One after another, roars of deep hatred and hatred came from all directions.
"Is this the dragon?" Just by hearing its voice, you know it's no good.
But why does it hate humans so much?
“That’s right, that’s it. As you can see, it’s filled with hatred for humans and keeps ramming the bridge, trying to break through it and get revenge.” Master Feng pointed to the bridge.
An Honghan frowned. "Do you know why it hates humans so much?"
Throughout history, there has been more than one dragon, but it has never attacked humankind.
There must be a reason for its hatred of humanity.
There is no hatred without a cause in the world, and he was certain that there was a hidden truth behind it.
Xi Xizhi thought the same thing, her eyes fixed on Master Feng, waiting for his answer.
"A while ago, I followed the white fox and eventually found my way to Fengzhou. Then, overnight, a sudden flood broke out, relentlessly breaching the dikes. At that moment, I sensed something was amiss. Later, I followed the waterway and found this bridge. At first, I couldn't figure it out either, until I heard that roar..."
"A white fox? Did Master Feng catch it? By the way, do you have any information about Old Man Xu?" Although they came to Fengzhou because of the flood, they also need to find Old Man Xu's whereabouts.
Old Xu has been missing for so long. If he is not found soon, Xi Xizhi is really afraid that the half-demon will kill him.
"Well..." Seemingly ashamed, Master Feng shook his head and said, "When I discovered that it was this dragon causing trouble, I stayed here to deal with it. Unfortunately, my cultivation was no match for it. I could only keep adding power to the bridge to temporarily suppress the dragon and prevent it from escaping. Not long after, I met Senior Xi. His cultivation was far superior to mine. I'm very grateful for his help these days, otherwise..."
Master Feng's gaze lingered on Xi Xizhi's face. If he remembered correctly, when this woman addressed Xi Xizhi as "Master" earlier, she had called her "elder."
"You are...?" This girl gave Master Feng a sense of familiarity, as if he had met her before.
However, he couldn't recall whether he had actually seen her before.
"Master Feng, don't you remember me? We even caught a white fox together before." Not intending to hide it from Master Feng, knowing it would inevitably come to light sooner or later, Xi Xizhi smiled faintly.
Looking at the dimples that appeared on the girl's lips, and recalling Senior Xi's surname, Master Feng immediately pictured a chubby Phoenix Cloud Sable in his mind.
"So it was you. I never expected that you would form an inner core in such a short time and even change your appearance. I also never expected that your master would have such a great background." Master Feng stroked his beard and chuckled a few times.
Although Senior Xi never mentioned his cultivation level to him, Master Feng was certain that this person's strength was more than twice that of himself.
An Honghan's gaze remained fixed on the bridge, a question lingering in his mind.
"What's so special about that bridge? Given the strength of the dragon, this bridge shouldn't be able to stop it."
Master Feng stroked his beard again. "It's not the bridge, but the knife under the bridge. That knife must be a weapon used by some master, an excellent magic weapon specifically for dealing with demons. And the position of that knife is right above the head of the dragon."
This is why the dragon dared not act rashly before.
Anyone with a knife hanging over their head would feel deep resentment and try their best to resist.
Xi Xizhi and An Honghan listened quietly. Xi Xizhi became more and more confused as she listened. "So, logically speaking, this dragon shouldn't have crashed into the bridge and sought its own death, right?"
Master Feng shook his head profoundly, "It's not what you think. This dragon is about to face its tribulation. At this time, its magical power is at its strongest, and its body is at its most robust. It will fight desperately and withstand this blow. As long as it can keep a breath and safely pass through the tribulation, it will naturally be able to get through this ordeal."
It seems this dragon was facing a near-certain death...
An Honghan suddenly understood the meaning: "This dragon is unwilling to be suppressed under the bridge and never be able to rise again. It can only take advantage of this opportunity to have a sliver of hope to ascend."
Then... wasn't the person who pinned the dragon under the bridge doing it on purpose?
If the dragon had not been suppressed and could have safely passed its tribulation, why would it have deliberately stirred up waves and harmed the people?
"Damn it, it must be related to the half-demon!" No matter what the half-demon's purpose was, everything he did had caused countless innocent people to lose their lives.
Upon hearing Xi Xizhi's tone, Master Feng immediately guessed who had deliberately trapped the dragon under the bridge...
It's no wonder that the dragon hates humans so much.
If humans hadn't built the bridge and deliberately led it here, how could it have been suppressed?
Dragons and jiaos, one righteous and one evil.
Jiaolong are creatures that hold grudges. Once hatred has taken root in a jiaolong's heart, it will certainly not be erased.
The only option now is to confront the dragon head-on.
"Taoist Feng, come and stand in my place for a moment. I have something to say to them." A very powerful voice came from Xi Zhen's mouth and came towards them.
The group was taken aback. Master Feng cupped his hands towards An Honghan and said, "Your Majesty, that's all I know. I'll go hold things over on the other side of the bridge."
After saying this, Master Feng flew away.
Not long after, the person who had been sitting on the bridge was replaced by Master Feng.
Perhaps because his skill was inferior to Xi Zhen's, the light became somewhat fainter after the two took over.
The waves were the most intense around that bridge, where Xi Zhen confronted the dragon, his clothes already soaked through.
With his wet clothes clinging to his body, Xi Zhen was clearly uncomfortable. As he walked over, he channeled his spiritual energy, and in a short while, his soaked clothes dried completely.
Before he even reached the two of them, Xi Zhen reached into his pocket, pulled out a small porcelain bottle, and threw it at An Honghan.
An Honghan reached out and took it, uncorked the bottle and smelled it; it had a very strong fragrance.
"This is a celestial medicine I obtained from the Heavenly Realm. You can take it and eat it." Xi Zhen looked at the bottle of pills with some heartache; he had gone to great lengths to obtain it.
And now, they've actually handed it over to outsiders.
Xi Xizhi's eyes widened. "Master, you don't even give your disciple the good stuff."
Hearing Xi Xizhi's envious tone, An Honghan glanced at the small porcelain bottle, put the stopper back in, and handed it to Xi Xizhi, saying, "If you want to eat it, I will give it to you."
"Don't give it to her, it'll be a waste if she eats it." Xi Zhen reached out and pushed the small porcelain bottle back into An Honghan's hand.
Xi Xizhi grew increasingly angry, thinking to herself, "Who exactly is your apprentice? You're so biased."
