Chapter 24: First Hearing of 'Dragon Lord'

"Secretary Ye, you're here." Duan Shi greeted Ye Caiying who pushed the door open.

They were in a huge conference room, preparing to study the unexpected situation that Liu Jimeng had just discovered when he broke through.

Qiao Ji and Liu Jimeng sat in the front row. Neither of them spoke, but were both lost in thought. Several members of the intelligence team were talking in low voices not far from them, operating on the virtual screen in front of them, apparently exchanging intelligence.

Ye Caiying greeted him back, looked around, and walked straight to Duan Shi. "How is it, did you find anything?"

Duan Shi shook his head with regret. The leader of the intelligence team next to him heard Ye Caiying's question, stood up and walked towards them.

While showing the information on the virtual screen to Duan Shi and Ye Caiying, he said, "Secretary Ye, after receiving the news from Team Leader Duan, our intelligence team immediately retrieved reports from various places. After careful screening and comparison, we found that when Miss Liu broke through, there were no abnormalities in the spiritual energy and other values."

Ye Caiying trusted the intelligence team's ability, so he did not question the credibility of the report. He just sighed a little sadly, "The biggest problem now is that there is no problem."

Duan Shi and Yu Cheng both understood Ye Caiying's concerns.

According to Qiao Ji, when a cultivator breaks through a realm, there is a moment when he can communicate with heaven and earth and sense the major events that will happen in the near future. This prediction may be related to oneself, the people around you, or the general trend of the world, but no matter what it is related to, this thing is what will happen in the future.

This is the only time that ordinary monks can clearly predict the future, so every monk will carefully write down what they perceive.

And now, when Liu Jimeng was breaking through, he sensed something extraordinary happening. Even Senior Qiao Ji, who was guarding beside him, felt it as well. This made them extremely nervous.

However, after investigation, no obvious abnormalities were found in the flower-growing areas during that period.

This situation is even more worrying.

"Okay, stop thinking about it here." Ye Caiying interrupted the solemn atmosphere, walked to the middle seat and sat down, and began to preside over the meeting. "First, let Xiao Liu and Qiao Ji tell us in detail what they have sensed."

Before, Duan Shi simply asked about the importance of the matter. After Qiao Ji and Liu Jimeng both said that it was very important and related to the changes in the world, he contacted Ye Caiying as soon as possible and then notified all relevant personnel to hold a meeting.

So now, apart from knowing that the matter is very serious, everyone does not know the specific situation.

Liu Jimeng stood up and without further ado, began to narrate what she 'saw' during her breakthrough.

"When I first started to break through, everything went smoothly. Just like what my predecessors introduced, a huge amount of spiritual energy rushed into my meridians and was absorbed, and then began to transform my meridians and body. After the transformation reached a certain level, my realm naturally broke through. It was indeed not too difficult." She first gave a brief introduction to her breakthrough process, and then began to talk about the key points.

"At the moment of connecting heaven and earth after the breakthrough, it was as if my soul left my body and arrived at Mount Tai in the neighboring Ning'an City. I looked at Mount Tai from a God's perspective. I don't know what happened to the originally peaceful Mount Tai, but suddenly there was an aura that made my soul tremble. Then within two seconds, I woke up."

"Taishan?" Ye Caiying frowned fiercely. This was the worst situation.

Mount Tai has a very special meaning for growing flowers.

"It makes your soul tremble? Does this aura feel stronger to you than that of your predecessors and the witch?" Duan Shi asked further.

Everyone present knew about the existence of witches, so he didn't shy away from using them as an analogy.

"When I was making a deal with the witch, I didn't feel any aura, so I can't be sure whether this aura is stronger than the witch." Liu Jimeng did not completely confirm Duan Shi's statement. After all, she was just an ordinary person when she came into contact with the witch, and she didn't have any special feeling when facing the witch.

At this time, Qiao Ji said: "Yes, that aura is stronger than me and the witch. If my guess is correct, it should be that adult, a Taiyi Zhenxian."

"What?!"

"Senior, are you sure what you said is true?!!!"

"Really?!"

“Seriously?!!”

Except for Hashihime who threw the 'bomb', everyone attending the meeting was instantly shocked to the point that their souls left their bodies, and their ears were filled with buzzing sounds, as if they had suddenly become deaf.

'Wow, their reaction is really big. '

Orange was frightened by everyone's ferocious looks. Is this matter so scary?

Chu Yi nodded solemnly to everyone who was staring at her, but secretly she began to chat happily with Juzi.

'Of course, this is Taiyi Zhenxian. More powerful than the witch, Hashihime is totally incomparable. If he was the enemy of humans, there would be no one in the world who could fight him, so of course they would be afraid. '

'Then they will be very happy later, after all, the Dragon King appeared to help humans practice. ' Orange guessed optimistically.

'No, no, no, they will still be very worried. Chu Yi denied it again and again. Humans are not just elves. Even if I say that the Dragon King is the guardian of the human race and that he showed up this time to help humans, they will not feel at ease at all. '

'Eh? But why? 'Although Orange has seen many dark things, it is always willing to believe in the beauty of the world and is unwilling to think of everything in a bad way.

Chu Yi sometimes felt helpless about Orange's naivety, but he didn't think about changing it. Orange is just a simple elf, why must he learn the intrigues of humans? It's nice to just stay with her like this.

"...Senior Qiao Ji." Ye Caiying supported the table with both hands, half bent over, his expression as stiff as a stone, "This is not a joke. Are you sure what you just said is true?"

Being questioned like this, Qiao Ji was not angry, but just confirmed again, "Of course I know, even if I have been dead for many years, I am still a human. I like this country for the time being, and I will not harm you in this matter."

"......"

"......"

After receiving this answer, Ye Caiying didn't know whether he should be happy that his country had conquered this senior "ancestor" or be afraid of the authenticity of the news.

The meeting room was dead silent and no one dared to speak.

Finally, Duan Shi interrupted the silence. He pretended to be calm and said, "Then may I ask Senior Qiao Ji, who do you think this important person is?"

Qiao Ji did not answer the question directly, but mentioned a seemingly unrelated topic, "You should have investigated the legends related to Taishan, right?"

Ye Caiying looked at Yu Cheng, and Yu Cheng understood and stood up.

After some operations, the information on the personal virtual screen was enlarged and projected into the air. "After sorting out by our intelligence department, there are about a dozen legends about Mount Tai. Combining the ancient information provided by Senior Qiao Ji, there are five most plausible theories."

Having said that, Yu Cheng paused and switched the page to the corresponding legend. Then he continued: "First, Mount Tai is the intersection of the dragon veins of the land of Shenzhou. If something happens to Mount Tai, Shenzhou will be in trouble. Second, Mount Tai suppresses an evil demon, and sacrifices are required every year to strengthen the seal..."

"Third: A real dragon once appeared on Mount Tai. The real dragon happened to pass by Mount Tai and met a destined person, and granted him an opportunity."

The third point was not said by Yu Cheng, but by Qiao Ji. She interrupted Yu Cheng and talked about the legend seriously.

"......"

Now that things have come to this, what else do you not understand?

It seems that the adult that Hashihime was talking about is the real dragon in the legend.

To be honest, everyone breathed a sigh of relief after the mystery was solved. If that big shot is a real dragon, and considering that Qiao Ji doesn't look particularly serious, the situation shouldn't be too bad.

"Then please introduce this gentleman to us, senior." Guessing that the situation might not be that serious, Ye Caiying slowed down his tone, restored his usual confident leadership style, and gently asked Qiao Ji.

Except for him, all the other participants also reluctantly relaxed their tense nerves and listened attentively to Qiao Ji's story.

"I don't know much about this Excellency. I've basically only heard the legends passed down by word of mouth by the monks. It's true that Mount Tai suppressed evil demons, but it was purified long ago. It was this real dragon who purified the evil demons. It is said that there were evil demons from outside the domain that wreaked havoc on a region. After paying the price of blood, the monks on earth sealed the evil demons in Mount Tai. However, they did not have the ability to purify the evil demons, so they set up a powerful seal and left behind the custom of annual sacrifices to suppress and purify them with the luck of the human race."

After saying so much in one breath, she paused to slow down and wait for everyone to digest it.

"However, the evil demon was also accumulating strength. Finally, when the spiritual energy in the world began to gradually disappear, the evil demon broke through the seal in one fell swoop, intending to repeat its old tricks and wreak havoc on the world. As a result, it happened to meet the Dragon King, who purified it directly after seeing it."

After hearing the story, everyone felt more relieved. Since this Dragon King was able to purify evil spirits for the benefit of the people of the world, he should not suddenly change his personality and cause harm to the world when he is born now.

Only then did Ye Caiying let out the anger that had been pent up in his chest and revealed the smile that usually appeared on his face.

He stood up and relaxed his muscles that had been tense for a long time, walked to the water dispenser in the corner to get a glass of water, and then slowly walked back to his seat with the glass. He did not sit down again, but stood beside his seat, drinking water and slowly saying: "Then logically this Dragon King should be in the upper realm, how come he woke up from Mount Tai?"

Duan Shi also stood up and relaxed his body. Seeing Ye Caiying go to get some water, he whispered to Liu Jimeng beside him if he wanted some water. After getting an affirmative answer, he also took two paper cups to get some water.

Although others did not dare to be so casual, they also moved their bodies in their seats, and for a moment the conference room was filled with a relaxed atmosphere.

"I don't know exactly what happened." Qiao Ji shook her head. These were all things she had collected sporadically, and she didn't know any more detailed information. "But I know that the Dragon Lord has another title."

"What is it?" Liu Jimeng asked curiously.

"Guardian of the human race."

Duan Shi repeated doubtfully, "Guardian of the human race? Does this mean that this Dragon King has been protecting the human race?"

"Yes, the true identity of the Dragon King cannot be verified, but some cultivators have speculated that this Dragon King may be related to the dragon veins on the land of flowers. That is why he cares more about human affairs than other immortals."

"So that's the case. It looks like we will have another helper." Ye Caiying participated in the discussion with great interest.

"It seems so." Duan Shi agreed. But he still had his doubts. Who knew whether Long Jun was still willing to continue to be the "Guardian of the Human Race"?

"Senior, is Lord Long's name 'Lord Long'?" Yu Cheng was quite curious about this. The name 'Lord Long' sounded more like a respectful title rather than a person's name.

"No way?" Qiao Ji thought for a moment and realized that no one had mentioned the name of the Dragon Lord. "I haven't heard anyone mention the name of the Dragon Lord. Everyone has always called him the Dragon Lord."

Well, actually that’s how the set was designed, and she was too lazy to come up with one herself, so she just introduced it like that. This is also the reason why the debut scene is set in Mount Tai. It just so happens that there are ready-made legends in Mount Tai that can be applied, so she doesn't have to play tricks.
