Chapter 98: Where Is The Other One
"The Qingyang Sacred Scroll is quite handy?"
The several Fish-Dragon Realm experts exchanged glances, and they all saw the shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.
The Qingyang Sacred Scroll, which they had been unable to retrieve using countless methods over the past sixty years, was taken so effortlessly by Su Zhan? Moreover, they didn't even witness Su Zhan using any secret techniques or the like. He simply pulled it lightly, and the Qingyang Sacred Scroll was in his hands.
What the hell!
Could it be that the scroll they couldn't take with all their various methods was a fake? The other Fish-Dragon Realm experts looked at Li Qingyang with suspicion.
"Brother Li, didn't you say that no one in the fifteen nations could take the Qingyang Sacred Scroll? What's going on now?"
"Brother Li, could it be that when we came to retrieve the Qingyang Sacred Scroll decades ago, you secretly set up some kind of special restriction? Intentionally making us believe that the Qingyang Sacred Scroll couldn't be taken, to dispel our covetousness for your Qingyang Nation's treasure?"
"Is that so? I never would have thought that Li Qingyang, who usually appears carefree and uninterested, is actually so scheming and deep!"
Feeling the suspicious and even resentful gazes of those Fish-Dragon Realm experts converging on him, Li Qingyang forced a bitter smile. "You are thinking too much. How could that be possible? If I had the ability to set up a restriction that would render all of you powerless, would I still need to claim that no one can take the Qingyang Sacred Scroll?"
Li Qingyang's face was filled with frustration. Over the past sixty years, he had spent many days and nights here, trying countless methods, all to no avail. He had long lost any hope. But today, this Qingyang Sacred Scroll that had rendered him helpless for sixty years was effortlessly pulled down by Su Zhan.
Looking at Su Zhan, who was touching and examining the Qingyang Sacred Scroll with his hand on the stone platform, Li Qingyang felt an overwhelming sense of frustration, with an urge to vomit blood.
A Martial Divine Body, an unparalleled mental power talent, and now he could casually take away the Qingyang Sacred Scroll as well! Why the hell! Is he even human???
At this moment, Su Zhan looked at it for a while before storing the Sacred Scroll in his storage space. This Qingyang Sacred Scroll not only allowed him to comprehend the soul attack techniques of the Qingyang devil fire but also served as a precious item for cultivating spiritual power/mental strength. It was an extremely rare treasure.
This trip to the Clear Sun Kingdom was worth it.
Su Zhan revealed a faint smile and looked at Ma Tieniu and the other Fish-Dragon Realm experts. He spoke, "I've taken the Qingyang Sacred Scroll from Li Qingyang. As for you, coming from afar to congratulate me and showing such great importance, shouldn't your gifts be of higher value than the Qingyang Sacred Scroll?"
"Well"
The faces of those experts turned bitter. They did have treasures, but they couldn't compare to the value of the Qingyang Sacred Scroll. Even if they had similar-level items, those were the treasured possessions and national treasures of their respective countries. How could they easily offer them?
"It seems that you didn't come to congratulate me after all, but to kill me. Those who want to me kill will be killed. Since that's the case, then"
"No! We did bring a valuable gift! Its value surpasses that of the Qingyang Sacred Scroll!" Sensing the deep meaning in Su Zhan's words, Ma Tieniu trembled and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Seeing Su Zhan looking at him, Ma Tieniu quickly continued, "What we want to present to Young Master Su is Dragon's Blood!"
"Dragon's Blood?"
Su Zhan paused for a moment, hesitating. "Just with all of you, you were able to obtain Dragon's Blood? And you've kept it until now without using it?"
"Cough, Young Master Su, please understand that we don't have the ability to obtain true dragon blood, but we know where to find it!"
"That's right! It's in the Celestial Mountain Range! Legend has it that thousands of years ago, a true dragon appeared in the skies above the Celestial Mountain Range and battled with another fierce beast from the wilderness. Although their confrontation in the sky was brief, some people witnessed it with their own eyes. They saw golden dragon blood falling from the clouds and into the Celestial Mountain Range!"
"In the Celestial Mountain Range, there's a massive canyon called the Misty Cloud Gorge, said to have been formed by the might of the true dragon!"
As soon as Ma Tieniu spoke, the other two Fish-Dragon Realm experts also chimed in, eager not to be left behind.
"Is that so?"
Su Zhan's eyes brightened.
A true dragon was the most powerful creature in the Spirit Continent. Even a newborn true dragon could easily crush human martial artists at the Fish-Dragon Realm. If he could obtain true dragon blood, the benefits would be immeasurable!
However, the place that made these Fish-Dragon Realm experts cautious must be extremely dangerous. It would be better to wait until his cultivation reached the mid-stage of the Origin Elixir Realm before going. After all, he was just one step away from reaching the mid-stage of the Origin Elixir Realm.
With this thought in mind, Su Zhan said, "In that case, wait outside for me for a few days. Once my cultivation reaches the mid-stage of the Origin Elixir Realm, you can guide me to the Misty Cloud Gorge to obtain the Dragon's Blood."
"We will follow Young Master Su's orders!"
The few of them nodded quickly and carried the injured old man, who had been heavily wounded by Su Zhan's sword and was unconscious with blood all over his mouth, as they walked out.
After they left, Su Zhan took out the inheritance pearl of the Xu family. With the surge of spiritual vein energy, the spiritual aura in this place instantly increased tenfold. He took out some auxiliary cultivation pills and consumed them, then began to focus on his cultivation.
Outside the forbidden grounds.
After instructing the guards to take the white-haired old man for medical treatment, the Fish-Dragon Realm experts looked back at the gate of the forbidden grounds and let out a long sigh, feeling a sense of relief as if they had escaped a calamity.
Especially Ma Tieniu, he took a deep breath for several seconds before wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. He looked at Li Qingyang and cursed loudly, "Li Qingyang, you damn bastard! Thankfully, I reacted quickly, or else I would have been killed because of you, wouldn't I?"
The other two Fish-Dragon Realm experts also wore expressions of anger.
"Li Qingyang, is this the Su Zhan you said we could easily suppress when we joined forces? Were you deliberately trying to trick us?"
"Li Qingyang, you fucking nearly trapped me so I couldn't get out!"
As they berated him, Li Qingyang's mouth twitched, wearing a mournful expression on his face.
"I couldn't have imagined that this guy would be so twisted! In just a few days, he comprehended the essence of the Qingyang Sacred Scroll, and the power of his manifestation is even stronger than mine, even after my sixty years of cultivation! This is unbelievable!"
To comprehend to such a degree in just a few days, and the strength of that sword aura caught the Fish-Dragon Realm white-haired old man off guard, causing him to be heavily wounded and pass out. And Su Zhan, who is only sixteen years old and at the early stage of the Origin Elixir Realm.
Putting these pieces together, everyone trembled inwardly.
They secretly swore that when they returned, they would strictly order their disciples and descendants to remember not to provoke Su Zhan, otherwise it might bring catastrophic consequences!
Just at that moment, King Yang of Clear Sun Kingdom, accompanied by a group of guards and palace maids, walked towards them.
Despite the distance, he was already laughing heartily.
"Now that you have come out, it seems that Su Zhan has already been suppressed! I have prepared a banquet at the Star-Reaching Tower. Today, we must drink to our heart's contenteh?"
"I remember Li Qingyang mentioning that there were four seniors who came together. Where is the other one?"
