Chapter 126

These matters had long been buried in the mists of history as time passed; except for a very few parties involved, almost no one knew of them.

Brother Ning Chuan merely gazed lightly at Xiao Yuanshan, within those pale golden dragon pupils flashing deep and Mo Ce light, as if containing the stars of the universe and the secrets of eternity.

He spoke in a voice that was calm and waveless, yet carried a hint of unquestionable majesty and mystery:

"I am of the True Dragon bloodline, born bearing the qi luck of heaven and earth, belonging to the category of ancient divine beasts."

"I possess innate divine powers, capable of deducing the secrets of heaven, penetrating the causes and effects of all things in the world, and clarifying the threads of past and future."

"Spending a little cost to deduce these past events that have long occurred, what difficulty is there in that?"

He naturally would not reveal the secret that he was a transmigrator and knew the plot, so he casually found a reason that sounded profound and Mo Ce, and also best fit his current identity.

Hearing this, everyone sucked in a cold breath, and their awe of Brother Ning Chuan in their hearts rose again to a new peak!

Deduce the secrets of heaven? Penetrate causes and effects? Clarify past and future?!

This... this completely exceeded their understanding of martial arts!

This is simply a method only gods possess!

This is more terrifying and awe-inspiring than mere physical strength!

Before such an existence capable of penetrating everything, they felt as if they were transparent, with no secrets at all!

They did not even dare to have any disrespectful thoughts, fearing the other party would detect them...

Xiao Yuanshan stared blankly at Brother Ning Chuan, his expression infinitely complex, and a storm of waves rose in his heart.

He had originally thought he had estimated the strength of this flood dragon sufficiently high.

He never expected the other party not only to have sky-reaching martial power, but also to possess such incredible divine powers!

After a moment, he seemed to have figured something out, and also seemed to have accepted his fate.

A hint of relief and determination appeared on his face.

He took a deep breath, and then, under the gaze of everyone filled with disbelief.

This Grandmaster-level powerhouse, who had once been arrogant and domineering, cold and aloof, and did not even place the Five Greats in his eyes.

Actually knelt slowly before Brother Ning Chuan, and respectfully knocked his head three times with a loud thud!

The forehead colliding with the beach produced a dull sound.

"Xiao Yuanshan, pays homage to Your Excellency!"

His voice was hoarse, yet carried a hint of unprecedented piety and respect.

"Past grievances are all like passing clouds. Xiao failed to recognize Mount Tai, offended Your Excellency, please forgive Your Excellency!"

"I am willing to serve Your Excellency as my master, running errands and cutting through thorns, willing to die ten thousand times without hesitation!"

"I only ask Your Excellency to help me personally kill my enemy Southern Murong Bo, and avenge this sea of blood for my wife, children, and clan members who died miserably!"

He had clearly understood Brother Ning Chuan's intentions.

Since the other party exposed his identity, told him the truth about his enemy, and possessed such unfathomable strength and divine powers, he naturally would not let him go easily.

Rather than dying in humiliation, or being forcibly controlled by the other party, it is better to actively choose submission, borrowing the power of this unfathomable flood dragon to fulfill his lifelong wish!

This might be his only chance!

Watching this scene before them, everyone was deeply shaken again!

A top-tier powerhouse of Grandmaster level, actually... actually willingly serving a flood dragon as master?!

And in such a pious, such a humble posture?!

This... this is too incredible! Too subversive of the three views!

They felt that everything they experienced today was more bizarre and more shocking than their entire lives combined!

The future of Taohuadao, and even the future of the entire Jianghu, would probably undergo earth-shaking changes because of the appearance of this black flood dragon!

Brother Ning Chuan looked at Xiao Yuanshan kneeling on the ground, merely nodded lightly, with no ripples at all in his eyes.

As if subduing a Grandmaster was, to him, merely a trivial matter.

It counted as accepting his submission.

Immediately, he opened his flood dragon mouth and slowly spat out a drop of special flood dragon essence blood from his mouth, shimmering with a strange black-gold luster, containing vast life energy and pure flood dragon origin power.

That drop of essence blood was only the size of a thumb, yet seemed to contain a small world, emitting energy fluctuations that made one's heart tremble, and a tempting fragrance.

This drop of essence blood was different from the 5.4 previously bestowed upon Qu Lingfeng and others; it contained more pure flood dragon origin power, and a trace of Brother Ning Chuan's mental imprint.

"Swallow it." Brother Ning Chuan said calmly, his voice carrying no emotion at all.

Xiao Yuanshan had no hesitation, nor any doubt, and directly opened his mouth to swallow the flood dragon essence blood floating before him into his belly.

He knew this was both a symbol of submission, and also... a great opportunity!

In an instant, an indescribable vast and gentle energy, like a river breaching its dam, erupted within his body!

The severe injuries he had suffered from his fierce battle with Brother Ning Chuan, whether broken bones and tendons, damaged internal organs, or the exhausted gang qi.

Actually recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, rapidly!

The broken bones and tendons healed quickly amidst crackling sounds, even becoming more resilient!

The damaged internal organs revived under the nourishment of vast life energy, even becoming stronger than before!

The dried-up dantian sea of qi also rapidly filled up under the supplementation of pure flood dragon yuan power, even showing signs of breakthrough!

Not only that, he vaguely felt that a mysterious, indescribable connection, originating from the depths of the soul, had been established between himself and the black flood dragon before him.

As if his life and death depended entirely on the other party's single thought; with just one thought from the other party, he could be scattered to the winds.

He knew this was the price of submission, and also a kind of... alternative bondage and control.

But he did not regret it; instead, a sense of unprecedented peace and expectation rose in his heart.

After a moment, Xiao Yuanshan's injuries had actually recovered seven or eight tenths!

His strength even vaguely improved a bit compared to his previous peak period!

He bowed his head respectfully to Brother Ning Chuan again, his voice filled with absolute loyalty and submission:

"Xiao Xiao Yuanshan, pays homage to my master!"
