“So, you’ve been deceiving me all along, haven’t you?” She trembled as she lifted her gaze, only to find that her senior brother’s once-familiar face now seemed terrifyingly foreign.
<...Long Long, Long Hu, Qin Zhou and Qin Ye were brought back to Shenlong Island by the ancestor Canglong.
Clan leader Qin Beiwang did not say anything about Long Long secretly running away to endure the tribulation of transformation.
Rather, because the transformation tribulation is so crucial, there are many little dragons within the Canglong clan, and it has long been common for them to secretly run outside to survive the tribulation.
Therefore, the tribe leader just muttered in his heart, "This child still doesn't trust the tribe," and asked them to go back and rest early.
Under the pretext of continuing his retreat and cultivation, Longhu was once again sent to the underwater palace.
The reason for the quarantine this time was much simpler: her relationship with Long Long was too good, and she needed to cool it down to buy more time for Qin Ye to gain favor.
Otherwise, after Long Long gets married in the future, if he favors the fox like King Zhou did and neglects Qin Ye, where will the Canglong clan, as Qin Ye's maternal clan, keep their face?
Unfortunately, although the tribe created opportunities for Qin Ye, the little female dragon was really disappointing. She was shy when staying with Long Long in private and insisted that her brother be by her side.
Long Long was also helpless about this. If you always let your brother stay by our side, then we won’t be able to... understand?
If you don’t understand, then there is nothing to say.
Without further ado, Long Long originally thought that after returning to his clan, the Canglong clan would arrange some work for him, a newly transformed cultivator, just like human sects.
After confirming it several times, he realized that the only task assigned to him by the tribe was to become stronger.
Since the dragon clan only divides members according to bloodline, even a demon with a lower bloodline level can enter smoothly as long as it is a dragon clan member.
Therefore, the number of people in the Canglong clan is far greater than that of the Kunlun Taiqing Sect, so there is naturally no shortage of clansmen willing to do worldly affairs. Long Long, you should just concentrate on your cultivation.
This is fine, who doesn’t like to slack off?
Long Long confirmed that the tribe's attention to him had cooled, so he said calmly:
"Ajing, teleport!"
…
After being teleported back to the secret realm of Shenlong Island, I saw that the sky in the secret realm was now gray, which was completely different from the sunny and bright weather when it was opened before.
According to the map markings on the jade slip, Longlong had a smooth journey and soon arrived at the corresponding ruins.
The house here is also built with large pieces of gray stone. The porch and rooms are connected, and the whole view can be seen at a glance.
Long Long checked every room, but not only was there no entrance to the tunnel, he couldn't even find the common tables, chairs, beds or cabinets. They were all empty.
The old rules require you to use only your strongest means.
"Ajing, scan!"
"At the end of this corridor." Kunlun Mirror replied, "The back is hollow."
Long Long walked along the corridor to the end and knocked a few times with his hands.
The Echo Display is solid, and there's nothing around it that looks like a switch.
But, so what?
Long Long put his palms together, and as his true energy surged, the acquired five elements extinction divine light poured out from his palms.
When the light shone into the stone wall, it immediately melted and collapsed like mud, revealing a cave inside.
Long Long stepped into the tunnel cautiously and activated the Universal Clear Sound Small Light Technique at his fingertips, illuminating the road ahead.
The tunnel was built in a very crude way. Not to mention the internal lighting, even the walls and floor were uneven.
After walking for about an hour, Long Long finally reached the end of the cave, which was also blocked by a wall made of gray stones.
He emitted the Five Elements Divine Light again, which melted the wall. Then he passed through the hole in the wall and entered a place that was suspected to be an underground palace.
"A Jing, I'm relying on you this time." Long Long said calmly, "These are things that only immortals can handle. I can't handle them."
"Of course." Kunlun Mirror is very reliable. "Leave it to me."
"There is a trap under the floor ahead, be careful to avoid the middle column."
"There is a mechanism behind the wall ahead. You need to crawl on the ground, which is lower than the waist height of an average person."
"There is an enemy ahead, twelve feet away, approaching from the right corridor, be careful to avoid it."
With the mirror radar, Long Long's subsequent expedition went extremely smoothly, as if he had turned on a plug-in that allowed him to see through the entire map, perfectly avoiding any mechanisms and enemies.
This Ah Jing, when it comes to seeking benefits for himself, he really works very hard!
After despising the integrity of the Kunlun Mirror in his heart and sighing for a while about who had corrupted it, Long Long continued to move forward in silence.
As he gradually went deeper into the underground palace, Long Long discovered that he encountered enemies and traps more and more frequently.
Obviously, the outside was visited more often by the ancestors of the demon clan, so most of the mechanisms and enemies were cleared out. The further you go inside, the closer you get to the original appearance of the underground palace.
But Long Long felt a little puzzled. Since the ruins were formed naturally, why were there mechanisms that were obviously man-made?
"Because of the fragments of my body." Kunlun Mirror replied, "The mechanisms you see are all traps that it reproduced from various periods in the timeline of history."
"I see." Long Long said thoughtfully, "A Jing, I suddenly realized that each of your fragments seems to like staying in the palace very much, and is used to placing heavy protection around them."
"The area of the Xiwangmu Zhao Palace is an illusion of time going backwards; the area of the Dongji Palace under the Wuqi Chaoyuan Cave is an illusion of a space maze."
"The Mirror Lake Palace in Southern Xinjiang is an illusion of mirror monsters. But now in the underground palace of Shenlong Island, it's a maze of traps and mechanisms?"
"If you like palaces because you have lived in the palace of the Queen Mother of the West since you were born, then is it possible that you are used to setting up heavy protections because you are extremely insecure in your heart?"
Kunlun Mirror: ...
In the past, it would have subconsciously said, "Isn't this natural?"
However, having a full understanding of the character of this savior, Kunlun Mirror knew that when he said "he lacked a sense of security", it was definitely not just a casual chat.
There is an 80% chance that, as soon as you agree, he will then say something humiliating and teasing to you, which is really a jerk.
Therefore, Kunlun Mirror just smiled and said:
"Guan Shui, are you feeling sorry for me?"
Long Long was obviously stunned for a moment. Why didn't this guy play according to the rules?
I only heard Kunlun Mirror say:
"I am really touched by your kindness. But you don't have to comfort me. As long as you can find all the fragments for me as soon as possible, I will be very happy."
The muscles on Long Long's face twitched slightly. Po Jing had said it to this point, so of course he couldn't say "I don't feel sorry for you", otherwise he would have just said, "Oh, since you don't want to help me find the fragments, then you figure out how to go on your own", and Long Long would have gone crazy.
Therefore, he could only change the subject and ask:
"A Jing, if you gather all the fragments of the body, what powerful abilities will you gain?"
"I can beat you to death."
"ah?"
"I mean..." Kunlun Jing changed his words, "I can then come out of your sea of consciousness and help you deal with the enemy."
