Lingyun's face revealed a bitter smile. Feeling the heat coming from behind him and the feeling of being locked on, the bitter smile on his face became even stronger.

He gritted his teeth and suddenly turned around. He looked at the fireball that was dragging the tail of the fire with a serious expression on his face.

Zhang Xuan clenched his fist tightly. His entire body's strength was focused on his fist, and his handsome face was flushed. His clothes flapped noisily in the wind.

In this situation, the only choice he had was to receive the fireball head on. Although the mysterious girl Ling'er only wanted to teach him a lesson and didn't want to kill him, the fireball she had sent out was not powerful enough.

However, don't forget that this was in the water. There was no place to exert force from, and the high temperature caused Lingyun to be extremely afraid.

If he chose to rush forward, the fireball would quickly catch up to him. There was no way of dodging it, because the fireball was already locked onto him.

Even if he hid himself in the water, the fireball would still catch up.

At that time, although he would not suffer heavy injuries, it was inevitable that he would suffer. Whether or not his long hair could be preserved was a question.

He thought to himself that women were really unreasonable.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the fireball that was almost within reach. He felt that the long hair on his forehead was slightly bent.

His fist slowly extended. It seemed slow but was actually fast. It appeared in front of the fireball and collided with it.

The moment he collided with the fireball, Lingyun felt a scorching sensation. His fist was burning, and as he withstood the pain, his arm trembled, dispersing some of the fireball's power.

In the next moment, the fireball exploded. Lingyun's body was sent flying, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

With a plop, his body heavily crashed back into the lake, creating a wave that spread out in all directions like ripples in the water.

After a while, Lingyun came out of the lake, his hair was disheveled, and he spat out a mouthful of water, coughing again.

Lowering his head to look at his fist, he couldn't help but to let out a bitter laugh. His fist was bright red, and it was aching uncontrollably. His sleeves were torn to shreds, and there were scorching marks on them.

Suddenly, he felt a cold gaze land on him. He shivered. He knew without a doubt that the person looking at him was the mysterious girl.

Turning around to look, he saw a young girl gently stepping on the surface of the water with bare jade feet. It caused ripples, but she was standing steadily and her feet were suffused with a crimson light.

Seeing Ling Yun turn his head, the girl's red lips under the veil curled up slightly, and extended his jade-like finger. The red light emitted a light aura, and it was faintly emitting a dangerous aura, as though it was pointing at Ling Yun.

Lingyun's expression changed. If he really was hit by this finger attack, even if he did not die, he would at least shed a layer of skin.

He shrank back his neck, blaming himself for looking in that direction. However, it's really quite nice there. It's white and round...

As this thought flashed through his mind, Lingyun quickly suppressed it and used both hands to splash into the water and quickly swam towards the shore.

"Coward, it's really not fun!" Behind him, the young girl Ling'er gave a light snort. The scarlet light on her jade-like fingers dissipated, and she gently stepped on the water surface as she walked towards Ling Yun.

Underneath the sparkling lake, there were some aquatic plants, as well as various fish and prawns that swam freely.

Occasionally a bird swooped down from the sky and plunged into the water. When he came out again, he had a fat fish in his mouth and ran into the woods.

Under the island in the center of the lake where the pavilion was located, it was pitch black and looked dark and gloomy.

No one knew how deep this place was, and even the manor's master, Ling Yun, did not know.

This manor did not exist before. He had accidentally discovered the purple bamboo here and renovated it to become a garden of the imperial family.

Actually, it was only his personal. The reason why he had the title of Royal Garden was to dispel any thoughts that a scumbag should not have.

This lake had existed here since a long time ago.

Lingyun had his people clean up a bit and raise some fish, so he didn't care. As for what was in the lake, he didn't know.

At this moment, right below the pavilion in the center of the lake, an existence similar to a cave could be faintly seen under the pitch-black surface of the water. It was unknown how deep it went.

The cave was very big, like a demon opening its mouth. It looked very eerie and terrifying.

What was even more frightening was that in the pitch-black cave, there were two large "lanterns". They looked very strange.

At a closer look, that wasn't any lantern at all. Rather, it was a pair of gigantic pupils, faintly glimmering with red light.

If there was an expert present, one could see that the owner of the pupils was a bizarre huge beast. It looked like a turtle, but was many times bigger.

Its enormous body was larger than the pavilion in the center of the lake, no, it was bigger than a lake. It was as big as a mountain, and on its back was a dark black turtle shell with strange and mysterious patterns.

Apart from the strange patterns, the turtle shell was also covered with sharp barbs that emitted a metallic luster.

However, there were many mottled marks on it. It looked like a gully, a saber mark, or a sword mark.

The turtle-shaped beast's teeth flashed with a cold light. It laid prone on the ground. Its four claws were as sharp as dragons', and there was no doubt that if it slammed its palm down, even a mountain would be smashed into pieces.

If Ling Yun was here and saw this beast, he would definitely recognize that it was called the Xuanming Spirit Turtle, and that it carried the bloodline of the ancient Black Tortoise.

In ancient times, the Black Turtle was an existence on par with the Dragon and Phoenix, and was famous for its terrifying defensive power.

Although the Xuanming Spirit Turtle wasn't as strong as its ancestors, it was still a peerlessly powerful demonic beast.

Ling Yun's strongest defensive ultimate skill, the Heaven Defending Seal, was obtained from meditating over the Xuanming Spirit Turtle Armor.

The Xuanming Spirit Turtle's enormous eyes rolled upwards, wide open and full of surprise, as if it had seen something unbelievable.

From its huge beast eyes, the image reflected the mysterious young lady on the lake, Ling'er's jade-like fingers, glowing with a crimson light, and Ling Yun's projection of how to escape.

After a long while, a deep voice came from its mouth, "I didn't expect to meet a member of that clan here.

Especially that boy, the blood in his body is even more powerful. Even I felt a sense of fear, but it was sealed.

Sigh, that's right. This boy's body still has human bloodlines. With his clan's pride and those stubborn old fellows, not killing him was already a miracle, what a pity.

If those old fellows were to find out how powerful this little fellow's bloodline was, their intestines would probably turn green from regret.

Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that after sleeping for a few thousand years, I would see such a scene right after being awakened by the bloodline of that race. " At this point, the Xuanming Spirit Turtle sighed lightly. It looked towards the north of the continent and said faintly, "I wonder how the situation is right now …"

Very quickly, the Xuanming Spirit Turtle closed its enormous eyelids, and the lantern that had been emitting light all this time disappeared, returning to darkness.

No one would have thought that there was actually a Xuanming Spirit Turtle hidden here, so why would it be here?

Although it was unknown how strong it was, it was at least a Sixth Order Demonic Saint in terms of size.

Also, which race was it talking about? Or perhaps it was a power.
