Chapter 94: Great Tang Dragon-Slaying Warrior, the Number One Sprayer

"Sinful Dragon?"

When Daolei uttered these two words, both Li Bai and Ye Suifeng revealed looks of shock.

Dragons were ancient existences that had existed since time immemorial; they summoned clouds and rain, rode the mists, and in the eyes of mortals, they were gods who required worship.

Adding the word "sinful" before "dragon" was an ominous sign.

Xuanzang was lost in thought; mentioning a sinful dragon reminded him of a formidable figure in the Great Tang: Wei Zheng.

Although Wei Zheng was a mortal, he was an admonishing official under Li Er, and he would basically spray Li Er with criticism every time they held court, confronting him in all sorts of ways without even giving the Emperor any face.

This was a world with a mythological background, so naturally, Wei Zheng was not simple; he seemed capable of reaching the ears of Heaven.

The "ears of Heaven" here did not refer to the Son of Heaven, but to the Heavenly Court, communicating with gods and immortals.

Therefore, Wei Zheng was also tough-minded; he gave no face to the Jing River Dragon King at all and simply chopped him down with one blade.

"Brother Daolei, what exactly is going on?" Ye Suifeng's interest was piqued, and he pressed for an answer.

"Indeed," Li Bai echoed.

Daolei observed Xuanzang's expression, not expecting the other party to appear so calm.

Thus, he said: "The sinful dragon refers to the Jing River, the river that protects Chang'an City. That Jing River Dragon King fell short by a few fractions of an inch in the rainfall some time ago, violating the Heavenly Law, and was executed by Wei Zheng."

"Wei Zheng, it's actually that old official." Ye Suifeng revealed a look of trepidation.

He was a scion of a noble clan, and although his connections were deep, his father did not dare to provoke Wei Zheng.

He was afraid that this "sprayer" Wei Zheng would spew fragrant insults in front of all the civil and military officials.

"A mortal can actually execute a Dragon King?" Li Bai asked in confusion, finding it unbelievable.

Daolei shook his head and said: "Although the Jing River Dragon King was a Dragon King, he was only a minor god who lived off incense offerings, not of the same level as the Four Seas Dragon Kings. Such minor gods are scattered all over the lands of the Human Race."

"That is still an immortal!" Ye Suifeng said.

"There is still a difference between gods and immortals," Xuanzang said.

"Xuanzang Sheng Seng, it seems you know something about this?" Daolei said.

Xuanzang shook his head: "Not much, just a little, not worth mentioning."

He did not explain, nor was there any need to.

Gods include Innate gods and Postnatal gods; Postnatal gods generally cultivate through incense offerings, and their strength is not very high.

Furthermore, the Dragon Clan possesses the divine artifact Dragon Gate; any aquatic creature from the four seas that leaps over the Dragon Gate can obtain the Dragon Clan bloodline and transform into a Dragon.

The Jing River Dragon King was perhaps such a creature, not belonging to the pure-blooded Dragon Clan, with a thin bloodline.

If he were truly of the direct Dragon Clan lineage, it would have been impossible for him to be executed by a mortal.

Although the Dragon Clan is in decline, it is, after all, an old-fashioned ancient race, and it still possesses a foundation.

Seeing that Xuanzang did not say anything more, Daolei did not take it to heart.

"So, Brother Daolei, you intend to tear down the imperial notice and go to the Imperial Palace," Ye Suifeng said.

"Yes," Daolei nodded.

"Brother Daolei, I see you have magic power, but a sinful dragon is a minor god after all, and you are still a mortal; can you handle it?" Xuanzang said.

Although this Daolei was young, his cultivation was already at the perfection of Refining Qi and Transforming Spirit, far above Xiaobai and Xiaoqing.

Placed among the Human Race, he could be considered a minor expert!

But the opponent was the vengeful spirit of the Jing River Dragon King, which likely would not be so easy to deal with.

"No matter, my Celestial Master Mansion exists for this very reason; furthermore, I have a sect dharma treasure that specifically counters vengeful spirits," Daolei said confidently.

"Xuanzang Sheng Seng, are you interested? Actually, we could cooperate."

Daolei could tell that Xuanzang was no mortal, so he had been paying attention to him and now extended a special invitation.

"Very well, sending the vengeful spirit of the Jing River Dragon King to the west is also a deed of Merit. Good," Xuanzang smiled.

"Ding, triggered the 'Do One Good Deed a Day' mission: head to the Imperial Palace to deliver the soul of the Jing River Dragon King's vengeful spirit. Upon mission completion, receive a random reward."

At this moment, the voice of the Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence System rang in Xuanzang's ears.

"Do One Good Deed a Day" was basically triggered randomly; there was no compulsion, it was a task left to fate.

It had triggered before at the Jiaofangsi, but Xuanzang had ignored it.

That mission was also bizarre, asking him to make the girls of the Jiaofangsi turn over a new leaf.

Was that reasonable?

If they turned over a new leaf, what would he watch, and who would play music for him every day?

Conversely, he was interested in the mission regarding the Jing River Dragon King.

"Brother Daolei, although I, Li Taibai, am not a cultivator, I do possess martial arts skills; perhaps I can help," Li Bai said.

He also wanted to participate in this matter, not for the reward of the imperial notice, but simply because he wanted to taste what the old Emperor's wine tasted like.

"That's fine; in any case, this imperial notice is a broad recruitment for capable people and strangers, and it doesn't limit the number of people. It's no problem for us to go together," Daolei said.

Li Bai was overjoyed upon hearing this!

Ye Suifeng, however, hurriedly asked: "You are all going, what about me?"

"Brother Suifeng, you wait outside the palace," Li Bai laughed.

"The sinful dragon is a malevolent object; if a mortal sees it, their lifespan will be shortened," Xuanzang reminded him.

"..." Ye Suifeng.

Although he really wanted to join in the fun, compared to his life, it was better not to join in.

"Then I will wait for you outside the palace. I wish you a triumphant return and a successful start," Ye Suifeng said.

"Haha, Brother Suifeng, I'll take your kind words," Li Bai laughed, feeling quite pleased.

Immediately, Daolei tore down the imperial notice, and the group set off together toward the Imperial Palace.

It was currently evening, and the sky was slowly growing dark.

Outside the palace gate, were Daolei, Xuanzang, Li Bai, and Ye Suifeng stopped by the palace eunuchs?

Daolei took out the imperial edict, and the gatekeeper eunuch Xiaoliu hurriedly took the imperial edict and ran into the palace.

The few of them stood outside the palace!

"As expected of the Great Tang Imperial Palace, it is so magnificent and grand, resplendent in gold and jade!" Li Bai exclaimed, picking up his wine gourd to take a wild gulp, his face immediately turning red.

"The Great Tang is prosperous now, and as the place where the Qi Luck of the world gathers, it is naturally extraordinary," Daolei said.

As a practitioner of Taoism, Looking at Qi is the most basic ability.

He could see that in this Chang'an Imperial Palace, the Dragon Qi had almost condensed into substance, lingering without end.

It is a pity that an evil Dragon is coiled around it; if the evil Dragon is not resolved, Li Er might die prematurely and not live for another half a year.

The number of days is fixed; Li Er should not pass away at this time, which is also the reason he came to Chang'an City.

"Although I don't quite understand, it sounds impressive," Ye Suifeng said, giving a thumbs up.

Not long after, an elderly eunuch with a rather stout build walked over quickly, his expression serious.

Upon seeing Daolei, Xuanzang, and Li Bai, the old eunuch immediately felt that the three were not ordinary people, as their temperaments were outstanding.

Especially Xuanzang and Daolei, whose temperaments were far beyond what ordinary mortals could compare to, as if they carried their own holy light, standing there as the center of attention.

The old eunuch had lived for many years and had seen all kinds of people while following the Emperor, so his judgment was naturally very accurate!

"My surname is Zhen, and my given name is Youcai. I am the Emperor's personal chief steward; you may call me Eunuch Zhen."

The old eunuch said warmly, showing none of that snobbish behavior.

Xuanzang, Daolei, and Li Bai bowed slightly.

Following a conversation, Zhen Youcai also learned the identities of the three.

Hearing of Daolei's identity from the Celestial Master Mansion, Eunuch Zhen's eyes lit up.

Those who come out of the Celestial Master Mansion are all very formidable experts; for many years, news of the Celestial Master Mansion subduing demons and devils has often spread among the people.

And although Xuanzang said he had no sect, Eunuch Zhen did not slight him either.

Only Li Bai's behavior as a drunkard made Eunuch Zhen frown; could this person be here just to sponge off food and drink?

"The three of you, please come with me."

Eunuch Zhen made way and led the three into the Imperial Palace.

Ye Suifeng watched longingly, secretly thinking that he lacked a specialized skill.

"Brother Taibai, Brother Daolei, Holy Monk Xuanzang, please don't let anything go wrong," Ye Suifeng thought to himself, praying for his three friends.

The Imperial Palace was extremely prosperous, with majestic palaces standing one after another; everywhere there were pavilions and towers, rockeries and lakes, and the passing palace maids were also graceful and charming, like flower buds waiting to bloom.

"Enjoying happiness alone is not as good as enjoying it with everyone!"

Xuanzang decided to open a Live Broadcast Room to let the group members come in and take a look at the prosperous Great Tang.
