At that mont, the voice of the music troupe leader ca from below, saying, "Distinguished guests, we are ready."
Ma Xueqing, Gu Yan’er, and the others stopped talking and turned their attention to the stage.
Servants closed the palace doors, and the light inside the palace dimd. Then, a light began to shine from the stage.
Suddenly, an explosion like thunder from the outside, as if soone’s fist had burst the air, creating a thunderous sound.
"It’s that Fan Kongliu monk showing off his golden body again!" everyone frowned in irritation.
Gu Yan’er instructed her servants, "Hang a few Silence Talismans; don’t let that monk disturb our music appreciation."
Several servants hurriedly went into the courtyard of Dawn Palace, raised the Silence Talismans, which soared and silently burned, preventing any outside noise from entering Dawn Palace.
Inside the palace, music and singing began, and the dancers entered the stage gracefully, each making their own appearance.
Another series of loud booms ca from outside, followed by the sound of Fan Kongliu’s finger bones being snapped and his screams of agony, but even if he scread himself hoarse, he could not disturb the people inside enjoying the music.
Above the White Jade Path, Lanyue Palace collapsed thunderously, but the guests inside Dawn Palace remained completely unaware.
Chen Shi and Yu Lingzi arrived outside Dawn Palace, by the ancient well.
Yu Lingzi began to tell him the history of the well, "This well is quite bizarre. I’ve heard that the chains inside originally numbered five, representing the nurical value of the Five Elents. Over ti, due to neglect, one chain broke. The chains inside clanked as if sothing was trying to crawl out. Back then, a Mahayana Realm being from the Western Capital personally ca here to oversee it, to suppress the strange activity in the well, and had this Dawn Palace built to stabilize it. Ever since Dawn Palace was built, there haven’t been any more incidents with the well."
"This is called the Dragon-locking Well."
Chen Shi examined the well and said, "This well definitely isn’t a remnant; the aura is off. Remnants have an even older aura, a sense of obscure and elusive charm. Though this well is also ancient, it lacks that obscure charm. What is suppressed in the well must be the Dragon King from the Western Capital during the True King Era."
Yu Lingzi was taken aback, "How do you know?"
Chen Shi said, "My grandfather told about wells like this before, saying they were used to suppress dragons. He also ntioned that if you co across such wells, underneath them is likely to be a vast dragon palace. These iron chains descend from the mouth of the well, stretching down into the dragon palace below. The five chains go through the Dragon King’s heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, locking the Dragon King’s Five Elent transformations, preventing the Dragon King from escaping."
Yu Lingzi was half convinced, half skeptical, "Really? Is it true?"
"I’m not sure if it’s true or false; my grandfather told it to as a ghost story."
Chen Shi grabbed one of the chains, which was as thick as his arm and cold to the touch.
He tugged hard on the chain, quickly pulling out several ters, yet still, the chain was not fully drawn from the well.
However, as the chain slid and struck the walls of the well, the sound grew louder and louder, and gradually, it was as deafening as a bellowing old bull inside the well!
The roar grew more and more thunderous, like a storm!
Chen Shi continued to pull the chain, and patterns of talisman marks began to light up along it. Suddenly, thick clouds gathered above Qixia Temple, and thunder and lightning cracked!
"Junior Uncle, stop pulling!"
Yu Lingzi was terrified and hastily called out, "Sothing’s not right!"
Chen Shi attempted to pull the whole chain out of the well, but suddenly it sank heavily as if tied to so massive object at the end, making it incredibly difficult to move!
Suddenly, the chain moved on its own and began pulling back into the well, almost dragging him into it!
The force was enormous, utterly uncontestable!
Chen Shi was also fearful, and letting go of the chain, it swiftly rattled back down into the well, and dozens of ters of the chain plunged back into the darkness.
The two exchanged a glance, their hearts pounding.
"There is definitely sothing in the well!" Chen Shi said, a touch of fear in his voice.
They left the well and entered Dawn Palace.
In the courtyard of Dawn Palace were several servants who rushed up to them as they walked in.
Before the servants could speak, Black Pot entered the courtyard, and just like that, the servants acted as if they hadn’t seen them at all, letting the two n and the dog pass by.
Chen Shi asked, "Yu Lingzi, have you learned how to persuade others with reason?"
Yu Lingzi hesitated and then nodded, "Junior Uncle, I’ve grasped so of it."
Chen Shi said, "Put it into practice. Since you understand, you should use it."
Yu Lingzi hesitated again before nodding in comprehension, "This discipline understands."
"Rember, when it’s ti to persuade others with reason, don’t forget principle before force," Chen Shi instructed.
Yu Lingzi sought clarification, "Junior Uncle, what do you an by principle before force?"
As Chen Shi stood outside the main hall of Dawn Palace, he carefully sensed the movents inside, regulated his breathing, and whispered, "There are many masters inside, twelve strong individuals. When we can’t out-reason them, we’ll use weapons."
Yu Lingzi had not fully grasped the concept when Chen Shi had already located everyone inside the hall. With a kick, he sent the two palace doors flying!
Chen Shi burst into the hall!
Inside Dawn Palace, the music troupe played and sang, performing the scene where the True King triumphed over West Bull New Continent, won a complete victory, and the Thirteen Families knelt to the True King, proclaiming him the ruler of West Bull New Continent. At that mont, the music and song surged in unison!
"I’m sure our young master would shed tears if he were to see this."
Gu Yan’er wiped the tear from her eye and said to the others, "Upon seeing this scene, he would understand our deep feelings."
Everyone was nodding when suddenly, the palace doors flew open, spinning like giant cleavers, hurtling towards Li Tianqian!
Li Tianqian’s reflexes were quick, he imdiately activated the Dragon Phoenix Golden Flower Record, his True Qi transford into a dance of dragons and phoenixes, and at the sa ti, he summoned his Primordial Spirit, ready to spread his Primordial Spirit Field!
