No one had expected Ling Xiao to be so ruthless, directly killing the four emperors and the Sect Master of the Great River Sect. This had shaken the Great River Sect's foundation.
If the Dragon Sea Pavilion took advantage of this opportunity to attack the Great River Sect, then the Great River Sect would definitely disappear in the annals of history.
Ling Xiao didn't continue to chase after the others after letting the blue Flood Dragon kill them.
Since he had already vented his anger, he could let the others go.
He knew that the Dragon Sea Pavilion wouldn't let them go.
When he was here, the Dragon Sea Pavilion had been polite to him, so he had helped them out.
"Little dragon, turn small. It'll scare the others." Ling Xiao touched the dragon's body.
The blue Flood Dragon understood Ling Xiao's intentions and immediately shrank into a miniature version of a small Flood Dragon. It wrapped itself around Ling Xiao's waist and refused to return to the spirit beast bracer.
"Seniors, Ling Xiao is deeply apologetic for any of your worries." Ling Xiao bowed slightly.
He didn't expect the blue Flood Dragon's appearance to cause such panic, so he was quite embarrassed.
He muttered to himself, "Didn't they say that I could ride on spirit beasts?
Why is there such a big commotion when I just let the little dragon appear? It seems like I can't keep a low profile! "
"Brat, how did you manage to subdue the Flood Dragon suppressed at the bottom of the river?" Gu Ba asked as he approached Ling Xiao.
He looked at the little dragon on Ling Xiao's waist and was quite fearful.
Ling Xiao rubbed his hair and laughed dryly, "Senior … this … this might be because I'm a good person. It followed me for no reason."
Since they all thought it was a Flood Dragon, Ling Xiao could only make the best of it.
In any case, he had already killed the eighth-grade Nine-Headed Dragon Snake at the bottom of the river. Nothing would happen in the future.
"How shameless!" Dong Qinqin said disdainfully after hearing Ling Xiao's narcissistic words.
"I also think that you have a good character. Otherwise, why would such a strong creature stay by your side?
You're really to this old man's liking. "Gu Ba praised him, then lowered his voice and said to Ling Xiao," I say, what do you think of my Xiao Qi?
She's the most beautiful flower in Nantian City. She has the looks, the figure … "
Before he could finish his words, Dong Qinqin had already ordered the Hell Patterned Leopard to pounce forward.
Cuba squealed and ran away, not forgetting to add, "The only bad thing about her is that she's too hot-tempered!"
"Grandpa Gu, I'll definitely pluck off your beard!" Dong Qinqin angrily shouted.
Ling Xiao looked at the two clowns and chuckled. He then turned to the Dong Clan's patriarch, Nangong Lie, and the rest of the Dragon Sea Pavilion. "Seniors, sorry for the disturbance. Junior will take his leave now."
"Little brother, why are you in such a hurry? Our Dragon Sea Pavilion isn't far from here. We're very grateful that you've subdued the flood dragon and removed a huge threat to the Dragonwave River. Why don't you come to our Dragon Sea Pavilion for a few days before leaving?" Long Haitian invited him.
Such a young talent, if they didn't curry favor with him now, when would they be able to? Not to mention, this young man had helped them eradicate a formidable enemy of many years. The remaining remnants of the Great River Sect were no longer a threat. Long Haitian was extremely grateful towards Ling Xiao and sincerely extended an invitation.
"This … I might have to disappoint Senior. Junior has important matters to attend to in the Southern Wasteland's Gu City. It's not convenient for me to stay for long," Ling Xiao declined.
The Southern Wasteland's Gu City was the birthplace of the Gu Clan, and it was also the ruins of their ancestral land.
Before Long Haitian could reply, Nangong Lie said indifferently, "Why do you want to go to Gu City? That place has been abandoned for ten thousand years, and it is said that ten thousand years ago, something ominous happened there. Now, there are terrifying things happening there, and no one knows how many years it has been."
Nangong Lie was from the Southern Wasteland, so he had some understanding of the Southern Wasteland's affairs.
"I have my own difficulties, but I have to go," Ling Xiao replied.
"Since that's the case, then rest for a day at the Dragon Sea Pavilion. I'll take you to Gu City tomorrow," Nangong Lie said.
"This …" Ling Xiao hesitated, not knowing how to respond.
Gu Ba returned to Ling Xiao and said, "Brat, you're in luck. Brother Lie is famous for keeping strangers away from him. It's your luck that he invited you along. No one is more familiar with the Southern Wasteland than him."
Ling Xiao pondered for a moment before replying, "Then I'll have to trouble Senior."
In any case, he still had to wait for the Demon Emperor and Xuan Yao to arrive, so he might as well go to the Dragon Sea Pavilion to rest and understand the situation before setting off.
Long Haitian and three elders from the previous generation of the Dragon Sea Pavilion invited the Dong family's ancestor and Master Gu Ba into the pavilion.
The two hesitated for a moment, but they still decided to give the Dragon Sea Pavilion face.
After all, the Dragon Sea Pavilion would definitely rule the Dragon Wave River in the future. Although the Dong family was powerful, it was still necessary to maintain a good relationship with them.
As for the two elders from the Cai family, they also shamelessly followed them. This was a good opportunity to establish a good relationship with the Dong family. At the same time, they could also establish a good relationship with the Dragon Sea Pavilion, Nangong Lie, and that young man. This was very important to the Cai family.
After Ling Xiao sent a sound transmission to the Demon Emperor, he entered the Dragon Sea Pavilion with Long Haitian and the others.
The Dragonsea Pavilion was constructed by a river, and it was surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers. The buildings were magnificent and grand. The mountains were verdant, the springs flowed, spirit birds flew about, and spirit energy was abundant. When looked at from afar, it was like a beautiful and elegant painting that caused one's state of mind to relax.
Long Haitian led the group to the Dragon Sea Pavilion, which was the highest symbol of the Dragon Sea Pavilion.
The Dragon Sea Pavilion was located on the highest mountain beside the river. The pillars and walls of the palace were mainly carved with pictures of dragons and phoenixes. The carvings were very detailed, and they looked very lifelike. A huge dragon was coiled above the palace, giving off a very intimidating and domineering feeling.
When they arrived at the top of the Dragon Sea Pavilion and looked down, the Dragon Wave River looked like a huge dragon lying on the ground. The waves of the river surged, corresponding to the Dragon Sea Pavilion. One couldn't help but sigh at how talented the architect of the Dragon Sea Pavilion was. He had actually built this place according to the local conditions, and it really lived up to the name of the Dragon Sea Pavilion.
"No wonder there's this saying, 'See the real dragon in the Dragon Sea Pavilion'. It really is true," Nangong Lie praised as he looked down at the Dragon Wave River.
The Dong family's patriarch also said, "This is the way of nature. Looking at it every day is better than a month of cultivation. It's a pity that you've wasted it."
"Elder Dong, you're right." Long Haitian bowed slightly.
He muttered to himself, "I've been looking at this river for almost a hundred years, and I still haven't realized that I've gained a thousand years of cultivation?"
However, just as everyone was about to enter the Dragon Sea Pavilion, they discovered that Ling Xiao hadn't followed them.
"Ling …" Long Haitian wanted to call out to Ling Xiao.
"Don't disturb him!" The Dong family's patriarch stopped him.
Ling Xiao stared blankly at the river that looked like a huge dragon. The torrential river water seemed to flow eastward endlessly, and the waves whistled and splashed endlessly. It was like a flood dragon soaring into the sky, or like an expert's all-out attack, overturning the river and overturning the sea.
Ling Xiao fell into an indescribable state. He felt like he was a small boat, drifting with the wind, rising with the waves, moving with the momentum, and stopping with the water.
That mysterious and mysterious feeling seemed to be constantly lingering in his heart.
The group of elders behind Ling Xiao didn't dare to say anything, because they already knew what kind of state Ling Xiao was in.
This was the legendary state of being one with the heavens.
Martial artists pursued the pinnacle of martial arts, and only by reaching the state of being one with the heavens could they reach the pinnacle.
The fact that Ling Xiao was able to comprehend it under such circumstances made them all envious. At the same time, they sighed inwardly, "This Tenbin kid is indeed extraordinary!"
Gradually, Ling Xiao's figure became illusory.
Others could clearly see him in front of them, but they felt as if he had disappeared from this side of the world, separated into another world.
After an unknown amount of time, a spirit bird quickly flew in front of Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao's body trembled slightly, and his eyes returned to normal.
"Damn bird!"
Gu Ba, who was behind Ling Xiao, cursed. Then, he made a grabbing motion, and the spirit bird flew into his hand.
"Grandmaster Gu, please stop!" Long Haitian shouted.
Ling Xiao also said, "Senior Gu, let it go."
"How can it be counted?
This damned bird destroyed your state of being one with the world. How many opportunities do you need to enter this mysterious state once or twice? Damn it! "Guba angrily complained on Ling Xiao's behalf. He was about to crush the struggling spirit bird to death.
Ling Xiao stopped him again. "If I hadn't come to the Dragon Pavilion, I wouldn't have comprehended the dao. Ling Xiao has already benefited a lot, so how can I be so greedy? Senior Gu, please let it go."
"That's right. Opportunities are hard to find. If you get them, you'll be lucky. If you don't, you won't lose anything." The Dong family's patriarch gave Ling Xiao a patronizing look.
Before, he had only paid attention to Ling Xiao because of the flood dragon. Now, he was finally starting to take Ling Xiao seriously.
"Little Feifei, where are you?" A clear and melodious voice came from not far away.
The crowd looked toward the source of the voice and saw a beautiful woman looking around as if she was looking for something.
When she saw Long Haitian and the others, she asked Long Haitian, "Daddy, have you seen Little Feifei?"
Long Haitian rebuked, "Tong 'er, don't be rude. Hurry up and greet the seniors."
This woman was Long Haitian's daughter, Long Ruotong.
Long Ruotong rarely saw her father so serious, and she knew that the people in front of her were definitely important. She immediately went up and bowed to them.
"Feifei, you're here? Senior, can you return Feifei to me?" asked Long Ruotong.
The spirit bird in Gu Ba's hand was Long Ruotong's pet. She had raised it for many years and had developed a deep affection for it. That was also why Long Haitian had stopped her.
"Child, don't let this bird fly around in the future. Do you know how many people's opportunities were destroyed by it?" Gu Ba casually returned the spirit bird to Long Ruotong.
Long Ruotong was a bit confused. At that moment, her gaze fell on Ling Xiao.
Her expression became calm at first, but then it turned into an expression of extreme joy. She stared at Ling Xiao as if she had seen a lover she hadn't seen for many years.
Ling Xiao was embarrassed by Long Ruotong's gaze.
Ling Xiao revealed a shy expression, "This … this young lady, don't look at me like that, I'll be shy!"
"How can Tong Tong be so rude?" Long Haitian coughed in embarrassment.
He muttered inwardly, "What's wrong with my daughter?
Even if you like him, you can't act like this! "
