Are All Dragons This Mischievous?

Liu Yuxi and the others stared at the massive creature before them, feeling its terrifying aura, their faces turning pale with fear.

They never imagined that this treasure trove would be hiding such a horrifying monster!

A Black Flood Dragon!

And it was at the Great Accomplishment realm!

Mu Rongyunhai and the others quickly reached Mu Rongong and his companion. 

Sensing that the two still had life in them, they all heaved a sigh of relief.

They quickly took out spirit pills and fed them to the two.

Then, they carried them and fled in the opposite direction.

They also glanced at the Black Flood Dragon.

With its serpentine body and four legs, its aura was that of the Great Accomplishment realm.

Legends said the Black Flood Dragon evolved from snake-type demonic beasts because those beasts possessed traces of the ancient Dragon race's bloodline.

Any creature related to the ancient Dragon race was formidable!

All they could do now was run.

Whether they could escape or not, running was their only option.

At this moment, Liu Yuxi also looked towards the Tribulation Elder and screamed, "Run! Take me away from here quickly!!"

Against such a terrifying existence, if it decided to attack them, death would be their only fate.

They wouldn't even be able to run then!

The Tribulation Elder was also frightened by the terrifying Flood Dragon, his legs turning to jelly.

Hearing Liu Yuxi's scream, he regained his senses and prepared to flee.

But just as everyone was filled with dread, a figure suddenly appeared in midair before the Black Flood Dragon!

This person had red hair and a white robe, with an extraordinary aura, like a fallen celestial being.

At the Great Accomplishment peak realm?!

The group saw this and paused their escape for a moment.

Liu Yuxi's eyes lit up as the fear on her face instantly vanished.

She recognized the identity of this red-haired elder.

"It's the Pavilion Master of the Celestial Monarch Pavilion!!"

The Celestial Monarch Pavilion had immense influence across the continent.

This sect had existed for thousands of years.

When the Black Flood Dragon emerged after Long Aotian, it stopped in its tracks and scrutinized the person before it.

Their gazes collided at that moment, with electric sparks seeming to flash between them.

The Black Flood Dragon was at the middle stage of the Great Accomplishment realm.

While Long Aotian had reached the Celestial realm, able to defeat two peak Great Accomplishment experts.

But at this moment, he felt that this Black Flood Dragon might be his equal.

This feeling came from his subconscious.

Long Aotian frowned and turned to those behind him, saying in a deep voice, "Leave, all of you!"

He sensed that a great battle was about to unfold.

The group felt Long Aotian's formidable aura and thought he could easily crush the Black Flood Dragon.

Hearing his words, their faces paled again.

Liu Yuxi was also dazed for a moment.

As for Mu Rongyunhai and the others, they obediently shouted for their disciples to scatter and flee.

They would regroup at the sect later.

Then, they began retreating at high speed while carrying Mu Rongong and his companion, heading towards Qingxuan Town.

They had to seek justice from the elders of their sect!

The Thousand Feather Empire had gone too far in bullying them!

As for Liu Yuxi and her group, they also began retreating into the sky for now.

But they didn't leave immediately, wanting to observe the situation.

If Long Aotian won, they couldn't let this treasure trove go.

They could still try to establish connections with him!

Their empire urgently needed to forge good relationships with stronger forces!

In Qingxuan Town, in a courtyard...

After the Knife Artifact had just finished talking about divine artifacts, it suddenly exclaimed, "Little Goldfish, I feel like this demonic beast has a bit of the aura of your Dragon race."

The Divine Artifact didn't quite understand.

The other artifacts then chimed in.

"That's right, it feels like with a bit of cultivation, it could become a Dragon in the future."

"Why don't we just take it in? Then we'd have an extra errand runner. Ahem, Little Trash, I didn't mean you're the errand runner."

"I agree." 

"I agree too."

Divine Artifact: "..."

Alright, I guess I'm the errand runner.

The Divine Artifact felt rather helpless.

Then, a voice came from the little fish pond.

"Let's see how it goes. I need to observe whether it's worth cultivating."

Hearing this, the other artifacts understood the meaning.

They would watch the battle between the Black Flood Dragon and Long Aotian, and see how it played out.

The Goldfish then continued, "But we'll have to wait until the master falls asleep to discuss this further."

Upon hearing this, the other artifacts turned their gazes towards Chen Ping'an, who was standing outside, gazing into the distance deep in thought.

Before the valley...

Long Aotian kept his sharp gaze on the Black Flood Dragon, whose mere exhalation could stir up raging winds around it. He didn't move, not daring to act rashly, but was actually waiting for the others to leave first.

He had a premonition that his battle with the Black Flood Dragon would have far-reaching consequences.

The Black Flood Dragon's eyes were like lanterns as it stared at Long Aotian, but it suddenly couldn't hold back and opened its massive mouth to speak.

"Old man, what's up? You want to fight? Don't look at me and think I'm kind. I'm a bit pissed off right now. Don't blame me if I beat you until you crap yourself!"

The Black Flood Dragon was annoyed at Long Aotian's intense stare.

It didn't provoke anyone.

It was just sleeping peacefully.

Then those two brats came in and bumped its butt.

Even Buddhas can get angry!

Of course, it had already disciplined those two from the Mu Rong Sect.

It didn't come out this time to slaughter anyone.

As a Buddhist, it rarely killed, only emerging now to bask in the sun after waking up.

Long Aotian was taken aback by this somewhat ill-tempered and uncouth voice.

He then continued in a deep voice, "As long as I'm here, you won't be allowed to kill anyone."

Seeing the Black Flood Dragon's behavior, he assumed it intended to kill.

Upon hearing this, the Black Flood Dragon cursed, "Who said I wanted to kill anyone? I'm a Buddhist, aren't I?!"

Long Aotian was once again dumbfounded.

He felt this Black Flood Dragon was a bit unorthodox.

"They were innocent. Even if you don't kill them, if you try to harm them, I'll have to stop you!" Long Aotian continued solemnly.

The Leaning Mountain Sect's people were forced into this, so if the Black Flood Dragon tried to harm them, he wouldn't allow it.

Hearing this, the Black Flood Dragon was speechless.

"Who the hell said I wanted to harm them? I just came out to bask in the sun! Tsk, you're the one making trouble! What are you looking at? Not satisfied? Come at me then! Don't think you're so great just because your cultivation is higher than mine. Let me tell you, I've killed Celestial Beasts before. I'm asking if you're scared or not!"

The Black Flood Dragon spewed out a string of words.

Its four paws scraped the ground, as if a human would be rolling up their sleeves.

Long Aotian had maintained a serious expression earlier, but hearing about basking in the sun, he couldn't help but twitch his face a few times.

He was increasingly feeling that this Flood Dragon was unorthodox.

Aren't you a demonic beast? 

Can't you be a bit more bloodthirsty and vicious?

That way, I wouldn't have a guilty conscience when I slay you!

He realized that this Flood Dragon was more clever than humans.

Its speech was also rather uncouth and bizarre.

Just like a street punk hooligan.

This was absolutely unheard of in the demonic beast realm.

Even if demonic beasts had high cultivation levels and some intelligence, they would never possess such human-like thoughts and would always maintain their man-eating and bloodthirsty habits.

Yet this Black Flood Dragon claimed to be a Buddhist?!

"Nothing more to say? Scared? Hmph! I won't bother with you anymore. Just get the hell out of my way, I want to bask in the sun."

As it spoke, the Black Flood Dragon ignored Long Aotian and turned towards the sun.

A look of contentment seemed to appear on its dark face.

The group still hovering in the sky, including Liu Yuxi, were dumbstruck witnessing this scene.

As for the courtyard in Qingxuan Town, it was also dead silent at this moment.

After a while, the Knife Artifact said in a strange tone, "Little Goldfish, it seems all you Dragons are quite mischievous!"

Goldfish: "..."
