When the sky turned dark, Lu Qingshan and Hidden Sword finally arrived at Jiao Dragon City.
In a city that belonged to a sect, flying directly into the city was a very reckless act. Therefore, the two slowly landed and prepared to enter the city through the city gate.
Lu Qingshan kept the Peach Wood Sword in the storage ring, and the Hidden Small Sword was also the sword that she was temporarily using.
It was a sword at the level of a middle-grade spiritual weapon.
For a Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator, if they had a Life Sword of the mid-grade Spiritual Artifact quality as a starting point, it could be said that they could not wish for anything more.
However, in the hands of the small sword, such a spiritual weapon was only a sword that was temporarily used.
The origin of the hidden small sword was obvious.
When entering the city, Lu Qingshan once again felt the black-hearted and tyrannical nature of the Neptune Sect.
This was because at the city gate, there were city guards that belonged to the Neptune Sect. They collected a considerable amount of money from people who entered the city.
This was something unimaginable in a city under the jurisdiction of the Da Xia Kingdom.
But even so, because it was the only city on Jiao Dragon Island, there were still many people in the city. There were many shops on both sides of the city. Compared to a county city in the Da Xia Kingdom, the city was no less prosperous.
This was a monopoly.
.....
After entering the city, Hidden Sword's big eyes looked around. While scanning the city's environment, she asked, "Where are we going next?"
"Why don't we go eat first? Aren't you guys hungry after traveling for so long?!" The Western Rat King was the first to stand up and make a suggestion. At the same time, he shook his head and showed off, "As the saying goes, food and sex are human nature …"
Hidden Sword could not help but laugh. With a smile in his eyes, he gave the West Rat King a thumbs up. "This book bag is really good!"
After receiving Hidden Sword's praise, the Western Rat King became even more proud. The red mane on his head was about to stand up.
"Let's get down to business first. Let's see if we can find any traces of that underground organization." Lu Qingshan chose to ignore the Western Rat King's words.
…
This was a plaza located in the center of Jiao Dragon City. It was also the most prosperous place.
"Isn't this a little too impressive?" The Western Rat King exclaimed as soon as they arrived.
Because in the center of the square stood a huge black iron flood dragon statue. It was hundreds of meters tall and was made of molten iron. Its entire body was faintly black and flickered with a dark light.
The four claws of the flood dragon statue were sharp, revealing traces of coldness. There were two extremely short horns on the head of the flood dragon, and there were extremely ferocious protrusions above the eyes and eyebrows.
This was the flood dragon demon monarch that ruled the Sea God Islands, the so-called Sea God.
Lu Qingshan raised his head and gazed at the black iron flood dragon statue for a long time.
"This is where the ceremony will be held. The cultivators of the Sea Divinity Sect will worship the child in front of the Jiao Dragon statue to show their respect to the Sea God," Hidden Sword said.
"Lu Qingshan, aren't you looking for that underground force? What are you doing here? "the Western Rat King asked in confusion.
"To find out the truth," Lu Qingshan replied.
"To find out the truth?" The Western Rat King was even more confused.
Lu Qingshan withdrew his gaze from the flood dragon statue and looked around. He explained, "If you have an enemy, you will definitely pay attention to them at all times."
"This is the subconscious behavior of people. It won't change no matter what."
The Western Rat King was confused. Its little head clearly didn't understand the meaning of Lu Qingshan's words.
"So if there really is an underground force that wants to overthrow the Sea Divinity Sect, they will definitely secretly watch the ceremony on the day of the ceremony even if they don't want to cause trouble!" Hidden Sword instantly understood the meaning of Lu Qingshan's words.
Lu Qingshan nodded and added, "Yes, and if it's just one person, they might be able to suppress their desire to come to the ceremony. However, if it's a huge force and they have many people, they won't be able to stop everyone from coming to the ceremony."
After carefully observing the surrounding buildings, Lu Qingshan finally fixed his gaze on a four-story restaurant in the corner. He said to the Western Rat King, "Aren't you hungry? Let's go eat! "
The Western Rat King was stunned. It couldn't keep up with Lu Qingshan's pace. However, when it heard that they were going to eat, it couldn't care less.
…
In a private room on the fourth floor of the restaurant, cups and plates were scattered all over the table.
However, this time, Hidden Sword wasn't as carefree as the Western Rat King. Instead, he looked out of the window and said softly, "Although this restaurant is located in a remote area, we can see the entire square from the top floor. However, because it's in a corner, it won't be conspicuous."
For the cultivators of the underground force, this place was undoubtedly one of the best places to observe the ceremony on the day of the ceremony.
The Western Rat King looked up at the two people. He felt that there was a deeper meaning to their conversation, but he couldn't figure it out. He shook his head and focused on eating.
Hidden Sword pondered for a moment. "Moreover, even if they aren't here on the day of the ceremony and blend in with the crowd in the square, this place is the best place to observe them."
Working with smart people was undoubtedly a lot easier. Lu Qingshan looked at Hidden Sword with an approving gaze and nodded. "Not bad."
Lu Qingshan called the waiter over and handed him a rather heavy piece of silver. He booked a table on the fourth floor of the restaurant in advance for the day of the ceremony.
…
For the next three days, Lu Qingshan and Hidden Sword wandered around the city. They mingled in various restaurants and learned a lot of information and interesting anecdotes.
For example, the most talented patriarch of the Mo Family in Longquan suddenly became addicted to alcohol a hundred years ago. He was addicted to alcohol and couldn't be happier without it.
There were also rumors about the Flood Dragon Clan. It was said that their king had been dormant for a thousand years, and his fifth claw was close to transforming.
The Flood Dragon Clan was just a name given to the Flood Dragon Clan. In reality, those who didn't have five claws weren't considered dragons.
Only those with four claws were considered Flood Dragons. Only those with five claws could truly be called Flood Dragons.
Monsters had extremely long lifespans. Once the Flood Dragon King successfully grew his fifth claw, his lifespan would be extended again. By then, the people on the Sea God Islands would never have a day of peace.
There was also the volcano that could devour cultivators. It was named Lingyuan by the people on the islands. It was located fifty miles north of Flood Dragon City.
When it spewed out a mist that filled the sky, people in Jiao Dragon City could even enjoy the beautiful rainbow that followed. It was a rare and unique sight.
However, the more beautiful something was, the more dangerous it was. Above Lingyuan, birds were forbidden. Once they got close to Lingyuan, they would be sucked in by the enormous suction force.
For thousands of years, no one had ever heard of anyone who fell into Lingyuan and escaped unscathed.
The many rumors, both true and false, allowed Lu Qingshan to finally have a systematic understanding of the situation on this island.
