Luckily, the dragon race’s aura and characteristics of the two girls were covered. The icy-eyed teen beside was also no different from a human cultivator.

Those Juelong City people only glanced suspiciously at the three before not looking at them anymore.

Instead, when they looked at Zong Shou, their gazes turned serious, a cold light flashed by their eyes. They obviously recognized him, it didn’t look like they had good intentions.

Zong Shou laughed and coldly looked back at them. They were all grade-8, he didn’t hold them in much regard.

As for those black-shirted people, after hesitating slightly, they retracted their gazes. It seemed like they weren’t willing to have any conflicts with Zong Shou here.

Ye Feishuang showed no fear at all, she said solemnly, “As Long as it has something to do with the dragon race, how could they not interfere? As for why they came, I do not know. However, it probably has to do with those items. I heard that there is a God Realm Peak Dragon pellet that was owned by an ancient evil dragon. The Dragon Pellet and the physical body were separately sealed. Next, it would probably be the dragon torture platform where there were some treasure grade torture artifacts that are best used on the dragon race. There is also the Flood Dragon Scales shed by the Flood Dragon in the past…”

Zong Shou didn’t pay attention to the words behind him. Hmm… God Realm Peak Dragon Pellet? Would it be the one Aokun was searching for in the cloud world these few years?

However, the timing wasn’t right, Aokun was sealed after the Cloud Desolate Era before the Dragon Shadow Old Man left the cloud world.

Whilst the dragon race left the cloud world in the middle to the end of the cloud desolate era.

… However, it wouldn’t be much of a hassle to try.

Zong Shou made up his mind, the true dragon blood on his right hand started to burn.

Moments later, a sigh spread out in his ear. It was Aokun from several worlds out.

He didn’t have much hope, but he also had the thought of giving it a try.

Just as he was about to communicate with Aokun, a person walked out from the group of people. The man stood in front of the hall.

He was over 30, wearing a crown. His face was demure, elegant, energetic, and handsome, it also gave off a righteous aura. His aura was similar to the Ice Flood Dragon beside him, a grade-9 expert.

“I am Daoling Sect Fangming, I have something to say! The items in the dragon hall are for the people of the world, the fated will obtain it. However, with what my Daoling Sect has deduced, Although the spiritual formation has weakened, it is still extremely dangerous within. Many people would need to work together to break the formation. If there are items, then it would be based on fate! No fighting, killing, and snatching. There will be no bullying of the weak either! If not, I Fangming will be the first to not let him off! If you trust me, then search for me to mediate any disputes…”

In front of the stone hall steps, it was total silence. The gazes of many were attracted to Fangming.

After which, a laugh broke out, “So it is cultivator Fangming! Brother is so righteous, your words make real sense!”

“Cultivator Fangming’s name has spread throughout the cloud world. This time, the opening of the dragon hall needs someone to take charge, why don’t we burden cultivator Fangming with this?”

“Since it is you, then we obviously will trust your words!”

Zong Shou listened on. In his heart, he was really curious about who this fellow was. It seems like his reputation was quite good.

Although he entered the common people’s path, however, these 2 years, he had been focused on cultivating and researching sword path and spells. He had no time to be distracted with other matters.

In the last life, although he was doing really well in the God Emperor game, this person’s name was really unfamiliar to him.

Ye Feishuang heaved a sigh of relief, “So he is Fangming!”

Following which, she looked at the shocked expression on Zong Shou’s face, she laughed coldly, “To think that the first seat disciple of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, the ruler of Gantian mountain, is even more ignorant than me. This Fangming has always had a good reputation in the cloud world, even when just handling matters, the demon sect disciples respect him. Since it is him, there would be less fighting on this trip.”

Zong Shou was speechless. He remembered that 2 years ago, he laughed at her for being ignorant. Who knew that the tables would turn and it was now her turn to mock him.

In the eyes of the people, the common people’s path was the same as the demon path. Leading 3 sects and 6 schools, the head of numerous demon sect disciples, naturally, it was the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, another name for the common people’s path.

Fangming said a few more humble words before accepting the position as leader. To his surprise, the 200 odd Demon Sect Disciples there didn’t oppose.

Zong Shou smiled, not bothered about it. He just waited while teasing Feihan.

Based on what Ye Feishuang mentioned, the doors will open 4 hours later when the time was right.

The dragon halls 13 thousand years ago were always like that, controlled by spiritual formations.

Every 3 years, on the 1st of September, it will open, and then proceed to close on the 3rd. Newly born people of the dragon race would be sent here after they are 10 years old to accept the blessing of the ancestral dragon and to cultivate in dragon race special skills.

Most of the dragon race will also choose the dragon hall as their resting place when they die.

This opening of the dragon hall was actually a trial run of sorts for most of the sects. They sent their elite disciples, not hoping to gain anything. They only wanted to find out the specific situation within. There were also extremely few lone cultivators who headed over.

What made Zong Shou speechless was that during the 4 hours of waiting, Chuxue only woke up once before quickly falling back asleep. She slept really soundly, not bothering to question where she was.

If he knew that this was going to happen, he would have placed her at home. She was now a burden instead.

In his heart, he felt weird, what was happening to her? Did she love to sleep so much? Out of 24 hours, she would only be awake for 4 of them.

Even if she was growing, it still wouldn’t lead to such a case.

Ye Feishuang frowned when she saw her and looked over at Zong Shou with a probing and questioning gaze.

Zong Shou could only act like he didn’t know while giving off a mysterious look.

After 4 hours, the hall doors finally opened. The numerous groups that were waiting rushed in. Zong Shou also followed behind.

When they entered, they finally managed to see what was within, it wasn’t as run down as it looked from the outside. It was in fact, quite clean, the four walls had dragon-shaped carving on it. It was also really wide, after all, they were at a dragon hall. It was designed to let in maybe more than a thousand giant dragons, the group of people here wasn’t a problem at all.

At the depths of the hall was an extremely majestic giant dragon. A normal dragon had five claws, however, this one had nine claws and four horns.

It seemed like it was alive, a celestial path cultivator pressure pressed down on them as they neared.

The place was really spacious, however, the items here were in a bad state. When the dragon race fled the cloud world, they really left in a hurry.

Zong Shou looked around and saw that there were precious materials. The 16 normal looking jade stone pillars were actually all made of black gold jade, an earth grade low-grade spiritual item.

It seemed like since they were the dragon race, they didn’t really care about these millions of kilograms of black gold jade used by people to craft artifacts.

The stone pillars were one of the cores of the spiritual formation. No one was so foolish to touch it, they could only greedily look at the spiritual items used to decorate the hall.

“Be careful! Even though this is the main hall, it is still considered the most dangerous area. The items here can’t be touched within 3 years!”

Fangming reminded them, causing the people to come to their senses. Following which, he said, “Just now I used the Mingshu understanding technique to observe. The missing portion of the formation should be on the left.”

When the people heard that, they all looked towards the left. Only to see that there was a side door.

Moments later, the over ten people who were good at formations all relaxed. One of them smiled, “It really is at the left. Cultivator Fangming’s attainments in the formation path is really high!”

Fangming had a humble smile on as he walked towards the left stone door. He was really careful while he walked out from the side door and through a long corridor. Only then did the area open up into a forest. However, it was much more desolate than the main hall, the trees here had mostly dried up.

Zong Shou, Zong Yuan, and the others followed behind. When they passed the stone corridor, they saw Fangming head east after thinking carefully about it.

A portion of the people followed whilst some swept around, silently scattering into the forest.

Out of the 600, a majority of them left.

Zong Shou followed behind Fangming for a while before he halted. He felt his sleeves being tugged. Turning his head, he saw Ye Feishuang giving him a signal through her eyes.

Zong Shou understood and followed them towards another direction.

Walking for some time, he realized that these two girls were really familiar with the place like it was their own home.

After breaking out from the gazes of the others, they decided to fly in the air instead.

Zong Shou followed behind them, his heart trembling. The spiritual formation within the dragon hall had something to do with space.

If one wasn’t careful enough and knocked into the restrictions, even without the formation activating, the body would be cut into pieces by the space cracks.

Luckily, they were safe all the way.

The icy-eyed teen didn’t speak a single word, totally expressionless all the time. He didn’t even bother when Zong Shou greeted him at the start.

Originally, Zong Shou thought that the Ice Flood Dragon was born arrogant. Only now did he notice that his gaze was really blur and lifeless, it was like he had no thoughts.

It was similar to the puppet in his memory.

He was filled with more questions in his heart, where did these two sisters come from?

Flying for around 30 minutes and roughly 200 miles of land, a cave finally appeared in front of their eyes.

Zong Shou looked at the signboard, he could see words written on it ‘Pill Accumulating Cave’.

He was startled upon seeing this, “Your dragon race knows how to refine pills?”

Ye Feishuang scoffed, “My dragon race is the spirit of a hundred beasts. Why wouldn’t we know how to refine pills? However, only those with such talents are really rare.”

Zong Shou didn’t believe this and continued looking at her with a weird expression on his face. Ye Feishuang was helpless and could only reply, “Really! However, they aren’t in the 9 dragon halls. In the 9 dragon halls, we don’t know how to refine pills. We would invite your human race spirit masters. Naturally, we would know how to refine pills…”

Zong Shou understood what she meant and broke out into a laugh. However, instead of the word ‘invite’, it was more apt to call it ‘snatching’. The dragon race at its prime didn’t treat human cultivators courteously.
