Chapter 962: Poisoning the Magic Dragon

The flower spirit explained to Ye Liuyun, "Why would I deceive you! If you wake them, you'll only disturb their cultivation. If they don't wake up on their own, their cultivation results will be far poorer, and their minds won't be sturdy enough later."

"Is that even possible?" Ye Liuyun was a bit stunned.

The flower spirit gave him a simple example and made it clear, "If you dream that Lei Ming kills you, after you wake up, would you blame her?"

"Uh…" Ye Liuyun suddenly understood.

"Exactly! How could I blame Lei Ming because of a dream!"

"Then… should I send them back?" Ye Liuyun asked the flower spirit tentatively.

"Hmm, it's best they wake themselves. Don't worry, they'll wake after a while."

The flower spirit also pointed at Lei Ming and said, "That girl won't be out for five days; she'll definitely wake! The other two aren't much different!"

Ye Liuyun thought it over, decided to trust the flower spirit, and transferred the three out of the Space World, sending them back.

Afterwards, he began searching for Qiong Qi and Long Nv.

Not long after, Ye Liuyun found the two again.

However, both were in poor condition, injured all over. Clearly they had fought someone before falling asleep.

Especially Long Nv, who was wounded by a Demon Beast; the Demon Qi on her body was still spreading slowly.

As soon as Ye Liuyun approached, Qiong Qi woke up.

"Hey, why are you here, kid?"

Qiong Qi's waking actually gave Ye Liuyun a start.

"How did you wake? Did I wake you?" Ye Liuyun asked aloud.

"Hah, a tiny dream can trouble me?" Qiong Qi sneered, "I just think this place is clean, so I hide here to cultivate!"

Ye Liuyun instantly glanced at the monster beasts near Qiong Qi and found that, except for Long Nv, the storage spaces of the other beasts had vanished.

He immediately understood: it must be Qiong Qi taking advantage of others sleeping to use their resources for cultivation.

Qiong Qi noticed Ye Liuyun's gaze, let out two dry laughs, then pointed at Long Nv and said, "Your woman's stuff, I didn't touch!"

Ye Liuyun gave him a glare, then immediately began treating Long Nv's wounds, siphoning away all the Demon Qi from her body, and then applied healing ointment.

"How did she get these injuries?" Ye Liuyun asked Qiong Qi.

"Here!" Ye Liuyun pursed his lips toward a direction.

Ye Liuyun looked and saw a magic dragon coiled on a mountain, sleeping.

"Did it do that?" Ye Liuyun narrowed his eyes, began assessing the magic dragon. Its Sixfold Creation realm was far higher than Long Nv's.

"Exactly! It set its sights on your Long Nv, followed into the Secret Realm, wanted to force itself on her. Too bad, she fell asleep!" Qiong Qi said boisterously.

"Can I slay it?" Ye Liuyun asked Qiong Qi.

If it dared to bully Long Nv, Ye Liuyun wouldn't let it go.

"Anyway I can't slay it, you can give it a try!" Qiong Qi shrugged.

It seemed to mean that Ye Liuyun couldn't kill it.

Ye Liuyun, not believing in fate, immediately launched a Spiritual Soul Attack.

As a result, his Soul was rebounded by a Defense Artifact.

He then produced the Foreign Tribe Divine Bow he had just obtained, infused it with Buddha Light Power, shot an arrow, but it was blocked by the artifact on the magic dragon's body.

"Whoa?"

Ye Liuyun grew curious; the Defense Artifact on the magic dragon was indeed remarkable.

If it were awake, it would be almost invincible!

No wonder Long Nv, even with a divine weapon, can't beat it.

"I've already tried, it's useless!" Qiong Qi pursed his lips, a bit helpless.

Ye Liuyun immediately waved the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner, releasing the blood-colored bat and that Divine Rank Sixth Layer Soul. Yet even together they couldn't penetrate the magic dragon's Sea of Consciousness.

"We can only pry a tiny gap; we can't get in at all!" Qiong Qi told Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun nodded, pondering what other attacks he had.

He called the Magic Vine, but nothing happened.

Afterwards, he thought of the Sealing Demon Tablet.

He sent the Sealing Demon Tablet to absorb the magic dragon's power. But the tablet could only suppress the dragon, not absorb any energy.

"What kind of Defense Artifact is this, so strong?" Ye Liuyun was also a bit helpless!

"It must be Divine Rank!" Qiong Qi guessed.

Ye Liuyun thought again, then took out a pitch‑black pill, looking at Qiong Qi as if asking.

This pill was a poison pill refined by the Ten Thousand Gods Command, specifically toxic to souls.

Qiong Qi had just said they could only pry a single gap in the Sea of Consciousness, prompting Ye Liuyun to consider using poison.

Qiong Qi looked at the pill, eyes lit up, then smiled oddly: "Kid, you're ruthless! This should work, and we don't need much! Let me handle it, you watch."

While speaking, he took out a small knife, sliced the pill in half, gave one half to Ye Liuyun to keep, cut a little off the other half, and kept the rest.

Ye Liuyun's eyes widened!

"You're plucking it like a goose pulling feathers! You want a bit of everything!"

"Don't be so stingy! I'm keeping it for self‑defense!" Qiong Qi laughed.

Since it's all stored, I'm not afraid Ye Liuyun will go back for it. Even if he does, I won't give it back.

"That's enough!" Qiong Qi laughed: "We agreed, after we get it, the defensive artifact can be yours, but the scale armor, Physical Body, and Storage Ring are mine!"

"No problem!" Ye Liuyun gladly agreed.

"Let those two Yin Souls help!" Qiong Qi called, then released his own Soul, wrapping the bit of poison pill with True Essence, sending it toward the magic dragon's Sea of Consciousness.

Ye Liuyun also immediately let the blood-colored bat and that Divine Rank Yin Soul act, prying the magic dragon's Soul Defense Treasure.

As soon as he pried it open a little, Qiong Qi swiftly tossed the poison inside.

"All set!"

Qiong Qi said, clapped his hands, crossed his arms, stood beside Ye Liuyun, and waited with him to watch the show.

"Are you sure that little bit is enough?" Ye Liuyun looked, saw no movement, and couldn't help asking.

But before he finished speaking, before Qiong Qi could reply, black smoke burst from inside the magic dragon's Sea of Consciousness.

After a moment, the demonic aura on the magic dragon began to gradually dissipate.

"This poison pill is so potent!"

Ye Liuyun was also somewhat surprised. In such a short time, the magic dragon was already dead, its demonic aura gone.

"What are you standing there for! Go collect the treasure!" Qiong Qi called out, and had Ye Liuyun go first to collect the treasure.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil had long noticed that the treasure was a bell hanging behind the magic dragon's horn.
