The atmosphere near the azure mountain was strange in the first place. Suddenly, someone appeared and patted Xiao Chen's shoulder.
Xiao Chen, who already felt nervous, immediately turned around and threw a palm strike as if he faced a great enemy.
"Bang!"
The two palms clashed, and Xiao Chen knocked that person back. When he landed, he paled slightly and grimaced in pain, appearing extremely unbearable.
"Qin Zhuolin!"
When Xiao Chen saw this person's appearance, he felt startled. Why is he here?
He hurriedly flew forward and walked over with quick steps.
"Are you alright?"
Qin Zhuolin smiled bitterly and said, "It has only been half a year, and your strength has increased a little too much. This is truly incredible."
Half a year ago, Xiao Chen was still a Holy Venerate.
When they met again, Xiao Chen had already broken through the shackles of Sovereign Personage, surpassing Initial Perfection Sovereign Personage and reaching Small Perfection Sovereign Personage.
"This is all thanks to the Heart Burn you gave me. I don't know whether to thank you or blame you. Heart Burn can only be used once in my lifetime, and I wasted it at the Holy Venerate Realm. "
Without the accumulations of Heart Burn, it would have been very difficult for Xiao Chen to break through to Small Perfection Sovereign Personage in one go.
Qin Zhuolin smiled abashedly and said, "I did not expect Heart Burn to be so strong. Sorry, sorry. Since you hit me earlier, we are even, right? "
"Let's not talk about this. Why are you here?"
"Haha! I've been waiting for you for a few days already. Let's talk after we return to the village."
"Alright."
When Xiao Chen returned to the village, the villagers welcomed him like he was a hero, welcoming him warmly.
Iron Egg, who had returned early, had already told everyone about Xiao Chen winning the Wine King Contest.
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor had already declared that anyone who dared to touch their village within one hundred years would become an enemy of Peach Blossom City.
Given the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor's strength and prestige, the villagers would no longer have to worry about bandits or Demonic Dao factions invading them.
They no longer had to worry about the thing that they feared the most. How could they not be happy?
After the commotion:
Xiao Chen, Sang, and Qin Zhuolin gathered together.
"What exactly is the Heavenly Fragrance's Holy Daughter looking for you for help?" Xiao Chen asked.
Qin Zhuolin took a sip of wine and said after some thought, "She wants me to help her find the corpse of the previous Heavenly Fragrance's Holy Daughter and bring back a jade pendant."
Xiao Chen's thoughts raced, and he quickly guessed, "The body of the previous generation's Saintess should be in an underground tomb somewhere. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked for your help."
"Smart. Even the Holy Lord of Tian Xiang wouldn't dare to enter this place. The stronger one is, the greater the danger. "
Qin Zhuolin smiled faintly. Then, he looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Guess where the remains are."
"It's just outside the village, under that well. These few days, if you have nothing to do, go there."
Before Xiao Chen could say anything, Sang spoke up from the side.
"Really?"
Qin Zhuolin said awkwardly, "Indeed. The corpse of the previous Heavenly Fragrance's Holy Daughter is in that well. Fifty years ago, the Heaven Dragon of your Dragon Clan seemed to have discovered a shocking secret in this place. Not only did it attract the attention of many people, but it also offended someone that it should not have offended. When it fled into the well, many people who did not know what was going on wanted to follow and take a look. In the end, they were all trapped in there.
"The infamy of this well spread throughout the Desolate Sea. From then on, it became one of the most horrifying forbidden lands in the Desolate Sea. "
Xiao Chen remained silent. Indeed, he had not expected the Heavenly Fragrance's Holy Daughter to do something related to this well.
After a long time, Xiao Chen said, "I went into this well before."
"You came out?"
This time, it was Qin Zhuolin's turn to be shocked. He looked at Xiao Chen and said, "This is really shocking. In the past, there were fearless Geomasters who wanted to go in and check it out. However, no one came out."
Xiao Chen raised his wine cup and drained it in one go. Then, he revealed an expression of lingering fear. After some thought, he said, "There is a Heavenly Dao Killing Formation inside. The killing formation perfectly blends with the environment, preventing people from feeling any danger. Everyone who died in there showed shock on their faces, not knowing how they died. I did not go too deep and only managed to come out due to some fortuitous encounters. "
Xiao Chen told Qin Zhuolin everything that happened that day, holding nothing back.
After Qin Zhuolin heard that, he thought for a long time. Then, he smiled bitterly and said, "To think that it is a Heavenly Dao Killing Formation … Had I known, I would not have agreed to her request. It looks like the Heavenly Fragrance Holy Land's people went down before. However, they were already scared out of their wits. "
"Brother Qin, can you tell me honestly how much do you know about this place?"
Xiao Chen asked directly as he looked at Qin Zhuolin, not wanting to beat around the bush.
Be it the azure mountain that had lost its dragon head or the mysterious and unfathomable ancient well, Xiao Chen urgently wanted to know the answer.
He had a feeling that as long as he solved these two mysteries, he would be able to figure out why the Blue Dragon Race was destroyed.
Qin Zhuolin was stunned for a while. Then, he said, "I don't know much, either. I only heard from my master that the Desolate Sea was not like this in the past. In the past, Desolate Slaves could be seen roaming the Desolate Sea even during the day. Look at how desolate the Desolate Sea is now, right? The Desolate Sea used to be even scarier and more dilapidated than this. The corpses and blood of the righteous and demonic sects turned this place into hell on earth.
"However, because of two people, because of their fight, the entire Desolate Sea's terrain changed."
Xiao Chen asked, "Which two people?"
The Desolate Sea was vast and boundless, even larger than the eastern region and northern region combined.
Just because of a fight between two people, the landscape had completely changed. Just how powerful was that person?
"One was the Dragon Race's Dragon Emperor Xiao Yun, and the other was a mysterious existence without a name."
"Dragon Emperor Xiao Yun? There doesn't seem to be such a Dragon Emperor. I once checked the Dragon Race's records of emperors, and there was no such Dragon Emperor. "Xiao Chen's memory was not bad. If this person was truly strong, he should have a deep impression of him.
"There isn't? I don't know about that, either. My master told me. My sect only has a single inheritor, so my master should not lie to me. However, that does not matter. I will only tell you what I know. "
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Speak."
"For some reason, this Dragon Emperor Xiao Yun wanted to sacrifice the entire Desolate Sea. Tsk tsk. Think about it. Back then, the war between the righteous and demonic factions had just ended. Who knows how many Sovereign Emperor and Faux God corpses were buried in the Desolate Sea? There were even more Sovereign Personage corpses. If he really succeeded in the blood sacrifice, how horrifying would it be? So, someone came to stop him, and the two started fighting. "
Qin Zhuolin continued, "No one knows who won. In any case, the Desolate Sea became like this after that."
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. After a while, he asked, "What does this have to do with this place?"
"My master speculated that this towering mountain might be the totem that Dragon Emperor Xiao Yun set up back then, using the totem as the formation core. Then, he used the entire Desolate Sea as the formation core and carried out the blood sacrifice. "
Qin Zhuolin smiled and said, "Of course, that master of mine is not very reliable. What he said is something passed down by his ancestors. Take Dragon Emperor Xiao Yun for example. Even you said that there was no such thing, so don't take it too seriously. I really don't believe that someone could use the entire Desolate Sea as the formation core and lay a blood sacrifice formation. How strong would that person have to be? However, I'm only telling you what I know … Hey, Xiao Chen? "
As Qin Zhuolin spoke, he discovered that Xiao Chen was in a daze, not listening to him at all.
Sang saw some clues and already guessed some things. The Emperor Record did not have any records of Dragon Emperor Xiao Yun. However, that did not mean that there was no such Dragon Emperor in the Divine Dragon Empire's history.
If this Dragon Emperor Xiao Yun was the Blue Dragon Race's Dragon Emperor, then everything made sense.
Xiao Chen must have guessed this, which was why he was in a daze.
"What are you thinking about?"
Xiao Chen recovered his wits and said, "Nothing. Go on, go on."
Flabbergasted, Qin Zhuolin said, "I already said everything. What else do you want me to say …"
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Xiao Chen could only change the topic. "Who exactly is the person who fought with Dragon Emperor Xiao Yun?"
Qin Zhuolin shrugged and said, "Who knows? There are always some people in the Great Thousand Realms who hide their strength. Take you for example. Who could imagine that you were just a Holy Venerate half a year ago? Now, you are already a Small Perfection Sovereign Personage. "
Now that the topic returned to himself, Xiao Chen stopped asking. However, he felt exceptionally curious about Qin Zhuolin's identity.
To think that Qin Zhuolin knew such a secret in such detail.
"Since you are here, I will not linger. After drinking this cup of wine, I will be going down. I hope that I can return alive," Qin Zhuolin said resolutely as he drained the wine in one go.
Qin Zhuolin downed the wine in one go and put down the wine cup.
He still wants to go to the Cold Yin Spring's ancient well?
