"Damn, a bunch of useless fools, scared out of their wits by a monk!" cursed the leading middle-aged Taoist as he hopped around in anger.
He pulled a talisman from his bosom, muttered an incantation into the air, and the talisman spontaneously ignited. A phantom ice dragon appeared in the sky, baring its teeth and claws, lunging toward Faming.
Seeing this, Faming slightly furrowed his brow, "A Cold Dragon illusion."
Cold Dragons are unique to the Northern Sea. That a Taoist here would have such a trick up his sleeve, could it be there's a shadow of the Buddhist Sect behind this?
Though devoted to Buddhism, Faming, having resided in Mount Ling for a long time, knew quite a lot about the affairs of the Three Realms.
The Dragon Clan of the Three Realms is generally divided into three camps. One allied with the Heavenly Court, notably the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas and various other Dragon Kings ruling over rivers and lakes.
