Sun Lanyu never thought that he would give up the victory that was within his grasp and come back to look for the news of the Jidu Dragon Seal, but in the end he would get such a result.
The red exclamation mark seemed to turn into a smiling face, mocking him mercilessly.
"Why?"
"Why on earth is this happening?"
Sun Lanyu had a ferocious look on his face, and quickly switched to another account to send messages to Shen Yuan, and sent another questioning message to Shen Yuan.
The next second, a red exclamation mark appeared in front of Sun Lanyu again.
As it turned out, Shen Yuan blocked both of his accounts after replying to the message. Sun Lanyu, who had just seen a glimmer of hope, completely fell into the abyss at this moment.
“Bang!”
The violent emotional fluctuations made Sun Lanyu unable to even control his magic power. The disordered magic power fluctuations directly blew up the entire computer.
Looking at the computer that had turned into rubble, the madness in Sun Lanyu's eyes became more and more ferocious.
"Luoyun!"
"Don't let me know who you are!"
“I will definitely slaughter your entire clan and kill everyone in your sect.
I will extract your spirit from your body and refine it into a soul lamp, letting you endure the torment of burning soul for a hundred years, a thousand years, or even ten thousand years!"
The furious voice echoed along the shore, and the uncontrolled magic power continued to affect the Dragon Palace Edict in his arms, stirring the river water along with his emotional fluctuations.
The water flow created a huge wave on the shore, directly smashing several ships of the Sun family that were parked there in the distance into the river. Dozens of people on the ships screamed for help, but did not receive any sympathy from Sun Lanyu.
He frantically controlled the river water, destroying everything within his sight.
In the distance, many of the Sun family's confidants were watching this place and trembling in fear, not daring to approach the crazy Sun Lanyu at all.
Ever since the Golden Eagle Mountain God chopped off Sun Lanyu's legs in the Yunfu Mountains, his temperament has become increasingly extremely violent. He even killed several direct members of the Sun family because of his disabled legs.
This emotional impact even reflected in his improvement in cultivation.
With the support of abundant resources, Sun Lanyu was promoted to the middle stage of Qi Transformation more than a month ago. However, due to the extreme change in his temperament, his mind was unstable and his cultivation was unable to make any progress.
Even if one takes rare treasures to force a breakthrough, it will only leave hidden dangers.
How could Sun Lanyu not know about the problem of his changing temperament?
But he knew very well that compared with what he was about to encounter, improving his cultivation was of no importance at all.
The reason he was able to become the agent of Jidu Dragon Palace was entirely because Jidu Dragon Palace needed someone to find the Jidu Dragon Seal.
The fact that he was able to command many water gods, control the mainstream of the Ji River, and even annex Cangzhou with the help of the power of the water tribes was based on the deterrence of the Jidu Dragon Palace.
However, two full months had passed, and apart from the initial news he received on the Wendao forum, Sun Lanyu had not received any more information about the Jidu Dragon Seal.
He went to the Imperial Observatory to try to inquire about Luo Yun's information, but was forcibly driven out of the imperial capital by the Imperial Observatory.
He mobilized the Jidu water tribe to test the Yellow River water tribe, wanting to confirm whether the Yellow River Dragon Palace was involved in the Jidu Dragon Seal incident, but was defeated by the big monster in the Yellow River water tribe.
All channels for searching for information were fruitless, but the order from Jidu Dragon Palace was imminent.
Even though he is now in great glory as the ruler of the Jishui River, if he fails to come up with an answer that satisfies the Jidu Dragon Palace, his end will be extremely miserable.
At that time, even if the Jidu Dragon Palace did not punish him, as long as the news was released to the outside world to withdraw his Dragon Palace decree, countless people who had been persecuted by him would kill him.
In this situation, Sun Lanyu can only place his hopes on Luo Yun.
Knowing that Luo Yun answered questions to search for points, he began to sell off the Sun family's property to exchange for points.
Since the Sun family's assets were insufficient, he used the power of the water tribe to conquer the major families, plundering their wealth wantonly to continue exchanging points.
However, after a large number of points were spent, Luo Yun still did not react. Sun Lanyu then mobilized the Jishui people to collect high fees from passing ships, in order to make money and exchange them for points to give to Luo Yun.
Many ships chose land transportation due to the high cost, so Sun Lanyu mobilized water flows to destroy bridges and dismantle railways, making water transportation the only mode of transportation in Cangzhou.
Such an action would inevitably arouse the hostility of the Great Xia court, but Sun Lanyu could no longer care about that.
Sun Lanyu was well aware that such behavior might still not get a response from Luo Yun, but this was the only thing he could do. In such a situation, he could only regard Luo Yun as a life-saving straw.
He is like a crazy gambler, betting everything in the hope of a comeback.
Finally, he received such a piece of news that teased him, which completely broke Sun Lanyu's defense.
He realized that Luo Yun had never taken him seriously from the beginning to the end, and even the news about the so-called Yellow River True Dragon might be misleading.
"We must find him! We must find him!"
Sun Lanyu's eyes were red and his whole body was trembling. His desire to kill Luo Yun was even stronger than his desire to find Ji Du's dragon seal.
At this moment, one of Sun Lanyu's confidants cautiously stepped onto the devastated shore.
"Master, Mr. Bai is here."
Sun Lanyu suddenly turned his head, his red eyes filled with terrifying madness.
"Bai Zhao? What is he doing here?"
"He said he brought good news to the young master."
Sun Lanyu, who was in a furious state, wanted to scold him directly, but considering the information that Bai Zhao had provided before, Sun Lanyu restrained his emotions a little.
"Send him over."
A few days ago, Sun Lanyu relied on Bai Zhao's information channels to determine that the Imperial Observatory held the conference to intimidate the Cangzhou water tribe.
So Sun Lanyu used the Great Xia court as a threat and asked the Jidu Dragon Palace for a sect plaque. He established the so-called Jishui Sect, avoided the edge of the Great Xia court, and resolved this wave of crisis.
However, due to the unexpected situation brought about by Luo Yun's news, Sun Lanyu did not successfully enter the Xuanhuang Tower, so this counterattack failed.
Thinking of this, Sun Lanyu suddenly felt a pain in his heart.
You should know that when he went to Jidu Dragon Palace to ask for the sect plaque this time, his ancestor Tingchao Dragon Envoy had already warned him that Jidu Dragon King was very dissatisfied with his progress in finding the Jidu Dragon Seal, and had given him a month to find the Jidu Dragon Seal.
If there is still no news after a month, Jidu Dragon Palace will select a new spokesperson.
In order to resolve the crisis, Jidu Dragon Palace issued an ultimatum with a deadline of one month. However, he paid such a huge price but failed to get the deserved reward, which made Sun Lanyu more and more resentful of Luo Yun.
Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a pure white gown and holding a folding fan walked to the shore.
"Just tell me what news you have!"
Sun Lanyu had no intention of exchanging pleasantries, but spoke directly.
Bai Zhao saluted to Sun Lanyu gracefully, and then said softly:
"I know what Mr. Sun wants."
Sun Lanyu sneered and looked at Bai Zhao with disdain in his eyes.
"I want the Jidu Dragon Seal. Can you find it for me?" Bai Zhao shook his head and said with a smile:
"What a precious treasure the Jidu Dragon Seal is. How can I know the whereabouts of the Jidu Dragon Seal?"
Sun Lanyu glanced at Bai Zhao and said, "Since you sent me the message before, I will not kill you this time. You can go now."
Bai Zhao did not change his mind at all because of Sun Lanyu's words, but smiled and said:
"I don't know the whereabouts of the Jidu Dragon Seal, but I know someone knows the information about it."
Sun Lanyu's pupils trembled slightly, and he subconsciously looked at several close friends in the distance, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Did they tell you?"
Bai Zhao slowly approached Sun Lanyu, gently waved the fan in his hand and said:
"Mr. Sun went to the Imperial Observatory in the capital and tried to find out the detailed information about Luo Yun through the Observatory. This is not a secret, and I happen to know the whereabouts of Luo Yun at this moment."
As soon as these words were spoken, Sun Lanyu's expression suddenly changed. He used his magical power to move closer to Bai Zhao with his broken legs, staring at Bai Zhao's eyes with his red eyes.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course I take it seriously!"
Bai Zhao said confidently:
"The Dao forum of the Imperial Observatory involves a Dao artifact, so ordinary means are naturally unable to crack the Dao forum.
But I also used some special means to monitor the information about Luo Yun's account.
Just a few minutes ago, I got the news that Luo Yun's account logged in again after two months, and the IP address used to log in was Qingping County. "
Sun Lanyu's expression became dazed, and he kept repeating Bai Zhao's words:
"Qingping County, Qingping County!"
Bai Zhao raised his lips and spoke slowly, as if in the tone of a bewitching demon god:
"Having appeared in Qingping County at this time, it is almost certain that he is here for the Wendao Forum.
Not long after Luo Yun logged into his account, Master Sun received a message from Luo Yun and hurriedly gave up his plan to test the Imperial Observatory.
The timing of this incident is so coincidental that it makes people wonder, are there really such coincidences in this world?"
“So I can be sure that Luo Yun must be in the Xuanhuang Tower.
He saw that Master Sun had appeared and threatened the Imperial Observatory, so he logged into his account and used a message reply to successfully lead Master Sun away, thus defusing the crisis at the Imperial Observatory.
"Why did he help the Imperial Observatory? Why did the Imperial Observatory still refuse to investigate your background information when you came here in the name of Jidu Dragon Palace?
Because that Luo Yun is from the Imperial Observatory!"
As soon as these words came out, Sun Lanyu felt his mind suddenly become clear.
"Yes! Absolutely!"
"He is definitely in the Xuanhuang Tower!"
Sun Lanyu seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. He held Bai Zhao's shoulders tightly with both hands, his crazy face full of ecstasy.
"As long as we catch him, we can find the whereabouts of the Jidu Dragon Seal and complete the order of the Jidu Dragon Palace!"
Bai Zhao glanced at Sun Lanyu's hands that were grasping his shoulders, frowned slightly, and then continued in a gentle tone:
"But Xuanhuang Tower represents the authority of the Imperial Observatory. There are so many sect members and Imperial Observatory members inside. Can you be sure which one it is? Will the Imperial Observatory allow you to successfully capture Luo Yun?"
When Bai Zhao said this, the ecstasy on Sun Lanyu's face froze, and then he said hesitantly:
"Then what should I do?"
"Look for Jidu Dragon Palace! Since Master Sun knows the exact information about who has the Jidu Dragon Seal and has determined the other party's location, he should naturally look for Jidu Dragon Palace to take action.
After all, it is the Dragon Palace that needs the Jidu Dragon Seal, not you, Master Sun."
Sun Lanyu suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment:
"Yes! Find Jidu Dragon Palace to take action!
On the Ji River, no force can resist the Jidu Dragon Palace, not even the Great Xia court. "
As he spoke, Sun Lanyu patted Bai Zhao's shoulder fiercely, laughed wildly and said:
"If you can find the Jidu Dragon Seal this time, I will definitely give you credit for the first achievement. The Bai family merchant ships in the rivers within Cangzhou can travel freely without paying any taxes!"
After he finished speaking, Sun Lanyu looked at the dragon in the river in the distance and said loudly:
"Take me to the Dragon Palace quickly. I have something important to report to His Majesty the Dragon King!"
A moment later, Sun Lanyu, riding on the dragon, disappeared on the river bank.
Bai Zhao looked at Sun Lanyu's departing figure, and the smile on his face slowly faded.
Bai Zhao flicked the non-existent dust off his shoulder with his right hand, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
Beside him, an old figure hidden in the void showed a vague outline and spoke in a low voice:
“Sir, is it necessary to attach so much importance to a small character?
Even if he can borrow strength from Jidu Dragon Palace, he is still just an insignificant little character, not worthy of your coming here in person."
Bai Zhaowei raised his eyebrows and said:
"Sun Lanyu is just a dog of Jidu Dragon Palace, but as long as he can cause disputes, Sun Lanyu is also a valuable dog."
“The matter of the Yunfu Mountains failed because of the sudden appearance of the Donghuang Divine Monarch, and did not lead to a fight between the major sects and the Yunfu demon race.
I also escaped the disaster by running away in advance when I saw the situation was not good, otherwise I might have encountered that god head on.
This Cangzhou Taoist Conference is an excellent opportunity to cause a struggle between the human race and the Jidu Dragon Palace, and there is even hope of involving all the Four Du Dragon Palaces.
Once successful, the karma it brings will be enough to allow me to return to the realm of the demon king. I must ensure that the plan goes smoothly."
The old voice grinned with dry lips, and there was a hint of cunning on the mouse-like face.
"Then I would like to congratulate you here for regaining your peak strength."
But Bai Zhao's face did not show much joy, instead he shook his head slightly and said:
"Rediscover the peak again? The realm of the demon king is just equal to that of a human being, which is far from the peak period.
What's more, it's just a shell with power. Without the magical power inheritance, it can't be put on the stage. "
Bai Zhao's words seemed to mention some untouchable taboos. The old figure instantly restrained his smile, lowered his head and said nothing.
Bai Zhao took a look and shook his head in boredom:
“Stubborn old things are really boring.
By the way, I heard that you seem to have obtained something extraordinary."
"Your Excellency is very wise, but that thing may not be a great treasure. It is just related to an important person."
Bai Zhao became interested: "Big shot?"
"It is said that the item was left by a great man who was revered as the Supreme Daoist by the Dongtian Paradise thousands of years ago and who was the most powerful genius of his generation."
