Chapter 456

But it seemed even more monstrous by far.

A mere Fourth Dragon Head, suddenly this monstrous?

Then what about the Great Dragon Head?

That was the first question that flashed through most people's minds.

"Forget it, forget it…"

Tie Muzhen felt a headache coming on. He had not expected that, failing to take the Great Ming, he had provoked the Fourth Dragon Head and let him know just how monstrous he was.

"Still, it's a good thing — another trump card of the Qinglong Society has been exposed…"

Yelu Chu said consolingly.

"Trump card, trump card — is this really a trump card?"

That thought flashed unbidden through everyone's mind.

At first, when the Twelve Month Hall Masters were exposed and everyone learned the Qinglong Society had three hundred and sixty-five branch altars, they all assumed that was the Qinglong Society's trump card.

Turns out it wasn't!

The Qinglong Society produced the Twenty-Four Solar Terms, whose hearts were linked and whose formations were astonishing!

By the time people assumed the Twenty-Four Solar Terms were the trump card—

Turns out they weren't either!

The Qinglong Society still had the Four Seasons Protectors — four beauties, supreme experts!

By the time people assumed the Four Seasons Protectors were the trump card—

Senior Xiaoyaozi appeared and told you all you were wrong again.

Before long, I can leap three whole realms from late-stage Heavenly Being straight to mid Mythical Realm.

And that's not all — I still have the War God Hall in hand, plus a black dragon the likes of which has never been seen.

So, is this the Qinglong Society's trump card?

Pull the other one!

Setting aside distant matters, on Mount Wudang, Li Taibai, who slew a thousand martial artists with a single sword — does he count as a trump card or not?

Beyond those two, there are still the Great Dragon Head and the other five Dragon Heads!

Are their strengths also advancing by leaps and bounds!

Everything — utterly unknown!

"No good. The Qinglong Society's strength is too terrifying, and it's growing too fast."

"Prime Minister Yelu, the plan must be sped up, or we'll really be in serious trouble."

Tie Muzhen thought of all this and felt his head was about to explode, rubbing his temples ceaselessly.

"Great Khan, there is actually one more method, but this method is far too forbidden…"

At this moment, Monk Huanxi spoke up to offer a suggestion.

"You mean…"

Tie Muzhen's face changed drastically, turning extremely ugly in an instant,

"This… let me think it over…"

"Alright…"

The great hall fell silent.

……

The second to receive the news was, naturally, the Zhoutianxia Society of Yunzhou.

"There really are dragons…"

Xiongba listened to the report and felt his brain wasn't enough to handle it — this was too great a leap for the imagination.

"Idiot!"

"Have you forgotten the Fire Qilin of Lingyun Cave?"

The Purple-Clad Elder looked at his son with contempt,

"Legend has it Yunzhou has four great divine beasts — dragon, phoenix, qilin, and turtle!"

"The four great divine beasts were all born from the essence of heaven and earth, their bodies brimming with treasures."

"Among them, their essence blood can grant immortality!"

"Huh? Immortality? Old man, you'd better not be joking!"

For all tyrants, the most important thing, what they care about most, is power; next comes life itself.

Xiongba's cultivation was extraordinarily high, so naturally he wouldn't be troubled by lifespan for a while yet.

But if he could achieve immortality — wouldn't that be wonderful?

"Why would I lie to you?"

The Purple-Clad Elder narrowed his eyes, speaking as he pondered,

"Legend has it the turtle, the Black Tortoise, was the first to be slain — roughly three thousand years ago — giving rise to one of the Twelve Terrors."

"As for the phoenix, it too was killed a thousand years ago by Xu Fu, who refined it into an Elixir of Immortality."

"Later, that man wandered the mortal world and has lived all the way to the present day."

"Really?"

Xiongba's interest was piqued. To live three thousand years — with his own talent, so long as he kept his head down, he'd be invincible, wouldn't he!

What Mexi Sect Wudi, what three great dynasties — could they still stand in his way then?

"Would I lie to you?"

The Purple-Clad Elder shot his son a fierce glare.

"Of course, you wouldn't lie to me…"

Xiongba nodded, rubbing his chin,

"By what you're saying, the Four Divine Beasts, and also the dragon and the Fire Qilin."

"But the Fire Qilin's essence blood clearly has no special quality at all — it can only drive a person mad and demonic!"

He had seen the Fire Qilin before, and he also knew of the Nie family's Mad-Demon Blood.

"Well…"

The purple-robed boss was rather embarrassed; these legends he had only heard of in passing,

"Actually, your father isn't very clear on it either…"

"…"

Xiongba was speechless for a moment,

"Fine then! Looks like it may not be reliable after all."

"But still! We could consider tracking down that remaining dragon."

"The Fire Qilin's essence blood being useless doesn't mean that dragon's is useless too."

"What's more, there's still the Black Dragon in Senior Xiaoyaozi's hands."

The purple-robed boss's eyes lit up,

"You mean?"

"Exactly!"

Xiongba stroked his beard and smiled,

"We just need to spread the legend you mentioned."

"We can even embellish it a bit."

"Just say the dragon's whole body is a treasure — its scales can be forged into divine weapons, at the very least immortal-grade."

"Dragon meat can improve one's root bone and comprehension."

"Dragon essence blood, besides granting immortality, can even let one reach the Shattered Realm."

"When the time comes, Senior Xiaoyaozi and the Qinglong Society will naturally have a hard time of it."

"You little punk are really devious…"

The purple-robed boss couldn't help but give a thumbs-up.

……

Yunzhou, You Dongying, the Xuanhua.

"Who would have thought — Jue Wushen was taken out in one move by Li Taibai, and now his senior brother Quan Daoshen has also been taken out in one move by Senior Xiaoyaozi."

"This really is a disgrace to our You Dongying!"
