When they went around the riverbed and hill, they saw the wreckage of a ship submerged in the messy water plants among a pile of rocks behind them.

"It's strange." Xu Yinglian said, "The wood should float, why is it sinking under the water?"

She picked up a piece of the wreckage and looked at it for a moment:

"It's very light. It's not made of heavy wood, and there's no iron nailed to it."

"Is there a possibility?" Qiu Changtian said slowly, "Is this the ship that Xu Zhi took that year?"

"While sailing here, we were suddenly drawn into a secret realm, which is why we were unable to be detected by the arithmetic afterwards."

"It's not impossible." Xu Yinglian replied, "If we can find the entrance to the secret realm, then this guess will naturally be proven; if we can't find the entrance, then what this shipwreck is will be meaningless to us."

"That's true. Let me think about it." Qiu Changtian pretended to think and called out in his heart, "Ajing, scan it quickly. How can I enter this secret realm?"

"You can get in by jumping into the water from the river surface." Kunlun Mirror replied.

"Okay." Qiu Changtian pretended to think, and suddenly an idea came to him, "According to that legend, does it need to be sunk into the river?"

"Sunk into the river?" Luo Baiyuan asked in confusion, "Aren't we already at the bottom of the river?"

"Brother, what you mean is to make the action of 'sinking into the river'." Xu Yinglian understood and explained, "It does not mean to sink to the bottom of the river."

"Oh." Luo Baiyuan seemed to understand.

The three of them flew up on their swords, breaking through the water surface, and then released their swords and fell straight down from the air.

Hitting the water heavily, Qiu Changtian only felt the water pressure coming from all directions, and soon swallowed him completely.

After staying in the water for a while, he confirmed that Junior Sister Xu and Senior Sister Luo were by his side, then broke through the water again.

What I saw in the distance was no longer the banks of the Xiangjiang River, but a large group of houses in the water. The lower half was completely submerged in the water, while the upper half had lotus leaf-shaped roofs.

"Who!" Luo Baiyuan suddenly shouted.

She lifted her right leg and stomped it hard, and a large number of ice spikes shot out rapidly from the water.

Two more figures retreated quickly, dodging the dense swarm of ice spikes.

Qiu Changtian took a closer look and found that they were all acquaintances.

The two people were one tall and one short. The shorter one was Wei Dongliu's acquaintance Long Xiaoqi, who at this moment looked like a confused girl who was half asleep and half awake.

The tall one is Shi Yao, a Jiaolong whom Long Long knows. He serves as an elder within the Canglong clan, but privately he is the patriarch of the Jiaolong lineage in Dongzhou.

Why did these two dragon girls enter this secret place?

Qiu Changtian remembered that before entering the secret realm, he saw the shadow of a water snake flash by. He thought it was the result of the two people falling quickly from the air to the bottom of the river.

"Donghuang Dao?" Luo Baiyuan said with a frown.

"Kunlun monks." Shi Yao laughed, her attitude was like friend and foe, ambiguous, "or the famous Han Yuan, Chang Geng and Qiong Ying... This secret realm has not been explored yet, do you really want to waste time here and fight with us?"

Luo Baiyuan did not answer, but secretly sent a message to the two of them:

"If I remember correctly, this person is Shi Yao, the leader of the Donghuang Dao Sect. His strength is not comparable to that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator."

"If you confront her head-on, the best I can do is protect you from death, but there is no chance of defeating her."

"For some reason, she doesn't seem to be hostile to us, but we can't tell whether she is pretending to paralyze us... Do you want to continue exploring?"

"Since they don't intend to make a move, then we should just stay out of their way for now." Qiu Changtian thought for a moment and replied, "Let them do their thing, and we'll do ours."

Others might mistake Shi Yao for the leader of Donghuang Dao, but he knows that his true identity is actually a dragon, and his business focus has always been on Donghuang Realm.

As for the Three Pure Ones of the orthodox sect, Shushan might be a little more hostile because of the Demon Locking Tower... but after all, they are not like the orthodox demon monks who will shout and kill the orthodox monks when they see them.

As long as you are careful, it's not impossible to deal with it.

"In that case, you must stay by my side at all times and don't stray far away." Luo Baiyuan instructed, "If she shows any hostility, we must flee immediately without any delay."

"Of course." Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian responded in unison.

On the other side, Long Xiaoqi was also quietly talking to Shi Yao:

"Master, shouldn't we force them to stay?"

"Luo Baiyuan has deep cultivation and cannot be killed quickly." Shi Yao replied indifferently, "Qiu Changtian holds the Arctic Thunder, which has too much control over my clan. If a fight really breaks out, I can't guarantee your safety."

"Oh." Long Xiaoqi said calmly, "If a fight really breaks out, who will the two ladies in there help?"

"I don't know." Shi Yao shook her head.

In order to prevent the two dragons from regretting their decision, Qiu Changtian took the lead in taking them into the fairyland town.

There were many little monsters in the town, all of them were aquatic monsters, including fish, shrimp, turtles and crabs. When they saw the strange monks breaking in, they fled in all directions and went home without coming out.

Qiu Changtian looked around calmly and saw that all the houses were magnificent, with coral walls, pearl lamps, and the stone streets were paved with purple shells, which was very luxurious.

Not long after, two little demons came running over and said to the three people tremblingly:

"Three distinguished guests, Madam Xiang invites you."

"Who is Madam Xiang?" Xu Yinglian asked tentatively.

The two little demons were seen hesitating and repeating "Madam Xiang is Madam Xiang" several times in a jumbled manner, but they could not explain themselves clearly at all.

"Forget it, let's just go over there." Qiu Changtian persuaded her, "These little demons have not yet transformed, their bloodline is low-level, and their intelligence is no different from that of children of a few years old. You can't get the truth from them."

"Whatever." Xu Yinglian gave up asking further questions.

The three followed the little demon and continued forward, and soon arrived at a bamboo forest in the water.

Deep in the bamboo forest, there is a simple palace. It looks magnificent from the outside, but when you get closer, you can see that there are not many details and the carvings are very casual and simple.

Several fish ladies came out of the palace gracefully, with happy smiles on their faces, and led the three men into the palace.

"Be careful." Luo Baiyuan said suddenly.

Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian both knew what she was talking about: the evil aura deep within the palace was so strong that it was almost turning into substance.

Arriving at the main hall of the palace, the three saw two beautiful and charming women in palace dress sitting high on the jade throne.

The one on the left is dressed as a young girl, with short hair, an oval face, a refreshing and bright smile, and a youthful and lively beauty; the one on the right is dressed as a young woman, with long hair, an oval face, a lazy and charming look, and a mature and sexy aura.

Qiu Changtian narrowed his eyes and with his years of experience in observing monsters, he quickly recognized that they were both dragons.

To be precise, it is the Qilin dragon level, and the cultivation level is roughly the same as the high-level Nascent Soul level.

Suddenly, Xu Yinglian beside him glared at him implicitly.

Qiu Changtian was slightly startled, then he realized that the two dragon ladies on the throne had already focused their smiling gazes on him.

"Sister, is this the human Qiu Changtian?" the long-haired dragon girl said lazily.

"He is a handsome man, gentle as jade." The short-haired dragon girl said with a smile, "I think he can be the 'Lord of Xiang'."

"Sister, do you think so too?" The long-haired dragon girl was delighted. "This grade of golden elixir, with a clear mind of Taoism, would be a wonderful thing if he could become our Xiang Jun!"

"It's a pity. I heard that Xiang Jun already has a wife." The short-haired dragon girl looked at Xu Yinglian again, "It's a little phoenix."

"How can a phoenix be as powerful as a dragon?" said the long-haired dragon girl disdainfully.
