In a secluded corner of the capital, the old man appeared.
Lin Xuanji leaned forward and gave him a thumbs up. "Old man, you've got some skills. You chased away a divine dragon in a couple of rounds."
The old man rolled his eyes. "Dragons differ in strength as well. That Dragon belongs to the Azure Dragon lineage. Although it's an adult Azure Dragon, it has yet to reach its peak. Furthermore, it has just laid an egg and its essence energy is greatly damaged. That's why its strength has decreased significantly. "
"Then why didn't you kill that Azure Dragon earlier on?"
Lin Xuanji rubbed his hands. "Since we're already enemies, I might as well kill it and get rid of all future troubles."
"Kid, you make it sound so easy with your lips,"
The old man sneered, "Do you know what the consequences will be if you kill that Azure Dragon? Rivers of blood will flow in the capital of Great Zhou and no one will be spared – that's considered light! In the worst case, the entire North Region of Primordial Chaos would be littered with corpses and piled up into mountains! "
"Old man, don't scare me," Lin Xuanji was shocked.
"Scare you? Back then, that … "
The old man stopped mid-sentence and shook his head. "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."
"F * ck!"
Lin Xuanji's ears perked up to listen intently when the old man stopped talking …
The old man waved it off. "Furthermore, do you think that the Azure Dragon came by itself? There's another Dragon in the dark who has yet to appear. That Dragon is the true expert! "
Lin Xuanji frowned and asked, "Old man, I used a Minor Transference Talisman. How did that Azure Dragon find this place?"
"The three of you ate the dragon egg. That's equivalent to eating a dragon! Although that dragon isn't fully formed yet, how much energy does it contain? "
The old man said, "The only way to avoid the Azure Dragon's senses is to refine and absorb the energy within your body completely."
"Mine was easy. I only ate a bit of egg juice. I'll probably be able to refine it in a month or so,"
Lin Xuanji gloated. "That Su Zimo and that dog are in for it. They ate so much, haha!"
The old man pondered for a moment and said, "Go remind him not to leave the capital of Great Zhou before he refines the essence energy of the dragon egg in his body."
"Ah?"
Lin Xuanji was stunned. "Old man, you're not planning to stay here forever, are you?"
"Of course not."
The old man shook his head and said, "When you finish refining the dragon egg's essence, we will return to the Central Continent. The Primordial Battlefield will open in another two years. I have to go back and prepare in advance. "
Tianhuang Mainland was divided into four regions, three seas, and one continent.
The four regions referred to the Eastern Region, Western Region, Southern Region, and Northern Region.
The Great Zhou Dynasty was located in the Northern Region of the Infinite Region.
One of the continents referred to the Middle Continent. Located in the center of Tianhuang Mainland, it was vast and was even larger than the other four regions combined!
If a Foundation Establishment Cultivator were to travel on his sword at full speed, he would not be able to cross the entire Northern Region of Tianhuang Mainland even if he exhausted his lifespan, let alone enter the Middle Continent.
Perfected Being Jin Dan was faster and had a longer lifespan. However, no one would waste their precious time on the road in order to head to the Middle Continent.
Furthermore, the journey was fraught with danger and demon beasts roamed the mountains and rivers. One would most likely die before they even reached the Middle Continent.
Only by reaching Nascent Soul realm would one have the ability to protect themselves and attempt to cross the four regions and one continent.
…
In the restaurant, Su Zimo listened to the discussions around him while eating the food he ordered.
Suddenly, a person sat down opposite the table.
Su Zimo raised his head and was slightly stunned.
Lin Xuanji.
After the two of them escaped from the primordial ruin, they parted ways.
To think that he would meet this person again in the capital.
Su Zimo poured a bowl of wine for Lin Xuanji and smiled. "To think that we would meet so quickly. It seems like we're fated."
When he heard the word 'fated', Lin Xuanji's mouth twitched.
Because they were fated, he was almost scammed by Su Zimo and that dog the entire way!
The dragon egg was gone.
His tracks were even exposed and he was hunted down by the Dragons.
His Minor Transference Talisman was gone as well.
He was even slapped twice by the old man and the handprint had just faded.
At the thought of that, Lin Xuanji was furious.
He replied coldly, "It's not fated. I'm the one who sought you out."
"Oh?"
Su Zimo exclaimed softly and asked, "What are your instructions, fellow Daoist?"
"Don't leave the capital of Great Zhou before you refine the essence energy in your body,"
Lin Xuanji continued, "Just Now, you must have seen the battle outside the city. That dragon sensed the energy in your body and that's why it came here."
Su Zimo frowned – that was what he was worried about.
After pondering for a moment, Su Zimo said, "However, it's not a good idea for me to stay in the capital and refine the essence energy. What if the Dragons come knocking during this period of time? Unless that mysterious expert is guarding this place the entire time and can appear to stop the divine dragon. "
"Even if the old man isn't guarding this place, you'll be relatively safer in the capital."
Lin Xuanji said, "The Dragons will definitely have reservations after today's battle. After all, they might not dare to come knocking again after suffering a loss once. However, you haven't refined the essence energy of the dragon egg. The moment you leave the capital, the Dragons will definitely sense it and hunt you down. By then, you'll definitely die! "
Su Zimo remained silent.
His original plan was to return to Misty Peak immediately.
He was extremely concerned about Little Fatty and the others, monkey, Linghu and little crane.
However, after hearing Lin Xuanji's analysis, Su Zimo realized that he had no other choice but to stay in the capital!
Of course, it was not a bad thing for him to stay in the capital.
Firstly, he could ensure his safety for the time being.
Secondly, he could save a lot of time on the road to raise his cultivation and refine the essence energy of the dragon egg.
Right now, what Su Zimo needed the most was time to cultivate.
He had gained way too much in the past year and had yet to settle down and convert them into true combat strength.
Thirdly, the sect competition was going to be held two years later and all the sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty would have to rush to the capital. Misty Peak would be there as well.
That way, Su Zimo could meet everyone from Misty Peak in the capital and save himself the trouble of traveling back and forth.
At that thought, Su Zimo made up his mind.
For some reason, Su Zimo could vaguely sense that there was something wrong with Lin Xuanji's words Just Now.
"Alright, that's all I'll tell you," Lin Xuanji stood up and was about to leave.
Su Zimo looked at Lin Xuanji's cheeks and said with a fake smile, "Fellow Daoist, your cheeks have gotten fatter after not seeing you for half a day."
Lin Xuanji's expression froze as he grit his teeth. "I'm happy to!"
With that, he flicked his sleeves and left while mumbling, "Damned old man, he didn't hold back at all …"
When he heard that, Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly realized that there was something wrong with Lin Xuanji's words Just Now.
"Even if that old man isn't here, you'll be safer in the capital."
That was what Lin Xuanji had said earlier on.
How did Lin Xuanji know that the mysterious expert was an old man?
None of the cultivators outside the capital caught a clear glimpse of the mysterious expert's appearance!
"Coincidence? Was it a casual remark? Or … "
Su Zimo's eyes flickered in deep thought.
