Chapter 2078 (Raw 2183): Vicious-Tongued Puppets

Xiao Chen turned into a lightning bolt and moved five hundred kilometers away. After that, the army of the dead in relentless pursuit gave up the chase. They just stood where they were and looked at him coldly.

“Whoos.h.!.+”

Xiao Chen appeared in his true form and landed. Then, he turned his head back and saw overwhelming flames coming from the group of dead soldiers.

These dead soldiers showed no signs of life, manifesting only a pair of scarlet flames in their helmets.

Some sort of formation should be maintaining these dead soldiers. Although they were horrifying, they could not give chase beyond five hundred kilometers.

Xiao Chen removed his mask and took a long draw of air. He just had a close brush with death, nearly dying at the city wall.

He had not expected the statue at the city gate to discover his presence even though he wore the Death G.o.d Mask.

What kind of city was the ancient Azure Dragon city? Xiao Chen frowned heavily as he looked at the distant city in incredible puzzlement.

This should be the old lands of the Azure Dragons. However, why did the Azure Dragons’ old lands turn into this, occupied by a group of evil and unclean things while he, a member of the Azure Dragon Race, could not enter?

When combined, the army of the dead, the eighteen dragon souls, and Desolate Slave Soul Reaper shrouded this ancient dragon city in mystery.

“How come there is a palace there?!”

Xiao Chen felt somewhat surprised to discover a palace halfway up the mountain in the north.

The slightly dilapidated exterior could not hide the palace’s majesty and splendor, allowing one to make out the shocking grandeur it once had.

Since Xiao Chen could not enter the dragon city, he had nothing else to do. After thinking for a while, he headed for the palace.

At the same time, Qin Zhuolin also managed to reach the same pool of water after escaping mortal danger.

Blood had covered Qin Zhuolin by the time he arrived here. He was in no better state compared to Xiao Chen then.

Qin Zhuolin was on his last legs. Although no Demonic Qi Veritable Essence Energy turned restless in him, he jumped into the pool without thinking, after the initial shock.

“Splas.h.!.+”

Like Xiao Chen, when Qin Zhuolin entered the water, his heartbeat increased uncontrollably. Just as it pushed him to the verge of death, a drop of heart’s blood seeped out and merged with the blood moon. Then, he immediately fainted.

When Qin Zhuolin woke up, he was lying beside the ancient well. When he looked up, the sky was bright, the midday sun blazing high in the sky.

The fierce sun shone on Qin Zhuolin’s body. The sunlight instantly swept away the cold Qi in his body with a sizzling sound.

“I came out?” Qin Zhuolin muttered, somewhat confused as the sunlight dazzled his eyes.

After managing to survive the fatal danger, he did not dare to believe the scene before him. He did not know if it was reality or an illusion.

Qin Zhuolin was the best Geomaster of the Desolate Sea. Even if he added all his past experiences together, the sum total would not be as dangerous as this time.

“Where’s Xiao Chen?”

A voice rang out beside Qin Zhuolin. When he turned to look, he saw that it was Sang, Xiao Chen’s mysterious friend.

This person was young, but his lifeforce acc.u.mulation was terrifyingly strong.

To Qin Zhuolin, Sang was even more mysterious than Xiao Chen.

On seeing Sang, Qin Zhuolin felt sure that he truly returned. However, these words also startled him awake.

“Xiao Chen did not come back?”

Qin Zhuolin was shocked. Before he jumped into the pool of water, he had noticed marks on the ground despite being distracted.

Someone had arrived at that pool of water with the blood moon before he had.

Yet, Sang now told Qin Zhuolin that Xiao Chen had not returned. In that case, where did Xiao Chen go?

“He did not. I waited by the ancient well the entire night. There were no movements at all.” Sang’s calm tone held a trace of worry.

Qin Zhuolin thought for a while before saying, “Don’t worry. He should not be in danger of dying. However, this ancient well is too mysterious. There are many things I can’t say for sure.”

Since Qin Zhuolin could leave via the blood moon pool of water, Xiao Chen logically should be able to, as well.

However, why did Xiao Chen not come out? Perhaps he ran into a fortuitous encounter for himself.

Actually, Qin Zhuolin had also realized that many of the things here were related to the Dragon Race.

Perhaps the Heavenly Dragon cultivator could leave fifty years ago because of his ident.i.ty.

That blood moon pool of water might be an opportunity for Xiao Chen.

“Are you sure?” Sang asked.

Qin Zhuolin nodded and replied, “He will be fine. I’m sure.”

Sang sighed softly and said, “I hope so.”

In the land of the blood moon:

Xiao Chen headed for the mysterious palace at the waist of the northern mountain. The closer he got, the more aged and dilapidated it looked.

Thousands of holes covered the exterior of the palace. Extremely clear signs of battle were obvious all over the grounds.

Shattered pieces of all sorts of material lay at the entrance, looking extremely strange.

Xiao Chen picked up a piece and took a look. He saw that it was metal that a blacksmith had tempered several times.

The metal’s form was already set and could not return to being a divine material, so it did not have much value.

Xiao Chen did not feel any danger from the palace. Compared to the pressure from the dragon city, the dragon souls, and Desolate Slaves guarding it, this palace did not seem special, aside from it being more dilapidated.

“Let’s go in and take a look.”

Xiao Chen made up his mind after thinking for a while.
