The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

The group rested for the night in Xixia City.

The next morning, Long Yuan personally waited for them outside the guest hall where they were temporarily staying.

Today, Longyuan changed his attire, replacing his luxuriant yellow robe with a flowing black gown.

He smiled and said, "It is a rare privilege for an honored guest to visit my clan, so I should do my best to be a good host."

"Where would our distinguished guests like to go today?"

Back then, a single Nine-Phoenix could dominate the demon realm.

Now, Yun Yici's group consists of Jiu Feng, Zhu Long, and Feng Huang. It is no exaggeration to say that Long Yuan is humble and unassuming.

Zhu Jian said, "Very well, your Jiaolong clan and the Tuolong have been neighbors for a long time, so you must know the other's situation better."

Everyone shared the same thought.

Long Yuan diligently transformed into a golden dragon, several times larger than the black dragon that had carried them yesterday.

He flew over Xixia City, casting a huge shadow over the city, which drew gasps of amazement from the demon cultivators within.

His voice was deep and thunderous: "Please come up, everyone."

"At my speed, I can reach Xishui Bay in about three days."

Unable to refuse their hospitality, Yun Yici and the others saw Wu Wang board the dragon's back, so they followed suit and jumped onto the dragon's back as well.

The golden dragon scales were larger than their palms, with incredibly sharp edges.

Yun Yici couldn't help but make a comparison in her mind. Although Long Yuan's original form was large, Long Jiao's demon form was still larger.

Speaking of Long Jiao, he longed to find his people.

Later, she took him to the demon realm, but they found no dragon clan that matched the dragon demon's form.

On the contrary, the original form of Longyuan today is very similar to Longjiao.

Yun Yici reaffirmed her suspicions about the Endless Sea.

It's possible that Long Jiao was born in the Yellow Spirit Domain and then somehow drifted across the ocean to the Profound Spirit Domain.

The group boarded Longyuan's back, and the dragon soared into the clouds, its speed comparable to that of the Sun and Moon Shuttle.

These past two days, all the people have seen upon arriving is water.

Even Wu Wang was puzzled: "How did you manage to move all this fresh water here?"

Long Yuan confidently replied, "Actually, our clan chose Lord Wuwang's former site precisely because there is a large lake nearby."

Over the past few days, everyone had become much more familiar with each other, so Long Yuan changed his way of addressing them.

Wu Wang: "I don't remember there being a lake before."

Feathered creatures prefer to live in tall trees in the forest.

Moreover, he was hoping to find a phoenix egg, and even the exquisite palace was made of phoenix wood.

The phoenix belongs to the fire element, and he specifically chose the vicinity of large lakes and marshes.

Long Yuan said, "That happened after Lord Jiu Feng left the Demon Realm. I heard that the earth shook and cracked open that year, and later the water gathered into a lake."

“After our clan moved to the vicinity, the number of clan members has increased year by year.”

"Because the ruins of the Demon Palace of the adults were nearby, the clan chief of that time investigated and led everyone to settle there, and took the opportunity to expand the territory."

Apart from the dragon clan, the group had not seen any other freshwater demons in this lake.

It is likely because the Jiaolong clan is powerful that weaker demon clans dare not approach in order to avoid their clan becoming sacrifices.

Therefore, the alligator dragon clan must have some confidence to dare to live next to the dragon clan.

Everyone was lost in thought, and in the blink of an eye, West Bay was right in front of them.

Wu Wang looked down at the lake on the horizon, his head throbbing with pain: "Why are there not a single tree left?"

There are no trees down there, just mudflats.

Below, several alligator dragons covered in silver-white armor and with protruding mouths are sunbathing.

As Longyuan passed through, the shadow of the dragon swept down.

The dragons, blocked from the sun, looked up in fright and rushed into the water with a howling sound, disappearing in an instant.

Long Yuan said helplessly, "Oh dear, it's been so long since we've dealt with each other that I've forgotten. Their clan is quite timid."

This was also one of the reasons why his father refused to let Tuolong enter the city.

He's ugly and cowardly; he's a disgrace to the dragon!

Yun Yici said, "Let's go down and take a look first."

The group descended from the sky, and Long Yuan said, "Please wait a moment, everyone. I will go down and call up the chief of the Tuolong Clan."

The golden dragon submerged into the water, and the crowd waited by the lake.

But after a quarter of an hour, Longyuan still hadn't come up.

The group waited patiently for another fifteen minutes.

The lake remained tranquil, with neither dragons nor crocodiles visible on the surface.

Yun Yici secretly thought things were not good.

"Could there be something strange underwater?"

"Or did Long Yuan underestimate the Alligator Dragon Clan and get tricked?"

Shen Huaichuan said, "Long Yuan is the patriarch of the Jiaolong clan, and his strength should not be underestimated."

“We’re standing right here. Since he went into the water, the lake has been completely silent, which is definitely not normal.”

Long Yuan's martial prowess goes without saying; even if they couldn't reach an agreement, a fight would be inevitable.

The emperor's face darkened: "We did see the demon cultivators of the Crocodile Dragon Clan go into the water just now, they must know what's going on."

He unleashed his full power, his long hair flying wildly without wind, and a calm lake churning with waves.

The raging waves roared, and the emperor's voice echoed from underwater: "I have arrived in your ancestral land today, why do you not come out to greet me at once?"

They had originally thought that the imperial edict would be enough to summon the alligator dragon clan.

But the response to the imperial edict was still a deathly silence.

The emperor was furious at the alligator dragon clan for refusing to listen to reason and instead resorting to punishment.

Just as he was about to go into the water, Yun Yici quickly stopped him: "Don't be impulsive. You shouldn't go into the water rashly if you don't know the underwater conditions."

Xie Qianjue said, "The Sun and Moon Shuttle can indeed dive underwater. Why don't we take it down and see what's going on?"

Yun Yici: "That's all we can do."

The Sun and Moon Shuttle has a concealment barrier, making it convenient to act in secret.

Furthermore, the Sun and Moon Shuttle can travel between the two regions.

If there's something extraordinary underwater, then we can use the Sun and Moon Shuttle to temporarily escape this area.

The group boarded the Sun and Moon Shuttle.

As soon as the Sun and Moon Shuttle plunged into the water, Yun Yici's eyes were immediately filled with a deep blue.

It was an eerie, cold blue, the opposite of the clear lake surface they saw from the shore.

This cool blue is even deeper than the color of the leaves of the ghostly tree.

Yun Yici looked down and saw the unfathomable cold blue turn into a chilling blue-gray.

She said, "No, this isn't normal light."

"Thank you, Senior Brother. Let's go."

Xie Qianjue reacted extremely quickly and was about to activate the Sun and Moon Shuttle.

Wu Wang then realized what was happening and exclaimed in surprise, "No, this is because my seal has been broken. How could this be?"

Zhu Jian asked, "Could it be that the seal was shaken when your other souls were severed?"

"Or, because so much time has passed, spacetime rifts have begun to appear?"

There are two types of seals: dead seals and live seals.

A "dead seal" is a seal that is not intended to be used again; it is completely sealed off.

In order to achieve the goal of sealing it off, it needs to be reinforced from time to time.

A living seal is like the one used by Jiufeng, a seal that she doesn't want to be found by others for the time being, but can activate at any time.

Jiufeng's confidence stems from her own abilities.

But the void is a very mysterious thing.

It's like a perfectly intact wall suddenly having a hole dug in it.

It's normal for things to change over the years.

Before the group could reach a conclusion, the strange light had already silently enveloped the Sun and Moon Shuttle.
