Being a human is hard, being a fox is even harder.
Gong Mengbi had no choice but to cling tightly to the thigh of the Mount Tai Goddess, aiming to pass the immortal official exam first.
Chapter 641: Borrowing the Moon from the Sky
Such a grand display was originally impossible, but the City God's absence from Gusu gave the Taihu Dragon God an opening. The several judges of the City God Temple were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, but no one dared to provoke his thundering wrath.
The mad old dragon stirred up the wind and clouds and summoned thunder. The whole Gusu was covered by a curtain of rain. In a few moments, it would be submerged in the sky-high water.
Under the well, the rainwater pouring in from the wellhead was not much, but the dying Du Heng felt hope.
Du Heng's eyes lit up and he tried to shout for help, but his jaw and throat, which had been cut open by the bone blade, made it impossible for him to make a dragon's roar.
The man in the scaled robe looked worried and asked, "Boss, why is it raining so heavily?"
The white elephant dragon said, "This is the old dragon looking for someone. He uses the wind and rain as his eyes and ears, searching the sky and the earth, looking for his son."
The man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The boss has chosen a good place."
The White Elephant Dragon didn't answer him, but asked Du Heng, "What do you think, Your Highness? If Your Highness hadn't told me about the Dragon God's abilities, I wouldn't have found such a wonderful place like this."
Tears of regret welled up in Du Heng's eyes.
He had boasted to the White Elephant Dragon that the old Dragon King could control wind and rain as his eyes and ears. Now he was stuck in a quagmire, with wind and rain unable to penetrate and the old Dragon King unable to find him. He was like holding the sword upside down, giving the other party an advantage.
Bai Xianglong looked at Du Heng's painful and regretful expression, and felt satisfied. The dragon ball floating between the two of them had already fallen in front of Bai Xianglong. In just a moment, it would sever its connection with Du Heng and become Bai Xianglong's treasure ball.
"Although your father's magical powers are vast, they can't fill this well." The White Elephant Dragon said leisurely, "The Great City God is in charge of Gusu. How could he allow him to act so presumptuously?"
Bai Xianglong didn't know that the City God was no longer in Gusu, but the fact was exactly as he expected. With a loud thunder, the heavy rain suddenly stopped.
The sky was still overcast, but the rain had stopped.
You can't see the sky from a well. When the White Elephant Dragon reached the critical moment of his practice, he still hadn't taken the Dragon Ball for himself, and he would not kill himself.
Therefore, he could not see the terrifying figure of the Taihu Old Dragon with a dragon head and a human body, breathing out wind and clouds and spewing thunder, in the thick black clouds above Gusu, which looked like thousands of upside-down mountains and valleys.
Opposite the old dragon, five ghosts and gods stood in the air, and a huge illusory wheel slowly rotated, stirring up endless water vapor like a waterwheel, circulating endlessly over and over again.
The entire sky was divided into two parts, one part was accompanied by the breathing of the old dragon of Taihu Lake, creating wind and clouds, and the other part was accompanied by the endless rotation of the water wheel.
When the dark clouds collided, endless lightning gushed out, as if billions of divine needles fell from the sky, and the thunder was deafening.
King Tonghui, who controlled the water wheel and served as the Five-Power God's advisor, shouted amidst the thunder: "Taihu Dragon God, why are you unleashing such wrath and bringing disaster upon the people of Gusu?"
The old dragon was surrounded by lightning and fire, and his divine robes shone with a dazzling brilliance, revealing his ferocious and furious face in a variety of angles and shadows before the five people. The old dragon angrily shouted, "Five-Directional Gods, I was looking for you! My son Duheng has been captured by one of your demons, the White Elephant Dragon, the master of Golden Turtle Island. His life is in danger, and you still haven't given me an explanation!"
King Tonghui looked a little surprised. He knew the White Elephant Dragon's ambition. He was full of ambition and greed, seeking to become a dragon from a snake. King Tonghui had such people under his command. General Tang Jie of the Water Department was also a snake-like dragon, and he was equally ambitious.
King Tonghui was not averse to such subordinates; the more ambitious and greedy they were, the easier it was to control them. He had initially thought this was the second solution to the Tang Jie, but he hadn't expected Bai Xianglong to be so ambitious and daring. Not only was he ambitious, but he almost succeeded!
It’s a pity that Shangfangshan and Liji Longzun have common interests, and it is impossible to offend Liji Longzun for the sake of a little white elephant dragon.
King Tonghui said, "This matter is due to our negligence in governing our subordinates. Please calm down, Long Zun. I will immediately send people to investigate and will bring His Highness back safely."
The old dragon said, "My son's life is hanging by a thread. Either you find him immediately, or I will do it myself!"
King Tonghui frowned and gave an order behind him. Countless Five-Demon Gods emerged from their shadows and flew into Gusu like a flock of crows, searching everywhere for the White Elephant Dragon.
Unfortunately, when Bai Xianglong was about to do this, he had already thought of a foolproof plan. Jin Ting Daxian's words fueled the fire, letting Bai Xianglong know that Shangfang Mountain was not a place where he could trust his life, and he was even more unwilling to be disturbed by them.
He used his old subordinates from Jinyuan Island in Taihu Lake, clearing out the front and rear beforehand, even at the cost of inflicting more damage, to erase the mark of Shangfang Mountain. Firstly, the weaker he was, the more he would gain from Du Heng; secondly, he had already planned to flee after the mission was accomplished and did not want to leave any traces that could be tracked.
King Tonghui even tried to use his Fate-Seeing Technique to find the White Elephant Dragon, but to no avail. The White Elephant Dragon had stolen Duheng's dragon energy and dragon pearl, and his fate had been drastically altered, leaving him unable to be determined by the Fate-Seeing Technique.
The old dragon of Taihu Lake waited for a quarter of an hour, but finally couldn't wait any longer. Not only the old dragon of Taihu Lake couldn't wait any longer, but the King of Wu couldn't wait any longer either.
Although the rain stopped, the clouds did not disperse.
The King of Wu wrote two documents with his own red brush, sealed them with his official seal, and burned them with the Dragon God of Taihu Lake and the God of Five Directions.
He denounced the former for disregarding the majesty of heaven and the law, and urged the latter to quickly break through the clouds and see the moon.
The two documents were delivered to the Taihu Old Dragon and the Five-Directions God by the spirits of the City God Temple. The Taihu Old Dragon flew into a rage and said, "My son is about to die, and yet you come to me and ask for the moon in exchange!"
He didn't know that the King of Wu was also eager to save his son. He threw the document, and thunder roared, and the storm started again.
Wutongshen knew everything about this matter, and since negotiations failed, he had no choice but to take action first.
King Tonghui could only activate the water wheel, and the sky split into two distinct dark clouds, with thunder roaring between them. King Tongze then raised the wind wheel and stood hand in hand with King Tonghui. A dark wind howled, and raging clouds swirled, rushing towards the Old Dragon of Taihu Lake.
King Tongfu said, "We can wait, but Your Highness cannot. I will go to the Wu Palace to borrow the Sky Moon. You two can persuade Long Zun to stay."
"Second brother, fifth brother, follow me."
King Tongfu, along with the three kings Tongyou, Tongji and others, went straight to the palace.
The King of Wu had a gloomy face and was extremely anxious. Finally, he met the Five-Directional God.
King Tongfu didn't waste any words. A golden wheel appeared behind him, and the sky wheel turned, breaking a gap in the endless dark clouds and borrowing the light of the full moon.
The moonlight fell on the palace, and the moon instrument immediately lit up. The red curse escaped towards the dark through the moon instrument.
King Tong Kuan was well versed in mediating the destiny and immediately recognized the ingenuity in it. He marveled at it and said, "Jin Ting has such a clever mind."
King Tongfu was not stingy and casually injected a stream of energy of creation into the Moon Phase Instrument, which revived the spirit in the instrument and transformed it into the virtual image of the Immortal Jin Ting.
The image said, "Brother, you are here? We are on our way to Yuezhou and will soon find the prince."
King Tongfu nodded and said, "Okay. I'll send Tongyou and Tongji to help you. We need a quick victory. Please ask the Great City God to return quickly. This old dragon has lost his son and has gone mad. Only by asking the Great City God can we pull his son out of Gusu."
The virtual image caught a ray of moonlight and turned into a jade plate, like a compass, pointing firmly towards Yuezhou.
"Second brother, fifth brother, follow the Moon Pointing Plate and you will definitely find me."
