Inside the Manor of Beasts, it was noisy, and the place was brightly lit.
At this moment, a banquet had been set up. On the table, there were all kinds of delicacies, such as Blood Lips, Wolf Legs, Bear Paws, and Deer Fetuses.
"Master Ji, I, Shi the Fourth, propose a toast to you for my offense last night!"
Shi the Fourth raised a head-sized bowl full of wine and said to Ji Ye, who was sitting at the head of the table.
Then, he drank it up.
"Hehe, Brother Ji, I propose a toast to you too!"
Guo Xiang smiled and imitated him. She raised her cup to Ji Ye and drank it up. The wine in her cup was not white wine, but fruit wine made from some special fruits in the Manor of Beasts.
Ji Ye had wanted to ask her to go back to the inn. After all, the Guo siblings must be very worried about her.
But the girl was not afraid, and she soon recovered from the fright of being surrounded by the beasts.
Then, she heard that the Shi brothers were going to hold a banquet to welcome Ji Ye and Yang Guo, but she insisted on staying.
Therefore, Ji Ye had to ask the Manor of Beasts to send a servant back to the inn to tell them that they were safe and to tell Elder Meng about their progress.
After the banquet, Ji Ye, Yang Zhi, Lu Junyi, and the others stayed in the Manor of Beasts.
"Master, the body of the Nine-tailed Fox is gone!"
However, the next morning, when the Shi brothers sent someone to invite them to breakfast …
Lu Junyi suddenly asked with a surprised expression.
"What? Someone stole from the Manor of Beasts?"
As hot-tempered as Shi the Fourth was, he immediately thought that someone must have done something.
After all, the "Nine-tailed Spirit Fox" was an extremely rare creature. Even its fur was worth a fortune.
"The Nine-tailed Fox is very cunning. It must have been pretending to be dead to trick us!"
Shi the Eldest, on the other hand, seemed to have realized something.
"Pretending to be dead?"
Ji Ye was stunned for a moment. Then, he looked a little upset.
"Truth be told, the Twin Dragon Mount knows a thing or two about taming beasts.
"The Nine-tailed Fox is a rare creature, so we tried to capture it. I thought that we might have killed it, and I was a little regretful. I didn't expect that it was just pretending to be dead, and I missed it … "
The Shi brothers didn't doubt Ji Ye's words at all.
After all, in their eyes, Ji Ye had made the wolves that they had tamed for years turn against him with a single sentence.
His ability to tame beasts was definitely above theirs.
Of course, the Shi brothers didn't know that the reason why Ji Ye could control the wolves so easily was that they had tamed them.
In fact, it was not easy for Ji Ye to command a real wolf pack in the wild.
Because, after all, they were not of the Steelback Blue Wolf race.
Just like when they were outside Lanruo Temple, even though they were afraid of him, it was difficult for them to completely submit to him!
"Manor Lords, do you know where the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox's nest is?"
Lu Junyi seemed to have thought of something and asked the five Shi brothers.
"It's a quagmire about five kilometers away from here. It's called the Black Dragon Quagmire. The pond has a circumference of several kilometers, and the bottom of the pond is a hundred feet deep. It's impossible to go deep into the pond. The Nine-tailed Spirit Fox's nest is in there. "
"However, this Nine-tailed Spirit Fox has been frightened. Once it returns to the Black Dragon Swamp, it probably won't come out again."
The eldest Shi brother answered.
This was also the reason why they felt despair when they saw the "Nine-tailed Spirit Fox" escape.
"It's fine. I'll give it a try!
"Also, the preparation of our secret medicine, the Black Jade Ointment, requires the mud that has accumulated in the depths of the pond. We can take a look at the Black Dragon Swamp!"
Ji Ye nodded and was about to go to the Black Dragon Swamp.
"Master Ji, let me go with you!"
Yang Guo said. He felt that he shouldn't accept a reward without doing anything, and Ji Ye had prepared the Black Jade Ointment for him.
Naturally, he was willing to go with Ji Ye.
"Brother Ji, I want to go too!"
Guo Xiang's eyes lit up. She really wanted to catch the white fox with Ji Ye.
"You can rest in the Manor of Beasts first. Your sister should be here soon. After I catch the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox, I'll bring it to Xiangyang City for you to play with!"
Ji Ye naturally couldn't bring her along.
Strictly speaking, one of the reasons why he was in such a hurry to go to the Black Dragon Swamp was that he wanted Yang Guo to avoid Guo Fu.
After all, there was a conflict between them, and it wasn't a good time to meet.
…
"Master Ji, the Black Dragon Swamp is up ahead!"
Yang Guo's alacrity skill was one of the best in The Return of the Condor Heroes, and Ji Ye wasn't slow either.
Although they didn't travel at full speed, they had already reached the Black Dragon Swamp before the sun completely rose.
"Amitabha! I'm Yideng, and I hope that you can show me your face. "
Before they could approach, the two of them heard a voice being emitted from within the Black Dragon Swamp.
There was no one in sight, but they felt that the voice was right next to their ears.
"It's Voice Far Away!
"I didn't expect that Reverend Yideng would be here."
Hearing the voice, Yang Guo was delighted under the mask.
"I made it in time?"
Ji Ye, on the other hand, thought of something.
Knowing that the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox was playing dead, he still let it run away. It wasn't carelessness; he did it on purpose.
The first reason was that he wanted to find its lair and obtain the other "Nine-tailed Spirit Fox" to form a pair!
Another reason was because of the "plot" in this place.
"It's my honor to meet you, Reverend Yideng!"
After they entered the Black Dragon Swamp, they saw a man standing in the snow. His white beard reached his chest, and he was wearing a gray monk's robe.
Yang Guo jumped to his side and bowed to the old monk in delight.
"How have you been, Yang Guo?"
Hearing Yang Guo's voice, Reverend Yideng was pleasantly surprised. Seeing Yang Guo's bow, he quickly helped him up.
"Huh? Isn't this Reverend Cien? What happened to him? "
After Yang Guo stood up, he saw a man lying on the ground next to Reverend Yideng. His face was sallow, and his eyes were closed.
Seeing the man's face clearly, Yang Guo asked in surprise.
"He was injured. I tried my best, but there was nothing I could do."
Reverend Yideng shook his head and said gloomily.
"Reverend Cien, you're so good at martial arts. How did you get injured?"
Yang Guo was even more surprised.
Because this "Cien" wasn't an ordinary person. He was Qiu Qianren, the Iron Palm Drifter, who was the closest to one of the Five Unparalleled Cultivators.
With this kind of cultivation, he was actually injured and couldn't be treated!
"He was injured by the Yuan people. He and I had been living in seclusion in Hunan. Recently, there were rumors that the Yuan army couldn't conquer Xiangyang, so we decided to take a detour to Dali first and then attack Xiangyang together.
"Cien saw that I missed my homeland, so he went to Dali to gather information, but he ran into a Yuan expert and was injured after a fierce battle …"
Reverend Yideng looked solemn.
"The Yuan people were founded on martial arts, but the person who injured Reverend Cien must be one of the four kings!"
Hearing that, Yang Guo became solemn.
His words gave him a piece of information.
It meant that on this Battlefield of Providence, the four kings of Yuan were as strong as the Five Unparalleled Cultivators.
It seemed that he had to improve his strength if he wanted to complete the mission.
"Reverend Yideng, are you here to ask someone from the black pool to save Reverend Cien?"
Ji Ye asked.
Of course, he knew that wasn't the case. He only said that to talk to Reverend Yideng.
"That's not the case. Nobody can cure Cien. Truth be told, my disciple is dying, but he has an unfulfilled wish. He wants the forgiveness of the person in the black pool, or he won't be able to rest in peace.
"Sigh, I've been here for eight days, but she's been avoiding me. I'm afraid that Cien won't be able to hold on any longer. "
Reverend Yideng shook his head and heaved a long sigh.
Qiu Qianren had become his disciple, converted to Buddhism, and was almost killed by a Yuan expert because of him. If Reverend Yideng couldn't fulfill Qiu Qianren's dying wish, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself no matter how profound his Dharma was.
"It's not difficult for you to invite the person in the pool to meet you, Reverend Yideng. Please forgive my rudeness!"
Ji Ye said with a smile.
"Boom!"
Then, his aura suddenly burst out.
Immediately, the water on the surface of the Black Dragon Swamp, which had melted because of the sun, was shaking violently.
After that, the entire Black Dragon Swamp shook violently, as if an earth dragon was turning over!
"Well …"
Both Yang Guo and Reverend Yideng were shocked.
They were among the best in this world.
But even if the two of them were to exert their full strength, it was impossible for them to cause such a large commotion!
What Ji Ye did was beyond the capabilities of a human being.
"Huh?"
However, they weren't the only ones who were shocked. Ji Ye was just as surprised.
He had activated his Flood Dragon Bloodline. His original purpose was to control the melted snow in the Black Dragon Swamp because of yesterday's snow and today's sunlight. He wanted to use some ability to lure out the people hiding in the Black Dragon Swamp.
But to his surprise, the Black Dragon Swamp reacted after he activated the Flood Dragon Blood.
Then, he sensed the attributes of the Black Dragon Swamp.
[Black Dragon Swamp]
[Level: Special]
[Rarity: Common]
[Description: It's said that a black dragon once lived here, and its aura over the years has made the Black Dragon Swamp unusual.]
He had thought that the Black Dragon Swamp was just a common name.
However, judging from its attributes, it seemed that a black dragon had once lived here.
As a result, the mud at the bottom of the Black Dragon Swamp resonated with him, and the Black Dragon Swamp in a radius of several kilometers was shaking nonstop.
Yes, there were dragons in The Return of the Condor Heroes.
According to Master Jin's original work, the creator of the Dragon-Subduing Strike referred to the fighting style of a black Flood Dragon and combined it with the Book of Changes to create this technique.
Perhaps, this "Black Dragon Pool" was the place where that Black Dragon had once rested.
Even though it was greatly weakened because it was only the Battlefield of Providence, it still had its extraordinary features!
