Xu Sheng chuckled lightly, "Are you all awake??"
Zhou Qingruo and Duanmu Lian both gently hummed in acknowledgment, then they began to take in their surroundings...
A Duanmu Family Elder suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't this the Yi Dragon's lair? Why have we been teleported here!"
Another elder's expression soured as he said, "Damn it! We are in trouble now. We have encountered this Yi Dragon before; its Cultivation Level is generally above the Saint Realm. If we are discovered, with our strength, we absolutely cannot resist!"
The might of the Saint Realm is so great that it could be equivalent to hundreds of Immortal Monarch-level Experts. Such power is beyond any numerical comparison!
Upon hearing their words, Zhou Qingruo narrowed her Beautiful Eyes and murmured, "The lair of a Yi Dragon? I'm afraid not..."
In the depths of her heart, a scenario emerged, confirming that this was not the dwelling of the Yi Dragon!
Duanmu Lian looked at her with a puzzled face and asked, "Qingruo, do you know something?"
After hearing this, Xu Sheng and the other elders also looked at her with confusion. The former did so because he was completely unfamiliar with the Xuanming Domain, and the latter wanted to see if Zhou Qingruo could discern anything...
Zhou Qingruo's Beautiful Eyes briefly intensified as she said, "The resident here is not a Yi Dragon... but a Yang Dragon!"
As her words fell, the chaotic environment around them began to change. All the pitch-black things were being tinted with a scorching red glow that grew increasingly intense...
After merely a few seconds, the entire space was dyed like purgatory, sending a shiver through everyone's hearts...
Suddenly, a massive Spirit Force Fluctuation came from below...
Sensing something was amiss, Xu Sheng's dark eyes suddenly narrowed as he cried out, "Quick, take cover! There's something strange below!"
Upon hearing his words, Duanmu Lian and the others almost instinctively began darting to safety...
As expected, countless scorching pillars of fire erupted wildly, instantly raising the temperature by several tens of degrees!
One could see Duanmu Lian's robe, which had been caught in the blast, suddenly burnt to ashes, revealing her delicately curvaceous skin...
After dodging the danger, Xu Sheng and the others caught this enticing scene in their view...
They couldn't help but inhale sharply, "Hiss..."
With a red face, Duanmu Lian covered her chest and said shyly, "What are you looking at? Turn around quickly!"
Upon hearing her, the two Duanmu Family Elders' faces turned red, and they promptly turned their heads away...
Xu Sheng, however, appeared much more composed as he continued to watch Duanmu Lian with a smile...
Seeing that he was still staring straight at her chest, Duanmu Lian pursed her lips and said, "Xu Sheng! Why... why aren't you turning away?"
Xu Sheng's dark eyes did not betray any indecent expression as he chuckled, "With such a good figure, why hide it?"
Duanmu Lian was momentarily stunned and suddenly found it to make good sense...
But then she came to her senses again, gritted her teeth, and said, "Xu... Xu Sheng, even if you say that, I still... please turn around, okay?"
Her words were filled with a strong plea...
Xu Sheng spread his hands and said, "I understand!"
And with that, he turned his back...
Duanmu Lian quickly started to change into a new robe...
On the other side, Zhou Qingruo observed the scene, her amber Beautiful Eyes nonetheless flashing with displeasure...
Even she didn't understand why she felt this way...
After Duanmu Lian had changed into her robe, disaster struck again. The ground started to crack apart wildly, with a "rumbling" piercing noise...
Hot magma slowly exposed itself, and the once stable terrain instantly fragmented into countless floating boulders...
In such a desperate situation, Xu Sheng and the others quickly steadied themselves, each standing on different boulders...
With a grave expression, one spoke, "Damn it! How powerful must this force be to tear apart the entire ground like this!"
"Everyone, be careful to keep your balance. Don't fall down!"
"Don't let down your guard. This place is definitely not as simple as it seems. It absolutely..."
The words were not yet fully spoken...
"Roar!!!"
A deafening dragon's roar emanated from the magma, echoing around the space...
One could barely see huge ripples in the magma, dozens of meters in size, as the head of a deep red dragon slowly rose from below...
It was clear that its sanguine eyes were filled with a desire for slaughter, looking down on the tiny figures of Xu Sheng and the others below!
The two Duanmu Family Elders, with faces full of astonishment, exclaimed, "It's really not a Yi Dragon! It's the Yang Dragon that Elder Qingruo spoke of!"
"How can it instantly change the environment around us? Not even a Yi Dragon possesses such ability. How strong is it actually???"
He had never seen a Yang Dragon, but the name suggested a perfect match with the dragon before them, most likely leaving no room for doubt!
Duanmu Lian furrowed her brow, "What should we do now? We know nothing about this Yang Dragon, and escaping here is simply unrealistic!"
Zhou Qingruo spoke urgently, "Everyone, don't cry out in alarm. According to the records, the Yang Dragon has a soul no weaker than a human's and can even speak human languages!"
If they acted rashly in their panic, there would be no chance for explanations!
Xu Sheng, his dark eyes fixed on the massive creature before him, narrowed his eyes and thought, "I can't shake the feeling that there's something different about this Yang Dragon!"
It seemed to possess a power he was familiar with!!
As the Yang Dragon's immense body, thousands of meters in size, became visible, it spoke in human language, "Pitiful humans, you dare to intrude into my territory, are you ready to die?"
This vast voice sounded like a deep bell tolling, resonating in everyone's hearts...
One of the Duanmu Family Elders wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said cautiously, "Esteemed ancestor, we meant no offense. It was a mere coincidence that we were teleported here!"
Another Elder quickly explained, "That's right, we'll leave your territory immediately. We hope you can spare us!"
Duanmu Lian took a deep breath and added, "Ancestor, everything we have said is true. Surely someone as generous as you would not hold a grudge over this!"
Zhou Qingruo and Xu Sheng remained silent, staring straight at the Yang Dragon before them, ready to dodge at any moment...
The Yang Dragon's crimson eyes flickered, and its tone mixed with icy coldness, "Hmph! Since you've trespired into my domain, whether you intended to or not, don't even think of living!!!"
In a flash, as its body's power burst forth, the magma below seemed to be pulled by an invisible force...
It began to boil violently, surging towards Xu Sheng and the others...
