I don't know what to think.
"This time, Dragon's Roar Cave must not fall into the hands of the Azure Dragon Society again."
Zhao Gao, having discerned the emperor's intentions, hurriedly offered his advice.
"Ha, you think you can seize Dragon's Roar Cave?"
Ying Zheng scoffed,
"Moreover, the Ice Emperor ranks twenty-sixth on the list of strongest individuals, and the key is in his hands."
"Do you think you and the net can be taken away by me?"
Zhao Gao was speechless.
"Fine, if Dragon's Roar Cave is indeed one of the grotto heavens, we shall find a way to obtain it."
Ying Zheng was too lazy to pay him any more attention.
However, forcibly seizing it is probably not the best strategy.
"Now that we are in the western region of Yunzhou, we can send someone to Baijian Manor to pay a visit to Ao Jue."
"Instigated him to compete with the Ice Emperor for the key."
“He promised him: if he obtained the Dragon's Roar Cave, he would give him several demonic weapons.”
The Heavenly Path Golden List once mentioned what Ao Jue sought, and this is precisely what can be used to achieve this.
Demonic weapons and evil creatures from all over the world gathered together and forged a vicious blade called the "Decisive Sword".
Although Ying Zheng did not know the origin of the sword, he was well aware of the greed in people's hearts. Since Ao Jue craved these evil things, what harm was there in giving him a little?
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
The courtiers immediately praised him in unison.
Qinglong Mountain Villa stands atop Qinglong Peak.
Ximen Yu's earth-shattering sword strike brought peace to the land.
The Han Dynasty, which was on the verge of internal strife, has now fallen into silence. Zhang Jiao and his followers have reappeared and disappeared again, and the Yellow Turban Army has vanished like a phantom.
With the pressure on the Azure Dragon Society greatly reduced, its scattered members returned one after another.
"Even though the Great Dragon Head is in the Sword Realm, he still knows about this place."
Exhausted from days of fighting, Zhang Sanfeng finally caught his breath. Witnessing that sword strike, he was both delighted and filled with admiration.
"Sometimes I really wonder if the Great Dragon Head is even a mortal anymore," Xiaoyaozi said with a smile.
Chapter 165 Xiaolongyin Cave
All the people of Kyushu were discussing what kind of existence Ximen Yu really was, and unexpectedly, Xiaoyaozi shared the same sentiment.
"The path of martial arts is boundless, and the Great Dragon Head has shown us the way forward."
Di Shitian, as a servant, stood respectfully. Ximen Yu's sword strike made him fully realize the gap between them.
He secretly rejoiced that he had submitted, otherwise he would have been dead long ago. Submitting to the Great Dragon Leader was indeed a wise move.
In his younger days, he founded the Heavenly Gate, proclaimed himself a god, and roamed the mortal world. He had been a martial arts leader, an emperor, and a beggar, and was obsessed with collecting all the martial arts techniques in the world.
If there is no entertainment in the long years, then life is meaningless.
Now, separated from Ximen Yu by the Sword Realm, he suddenly realized that his path in martial arts had only just begun. A thousand years had passed in vain.
"That's true..."
Xiaoyaozi, Zhang Sanfeng, and the Water God all nodded in agreement.
"Don't rush to express your feelings, let's get down to business."
Among the messages on the Heavenly Path Golden List, one was closely related to the Azure Dragon Society. As the acting head of the society, Xiaoyaozi naturally prioritized this important matter.
"On the third day of the third lunar month, will February be possible?"
"Your subordinate is here."
The Ice Emperor, who was waiting outside the palace, and a refined scholar entered in response.
"In February, do you know the origin of Dragon's Roar Cave?"
"On the third day of the third month, present the Dragon's Roar Cave key you obtained."
As the head of the four dragons, Xiaoyaozi would normally disdain accepting rewards from his subordinates, but this Dragon Roar Cave seems to hold hidden secrets.
In February, having made preparations, she unfolded the dossier and began to recount her story. During the narration, the Ice Emperor readily presented the key. This key, though called a key, was indeed a giant key crafted from a special material—neither gold nor iron. When Xiaoyaozi and the others poured their true energy into it to test it, this strange key absorbed all the true energy without moving an inch.
"This is indeed strange. It seems that Dragon's Roar Cave is no ordinary place."
The four dragon heads exchanged glances, each reading the same meaning in the other's eyes. After verification, the key was quickly returned to its rightful owner.
The intelligence from February was largely the same as that from the Qin Dynasty, except that it mentioned at the end: "It is said that a foreign tribe called Chamu has been guarding the area near the Dragon's Roar Cave for generations."
Despite their extensive knowledge, the four had never heard of this peculiar tribe name before.
"Based on the characteristics of the key and intelligence, this cave should be one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves. If the Great Dragon Head is here, he will definitely send someone to seize it." Xiaoyaozi pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to Di Shitian. "Xu Fu, although you have not yet officially joined the society, the key has been bestowed upon your disciple, Ice Emperor, and the Dragon Roar Cave is located in the western region of Yunzhou..."
"The four dragon heads need not say more." Emperor Shitian understood. "This matter will be handled by me and the Ice Emperor. We will surely seize the Dragon Roar Cave for our master."
The Temple of War is led by Xiaoyaozi and Li Taibai, with Di Shitian only providing assistance.
The Dragon's Roar Cave mission was entirely overseen by Indra.
The location was Yunzhou, which was within his sphere of influence!
If it is completed smoothly, we await Ximen Yu's return.
You will surely receive a great reward!
Therefore, Emperor Shitian decided to mobilize all the power of the Heavenly Gate of Yunzhou to ensure the success of the mission.
"Very well, then I'll leave it to you."
Xiaoyaozi said no more, and instead asked Eryue:
"How's the situation at Wulongshou in February?"
After the Wudang Mountain incident, Li Bai followed Chi Meng of Miao territory southward.
Although the Qinglong Society has fewer informants in Miao territory than in the Central Plains, it was already actively making deployments in February.
"The Five Dragon Heads have entered the Ten Thousand Mountains and are expected to reach the central area of Miao territory in about half a month."
At this point, February showed a helpless expression.
"Oh? Why are you moving so slowly?"
With Li Bai's abilities, he could traverse the Ten Thousand Mountains and make a round trip in a single day at most.
Now, after nearly a month, are we still wandering in the mountains?
"I truly cannot fathom the intentions of the Five Dragon Heads."
February shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Xiaoyaozi immediately understood Li Bai's thoughts.
Xiaoyaozi had once caught a fleeting glimpse of Chi Meng's beauty and temperament.
Given Li Bai's penchant for showing off and his fondness for beautiful women.
At this moment, a man and a woman traveling alone would naturally not let this opportunity pass them by.
It's understandable that progress is slow.
"Never mind, let him be."
Xiaoyaozi couldn't help but smile, thinking how wonderful it would be if he could be as carefree as Li Bai!
"You only need to send someone to follow them secretly. If there is any unusual activity or if assistance is needed, report it immediately."
In February, he clasped his hands in agreement.
"Four dragon heads! Requesting an audience on the second day of the second month."
Qiao Feng's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
As the person who experienced Ximen Yu's sword strike from beyond the heavens at the closest distance...
This sword strike was unleashed by Ximen Yu, who broke through the sword barrier to save him.
In addition, Qiao Feng's mission on this trip is itself intriguing.
Upon hearing of Qiao Feng's arrival, Xiaoyaozi announced loudly:
"Master Qiao, please come in quickly."
Qiao Feng led Li Qinglu into the hall, holding a bronze box in his hands, exuding an air of grandeur.
"On the second day of the second lunar month, we pay our respects to the Fourth and Seventh Dragon Heads, and the Master of the Second Month Hall!"
Among those in the hall whose status was higher than Qiao Feng, only Xiaoyaozi, Zhang Sanfeng, and Eryue were superior.
Despite their profound cultivation, Indra and the Water God Ancestor have not yet obtained their respective positions.
The Ice Emperor commands a branch altar, holding a position equal to that of Qiao Feng.
"Master Qiao has worked hard this time."
Ximen Yu's willingness to unleash a sword strike from beyond the heavens demonstrates the perilous situation Qiao Feng was in at the time.
Xiaoyaozi took out a pill and handed it to Qiao Feng:
"This is an Enlightenment Pill, offered as payment for the task."
"Your subordinate..."
Qiao Feng was about to decline,
"The four dragon heads had already bestowed upon him the Breaking Yuan Pill."
"Take it if I give it to you."
With a flick of his finger, Xiaoyaozi sent the elixir into Qiao Feng's palm.
"Li Qinglu, from this day forward, you will be the personal maid of the Great Dragon Head."
"You may later go to the flower hall to report to Miss Yu Yan."
Li Qinglu, who ranked thirty-sixth on the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers List, drew secret admiration from everyone.
Xiaoyaozi pondered in his heart:
"Now that Qiao Feng has brought back Li Qinglu and found one of the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon, the return of the Great Dragon Leader will surely bring a great reward."
Li Qinglu could not hide her disappointment.
I had originally thought I would be able to meet the great dragon leader who had slain 100,000 iron cavalrymen with his sword immediately.
Unexpectedly, she only received the title of maid.
How could an ordinary person be appointed as the chief attendant of the dragon?
"A maidservant by the side of the Great Dragon King, whom others would covet."
Indra saw through her thoughts and offered some advice.
"In my old age, I am nothing more than a servant."
"Is this the Fangri Rabbit from the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon?"
All eyes were on the bronze box.
This antique bronze box is engraved with a black rabbit pattern.
Li Qinglu held him effortlessly.
Li Qinglu explained,
"After the Heavenly Hundred Flowers Ranking was announced, this box appeared out of thin air in my hand."
"It must be Fang Ritu."
"Let this old man take a look."
