The concealnt thods they employed were exceedingly clever. Forget ordinary experts of the sa realm; even many cultivators at the Saint Realm would have struggled to detect their presence.
But they could not fool Wang Xiu's Great Luo Supre Divine Sense.
I thought a dramatic series of ambushes might unfold tonight, but the other party was extrely cautious and ultimately chose not to make a move.
"Origin of Zhulong!"
Lying in bed, Wang Xiu muttered to himself. He suddenly rembered sothing and picked up the Dragon Scale from his chest to examine it.
The Dragon Scale was unchanged—iridescent and dazzling. It shimred in the lamplight, radiating a misty aurora that was exceptionally mystical.
Wang Xiu recalled a ti when he was still lying in his coffin. This very Dragon Scale had stirred, transporting him into a mysterious space. That space had been vast and warm. It seed to contain nurous unheard-of Daos of Heaven and Earth, making it incredibly profound.
Yet it seed as if it hadn't fully opened. He had explored it with his Divine Sense for a long ti but couldn't find a way in. Not long after, that state had vanished.
If Wang Xiu wasn't mistaken, this Dragon Scale must have a significant connection with the Origin of Zhulong, as if it were hinting at sothing. But everything was too vague, and the clues were too few to deduce anything.
「The next day.」
As Wang Xiu stepped out the door, he saw two figures waiting outside his courtyard.
They were both tall, well-built n dressed in lavish robes. They exuded an extraordinary air, and their powerful auras clearly marked them as Chosen from the Nine Heavens.
Wang Xiu cupped his fists. "And who might you two be?"
The man opposite returned the gesture with a smile. "Lou Chang of the Lou Family. I've long admired you, Brother Wang!"
Wang Xiu smiled and cupped his fists in return. "So it's Brother Lou Chang. I've heard much about you!"
Surprise flashed through Lou Chang's eyes. "Brother Wang... you've heard of ?"
Ah...
Wang Xiu's mouth twitched slightly, but he quickly recovered, nodding. "Indeed. Brother Yu and I once spoke late into the night about the Chosen of the Nine Heavens. He holds you in extrely high regard, Brother Lou! He said you were a dragon among n, peerless in this generation..."
Lou Chang grew even more delighted, murmuring to himself, "Is that so? Hahaha, Brother Yu is too kind. Right now, I am unworthy of such praise! Of course, give a few more years, and I should be able to live up to it!"
DING!
[Detected soone bragging nearby. Congratulations to the Host for gaining Mana 555!]
Wang Xiu kept a straight face and asked, "May I inquire as to the purpose of your visit, Brother Lou?"
Lou Chang replied, "It's like this. Surely, Brother Wang already knows our purpose for coming to the Cangyuan Realm?"
Wang Xiu said, "I've heard a few things."
Lou Chang nodded, his eyes questioning. "Might I ask if Brother Wang has already agreed to assist the Second Young Master of the Yu Family on his expedition to the Northern Sea?"
Wang Xiu smiled. "Brother Yu did extend an invitation, but I have yet to make my decision!"
Hearing this, Lou Chang seed to breathe a huge sigh of relief and quickly got to the point. "Forgive my bluntness, but the Yu Family, despite its power, seems rather unconcerned with this trial! They only sent their Second Young Master and a single servant. In terms of strength, they are far behind the other families!"
Wang Xiu's interest was piqued. "Oh?"
Lou Chang continued, "To be frank, the Second Young Master of the Yu Family... is not well-known in the Nine Heavens. I had to put in a great deal of effort to find out that he has made no real accomplishnts in his cultivation. Instead, he has garnered a bit of a reputation for wining, dining, and befriending all sorts of eccentrics! If you cooperate with him, Brother Wang, I'm afraid you'll be wasting this opportunity!"
With his expression unchanged, Wang Xiu smiled. "How so?"
Lou Chang lowered his voice. "Brother Wang, you must know that Longhuang Island was the forr palace of the Ancient Dragon Emperor—the residence of a Quasi-Emperor! It is bound to be filled with countless rare treasures, items seldom seen in heaven or on earth. Furthermore, I have it from a reliable source that the divine weapon once wielded by Dragon Emperor Ao Lie—the Golden Dragon Shears—is most likely on that very island! That's a Quasi-Emperor Armant!"
DING!
[Detected soone bragging nearby. Congratulations to the Host for gaining Mana 555!]
Wang Xiu narrowed his eyes, feigning surprise. "Is that so?"
Lou Chang nodded. "Longhuang Island is filled with countless rare treasures, available to those capable enough to take them. If you are willing to join forces with us, Brother Wang, we can split whatever we acquire fifty-fifty!"
DING!
[Detected soone bragging nearby. Congratulations to the Host for gaining Mana 555!]
Wang Xiu remained calm. After a mont's thought, he said, "I'll need to consider this further."
Lou Chang's brow twitched, a hint of anxiety in his expression. "This is an opportunity not to be missed, Brother Wang! You must understand that with the Second Young Master of the Yu Family's strength, he will be of no help to you on Longhuang Island. On the contrary... he will only hold you back!"
Wang Xiu smiled faintly, as unperturbed as ever. "I will give it my serious consideration."
Lou Chang was at a loss for words. He looked like he wanted to say more, but in the end, he simply left with his companion.
Watching Lou Chang's receding figure, Wang Xiu simply smiled and shook his head.
Average strength? He's certainly hidden his capabilities well!
He turned and went back inside his courtyard. Before long, another visitor arrived.
This ti, it was a woman in a green dress. She had an exquisite, curvaceous figure and was admiring the crabapple tree, her bearing gentle and moving.
Wang Xiu asked, "May I ask for the lady's na?"
The woman snapped out of her reverie and offered a graceful smile. "Zhao Qingyu, True Disciple of the Xuan Tian Sect. It's a pleasure to et you, Young Master Wang."
Wang Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly. "So, it is Fairy Qingyu. I've heard much about you."
A strange light flashed in Zhao Qingyu's beautiful eyes, and she asked with a hint of suspicion, "You've heard of , Young Master Wang?"
Wang Xiu chuckled. "When I say I've 'heard much about' others, it is re pleasantry. But when it cos to Fairy Qingyu's na, I have indeed heard of your renown. I have long admired the elegance of your dance on the Phoenix Platform, which was said to outshine the very stars in the sky!"
And this ti, it was the truth. That night, he and Yu Xiaolong had drunk together and talked about many things.
