Ch 321: East Sea Dragon Race
Hearing these words from Qian Wanjun, Zhou Lingfeng gradually calmed down.
He was not a foolish person, so he naturally understood that what Qian Wanjun said was true.
Thinking of the possible hidden dangers, he secretly rejoiced that he had not acted rashly just now, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The two looked at each other and saw the caution and vigilance in each other’s eyes.
They knew that obtaining this Karma Fire Red Lotus would probably not be easy. They had to make thorough preparations to ensure complete success.
“Then what should we do?” Zhou Lingfeng frowned and asked with a puzzled expression, his eyes fixed on Qian Wanjun, expecting his answer.
Qian Wanjun smiled slightly and confidently took out a delicate puppet the size of a palm from his storage ring.
This puppet seemed ordinary on the outside, but it exuded an extraordinary aura, as if it contained some mysterious power.
He gently tossed it, and the puppet rotated a few times in the air. The next moment, it suddenly transformed into a huge mechanical giant one zhang tall.
This mechanical giant was made of precise metal parts from head to toe, exuding a cold and hard aura. Its figure was burly and its aura was fierce. The power fluctuations it emitted were not weaker than a Heaven-Human Realm Peak martial artist!
“Let my puppet scout the way first.”
Qian Wanjun said leisurely, his tone full of confidence in the puppet’s abilities, “It is powerful enough to deal with ordinary dangers. If there are no problems ahead, it won’t be too late for us to take action to pick the Karma Fire Red Lotus. This will ensure our safety and allow us to obtain the treasure smoothly. Wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone?”
Zhou Lingfeng also curiously watched the puppet, a trace of exploration flashing in his eyes.
He had worked with Qian Wanjun in the Lu Royal Residence for a long time, and although he knew that the other party was strong, he had never seen him really take action.
Now, Qian Wanjun not only took out the Heavenly Travel Divine Crane, but also sacrificed this mysterious puppet, which made him feel a trace of surprise and curiosity.
“How many trump cards is this guy still hiding?” Zhou Lingfeng thought to himself, his eyes lingering on Qian Wanjun for a moment before turning to the puppet.
He vaguely felt that Qian Wanjun’s strength was far more than it seemed on the surface. Perhaps this cooperation would allow him to catch a glimpse of some of the other party’s secrets.
Soon, the puppet took heavy steps and slowly walked towards the Karma Fire Red Lotus.
Although its movements were slightly stiff, every step carried a powerful wave of power, as if it could crush all obstacles.
The puppet’s eyes flickered with a ghostly blue light, as if it was observing the surrounding environment, looking for possible dangers.
Just as the puppet was about to reach out and pick the Karma Fire Red Lotus, an unexpected change occurred!
“Roar—!”
A earth-shattering dragon roar came from the depths of the seabed. Immediately afterward, a huge black shadow soared from beneath the surface of the sea.
It was a huge True Dragon, its body covered with cyan-black scales, each scale flashing with a cold luster.
Golden flames burned in its eyes, its dragon whiskers danced like steel whips, and its dragon claws were as sharp as knives, as if they could tear space apart.
The True Dragon opened its bloody mouth and suddenly spewed out a scorching dragon breath.
The dragon breath was like a river of fire, sweeping over in an instant, completely engulfing the puppet.
The puppet didn’t even have a chance to resist before it was burned to ashes by the terrifying flames, leaving not a trace of wreckage.
Zhou Lingfeng and Qian Wanjun’s expressions changed drastically, their eyes full of shock.
They stared at the True Dragon, and a huge wave was set off in their hearts.
“A Martial Saint Realm Dragon Demon! Damn it, how could it be a Martial Saint Realm Dragon Demon!”
Qian Wanjun said through gritted teeth, his voice carrying a hint of undisguised fear.
He originally thought that the guardian of the Karma Fire Red Lotus would at most be a Dharma Aspect Realm demonic beast, but he did not expect it to be a Martial Saint Realm True Dragon!
In this world, the Demon Race also occupied a place.
Although they were not as powerful as humans, they were by no means easy to deal with, relying on their innate strong physique and unique racial talents.
In particular, those Demon Race members with ancient bloodlines were even able to contend with the top powerhouses among humans.
And the Dragon Demon in front of him was obviously a leader among the Demon Race.
The body of this Dragon Demon was about eighty zhang long, covered with cyan-black scales, each scale flashing with a cold luster.
Golden flames burned in its eyes, its dragon whiskers danced like steel whips, and its dragon claws were as sharp as knives, as if they could tear space apart.
It circled between the sea and the sky, and with a gentle sweep of its huge dragon tail, it rolled up a sea dragon tornado hundreds of zhang high.
The sea dragon tornado roared into the sky, as if it wanted to tear the heaven and earth apart.
“Who are you? Why do you dare to trespass on the territory of my East Sea Dragon Palace?” The Dragon Demon spoke slowly, its voice rolling like thunder, causing Zhou Lingfeng and Qian Wanjun’s eardrums to ache.
Its tone carried a hint of cold killing intent, as if it would launch a fatal blow at any time.
Zhou Lingfeng and Qian Wanjun looked at each other and saw the fear in each other’s eyes.
Although they were both Martial Saint Realm experts, they felt an unprecedented pressure in the face of this Dragon Demon.
Especially when the other party mentioned “East Sea Dragon Palace,” a huge wave was set off in the hearts of the two.
The East Sea Dragon Palace was a top force among the Demon Race, and its foundation was so deep that it was not inferior to some ancient sects among humans.
And Ao Han, the East Sea Dragon King, was a legendary figure among the Demon Race.
Rumor had it that his cultivation had reached the Martial Saint Realm Completion, and he had fought with the Ming Emperor without falling behind, and eventually retreated safely.
Such an existence was simply not something they could provoke.
“This is troublesome,” Qian Wanjun said in a low voice, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity.
He originally thought that this operation was just a simple pursuit mission, but he did not expect that it would involve such a behemoth as the East Sea Dragon Palace.
Zhou Lingfeng’s expression was also solemn, and the hand holding the sword trembled slightly.
He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said in a low voice: “Now is not the time to fight head-on. We must find a way to escape. If we anger the East Sea Dragon Palace, I’m afraid even the Lu Royal Residence won’t be able to protect us.”
Qian Wanjun nodded, a trace of determination flashing in his eyes: “Since this is the case, then we can only retreat temporarily. Although this Karma Fire Red Lotus is precious, it is not worth risking our lives for it.”
Zhou Lingfeng stepped forward, clasped his hands, and said in a respectful but dignified tone: “The two of us are people of the Great Ming, and we were ordered to pursue a wanted criminal to this place, with no intention of disturbing you, Esteemed One.”
When he spoke, he looked directly at Ao Han, trying to resolve the crisis with sincerity.
After all, it was by no means wise to form a feud with the East Sea Dragon Palace.
