Chapter 8: A Dragon in the Pond

"Is it spicy"Xu Changfeng frowned and asked.He has always had a light diet and doesn't even like to eat things that are supposed to be flavorful.Moreover, what's even worse is this kind of spicy stuff..."Your Majesty, what is the matter"

A man in red suddenly appeared, kneeling before the aged figure on the Dragon Throne.

The aged man, clad in a yellow robe, though thin in face, still held an air of majesty. His eyes flickered with a faint golden light.

This person is the current Martial Emperor of the Tianwu Dynasty, Dongfang Su. He has reigned for over fifty years.

During the Spring and Autumn period, the Tianwu Dynasty reached its peak, becoming the leader among the Seven Kingdoms of Nanhua. This was all thanks to Emperor Wuhuang Dongfang Su.

To the southwest, a thousand miles away, there seems to be a dragon's qi soaring into the sky!

The East gazed solemnly, his voice heavy with anticipation, his eyes fixed on the southwest.

"Dragon energy"

The man in red showed a look of astonishment on his face.

Throughout the entire Tianwu Dynasty, the only place where dragon qi exists is this imperial palace.

Besides, it's impossible for a second dragon qi to appear within the entire Tianwu Dynasty.

The East looked grave and solemn.

As the emperor of the Tianwu Dynasty, his cultivation was also the highest in the entire Tianwu Dynasty.

And their Eastern royal family, their ancestors once made a karmic connection with a dragon.

Therefore, the Jiaolong clan was bestowed with the protection of an era.

Now, in the forbidden grounds of the Imperial Palace, a young dragon sleeps.

This is also the reason why there is dragon energy present within the palace.

The dragon qi that Ke Dongfang had just felt was more than ten times thicker than the dragon qi in the palace.

Even someone as powerful as Dongfang Su, with his cultivation level, felt a tremor from the depths of his bloodline under this surge of dragon energy.

Awe!

As Emperor Dongfang Su, it had been many years since he had felt such awe.

"Gu Yue, you go to the southwest on my behalf and investigate why this dragon's energy has suddenly appeared."

Dongfang Su looked at the man in red and spoke.

"Yes sir!"

The man in red received a command from the lone moon and instantly vanished.

Dongfang frowned, his brows tightly knit together, standing in the grand hall.

"For many years, the Tiangwu Dynasty has enjoyed peace. Lately, there have been many strange occurrences. Could it be that a time of great upheaval is truly upon us"

Alone, Gu Yue received his orders and left the capital that very day, heading straight southwest.

Gu Yuexiu's cultivation was profound, he was the personal guard of the Martial Emperor Dongfang Su, and under full speed, he arrived near Floating Cloud Mountain in just three days.

"Huh"

Gu Yue cast a glance at Fuyun Mountain, her face showing suspicion.

"I remember that there was an ancient prohibition on this Fuzhong Mountain, but it seems to have disappeared now"

He immediately suspected that the dragon's qi very likely came from this Mount Fuyun.

"Let's go explore the mountain!"

The lone moon immediately ascended the mountain.

As soon as they reached the halfway point, Gu Yue stopped.

From afar, a young man with a dog could be seen walking down the mountain path.

"A mortal"

The lone moon's gaze swept across the youth, revealing not a trace of cultivation.

This young man with a dog is Ye Qingyun, who just came down from the mountain.

"Hmm Someone else is coming up the mountain."

Ye Qingyun also saw the solitary Yue in red, and couldn't help but show a curious expression.

Recently, Ye Qingyun has been very curious about people who go up the mountain.

Alone Moon took a step forward, and in an instant, she arrived before Ye Qingyun.

Ye Qingyun jumped in fright and retreated repeatedly.

On the other hand, Big Mao by his side seemed very calm. He raised his dog's head and stared at the lone moon.

Gu Yue looked up and down at Ye Qingyun, confirming that the person in front of him had no cultivation.

This is not a place for mortals like you. Leave this mountain at once.

Gu Yue said coldly.

After finishing his words, Gu Yue ignored Ye Qingyun and immediately set off toward the summit.

When Ye Qingyun turned around, the person was gone without a trace.

What are you up to

Ye Qingyun looked puzzled.

He didn't want to pay attention.

But then I thought, my old den is still up on the mountain.

"This person won't go up to steal my vegetables, will they"

Ye Qingyun was suddenly startled.

That was a vegetable he had planted with his own hands, one by one.

I can give it as a gift, but you can't just go up there and steal it!

"No, I have to go and see for myself."

Ye Qingyun immediately rushed up the mountain.

It's a pity he has no cultivation, and can't catch up to the deeply cultivated Gu Yue.

The solitary moon had already reached the peak of the mountain and saw Ye Qingyun's courtyard.

"Could there possibly be people living here"

The lone moon was extremely astonished.

A humble courtyard with many strange and unusual plants growing within it.

"These...these are all earthly treasures"

Gu Yue was astonished.

Just like Li Chenyuan and his two companions who had been here before.

The abundance of treasures in the courtyard frightened Gu Yue, causing her face to completely change.

As a master of the imperial palace, Gu Yue had seen quite a bit.

But even now, this scene still makes Gu Yue's heart race.

The lone moon pressed down on her heart, overwhelmed with shock. Just as she was about to step inside,

But then a hairless rabbit suddenly jumped out.

"What a powerful aura!"

When the lone moon saw this bald rabbit, her face changed, and she immediately showed a look of fear.

This is obviously a rabbit demon.

And the demonic aura was so strong, it even threatened Lone Moon.

"Who are you"

The rabbit emitted a chilling voice, and it was still a woman's.

"I am the Emperor's personal guard. You, a lowly demon beast, dare to be so presumptuous!"

Gumu said in a low voice.

Upon hearing that it was the Emperor Wu's personal guard, ordinary monsters would inevitably retreat three steps.

But this bald rabbit was not afraid at all.

"This is my master's territory, you had better leave quickly."

The hairless rabbit said blandly.

"Your master"

The moon is a surprise again.

He thought this rabbit was the owner of this place.

I didn't expect even a rabbit demon with this level of cultivation to belong to the owner of this place

Who is the owner of this place

Could it be related to the dragon's energy that Your Majesty feels

At this moment, Gumu felt a hint of dragon qi.

Right around here!

He immediately followed the dragon's energy.

We soon arrived at the backyard pond.

“Dragon Qi, it actually originates from this place!”

The lone moon gazed at the small pond in front of her, filled with a hint of suspicion.

How could there be dragon energy in such a small pond

Could it be that the remains of a deceased true dragon are lost within this place

Just as Gu Yue was wondering, the water in the pond suddenly churned and rushed.

A vortex surges straight into the sky.

Gu Yue was greatly surprised, and a powerful aura surged around her body as she prepared for the unexpected.

In the water flow, a large and long figure appeared and disappeared from time to time.

"Dragon"

The lone moon was startled.

This presence within the flowing water is definitely a dragon.

And it's far more powerful than a dragon!

This is a real dragon!

The water flows fast and goes fast.

When the pond had recovered its stillness, the lone moon was still reeling from the shock.

...until footsteps sounded behind him.

"Hey, what's wrong with you"

"Why did you come to someone else's house without a word"

Ye Qingyun's voice rose in displeasure.

Gumu suddenly turned back.

"Are you the master of this place"

Ye Qingyun curled her lips and walked to the edge of the pond.

"Otherwise"

He glanced at the pond, then back at the solitary moon.

"Aren't you going to steal my fish"

Stealing fish

The lonely moon speaks no words.

I stole your grandma's leg.

This ordinary person before me is truly unreasonable.

"This person has no cultivation, it's impossible they are the master of this place."

Gu Yue looked at Ye Qingyun with cold eyes.

"You insignificant little ant, get out of my way."

He was just about to make a move and push Ye Qingyun away.

Suddenly, a head popped out from Ye Qingyu's water surface.

A dragon head!

Iced dragon eyes, gazing at the lone moon.

It seems as long as Gu Yue dares to make any changes, this dragon will attack Gu Yue.

Gumu's hand froze instantly.

He discovered this with immense terror.

This dragon looked at Ye Qingyun with the same gentleness a pet looks at its owner.

"Am I dreaming"

The lonely moon couldn't help but question life itself.ppearance of a master. Such a master must have long since cultivated to reach heaven and earth, able to change his appearance at will."Xiao Shi felt a little embarrassed: "Master, that Ye Qingyun is a...
