Chapter 185

Wang Yuyan, upon hearing this, first froze in shock, then a look of incredulous surprise and excitement spread across her face!

She never expected that she, of all people, could... could actually obtain such a heaven-defying treasure!

She had originally thought that merely having the chance to step onto the path of the Wu Lin was already a great gift from heaven.

Who would have thought that her Master would actually bestow upon her such a precious "False Golden Core"!

This... how could she not be moved? How could she not be excited?

She immediately knelt on the ground, bowed her head respectfully to Brother Ning Chuan in gratitude, her voice trembling slightly with excitement:

"Thank you, Master, for your generous gift! This servant... this servant will surely do everything in her power to relieve Master's worries, even if it means dying ten thousand times!"

In that moment, her gratitude and admiration for Brother Ning Chuan reached an unprecedented peak.

She knew that for the rest of her life, she could never leave behind this mysterious Mo Ce yet deeply benevolent Dragon Lord who had bestowed such great kindness upon her.

Huang Rong, watching this scene, wore a sincere smile on her face, with not a shred of jealousy or dissatisfaction.

She knew that Brother Chuan had his reasons for doing this.

Moreover, she herself already possessed the superior "Nine-Turn Creation False Golden Core," so naturally she would not envy Wang Yuyan's "Second-Turn" one.

Instead, she stepped forward, affectionately took Wang Yuyan's hand, and said with a grin:

"Sister Wang Yuyan, get up quickly! This is Brother Chuan's heartfelt intention!"

"From now on, we sisters must cultivate well together, striving to help Brother Chuan as soon as possible!"

After spending this time together and sharing the experience of serving Brother Ning Chuan.

The relationship between the two women had become much more harmonious, even developing a hint of sisterly affection.

After all, in their hearts, that most important sky belonged to the same towering existence—Brother Ning Chuan.

Brother Ning Chuan looked at the two thousand charms and ten thousand beauties, these peerless maidens each with their own unique allure, showing joy and excitement because of his "gift."

A faint smile rose in his heart, bringing a trace of inexplicable warmth and... a hint of indescribable heat.

He was somewhat looking forward to the day when he would truly transform into human form, hoping it would arrive soon.

By then, he would surely embrace all these peerless beauties in his arms and properly "cherish" them.

Time slowly passed in this atmosphere of tranquility brimming with vitality.

Outside Taohuadao, the Jianghu had completely erupted due to the series of earth-shattering events that had occurred previously.

Quanzhen Sect.

Inside Chongyang Palace on Mount Zhongnan, a gloomy cloud of despair hung over everything.

After Divine Ability Wang Chong led the remaining disciples through countless hardships and finally delivered those precious Daoist scriptures to Taohuadao.

Upon returning to Shanmen, he immediately summoned all disciples present on the mountain and announced a decision that shocked everyone:

The Quanzhen Sect will seal the mountain for twenty years starting today!

Within these twenty years, no disciple is allowed to descend the mountain or enter the world to face tribulations without permission!

Anyone who violates this order will be expelled from the Zhuchushi Sect and never employed again!

Upon hearing this, all the disciples' faces changed drastically, and a clamor erupted!

They never expected that the Quanzhen Sect, which always claimed to be the "Orthodox Xuanmenzheng Sect of the World" and took it upon itself to "uphold the righteous path of the Wu Lin."

Would actually choose at this moment to... seal the mountain and hide from the world?!

This is simply destroying one's own Great Wall and willingly sinking into depravity!

But when they saw Master Wang Chong's face, filled with exhaustion, loneliness, and a hint of indescribable frustration and fear.

All dissatisfaction and doubts turned into deep helplessness and dejection.

They knew that Master's trip to Taohuadao must have suffered unimaginable blows and setbacks.

Otherwise, with the pride and integrity of the number one among the Five Greats, he would never have made a decision so close to "admitting defeat."

"Yes... Master."

Finally, all the disciples could only bow helplessly and accept the order.

Their hearts were filled with confusion and unease about the future.

This news quickly spread across the entire Jianghu as if it had sprouted wings.

Stirring up another huge storm!

"Did you hear?! The Quanzhen Sect actually... actually announced a twenty-year mountain seal!"

"What?! How is that possible?! The Quanzhen Sect is the Diyida Sect of the current Great Song! How could True Person Wang Chong make such a decision?!"

"What else could it be? It must be related to that Dragon Lord of Taohuadao!"

"There are rumors that True Person Divine Ability Wang Chong was scared into submission by that Dragon Lord! In despair, he had no choice but to choose to seal the mountain and hide from the world to seek self-preservation!"

"Sss—! Even Divine Ability Wang Chong is no match?! What realm of terror has that Dragon Lord reached?!"

"Too terrifying! Too terrifying! Taohuadao is simply a dragon pool and tiger den!"

"..."

Above the Jianghu, people debated endlessly, with endless speculation.

Various legends about the Dragon Lord of Taohuadao were spread as if they were divine and mysterious beyond comprehension.

Brother Ning Chuan's reputation in the Great Song Jianghu reached an unprecedented peak!

It even vaguely began to overshadow the Five Greats!

Causing countless people of the Jianghu to turn pale at the mere mention of his name and speak of him with awe and reverence!

At the same time.

In the distant Mongol Yuan Empire, inside the Jin Bihuihuang royal tent of the capital.

A generation's peerless genius, Genghis Khan, the Great Khan of the Mongol Yuan, sat upright upon the Golden Throne symbolizing supreme power.

His eyes, sharp as a falcon's, now held a hint of scrutiny and displeasure as they gazed down at the royal family member kneeling before him—his most beloved and most relied-upon, Princess Shao Min, Zhao Min.

"Min Min, I heard that during your journey to the Central Plains this time, you not only lost soldiers and officers, but even the three great experts I bestowed upon you were lost?"

Genghis Khan's voice, though not loud, carried an undeniable majesty and overwhelming pressure.

It made the air within the entire great tent seem as if it had frozen solid.

Zhao Min's delicate body trembled slightly; she immediately bowed her head and said, "Great Khan, calm your anger! This matter... this matter was indeed due to Min Min's insufficient foresight and imperfect conduct, causing some losses, but the three of the Golden Wheel National Master were not lost."

Her mind raced, thinking of countermeasures.

She knew that although the Great Khan loved her, when it came to matters involving the prestige and interests of the Great Yuan, he was merciless.

If she responded improperly, she feared it would provoke her father Khan's thunderous wrath.

"However, Great Khan, this matter... may not be entirely bad." Zhao Min shifted her tone, a cunning glint flashing in her eyes.

"Although Min Min suffered a small loss, because of this, a faint connection has been established with that mysterious and unfathomable Dragon Island Lord of Taohuadao."

"That Dragon Island Lord's strength is unfathomable, far beyond that of ordinary Wu Lingaoshou."

"If... if an opportunity arises in the future to bring him under the service of our Great Yuan, to serve my father Khan."

"Then for our Great Yuan's great cause of unifying the world, it will surely be like adding wings to a tiger!"

She tried to use this method to divert the Great Khan's attention and gain some room for maneuvering for herself.

Upon hearing this, a glint of interest flashed within Genghis Khan's sharp eyes.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Oh? A dragon? An existence capable of surpassing the three great experts under your command indeed possesses some skill."

"In that case, I, the Great Khan, shall send our Great Yuan's National Guardian Dharma Master, the Great National Master Babasiba, to personally visit Taohuadao."

"Let him meet this so-called dragon and see what capabilities it truly possesses!"

"If it is sensible, then subdue it, bring it back to Dadu, and have it guard the imperial treasury for me!"

"If it does not appreciate the favor, then... simply slay it, take its dragon core, and refine it into a divine medicine!"

His tone was calm, yet filled with undeniable dominance and decisive ruthlessness!

Standing beside Genghis Khan, an old monk draped in a red kasaya, with a withered face but eyes bright as stars, slowly opened his eyes upon hearing this.

The aura he emanated, as deep as the ocean and boundless as the heavens, had clearly surpassed the Fan Chou of a Grand Master, reaching the legendary Immortal Realm of the Land!

He was none other than the National Guardian Dharma Master of the Mongol Yuan Empire, the number one expert of the Mi Sect—Babasiba!

His deep eyes calmly looked at Zhao Min, awaiting her response.

Feeling Babasiba's gaze, which was as substantial as a physical object, Zhao Min's heart involuntarily shivered slightly.

She knew that if an existence at the Immortal Realm level like Babasiba personally took action.

It would bring catastrophic disaster upon her master!

This was absolutely not what she wanted to see!
