Chapter 301

"The island master's divine might surpasses all, his magical power boundless—we are utterly in awe!"

They knew their prior "correct alignment" and perfectly timed intervention had won them a sliver of favor, secured a glimmer of hope for their Yinkui Sect's future, and perhaps even… a tremendous opportunity!

At that moment, Huang Rong also snapped out of her initial shock and worry.

She stepped forward with light, lotus-like steps, approaching Zhu Yuyan and Wan Wan, her face lit with a sweet smile as she warmly invited:

"Sisters, today you've been frightened."

"Thank you both for your timely aid just now—your kindness moves me deeply."

"Why not come with me to Taohuadao and stay a few days? Let me, as host, offer you some comfort and ease your fright."

She had clearly noticed Ning Chuan's unusual attention toward these two Mo Sect beauties, and understood his intent.

Zhu Yuyan and Wan Wan exchanged glances, each seeing in the other's eyes a hint of barely concealed anticipation and excitement.

They would never refuse such an opportunity to get close to this mysterious Dragon Island Master—and perhaps even secure this "golden thigh."

They immediately smiled and agreed: "Then we shall… trouble you, Sister Huang Rong. We sisters have long wished to behold the fairyland scenery of Taohuadao."

Thus, today's events were finally settled.

All the challengers who had come to provoke—some dead, some wounded, some captured, others fled for their lives.

The fame of Taohuadao, and the terrifying reputation of Ning Chuan, the Dragon Island Master, would surely spread across the entire realm!

Becoming a forbidden presence no one in the Jianghu dared lightly provoke!

Ning Chuan let out a long, majestic Long Yin into the sky!

As if proclaiming his victory, and as if intimidating the still-hidden petty villains watching from the shadows!

Then, his massive dragon body, wreathed in faint mist, slowly flew toward Taohuadao, vanishing from everyone's sight.

Afterwards, Huang Rong and the others also led the two "new guests"—Zhu Yuyan and Wan Wan.

And the two captives, their Wu Gong stripped, now like walking corpses—Shi Shi Feixuan and Bi Bi Xiuxin.

All returned together to Taohuadao.

On the shore, the tens of thousands of Jianghu cultivators who had barely escaped death finally exhaled a long, relieved breath after Ning Chuan's departure.

As if waking from a nightmare.

They looked at each other, their eyes still filled with disbelief, shock, and the relief of survival.

After a moment of silence, a tidal wave of murmurs erupted!

"Heavens! So… so terrifying! That… that was truly a dragon?! I… I actually saw a dragon with my own eyes!"

"The Dragon Island Master… he's a being beyond gods and demons! He turns clouds to rain and rain to clouds! Even Land Immortals couldn't stand against him!"

"It's clear—the Jianghu will change! From now on, we must bow to this Dragon Island Master!"

"The Beiliang Wang Fu has kicked a iron plate! His son hung on rocks as fish bait—this is an unforgivable humiliation!"

"And the Fomen… after this battle, they'll be shattered, unable to recover! Even the Sweeping Monk and Ning Daoqi have perished!"

"…"

It was foreseeable.

After today, the entire Jianghu would shake with an unprecedented earthquake triggered by this East Sea battle!

Xu Xiao, the Beiliang Wang, upon learning his son had been captured and subjected to such humiliation, would never let this pass!

And the Fomen, having suffered such devastating losses—including the deaths of two Land Immortal-level Gao Seng—would surely take drastic action to restore their honor and avenge this blood-deep grudge!

A greater storm, sweeping across the entire realm, seemed… to be brewing!

And Taohuadao, along with that mysterious Mo Ce Dragon Island Master, would undoubtedly become the absolute center of this storm!

…

At this moment, upon Taohuadao.

The scene was entirely different from the noise and tension outside.

Ning Chuan paid no heed to the outside chaos or the coming challenges.

Upon returning to Taohuadao, he immediately plunged into the deep, dark pond in his small courtyard.

He needed to immediately adjust his state and continue absorbing and digesting the vast energy contained within the "Ten Thousand Buddha Relic."

That energy was simply too immense—even with his current cultivation base, he could not fully refine it in a short time.

Each refinement made him feel his demonic power advancing, his dragon dantian solidifying, his soul growing stronger.

He could clearly sense that once he fully absorbed this energy,

the black Xuan dragon dantian within him would complete its transformation and reach perfection!

Then, he could trigger the second heavenly tribulation of the 【Nine Tribulations Dragon Transformation Method】—the Transformation Tribulation!

That was what he most eagerly awaited!

Meanwhile, Zhu Yuyan, Wan Wan, Shi Shi Feixuan, and Bi Bi Xiuxin—the four stunning beauties, each with different backgrounds yet equally peerless in grace—

Were taken by Huang Rong and Wang Yuyan to the exquisite guest chambers already prepared on Taohuadao.

When they stepped onto this legendary foreign Xiandao and felt the spiritual energy far denser than outside—by more than several times—and the pervasive vitality, and the faintly circulating aura of mysterious arrays,

They were once again profoundly shaken!

This place was truly a cultivation paradise unmatched by any cave heaven or blessed land!

No wonder it could give birth to such a terrifying dragon!

Zhu Yuyan and Wan Wan, master and disciple, exchanged glances, each seeing in the other's eyes a hint of barely concealed awe and fervor!

Unspoken, the same thought rose in their hearts:

This mysterious Mo Ce, heaven-piercing Dragon Island Master… perhaps… perhaps he is the legendary enlightened lord our Mensheng Sect has long sought—the one who can lead us to Break free from the predicament and restore our ancient glory!

If we gain his support, our Yinkui Sect, even the entire Menmo Sect, could unify the Jianghu in no time!

And Shi Shi Feixuan and Bi Bi Xiuxin, upon sensing the dense spiritual energy on Taohuadao and the omnipresent powerful arrays—

Yet her heart was filled with endless bitterness and despair.

They finally understood what kind of terrifying entity they had been facing all along!

This could no longer be explained by mere Wu Gong!

This was clearly a beast… a true, ancient demonic deity on the verge of transforming into a true dragon!

All they hoped was that the Abbess Fan Fan Qinghui, far away on Di Ta Feng, would not act impulsively due to their capture and provoke this terrifying being again.

After temporarily imprisoning Shi Shi Feixuan and Bi Bi Xiuxin in a secluded courtyard, guarded personally by Xiao Xiao Yuanshan and sealed with intricate barriers,

Huang Rong immediately ordered the island's servants to prepare the most lavish banquet to entertain Zhi Yu Yan and Wan Wan, the two "esteemed guests" from the Yinkui Sect.

She knew these two might very well become "one of their own" to Brother Ning Chuan in the future.

Naturally, they could not be neglected.

She told Zhi Yu Yan and Wan Wan that once Brother Ning Chuan emerged from his cultivation state, he would personally receive them.

In just half a day,

Zhi Yu Yan and Wan Wan had witnessed the many wonders of Taohuadao.

Whether it was the mysterious great array that spontaneously circulated and gathered spiritual energy,

or the Taohuadao disciples whose cultivation bases had surged forward, each rivaling the top-tier martial artists of the Jianghu,

or the Taohuadao martial arts that Brother Ning Chuan had casually "improved," their power increasing manyfold,

all reinforced a single conviction in them:

For the Yinkui Sect to rise in the coming chaos, to realize their ambition of dominating the world,

their only choice was… to utterly submit to that mysterious, incomprehensible, and immensely powerful Dragon Island Master!
