Hei Xiangling swallowed hard as she looked at the dragon in the sky, but soon she realized something was wrong!

"Fake! It's fake again!" Hei Xiangling exclaimed in exasperation.

Ji Jiuying, however, grasped the key point in her words: "Are you saying that everything here is fake?"

Hei Xiangling nodded, while Ji Jiuying frowned. This Azure Dragon was really well hidden, but the most urgent task was to find the exit from the mural.

Feng Qingxue seemed unable to understand what they were saying. Fake? Since it's inside a mural, that means everything here is fake! What's so surprising?

"Our most urgent task is to find the exit from the murals," Feng Che said.

A hint of apology flashed across Feng Qingxue's face: "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be trapped in this painting."

Ji Jiuying glanced at her. Over the course of their journey, she noticed that Feng Qingxue exuded a gentle and elegant temperament in every gesture. She was quick-witted, attentive, and good at reading people, but she was also straightforward and unpretentious, making people feel comfortable around her. This made Ji Jiuying feel more favorably toward her.

But having a good impression doesn't mean she trusts her, at least not for now.

“Miss Feng, there’s no need to blame yourself. Coming here was our own choice. Besides, we were trapped in the palace anyway. Since we discovered the strangeness of the murals and came in, we might as well give it a try,” Ji Jiuying said calmly.

These words lessened Feng Qingxue's self-blame considerably, and her goodwill towards Ji Jiuying doubled as well. "Okay."

As the group walked through the towering jungle, they felt the ancient aura and watched the dragons roam freely in the sky. Except for Hei Xiangling, the others were deeply awestruck and kept praising them.

The dragons and beasts in those murals seem to be unable to see them; even if they walk right in front of them, they pass right through their bodies.

Ji Jiuying raised an eyebrow; this was interesting.

Unbeknownst to them, the group arrived at the Dragon Palace, the very place where they had stood before falling into the black hole. The scene was the same, except that the dragons were no longer on the pillars.

The group looked around, but Ji Jiuying's gaze once again fell on the palace not far away.

“Let’s go inside the palace and see if the exit is depicted in the murals,” Ji Jiuying said.

The group nodded, finding it reasonable. They crossed the Dragon Palace Square, climbed the steps, and soon arrived at the palace gate.

Just as Ji Jiuying was about to go in, Feng Che stopped her, saying, "I'll go in first."

As she spoke, she stepped inside. Feng Qingxue's gaze fell on Ji Jiuying again. Who exactly was this young man? Why was Second Master Feng so nervous? Even Feng Yu had never been this nervous.

Inside the main hall, the scene was the same, except that the murals on the walls were gone, which made Ji Jiuying and the others frown.

"Hiss, why are there no murals here?" Hei Xiangling touched the wall in confusion.

"Could the exit not be here?" Yin Han looked around and found that apart from the absence of murals, nothing seemed different.

"Those damned dragons, they just love to do this kind of nonsense." As Hei Xiangling spoke, she walked to the dragon throne and lay down lazily.

Feng Qingxue looked at Hei Xiangling in surprise. This man was too bold. He actually dared to curse the dragons multiple times on the dragons' territory and even dared to sit in that position. The dragons were a divine race, sacred and inviolable in the human world.

At that moment, Hei Xiangling's hand accidentally touched a switch, and she suddenly felt empty before she could react.

ah!

A scream was drowned out from beneath the dragon throne. Ji Jiuying and the others were startled and rushed forward, "Xiang Ling!"

The group quickly arrived at the dragon throne. Feng Qingxue's attention had been focused on Hei Xiangling, so she also saw Hei Xiangling touch something.

“Look here.”

Beneath the armrest of the dragon throne, a small indentation caught the attention of several people.

"Did Xiangling fall in here because she bumped into this spot?"

Feng Qingxue didn't understand why a grown man's name sounded so girlish, but she didn't have time to think about it right now, so she just nodded and said, "Yes."

Ji Jiuying reached out and touched it gently. Sure enough, an opening appeared in the dragon throne. Hei Xiangling, who had been lying on it, fell off before she could react.

Little Phoenix and Xuanwu in the space were unusually excited after the dragon throne was opened. "Mother, Master, the dragon aura is so strong. This may be where the Azure Dragon is hiding."

Ling Xiao, however, was being suppressed by his bloodline on his wrist. "Quickly let me go back to the space."

Ji Jiuying was secretly alarmed. She put Ling Xiao back into her spatial storage and quickly said, "Let's go down too."

With that, he leaped down. Before they could react, the others followed suit. However, what they didn't know was that Hua Li had also touched the mural and been drawn inside.

Ji Jiuying steadied herself. The area beneath the dragon throne wasn't pitch black; instead, it was exceptionally bright, with corals and blue-glowing stones all around. But she had no interest in admiring any of it.

"Xiang Ling?"

"Xiang Ling? Where are you?"

Ji Jiuying's eyes flickered slightly. Since Xiaohuang'er could sense the aura of the Azure Dragon, Xiangling must have sensed it as well. Her heart sank. She looked at the several paths in front of her, randomly chose one, and walked over.

Meanwhile, Little Phoenix was released from the space in her true form by Ji Jiuying. Little Phoenix shrunk into a small form and stood on Ji Jiuying's shoulder. "Mother, with such a strong dragon aura, Xiangling is craving it. She must be going to find the Azure Dragon and then eat it."

"Mother, hurry up! If there's only one dragon, it'll be all over if she eats it."

Little Phoenix said anxiously.

The voice of evil fire echoed in his mind, "Woman, you must find her as soon as possible and stop her, or you may be punished by the laws of heaven!"

"What do you mean?" Ji Jiuying asked, puzzled.

"Think about it, before you made a contract with her, she would be struck by lightning as soon as she left that sea area, but she won't after you made a contract with her. How could the Divine Phoenix Clan easily let go of what the Kunpeng Clan did 30,000 years ago? Now they even want to plunder the Dragon Clan. I'm afraid the divine punishment that was originally on her will be transferred to you."

"Even if it doesn't transfer to you, as her contractor, you will still be subjected to lightning punishment."

Ji Jiuying's heart sank. Damn it, did they want to kill her? She closed her eyes and sensed her surroundings. She only knew her approximate location, but there were too many different paths in the same direction. She could only follow the direction and move forward.

Hei Xiangling kept swallowing. She had to eat the dragon before that brat arrived, or the brat would definitely not allow it.
