"Great Elder, what is the meaning of this?" Shui Qingrou asked the Great Elder with a gloomy face.
"Palace Master, please don't misunderstand. This place is very strange and dangerous. I feel that Palace Master has a noble status and is the pillar of our Water Spirit Hall. It's best if you don't take the risk first. Let me explore this staff first. If there is any danger, I will take it. If there is no abnormality, I will give this staff to Palace Master after we get out." The Great Elder hurriedly bowed and explained in a seemingly loyal and respectful manner.
"Heh …" Xiao Lingyu couldn't help but laugh in a strange tone. In his opinion, this kind of excuse could only fool a three year old child.
"Great Elder has guarded the Sun Moon Star Curtain for so many years and has already contributed a lot. This time, I have to trouble Great Elder to explore this place first. I am really ashamed." Shui Qingrou's expression changed again and again. Although she didn't believe the Great Elder's words, she could only reply with this sentence. No matter what, the Great Elder was still a member of the Water Spirit Hall. If he obtained this staff, he would at most go out and take away Shui Qingrou's position as Palace Master. Moreover, the Great Elder's words were righteous. She couldn't doubt or criticize him. After all, there was an outsider with unfathomable strength here.
After the Great Elder's essence blood dripped onto the blue ball, it was absorbed by the blue ball. Then, it turned into strands of blood mist and spread around the blue ball.
However, the size of the sphere was too big. The blood mist formed by the Great Elder's blood only spread to a small area before it quieted down. The staff also didn't move in the slightest.
"Great Elder, I can't hold on for too long. If you have already made it recognize you as its master, then quickly take it." Xiao Lingyu indifferently urged. He didn't really care about who would take the staff. However, he felt that the Great Elder was very scheming. It was better to be careful when dealing with him.
"Fellow Daoist, please calm down. It should be that the amount of essence blood is not enough. Let me pour in some more. I believe that it will recognize you as its master soon."
After replying to Xiao Lingyu, the First Elder began to vomit blood continuously. He vomited until his face turned pale and his body was on the verge of collapsing. Only then did the blood mist completely cover the entire blue sphere, and the sphere and staff finally began to move.
"Haha, I've already formed a mental connection with it." The First Elder laughed happily, completely forgetting that he had lost too much Blood Essence and his strength had been greatly reduced.
Then, under the command of the Great Elder, the staff slowly rose from the body of the blue dragon. Only then did everyone see that there was a lifelike dragon carved on the staff, and the dragon's mouth was facing the blue ball.
Just as the staff left the blue dragon's body, the originally deathly still dragon suddenly opened its eyes. Xiao Lingyu was frightened to the point that her soul trembled. Without thinking, she quickly retreated. The First Elder and Shui Qingrou were also frightened and immediately retreated with Xiao Lingyu.
Roar!!!
A deafening dragon roar, accompanied by an unparalleled aura, surged out at the same time.
The dragon's roar caused Xiao Lingyu and the others' ears to ring incessantly. Their souls even showed signs of splitting apart at that moment. The aura viciously swept past the chaotic essence Xiao Lingyu had released. Although the chaotic essence Xiao Lingyu's chaotic essence Xiao Lingyu had removed most of its might, the impact still caused Xiao Lingyu's bones to crackle and he coughed up blood.
Shui Qingrou and the First Elder were not in a good state either. They were all Loose Immortals and their bodies were made of energy. Their bodies made of energy were naturally not comparable to Xiao Lingyu's true body that was comparable to a top grade spiritual artifact. If it wasn't for the Primal Chaos Essence's defense, their bodies would have been completely destroyed. But even with the Primal Chaos Essence's defense, their bodies were still trembling and their faces were pale. Their expressions were filled with fear and lingering fear.
Fortunately, that tyrannical aura only swept past and did not continue.
After they were far away from the Blue Dragon, everyone turned around to take a look. They were shocked to find that the Blue Dragon's body was rapidly dissipating. It gradually turned into a blue mist and dissipated into the void. Its head was raised up high and its mouth was wide open.
"So it's just the final radiance of the setting sun." The First Elder's expression relaxed a little.
"Luckily we had Fellow Daoist's help. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to keep our lives." Shui Qingrou said gratefully to Xiao Lingyu.
"This is what I should do." Xiao Lingyu did not have any intention of taking credit. His brows were still tightly knitted. Retrieving the staff was already so difficult, so it was likely that the shield on the Fire Phoenix's body wouldn't be so easily taken away, but if he didn't take the shield, wouldn't he have helped these two Water Spirit Hall masters in vain? Wouldn't he have come all this way for nothing?
Taking the shield was too risky and he might lose his life. But if he didn't take it, Xiao Lingyu was not willing … Xiao Lingyu fell into a dilemma. He didn't know what to choose.
After the Blue Dragon's body completely dissipated, the First Elder quietly approached it. He very smoothly shrunk the Magic Staff and put it into his body.
"This old man's injuries are too heavy. I can't hold on any longer. I need to find a place to heal. I will take my leave first."
After the First Elder put away the Magic Staff, he left these words and hurriedly left.
"Can he do something outside to harm us?" Xiao Lingyu hastily asked after the First Elder flew away.
"With his current condition, it's hard for him to do anything. He can't beat Second Elder and Second Elder is absolutely loyal to me." Shui Qingrou shook her head and replied.
"This First Elder is clearly a wolf with wild ambitions. After we go out, Fellow Daoist Shui should be careful. It's best to take advantage of his current condition and force him to hand over the Magic Staff before he can refine it. If he doesn't comply, kill him." Xiao Lingyu seemed to kindly remind.
"This matter is not urgent. Fellow Daoist should think of a way to take away the shield first." Shui Qingrou said calmly.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Shui should have seen the situation just now. If we take away the shield, we might not have the luck to escape." Xiao Lingyu laughed bitterly and then asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist Shui, now that your target is in your hands, why don't you say that your injuries are too heavy like the First Elder and leave first?"
Shui Qingrou looked at Xiao Lingyu and said, "Firstly, I don't dare to do that. Because I will definitely offend you. Our Water Spirit Hall doesn't have the confidence to offend a Ninth Tribulation expert. Secondly, I'm not that kind of person. I promised Fellow Daoist Shui a good thing but Fellow Daoist Shui hasn't gotten it yet. How can I use this as an excuse to leave first?"
"Ai, trust can really kill people sometimes. But just based on Fellow Daoist Shui's honesty and trust, after this matter, whether it succeeds or not, I will treat Fellow Daoist Shui as a friend." Xiao Lingyu sighed and said with certainty.
"To be able to have a friend like Xiao Daoyou, even if I don't get the Magic Staff and lose my position as the Hall Lord, Qingrou feels that it's worth it." Shui Qingrou clasped her hands towards Xiao Lingyu and said with a smile.
"Sometimes, reality isn't as what everyone thinks or sees on the surface."
