The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Before the Black Dragon Sect captain could rest, Ling Juan launched a new offensive. This time, he had a good grasp of his opponent's strength and thus revealed his true power.

"Wind and Fire Piercing Heart Kick!"

Ling Juan leaped into the air, her feet seemingly oiled, and charged forward. Flames slowly swirled around her feet, but they weren't ordinary flames; they seemed to be similar to Samadhi True Fire. Once burned by that kind of true fire, it was impossible to extinguish unless an arm was severed.

"Stop them! Hurry up!"

At this moment, the Black Dragon Clan captain had lost his former grandeur and was filled with panic. His hands were already crippled, and now he had no ability to protect himself.

"I come!"

Another member of the Black Dragon Clan blocked the attack with his shield, but a large footprint was smashed deep into the shield, which was still burning, with faint red sparks still visible.

With no other option, he had to throw away the shield he relied on for survival. Now, those two men in black were truly doomed; they had even had their livelihood taken away.

Ling Juan held her breath and focused her mind, tightening her dantian and exposing her forehead. At this moment, a mark appeared on her forehead, resembling some kind of eye, but not quite an eye.

"Laser scanning!"

Seeing the laser beam shooting straight at Ling Juan's forehead, both of them were terrified. At this moment, the Black Dragon Sect captain revealed his cunning side, placing a large hand on his teammate's head and applying pressure without saying a word, thus controlling him.

"I'm sorry, please don't be my teammate in the next life!"

After saying that, he used his teammates as live targets, then disappeared in a puff of black smoke. The laser beams slammed into his teammates, sending blood and flesh flying, and even piercing their internal organs.

"You just wait, I'll call our clan's Grand Elder to deal with you! Hahahaha~"

The echo lingered in the forest for a long time. Ling Juan also reverted to her original mode. Her hair, no longer flowing, covered her forehead, and the mark on her forehead disappeared.

"Looks like we don't need to chase anymore! Let's hurry and find the dragon egg. It seems the other side is quite powerful. We'll be in big trouble when the elders arrive!"

"I finally managed to win you over, how did this happen?"

Seeing Jiang Chuan arrive late, Ling Juan became serious and spoke to him.

"We've been targeted by a group called the Black Dragon Sect. For now, the enemy is in the shadows while we're in the open, so we have to be careful."

After hearing this, Jiang Chuan took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to Ling Juan.

"This was found in the pocket of the man in black I killed. Take a look at what it is."

Ling Juan took a closer look, without smelling it, but carefully examined the texture and smoothness of the pill.

"Its surface is moist and shiny, and the pills are about the size of soybeans. It doesn't look like a drug at all, but rather like a food."

"Oh? Is this all the food they have?"

"No, I don't think they ate it themselves. I suspect it was used for something else. Could it be to lure a real dragon?"

"That's not necessarily true. We're looking for a real dragon egg, not a real dragon! Besides, how could a tiny pill possibly be enough?"

Ling Juan glanced at it, squatted down and examined it carefully. The outer packaging was very exquisite and clearly not ordinary.

"Let's go first, we can study this pill later!"

After saying that, the two of them took to the air again. Jiang Chuan rode his Dragon Roar Sword, while Ling Juan relied on her own speed to travel.

In the blink of an eye, we arrived at Red City. According to the map of Red City, it seems that the location of the dragon egg can be found.

"Look ahead! There's a hurricane! Could it be a sign of a dragon egg?"

"I think so! Let's go over and take a look, but remember to be careful."

Looking at the spirit scroll in front of him, which made him feel very safe, Jiang Chuan felt a mix of emotions. How could he be so weak? After so many trials, he thought he could protect a city, but he never expected that he could only protect one city.

Upon reaching the eye of the hurricane, they discovered a cave ahead. The temperature inside the cave was far higher than the surrounding area, creating a sweltering heat.

Jiang Chuan activated the Dragon Roar Sword to protect his entire body from the temperature fluctuations, but he couldn't enter the hurricane at the center with his bare body.

"I'll try sealing magic. I remember Scarlet Witch once taught me how to seal an object."

Lingjuan gestured for him to give it a try, otherwise this hurricane would really be a headache, especially a Category 10 hurricane. Even standing far away would get you swept up, let alone the two of them who were almost in the eye of the hurricane.

Jiang Chuan adjusted his breathing, inhaled deeply, and channeled his inner strength from his dantian. Then, he made continuous hand gestures in the air, and finally, in one smooth motion, a blue "seal" character appeared in front of him.

"It worked! This is the first time I've used this sealing spell, and it was only after the Scarlet Witch demonstrated it to me once."

"Try it quickly!"

Jiang Chuan excitedly chanted the incantation, and the sealing technique transformed into a large net that covered the entire hurricane's mouth. The hurricane instantly disappeared, and the surroundings returned to tranquility. Only then did the two of them feel a little better.

"It seems that if you master this sealing technique, you can accomplish a lot. If you encounter someone stronger than yourself, you can subdue them with just one sealing technique."

Jiang Chuan smiled and shook his head.

"I can't cast spells quickly yet. Before I can finish chanting the incantation, the enemy might seize the opportunity to use it against me."

"That's true, good luck then!"

"Quickly, my sealing technique won't last much longer, hurry up and get in."

The two rushed into the cave. At that moment, a group of uninvited guests arrived in Hongshi. They were all dressed in black, and their headgear had the character "dragon" on it. Among the seven or eight people, the one in the middle was obviously much older and seemed to be a master.

Are you sure they've arrived here too?

"Confirmed, Elder, they are right in front of us."

"Hahaha! Since they've all come looking for the True Dragon Egg, let them die without a burial place. Let their flesh and blood be a sacrifice for our Black Dragon Sect members."

After saying this, the elder led the way forward. Just then, Jiang Chuan's sealing technique disappeared, and the hurricane started again, blocking the Black Dragon Sect's path.

With a wave of his hand, the elder unleashed bursts of lightning in the sky, accompanied by the roar of dragons, which struck the surrounding hillsides. Instantly, the earth cracked and the mountains shattered, forming a mountain wall that blocked the air vent.

Solving the hurricane was simple and brutal; this was probably the most effective way a seasoned hunter could think of when facing hardship. The captain beside the elder kept flattering him.

"Elder, you truly possess boundless magical power! It seems the position of sect leader in the future is undoubtedly yours!"

The Grand Elder was all smiles. He loved it when his subordinates flattered him, especially the position of Sect Master, which he had coveted for a long time. If he had the strength to do so, he probably would have overthrown the current Black Dragon Sect Master long ago.

"Follow!"

A group of people entered the cave. Jiang Chuan and Ling Juan had been walking around inside for a long time without any clues; the cave was intricate and complex, like a large maze. "Someone's coming from behind, should we..."

"No! The people behind us seem very strong. We shouldn't make a sound for now!"

The two immediately hid and concealed their presence completely in order to avoid being exposed.

"Let's leave quietly. We must not let them get the dragon egg. This Black Dragon Sect is definitely not a good sect."

"You know, the Scarlet Witch gave us such a difficult task, why didn't she come herself? I feel like she has a better chance of getting the dragon egg if she comes with us."

"You don't understand. Strong people have their own things to do. Besides, as your apprentice, giving you some high-stakes tasks is better for your training."

Jiang Chuan sighed and then went back to his stealth state.

The Black Dragon Clan members, who had just entered the cave, had been searching for Jiang Chuan and the others, but they still had no clue. They had not found the True Dragon Egg or the enemy, and the elders were getting anxious.

"Are you sure they went into this cave and didn't run away with the dragon eggs?"

The captain hurriedly explained.

"No, I clearly saw them come to this place. Moreover, the sect leader told me that if the dragon egg was stolen, a real dragon would definitely chase after it. Although neither the real dragon nor the dragon egg has been found yet, they won't be able to find it either."

Upon hearing this, the elder's expression softened slightly.

Ling Juan suddenly stopped. He felt an indescribable sense of terror ahead, and the temperature had risen significantly.

"Stop! I can sense something extraordinary ahead. Could it be a real dragon?!"

The two walked forward quietly. Ahead was a large pit filled with boiling water that kept bubbling.

"Could there be a real dragon underwater?!"

"Let's go down and take a look."

The two of them opened their heat protection suits and immediately went inside. Once inside the water area, they felt that the water was not just a little bit hot; it felt like pure boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius.

Jiang Chuan's body protection was extremely strong; it could withstand boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius more than enough. Ling Juan had only used a simple protective technique, but his power was far greater; he could block all the heat with just a slight opening.

"Look! There's something else underwater."

"Holy crap! Look closely, isn't that a dragon egg?!"

"Really, holy crap, it really is a dragon egg! A dragon egg, a dragon egg! The dragon egg I've been longing for!"

The two rushed forward, only to find the dragon egg right in front of them. The dragon egg was as tall as half a person and weighed a hundred pounds.

"How about we hide the eggs first?"

"Do you have a plan?"

After saying that, Ling Juan revealed his bracelet, and with a press of the bracelet, a book appeared.

Jiang Chuan asked, puzzled.

Why are you holding a book?!

"Can't you focus on why this bracelet has a number in the first place?!"

Jiang Chuan slapped his forehead, taken aback.

"Yes! Why? What kind of magical thing is this?"

"This is called a storage ring. It's something I already had. After I became fully transformed, I discovered that I had this bracelet. Later, I found out that this bracelet can hold things of different sizes as my abilities grow."

After saying that, Ling Juan looked at the dragon egg in front of her, pressed a button, and the dragon egg went into the bracelet. The bracelet was also very intelligent, providing the dragon egg with breathing and preservation, ensuring that it would not be bumped or rotten.

"Let's go! Otherwise they'll catch up."

Jiang Chuan swallowed hard. He also wanted a bracelet that could hold so much stuff, but retreating with the dragon egg was the priority right now, not the time to think about bracelets.

The moment it left the water, it sensed the presence of outsiders.

"who!"

"Hahaha, I caught you red-handed! Hiding underwater, you guys are something else."

Seeing the Black Dragon Sect captain and several men in black on the shore, Jiang Chuan and his group unconsciously activated their strongest forms, especially Ling Juan, who summoned a Malay sword.

The moment the Malay sword appeared, its aura completely changed, giving the impression that the surrounding air was about to be cleaved apart, and its domineering aura soared straight to the sky.

"Boy! I'm going to make you pay for your arrogance! I've invited our most powerful elder."

Ling Juan gave a wicked smile.

"I'm afraid your elders don't know that you saved your life by using your teammates as cover. If the two of you had taken the damage together, you might have had a chance to escape."

Upon hearing this, the Black Dragon Sect captain's ears instantly turned red. His teammates and elders all looked at him with suspicion, and the captain hurriedly stammered.

"You! You're talking nonsense! How could I possibly kill my teammate? It was clearly you, you monster, who kept chasing after my teammate!"

The Black Dragon Sect elders did not suspect anything. Seeing that her plan to sow discord had failed, Ling Juan picked up her Malay sword, bit her finger, and used her blood to nourish the sword.

"A bloody storm!"

Blood Rain and Bloody Wind is an area-of-effect attack from the Malay sword. A rain of blood-red swords falls in unison at an astonishing speed and in dense formation, making it impossible for ordinary people to dodge. It is heading straight for the Black Dragon Sect.

"Hmph! A little trick!"

The Black Dragon Sect elder raised his cane into the air, instantly forming a large shield that blocked all the attacks. However, it was clear that cracks appeared on the shield, and the elder staggered before quickly getting up and regaining his footing.

"Let me treat you to something big again!"

Ling Juan crouched down slightly and then shot straight into the sky, raising her Malay sword. She performed a sword technique that descended from the sky. The air around Ling Juan combined with the sword's edge, and the Malay sword suddenly disappeared. Others didn't know, but Jiang Chuan did. This was a move of man and sword as one, similar to her own man and sword technique, but Ling Juan's man and sword technique was clearly more mature.

The spirit scroll, fused with the Malay sword, instantly increased combat power a hundredfold. The Black Dragon Sect elder shouted that something was wrong and told everyone to stand apart.

The elder also erupted in fury, unleashing his full rage. Instantly, the ground beneath his feet withered and collapsed. This wasn't due to the elder's weight, but rather because his skill, Absorb, directly drained the surrounding spiritual energy, using it as his own power. (End of Chapter)
