CHAPTER 1246: CHAPTER 1243: FULONG RIDGE

————

Within the vast starry sky.

Ye Xuan and his two companions flew through the air.

On the way.

Ye Xuan asked again, "Xinyu, have you found out who is targeting you?"

Qiao Xinyu shook her head slightly and said, "I haven’t found out."

Earlier, Ye Xuan had asked about her marriage arrangements and mentioned that someone was trailing her.

However, when Qiao Xinyu spread the news of Emperor Ye slaying the Spider Emperor and returned to the Immortal Crossing Sect to investigate, she found no clues.

"Did you check the Southern Dipper Ancient Country and Immortal Crossing Sect?" Ye Xuan asked.

"Only checked the Immortal Crossing Sect," Qiao Xinyu replied.

Ye Xuan glanced at Qiao Xinyu, "Why not check the Southern Dipper Ancient Country."

The expression beneath Qiao Xinyu’s veil became somewhat strange. After hesitating, she said, "I’ll check when we return."

Ye Xuan’s heart stirred slightly, and he said softly, "Did you have conflicts with the Southern Dipper Ancient Country?"

Qiao Xinyu did not hide her feelings and nodded honestly, "My mother and I lived very bitterly in the Southern Dipper Ancient Country."

Ye Xuan said, "After we return to Dingzhou, you should first investigate the Southern Dipper Ancient Country. I’ll make a trip to the Death Netherworld, and we’ll meet at Dou Su Palace."

Dou Su Palace?

Qiao Xinyu was a bit stunned, but she still agreed obediently.

Soon, Ye Xuan found another suitable Void Node and used the power of the Taixu Pearl to traverse the void.

When they reached the end of the void and emerged, they had arrived on a vast, boundless continent.

In the distance was a surging river, while they stood on a small mountain peak, just able to see it.

Fierce beasts roared all around, and there was no sign of human habitation.

Qiao Xinyu actively flew into the sky, surveyed for a while, then returned to Ye Xuan’s side, whispering, "Emperor Ye, this place is the Fulong Ridge, part of the Dingzhou White Dragon Mountain Range, and is not far from the Death Netherworld."

As she spoke, Qiao Xinyu produced a map, spread it out before Ye Xuan, and pointed out the directions.

The location she indicated was precisely where they were standing, in the map’s depiction, at the center of the White Dragon Mountain Range’s spine.

Afterward, Qiao Xinyu slid her finger over to a black dot marked with the words Death Netherworld.

The Death Netherworld was indeed not far from the White Dragon Mountain Range, estimated at fifty thousand miles away.

For mortals, this distance would be extremely far, but for cultivators, it’s not a significant concern.

"Fulong Ridge..."

Ye Xuan did not look at the Death Netherworld. His gaze shifted from the map to the distant rushing river, reminiscing about a bygone era.

Back then, there was no White Dragon Mountain Range here, only a small river and a vast plain.

Later, a dragon-slaying battle occurred here.

That battle resulted in a True Dragon falling here. After people took treasures from the dragon’s body, its remains transformed into what is now the White Dragon Mountain Range spanning Dingzhou.

The nearby small river thus benefited, evolving into a grand river.

Ye Xuan did not participate in that battle.

At that time, he was under the manipulation of the Emperor Burial Lord.

He had hidden in the shadows, witnessing the entire dragon-slaying battle.

If he remembered correctly, after the True Dragon fell, people collected treasures but could never find the most precious Dragon Ball.

But lurking in the shadows, Ye Xuan saw clearly that the Dragon Ball transformed into the most ordinary carp in the small river, flowing away and disappearing.

"What’s wrong, Emperor Ye?"

Seeing Ye Xuan lost in thought, Qiao Xinyu softly asked.

Ye Xuan returned his focus and said slowly, "There is a great opportunity here. Let’s see who among you can seize it."

"Opportunity?"

Qiao Xinyu and the East Desolate Wolf were both taken aback, then exchanged glances.

Almost instantly, Qiao Xinyu and the East Desolate Wolf simultaneously flew away from Ye Xuan, beginning to sweep the surroundings.

Ye Xuan lightly tapped his toes and reached a higher mountain peak, descending at the cliff’s edge.

The mountain winds billowed, causing Ye Xuan’s long, snow-white hair to flutter.

Ye Xuan took the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd from his waist and drank wine.

Both Qiao Xinyu and the East Desolate Wolf acted swiftly, continuously searching.

The East Desolate Wolf, once in the forest, showcased his fierce wild nature, occupying a great advantage.

Meanwhile, Qiao Xinyu scanned inch by inch using her Divine Sense.

After the East Desolate Wolf entered the forest, Qiao Xinyu promptly turned and rushed into the grand river.

Moments before, standing beside Ye Xuan, Qiao Xinyu clearly sensed that Ye Xuan’s gaze rested mostly on the grand river.

Thus, the opportunity might very well be hidden within it.

The East Desolate Wolf was darting through the forest, stirring birds into flight and beasts into motion.

Everything became chaotic.

But the next moment, every monster and beast seemed to sense boundless terror, silenced entirely, crouching in submission.

Even the East Desolate Wolf felt a pang of fear.

"It is the True Dragon’s might!"

The East Desolate Wolf shuddered inside.

As a descendant of ancient fierce beasts, he could ignore the usual Divine Beast aura.

But the True Dragon’s aura remained unyieldingly irresistible.

Could there possibly be a True Dragon within these mountains!?

Impossible!

The East Desolate Wolf’s heart trembled massively.

Rumble!

As astonishment crossed the East Desolate Wolf’s face, a terrifying quake ensued, making the earth tremble and forest beasts whimper in fear.

The East Desolate Wolf looked up and saw, in the distance, a gigantic Fierce Beast erupted skyward, water splashing wildly.

Above the terrifying beast was a woman dressed in black, wearing a black veil!

"Damn!"

The East Desolate Wolf couldn’t help but curse.

It truly was True Dragon Bloodline!

The East Desolate Wolf could only return humbly to Ye Xuan’s side.

"It seems the opportunity belongs to Xinyu," Ye Xuan chuckled slightly, reattaching the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd to his waist.

White hair, white clothing, white gourd.

Like a painting.

In the distance, the terrifying Fierce Beast emerged from the grand river.

Entirely snow-white, it was a White Dragon!

Its body length was unknown, churning the river in reverse, causing numerous fish and shrimp to perish.

Qiao Xinyu stood atop the White Dragon’s head, exuding boundless dominance.

Finally, the enormous form of the White Dragon emerged completely out of the water, carrying Qiao Xinyu, soaring through the sky.

Covering the sky and blocking the sun.

Bringing unparalleled awe!

This White Dragon was neither the old Heavenly Dragon of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty nor the Dragon Carp of the Divine Dragon Azure Sea Long Family; it was a genuine True Dragon Bloodline!

In an instant, every demon beast within the Fulong Mountain Range was startled.

They ruled the mountains but were utterly unaware of such an overlord existing within!

Rumble————

Accompanying the True Dragon’s emergence, the sky above was enveloped in thunderclouds, dark and heavy, with rolling thunder resounding and lightning streaking across.

Moments later, torrential rain poured down.

Dragons can summon clouds and rain.

The appearance of a True Dragon can even trigger Heaven and Earth Phenomena.

Although this White Dragon was not yet a True Dragon, with the True Dragon Bloodline, it could still darken the sky!
