Wu You maintained a simple and direct style during his conversation with the Liu family.
Skipping over the tedious and frustrating middleman, Wu You's message, clearly stating his purpose, can be summarized as follows:
I am a recluse who emerged from the world to rid it of the Blood Dragon scourge, and I do not participate in the world's conflicts.
Second, I want to know when the current imperial court and martial arts forces will make their move so I can join them.
Third, the realms beyond martial arts that you are most concerned about do exist, but the cultivation system is still based on various martial arts. If your Liu family wants to understand, then first give me your family's more advanced secret manuals for reference, and I will explain them to you in a targeted manner.
Fourth, I will not join your retainers, but if nothing unexpected happens, I will be in the Liu family's group on the day of departure.
As for the result...
Aside from asking about the gathering of various forces in Jiangzhou 10 days later, the rest was just pointless bickering and indirect questioning between the two sides.
The family's martial arts skills are a matter of foundation, and no matter what, Liu Xianyuan and others would not hand them over to others for "reference" just because of a single word from Xie Daozi.
As for Wu You, his so-called "realm above martial arts" was just something he made up. Unless the demon god's power could be borrowed from others, he naturally couldn't say anything substantial.
The two sides had a very pleasant discussion that lasted for almost two hours.
Finally, Liu Xianyuan personally escorted Xie Daozi to the gate of the outer village, watching him disappear from sight almost as if he had "shrunk the earth to an inch".
It wasn't that he didn't want to send someone to follow him, but judging from Xie Daozi's behavior in the reception room just now, it would be difficult to follow him without being discovered.
Not sending anyone was also to avoid making things worse.
“Master, this person is quite wicked; he is probably not a righteous person.”
After Wu Youyuan left, an elder of the family whispered to Liu Xianyuan.
"Yes, Xie Daozi is definitely not a good person. Tell the family members to be careful when dealing with him in the future and try not to offend him."
But Liu Xianyuan was thinking to himself.
Blood Dragon, Evil Path Child, it seems there are some things buried very deep in this world!
...
After leaving the Liu family, Wu You confirmed that he was not being followed and found a secluded spot to change back into his original appearance before entering the city.
Then, he was directly transported from the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain to his private residence in Leping City.
Wang Fugui had been waiting there for a long time.
As soon as Wu You appeared, he rushed forward to greet her.
"My lord, what was the result?"
Wu You waved his hand: "These old foxes, I suspect they've left something in reserve in their plan, but the approximate timing should be right. We'll put the matter of retainers aside for now."
Just as Wang Fugui was about to say something, the noise outside the courtyard suddenly became loud and chaotic.
The refugees' voices were filled with terror.
Once you step out of the inner hall and into the courtyard, you can clearly hear the shouts from outside.
"Run! The Blood Dragon is coming..."
"Oh my God..."
"Hurry up, hurry up, even Leping City is no longer safe."
"Don't step on me..."
...
These refugees all came from the disaster-stricken areas and were among the people most afraid of the Blood Dragon.
But Wu You was deeply shocked when he heard this.
The Blood Dragon has arrived?
Impossible! White Eagle has only been dead for half a day, how could the Blood Flood Dragon have reached the vicinity of Leping City? Could it be that this Blood Flood Dragon can fly? And is it several times faster than White Eagle?
Inside the courtyard, the four skilled martial artists that Wang Fugui brought saw the two owners coming out of the inner hall and hurriedly went forward to report the situation.
It is said that someone saw the Blood Dragon appear on the Tiansha River outside Leping City.
After hesitating for a moment, Wu You went back into the house and carried the fiber bag containing the Barrett rifle on his back.
"Let's go take a look."
Once outside the courtyard, the group could clearly sense the refugees' panic.
They were all packing their things or running west out of the city; they didn't want to be trapped in the city like the people inside Jiulu City now.
The original inhabitants of Leping City mostly carried a sense of unease and bewilderment.
Wu You and Wang Fugui and the others made some difficulty moving forward against the flow of people, but once they passed the middle of the city, the view suddenly opened up.
This place is close to the east gate facing the Tiansha River; those who want to escape are all crowded in the western section.
When they arrived at the city gate, they found that the gate was not closed, but the soldiers guarding the city seemed to be distracted. If it weren't for the gatekeeper urging them on, they probably would have run away long ago.
Leaving the city from here is much easier than from the west side. Once outside the city, you can see the Tiansha River in the distance.
Although the water level has risen, there are no signs of a major flood like that in Jiangzhou.
That's strange. Could it just be a message?
I just slapped my forehead and said, "Why don't you take a closer look and you'll know?"
He sent four somewhat reluctant men to the riverbank to investigate, while Wu You himself went to perform alchemy on site afterward.
In a short period of time, two birds were created that looked almost exactly like the dead white eagle.
Using the observation mode, one aircraft flew towards the riverbank at high altitude and the other at low altitude.
That was a mistake; we didn't even need to leave the city.
From the air, he could see that there were already some people patrolling there, and he recognized a few of them as guards and warriors from the Liu family.
The leader was actually a pretty woman.
They estimated that no trace of the Blood Dragon had been found yet. Although the group was somewhat nervous, they were not afraid.
Judging from the current situation, it's more likely a misrepresentation, Wu You thought.
Not long after he started thinking this, the White Eagle II swept across the river.
With a "bang," the water surface suddenly exploded, and a long, red snake-like creature shot out from underwater.
It opened its blood-red maw, its target the flying bird controlled by Wu You.
System notification: A monstrous entity has been detected. Danger level: Bronze High. Destroy it!
Ignoring the warning, and remembering his previous headache, Wu You immediately switched from observing the White Eagle II to observing the one at high altitude.
After missing its target, the Blood Dragon looked up at the sky with some confusion and then stopped moving.
Instead, it sank to the bottom of the water.
The scene of the blood dragon emerging from the water to chase a strange eagle was witnessed by a group of people on the riverbank, causing them to quickly move away from the water's edge.
Several people immediately set off towards the location of the Liu family manor.
...
Wu You was somewhat restless at this moment.
This blood dragon is not the one we saw in Jiangzhou before. This one is much smaller and only of the high-grade bronze level, but it reveals several crucial pieces of information.
There was more than one blood dragon, and their appearance was indeed related to him.
Wu You realized this when it gave up chasing White Eagle II and looked up at the sky.
However, the accuracy of the Blood Dragon's perception doesn't seem to be very strong.
Otherwise, they would have simply rushed out of the water to their hiding place to deal with them.
Having figured this out, Wu You settled down for the time being.
Let's make an assumption.
There may be multiple Blood Dragons, and they may even be capable of reproduction.
Perhaps they, or one of them, had a vague sense of something when they first entered the Eastern Realm, which is why they searched for something along the Tian Sha River after not showing themselves for so long.
However, they may not actually know what their target looks like, but they are very sensitive to certain features, such as the gaze pattern.
What does it mean when the system suggests eliminating it?
System notification: Due to a combination of factors including the effects of killing, mental stimulation, alchemy in this world, and influence of forces, 100 points of alchemical energy have been automatically burned, the synchronization rate has increased, and the biological authority has been upgraded to Bronze.
