When the Great Dao Dies, I Remain; When Spiritual Energy Withers, I Endure

With a few splashes.

Several people jumped into the sea and dived to the bottom of the sea.

While resisting the turbulent sea water, they divided their minds to look for the traces of the dragon ball.

They dared not use their spiritual energy, so they were only slightly stronger than ordinary people.

If it weren't for the thick hemp rope tied around their waists, they would have been washed away by the sea water and forced to use their spiritual energy.

But even so, searching was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

With strong faith, several people never thought of giving up.

However...

After searching for a few days.

They felt cold in their hearts, and a huge panic hit their minds.

They did not find the dragon ball.

But...

Found a dragon!

A sealed dragon!

On a certain seabed.

Nineteen Dinghai Shenzhu stood, and black chains spread out from the pillars. Each one was as thick as a thigh, firmly locking a nearly 1,000-meter dragon to the bottom of the sea.

What's more terrifying is...

The dragon is still alive.

Not only alive, but also struggling madly, and every struggle would cause the sea to roar and the sky to blow strong winds.

Several black chains have been broken.

Everyone did not dare to stay and turned around and ran. After finally getting ashore, they were still in shock.

A woman's legs softened and she sat down with cold sweat on her forehead.

Dragon... Jiaolong.

Even when the spiritual energy is at its peak, it is extremely rare.

It was her first time seeing a living thing, how could she not be shocked.

"What's going on? Didn't they say that all the Jiaolongs were killed?" An old man looked ferocious.

"The rumor is wrong!" A middle-aged man said solemnly, "I remembered a piece of gossip I heard before."

"It is said that there are nine dragons here, and the Dragon Slayer Taoist killed eight of them in a row, but when fighting the ninth one... even if he has a higher cultivation level than one, it is difficult to kill it!"

"Because the other party is a genius among the dragons, there is a great probability that he will be able to survive the thunder tribulation and become a real dragon in the future!"

"The Dragon Slayer Taoist has no choice but to seal it!"

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he glanced at the people he was traveling with, and saw that their faces were uncertain.

They came to find the dragon ball, not the dragon.

A woman pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "I may know the origin of that dragon."

As soon as this was said, everyone looked at her.

The woman continued, "Have you heard of the Star Ranking?"

"Of course."

Fu Ren's expression was complicated. "When the spiritual energy was at its peak, the geniuses were like stars. The Fuyao Holy Land, which supported the world, has drawn up a list that includes all the geniuses in the world."

"Those who are on the list can not only gain fame, but also a star in the sky."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look up at the sky.

At that time, the scene of thousands of stars shining brightly was very shocking.

He once swore a poisonous oath that he must get a star that belongs to him alone.

The same was true for the people around him.

The woman continued, "It is rumored that there is a dragon in the South China Sea, which is also on the list, and ranks high in the list..."

"Evil Dragon Star: Jiao Ba."

"In the star list, it is a great star-level prodigy!"

"It's a pity that he has done so many evil things, and somehow he suddenly disappeared."

Someone exclaimed, "It's actually a great star!"

People who support the world like to use the weight of stars to describe the weight of prodigies.

There is only one great star-level prodigy among billions.

But thinking of this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. The dragon at the bottom of the sea broke several chains...

"Go back and tell Prefect Huang!" Fu Ren realized the seriousness of the matter.

...

Huang Tingsheng received a secret letter.

Recently, he was so busy with the flood. On the one hand, the project was huge, money and food were tight, and the funding he asked for from the court had not arrived yet.

On the other hand, the influx of refugees in the city was also a big problem in how to resettle them.

After finally taking a few minutes to rest, there was another secret letter on the desk.

He sighed, opened the secret letter and took a look.

His brows gradually knitted together.

...

As a famous Red Leaf Blade, Zuo Qiuye has enjoyed generous treatment since she came to Longcheng.

When the people were worried about money and food, she received the salary from the Xia family and only needed to concentrate on practicing martial arts.

Recently, her Red Leaf Blade Skills have made a breakthrough.

The sword energy is all over the place.

It can cut five meters away!

The Xia family has also established a firm foothold in Longcheng.

In the past few days, many wealthy families in the city have held banquets and found various reasons to invite her to their homes.

Zuo Qiuye usually declined, but there were always some that she couldn't refuse.

For example, this morning.

Seeing that the Spring Festival was approaching, the Jia family in Longcheng used the excuse of ushering in the spring to hold a banquet and invited local officials, prominent landlords, famous Jianghu guests, and scholars.

The Xia family was also among the invited guests.

However, Xia Mei was busy and couldn't leave, so she asked Zuo Qiuye to go in her place.

At the banquet, the Jia family invited the chef of Hu Lai Xiang, and served several famous dishes on each table.

When the meal was in high spirits, a poet drank to make fun of it.

At the end, another jar of good wine was served.

Everyone said that it was a great feast.

It was originally an ordinary banquet.

Who knew that the chef of Hu Lai Xiang suddenly burst into tears.

Everyone asked about it.

The chef took this opportunity to complain bitterly.

He said that Hu Lai Xiang was an old store in Longcheng, and its business was booming before, but a few years ago, a woman pretended to get close to him, deceived his feelings, and also stole his family's craftsmanship.

As if thinking of something sad, the man burst into tears on this winter day, with true feelings.

He also said that if it was just this, it would be fine.

The key is that the wine brewing method that has been passed down for more than ten generations in the family was also stolen by the woman.

As he spoke, the man actually wanted to commit suicide.

But he was stopped by the Jianghu people present.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, the Jianghu people were the most impulsive.

Someone cursed loudly, saying that there was such a wicked woman, and wanted to smash the other party's store to vent the chef's anger.

The chef refused in every possible way, but refused to say which restaurant it was.

But soon, someone else spoke up and told everyone that it must be the Longlaixiang Restaurant.

This toss.

The banquet slowly evolved into a crusade meeting.

Zuoqiu Ye's reputation in the Jianghu is not low. In addition to his high martial arts skills, his figure and appearance are also unique.

At the beginning of the banquet, Mr. Jia gave her a big red envelope, calling her the chivalrous and righteous Zuo Nvxia, and saying that her presence at the banquet brought honor to the Jia family.

At this moment, hearing that the cook had suffered such injustice, she couldn't stay out of it.

A group of Jianghu guests walked towards the Longlaixiang dining hall with a fierce momentum.
