Chapter 108: The Dragon Girl's Desiccation
Xuanyuan's defeat, the army was filled with sorrow and grief, fortunately Xuanyuan's prestige was very high, in just a few days, he gathered the defeated troops again, but now only 6 million of the original 10 million troops remained, some were killed in battle, but most had deserted.
The senior minister Gui Rongqu of the Yellow Emperor's court saw this and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. He said to Xuan Yuan, "Emperor Zhuanxu has the gods of wind and rain assisting him; how can we possibly defeat him?"
Guang Chengzi and others heard this and all frowned, isn't this implying that they are not as powerful as Feng Bo and Yu Shi? Their faces suddenly turned ugly.
Xuanyuan waved his hand, letting Gui Rongqu retreat, then looked at Guang Chengzi and others, asking: "Do you have a clever plan to stop the wind and rain?"
Guang Chengzi said, "Blocking the wind and rain is not a difficult task. The main issue is that the opposing great shaman's power is not below ours. If we are entangled by him, then we will be unable to cast spells to protect the army."
Xuanyuan also furrowed his brow upon hearing this.
At this time, a guard came to report that outside there was a heroic young man holding a square heaven painting halberd, claiming to be from the Dragon Clan and wanting to see the Human Emperor.
Xuanyuan listened and was overjoyed, thinking that this person had come to help him. He immediately went out to take a look and saw that the newcomer was wearing silver armor, looking majestic and powerful, with a halberd in his hand shining with a cold light. As soon as he saw it, he knew it was a treasure. Without hesitation, he stepped forward and asked warmly: "May I ask how the brave warrior is called?"
"No need for excessive courtesy, I am a dragon of the Dragon Clan, just call me Ying Long." The young man said with a bow.
Xuanyuan saw Yinglong and was impressed by his politeness. He hastened to invite him into the grand tent.
Guang Chengzi and the others saw Xuan Yuan's body turn into a Yinglong, and they were suddenly surprised. This Yinglong actually also had the initial realm of Daluo Jinxian, it seems that his status in the dragon clan is not low.
At that time, Emperor Jiang helped the Dragon Clan to end the heavenly fate of the Tian Dao, and the Dragon Clan also developed so many yuan hui. The master of the Dragon Clan, Ao Guang, was appointed as the East Sea Dragon King, with the West Sea Dragon King Ao Qin, South Sea Dragon King Ao Run, and North Sea Dragon King Ao Shun all having the strength of the Daluo Golden Immortal peak. In addition, there were several other Daluo Golden Immortals, such as the Yellow River Water God He Bo. Of course, the strongest in the Dragon Clan today is Emperor Jiang's disciple, Ao Jiao, who has already reached the quasi-saint realm.
Huang Long Zhen Ren of the Twelve Immortals saw Ying Long and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, so he hurriedly went forward to ask: "I don't know what relationship you have with Ao Guang of the East Sea."
Ying Long also discovered Huang Long Zhenren, and couldn't help but frown. He was familiar with this person, having seen him many times in his youth within the dragon tribe. However, this person had quietly left the dragon tribe without a word, earning Ying Long's disdain. Nevertheless, he replied calmly: "Uncle Huang Long seems to have forgotten, I am the Grand Crown Prince of the Dragon Palace, and we used to play together in the past."
Huang Long Zhen Ren's face turned awkward upon hearing this. The fact that he had left the Dragon Clan all those years ago was a knot in his heart, which also meant that for countless years, he had only managed to break through from the middle stage of Da Luo Jin Xian to the later stage, although his cultivation was the highest among the twelve immortals. However, this kind of progress was not pleasing to Yuanshi, and therefore, he had never bestowed any magical treasures upon him. His position in the Tianxiao teachings was also very low.
"It turned out to be the eldest son of Donghai, just don't call me uncle again, Huang Long felt guilty in his heart."
Ying Long saw this, but didn't look at him again. Instead, he turned his head to Xuan Yuan and asked somewhat urgently: "I wonder if the Human Emperor knows about Nü Bá? This time I also came to assist under her entrustment, but although I'm familiar with her, she has always refused to see me, which makes me very suspicious."
Hearing the two words "Dao Nu", Xuan Yuan's face turned sorrowful, and he sighed: "That is my poor daughter." As if thinking of a painful memory, his eyes suddenly welled up with tears. "I didn't expect her to still remember me, this emperor father, but I can do nothing for her. Alas! Alas!"
Ying Long was even more perplexed, how could the Human Emperor have such an expression. It was Guang Chengzi and others who knew something, Xuan Yuan's daughter was also ordinary, but accidentally got stained with a drop of Zhu Rong's polluted blood while playing last year. This polluted blood was left behind when Zhu Rong was injured during the war between the witches and the gods. Unexpectedly, being stained by Nüwa, she suddenly had considerable divine powers, her body was filled with the power of fire, wherever she went, drought would follow, and Nüwa couldn't withstand the might of Zhu Rong's polluted blood, her body began to mutate, from a beautiful and elegant girl, she became extremely frightening. From then on, she lived in seclusion in the East Sea, never coming out again.
Guang Chengzi was entrusted by Xuan Yuan back then and had gone to rescue and treat the Female Drought Devil. However, the polluted blood of Zhu Rong on her body was too overbearing, not only did it invade her flesh, but also tainted her soul. If they were to forcibly remove it, her soul would definitely scatter.
The woman became heartless and lived in seclusion by the East Sea, refusing to let anyone disturb her, not even Xuan Yuan.
"Is the little girl all right now?" Xuan Yuan looked at Ying Long and asked anxiously.
"That year, I was punished by my father the king and imprisoned on top of the Eastern Sea. I could only talk to the female dragon, but couldn't see her appearance, which made it hard for me to answer." Yinglong said, seemingly reminiscing, but immediately spoke again: "I don't know if the female dragon is married, I am willing to take her as my wife, and hope that the Emperor will grant his permission."
Xuanyuan looked at Yinglong, feeling quite displeased in his heart. He thought that Yinglong must have never seen a female ghost before, or else he wouldn't make such a request. He couldn't help but sigh and say: "The little girl is not willing."
Ying Long was suddenly anxious, "The Human Emperor doesn't know, although I haven't met the Female Fuxi, but after interacting with her for several years, I have already developed affectionate feelings. I think that the Female Fuxi is like me, how could she not be willing?"
Xuanyuan shook his head and didn't say anything else. Since the female ghost hadn't met him, she naturally didn't want to let him know what she looked like. Xuanyuan, however, had no intention of telling him about the female ghost being tainted by Zhu Rong's polluted blood.
Ying Long wanted to ask again, but suddenly a loud rumbling sound came from outside the camp, as if a large army was rushing towards them. Suddenly, a guard came to report that the Jiuli army was pressing in tightly.
Xuanyuan was greatly shocked and immediately ordered his troops to prepare for battle. He himself wore a golden armor, grasped a long sword, and rushed out with Guang Chengzi and others.
Ying Long also brought out the Fang Tian Hua Halberd and followed them, since he had promised to help Xuan Yuan, he naturally wanted to do his best.
Di Ku was in the midst of his army when he saw Xuan Yuan appear, and couldn't help but smile slightly. This time, he had decided to take matters into his own hands, and if he could capture Xuan Yuan, the war would essentially be over, and his position as Emperor would be secure.
"Hurry not, Human Emperor, we have come from the Heavenly Gate to assist you."
Just as the two armies were facing off, a voice suddenly came and three Taoist priests flew in, two men and one woman. They were Tongtian's favorite disciples, Duobao Daoist, Zhao Gongming, and Yunxiao. All three had achieved great success in their cultivation of the Golden Immortal Peak.
Xuanyuan was overjoyed when he saw them, and immediately went forward to greet them. However, Guangchengzi and the others had a cold expression on their faces when they saw them. Although they had been informed in advance that Duobao and the others would come to assist, they had always looked down on the people of the Jie teaching with disdain after being taught by Yuanshi Tianzun for many years.
Zhao Gongming and the other two saw this, let out a cold snort, and didn't even bother to greet them, standing on the other side of Xuan Yuan.
Di Ku looked from a distance, furrowed his brow, and said, "Both Xuan Jiao and Jie Jiao have arrived. I reckon Lao Zi's door-to-door Xuan is also about to arrive. Is this a competition with my own tribe's disciples?" Di Ku sneered coldly, thinking that the master had already understood the situation with Zhu Bian, and Kong Xuan and others should be arriving soon too.
At this time, Yun Xiao suddenly summoned the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron in his hand and threw it into the empty space between the two armies. Instantly, countless golden lights shot out, forming a golden light wall that blocked the Jiuli army, making it impossible for them to advance.
This primordial golden ladle was the first "toilet" after the creation of heaven. Its appearance this time has caused many people to remember its shape, thus creating a household item called toilet, which is also a merit. Yun Xiao's move this time is not in vain.
Many treasures saw this, and immediately flew out, shouting: "Nine Li rebels, don't you quickly retreat? Xuan Yuan is the Heaven-ordained Emperor, and there are capable people and extraordinary scholars to assist him. If you do not surrender, you will suffer great disaster."
"Hua!" At this time, a five-colored light suddenly appeared, extremely fast, and in an instant it rushed to the front of Duobao.
"Be careful!" Zhao Gongming and Yun Xiao shouted loudly. But it was a bit too late, a magnificent peacock appeared, opened its huge mouth, and swallowed Duobao Daoren in one gulp. The newcomer was Kong Xuan.
"Let my junior brother go quickly!" Zhao Gongming saw that the treasure had been swallowed, and he suddenly became anxious. He summoned 24 Dinghai Divine Pearls in his hand and immediately shot them at the Five-Colored Peacock. Back then, Emperor Jiang took Zhao Gongming to Mount Kunlun, making him the eldest disciple of the Intercepting Sect.
Kong Xuan appeared, the tail screen behind him unfolded, and instantly five-colored divine light appeared. A black light swept across, and in an instant, the twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls were collected.
Zhao Gongming saw it and was suddenly shocked, so fierce, he hurriedly flew back.
Kong Xuan would not let him escape at this time, the five-colored divine light flashed again, and directly brushed Zhao Gongming in. Others saw it, a burst of daze, this Zhao Gongming was after all the peak of Daluo Jinxian, but he was not even an opponent of one move.
"Big Brother!" Yun Xiao also reacted at this time, recalling the Hunyuan Golden Spear and shooting out a golden light towards the Five-Colored Peacock.
The five-coloured peacock suddenly transformed into a human figure, and a coldly arrogant young man appeared. Seeing the golden light approaching, he didn't dodge or evade it. The five-coloured divine light swept across again, and even this golden light was brushed away.
Xuanyuan saw from afar and was suddenly frightened. He hastily asked Guang Chengzi beside him, "Who is this person? So formidable."
Guang Chengzi immediately replied, "This person is the Five-Colored Peacock, the son of the ancient Phoenix, named Kong Xuan. He is currently a disciple of Emperor Jiang's ancestor, Wu Di, and his strength is considerable, having reached the quasi-saint realm for many years." Guang Chengzi spoke with a hint of fear in his eyes, as it was said that this person had even swallowed his own master whole.
Unequal Guang Chengzi thought for a moment, when a bird's cry came, and suddenly another black and white aura appeared, heading towards Xuan Yuan.
"Hurry up and protect the Human Emperor!" The Twelve Sages of the Expounding Teachings were greatly shocked, immediately rushing forward to block the way. However, at this moment, a large Peng bird suddenly appeared in the midst of the black and white energies. The black and white energies transformed into sword energy, instantly sending the twelve people flying back dozens of feet. Those with slightly weaker cultivation, like Yu Luosong, were directly blown away.
"Amitabha!" Maitreya and Medicine Master couldn't help but take action, simultaneously throwing out the human skin bag, golden ladle, and victorious vajra fruit branch to strike the giant Peng bird.
At this time, a golden long spear flew over and knocked the person's bag, gold gong, and victory branch back. Then, with a dragon's roar, Ao Jiao appeared, looking coldly at Maitreya and Yaoshi, both of whom felt their scalps numb.
Ao Jiao was about to take action, but suddenly felt a familiar aura, turned his head and saw Ying Long in front of Xuan Yuan, couldn't help but frown, how did this kid get involved.
Ying Long also discovered Ao Jiao at this time and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but still cupped his hands in greeting, "Nice to meet you, Uncle Jiao."
Xuanyuan looked at Yinglong and then at Aoguang, suddenly feeling a sense of foreboding.
