When the divine palace appeared, only an extremely small number of human leaders and powerhouses knew about it.
When the divine palace disappeared, the news spread to all levels of the nine countries of the Divine Land.
That was the effectiveness of the information.
Grasping the news one step ahead of others meant being the first to reap the benefits.
For 10,000 years, it had been tried and tested.
"I heard that the dragon appeared in Kunlun Ruins and even barged into the divine palace …"
"So many humans couldn't even kill a single evil dragon. Are those human experts all freeloading? What, the Ten Thousand Spirit Jade Seal was stolen … "
"What if that dragon becomes the ruler of the human race? But that's impossible because the human race won't listen to the orders of an evil dragon … "

Within the nine countries, everyone talked about the divine palace and the evil dragon.
If Li Muyang's influence was limited to the influential figures in West Wind or the Divine Land.
This time, Li Muyang's reputation quickly spread throughout the nine countries of the Divine Land with the appearance of the divine palace.
Li Muyang was a young man in plain clothes from West Wind Jiangnan City …
Li Muyang was an evil dragon who specialized in eating people's livers …
Li Muyang had three heads and six arms …

Of course, whether it was scolding him for his brutality or attacking his appearance, no one denied his strength anymore.
Thousands of humans failed to slay the dragon. With a roar, no one dared to stop him, allowing him to take away the Ten Thousand Spirit Jade Seal that everyone was fighting for …
On the other hand, those experts who entered the Divine Palace but gained nothing, failed to slay the dragon, and caused the human race to suffer heavy losses, were ridiculed and looked down upon by the common people. They looked as if they had expected better from them, as if they were useless, and as if they had bought their reputations with money …
Heaven Capital. The small courtyard of the Cui Residence.
Winter had yet to arrive, and the cherry blossoms of Heaven Capital had yet to bloom.
However, the dense green leaves still completely covered the scorching sun above their heads. The stone pavilion was hidden under the shade of the trees, and it was the best place to hide from the summer heat.
It was unknown if it was because the winter last year was too cold, but after the winter, the sun began to become violent. Every day, it scorched the earth. The people of Tiandu were like thirsty fish in the pond, feeling like they would be roasted at any time.
In the pavilion, there was a stone table and four stone stools. A chessboard was placed on the stone table, and the game was nearing its end. Blackie was completely surrounded, and it seemed like he had no way out.
Two girls sat facing each other, one dressed in white and the other in a green skirt.
The girl in white held the black piece in her hand and sighed softly. "I've lost this round again."
The green-skirted girl smiled and threw the white piece in her hand. She said, "Your heart is not here. What fun is there in winning?"
"A win is a win. Princess, you don't have to be so polite."
Chu Ning waved her hand and said, "How many times have I told you, don't call me princess … What kind of princess am I? Their treatment is even worse than you girls from the House of High Dukes. "
"You're a member of the royal family after all …" Cui Xiaoxin smiled and comforted her.
"If I had a choice, I'd rather not be a member of the royal family. I'd rather not have the surname Chu … I'd rather be an ordinary citizen. I could do whatever I wanted and go wherever I wanted. Wouldn't my days be much happier than they are now? I'm just a little bird in a cage. My wings have long been cut off, and I've lost my freedom … "
"Princess, be careful with your words."
Chu Ning looked at Cui Xiaoxin's appearance and laughed.
"Don't worry. I only say this in front of you … On other occasions, I still have to put on the airs of a princess. The more people don't take me seriously, the more I have to take myself seriously. I know what I've said is taboo, but sister Xiaoxin is someone I trust. You won't betray me, right? "
After a pause, Chu Ning smiled and said, "Sister Xiaoxin is good at everything. It's just that she's too calm and cautious …"
Cui Xiaoxin picked up the tea that Taohong brought and sipped it. She said softly, "We always admire the beautiful scenery when it's in full bloom. But who knows how cold it is in winter?"
Chu Ning nodded and said, "We're all women with a bitter life."
"What else can we do besides accepting our fate?"
Chu Ning hesitated for a long time. In the end, she didn't let go of the curiosity in her heart. She said, "The wedding date is approaching. Are you really going to marry Song Tinyun of the Song family?"
"Do you have a better idea?" Cui Xiaoxin's eyelashes fluttered as she asked.
Chu Ning also had a helpless expression.
Both of them were women. It could be said that they were the vassals of two powerful forces. Who they wanted to marry, who was more beneficial to the family … they had no right to decide.
For women like them, if they liked this kind of thing, it was better to hide it in their hearts. They must not say it out loud. They would be laughed at.
"If it was in the past, I would be a little willful and make a scene. Even if the sky falls and the earth sinks, I will send you out … Father dotes on me. At most, I'll be grounded for a few days. But now, I'm afraid I'm powerless. Even if I want to do something, who will listen to me? "
"Forget it. I'm just saying it casually. "Cui Xiaoxin comforted. "They're all ready, how could they let me leave alone?"
"If only you had made a decision earlier — —" Chu Ning suddenly added. "When you were still in Jiangnan city, you two had already decided on your marriage — —"
"In that case, he would be even more embarrassed."
"Hey, since he's already the public enemy of the human race, he might as well snatch all the women he likes to be his wife — — Don't they say that the dragon's nature is that?"
"— —"

Tiandu. The old residence of the Song family.
In the past six months, the major event that affected the Song family the most was Song Chenxi's illness.
The people of the entire West Wind Kingdom knew that Song Chenxi was Song Gudu's darling, and his most beloved granddaughter.
However, because of the illness she had when she was born, Song Chenxi's old illness had relapsed, and it seemed that she would not be able to survive this winter.
The Song family had visited famous doctors, searched everywhere for secret methods, and Song Chenxi ate rare divine pills and elixirs like fried beans. However, her health did not improve, and instead showed signs of worsening.
Song Gudu was so anxious that he simply brought her to the old residence, and used his essential yuan qi to help her expel the cold air every day.
However, because Song Chenxi's physique was weak, and her illness was very special — —
No matter what she ate or drank, even the essential yuan qi that helped her expel the cold air, when it entered her body, it would soon be transformed into another kind of cold air.
In addition to not eating, drinking, and not being treated, would she not die faster?
"Grandfather, I'm fine." Song Chenxi was lying on the bed, her face pale and her eyes sunken. The lively and lovely girl, because of this serious illness, had almost lost all her brilliance. "Hurry up and go cultivate. Don't accompany me. Because if I affect Grandfather's cultivation, then it's Chenxi's fault. "
Song Gudu held his granddaughter's bony little hand, smiled and said, "Grandfather is already the best in West Wind, what does it matter if I practice or not? The most important thing is to see Chenxi get better soon, and travel around, draw and write without illness — — "
"Grandfather, I'm afraid — — I'm afraid I won't get better."
"Don't talk nonsense." Song Gudu snapped.
Seeing that his voice had scared his granddaughter, Song Gudu's expression gradually eased, and his voice became much gentler. "Chenxi will definitely get better. With Grandfather here, Chenxi will be fine. "
"Grandfather — —" Song Chenxi's eyes were red, clasping her grandfather's hand tightly.
"Good child." Song Gudu smiled. "You are Grandfather's good child."
It was only when Song Chenxi fell asleep that Song Gudu came out of her room.
Song Tao came over to greet him, wanting to ask about his sister's condition, but he knew that there would not be any improvement in a short time, and it would only make Grandfather worried. He might as well not ask, and go in to see her himself later.
"We've sent eight groups of people to search around Kunlun Ruins, but there has been no news until now. I'm afraid that Li Muyang — — that evil dragon has already left Kunlun — —"
"Is there any news from other sources?"
"All the spies of the nine countries have been active, but there has been no news about the whereabouts of the evil dragon from any side — —"
"Not in Kunlun Ruins, not in the nine countries of the divine continent — — where could he have gone?"
"That evil dragon is now the focus of all forces, and everyone has their eyes on him — — Could it be that he knows that all parties will be looking for his whereabouts, so he's trying to find a way to hide? He can soar to the Ninth Heaven, and hide in the deep sea. If he wants to hide, I'm afraid it won't be easy to find him — — "
"Pass down the order, the people of Kunlun Ruins will continue to search, and all the spies in the nine countries will be mobilized. As soon as there is the slightest sign of trouble, immediately send a message back — — Especially the Peacock and Black flame countries, pay close attention to them, and the spies in the palace can also be mobilized — —"
"Yes, Grandfather." Song Tao agreed.
Song Gudu waved his hand, saying, "Go, get busy."
Song Tao hurriedly left.
Song Gudu looked up at the sky.
The sun was shining brightly, but he felt a bone-chilling sense of grief and indignation.
"The will of Heaven is playing tricks on people." Song Gudu sighed softly. "The evil dragon's power has been formed, the calamity of the Song family — — should be on the evil dragon? Chenxi — — can she really save the Song family? "
