Chapter 1243: Dragon Sound (2/2)

A while later, a crisp voice resounded next to Li Qiye: “Will Brother Zhang be able to do it?”

No one knows when Hong Yujiao appeared beside Li Qiye. She was quite worried while watching Zhang Baitu under the tree.

Li Qiye flatly said: “All of you know nothing about what kind of people your ancestors were and what they experienced. This is because you have no interest in them at all.”

Hong Yujiao couldn’t refute because she was indeed ignorant of them.

Hong Yujiao eventually spoke: “You are the successor of Peac.o.c.k Land, a tree controller.” After returning, she uncovered all of his information and understood his ident.i.ty.

Li Qiye didn’t answer and continued his watch.

“I misunderstood you before.” She spoke after a moment of silence: “The Peac.o.c.k Treefather has always been protecting the human race and is adored by many. You are its disciple, so I’m sure you weren’t scheming against Dongting Lake.”

Li Qiye chuckled after hearing this. It seemed that the misconception of him being related to the Peac.o.c.k Tree had spread uncontrollably. However, he was too lazy to correct them.

“My father wants to meet you.” She eventually revealed her goal.

Li Qiye laughed and replied: “What does he want to talk about? The Hundred-Saints Hall or what happened with the Ironscale School?”

“Most likely the business of the human race.” She replied: “Peac.o.c.k Land is the second largest haven for humans after the Exquisite Valley. Even though Dongting Lake isn’t as large as Peac.o.c.k Land, there are many things that can be done to mutual benefit.”

“That’s fine, if he wants to talk, tell him to come and see me.” Li Qiye just smiled with a completely indifferent att.i.tude.

She refrained from speaking. Li Qiye’s words sounded like a command for her father, so she couldn’t exactly tell him this.

“It’s time.” Li Qiye had been fixated on Zhang Baitu the whole time. His eyes flashed as he noticed something.

Hong Yujiao quickly turned to look at her senior brother as well. A buzzing emanated from Zhang Baitu’s body as it lit up, emitting a frightening light.

The old tree behind him unexpectedly shook a little bit along with his body; it was as if they were touching something. The brilliance from his body increased as time went on, and the light slowly turned into rays.

The tree then stopped moving and a very faint sound came about. While listening to it carefully, one could vaguely hear the roar of a true dragon. The roar sounded as if it was saying something, but humans couldn’t understand it.

“Is that really the sound of a dragon?” The cultivators outside the thicket were astonished.

“What? How is this possible? Zhang Baitu actually obtained a fortune?” Some of them couldn’t believe this scene while murmuring to themselves.

They felt that this was simply impossible. Even though people said that dragon cries were present in the valley, only a very small number of masters were able to hear them. Others didn’t have this privilege.

Thus, it was even more impossible for Zhang Baitu who was known to have rubbish talent. Continuously failing despite joining so many sects left others thinking of him as a being that was hopelessly stupid.

It would be daydreaming for someone like him to think about gaining enlightenment in Dragonhark Valley.

However, a strange visual phenomenon was occurring around him. The impossible was unraveling before the crowd.

“That’s a dragon’s cry?” Hong Yujiao became absent-minded as well. She didn’t have much hope in Zhang Baitu either. It was not because she looked down on him, but because he indeed possessed some flaws in terms of cultivation.

“I think so.” The cultivators outside were jolted. They quickly sat down and focused in order to listen. They wanted to understand what the dragon was saying to obtain this fortune.

Hong Yujiao attentively listened as well in order to comprehend the faint cries of the dragon.
