Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 279 Eastern Qionglian
Tianhai, Crystal Palace, a side hall.

The name of the palace is Qiongguang. It is quite spacious and hidden within numerous palace rooms. Suddenly, a dark golden chariot broke through the sea water, led by several patrolling sea yakshas, and stopped outside in the coral reefs that were emitting colorful light.

Liu Xiaowen stepped out of the car and told Bai Ling to wait here. Then he was led by the Yaksha in front and walked along the waterway towards the Qiongguang Palace. Most dragons would seal themselves off from the sea after building their foundation and would not stay in the Crystal Palace, but this place was an exception.

His eyes fell on the white jade plaque on the hall. The two words "Qiong Guang" shone brightly, indicating the identity of the owner of this place.

The Dragon Girl Qionglian, as the master of the Qiongguang Palace, was sealed in the Tianhai Palace. Although the sea was much narrower than that of other dragon species, it was close to the Crystal Palace and was extremely noble.

Several Yakshas worked together to open the door of the white jade palace and retreated to the side, but their eyes were rolling around. Liu Xiaowen understood what he meant and then threw out a brocade bag. The Yakshas around him immediately smiled and thanked him repeatedly.

As soon as he entered the hall, maids in frost-white gauze came forward, in groups of three or four, and led him into a side room to bathe. Liu Xiao knew the rules and would not resist. This dragon girl was a clean person and could not stand the slightest filth.

He took off his clothes, revealing a skin covered with scars. Several maids came forward to help him wash, but he just waved his hands, indicating that he would do it himself.

The spiritual water used for bathing here is of foundation-building level, which is accumulated in a white jade pool. He slowly stepped into the water, allowing the formation to work and cleanse himself.

Several maids were still standing quietly beside the pool, not saying a word. Liu Xiaowen felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't like being served by others, so he said in a deep voice:

"You guys should leave first, there's no need to wait here."

But the leading maid showed a bit of fear on her face and said softly:

"I dare not leave. If I break the rules, I will be punished."

Liu Xiao sighed and ignored these people. He stepped out of the pool, put on a plain white robe, and walked slowly towards the hall.

The various pearls, jades, and agates seen along the way are all rare and spiritual objects, but now they are piled up randomly like soil and rocks, which is really shocking.

Bright light surged in front, layers of moonlight leaked to the ground, and on the top of the hall hung a round white stone plate. It was obviously a spiritual object of the Taiyin sect, extremely precious, and at this time it was only used as an ornament on the hall.

Many clam girls and shrimp soldiers were serving in the hall. There were two people sitting on the main seat. One was a girl in a white palace skirt with a beautiful face, wooden horns on her head, and green eyes. At this time, she was holding the hand of the scholar in white clothes beside her, covering her face with her hands and smiling.

"Brother Xiao Wen."

Zhang Yu's eyes lit up, he walked down quickly, patted Liu Xiaowen on the shoulder, and a smile appeared on his face.

"You're a very busy man. You rarely come here. Come today and don't stop until you're drunk."

Liu Xiaowen smiled and responded. He then saluted the Qionglian Dragon Girl from a distance and said softly:

"Liu Xiaowen, the Right Emissary of Zhenxuan Prefecture, greets the Dragon Girl Qionglian."

"No need for formalities. Since you are the envoy of Master Xuanlian, you are one family with my Qiongguang Palace."

Dongfang Qionglian stood up and swept her blue eyes over, revealing the aura of a superior without any concealment. At this moment, Zhang Yu looked more like a woman, while Qionglian looked like a great man.

"Right Emissary, please take a seat."

Several shrimp soldiers and crab generals immediately brought a white jade throne covered with the skin of some sea beast. Liu Xiao thanked them and took a seat. At this time, Zhang Yu returned to Qionglian with a smile on his face.

"I wonder where Master Xuanlian has been lately?"

Qionglian asked softly, but her tone contained a certain sense of unquestionability.

"Reporting to Dragon Girl, the Immortal recently went to [Golden Pivot] and heard that the moon's phases are changing, and there's a fear that lunar spiritual objects may appear. He went to search for spiritual objects with the Immortal Pidan of [Hunyuan Palace]."

Liu Xiao responded respectfully upon hearing the voice. Even though Zhang Yu and he had a close relationship, and the scholar was Qionglian's husband, as a human being, he still had to lower his head when speaking to a dragon.

This is the lesson of blood.

Even though Qionglian was relatively easy to talk to, that was only with respect to the other dragons. Over the years, Liu Xiaowen had seen many absurd things in the East China Sea, most of which were caused by the dragons' whims.

"According to my uncle, the changes in the moon's phases are probably caused by someone from the Moon Palace descending to earth and heading for the Moon. A few days ago, my husband found a piece of Moon Rock hanging from the roof of the temple by the sea of Heaven."

Zhang Yu, who was standing aside, showed a bit of pride on his face and said with a smile:

"I went to the edge of the sea, and suddenly I saw the moonlight of the moon piercing the sky. Then something fell from the sky, and I found this Moon Rock."

"You're in luck."

Liu Xiaowen smiled slightly. If we talk about luck and fate, there are probably few people in the world who can compare with Zhang Yu. First, he was betrothed to the Dragon Girl, and later he was recognized by the Donghan Dragon Palace and became the master of the Qiongguang Palace. Qionglian's eyes turned, first passing by Zhang Yu beside her with a bit of tenderness, and then looking at Liu Xiaowen, but her eyes were much more complicated, and she said:
"Did Master Xuanlian tell you that before he left?"

Liu Xiaowen's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice:

"The Immortal once said that all the Right Emissaries in my palace will be transferred to serve under the Dragon King and be on standby. I just don't know which master that is."

"I called you here today for this very purpose." Qionglian's emerald eyes brightened slightly, and she smiled softly, "I want to send you to the place where my uncle, the Guanji Dragon King, reigns."

"I've heard that you'll be transferred tomorrow. Don't worry, my uncle is easy to talk to. He has many friends among the immortals and has no prejudice against humans."

Liu Xiaowen responded softly, but his heart sank a little bit. It seemed that it was this Dragon King who ordered him and Zhang Yu to be thrown into the water dungeon. It was likely that this Dragon King was the one who was in charge of everything that happened to Zhang Yu.

He was not a fool, so he naturally understood the problem of the couple above. Dongfang Qionglian was not a naive girl. On the contrary, she was very clever. Even though her parents had passed away, she was still loved by the Dragon Kings.

It really doesn't make sense for a dragon girl like this to run ashore for no reason and fall in love with a casual cultivator. This is not a story-telling novel.

"Dong Hai, he must be planning something."

Even though Liu Xiaowen had a lot of doubts in his heart, he couldn't say a word at this moment. If they really wanted to fall out, it would not be a good thing for him or Zhang Yu.

Looking at the loving expressions of the man and woman sitting there, he couldn't help but wonder, are these two people truly in love, or is it just the result of supernatural powers?
"Right Envoy Liu is from Dali. I heard he comes from an immortal sect?"

"I don't deserve it. I come from the Dachi Temple in Li Country. It's only a foundation-building sect, not worthy of the title of an immortal sect."

"Da Chi Guan?"

Dongfang Qionglian slowly recited the name, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said softly:

"That's the sect of the Sword Immortal Pijie. I've also read several intelligence reports from the sea, listing the current Sword Immortals, such as Tianshu, Yuhua, Pijie, and so on."

"And the Hunming Sword Immortal of my dragon seed, unfortunately, he was born in Mingze."

Liu Xiao said nothing, his face showed a bit of determination, his eyes darkened, and he said:

"May I ask, Dragon Girl, when can I leave?"

Zhang Yu, who was standing by, turned pale when he heard this, and slammed the wine cup in his hand onto the table with a crisp sound.

"Xiao Wen, be careful with your words."

Dongfang Qionglian waved her hand, telling Zhang Yu not to panic, and smiled meaningfully, saying softly:
"When you have finished helping my uncle, you can go wherever you want."

She slowly turned her head, her green eyes looked at Zhang Yu, a little dark, and said:

"What about you? Zhang Yu, do you also want to leave this Qiongguang Palace?"

Zhang Yu took Qionglian's hand, his expression sincere, holding it tightly, and said in a deep voice:
"As long as you are here, I want to die with you. I never want to be separated."

It was unknown what taboo these words touched upon Qionglian, and her expression suddenly became extremely gloomy. A deep dragon aura emanated from her, shocking the servants below so much that they all knelt down.

Liu Xiaowen frowned slightly and looked at the couple sitting on the main seat.

Qionglian was holding Zhang Yu's face, her eyes as bright as pearls, and she spoke word by word:

"I will never leave you, and I will never abandon you, until death. This is what you said, don't forget it."

"I will never forget, I will never dare to forget."

Zhang Yu hugged Qionglian, and the dragon girl fell into his arms. At this time, Zhang Yu had his back to the bottom, but Qionglian's pretty face was slightly exposed. A cold light flashed in her green eyes. She stared at Liu Xiaowen and spoke slowly without making any sound.

Liu Xiaowen looked at the other person's lips and clearly understood what he said.

"Don't meddle in other people's affairs, or you will die."

He swirled the remaining wine in the glass and drank it all in one gulp.
