Chapter 416 Return to Azure Dragon Island
"Because you helped me suppress the divine fire. You help me, I help you, isn't that just how it is?"
It was only natural for the Palace Master Yun Shu to say that.
"Besides, I also want to know what the temple has been up to all these years."
"You should know that the deaths of the three empresses are related to the Vermilion Bird Temple, right?"
Xiao Weiqing nodded; he had heard Yin Zong mention this before.
Palace Master Yun Shu added, "I'll accompany you to Azure Dragon Island. If a fight breaks out, I'll give it my all."
"If the Azure Dragon Temple isn't as powerful as I imagined, would you accompany me to the Vermilion Bird Temple?"
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Weiqing realized that with his current strength, he was unlikely to be in any danger if the Star Lord didn't come out, so he nodded in agreement.
"Can."
"Okay, it's a deal."
Palace Mistress Yun Shu extended her fair, delicate hand.
Xiao Weiqing reached out and grasped it; just like before, it was a little cold.
It's a deal.
As Xiao Weiqing withdrew his hand, Palace Master Yun Shu unexpectedly exerted a slight force and grasped Xiao Weiqing's hand.
"It feels so good, let me hold it for a while."
Feeling the coldness of Palace Master Yun Shu's palm, Xiao Weiqing's heart stirred, and a faint energy of the Great Sun Burning Heaven Flame emanated from his palm.
Palace Mistress Yun Shu inhaled it all, squinting her eyes with a look of pure enjoyment on her face.
......
The next day.
Four figures soared into the sky from Luojiang Academy and flew rapidly in the southeast direction.
An hour later.
The sky was a clear, deep blue, without a single cloud.
An endless sea.
Suddenly.
Four figures appeared in staggered rows.
It was Xie Zhiyuan, Dongfang Baichen, Xiao Weiqing, and Palace Master Yun Shu.
The group stared ahead, as if waiting for something.
Whoosh~~
Two figures leaped out of the sea and appeared in front of the group, a man and a woman.
"I've met a few."
"It must be Generals Li Kun and Xu Yanling," Dongfang Baichen said.
"Exactly."
"Generals, is there anything unusual on Azure Dragon Island?"
General Li Kun said, "Since the various families brought back their members, there have been no other abnormalities on Qinglong Island."
How many people are left on the island?
"It is estimated that there are still about 600 people left."
"So many?"
Dongfang Baichen frowned.
Based on previous speculation, the temple itself had a maximum of ten people, and over the past hundred years, the number of people adopted by the Azure Dragon Temple was no more than one hundred.
Two months ago.
The Great Xia Dynasty had already informed all the prefectures and major families in advance that there were still more than 600 people.
Li Kun sighed and replied, "Some families not only did not withdraw from Qinglong Island, but many of them went in, and their strength exceeded the eighth realm. There were even strong people from other countries who secretly entered the island."
Xiao Weiqing, standing to the side, raised an eyebrow; things were getting interesting.
The Great Xia has already made it clear that it intends to take action against Azure Dragon Island, and there are still those who are oblivious to their own mortality and stand on the side of the Azure Dragon Temple. This behavior is no different from treason.
As for the strong individuals from other countries, Xiao Weiqing couldn't determine the reasons behind it.
"understood."
"Xiao Weiqing, what do you think?" Dongfang Baichen turned to ask Xiao Weiqing.
Xiao Weiqing remained expressionless and slowly spoke, "My target is the Azure Dragon Envoy. The others are dispensable to me."
He doesn't care how many people are inside; if it doesn't cause trouble, great; if it does, no.
"Let's go then, be careful."
That's all.
With a wave of his hand, Dongfang Baichen sent a streak of silver light piercing through the air, causing ripples in the space ahead, as if a light curtain had been torn open. Through the crack, the group saw the scene inside.
It was a huge, winding mountain range, like a giant dragon lying across the sky, a truly magnificent sight.
"Walk."
At a command.
The four people entered one after the other.
After the four entered, the spatial rift returned to normal, and the area became peaceful again.
"Word of Power, inform the higher-ups that they've gone in."
"it is good."
......
Enter the space that belongs exclusively to Azure Dragon Island.
As far as the eye can see, mountains stretch as far as the eye can see.
Nearly 30 kilometers.
"What a wonderful place!"
Xiao Weiqing exclaimed that both spiritual energy and cosmic energy were visible to the naked eye.
then.
A surge of spiritual power welled up from Xiao Weiqing's body, and the entire landscape, from the Azure Dragon Academy at the dragon's tail to the temple at the dragon's head, appeared clearly in his mind.
"Are they all in the temple?"
Xiao Weiqing raised an eyebrow, "That's just what I need to avoid trouble."
Xiao Weiqing took the lead, transforming into a streak of light and flying towards the Azure Dragon Temple.
Xie Zhiyuan, Dongfang Baichen, and Palace Master Yun Shu followed closely behind.
In front of the Azure Dragon Temple.
The Azure Dragon Envoy addressed the hundreds of people behind him:
"Friends, if you can help the temple overcome this crisis, the contents of that side hall will be yours."
The Azure Dragon Envoy pointed to the side, which was the side hall where innate skills were stored.
"In addition, I can also tell you about the method of cultivating the soul."
"Hahaha... Divine messenger, you're too kind. We all awakened at the Azure Dragon Training Camp and received the favor of Azure Dragon Island. We are definitely not the kind of people who forget kindness."
"Indeed, I've long heard that Dongfang Baichen is the strongest on Blue Star, and his abilities are unfathomable. This is a good opportunity to see for myself."
"That makes sense."
Many people chimed in, echoing the sentiments.
"They're here."
The powerful figures gazed at the horizon as four black dots hurtled toward them.
It only lasted a dozen seconds.
Xiao Weiqing and the others had already arrived above the crowd.
"Azure Dragon Envoy, it's been a long time."
The moment Xiao Weiqing saw the Azure Dragon Envoy, a grin spread across his face, his killing intent undisguised.
"It's you?!"
The Azure Dragon Envoy was startled. Seeing Xiao Weiqing again surprised him, but what shocked him even more was Xiao Weiqing's strength, which he could not sense.
It should be noted that even Dongfang Baichen's strength was roughly known to him; although he was wary, he was not afraid.
But Xiao Weiqing was different; his strength was unfathomable.
It's only been less than three years.
What happened to this child?
For some reason, when the Azure Dragon Envoy looked at Xiao Weiqing's youthful face, he thought of another person, someone he could never forget—Dongfang Hao.
but.
The Azure Dragon Envoy did not retreat, nor could he retreat.
Slowly rising into the air, step by step upwards, barefoot in mid-air, as if stepping on the surface of a lake, the air ripples.
then.
Swish~~
Hundreds of powerful figures took to the air and confronted the four.
"Kid, don't you know where you are? Do you even have the right to speak?"
Someone stood up and rebuked them.
"Dongfang Baichen, we do not wish to get involved in the conflict between your Dongfang family and the Temple. Now that the demon race is eyeing the Great Xia, why launch an attack at this time? It is an indisputable fact that the Temple helped the Great Xia resist the demon beasts a hundred years ago. Why do such an ungrateful thing?"
"Indeed, Dongfang Baichen. Our enemy now is the demon race. The Azure Dragon Temple has remained secluded for decades and has not taken any excessive actions. Why escalate the conflict unnecessarily?"
"Yes, that makes sense."
Everyone stepped forward to dissuade him, hoping that it would be best if Dongfang Baichen could be forced to retreat without bloodshed.
Nobody wants to start a fight.
Although they outnumbered him and were not afraid of Dongfang Baichen, Dongfang Baichen's ability to guard the capital for over a decade was no empty boast.
Dongfang Baichen smiled. "Everyone, it seems you've misunderstood something."
