213 The Flood Dragon Compromised; The Beast Tide Retreated

This belonged to the ancient dragon clan! Even if Ye Xuan had heaven-defying abilities and had the help of the Penglai Immortal Beasts, he could not possibly pull off such a feat. It was definitely not stolen or robbed.

The flood dragon couldn’t believe its eyes, but the truth was right in front of it, so it had to believe. Other than that Lord giving the item to Ye Xuan of his own accord, there was no other possibility.

“How could this be…”

The flood dragon began to doubt this world. It hadn’t expected such an important item to fall into Ye Xuan’s hands. It didn’t know the truth.

In fact, after the bone dragon disappeared, the thing automatically flew into the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram. At first, Ye Xuan didn’t know what it was since there was no fluctuation of spiritual power on its surface.

At this critical moment, he suddenly thought of using this thing to deter the flood dragon, but he hadn’t expected the effect to be so good. It seemed that the flood dragon knew its origin.

“How about it? Can we talk now?”

The rain subsided, and the dark clouds slowly dispersed like ink. A ray of sunlight shone down from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, the sky cleared, becoming as transparent as the surface of a lake. The wind and waves calmed, and the previous storm was completely gone.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Just like that?

They had thought that there would be a fierce battle, but to their astonishment, the flood dragon stopped when Ye Xuan took out a magic treasure. This made them feel like everything had been much cry and little wool.

What kind of magic treasure could have such a great effect on the flood dragon? Could it be that it was a divine artifact? It was a pity that most people didn’t manage to get a good look. They were even more in awe of Ye Xuan.

“Let me see that thing again,” said the flood dragon.

Ye Xuan shook his head and refused. He had already put the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram away. He said, “That won’t do. What if you try to take it from me?”

The flood dragon was so angry that it couldn’t speak. Although it was indeed envious, it would never do such a thing before the presence of that Lord.

“Fine, since the Lord has given you such an important thing…” muttered the flood dragon.

Yi Chengrui and the others were confused, not knowing what was going on.

The flood dragon continued, “For the Lord’s sake, I will let you go today. However, I will not go easy on you next time. You must give us an explanation. Otherwise, the next time we come, we will dye Changping red with your blood!”

The flood dragon roared, and there was a commotion in the beast tide. The army of demonic beasts slowly retreated, and the people of Changping cheered.

“They are retreating! The demonic beasts have finally left.”

Seeing the figures of countless demonic beasts gradually turn into small black dots and then disappear into the forest, the heavy burden that weighed on Yi Chengrui’s heart finally lifted.

A strong sense of exhaustion hit him. Previously, he had exhausted his spiritual power and almost self-destructed. Right now, if someone wasn’t holding him, he would have collapsed on the ground and would not be able to get up again.

Even so, he gritted his teeth and bowed deeply at Ye Xuan. His voice choked up as he said, “Many thanks for Elder Ye’s life-saving grace! I have nothing to repay you with, but I’ll be your slave in my next life.”

If it wasn’t for Ye Xuan, perhaps Changping would have become a playground for demonic beasts and countless people would have lost their lives.

Ye Xuan quickly helped him up and said, “City Lord Yi, you’re too polite. We came here with the specific purpose of resolving Changping’s problem.”

The flood dragon had left, but its parting words meant that this matter was not completely over.

If the flood dragon knew that the Lord had disappeared, would it blame Ye Xuan and return? In short, there were still a series of problems in the future.

Yi Chengrui asked curiously, “Elder Ye, we heard you talking to that dragon earlier. What happened? Why did the dragon leave?”

Ye Xuan replied, “It’s a long story. It began when we stepped into the demonic beasts’ forest…”

Everyone arrived at the City Lord’s Manor. Most of the injured people had gone to recuperate, leaving only a few people in the manor. They were all trustworthy and reliable people. What they were about to discuss was crucial, so it was better not to let too many people know about it.

After listening to Ye Xuan’s story, the eyes of Yi Chengrui and the others widened as they gaped in bewilderment. They couldn’t help but gulp.

If they hadn’t seen the flood dragon with their own eyes, they probably wouldn’t have believed Ye Xuan’s words.

“So, the legend was true. There really is a dragon mine in Changping. There’s even the skeleton of an ancient dragon buried here.”

Yi Chengrui struggled to digest the news he had heard. He had always thought it was nonsense. After all, no one had found such things after so many years.

Ye Xuan nodded. He added, “This is the information we’ve found. The mine that those people excavated should be the closest to the dragon’s skeleton. That’s why the remaining consciousness in the dragon’s skeleton woke up, which led to the series of events that happened after.”

In addition, the flood dragon was influenced by the dragon’s remains, which was why it could command so many demonic beasts. This led to them attacking the city.

“What about the dragon’s remains now?”

“It’s gone, “Ye Xuan said calmly. “Don’t worry. It won’t cause trouble again.”

Yi Chengrui and the others couldn’t help but heave sighs of relief. Cold sweat broke out on their backs. Whenever they thought of the bone dragon being near them, they were on edge and couldn’t rest peacefully.

It was like a sharp sword hanging above their heads. No one knew when it would fall. Just a Dragon Breath was enough to destroy Changping, so wouldn’t it be easy for the dragon clan to deal with them?

If the bone dragon had decided to take action personally, they would have been annihilated in one blow.

Yi Chengrui looked at Ye Xuan with even more shock and awe, and so did the others. He could even deal with the dragon’s skeleton. What kind of monster was he?
