The more Shu Jianyue looked at the lake, the more she felt it resembled a giant mouth, as if it might swallow everyone whole at any moment.
There was a gentle breeze, yet the water remained completely still.
Yu Chuan looked at the lake and walked to Shu Jianyue's side, saying, "It looks pretty intimidating, like there's something watching you underwater."
Although Jiang Yuan was displeased to see Yu Chuan arrive, he dared not show it, since Yu Chuan had come with this woman.
etc……
This person said before that his parents had gotten separated, so isn't this his mother?
Jiang Yuan felt as if a thousand swords had pierced his heart.
Such a beautiful and youthful girl, how could she have such a grown son?
Jiang Yuan's gaze towards Shu Jianyue immediately changed, as if he were looking at someone who had betrayed him.
Shu Jianyue's attention was entirely focused on the lake, so she didn't see his disgusting gaze, but Yu Chuan did, and kicked Jiang Yuan directly into the lake.
Shu Jianyue looked at him, puzzled. "What's wrong?"
Yu Chuan shook his head, "It's alright, let him go down and test the water to see if there's anything in it."
As Shu Jianyue looked at the lake, the more she looked, the more she felt it was just as Yu Chuan had said: there was something in the water staring at them, and she even had a feeling that it was about to burst out.
Seeing that ripples had formed elsewhere besides where the river flowed into the water, he immediately pulled Yuchuan away, saying, "Let's go back."
Just as I turned around with Yuchuan, the water in the lake stirred.
Shu Jianyue turned around and immediately pulled Yu Chuan back quickly to stand at the highest point on the street, looking at the lake.
Jiang Yuan turned around and saw the lake surface rippling. He immediately leaped out of the lake, frowning as he watched the ripples grow larger and larger.
He hadn't woken up for a long time, so how did he suddenly wake up?
Thinking this to himself, he immediately cleaned his clothes and ran straight towards the square.
He ran to the Grand Elder's side and said, "Something's wrong, he's awake."
"Who woke up?" The Grand Elder looked at him, puzzled.
Jiang Yuan pointed towards the lake, and the First Elder's eyes lit up when he saw this. He immediately shouted, "Oh no, Clan Chief, the Black Dragon has awakened!"
Jiang Jingyi was undergoing the exorcism seal when she heard that the black dragon had woken up. She only frowned slightly but did not move.
The Grand Elder wanted to interrupt her from removing the service mark, so how could he let her remain indifferent? He tried to step forward and pull Jiang Jingyi away.
Chong Jiu glanced at him indifferently, and that cold gaze immediately made him stop in his tracks.
The elder, his face flushed, looked at Jiang Jingyi and said, "If you don't deal with this soon, it will be troublesome once the black dragon comes out."
This black dragon was sealed here by the Heavenly Dao. There had been many disturbances in the lake before, but it never came out.
This time might be the same, but he didn't care. He just wanted to stop Jiang Jingyi and these people from removing their service marks.
Jiang Jingyi glanced at him and sneered, "When has the Black Dragon ever come out? If it wanted to come out, it would have come out long ago. Why would it take this long?"
"Elder, no one is forcing you to leave if you don't want to, but could you please stop bothering us again and again?"
She could sense that only a few traces of the mark remained before it could be completely removed.
We cannot give up halfway.
The elder earnestly said, "Clan leader, no matter how good it is outside, it can't compare to our clan's territory."
"Don't let the allure of the outside world dazzle you; remember, there's no place like home."
Chong Jiu looked in Shu Jianyue's direction and saw that she was just standing there quietly watching, so he knew that nothing was wrong.
But Black Dragon?
It turns out they didn't perish, but were trapped inside.
Whether these people were punished or sent by Heaven to guard the Black Dragon is hard to say.
Chong Jiu looked at Kong Xuan, signaling him to take the annoying elder away.
Kong Xuan pursed his lips, got up and walked towards the Grand Elder. As he passed by him, he used his spiritual power to lift him up.
The elder immediately struggled, becoming more and more astonished with each struggle.
He was a cultivator at the Mahayana stage, yet this person could lift him up with spiritual power without any resistance!
What exactly is this person's cultivation level?
Jiang Yiqing glanced around and, seeing that Kong Xuan hadn't called her, stood still to the side, watching Chong Jiu continue to remove the servitude marks from those people.
As soon as the servitude mark was removed, he immediately gave the clan leader the suppression rune he was wearing.
That way, the clan leader can lead them away from here.
Kong Xuan carried the Grand Elder to the lakeside, glanced at the lake, and then retreated to Shu Jianyue's side. "There's a black dragon trapped inside. Judging from the looks of it, it's been trapped for quite some time."
Just like him, he was trapped in the Xu family for many years.
A thousand years!
Thinking of the aura emanating from Jiang Jingyi, he glanced at Shu Jianyue and said, "The aura and energy emanating from that clan leader are very similar to that person's."
Shu Jianyue looked at him in surprise, "Oh, did you find anyone in the crowd?"
Most of the people who are close to the clan chief have come, so that person should be in the crowd as well.
Kong Xuan shook his head, "He's not here, I've seen everything."
Shu Jianyue glanced at the lake and the elder and said, "Come on, I'll help you search here. If she has it on her, it means she's in frequent contact with someone, so it must be here."
Kong Xuan shook his head and said, "I'll go by myself. You stay here and keep watch. That black dragon should be coming out soon."
He is a Teng Snake, so I can sense some of his condition.
It's about to break free from the seal.
Shu Jianyue looked towards the lake and said, "It's nothing."
"Even if we can't get out, it doesn't matter, we have moxibustion."
He patted Yuchuan on the shoulder, telling him to go and tell Chongjiu.
Yu Chuan nodded and said, "Then you wait here for me for a while, I want to go with you."
Shu Jianyue nodded helplessly.
Yu Chuan immediately darted away, then flew back, saying, "Mother, let's go."
There was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Shu Jianyue gave him a disgruntled look and then walked in another direction.
She noticed that there were relatively few people around, only the presence of one or two individuals.
The aura on the other side was rather mottled, which was naturally at odds with the clan leader here, since those who were in harmony were all in the square.
So the few people here are probably those who side with the clan leader but don't want to leave.
She didn't use her mental energy to look at it, otherwise she would have looked more carefully.
But what's the use of her careful observation? She can't discern the person's energy aura.
The three walked through the alley between the houses. Kong Xuan sensed the atmosphere around him and headed towards the area with the stronger atmosphere.
After many twists and turns, we finally felt that familiar energy aura in a courtyard nestled against the mountain.
Kong Xuan jumped in without thinking.
Upon seeing the people sitting in the courtyard, they immediately began to act.
Shu Jianyue showed no intention of interfering and simply stood at the door watching.
Yu Chuan was eager to try and join in the fight, but seeing that Shu Jianyue was just watching, he refrained from moving.
Shu Jianyue raised an eyebrow as she looked at the person who had fought Kong Xuan to a draw.
In all this time, this was the only man she had ever seen whose looks could rival Chong Jiu's.
But what grudge could there be that led to Kong Xuan being sent to the Xu family to suffer?
