The Dao dies but I live on, the spiritual energy dries up but I remain evergreen

With a few plop sounds.

Several people jumped into the sea and dived to the bottom of the sea.

While resisting the turbulent sea water, they also focused their attention on searching for the trace of the dragon ball.

Since they dare not use spiritual energy, they are only slightly stronger than ordinary people.

If he hadn't had the thick hemp rope tied around his waist, he would have been washed away by the sea and been forced to use his spiritual energy.

But even so, searching for it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

With strong faith, they never thought of giving up.

however…

After searching for a few days.

They felt a chill in their hearts, and a huge panic hit their minds.

They did not find the dragon ball.

but……

A dragon was discovered!

A sealed dragon!

On the bottom of a sea.

Nineteen sea-stabilizing pillars stood, with black chains extending from the pillars. Each chain was as thick as a thigh, firmly locking a nearly thousand-meter-long dragon to the bottom of the sea.

What's even scarier is...

The dragon is still alive.

Not only is it alive, it is also struggling madly, and every struggle will cause the sea to roar wildly and strong winds to blow in the sky.

Several black chains have been broken.

No one dared to stay and turned around and ran. After finally getting ashore, they were still in shock.

A woman's legs went weak and she sat down with cold sweat on her forehead.

Dragon...Jiaolong.

Even when spiritual energy is at its peak, it is extremely rare.

It was the first time she saw a living thing, so how could she not be shocked?

"What's going on? Didn't they say that all the dragons were killed?" an old man said with a ferocious look.

"The rumor is wrong!" A middle-aged man said solemnly, "I remember a piece of gossip I heard before."

"It is said that there are nine dragons here. The Dragon Slayer Taoist killed eight of them in a row, but when he fought the ninth one... even if his cultivation was higher than the first one, it was still difficult to kill it!"

"Because the other party is a genius among the dragons, there is a high probability that he will be able to survive the thunder tribulation and transform into a real dragon in the future!"

“Dragon Slayer has no choice but to seal it!”

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he glanced at the people traveling with him and saw that they all had uncertain expressions on their faces.

They came here to look for dragon balls, not dragons.

A woman pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "I may know the origin of that dragon."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at him.

The woman continued, "Have you heard of the Star Ranking?"

"nature."

Fu Ren had a complicated expression, "When the spiritual energy was at its peak, the geniuses were like stars. The Fuyao Holy Land, which supported the whole world, made a list that included all the geniuses in the world."

“Those who make the list will not only gain fame, but also a star in the sky.”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look up at the sky.

At that time, the scene of thousands of stars shining brightly was very shocking.

He once swore a solemn oath that he would obtain a star that belonged to him alone.

The same was true for the people around him.

The woman continued, "It is rumored that there is a dragon in the South China Sea that is also on the list, and ranks high on the list..."

"Evil Jiao Star: Jiao Tyrant."

"In the Star Ranking, he is a great star-level genius!"

"It's a pity that after committing so many evil deeds, he suddenly disappeared without a trace."

Someone exclaimed, "It's actually a big star!"

Those who support the world like to use the weight of stars to describe the importance of geniuses.

There is only one genius of the great star level among billions.

But thinking of this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. The dragon at the bottom of the sea had broken several chains...

"Go back and tell Magistrate Huang!" Fu Ren realized the seriousness of the matter.

……

Huang Tingsheng received a secret letter.

The recent flood issue has kept him extremely busy. On the one hand, the project is huge and money is tight, and the funding he requested from the court has not arrived yet.

On the one hand, the influx of refugees into the city made it a big problem to resettle them.

After finally getting a few minutes' rest, another secret letter appeared on the desk.

He sighed and opened the secret letter.

His brows gradually knitted together.

……

As the famous Red Leaf Blade in the martial arts world, Zuo Qiuye has been enjoying preferential treatment since he came to Longcheng.

When the common people were worried about money and food, she received the salary from the Xia family and only needed to concentrate on practicing martial arts.

Recently, she has made a breakthrough in her Red Leaf Sword Technique.

The sword energy is everywhere.

Can cut from five meters away!

The Xia family also gained a firm foothold in Longcheng.

In the past few days, many wealthy families in the city have held banquets and found various excuses to invite her to their homes.

Zuo Qiuye usually declined, but there were always times when he couldn't refuse.

For example, this morning.

Seeing that the Spring Festival was approaching, the Jia family of Longcheng held a banquet under the pretext of welcoming the coming of spring, and invited local officials, prominent landlords, famous wanderers, and scholars.

The Xia family was also invited.

However, Xia Mei was busy and couldn't go, so she asked Zuo Qiuye to go in her place.

At the banquet, the Jia family invited the chef from Hu Laixiang, and several famous dishes were served on each table.

When they were in high spirits during the meal, some poets drank to express their feelings.

At the end, serve a jar of good wine.

Everyone said they had a great time.

It was just an ordinary banquet.

Unexpectedly, the chef of Hu Laixiang suddenly burst into tears.

Everyone asked.

The chef took this opportunity to complain bitterly.

It is said that Hu Lai Xiang was an old store in Longcheng and used to have a booming business. But a few years ago, a woman pretended to get close to him, deceived his feelings, and took away his family craftsmanship.

As if he was thinking of something sad, the man burst into tears on this cold winter day, with true feelings.

He also said that if that were all, then it would be fine.

The key point is that the wine-making method that had been passed down in the family for more than ten generations was also stolen by the woman.

As he was talking, the man actually wanted to commit suicide.

However, he was stopped by the martial artists present.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, the wanderers become most impulsive.

Someone cursed loudly, saying that there was such a wicked woman. She wanted to smash the other person's shop to vent her anger for the chef.

The chef kept making excuses and refused to say which restaurant it was.

But soon, someone else spoke up and told everyone that it must be the Longlaixiang Restaurant.

This toss.

The banquet gradually evolved into a punitive meeting.

Zuo Qiuye has a high reputation in the martial arts world. In addition to his superb martial arts skills, he also has a unique figure and appearance.

At the beginning of the banquet, Mr. Jia gave her a big red envelope, calling her the chivalrous female hero Zuo, and said that her presence at the banquet brought honor to the Jia family.

At this moment, hearing that the cook had suffered such injustice, she felt it was difficult to stay out of it.

A group of martial artists walked towards the Long Lai Xiang restaurant with great momentum.
