Chapter 6916 Intentional?
Yu Lan walked ahead, with the other disciples from the Tea Saint Dao Temple lining up on both sides behind her. Soon, the maze-like tea farm reappeared.
“We’re back in the maze?” Xin Yu asked, baffled.
Yu Lan smiled and said, “I’m very curious. Mister Long Chen, when you entered the maze, you were at the life gate. Why did you choose not to go through it and instead take the death gate? Mister Long Chen, were you intentionally checking out the Silver Blood Dragon Emperor sealed at the death gate?”
Zi Nuo and the others were all shocked to hear this.
“Even if you knew, why did you have to say it out loud?” Long Chen asked, feeling embarrassed.
“Haha, so you already knew about that monster, but you still risked our lives to go there! How sinister!” exclaimed Green Old Sixth.
“Well, it wasn’t that dangerous. Everything was under control.” Long Chen quickly explained himself.
Hearing this, Zi Nuo couldn’t help but shake his head with a self-mocking smile.
“Brother Long... you really have big guts...”
Zi Nuo had thought everyone would die, so he used the Wine God’s sword intent. But it was all part of Long Chen’s plan. Plus, he hadn’t told any of them, so they truly believed they were about to die.
Long Chen chuckled, “A good opponent is hard to find. Being able to exchange blows with one is quite valuable, don’t you think?”
In truth, everything was under control. After all, Long Chen still had Huo Linger, Lei Linger, Jing Jing, and Zhi Zhi in his arsenal. There was also a formidable Dark Son puppet.
If they couldn’t beat the silver dragon, he still had a secret ace up his sleeve: the golden lotus seed.
Long Chen was also confident that if they were truly in danger, the Tea Saint Dao Temple would not just stand by and watch.
Even without the help of the Tea Saint Dao Temple, Long Chen was confident that he could protect everyone and escape from the silver dragon. However, while Long Chen felt confident, everyone else was sweating, especially the disciples of the Wine God Palace. Having never experienced the outside world, they had never seen such a terrifying battle and felt mentally drained.
“I see, so Mister Long Chen was prepared and had everything under control. I’m impressed!” praised Yu Lan.
“Sacred Daughter Yu Lan is overpraising me. The truth is, the silver dragon’s power exceeded my expectations. If the Tea Saint Dao Temple had not helped us, it would have been difficult for us to retreat safely,” Long Chen replied.
Green Old Sixth had slain the silver dragon’s law manifestation. Zhi Zhi tried to take its remains, but the silver dragon was clearly unwilling to accept such a loss.
In its fury, the silver dragon was willing to pay any price to stop them. In that case, Green Old Sixth would definitely not help Long Chen for free. Then, they would end up in a miserable state.
That silver dragon was genuinely terrifying. Even when it was sealed, it still had the power to kill them.
Looking at Long Chen, Yu Lan sighed. “The Silver Blood Dragon Emperor is an incredibly terrifying being. During the primal chaos war, many heroes from the nine heavens and ten lands lost their lives to it. Eventually, it came to our Tea Saint Dao Temple. At that time, countless experts sacrificed themselves but couldn't defeat it.
“In the end, we had to use our sacred tree to contain it. However, it was so powerful that it could use its laws to erode our sacred tree. After countless years, our sacred tree has withered away. All that remains is a faint trace of its will, which connects to the laws of the Heavenly Daos to suppress it. But as the laws of the Heavenly Daos change, the sacred tree’s final will grows weaker.
“The Silver Blood Dragon Emperor is beginning to show signs of breaking free. And once it does, the first thing it will do is destroy us in vengeance for sealing it in the first place.”
Long Chen sneered. “If we’re talking about revenge, we still haven’t settled the score for them killing so many of our seniors from the nine heavens!”
After a brief pause, Yu Lan continued, “The Silver Blood Dragon Emperor can use the power of heaven and earth to absorb the laws of the outside world. As it regains its strength, it also uses a mysterious energy to raise those Earth Dragons. These outsider lifeforms all have a strange power. They can breed on their own and quickly build up an army.
“In the past, we sometimes gathered our forces to interfere, killing the Silver Blood Dragon Emperor’s army and slowing its recovery. But for the last few thousand years, it has ignored us, and we don’t dare go too deep into its territory because of its spiritual attacks. But while it’s cautious around us, it isn’t wary of outsiders. Some people tried to sneak into our Tea Saint Dao Temple in the past and accidentally went through the death gate. In the end, they were all killed by the Silver Blood Dragon Emperor.”
After hearing this, they understood why anyone who tried to sneak into the Tea Saint Dao Temple always seemed to disappear without a trace.
Guests would always be guided by the disciples, but anyone who came to cause trouble was just asking for death.
“No wonder those Earth Dragons attacked us in such large numbers. They could tell we weren’t from the Dao Temple,” Xin Yu said.
“That’s right. That’s why you were able to kill so many of them. The Earth Dragons are very important to the Silver Blood Earth Dragon, or it wouldn’t go to such lengths to raise them. Still, we don’t know its purpose for them. Killing so many of them should have delayed its plans by quite a bit. The Tea Saint Dao Temple thanks you for this,” Yu Lan replied.
She turned and bowed to everyone, as did the other disciples of the Tea Saint Dao Temple.
Seeing this, Green Old Sixth spoke up from Long Chen’s shoulder.
“You’re too courteous. In truth, that Silver Blood Dragon Emperor or whatever is nothing in front of Old Sixth. If I want, I can kill it with a wave of my hand. However, the question is whether a certain person will allow it!”
How could Long Chen not understand its intentions? It wanted that stone in exchange for this task.
But since the Silver Blood Dragon Emperor was still sealed and wouldn’t break free anytime soon, Long Chen didn’t want to use this opportunity on it.
Yu Lan and the others were surprised and wanted to ask what it meant, but Long Chen interrupted, “Don’t listen to its bragging. After all, someone who doesn’t even bother to cover their butt can’t be trusted!”
“You little fucker!” Green Old Sixth cursed.
It could regrow its divine feathers, but it would take some time. After all, it didn’t want to use its core energy for this.
Long Chen’s words hit a sore spot, especially since it was his fault the parrot looked buttnaked.
Seeing that a terrifying existence like the green parrot was under Long Chen’s control, Chi Yutong and Xin Yu couldn’t help but laugh.
After a while, they exited the maze and stood before a giant, withered tree. Most of them paused in confusion. How did they end up back here again?
However, Long Chen quickly realized that this was not the same tree. Additionally, there was a man in a white robe at the base of a tree with his back to them. He was looking up at the branches of this huge tree.
“Master Tea Saint, your guests have arrived!” Yan Lu reverently bowed.
Hearing this, the white-robed man slowly turned around. When his eyes met Long Chen’s, the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree in the primal chaos space shuddered intensely.
It suddenly appeared in the sky, its divine light enveloping the whole area.
