Chapter 170: You're the one causing trouble, you little rat

Ma Yu stood before Brother Ning Chuan's colossal, massive dragon body.

He felt an indescribable, terrifying pressure, like a solid mountain, crushing heavily upon his heart.

It made even his breathing become somewhat difficult.

Before his eyes, this black flood dragon had a single horn on its head, four claws on its belly, and its entire body was covered in pitch-black scales that shimmered with a cold metallic luster in the sunlight.

Those pale golden dragon eyes were like two small suns, filled with majesty and indifference, as if capable of piercing the human heart and seeing through all falsehoods in the world.

Rumors, after all, are not as good as seeing with one's own eyes!

Only until this moment did Ma Yu truly understand why his own master, Wang Chongyang, who was always arrogant and proud of being the first among the Five Greats, would show such helplessness and fear when mentioning this flood dragon.

Such an existence had completely exceeded his understanding of martial arts experts!

How could this be a Wu Lingaoshou?

It was clearly a primordial beast that had walked out of ancient myths!

Hearing Brother Ning Chuan's cold words, devoid of any emotion.

Ma Yu felt a chill rise straight from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

He immediately bent deeply to perform a great bow, his voice trembling slightly with uncontrollable fear as he said:

"Reporting to the Dragon Island Lord! This matter... this matter is indeed the fault of our Quanzhen Sect!"

"We failed to escort the Daozang properly, allowing the treasure to be robbed by petty thieves; we deserve death a thousand times over!"

"Please, Island Lord, calm your anger! My Master, True Person Wang Chongyang, has personally led his disciples to pursue the whereabouts of those bandits!"

"He instructed this disciple to come here specifically to beg the Island Lord to grant us some more time!"

"Everyone in our Quanzhen Sect will surely do everything possible to retrieve the Daozang, return it intact, and present it to the Island Lord!"

Speaking thus, he suppressed the sorrow and indignation in his heart and recounted in detail the previous ambush in the mountains and forests, the heavy casualties suffered by the Quanzhen Sect disciples, and the robbery of the Daozang.

His words were filled with hatred for those bandits and self-blame for his own incompetence.

After listening to Ma Yu's narration, a impatient cold snort flashed through those pale golden dragon eyes.

"Hmph! A bunch of useless things!"

His cold voice, like the north wind of deep winter, made Ma Yu's heart feel utterly frozen.

Originally, according to Brother Ning Chuan's style of action.

He was too lazy to bother with these so-called grievances and entanglements, and would certainly not care if the Quanzhen Sect had been attacked.

In his eyes, only results mattered.

Since the Quanzhen Sect had not delivered the Daozang to Taohuadao within the agreed time.

Then they had violated the agreement and deserved punishment.

At that time, he would simply march up Mount Zhongnan, slaughter the entire Quanzhen Manmen, and retrieve those Daozang himself; it would not be a difficult task.

As for whether the Daozang had been snatched by others, what did that have to do with him? That was the Quanzhen Sect's own incompetence.

But, changing his mind.

He was about to trigger the "Flood Dragon Tribulation" to undergo the most crucial transformation.

At this critical juncture, it was truly inappropriate to create unnecessary complications, to completely tear up the relationship with a great metaphysical sect like the Quanzhen Sect, and invite unnecessary trouble.

Getting those Daozang earlier to strengthen his own foundation and prepare for the Du Du Jie and subsequent cultivation was the top priority.

Moreover.

He also vaguely sensed that the true target of the masterminds behind the robbery of the Daozang was probably not merely those Daozang classics.

More likely, they were coming for him, this mysterious Dragon Island Lord!

"Hmph, just right; this Seat also wants to see what kind of demons and monsters dare to stir trouble on the forehead of the Great Year!"

Brother Ning Chuan sneered coldly in his heart and had already made his decision.

He said to Ma Yu, "Enough."

"Considering that Wang Chongyang still has a bit of face, this Seat will personally make the trip."

"It will save you useless things from messing things up again."

Hearing this, Ma Yu was stunned first, then an indescribable joy surged in his heart!
