Three or four?

That was the question.

Chu Liang couldn’t afford to glance to his right again. For some entities, continuous gaze could also be perceived.

His mind was racing.

In the blink of an eye, from the moment he noticed the strange shadow, he had already made a judgment.

Suddenly, he shouted, “Watch out!”

He raised his hand and shot a green light forward!

Whoosh—

Flying Leaf Quick Blade!

When it came to sudden attacks, this move was Chu Liang’s first choice. His hand and gaze were clearly directed forward, but the green light, after a moment of flickering, landed on the wall behind Monk Pǔ Shàn!

Its trajectory was completely unpredictable.

Not even a ghost could anticipate it.

Sizzle—

A green curved blade was suddenly embedded in the wall where the fourth shadow was, making a crisp sound like tearing silk.

This was the result Chu Liang had just thought of. The shadow had a right side but no left side, indicating that it was not a reflection, but was on the wall!

“Ah—” A furious scream came from the wall, as if in pain, and the shadow disappeared into it again.

At this time, Luo Yao and Monk Pǔ Shàn naturally noticed.

They were not pushovers either.

Although the incident happened suddenly, upon seeing the anomaly, Monk Pǔ Shàn, who was closest, unleashed a powerful attack.

He flipped his palm and pushed out a three-foot-tall white jade palm print, which smashed into the wall, causing the black wall to crack and shatter!

But this strike seemed to have missed, as the shadow had already disappeared.

Unnoticed by them, a strange dragon-headed figure suddenly appeared under Luo Yao’s feet, as if lying flat on the ground.

A dragon-headed human figure, dressed in ancient robes.

It was exactly the same as the dragon servant’s corpse!

As the figure emerged, it suddenly reached out and grabbed Luo Yao’s ankle! It seemed to want to drag her underground!

Snap.

But when it grabbed Luo Yao, it was grabbed back by another hand.

It turned out that Luo Yao had already opened her red paper umbrella.

Among the three people present, only she was skilled in controlling ghosts, and only she could sense the trajectory of this ghost’s actions.

Professional match.

Luo Yao had already predicted its actions, using herself as bait to lure it out, while opening the red umbrella at the same time.

In an instant, the entire space was filled with a solemn and bloodthirsty atmosphere.

“Hehe……” An incredibly cold laugh rang out.

A small ghost child, hunched over, held the wrist of the dragon servant’s ghost with his small palm, a sinister smile on his face.

The dragon servant’s ghost seemed to show fear. It flickered and wanted to disappear again.

But the ghost child stood up and pulled hard!

Bang!

He actually pulled the dragon servant’s ghost out of the ground!

Chu Liang’s eyebrows twitched.

He had seen this little ghost child of Luo Yao’s before and knew it was fierce. But he didn’t expect it to have become even fiercer after not seeing it for a while.

This dragon servant’s ghost had been here for who knows how long, ancient and powerful, but in its hands, it was like a toy!

The ghost child grabbed the dragon servant’s ghost with both hands, as if it was about to tear it apart!

“Don’t kill it yet!” Chu Liang suddenly shouted.

Luo Yao immediately echoed, “Stop!”

The ghost child, who was about to exert force, froze, the smile on its face fading. It seemed unhappy, but obediently looked at Luo Yao, waiting for her command.

The reason Chu Liang stopped it from killing was because he felt that the dragon servant’s ghost didn’t seem to have much malice.

Before he attacked it, it had been following them for a long time without attacking them.

Looking at the dragon servant’s ghost being held by the small ghost child, he asked, “Are you the guardian here?”

The dragon servant’s ghost looked at him, its eyes revealing complex emotions, and finally let out a soft roar: “Roar……”

Dragon chant.

Sometimes a sound can contain vast information, information that only Chu Liang could decipher automatically surfaced in his mind.

“He said……he is a dragon servant under the seat of the Azure Dragon, voluntarily sacrificing his soul here to guard the Azure Dragon’s Dragon Pearl forever. Unless a dragon descendant enters this place, he will never rest.” Chu Liang conveyed the translated information to everyone.

“So it’s the technique of living sacrifice.” Luo Yao immediately said.

This was a bizarre sacrificial ritual passed down from ancient times, often found in tombs.

Like this dragon servant, if he wanted to guard the tomb for the Azure Dragon, he could probably only guard it for a few hundred years. After his lifespan ended, he could no longer continue. But if he sacrificed himself using the technique of living sacrifice, his soul could retain its complete intelligence and guard this place forever.

In the tombs of the ancient times, sometimes there would be tomb guardians passed down, and sometimes there would be the existence of this living sacrifice technique.

Chu Liang asked it again, “Can I go in?”

“Roar roar roar……” The dragon servant’s ghost let out a series of low roars.

Chu Liang immediately sensed new information.

“You have the bloodline of the true dragon, so you can naturally enter. This is where the great Azure Dragon stored his Dragon Pearl. He hopes to give his Dragon Pearl to a new dragon descendant to restore the glory of the dragon clan. After you inherit the Azure Dragon’s Dragon Pearl, remember his last wish……the dragon clan must never approach the God Burial Ground!”

Chu Liang pondered for a moment.The Dragon Pearl is the source of a true dragon’s power. It is also the greatest treasure that a true dragon can leave behind after its demise. They usually choose to leave the Dragon Pearl to their descendants or kin, passing on their power.

It is unknown under what circumstances this Azure Dragon died, even the Dragon Pearl was not sent out in time.

As for its entrustment.

What is the Burial Ground of the Gods? The legendary ruins of the gods?

What kind of magic is there that can make an existence like the Azure Dragon so fearful?

Seeing Chu Liang lost in thought, Monk Pǔ Shàn curiously asked, “What did he say in that long speech?”

Chu Liang replied, “He said it’s possible.”

……

Could it be that in the language of the dragon clan, the more words spoken, the less meaning conveyed?

Monk Pǔ Shàn began to wonder.

Would someone like him be considered taciturn among the dragons?

After Chu Liang brushed him off with a sentence, he let Luo Yao release the Dragon Ghost Servant, and the three of them continued to move forward.

However, as they walked, Chu Liang felt something was wrong again.

There was another disturbance in the White Tower space.

He sank part of his divine consciousness into the White Tower space again, and as soon as he entered, he saw a fluttering golden light!

Golden cocoon shells were scattered all over the ground. It seemed that the Silkworm Baby had completed its metamorphosis. The golden light in the air saw him and immediately flew towards him with great affection.

Chu Liang stretched out his hand, and a golden butterfly immediately landed in his palm.

Its body was covered with mysterious patterns, which were slightly different from ordinary butterflies upon closer inspection. Its body still bore the shadow of the Silkworm Baby, with a soft body glowing with white and gold light, and a few large golden wings.

It had actually metamorphosed into a butterfly!

However, this Golden Butterfly seemed very anxious, constantly circling in Chu Liang’s palm, making Chu Liang feel its emotions.

It wanted to go out.

Chu Liang remembered its previous treasure-hunting trait and wondered if it had sensed the presence of a treasure.

He was reluctant to let the Golden Butterfly out, but it became more and more anxious, jumping and flying around, as if it was going to tear the house down. If it continued to stay in the White Tower space, it might damage the items with its destructive power.

All the items here were Chu Liang’s precious possessions, especially the pair of big-headed dolls that had been practicing cultivation all night, they were absolutely indispensable.

So Chu Liang had to turn his hand and bring it out.

A golden light shot out from Chu Liang’s palm, and Monk Pǔ Shàn asked, “What is that?”

“My spirit pet, it can find treasures and lead us to them,” Chu Liang replied, paused, and added, “Keep up.”

If you can’t keep up, it finding the treasure doesn’t mean you have.

The three of them followed the golden light and rushed for a while. After half a moment, they suddenly entered another open space.

This space was extremely vast, with a pitch-black dome that was endless at first glance. Right in front was a towering and thick coiled dragon pillar.

This was a building style that the dragon clan loved. For the giant dragon form, this coiled dragon pillar was equivalent to their throne.

This should be the main hall where the Azure Dragon resided.

Looking up, they saw the golden light flying towards the top of the coiled dragon pillar without hesitation. Chu Liang also followed closely!

When they flew to the top of the coiled dragon pillar, they saw another stone platform above, waist-high, with a square stone box on it, surrounded by carvings of the Azure Dragon.

Could the Dragon Pearl be hidden inside?

Chu Liang looked around and found that the stone box had no openings and was impossible to open. When he wanted to take the whole stone box away, he found that it was embedded in the coiled dragon pillar below, connected by a huge force, and could not be pulled out at all.

How was one supposed to take it away?

But after the Golden Butterfly flew onto the coiled dragon pillar, it disappeared. Was its target not this stone box?

Chu Liang was wondering when he suddenly heard shouting from the entrance of the hall, and the faint cries of the Dragon Ghost Servant.

The three of them were suddenly alarmed.

“The people from the Demon Sect have chased us in!”

Good morning.
