Chapter 554

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhongming became even more delighted, eager to rush over and pay his respects at once.

And at this moment, compared to Jiang Zhongming, who possessed Jiang family bloodline.

The Black-White Master, trailing closely behind Jiang Xiaobai's heels, was undoubtedly far more uneasy.

Especially when he imagined that he would soon meet the being suspected to tower above all phenomena.

The Black-White Master felt his limbs growing weak and his throat dry.

It wasn't that he was cowardly; he simply had never in his life encountered such a powerful existence!

Then, as the Shanmen of Cangwu Mountain drew nearer, less than thirty meters away.

The Black-White Master suddenly halted, his dog eyes shrinking, his whole body trembling with utter terror!

As the spirit of the Heaven Demon Sword, his form was uniquely special, his perception acutely sharp—naturally incomparable to ordinary humans!

That was why he could sense the terrifying presence hidden within Cangwu Mountain!

That was... the Array Spirit?

The Black-White Master was terrified beyond measure.

He had never imagined that before even approaching Cangwu Mountain, he would encounter such a terrifying thing!

There, he sensed an overwhelming force, brimming with an irresistible, world-annihilating horror!

What realm had this Array Spirit reached?

At this moment, though the Black-White Master's dog brain had frozen, unable to fathom the realm of this Array Spirit.

But he was utterly clear about one thing.

Before such an existence, even the mighty Heaven Demon Ancestor, in his prime, was as weak as an ant!

The gap between them was like heaven and earth, cloud and mud—there was no comparison whatsoever!

At this moment, noticing the Black-White Master had stopped.

Jiang Zhongming beside him felt something odd.

He immediately asked: "What's wrong?"

The Black-White Master snapped back to his senses.

He did not answer right away, but cautiously glanced at Jiang Xiaobai.

Seeing the other's half-smiling, half-sardonic expression, he was instantly terrified, his fur standing on end; he dared not speak more, only frantically shook his head and stammered: "N-nothing."

Seeing this, Jiang Zhongming grew even more puzzled, utterly baffled.

But Wang Tong, witnessing the Black-White Master's near-paralyzed state of terror,

suddenly raised an eyebrow and recalled something.

He remembered that several days ago, when he had tried to forcibly enter Cangwu Mountain, he had felt a powerful sense of death.

One more step forward, and he would surely die!

Could it be that the Black-White Master had also sensed the anomaly?

As the group fell into stunned uncertainty,

Jiang Xiaobai had no interest in explaining; he immediately prepared to summon everyone to continue ascending the mountain, striving to meet his master as soon as possible.

Yet before he could speak,

he suddenly sensed something, let out a soft "Hmm?", and looked up the mountain.

There, a burly young man clad in battle armor was approaching head-on.

Jiang Xiaobai's gaze flickered slightly.

Through his powerful perception, he detected an extremely strong aura on this man—even surpassing Wang Tong's!

Realizing this, Jiang Xiaobai's face immediately showed interest, murmuring: "Wanxiang?"

Meanwhile,

Zhang Long, who had been descending the mountain, also sensed Jiang Xiaobai's presence.

The two exchanged a single glance.

Just one look.

He recognized from the faint pressure radiating from the other that this person, like himself, was a Wanxiang True Lord!

As Zhang Long was still guessing the other's identity,

observing Jiang Xiaobai's attire and appearance,

he suddenly had a flash of insight.

Wait—wearing a black robe, childlike appearance, possessing Wanxiang-level cultivation base...

Zhang Long suddenly recalled that not long ago, the Lord of Yanling Prefecture, Gu Zheng, had been severely wounded in one blow by a child on Cangwu Mountain.

So this person must be the mysterious Wanxiang of the Cangwu Jiang family?

Zhang Long's heart tightened.

Immediately, he prepared to calm his mind, ignore these people, and hurry away from this place.

But just then, something unexpected happened.

Deep within Zhang Long's heart, a sudden stirring arose.

This stirring came from his bloodline.

Hmm, what is this aura?

Zhang Long unconsciously slowed his pace, his expression growing increasingly strange.

This aura was extremely faint; if anyone else sensed it, they would detect not the slightest anomaly.

Unless he deliberately revealed it, even other Wanxiang cultivators might not notice it!

Only he, possessing the Dragon King Body, with his subdragon bloodline, could detect these subtle irregularities.

That was a qi unique to..... a true dragon!

Realizing this, Zhang Long's eyes lit up, overjoyed.

He had never imagined that today he would actually run into a true dragon at the Jiang clan of Cangwu!

At this moment, deep within Zhang Long's eyes, an intense longing could not help but well up!

One should know that over these past several hundred years, he had searched for and inquired about the whereabouts of a true dragon many times.

All for the sake of using a true dragon's blood to bathe in, thereby allowing himself to advance to the Dragon Emperor Body, becoming the undisputed strongest prodigy of these Nine Kingdoms!

However, how terribly difficult was it to find the traces of a true dragon?

Even after searching for several hundred years, there was still no result.

He had originally thought he might never find one in this lifetime.

He never expected that today he would actually encounter a fateful opportunity at the Jiang clan of Cangwu!

At this moment, he was immensely grateful that his Master had told him to come over.

If he hadn't come, wouldn't he have missed this fateful opportunity?

While Zhang Long's heart burned with passion.

He still kept a sliver of reason.

He slightly turned his head, looking through the Shanmen toward the place where the Jiang clan head was.

With this unimaginably powerful supreme being presiding over the place, any of his little schemes could only remain thoughts.

However, even if he could not obtain the true dragon's blood from the other party, merely knowing the other party's location was already a tremendous surprise, and for him, a ray of hope's dawn!

Afterward, so as not to disrupt his Master's arrangements and plans, and to avoid a clash between the two forces.

Zhang Long could only silently withdraw his gaze, walking past the people around him, afraid of revealing any flaw and causing a misunderstanding.

After completely leaving Cangwu Mountain, he fled into the horizon.

He slowly turned his head, taking one last look at Cangwu Mountain, which was about to vanish from his sight.

"The true dragon's opportunity is here; I will definitely come back in the future....."

The true dragon's opportunity could not be lost; naturally, he would not give it up.

However, influenced by the Jiang clan of Cangwu's current might, he could only set these thoughts aside for now, preparing to head to Wudan City to meet that City Lord Ding Xuan.

Relying on his formidable cultivation base.

In no time, he descended above Wudan City.

Then, he swept through with the power of his spiritual sense.

In just an instant, he locked onto the city's only Purple Mansion cultivator.

Possessing Purple Mansion realm cultivation base, and his appearance roughly matched the description in the intelligence.

Presumably, this person was City Lord Ding, wasn't he?
