In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

Looking at the terrifying giant python, Zhang Sheng had no doubt that the poisonous gas inside could kill people.

Gui Yi activated his Wind Dragon Pearl, and a fierce wind howled, quickly expelling the poisonous gas and replacing it with fresh air. Only then did everyone dare to enter the underground palace.

The layout is simple; upon entering through the main gate, there are no insidious traps or mechanisms.

Soon, they entered the innermost entrance of the underground palace.

"…|| Inside the core of the underground palace lies another layer of poisonous gas, produced by the poison-repelling divine wood—the Dragon-Subduing Wood—which is ten times more potent than the poisonous gas outside!"

Hiss...

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's words, Zhang Sheng and the little girl were shocked by the elaborate arrangements made here.

Zhang Xiaoshan opened the heavy stone door, and just as a thick, green poisonous gas was about to burst out, an incomparably powerful aura instantly enveloped an area of ​​three zhang in radius, blocking the invasion of the poisonous gas.

At the same time, the Dragon Pearl was unleashed, and a surge of heaven and earth power enveloped the Dragon-Subduing Divine Tree beside it, turning the originally green poisonous gas into a colorless fragrance.

"Okay, come in!"

As the green poisonous gas vanished in an instant, although no one knew the mystery behind it, they knew that this strange change must be related to the Dragon-Subduing Divine Tree.

"This is the land of the dragon vein, which will bless future generations."

Zhong'er is going overseas this time and won't be back for at least five years. This trip is mainly to help you find your way.

In addition, the feng shui of the Tiger God Shrine suppressing the underground palace has a significant effect on the Zhang family's fortune, even if these things sound unrealistic.

But it's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't!

"Yes, Dad!"

The crowd bowed three times and presented the offerings of fruit to the front.

Subsequently, Zhang Xiaoshan placed the White Tiger statue next to the ancestral grave, and together with Zhang Sheng, they built a Tiger God Shrine next to it using rubble.

From now on, this white tiger will be the guardian beast of the Zhang family.

"Father, is that all?"

"Well, the concept of feng shui is nothing but a vague and unfounded myth."

But things that have existed for thousands of years are not just empty talk.

Remember, you don't have to believe in Feng Shui, but don't offend genuine masters either. Don't believe it completely, but don't completely disregard it either!

Faced with Zhang Xiaoshan's repeated instructions, Zhang Sheng quickly assured him.

"Alright, come with me!"

Zhang Xiaoshan led everyone to the Dragon-Subduing Divine Tree.

Gazing at the tree with its bark patterns resembling a thousand dragons paying homage to a sacred tree, one is filled with awe.

"Sheng'er, where are you looking?"

Zhang Xiaoshan pointed, and in the shade of the sacred tree, a fruit shimmering with red light shone brightly.

"This is ambergris fruit, the essence of the dragon blood vine."

Years ago, my father used his merits to strengthen the Dragon-Subduing Wood, and the ancient tree revived, giving rise to a second Dragon Blood Vine with its abundant spiritual energy.

Now, with the Dragon Blood Vine nurtured by the Dragon Vein and nourished by the Fusang Divine Tree, the Dragon Saliva Fruit only bears fruit once every sixty years and can increase one's merit by a hundred years.

Although this one is less than sixty years old, it was formed by the stimulation of spiritual energy.

After you take it, you should seclude yourself in this valley for cultivation. Leave only after you have successfully completed your practice.

"Yes, Daddy's awesome!"

Upon seeing the ambergris fruit, Zhang Sheng was overjoyed; he hadn't expected such a fortuitous opportunity.

Zhang Xiaoshan told him all this so that he could come back sixty years later to reap the new fruits, thus ensuring the continuous generation of top experts for the Zhang family.

Chapter 723 Ancient City Gathers, Poison Dragon Emerges

Loulan Ancient City!

This place was originally the territory of the Happy King. Later, the Happy King absorbed the power of the Dragon Ball and transformed into a fire demon, which was then absorbed into the Dragon Ball by Zhang Xiaoshan.

The ancient city was once again covered by yellow sand, with broken walls and ruins occasionally peeking out, becoming a tourist attraction in the Western Regions.

Zhang Xiaoshan and the Empire agreed to meet here seven days later.

Therefore, the ancient city of Loulan, which was originally sparsely populated, has become deserted again during this period.

After the Empire found the Dragon Ball, it came to the ancient city of Loulan to wait for Zhang Xiaoshan's arrival, which gave many Western Region forces the opportunity to prepare to besiege the place.

However, the Empire's 30,000 armored soldiers, along with the quicksand and Gongshu Chou's mechanical beasts, made the martial arts practitioners of the Western Regions extremely wary.

"Three days have passed. Who exactly is the empire waiting for?"

At the ancient city ruins, the imperial soldiers stationed there, along with the Quicksand assassins and the experts from the Western Regions, were not without clues. They naturally knew that the empire must be waiting for some terrifying expert.

Otherwise, the Empire wouldn't have stayed here for three days after obtaining the Dragon Balls.

As for them, the sooner the better.

However, the Quicksand Assassins are no pushovers. Wei Zhuang is a top-tier swordsman at the pinnacle of his skill, no less than Gai Nie.

In the past three days, at least fifteen, if not twenty, Western Region masters have died at the hands of Gai Nie.

They were all top-tier masters, dominating a region among the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions.

Therefore, most of the Western Region experts who gathered here were observing the Empire's next move, hoping to find a weakness in the Empire.

Neighing...

Suddenly, all around the ancient city, whether they were imperial warhorses or mules and camels, began to neigh wildly.

No matter how much the people tried to calm them down, the horses seemed to have encountered some great terror, frantically trying to break free of their restraints and run away.

"what happened?"

Wei Zhuang, Gongshu Chou, and those other overlords of the Western Regions were all puzzled as to why their horses had suddenly become agitated.

Is a black sandstorm coming?

But the sky was cloudless, and there was no sign of a sandstorm.

"It's a snake!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Chi Lian approaching gracefully, her beautiful eyes filled with unusual seriousness as she spoke:

"And it's a terrifying giant snake heading this way!"

"A giant snake?"

What kind of snake could cause so many warhorses to riot?

"Sir, have you perhaps forgotten that today is the seventh day?"

Chi Lian had already guessed what was going on, after all, there were very few giant snakes in the world that could be so intimidating.

Moreover, there's the powerful snake connected to the Zhang family—

"Poison Dragon!"

Wei Zhuang's eyes flashed with divine light, and he couldn't help but think of the legendary giant serpent.

"The Zhang family was once known throughout the land as the Poison Dragon? Wasn't that in Ghost Street?"

"Master Gongshu is not a member of the martial arts world, and he is unaware that the Poison Dragon has long since disappeared from Ghost Street."

Sixteen years ago, the Poison Dragon accompanied the young master to Kunlun Mountain to explore the legendary tomb of the Queen Mother of the West. It was there that the young master left the Poison Dragon behind in Kunlun Mountain.

Information about Quicksand is no secret.

At the same time, Chi Lian looked towards the direction of the Serpent King on her body and said solemnly:

"It is said that the Poison Dragon is the most poisonous creature in Ping Mountain, with a body length of five zhang. Later, after being fed by the young master in Ghost Street, its body length reached ten zhang."

Not only is it enormous, but it is also impervious to blades and spears, and can spew a terrifying and domineering bone-corroding venom. The mere smell of its poisonous gas is enough to kill anyone within a short time.

Hiss...

Upon hearing this, all the imperial generals gasped.

I never imagined the Zhang family had such a terrifying monster.

But considering that when the Poison Dragon was born, it only had to stand on Ghost Street to make 30,000 Imperial Guards of the Song Dynasty retreat, it is clear how terrifying the Poison Dragon was.

"monster!

"The monster is coming! The monster is coming..."

Suddenly, everyone was thrown into chaos, and Wei Zhuang could also sense a terrifying aura approaching.

Immediately, Wei Zhuang led the group toward the direction of the horrified sounds.

Amidst the endless yellow sand, a dark shadow, resembling a tall building, slowly appeared and came into view.

Hiss...

Previously, they were only shocked by the rumors.

But now, they all looked at that terrifying and ferocious snake shadow in disbelief.

Its front body alone was at least five zhang long, and its tail must have been at least ten zhang long.

This terrifying behemoth is the Zhang family's Poison Dragon?

No wonder those who saw it cried out in terror, "The monster is here!" It was an existence that was completely invincible.

"This is the Poison Dragon?"

Let alone Gongsun Chou, even Wei Zhuang and Chi Lian, looking at the terrifying giant snake before them, could not believe that Zhang Xiaoshan had actually raised such a terrifying monster.

Even with hormones and nuclear radiation, it's unlikely that such a terrifying giant python could be spawned.

This is the modification of Dragon Ball.

In addition, there are abundant fish resources in the underground rivers.

Even the experts of the Zhang family probably wouldn't believe it if you said that this giant python had never eaten a person.

Above the giant python's head, a tall, slender figure looked down upon all living beings.

Previously, the empire's soldiers didn't think Zhang Xiaoshan was anything special; at most, they felt the legends about him were somewhat mysterious.

But now, seeing Zhang Xiaoshan arrive riding a snake, I understand that those legends are not unfounded.

Someone who can even control such a terrifying serpent could easily stand shoulder to shoulder with the Dragon Emperor in the empire; he has the qualifications.

With just this terrifying giant python, what force would dare to resist?

"Okay, stop!"

Zhang Xiaoshan stopped a hundred feet away, and in a single leap, he gracefully arrived.

Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan's figure, Wei Zhuang became even more wary.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoshan came with such a large entourage; it seems he intends to establish his authority.

After all, the Mirage was about to set sail, and with internal conflicts within the empire, the Zhang family's display of strength served as a warning that the Zhang family was not to be trifled with.

At least this behemoth before them was far more awe-inspiring than any grandmaster.

Even Wei Zhuang felt that he had no chance of winning against the beast, and that he would have difficulty even breaking through the snakeskin.

"It is said that when the young master brought this poisonous dragon out of Ping Mountain, it was only five zhang long. I never expected that it would grow to be so huge in twenty years."

Unrestrained by others, Wei Zhuang looked at the Poison Dragon with amazement, his eyes gleaming.

After all, a ten-zhang-long poisonous dragon is usually an old monster that is at least several hundred years old.

After Zhang Xiaoshan fed the poisonous dragon in Ghost Street, the dragon was reborn and grew to be ten zhang in size, and now it is nearly twenty zhang in size.

Such a terrifying size is truly astonishing.

"Just a bit of luck."

With the power of the Dragon Balls transforming its snake body, coupled with the Zhang family's constant supply of meat, this venomous dragon only ate its fill every three days while on Ghost Street, thus growing exceptionally fast.

Zhang Xiaoshan's explanation was naturally half true and half false, but it made Wei Zhuang understand the unfathomable depth of the Zhang family's resources.

"Sir, please!"
