Chapter 156: Dragon

Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Dragon

Standing on the cloud with the three elders, Zhongshan looked out at the vast and endless sea, feeling relieved.

As for Elder Zixun, she hadn't explained why she had chosen him these days. She hadn't even spoken to him and had been giving him the cold shoulder. Zhongshan didn't bother touching that moldy head.

Although Shui Wuheng was the Second Senior Brother, he didn't act arrogantly like Tian Sha. He and Zhongshan got along well in conversation. However, Zhongshan could tell that while Shui Wuheng had no intention of harming him, their relationship was only superficial. It wasn't as congenial as it had been when he first met Zhao Suoxiang.

"Senior Brother Shui, were you previously employed in the Great Luo Heavenly Dynasty?" Nan Batian asked.

"Yes, I was just a minor official of the eighth rank under my father's command. Thanks to the elders for giving me this opportunity," Shui Wuheng nodded.

While Zhongshan, Nan Batian, and Shui Wuheng were conversing, suddenly, a massive column of water erupted from the sea below.

The white clouds stopped, and an elder immediately flew out, casting a cold glance at the suddenly 'ambushing' water column.

The white clouds stopped, and everyone looked down together. ~"

Another massive column of water shot up into the sky. Then, from the surface of the sea, a giant golden dragon head suddenly emerged.

A dragon?

It was Zhongshan's first time seeing a dragon, a real dragon, with a camel head, deer horns, ox nose, and carp whiskers. During the pursuit of Prince Haosan, most of the creatures they encountered could only be considered snakes. There was only one true dragon, but even that dragon had only one horn. In front of them now, however, was a pair of majestic dragon horns, a true dragon.

This dragon was golden in color. Through its eyes, Zhongshan sensed a hint of youthfulness. Yes, it was youthful, as if this dragon were still in its infancy.

But even though this young golden dragon was still young, it had a head the size of a small table.

With a loud noise, the golden dragon burst out of the sea. Then, a large number of huge sea serpents also emerged from the water, breaking through the surface.

Boom, boom, boom, boom~

These were not sea serpents; they were flood dragons. Each of them had dragon whiskers, scales, and claws, but no dragon horns. They all showed their heads, staring at the golden dragon together.

The most astonishing thing, however, was not the flood dragons. What truly surprised Zhongshan was the figure standing on top of the golden dragon's head. Atop the head, the size of a table, stood a girl wearing a green dress, with two small braids.

The girl looked about ** years old, with a lively and adorable face. She grabbed the dragon's horns, her face filled with excitement as she looked down at the sea below.

"Xiao Jin, hurry up, hurry~~" The girl shouted excitedly.

Then, as if understanding the girl's words, the golden dragon quickly swam away on the surface of the sea, with nearly a hundred flood dragons escorting it, protecting it by its side.

"Hurry, hurry, don't let that old man catch up." The girl shouted innocently, her eyes squinting into crescents, extremely cute.

"Roar~" The young golden dragon roared excitedly with its immature voice.

Occasionally, some figures could be seen, but the three elders had no intention of stopping and continued to head northwest.

Five days later.

"We're about to enter the Heartrending Mountain Range," Shui Wuheng said softly.

"Heartrending Mountain Range?" Nan Batian asked in confusion.

"Yes, the Heartrending Mountain Range, the border between the Dayu Dynasty and the Great Luo Heavenly Dynasty. The Dayu Dynasty's army is often stationed here, so it's generally quite dangerous. Even flying should be done cautiously. If not flying, one can run along the ground, as the speed of a cultivator running may not necessarily be slower than flying," Shui Wuheng explained in a low voice.

"The Dayu Dynasty? The Great Luo Heavenly Dynasty? Do the two countries often engage in warfare?" Zhongshan asked in puzzlement.

"Of course, with the two countries bordering each other, isn't it natural for them to vie for dominance? To compete for territory? The Great Luo Heavenly Dynasty, as one of the three strongest dynasties in the Divine Land, is definitely coveted by all directions. However, the Great Luo Heavenly Dynasty is prosperous enough to maintain its dominance. But wars are almost everywhere, constantly erupting, after all, the Great Luo Heavenly Dynasty is too vast." Shui Wuheng explained.

"Release the arrows~" Suddenly, a loud shout came from afar.

Suddenly, a large amount of red light shot out.

Bursting Arrows, they were Bursting Arrows. The moment Zhongshan saw the red light, he recognized it at a glance. The powerful Bursting Arrows, the same ones that nearly killed him and Bei Qingsi last time. And this time, there were thousands of them, aimed directly at the people on the white cloud.

The Bursting Arrows came too quickly, and in an instant, thousands of Bursting Arrows were in front of the white cloud.

Thousands of Bursting Arrows, this was the power of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. Without a super magic weapon, even the Nascent Soul stage cultivators would be at the mercy of the arrows.

Although Zhongshan had absolute confidence in the three elders, he instinctively took out his large sword. Although the large sword couldn't be of much use, or even no use at all, Zhongshan still instinctively took it out. Zhongshan's character didn't like to entrust his life and safety to others. No matter how strong others were, or how well they spoke, it wasn't their safety.

"Boom~ Boom~ Boom~ Boom~ Boom~" With a flash of light and a series of loud noises, all thousand Bursting Arrows were broken and fell into the valley.

And then, a male elder suddenly stood in mid-air with a long sword in his hand, his face cold as he stared at the direction where the arrows came from. Cold air emanated from his sword, and sword energy danced around him, as if countless snowflakes were falling.

Countless sword energy scattered in all directions, then suddenly retracted, all entering the body of the male elder.

In the distance, Zhongshan saw that on a high mountain, there were nearly five thousand men in armor, with a thousand of them aiming their arrows here. At the same time, in the valley further away, Zhongshan also saw a large number of buildings, a large number of troops stationed there, and the soldiers in training exuded a murderous aura. Zhongshan took a deep breath. In the distance, the lowest cultivation level was also in the Foundation Establishment stage, and at least not weaker than the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment stage. Sword energy? Blade energy? Could these soldiers release sword energy? Were these the ordinary soldiers on the battlefield?

Zhongshan knew that their group must have unintentionally stumbled upon a military camp, which prompted the guards to release arrows. Moreover, these arrows were all Bursting Arrows, with a thousand of them fired in one volley.

Zhongshan watched quietly, knowing that he couldn't intervene now, and could only wait for the three elders to make a decision.

But from Elder Zixun's expression, he could tell that they weren't very nervous.

The male elder from before stood on the front line, obviously to resolve the current situation.

In the distance, seeing that the Bursting Arrows did not have the intended effect, the leader of the guards also realized the seriousness of the situation and did not release a second volley of Bursting Arrows. Instead, he quickly informed the valley below.

Sure enough, in just a moment, a man in armor with a large sword flew up from the valley below.
