621: Chapter 430 621: Chapter 430 Being bound by the opponent was troublesome; not to mention attacking the opponent, there was a possibility of becoming someone else’s captive.
As a Great Power Holder who devoted himself to cultivation, he had never imagined that after emerging from a seclusion of several hundred years, he would be killed by an unknown force, being over a thousand years old.
This was not just a matter of being ridiculed by those old geezers; being bound would be a stain on his life.
The old geezer did not want to end up trying to steal a chicken only to lose his rice.
Jiang Tang, of course, would not let him off easily; he did not want to be constantly pursued.
Binding him would help in his escape.
The ancestor of the North City Immortal Sect had not expected that no matter how he struggled, no matter how he used spells to slash, not only could he not cut through the opponent’s vine whip, but he was also bound by the opponent into golden rings of light in a five-flowers tie.
All of a sudden, he was enclosed in something resembling a prison cell, and as the opponent flew, this moving prison cell flew as well.
He wanted to notify his companions to stop the opponent and rescue him, but his signals could not get out.
Then, he only felt the prison cell come to a standstill; he was in darkness, seemingly cut off from the outside world.
Jiang Tang did not put the ancestor into a space, but instead bundled him up like a rice dumpling and stowed him inside a flying treasure.
In the space of this flying treasure, one could not come into contact with other people inside the treasure, nor let the person know where he had been taken.
As for the vine whip that bound the Great Power Holder, it followed the monkey from the Immortal Realm to the Mortal Realm’s cultivation world, to his secret base where he had subdued and formed a contract with the Vine Tree Elf.
Jiang Tang originally planted that vine whip in the Hell Palace, but later, feeling that the vine whip was so hardy, he found it suitable as a weapon, sturdy enough.
He had tried to cut it with a magical treasure, but the vine whip was so tough that it could not be cut, not even a scratch; that’s when he started to value the usefulness of the vine whip, especially since he had the Wood Spell Spiritual Root.
It was a good use of resources; he did not expect the vine whip to be so powerful.
The elves had not even made a move, and just using these roots, the vine whip had bound a Great Power Holder.
In reality, it was the ancestor who had underestimated his enemy; his main focus was on those rings of light, and in the midst of constant blasts, he failed to realize that the vine whip had not been damaged.
A hero reduced to a bungler, a Great Power Holder so easily bound; even Jiang Tang was too embarrassed to record it, giving a little face to the Great Power Holder by just confining him within the magical treasure.
“Bastard, big bastard, if you have the guts come out and fight one on one, sneaking around and only capable of underhanded tricks, what kind of skill is that?”
Jiang Tang heard the rantings of the North City Immortal Sect ancestor, who in the past had been unapproachable, now inside his magical treasure; he did not go to see the ancestor, letting him suffer a bit without knowing who he had fallen into the hands of.
Jiang Tang did not plan to confine him for long, just wanted some peace during this period; he listened to the ancestor’s shouting as if the ancestor were a barking dog.
Once more, the flying treasure passed over the ocean, and Jiang Tang did not go down to the Dragon Palace.
He had felt that those Great Power Holders had stopped chasing the bugs and were returning to the ocean.
Jiang Tang did not allow the flying treasure to linger in the ocean, only sweetly urging Eryao, Green Ox, and the Artifact Spirit to continue fighting fiercely in the Dragon Palace and with the ghost.
Eryao entered the Dragon Palace, returning to his true form, a pale golden Divine Dragon, appearing in the Dragon Palace.
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals were stunned; wasn’t this the appearance of the Dragon King?
Since they had become ghosts, they had never seen the Dragon King, so without fighting, they all knelt down.
Green Ox noticed this situation and also stopped fighting to watch Eryao show off.
The appearance of Eryao incited the Dragon King and his children inside the Dragon Palace to scream in fury, shocked that their subordinates were showing such respect to the opponent.
“Hey, fake dragon pretending to be the Dragon King, are you tired of living, daring to impersonate me, the King?
I’ll let you die, die, die!”
The Dragon King’s voice echoed throughout the Dragon Palace; the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, who lived and died at his command, heard the order and, regardless of whether this was the real Dragon King, they began to mindlessly kill once more.
Eryao had initially wanted to show off his might, but he did not expect the other to be a Ghost Dragon.
Although he was a fake Divine Dragon, he had, after all, learned the Divine Dragon Spell.
Upon Eryao casting the Divine Dragon Spell, shrimp soldiers and crab generals fell in droves.
Eryao’s power stunned the Dragon King inside the Dragon Palace, who hadn’t expected the opponent to truly know the Divine Dragon Spell.
It looked fake, but why did he know the Divine Dragon Spell?
The dragon’s spells were a bit immature, but the Divine Dragon Spell he cast was real.
Within the spell, each Little Dragon commanded a mana that the shrimp soldiers and crab generals could not resist.
The Ghost Dragon King could only keep sending out more ghost underlings.
Eryao…
With these never-ending petty tricks, how could these little ghosts be his match?
The creatures sent by the Artifact Spirit, under Eryao’s command, didn’t need to do much before they had already entered the heart of the Dragon Palace.
The Taoist who had seen Eryao was terrified.
He was that enemy’s right-hand man, and he had to find a way to escape, to prevent being captured again.
Huang Chen and his master shared the same opinion; they would no longer be like the master and disciple of the past, with similar ideas.
When the pressure wasn’t too great, they looked for places to hide.
Huang Chen didn’t stay with his master.
Utilizing his own Magical Treasure, which was even faster than his master’s, he had entered a courtyard at the center, a house within the Dragon Palace.
Huang Chen discovered that there was no water here, yet there were rockeries, trees, flowers, and plants, all designed uniquely in the garden.
Jumping into the courtyard, once inside, he found some mermaids with human-like heads walking around.
Huang Chen…
Could it be that he had entered the residence of the Dragon King’s Princess?
He felt that this place was peaceful; the mermaids here weren’t as vicious as the ghosts outside.
Huang Chen’s eyes darted around.
If he could escape by getting in here, he would hide here first.
Thus, Huang Chen used the advantage of his Magical Treasure and didn’t let the treasure enter the residence of the Dragon King’s Princess.
Instead, he hid beside the rockery, where there was a goldfish pond.
He let the treasure sink to the bottom of the water to observe the situation from above and to conceal himself there.
If discovered, he could run away, and it was also the perfect spot to lazily hide out.
“Princess, the fighting outside is intense.
It’s possible that villains may break in!”
A mermaid maid, carrying food, entered to serve the Dragon King’s Princess, who was a carp elf.
Her appearance wasn’t ghostly, and neither were the serving mermaids.
“Ah, I haven’t seen my father since I was born.
He has sealed this place.
We can’t get out, and they can’t get in, right?”
The mermaid Princess seemed eager to go out.
She hadn’t been outside for thousands of years since her birth and knew nothing about the external world.
The mermaids that grew up with her had always stayed here, their thoughts simple and naive.
“Princess, just now I heard a noise by the rockery.
The water in the goldfish pond stirred a bit,” said another maid as she entered and spoke to the Princess.
“Ah, you might have seen it wrong.
The fish over there are fake, gifted by a wealthy man.
Only you few were sent here by my father.
I also wonder how my mother is doing.
I haven’t seen her since I was born!”
The mermaid maid also wanted to see the outside world, but they couldn’t leave from here, and no outsiders had broken in.
They cultivated instinctively, absorbing nutrients from above the sea within this Dragon Palace.
Huang Chen could also hear the language and the voices from inside the Magical Treasure, the clear sound of a woman’s voice, which had to belong to a beautiful woman.
Thinking of the mermaids he had just seen made him wonder, how could such people reproduce?
Could they bear children?
Huang Chen suddenly harbored improper thoughts, feeling that he had become a ghost, yet he had left no descendants.
Hiding here while cultivating, if he could become corporeal, perhaps he could really marry and have children.
As Huang Chen entertained such thoughts, he didn’t care if the children born to a mermaid would be ghostly merfolk or monsters.
The recent hardships had twisted his mind a little.
Huang Chen had already forgotten his family, forgotten his brothers and sisters.
The months of hardship had made him even more selfish, favoring his own survival.
Huang Chen observed from within the Magical Treasure.
Seeing that the mermaids didn’t come over to check, he stayed quietly, his ears always alert to the noises outside, which never seemed to stop.
Huang Chen heard the roars from the Demonic Beasts inside the Magical Treasure fighting against the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, especially the loud roar from the Lion.
With each roar, the entire Dragon Palace seemed to shake.
“Demonic Beasts, not just monkeys…
How come there are so many strange sounds?”
The mermaid Princess and the maids, curious after hearing the unusual sounds, used a spell to create a frequency that allowed them to watch the battles taking place outside.
