Nalan Jingyue did not completely believe what he said and selectively ignored the questions he asked.
Then he continued, "My mother must have entered this dragon tomb, because I had a dragon scale on my body at that time. If it wasn't obtained from you, then where did it come from?"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Aotian's expression changed drastically, and he asked anxiously, "What dragon scale? Is the dragon scale you mentioned still there?"
Nalan Jingyue and the other two didn't expect that he would react so strongly when he heard the word "dragon scale", but after hesitating for a long time, they decided to take out the dragon scale and hand it to Aotian.
When Aotian saw the dragon scale, the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger. The golden dragon scale was lying safely on the palm of his hand, but the hand holding the dragon scale was shaking constantly.
Before he knew it, tears had already covered his cheeks.
Nalan Jingyue and the other two looked at each other, none of them understanding why he suddenly behaved like this, and waited for him to finally calm down.
Su Yao couldn't help but speak: "Senior, what's wrong with you?"
At this time, Aotian's face was pale and painful, as if he was suffering from immense pain in his heart.
As if he had made a major decision in his heart, he slowly spoke: "This is the heart-protecting scale of our clan. Although the people from the upper realm promised our clan to ascend to the upper realm, I also reminded my clansmen to be on the safe side.
Tell them to be extremely careful. If anything unexpected happens in the upper realm, they should find a way to send the Heart-Protecting Scale down to me. Just now you said this dragon scale belonged to your mother, and your mother is from the upper realm, so it must have been given to her by one of my people."
Hearing this, Ning Jing couldn't help but become curious: "But didn't you already make the sacrifice? What's the point of giving you the Heart Scale?"
"This is related to the gate to the fairyland you mentioned. Although I was overwhelmed by the huge benefits promised by the person from the upper realm, his words about closing the gate to the fairyland still aroused my vigilance.
At the time, I felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed, so at the last moment, I quietly went over and saw how he closed the door to the fairyland. "Speaking of this, Aotian looked excited.
"That's not right. Didn't you promise that man to stay here to sacrifice and imprison those monsters? How could you go and peek at him closing the door to the fairyland?" Ning Jing noticed the loophole in his words and couldn't help asking.
"That's a natural ability of our dragon race. We dragons are born with powerful spirits. Even if we sacrifice ourselves and die, our spirits need to stay here to suppress those monsters, but we can still spare a wisp of spirit to stay outside. That's how I used this method to spy on that person."
Nalan Jingyue frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "But you are already dead. Even if you get the dragon scale and know that your people are in danger, you can't escape to save them."
"Yes, I can't go to save him, but what if the gate to the fairyland can be opened again? I can't go, but you can. That person deliberately closed the gate to the fairyland. If I let someone reopen it,
That would definitely be a bad thing for him." Speaking of this, Aotian couldn't help but look a little excited.
"If that's the case, then how can we open the door to the fairyland?" Nalan Jingyue frowned. He originally thought that his mother's death was related to the dragon tomb. Now it seems that his mother's death was probably related to the fairyland.
"That man also took the heart blood of our dragon clan. On the day he closed the door to the fairyland, I only saw him pour our dragon blood on a strange stone, and the stone emitted a strange light.
Then the gate to the fairyland was closed, and after the stone was used up, it was thrown away by the man." Aotian said excitedly.
The two little ones were listening quietly beside them, without saying a word, and no one knew what they were thinking.
But Nalan Jingyue couldn't help but interrupt him halfway through listening.
"From what you said, you still don't know how to open the door to the fairyland? From what I hear, you only know that it has something to do with that stone, and that stone is now missing?"
Hearing his words, Aotian couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed: "You're not wrong to understand it that way."
Everyone was speechless.
Not to mention whether they can find the stone, now they don’t even know what the stone looks like.
Ning Jing couldn't help but complain, "Suppose what you said is true, that stone might be able to open the door to the fairyland again, but we don't know where to find that stone. We don't even know what it looks like!"
Aotian now realized the crux of the matter and could only cough lightly to hide his embarrassment.
"Actually, the stone was dropped on our continent. As for its appearance, it's nothing special. The surface is pitch black. Apart from that, I don't know much about it. I was quite far away at that time." Aotian became more and more embarrassed as he spoke. He felt that what he said was in vain.
But when Su Yao and Ning Jing heard these words, they felt as if they had seen them somewhere before!
Su Yao turned her head to look at Ning Jing and found that she was also looking at herself, and then they both shouted at the same time: "That stone!"
Aotian and Nalan Jingyue were confused by the two women's surprise.
Su Yao excitedly searched in her storage bag. Finally, she cried out in surprise: "Found it!"
Then she handed the thing she found to Aotian without saying a word. Aotian was startled by her lightning-fast movement.
Seeing that he was still in a daze, Su Yao couldn't help but urge him: "Senior, take a quick look, is this the stone?" Su Yao looked at Aotian with sparkling eyes.
At this time, Nalan Jingyue also saw what she was holding in her hand. He recognized it. It was the stone that opened the cave door in the underground palace. He also saw Su Yao put the stone away at that time. He didn't expect it to appear again now.
Seeing her take out a stone to show him so quickly, Aotian thought she just picked up a stone and treated it as a treasure, but when he looked at it carefully, his eyes widened instantly.
"This...this is impossible! How come this stone is in your hand?" Aotian looked at Su Yao in surprise.
"This is a long story. It was obtained by chance. Tell me, is this stone the one you want?" In fact, seeing his reaction, they had already guessed that this was the stone that could open the door to the fairyland.
"It is indeed that stone. I didn't expect that I could get it without any effort! Hahaha!" Aotian couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Then the only thing missing now is the dragon clan's heart blood. Senior, I believe you have already prepared for it, right?" Ning Jing said excitedly.
"You guessed right. I was indeed prepared. When he asked for our dragon's heart blood, I secretly kept a portion. At that time, I was just thinking about my people being taken to the upper realm.
I also wanted to sacrifice myself, leaving behind a portion of my blood just in case, but I didn't expect it would actually be useful." Aotian seemed to be in a very good mood.
