His tone was practically thundering with rage!
Miao Yi was a little dumbfounded. He didn't understand why this remnant soul was so agitated. Before this, it had always had a haughty and disdainful tone. Just one sentence from Charcoal had triggered it to this extent? Just deny it. Was there a need to scold him? It was too unbecoming of the Dragon God's demeanor.
Miao Yi looked at Charcoal again. 'Heh! My Fat Thief still has the demeanor! '
Charcoal was still swaying its head and tail, looking left and right at him with a smug look of admiration. It didn't seem to mind at all, and instead asked Miao Yi, "He seems to be angry at me. What do you mean by 'bastard'?"
"..." Miao Yi was speechless. It seemed this guy didn't know what a bastard meant. He then asked, "You've never heard people say 'bastard' before?"
"No! Is it a curse? Looking at how angry he is, he must be cursing me, right? "Charcoal asked.
"Forget it!" Miao Yi told it not to bother. He couldn't beat it anyway, and now wasn't the time to settle scores. A wise man knew better than to fight when the odds were against him.
Who would have thought that while he was pretending not to hear it, the Inferno Dragon Head's anger had yet to subside. It immediately explained to Charcoal in a furious voice, "A bastard is something born from crossbreeding. It's a lowly creature born from the crossbreeding of different things. How can a thing like you be called a dragon?"
Charcoal stared blankly at it for a while, then said, "I understand now. You mean I'm born from the crossbreeding of a dragon and a pegasus?"
Miao Yi also understood. This dragon soul was angry that Charcoal had tainted the bloodline of the dragon race. He knew that Charcoal wasn't a good person either. He was afraid that Charcoal wouldn't be able to control his anger and cause trouble, so he advised again, "Fat Thief, forget it."
Humans were like this. Even when things didn't happen to them, they could still advise others to calm down. However, they never thought that Miao Yi himself was also the target of advice from others.
Charcoal was still swaying its head and tail, not the least bit angry. It said indifferently, "He's right. I'm a bastard to begin with. This shouldn't be considered scolding, right? I'm just a little curious. If even I'm not considered a dragon, then he has even less right to call himself one. "
Miao Yi rolled his eyes. Inwardly, he scolded the idiot. The other party was a Dragon God, an ancestor-level existence of the Dragon Race. Who could still be considered a member of the Dragon Race?
The Fiery Dragon Head laughed angrily. "A worm will always be a worm. You've already admitted that you're a bastard, so I won't argue with you."
Charcoal had a strange look on his face as he said, "What's there to fuss about with me? I'm just a bastard made from two. You're a bastard made from eight. You're even more of a bastard than me. Aren't you just looking for trouble if you continue to bicker with me? "Listening to his tone, he seemed to be quite pleased with himself, as if it was good that he didn't bicker with him.
"..." Miao Yi was instantly dumbstruck. He stared at Charcoal in astonishment. No wonder this guy didn't think much of it. It turned out that this guy had such a strange way of understanding things. It seemed like there were benefits to understanding the word 'bastard'.
"What did you say?" The Inferno Dragon Head was enraged.
"Alright, I was wrong. It's not like I can beat you anyway." Charcoal wagged his tail and obediently admitted defeat. It was clear that a wise man did not fight when the odds were against him. He did not think that he was in the wrong.
F * ck! Miao Yi finally realized that ignorance was also a kind of bliss. He also noticed that the Inferno Dragon Head's flames were visibly trembling violently. He knew that Charcoal's unreasonableness had angered the dragon.
Actually, he was also a little unhappy with the Inferno Dragon Head. After all, it was the other party who had scolded him first. Even if this hadn't happened, he would still stand on Charcoal's side. He hurriedly stood in front of Charcoal and chuckled. "Since Senior doesn't like it, then why bother with it?"
"You think I'm going to argue with it? A worm. Is it worthy? " The Inferno Dragon Head snorted coldly. Its figure flashed and disappeared. The raging flames above the pool of fire once again reverted to their dragon form.
Miao Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and waved at Charcoal. "Follow me."
Charcoal casually followed behind Miao Yi and walked towards the back of the hall. Just as he was about to turn the corner, he turned around and scolded, "Spineless thing!"
Buzz! The flames in the Dragon Flame Pool changed. The Inferno Dragon Head appeared again. It stared at Charcoal and shouted, "Worm, what did you say?"
Charcoal pretended not to hear anything. With a whoosh, it hurriedly turned the corner and ran inside.
Miao Yi was left dumbfounded and speechless. Miao Yi then quickly changed the topic. "Senior, there's something I find strange. I realized that some of the Evil Spirits here have collected quite a lot of valuables, but I don't see any transcendent artifacts here. Could it be that none of the cultivators who barged in here carried any transcendent artifacts?"
The Inferno Dragon Head snorted coldly. "Looks like you've encountered an Evil Spirit with a huge amount of wealth!"
Miao Yi said, "That's right. I've encountered a few Evil Spirits that have escaped the Celestial Court's purge twice."
The Inferno Dragon Head said, "Do you really think that those Evil Spirits can escape the purge of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans in the Primordial Era?"
Miao Yi was stunned. He had originally asked casually with the goal of diverting the other party's attention from Charcoal. He didn't expect that he would actually get something out of it. After pondering for a moment, he seemed to understand something. He said in surprise, "Could it be that the Dragon and Phoenix Clans intentionally let them go?"
The Inferno Dragon Head said, "You guessed it right! One of the main reasons why the Celestial Court made a move against the Primordial Era all those years ago was the wealth left behind by the cultivators in the Primordial Era. When the Celestial Court was first established, they urgently needed a large amount of wealth to stabilize the structure of the Celestial Court. After making a move against the Primordial Era, they took away a large amount of wealth from the Dragon and Phoenix Clans. However, this is only a portion of the wealth in the Primordial Era. Because the wealth isn't of much use to the Dragon and Phoenix Clans in the Primordial Era, there are a lot of wealth scattered all over the place. The Dragon and Phoenix Clans usually don't deliberately collect them. When the Evil Spirits appear, they will naturally collect them and make use of them. Knowing that the Celestial Court will purge the Evil Spirits, do you think we will let these things fall into the hands of the Celestial Court again? "
Miao Yi instantly understood. "So you deliberately let some of the Evil Spirits go?"
The Inferno Dragon Head said, "You could say that. However, there's no other way. The Dragon and Phoenix Clans are both imprisoned in the Celestial Court. The strength of the Dragon's Cave and Phoenix's Nest have been weakened by the Celestial Court, so they are no longer in a position to make a move against the Evil Spirits in the Primordial Era. Thus, they could only send some Evil Spirit experts to make a move against the other Evil Spirits and collect the wealth scattered in the Primordial Era. When the Celestial Court purged the Evil Spirits, they naturally had to let them go in order to prevent those wealth from falling into the hands of the Celestial Court again. "
Miao Yi nodded. "What about the transcendent artifacts? Don't tell me there aren't any transcendent artifacts among the wealth collected by the Evil Spirits? "
The Inferno Dragon Head said, "Of course there are transcendent artifacts. However, the strength of the Dragon's Cave and Phoenix's Nest is already at this level. If we let those stronger Evil Spirits control a large number of transcendent artifacts, do you think we can still stop those Evil Spirits from coveting the evil source? One of the conditions for letting those Evil Spirits go is that they have to hand over all the transcendent artifacts they have collected. If they want to enter the evil source, they can use any method except transcendent artifacts. If we threaten them here, we will immediately notify the Celestial Court to exterminate them. They have no choice but to comply. "
Miao Yi's eyes brightened. "In other words, those transcendent artifacts are all in your hands?"
The Inferno Dragon Head said, "No! We won't let them use their transcendent artifacts, so naturally, they won't let us use our transcendent artifacts either. Otherwise, how would they have the chance to enter the evil source? They aren't as stupid as you think. They won't do something as troublesome as handing over their transcendent artifacts to us. This is also one of the conditions they agreed to. The lava lake outside is where the treasures are buried. All the transcendent artifacts they have collected have been thrown into the lava lake in front of both parties and destroyed in front of everyone. "
Miao Yi immediately sighed. "That's truly a pity."
Raging Inferno Dragon Head: "There's nothing to be pitiful about. If you're not strong enough, you won't be able to overturn the heavens with just a few Dharma treasures. Those are, after all, auxiliary items. They can't block the attacks of the Heavenly Court's army and can't decide who the world belongs to. Of course, even though the transcendent artifacts are gone, there are still quite a lot of transcendent artifact refining materials deposited at the bottom of the lava lake. Since you have completed the task entrusted to you by the Phoenix Clan, you can come and collect them when you need them in the future. Consider it a token of appreciation! "
Miao Yi's eyes brightened again. 'That's right!' A transcendent artifact usually required a lot of essence powder. It wasn't something a weapon or armor could compare to. One could only imagine the amount of materials deposited at the bottom of the lava lake. His heart immediately warmed up. "Since Senior is so generous, it would be impolite for me to refuse."
The Inferno Dragon Head said, "Don't be too happy yet. Wait until you have a way to bring those things out."
"…" Miao Yi was speechless. That was right. He would be searched by the guards when he entered the Primordial Wastelands. If he couldn't get past the guards, he wouldn't be able to bring those things out. Otherwise, if the Heavenly Court found out about it, he would be guilty even if he wasn't guilty. A man's wealth was his own ruin!
As such, he had a headache. Not only did he have to deal with the transcendent artifact refining materials deposited at the bottom of the lava lake, he also had to deal with the huge amount of wealth he had obtained from Yu Sha and the others. How was he going to bring them out?
No matter how he thought about it, it wasn't like he couldn't come up with a solution. Coincidentally, the outside was Star Lord Tian Mao's territory. The entrance to the Primordial Wastelands was also guarded by Star Lord Tian Mao's men. It seemed like he could only slowly think of a solution from Star Lord Tian Mao.
When he raised his head again, he realized that the Inferno Dragon Head had already disappeared. The flames were twisting like a swimming dragon.
Inside the underground palace, Miao Yi led Charcoal into the underground palace. After making sure there was no one around, he kicked Charcoal's corner and scolded, "Don't you know that it's easy for you to cause trouble when you open your mouth? I told you not to speak carelessly. Didn't you hear me? "
Charcoal replied, "Don't worry. I won't bicker with him. When the day comes that I can defeat him, I will definitely tear down his nest and make him angry."
'He's so vengeful, and he still dares to say he won't bicker with him?' Miao Yi warned, "If you are still interested in this evil essence and want to stay here, then you better keep that stupid mouth of yours shut."
Looking at the eight evil essences, Charcoal's eyes sparkled. All of his anger was gone, and he shut his mouth. He strolled over, leaped onto the stone couch, and lay down on the mouth of the evil essence to enjoy himself.
Miao Yi then leaped into the deep well that was emitting the evil aura to investigate. He examined all eight evil essences, but he didn't find anything. He only discovered that there were actually four evil essences here as well. It was just that there were eight eyes on each of them.
After climbing out, he looked at the empty underground palace. He didn't know if the eight dragon skeletons would return to their original state in the future.
