He was enveloped in an invisible shield of light, which kept out the wind and rain.
He looked at the blood on the river, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes, and sighed, "You've cultivated diligently for ten thousand years. If you had succeeded in this dragon-transformation, you could have become a dragon. But I never expected you to die by that divine sword. What a pity..."
With a flick of his sleeve, a divine power swept across the water's surface, causing the scattered souls of the dragon to converge and transform into a white dragon in the sky.
The dragon looked at the man, tears streaming down its face with excitement: "My lord, it's you! You've awakened from your icy state?"
The man nodded.
He was the one who was frozen in the snow-capped mountains outside Youdu City.
After breaking the seal last time, he quietly came to the human world.
After his initial excitement, the dragon sighed sadly, "My lord, I'm sorry. I originally intended to transform into a dragon and go to the snow mountain to save you, but I failed and was killed by the divine sword. I can no longer help you."
The man said with pity, "Agu, this is not your fault. It's just that you messed with the wrong person this time."
The dragon looked coldly at Chu Yu, who was lying unconscious in the grass, and asked in confusion, "This woman is just an ordinary metaphysician. Why did a divine weapon suddenly fall from the sky and kill me when I wanted to take her life?"
Walking the dragon is an extremely secretive matter. If you encounter strangers along the way, some irritable dragons will kill them.
This white dragon happened to be irritable and cruel. After meeting Chu Yu and Jiang Huai'an, it immediately saw that they were metaphysicians. It hated metaphysicians the most, and countless metaphysicians had died under its claws over the years.
So he wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of them, but unexpectedly, he ended up dying a tragic death.
The man said with a gloomy face, "Because he is the owner of that divine artifact, and this woman is someone he wants to protect."
The dragon quickly realized who the man was referring to, and a deep disgust and hatred flashed in its eyes: "It was him. He died after freezing you in the snow mountain outside Youdu City, and disappeared from the world ever since. Has he reappeared now?"
The man nodded: "Yes. He's back again."
Jiaolong immediately tensed up: "He's back, what are you going to do?"
The man gazed into the distance, a bloodthirsty smirk playing on his lips: "Now that I've escaped, I'll make him pay the price. Agu, I'll remember your grudge, and one day he'll pay for it in blood."
Jiaolong gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, let him pay for his crimes in blood."
The man waved his hand at him: "Since you are already dead, then go to the cycle of reincarnation."
The dragon looked at him with reluctance and offered its dragon bones: "My lord, although I have not yet transformed into a dragon, I have cultivated for ten thousand years. These dragon bones contain my life's cultivation. Now I offer them to you. You can forge them into a weapon that can help you complete your revenge!"
The man took it, his gaze deep, and said, "Very well, I will not let you down."
"Then I'm leaving!"
After bidding him farewell with tears streaming down its face, the dragon flew off into the distance, heading towards the underworld.
After the dragon left, the man came to Chu Yu's side. He looked at the unconscious Chu Yu, stared at him for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "So it was you."
He sneered, his laughter filled with endless mockery and resentment: "I knew it was you who would protect a mere mortal woman like this."
He stared at Chu Yu with a sinister gaze. After a moment, he realized that Chu Yu's breath was weak and that her life would be in danger if she was not treated in time.
He raised an eyebrow and sneered, "If he knew you were dead, he would be very sad, but I won't let you die. Keeping you alive makes this game more interesting."
He rolled up his sleeves, revealing arms covered in golden scales.
He plucked a scale from it, squatted down, grabbed Chu Yu's right hand, and placed the scale in her palm. The scale quickly turned into a golden light and entered her palm.
Afterwards, he took Chu Yu's pulse and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chu Yu's pulse was stronger.
He stared at Chu Yu, his gaze gradually turning gloomy and obsessive. After a long while, he coldly said, "You two couldn't be together before, so don't expect a good ending in this life either. Just you wait and see!"
He snorted coldly and was about to leave when a sudden inspiration struck him. A wicked smile appeared on his lips as he blew a breath towards Chu Yu, and then blew another breath in the direction where Jiang Huai'an had disappeared.
Then, he flashed into the sky, transforming into a streak of black light, and quickly disappeared into the horizon.
...
Yufu Garden in the capital.
When Song Ze hurriedly entered Fu Yunche's study, he found him sleeping on the table.
He quickly went up to him and patted him. Fu Yunche opened his eyes, saw it was him, and immediately sat up straight, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
He remembered that he was working on some documents, so how did he suddenly fall asleep on the table?
Song Ze didn't care whether he was sober or not, and said urgently, "Master Fu, the young mistress's third senior brother, Shen Moyang, called and said that he can't get in touch with the young mistress and Mr. Jiang."
Fu Yunche's expression changed slightly, and he asked urgently, "What happened? Why can't we contact them?"
Song Ze explained with concern: "There was a huge rainstorm in Xuancheng before, and a bridge leading to the capital was struck by lightning and fell down. The young mistress and her car happened to be on that section of the road, and Shen Moyang suspects that their car fell into the river."
Fu Yunche's heart skipped a beat. It was pouring rain, and the car had fallen into the river. That was too dangerous; the chances of survival were slim.
His heart sank instantly, and he anxiously ordered, "Send people to search immediately, at all costs, we must find Chu Yu and Jiang Huai'an."
"Yes! I'll arrange it right away."
Song Ze left in a hurry.
...
It was late at night.
The torrential rain had long since stopped, the floodwaters on the roads had receded, and the river had returned to calm.
The broken bridge was cordoned off with police tape. On the river, more than a dozen large boats and yachts were coming and going, urgently searching for people. There were also helicopters providing assistance from above.
Fu Yunche led a group of people on a ship. He looked around anxiously, searching for Chu Yu and Jiang Huai'an.
After receiving news that Chu Yu and the others had gone missing in the afternoon, Fu Yunche led his men to come and rescue them.
He searched from day to night but couldn't find the person, which made him extremely anxious.
The surrounding surveillance cameras were damaged by thunderstorms and had long been broken, which made the search for the missing person more difficult.
The usually calm Fu Yunche was gripped by immense fear and anxiety.
Seeing that he was pale and anxious, Song Ze, who was behind him, worried that his body couldn't take it, and came over to persuade him: "Master Fu, why don't you go into the cabin and rest? The police and the Fu family's bodyguards are looking for someone, and there should be news soon."
Fu Yunche had no intention of resting. Ignoring Song Ze, he picked up the walkie-talkie and asked the search team, "Any news?"
An excited voice came through the walkie-talkie: "We just found the car that fell into the river, and we're trying to get it out."
Fu Yunche's heart skipped a beat. They found the car. Didn't that mean that Chu Yu and the others' car really fell into the water?
His heart tightened, and he suddenly felt dizzy.
