Chapter 3749: Dragon Slaying Battlefield

"Then I'll be a bother!" Ye Liuyun, seeing that these people's attitude was decent and wanting to learn more about the situation here, agreed.

"No need to be polite! After we finish slaughtering this kid, you all come with me back to the Dragon Clan!" Wàn Xīnghǎi, being overly familiar, started chatting with Ye Liuyun.

The others also asked the questions they were interested in while walking.

"Are your cultivation realms all genuine?"

"You really are from the Mortal Realm?"

"How did you practice your sword intent?"

"You two are also from the Dragon Clan?"

A group of youngsters gathered, chattering all at once, each very curious about the others, and the atmosphere was pleasant.

Under Shào Dōnglái's lead, they arrived at the nearest planet, randomly chose a city and descended, finding the largest tavern in the area.

The tavern's proprietor and staff all knew Shào Dōnglái, immediately bowing and nodding, welcomed them in, and led them to a private room.

They didn't even need Shào Dōnglái to order; they began arranging for each of the tavern's signature dishes to be served, indicating that Shào Dōnglái often spent money here.

When it came to names, Ye Liuyun gave his real name. These people seemed unaware of his background, gave no reaction, and started calling each other brothers. The Clone Puppet was given a random name by Ye Liuyun, called Ye Kui.

These people were all about the same age and easy to get along with. Wàn Xīnghǎi was boisterous, Jīn Biāo and Xiāo Qíng were very talkative, Shào Dōnglái, though a bit arrogant, was also easy to communicate with. Fù Yúntáng was taciturn but still joined the conversation.

In contrast, on Ye Liuyun's side, Lei Ming was the most active, and Ye Liuyun could chat with the others. Long Nv naturally didn't like to speak, and the Nine-Head Demon Dragon was even more reticent, just devouring. The Clone Puppet, to avoid revealing its identity, spoke as little as possible, appearing rather like Chen Mo.

Overall, these people all wanted to get along harmoniously.

After Wàn Xīnghǎi had eaten almost everything, he asked about the ancient dragon pearl. Hearing Ye Liuyun say the pearl came from the northern Jiang family, he became even more certain it was what their Clan Chief was looking for.

He had previously heard that the item was with the Jiang family, but the Dragon Clan hadn't sent anyone to act. After all, the Dragon Clan doesn't have a habit of forcefully taking things. They tried to trade with the Jiang family, but were rejected.

"It's said that the item can awaken the Dragon God on the Dragon Slaying Battlefield, gathering all the Dragon Clan's lingering souls!" he told the group.

"Could you show us what that dragon pearl looks like?" Xiāo Qíng asked, curious.

Ye Liuyun didn't mind and intended to take out the ancient dragon pearl.

"Don't take it!" Wang Xinghai hurriedly stopped Ye Liuyun.

"Not here, it's too close to the Dragon Slaying Battlefield! The Dragon Soul inside the pearl might resonate with the battlefield."

Upon hearing that, Ye Liuyun refrained from taking out the pearl.

"What is the Dragon Slaying Battlefield? What's special about it?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"It's a relic of an ancient battlefield, a remnant after the Dragon Clan's great war with other races. It's on the planet ahead, a Xingkong Restricted Zone established by the Dragon Clan.

But it's been so long that the Dragon Clan doesn't guard it seriously, and Dragon Clan disciples often go there to search for treasure!"

Shào Dōnglái gave Ye Liuyun a brief explanation.

"Why don't we go treasure hunting together? I've heard from the Mercenaries that people often find valuables in the Dragon Slaying Battlefield. If you have this ancient dragon pearl, you could bring it out then, maybe give us a great opportunity?" Xiāo Qíng urged the group.

Hearing that, the others felt somewhat tempted.

"Alright, alright!" Lei Ming raised both hands in agreement.

Ye Liuyun also thought it was worth a look. However, he intended to use the ancient dragon pearl to win favor with the Dragon Clan; if it were spent, he would have to visit the Dragon Clan empty‑handed.

So a trip to the Dragon Slaying Battlefield was fine, but whether it could be used, or not, would depend on the circumstances.

"That won't do; if this ancient dragon pearl can truly summon the Dragon God, and we have no strong allies nearby, we might be directly wiped out!"

"—directly annihilated!" Wàn Xīnghǎi hurriedly intervened.

"Isn't the Dragon God your ancestor? How could it wipe out you juniors?" Jīn Biāo asked, puzzled.

"There's no guarantee; who knows what his temper is like!" Wàn Xīnghǎi, who understood, replied, noting that not all ancestor dragons care about their descendants' lives.

However, Shào Dōnglái knew Wàn Xīnghǎi very well.

He said directly to Wàn Xīnghǎi: "Looking at your cowardly face, no wonder you're a big reptile! Knowing you stingy fool wants to take the dragon pearl back, we never said we had to use it. It's not like there are many people; our strengths are similar, perfect to team up and explore. Since you're heading back anyway, it's on the way. You're not so spineless as to lack the courage to at least take a look, are you?"

Wàn Xīnghǎi indeed fell for it, getting provoked by Shào Dōnglái, but he still kept his wits.

"If we go, we'll go; if you die, I won't die either!"

"But that ancient dragon pearl is of great significance to the Dragon Clan; none of you may lay claim to it. It must not be taken out for use then!"

After speaking, Wàn Xīnghǎi looked at Ye Liuyun, seeking his guarantee.

"Fine!" Ye Liuyun also agreed.

He thought that if it were just the Dragon Soul, he had the Ten Thousand Gods Command, so there'd be no worry.

However, he still asked Wàn Xīnghǎi: "How exactly is the ancient dragon pearl used? Is it a one‑time use, or can it be used multiple times?"

Wàn Xīnghǎi scratched his head and told Ye Liuyun: "I don't know what that thing is or how many times it can be used. But to be safe, we should show it to the Clan Chief first. If it can only be used once, the Clan Chief would know I used it and might skin me alive!"

Ye Liuyun nodded, accepting Wang Xinghai's suggestion. Unless absolutely necessary, he would not use the ancient dragon pearl.

The others didn't mind not having to use the ancient dragon pearl, merely believing that a expedition team composed of the strongest among them would surely reap many rewards.

Xiāo Qíng also shared many rumors she'd heard from the Mercenaries. According to her, even though it's just a relic of an ancient battlefield, it remains full of dangers.

Especially after powerful cultivators fell in battle, their weapons might, after long exposure, develop spirit cores; combined with the battlefield's heavy blood‑killing aura and lingering resentment, they could evolve into all sorts of strange things that threaten human lives.

For example, there are legends of battle soldiers that chase people to slash, and Yin Souls that devour a person's Soul or possess them.

Previously, some Mercenaries had secretly gone treasure hunting; despite a high casualty rate, they often managed to find artifacts or weapons once used by powerful cultivators, or even dragon bodies and other resources, yielding substantial gains.

Lei Ming, after hearing this, thought the trip would yield little. After all, so many had gone before, and any good items had already been looted.

"It's been so many years; how much could possibly remain?"

"Actually, it's not like that; it's said the entire planet was once a battlefield, and those who have entered have only explored a tiny fraction."

Moreover, the two sides' blockade of the Xingkong Restricted Zone had been fairly tight before; only in recent years has it gradually relaxed, so not many have truly entered," Fù Yúntáng explained to the group.
