Chapter 105 Liu Family Instructions
After a day of rest, the Qingling Sect once again stepped into the depths of the secret realm.
Senior sister Nan Ningxia, second senior brother Li Xiaoran, and nephew Shen Yuyan did not accompany them.
The vacant positions left by them were replaced by two disciples who volunteered to join.
Third Senior Brother Nangong Wentian’s condition has stabilized and he is still in the team, but his face looks a little pale.
Xiaobai clenched her fists and followed closely behind Junior-disciple Liu Fufeng. She didn't know why the Heavenly Book wanted her to follow Liu Fufeng since last night.
At this moment, Liu Fufeng was not the gentle and wise senior brother he usually was. He walked in front, looking intently at an ancient animal skin map.
This was something Fan Wuzhi had specially purchased at a high price. After all, after the first day, some cultivators would make two copies of the map and sell them privately.
The team marched along the edge of the black mist forest filled with a faint fishy and salty smell, their destination being the unknown area near the Endless Sea.
Liu Fufeng was a little unhappy when he saw that the target was the sea.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the humming sound of the fog being blown by the wind.
Liu Fufeng walked steadily, and the compass needle in his hand that detected spiritual energy was turning slightly and regularly.
Sudden.
A longan-sized, warm bead that he kept close to his body in his arms suddenly emitted a dazzling green light without any warning.
“Hmm…”
Liu Fufeng groaned, and felt an overwhelming force surging out from the dragon ball.
The green light instantly spread like water waves, covering the entire team.
The world was spinning.
Xiaobai felt that the scene in front of him was like an ink painting thrown into a drum, rapidly twisting and spinning, and finally turning into a chaotic color.
A powerful pulling force came, as if it was going to pull her soul out of her body.
The next moment, his feet suddenly stepped on empty air.
Feeling weightless, she screamed subconsciously, only to find that she and her junior apprentice brother Liu Fufeng were the only ones falling rapidly downwards.
The figures of other brothers and nephews, like dandelions blown away by the wind, instantly disappeared in the unpredictable turbulence of light and shadow.
"Third senior brother, little senior brother, fellow apprentices, can you hear me?" Xiaobai shouted anxiously.
Outside world, secret realm monitoring hub.
The light curtain representing the Qingling Sect's team suddenly went dark with a "sizzle" sound without any warning.
The elder who stayed behind stood up suddenly, his face changed drastically: "Not good, their transmission signal is interrupted."
The feeling of falling didn't last long.
Xiaobai only felt his body lighten, and fell on a strange "carpet" that was soft yet tough.
When she opened her eyes, she couldn't help but widen her big black eyes.
What you see before you is a magnificent underwater palace built entirely of colorful corals and huge pearls.
The light is soft and bright. It does not come from the outside world, but is the precious light emitted by the palace itself.
Liu Fufeng landed beside her almost at the same time. He quickly stood up, protected Xiaobai behind him, looked around vigilantly, with a frown on his face.
His expression was more solemn than ever before.
At this moment, in the open space in the center of the palace, ripples appeared and light and shadows gathered.
An illusory dragon shadow, so huge that it almost covered the entire dome of the palace, slowly took shape.
That was a mirage dragon.
The dragon's might is as vast as a prison, but if you feel it carefully, you can catch a glimpse of an indescribable desolation and deep sadness.
The phantom of the Mirage Dragon King.
Its gaze seemed to penetrate time and space and landed precisely on Liu Fufeng's forehead.
There, the skin was smooth, but in the vision of the Mirage Dragon King, there was a clear reflection of a blood-red cinnabar mole that others could not see.
"Thirty thousand years..."
An old and tired voice, carrying the sediment of endless years, echoed in the palace.
Xiaobai looked at Liu Fufeng who suddenly relaxed. No way, could it be as he guessed, that Junior Brother Liu is actually a demon? That's so cool.
"Finally...finally, the master's great-great-grandson came to take my son away."
The huge dragon head turned slightly and looked at Xiaobai, who had a confused face but exuded extraordinary spiritual energy.
A hint of surprise flashed in the dragon's eyes, then turned into deep respect.
"I never thought that Your Highness the Goddess would appear here with the descendants of my Lord."
It slowly lowered its proud dragon head and performed an ancient and solemn etiquette in the direction of Xiaobai.
"The wheel of fate and the entanglement of cause and effect are truly mysterious and indescribable."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phantom of the Mirage Dragon King opened its huge mouth.
A fist-sized, crystal clear ice dragon egg that exudes extreme coldness slowly floated out and hovered in front of Liu Fufeng.
Inside the dragon egg, one can vaguely see the outline of a curled up life, emitting faint but tenacious life fluctuations.
However, the moment the dragon egg appeared!
“Boom…”
Without any warning, the entire coral palace began to shake violently, as if some terrifying existence was about to awaken.
From the deepest shadows on either side of the palace came the teeth-grinding sound of heavy chains dragging.
“Crash…crash…”
Two adult mirage dragons, whose bodies were more solid and larger than the shadow of the Mirage Dragon King, slowly swam out from the shadows.
Their scales are dull and their eyes are tired yet filled with an inviolable majesty.
What was most shocking was that two huge chains, as black as ink and gleaming with rune luster, actually pierced directly through the most fragile part of their necks, the reverse scales, which symbolized the dignity and source of power of the dragon clan.
The blood had already solidified, but the pain and bondage that penetrated deep into the bone marrow seemed to be able to be transmitted through time and space.
One male and one female.
These are the real Mirage Dragon King and Dragon Queen!
They are not phantoms, but are imprisoned here alive by these cruel chains, using themselves as prisons to guard this inheritance!
Liu Fufeng's gaze first fell on the several unknown dragon corpses on the ground that had long lost their vitality and turned into dry bones, and then he stared at the two Mirage Dragon King and Dragon Queen whose scales were pierced by chains.
His body began to tremble uncontrollably.
The peach blossom eyes that usually showed three parts of smile and seven parts of composure were now instantly stained with blood, turning a bright red.
"You...why do you have to do this?"
His voice was hoarse, filled with incredible pain and a question that was close to collapse.
"Didn't our ancestors pass down the message back then?"
"He said, from now on, you are free, the world is vast, you can roam freely."
"Why? Why do you want to stay here in such a self-destructive way? Are you stupid?"
Liu Fufeng pointed at the two self-imprisoned mirage dragons and became so excited that he almost lost control.
“Isn’t the bond of destiny heavy enough?
Don't you understand the good intentions of our ancestors? "
"Isn't it better to be a pair of free and respected Mirage Dragon Kings, leading your tribe to glory, rather than being trapped here, waiting for an illusory contract inheritance?"
"Is it really that important to become someone else's contracted beast?"
His voice was choked with sobs, and a mixture of pain, heartache, anger, and confusion made his handsome face look a little distorted.
Xiaobai had never seen Junior-Junior Brother Liu Fufeng like this before.
The eldest senior brother who was always calm and composed, as if he had everything under control, was now as fragile as a lost child.
Her little hands subconsciously clutched the corner of her clothes, feeling a little worried.
However, Liu Fufeng had not finished his words.
“Crack!”
The ice crystal dragon egg floating in front of him suddenly cracked.
A palm-sized baby dragon, with an icy blue body and eyes like the purest sapphire, clumsily broke out of its shell.
It shook its head in confusion, as if it sensed something, and instinctively swam towards Liu Fufeng.
Then, when Liu Fufeng was still immersed in huge emotional fluctuations and unable to react.
The young dragon opened its little mouth and bit the finger that he subconsciously extended!
"hiss……"
There was a sharp pain at the fingertips, and a drop of bright red blood was instantly sucked into the dragon's mouth.
Buzz.
The light of the blood pact flashed and disappeared.
The forehead of Liu Fufeng, at the location of the cinnabar mole that the Mirage Dragon King had been staring at, suddenly lit up.
An extremely complex golden dragon totem full of primitive aura slowly emerged and was imprinted on it.
The style of the totem was exactly the same as the mark on the forehead of the dragon depicted standing shoulder to shoulder with the ancestor of the Liu family on the mural in the secret room of the Liu family's ancestral temple that had been sealed for a long time.
Liu Fufeng's body shook violently, as if struck by lightning.
He slammed his eyes shut and took a long, painful breath.
When he opened his eyes again, the redness and excitement in his eyes had faded away, replaced by a bottomless fatigue and a determination that was so heavy that it was suffocating.
“Forget it… Forget it…”
He murmured in a low voice, with undisguised bitterness and helplessness in his voice.
"Since... you insist on doing this..."
"Then I, Liu Fufeng, will have no choice but to... go against my ancestors' teachings and accept this bond today."
After saying this, his entire aura changed.
He is no longer the gentle and kind-hearted senior brother of Qingling Sect.
It is like an ancient sword that has finally been unsheathed, but is stained with endless dust and the shackles of fate. It is sharp, but also carries a kind of desolate sadness of a desperate gamble.
Xiaobai blinked, and the heavenly book in his sea of consciousness automatically opened, and a line of small characters appeared silently: [The ancestors of the Liu family had a deep connection with the Mirage Dragon lineage and had made a vow.
Later, fearing that the blood ties were too heavy and that Heaven would be jealous and would affect future generations, they established an ancestral precept to sever the contract.
However, the Mirage Dragon lineage is loyal and righteous. They sacrificed themselves to protect and inherit the Savage Realm for 30,000 years, waiting for the pure-blooded descendants of the Liu family.
Liu Fufeng, the only descendant of the Liu family, has a pure bloodline and is unavoidable. 】
It turns out that Liu Fufeng has known it all along.
He was not completely ignorant of the Mirage Dragon's summons.
However, the ancestral precepts as heavy as a mountain, and the Liu family's way of inheritance, which was to pass down the family line from generation to generation to only one son and never take concubines in order to preserve the purity of the bloodline, made him bear too much.
He is the only heir of this generation. His father and mother lost their fertility after they were inexplicably attacked after they conceived him.
He has always carried this responsibility and this taboo on his shoulders and tried to escape from it.
But in the end, he could not escape the fate that spanned 30,000 years.
He was not afraid of violating his ancestral teachings. When he was very young, his ancestor appeared in his dream. He knew better than anyone why his ancestor gave up his life 30,000 years ago.
Because I had no choice, and also to protect my old friend.
But the Mirage Dragon clan is the most loyal, and they still used their own way.
"Forget it, forget it. I accept it all." Liu Fufeng was determined at this moment.
