The gale beneath the icy abyss was incredibly powerful; even Mo Yan, a Void Realm cultivator, had half her demonic body destroyed, let alone Mei Yu'er, a Spirit Void Realm cultivator…
But if it were Zhu Xuan himself who came, then it would be hard to say!
Behind Shen Yunhao, Zi Teng frowned and suddenly asked, "Hey! You little crybaby! Did you know there was a dragon clan ruin here before?"
After a moment of stunned silence, Zhu Li realized that Mo Yan was referring to her as a "little crybaby." Her face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, almost burying it in her chest. After a long while, she whispered shyly.
"I...I don't know..."
"Hmph! Knows nothing, what a useless dragon! And this so-called Seventh Princess? Really... Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! What are you doing!"
Shen Yunhao grabbed the girl's ear, pulled her close, and pressed her face down on his lap.
"Wait! What are you doing? You..."
"Smack!"
With a loud slap on her bottom, Mo Yan froze on the spot, speechless, her body bent over, her little face flushed red...
The little girl got a spanking from Shen Yunhao right in front of Zhuli, and she probably won't have the confidence to be arrogant in front of Xiaobailong anymore.
"You have no sense of propriety! If you keep talking like that, I'll beat your bottom until it's bruised and battered..."
"you!"
The girl glared at him angrily, grabbed Shen Yunhao's left hand, and bit it hard.
"Hiss—you little brat, you're a dog!"
Afterwards, Zhu Li was initially stunned to see Shen Yunhao bullying the little girl in public. However, after observing Mo Yan's reaction, she seemed to understand something, and a faint, complex emotion flashed in her eyes...
These two... finally got what they wanted...
After taking a bite, perhaps because she felt too embarrassed, Mo Yan got up and hid behind Shen Yunhao without saying a word.
Shen Yunhao shook his head with a smile, "A silly older sister and a naughty younger sister... From now on, you'll call her sister-in-law, and she'll call you sister-in-law, each of you... Ouch!"
Before he could finish speaking, he received a back hook from Mo Yan, and shook his head sullenly, "If you don't want to yell, then don't yell... why hit me..."
"..."
After the playful banter, Shen Yunhao started to get down to business.
"Sister Li'er, do you really not know that there are dragon ruins beneath Polaris Valley? Why don't you... take some time to ask the other elders in the clan?"
Zhu Li frowned slightly. "I've rarely heard of anyone going to Polaris Valley... I'll ask Uncle Hong another day and ask him to help me find out."
Shen Yunhao nodded, "Besides the totems, there are some very strange bone dragons here. No matter how badly they're destroyed, they can always reform..."
"Bone dragons? Yun Hao... are you sure those are all dragons?"
"Tch! Can't I tell if they're dragons or not?" Mo Yan poked half her head out from Shen Yunhao's shoulder, looking displeased. "Those dragons... are clearly cursed, endlessly reborn, and ordinary methods simply can't kill them!"
"curse?"
Shen Yunhao was taken aback when he heard this. He suddenly recalled the words engraved on the totem.
The place where the sleepers rest forever, and those who are awakened will surely be punished by heaven.
What is meant by "...the Sleeper"?
Could it be that...
Thinking of this, Shen Yunhao's expression became quite solemn, and he asked, "Sister Li'er... for your dragon clan, where are the deceased ancestors buried?"
“Dead dragons?” Zhu Li frowned and pondered for a long time. “The number of true dragons is extremely small, and very few true dragons have perished in recent years… If I remember correctly, after a dragon dies, it should be buried by Father himself in… the Land of the Ancestral Dragon!”
"The Land of the Ancestral Dragon!?"
Upon hearing this title, Shen Yunhao and Mo Yan were both startled at the same time.
Shen Yunhao had heard Zhu Li mention this place long ago. It was the place where the core members of the Dragon Clan obtained the blood of the Ancestral Dragon to purify their own Dragon Clan bloodline. It was also a forbidden area of the North Sea Dragon Clan, which could only be opened by successive Dragon Kings to allow qualified clansmen to go there for training.
If I and my little sister are really in the Land of the Ancestral Dragon right now.
Being confronted by Zhu Xuan doesn't seem like something to be thankful for...
“Yun Hao, I once heard my mother say that the Ancestral Dragon Land is very important to the North Sea Dragon Clan. It is a large secret realm and it is impossible for it to be just a simple place under the Polar Star Valley. If everyone can enter, then what secrets will our Dragon Clan have left?”
Hearing Zhu Li's explanation, Shen Yunhao nodded.
Although this place is very hidden, the fact that the white dragon lantern that fell from the Ice Abyss could appear here means that there must be a natural entrance here, and it is unlikely to be a sacred place of the dragon race.
"So... Yunhao, you must contact your father as soon as possible. With your father here, you will all be alright!"
Regardless of whether it is the Ancestral Dragon Land or not, Zhu Li would definitely prioritize Shen Yunhao's safety.
Even if Zhu Xuan had accidentally trespassed into the Dragon Clan's forbidden area, as long as it didn't cause any major consequences, Shen Yunhao wouldn't have killed him outright...
At this moment, the fog on the white dragon lantern began to fluctuate in intensity and gradually fade, a sign that the "battery" was about to run out.
Theoretically, a fully charged white dragon lamp should be able to support a two-hour video call.
Perhaps because it hadn't been used for a long time, or perhaps because it had been damaged during the fall, only half an hour had passed, and the white dragon lamp was already unable to hold on.
"How could it be so fast..."
Almost simultaneously, Zhu Li and Shen Yunhao uttered a reluctant complaint.
Shen Yunhao's brows softened, a gentle warmth appearing on his face. He raised his hand and gently brushed away the water droplets. "Sister Li'er, I'll go find you soon. Wait for me..."
"I will always wait for you..."
Before the words were even finished, the fog slowly dissipated, and the flame on the lamp wick went out.
Shen Yunhao remained silent for a long time before sighing and putting away the white dragon lantern.
The cave fell into darkness again. Shen Yunhao stroked the delicate dragon patterns on the lamp wall, feeling a slight coolness on his fingertips.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Mo Yan stepped forward and patted the boy on the shoulder. "Little Waste Dragon is right, we need to get out of this awful place as soon as possible."
Shen Yunhao gave her a long, cold look. Mo Yan immediately took two steps back, her expression wary, and covered her buttocks with one hand. "What? Can't I say a few words even when she's not here?"
"Forget it, I can't be bothered with you! Let's find an exit first. Since the White Dragon Lantern fell here, there must be a passage connecting it to the ground!"
The two embarked on another journey through the underground cave.
Fortunately, this time no bone dragons came looking for trouble; it seemed that the awakened bone dragons had fallen back into slumber...
"It seems we've gone around in circles again. This place is like a maze!"
Flying to a certain place, Mo Yan looked at the two giant stalactites hanging in mid-air, her expression somewhat unpleasant.
This is the third time they've come back to this spot!
"The power of space cannot be used, and divine sense is also restricted, unable to spread out... Is this really not a secret realm?"
Shen Yunhao, standing behind him, frowned, feeling as if he had seen this situation somewhere before...
