, and the dragon instantly revealed its true form.
Deer antlers, snake neck, clam belly, tiger paws, eagle claws, and an extremely long dragon beard that floats in the water.
The viper, which was preparing its supernatural powers, was stunned for a full breath.
The sea stone dragon couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "A real dragon!?!"
The snake's heart was already filled with turbulent waves.
Every step of the Dragon Transformation Tribulation is to get closer to becoming a true dragon. Countless predecessors have spent their entire lives trapped at the level of Jiao (蛟).
But now, a mere Nascent Soul stage dragon has actually obtained seven-tenths of the divine essence of a true dragon!
"You have received the legacy of the True Dragon! No wonder you possess such pure spiritual energy, yet you haven't joined the Seven Immortal Islands! Fellow Daoists, kill him, and we will all share the legacy of the True Dragon!"
Before the viper could finish speaking, the little alligator dragon, which was of the alligator dragon family, couldn't wait to use its magic weapon and rush forward.
The dragon sneered, "You're courting death!"
The Heaven-Opening Pearl shot out from the dragon's claw once again, accompanied by the dragon pearl he had painstakingly cultivated for many years.
At the same time, his innate supernatural power began to develop, and a white, clear light began to expand around his neck.
Alarm bells rang in the serpent's mind: "Fellow Daoist Alligator Dragon, get out of the way!"
Immediately, the serpent unleashed its still-developing supernatural power, and a stream of black viscous liquid transformed into a water arrow, shooting fiercely towards the dragon.
The little alligator dragon also realized something was wrong, but it was too late for him to avoid it.
He had no choice but to quickly summon his defensive magic treasure to protect himself, and at the same time, he summoned his inner core to meet the attack.
next moment
In the horrified eyes of the three—the viper, the black goby, and the stone elder—the little alligator dragon struck by the Heaven-Opening Pearl, the Dragon Pearl, and the Flood Dragon's divine power shattered into tiny fragments like a crystal struck by a heavy hammer.
The Nascent Soul stage demon couldn't even withstand a single round against the dragon, and was instantly annihilated, body and soul.
The spirits of Hai Shigong and Hei Li were greatly disturbed, and they immediately transformed into their true forms, flashing backward.
At this moment, the serpent's attack on the dragon also landed on the dragon.
There was no earth-shattering commotion, no dazzling brilliance; it simply touched the dragon's scales and burrowed inside.
Subsequently, the entire dragon turned a dark bluish-black color, and its scales began to fall off, revealing necrotic muscle tissue underneath.
The viper was overjoyed at its success in using its supernatural powers: "You beast! Once I obtain your secret to transforming into a dragon, I will send you into the cycle of reincarnation!"
The dragon's face, now stripped of many scales, was filled with murderous intent.
What a vicious supernatural power! It not only damaged my physical body, but even my primordial spirit feels somewhat unstable!
I have to go!
"Aoki Spirit Shuttle! Escape!"
Just as the viper was about to strike a few more times, a flash of blue light appeared before its eyes, and then the dragon disappeared.
The viper's ecstatic expression froze instantly: "Where's the dragon? Where's the dragon? My secret to transforming into a dragon!!!"
...
the other side
Cold Moon Cave
Youjing ran into the main hall in a panic. Before her master could reprimand her, she cried out, "Master, something terrible has happened! A rotten dragon has landed at the entrance of our cave. It says it's looking for you and Master Chen."
Han Yuqiu's spirits lifted, and he flashed out of the cave. He saw a flying shuttle planted in front of his cave entrance, with a dragon, clearly suffering from poison, coiled up on it, its head suspended by an inner core that was healing itself.
With a wave of her hand, Han Yuqiu instantly brought the dragon and shuttle into the cave.
No sooner had they entered the cave than the murderous serpent, along with the black snake and the sea stone, tracked them down.
