The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

　Amidst the howling wind, Vivian slowly stood up and looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

　There, she will undergo a trial alone.

　After saying goodbye to Miss Perlis, Xingmo and Aurora returned to Xiaose Town and walked on the busy streets.

　On the way to where Qiuniu was, Xingmo kept chewing over Miss Perlis's last few words.

　“Once you know some secrets, there’s no turning back, because that means the complete collapse of the world behind you.”

　"By then, will you still be able to face everything with your most precious qualities?"

　The secret that subverts everything... Is it the secret hidden in the Dragon Gate?

　What secret is that that will cause everything I know to collapse...

　Is the price to be upgraded to an angel really that heavy?

　While thinking, Xingmo and Aurora saw a tavern with heavy military presence at the end of the street. That was where Qiuniu was currently.

　Entering the tavern, the melodious sound of the piano can be heard, floating in every corner of the tavern, and the notes seem to become tangible and surround the ceiling.

　The Danish soldiers in the tavern were singing and dancing, drinking, playing rock-paper-scissors, laughing and chatting, creating an extremely peaceful atmosphere.

　At the piano in the tavern, Xingmo saw Qiuniu playing with all his heart.

　He had a faint smile on his face, devoid of the usual majesty of a Jiedushi. There was a wine glass next to the piano, and from time to time a soldier would come over to toast him, and he would pick up the glass and clink it with his hands.

　Hmm... I actually saw Qiuniu's friendly side... Xingmo felt a little surprised.

　During the Dragon Boat Incident, facing the wanton slaughter of the Danzhou residents, Qiuniu showed no mercy. At that time, Xingmo believed that he was a pure dragon, and human death was not a big deal to him.

　And now...this impression doesn't seem quite accurate?

　""

　Xingmo and Aurora did not disturb Qiuniu playing the piano. They found a secluded seat, settled down, and waited quietly.

　On the way, soldiers would occasionally recognize Xingmo and come up to him to toast him. Xingmo would ask for a glass of water instead of wine and chat with the soldiers for a while.

　She could feel the passion that overflowed from the bones of the Yanxia people. This nation was like fire. When it was time to sing and dance, they were passionate and cheerful. When it was time to defend their homeland, their hearts were as hard as steel, and they dared to love and hate.

　Xing Mo doesn't dislike this kind of personality.

　""

　After a long time, Qiuniu finished playing, stood up from the piano, and went directly to the table of Xingmo and Aurora.

　He sat down, put down his wine glass, and gave Xingmo a faint smile;

　"You look surprised?"

　"I'm surprised you're so happy to be with the people," Xingmo nodded slightly. "I thought you were a dragon."

　"So what about a dragon? So what about a dragon?"

　Qiuniu chuckled and tapped the table with his index finger, took a sip of wine, and said:

　"How can the love of music shared by all living beings be separated by species? Art has always been a network connecting all intelligent beings. It has nothing to do with individual status. All creatures capable of enjoying this absolute beauty can resonate on the same frequency."

　"Your understanding of art seems to be very broad." Xingmo nodded.

　"The great and the small, the humble and the powerful," Qiuniu said, "art is a bridge of communication with the Supreme. Like the string that commands all things to vibrate, the rhythm of music can mobilize the bodies of intelligent beings, causing them to dance involuntarily to the rhythm. Isn't this also a kind of great unified beauty?"

　"That's true." Xing Mo nodded slightly.

　As the unofficial history records, Qiuniu likes music and does not like killing people.

　He even chose to sing and dance with the soldiers because he shared the same resonance with art. If it were the other nine sons... it would be good enough if they didn't treat the soldiers like ants, right?

　"Thank you for relieving Father God's suffering," Qiuniu said as Xingmo was lost in thought. "He has suffered in the abyss for a long time, and now he has finally found liberation."

　"You are the only one of the Nine Sons who knows His wish, right?" Xing Mo asked, "Then why don't you tell the other Nine Sons His wish?"

　Hearing this, Qiuniu smiled lightly and said:

　"I said before that all beings of different intelligences can resonate with music, whether they are human or dragon..."

　"And the same is true of our desires. A dragon's desires are no less than those of a human, and are even stronger and more turbulent."

　"In fact, all nine sons were born from the Father's deep darkness. Even if my brothers and sisters have never heard the whispers from the abyss, they certainly know something about the Father's pain. Is it because they don't know that they don't end His suffering?"

　"No, it's because of desire."

　Qiuniu stood up, holding the wine, and paced back and forth beside the table.

　"The biggest difference between humans and dragons, apart from the dragons' superior qualities, is greed," Qiuniu murmured. "They know the Father God's pain, yet they still use the Father God's power to create the Black Dragon Society, and control Yan Xia from the shadows of history. Because this is the only way to get them closer and closer to the great ladder."

　"All dragons greedily desire to become the sole crescent moon in the sky," Qiuniu's eyes suddenly shone with a faint golden light. "That is the ultimate return after crossing the Dragon Gate. But before reaching that great door... an unknown power is indispensable."

　"Humans and dragons are actually not that different."

　""

　After listening to the prisoner

　After hearing what Niu said, Xing Mo was silent for a while, then he spoke softly:

　"What about you? Do you also want to be the crescent moon in the sky?"

　The implication is that the purpose of Qiuniu doing all this is also to pass through the Dragon Gate and ascend to heaven?

　Faced with this slightly aggressive question, Qiuniu's mouth curled up slightly and he spread his hands.

　"You know what?" he whispered. "I prefer music to... being a god."

　He stood up, picked up the wine glass, and raised it slightly towards Xingmo:

　"Soon, the Danzhou army will set out from the Far Eastern Coast to pursue the fleets of Yazi and Chiwen. We will defeat them and seize Longmen."

　"Before you arrived, I received a letter from the New White Tower Council of the Citadel and the Star Sea Church. The gist of it is... the Citadel's fleet will be coming to support us, which means our alliance will become even deeper."

　"Of course," Xing Mo nodded, thinking that Senior Sister Alice was really efficient. "Then, shall we also set off with the Danzhou Fleet?"

　"No, you may need to go to Lidu," Qiuniu smiled, "A big shot wants to see you...a big shot from Renyantang."

　"There, she will personally hand you the unsealed intelligence on the Haishangyun."

　Lidu...That seems to be the capital of Yanxia Jiuzhou, and it is also the place where Renyan Hall is located.

　Although Xing Mo has been in Yanxia for such a long time, she has not had much specific contact with the Renyantang organization. She only knows that Renyantang is the official organization of Yanxia, ​​and even the Jiedushi is under the jurisdiction of Renyantang.

　Although it seems that this so-called jurisdiction is just a false name now, the fact that they can sign a contract with the Nine Dragon Kings from a "human" perspective means that it is impossible for them to be composed of mediocre people.

　""

　Suddenly, Xingmo recalled the Poerseth he saw in Vivian's memories.

　When the ancient dragon decided to enter human society for the future of his family... he seemed to have mentioned... that he had reached a friendly cooperation with someone in the Hall of Humanity...

　It seems that no matter what, Renyantang is definitely on the opposite side of the Black Dragon Society.

　It just so happens...it'll still take some time for the Academy's fleet to arrive, so let's go meet them.

　Xing Mo nodded slightly and said to Qiuniu:

　"No problem, we'll set off now. Give me the coordinates."

　"Don't you need a convoy escort?" Qiuniu smiled. "Now, you are the heroes of the Yanxia people."

　"No need. It's a special period and resources are scarce, not to mention time is of the essence." Xing Mo smiled faintly.

　"Then thank you both."

　As Qiuniu spoke, he drew a golden symbol in the air with his hand, and with a gentle push, it flew to Xingmo's front.

　Xingmo grabbed the symbol and a place immediately appeared in his mind.

　"grateful."

　After a brief farewell, Xingmo and Aurora stood up and walked out of Xiaose Town.

　After walking all the way to the town gate, Aurora snapped her fingers, and a small flower broke through the ground, with emerald green cracks appearing above it.

　"It's going to be very chaotic from now on." Aurora said lazily.

　"probably."

　Xing Mo looked at the white outline of the snow-capped mountains on the horizon. In the sky, she vaguely saw a few black dots flying in the wind.

　Is that Xiaolong? It looks like Vivian has already set off.

　Messina...the Citadel...the Empire...the Jiedushi...the Fire Dragon...all the forces are converging towards the Gate of Bones in the Far East. The eyes of the entire world are focused here.

　Moondust...the blue star sealed by the golden full moon...what is his purpose?

　Will he become the Dragon of the Dark Moon? Will he bring eternal night back to this world?

　Xingmo shook her head slightly and sighed softly.

　"Let's go." She said softly.

Chapter 434: Seeking Scales (Part 4) -4k- (Two Updates in One)

　"call!"

　Xiaolong quickly flew across the plains, crossed the crisscrossing rivers, and soon arrived at the Junshan Mountains.

　Looking at the top of Junshan Mountain from here, the white snow sparkles like gold under the sunlight, like scattered diamonds scattered among the white clouds, mysterious and noble.

　Looking at the top of Junshan Mountain, Vivian only felt her heart beating slowly, as if something was about to burst out.

　Junshan...where the Ice Dragon Emperor died...

　After the death of the Ice Dragon's ancestor, the Ice Dragon family fell into decline. From being the ruler of the entire Yanxia, ​​they became an ordinary second- or third-rate force, kept in captivity like some kind of mascot.

　Once upon a time, there was a young man who wanted to change this situation, because the ice dragon was arrogant and looked down at the world from the top of the snow-capped mountains.

　The blood flowed along the family line to Vivian's body, passing through her beating heart and stirring her body like a roaring steam engine.

　""

　On the side, Ruan Lili looked at Vivian cautiously. She could feel the extraordinary essence in the body of this descendant of the ice dragon surging like a continuous river.

　As a member of the Ice Dragon family, Xiaolong has always known the importance of Junshan to the Ice Dragons, and also knows the dangers hidden there.

　Ice flame is a crazy force, a curse from the ancient dragon, uncontrollable and evil. As a creature that can control ice flames, the power of the ice dragon is not only noble, but also terrifying. They used ice flames to establish dynasties one after another, but even

　Thus, even the Ice Dragon Emperor who once unified the Yanxia Continent never truly controlled the ice flames. This kind of evil flame has never been completely controlled, and its danger is far beyond the realm of the extraordinary - it is the curse that the Dark Moon Dragon cast on the world before his death.

　Above the ice and snow line of Junshan, uncontrolled ice flames have been corrupting everything on the mountain since the death of the Ice Dragon Emperor.

　That is the real purgatory.

　""

　"Here we are."

　The Xiaolong slowly descended into a dense forest, and the wind between its wings blew away the fallen leaves on the clearing in the forest, like a storm of butterflies.

　Vivian jumped down lightly, raised her head, and waved to Ruan Lili:

　"You guys go back, I'll go alone from now on."

　Ruan Lili looked at Vivian hesitantly. She considered it for a moment, then whispered a reminder:

　"Ms. Vivian, do you really want to go there alone? It's really..."

　"I'm fine, don't worry," Vivian said, "and...um...thank you..."

　"Thank me...?"

　"Thank you for staying in Yanxia, ​​and thank you for remembering the Ice Dragon family lineage."

　Vivian smiled faintly, her long silver hair floating in the air, making Ruan Lili's eyes a little blurred for a moment.

　"Whether I can come back or not...please remember me, remember the ice dragons."

　"At least, our memories will no longer be taken away by that unknown god."

　After saying that, Vivian turned around and walked towards the dense forest alone.

　Behind her, Ruan Lili stood there blankly, her mouth slightly pouting.

　"You brothers and sisters...are all alike..." she whispered, "As brave as a human, and as crazy as a dragon..."

　In the dense forest, birds are singing, flowers are blooming, and the breeze is gentle.

　It had been a long time since Vivian had walked alone in the dense forest. As far back as she could remember, she often went on adventures with Erlum in the mountains and dense forests of Fallu, chasing rare and exotic animals like a puppy, or jumping off waterfalls.
