Chapter 697 “Impersonate (9)”
“Elder Muzhen.” Upon seeing the arrival of this old beauty and her disciple, those who were already standing at the Dragon River promptly moved aside to create a path for them.
“Mmm.” Giving a confident nod, Muzhen slowly strode towards the front where a heavily bruised up dragon was lying there on the shore.
Due to the large numbers of wounds and injuries, Silvery was now panting heavily despite the ferocious glare he’s giving to the surrounding crowd.
“Is this the dragon that tried to attack the dragon boat that day?” Coming up to the captive, Muzhen stares down condescendingly at the dragon to express her own opinion: “How come there’s only one here? I remember in the reports there were two that day, where’s the last one?”“Shifu, we can have our people go down again to search the waterbed. The Dragon River is only so big, there’s no room for the other one to hide at this point.” Offering up the suggestion, Mu Leng grins maliciously at the impending treasure she’s about to get.
Dragons are full of precious materials, right down to its nucleus core. For example, the scales could be used to craft weapons or armors – which are invaluable to a cultivator who needs a personal gear in combat. Then there’s the flesh of the serpent. Ignoring the delicious taste that’s been spouted since tales of old, the benefits from digesting a slab of said meat would outweigh the danger of slaying one of these legendary creatures because of the great boost to one’s bodily functions.
“You are right my dear,” nodding at her student’s suggestion, Muzhen signals her people to dive. “All of you go now, I want that second dragon captured and placed before my eyes!”
Silvery roared out at the humans as soon as he overheard their plan. Despite the heavy injuries and bruises he sustained, his huge body once again moves to take an aggressive stance.
Lady Tsing Yi is still inside the river. I can’t let any of these human down there!
“Hmm?” Furrowing her brow at the offensive display by the serpent, Muzhen needed no further reason to attack. Forming a fist, she sends a direct blow against Silvery’s main body.
“You dare to block me? You’re asking for death!”Bang!
Swinging around and making a heavy thud against the shore, Silvery found his strength completely leaving him this time. He couldn’t even raise his head anymore after that hit.
No…. If things continue like this then Lady Tsing Yi will surely be in danger. I must notify Goldy!
In-between the blurring haziness that’s swiftly overtaking the poor dragon’s consciousness, he could see the humans are quickly moving towards the body of water.
……
Above the Zhong Manor, an extremely thick and powerful gush of energy was quickly gathering and converging in the sky above this estate. From afar, it would look like a storm was brewing….
Boom!
Suddenly, strikes of lightning began to rain down at the ground, covering the sky with a gloominess of a forming hurricane. As a result, all of those elders and powerful individuals had become alarmed and had started to investigate.
“That… is someone breaking through into the higher level of the Monarch Rank?”
“It looks like it’s coming from the general direction of the Zhong Manor.”
“Zhong Manor? Is it the Zhong brothers? But aren’t those two seriously injured and could no longer progress in this lifetime? How can they suddenly make a breakthrough after so many years of nothing? I bet its some other master passing through their home and decided to hunker down for a breakthrough….”
The Zhong brothers can still break into the higher level of the Monarch Rank? Don’t kid around!
“In any case, we should inform the chief and madam first.”
Exchanging a look with each, the group of elders decides to consult with the leading family first before taking action.
“We will go to the Zhong Manor first to investigate. By then we will know who is having a breakthrough.” Chief Wu Wei makes his decision after listening in on the information he’s given.
The man originally wanted to summon Ho Cui Cui since he’s heard from Huan Yin that they’ve rescued the girl, but he’s the chief. When a high-level Monarch Rank master appears then he must divert his attention that way since he must put the Misty Fairy House before his own family.
