Yun Zheng thought about this and walked down the stairs.

When she was about to reach the bottom, the breath of an ancient mythical beast was getting closer and closer, and she had an inexplicable premonition in her heart.

Getting closer!

Yun Zheng's eyes narrowed, and her body and mind were alert and cautious. When she walked down the last step, she looked up and her pupils shrank slightly.

"This is……"

In the distance ahead, there was a faint barrier separating the inside from the outside, and inside was a... dark blue dragon!

It has two horns on its head, scales on its body, five claws, and is majestic and powerful. Just one look at it is enough to scare people away.

However, Qinglong's body was bound by huge iron chains, and its exposed skin seemed to be slowly corroded by the long years, and its appearance had shown signs of decay.

Moreover, a huge hole was dug out at the location of Qinglong's heart...

"This is my dragon body." The old green dragon in the Fengxing space suddenly said.

"That man wanted to use the essence of my heart to prolong his life. I almost defeated him, but in the end, I escaped by shedding my shell to save my own life."

Yun Zheng listened to Old Qinglong's explanation, and her eyes gradually became cold. She wanted to get Siqing's dragon body back, even if it was damaged!

There was another person in the distance ahead.

This person was the old man that he met on the White Mist Ladder. He stared at the dragon body within the barrier with greedy eyes.

Suddenly, he turned around and shouted sharply, "Who is it?"

When the old man saw that the person coming was Yun Zheng, his guard was slightly reduced.

"It's you." He said coldly.

A sweet smile appeared on Yun Zheng's face, and she called out with a smile on her face, "Senior."

Seeing this, Mr. He had an idea and waved to her, saying in a gentle tone, "Come here."

"Senior, do you want to kill me?"

Hearing this, Old He stared intently at the girl in red in the distance. Then, with a smile on his face, he said, "How could that be? I'm in need of a helper right now. Do you see this dragon body?"

When he said this, he raised his hand and pointed at the dragon's body within the barrier.

Yun Zheng nodded.

He Lao smiled and persuaded, "Come and help me open the barrier, and I will give you three dragon claws. Little girl, I don't need to tell you how precious the dragon claws are, right?!"

The dragon claws of ancient mythical beasts are the best materials for refining weapons.

Yun Zheng's delicate little face showed a hint of excitement. She frowned and seemed to be in deep thought for a few seconds. Then she looked up at He Lao warily and asked, "Senior, you won't go back on your word after this is done, right?"

"How could that be?" Mr. He's wrinkled face was slightly solemn.

Yun Zheng pondered for a moment before making one final request: "I also want dragon scales."

When Mr. He heard this, he sneered in his heart. If he wanted dragon scales... he would have to wait for his next life!

This little girl is brave and insightful, but she is obviously inexperienced in the world.

If it weren't for the fact that she was quite skilled in climbing the ladder, he would have killed her just now.

He could break the barrier by himself, but he couldn't bear the consequences.

Because this is a sacrificial formation!

To break the barrier, one must first sacrifice one's flesh and blood to absorb most of the formation's power. Then, one must find the four points of the barrier's core and aim to break it.

Ordinary people simply cannot withstand such a powerful sacrificial array power...

But the red-dressed girl in front of him was really clever. She must be quite talented, so she could barely perform the ritual!

Mr. He smiled and said, "I can give you the dragon scales." As long as you are alive to accept them.

"Then it's a pleasure to work with you." Yun Zheng's eyes lit up when she heard it, and she tried hard to suppress the joy on her face.

She took a step forward and walked towards Mr. He.

Old He glanced at her with an ambiguous look, then fixed his gaze on the Azure Dragon within the barrier, his eyes revealing a determination to win.

God helps me.

The moment he turned around, the smile on Yun Zheng's face disappeared and she raised her eyebrows slightly.

At this time, He Lao pointed to the right and said, "You stand here and use all your strength to attack this barrier."

"Okay." Yun Zheng nodded.

'boom--'

The girl immediately condensed a fireball and smashed it hard towards the barrier.

When Mr. He saw this scene, he was a little stunned. Her cultivation level was only at the Jiesheng realm.

He Lao asked doubtfully, "Are you hiding your strength?"

"No," Yun Zheng denied, revealing an awkward smile. "Although it's a bit embarrassing, my cultivation is indeed at the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Realm."

"Then why were you able to climb the ladder so quickly?" Old He became suspicious and asked with murderous intent in his narrowed eyes.

"Because I entered a cemetery before, I encountered the remaining consciousness of a powerful person. Seeing my extraordinary talent, he told me how to climb the ladder."

Yun Zheng was afraid that he wouldn't believe her, so she told him the easier way to climb the ladder.

After listening to this, Mr. He’s doubts were somewhat dispelled.

Yun Zheng looked up at him and asked nervously, "Senior, you don't want to cooperate with me anymore, do you?!"

"I don't need dragon scales, I only need three dragon claws."

Her tone was a little anxious, as if she was afraid of missing this opportunity for cooperation.

Mr. He suddenly smiled and said to comfort her, "What you deserve should still be given, but it's better to ask for clarification on some things."

"Continue the attack."

"Okay!" Yun Zheng seemed to be encouraged after hearing these words, and attacked the barrier with all her might.

"Boom boom boom—"

A hint of sarcasm appeared on Old He's lips. He glanced at her lightly, then withdrew his gaze, stepped on the ground and floated in the air.

He just stretched out both palms, and a force of wind attribute instantly poured out.

"Bang!"

The barrier trembled violently, and then countless forces seemed to surge towards Yun Zheng's location within the barrier, strangling her.

"it hurts!"

Yun Zheng immediately looked towards He Lao and asked in horror, "He Lao, why is the power of the barrier attacking me?!"

Seeing this, He Lao smiled sinisterly and said, "You want dragon claws? You want dragon scales? You're just a chess piece of mine. Hahahaha, if you know what's good for you, just sacrifice yourself and make a small contribution to my future..."

"You lied to me!" She shouted angrily while resisting the power of the formation.

Mr. He commented condescendingly, "Foolish and ignorant."

The red-dressed girl suddenly snorted, raised her cold phoenix eyes and stared at the old man above her. A cold and indifferent voice rang out: "The foolish and ignorant person should be you!"
