“Dragon! There’s really a dragon!”
A gasp of astonishment instantly ignited the emotions of all the cultivators present.
“It’s a true dragon, a true dragon! I’m going to get rich!”
“Scram! All of you, get lost! I want this dragon’s horns; no one is allowed to snatch them!”
“Dragon blood to strengthen the body, dragon scales for magic robes!”
“All those below the Tribulation Crossing realm, get out of the way. This feast has nothing to do with you! I propose that those above the tribulation realm work together to slay the dragon!”
…
The cultivators in the crowd immediately began to discuss the ownership of the dragon, exchanging words as if the true dragon was already theirs for the taking.
In fact, it was no wonder they were so excited.
It had been tens of thousands of years since anyone in the world had seen a dragon. This rare encounter was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them.
As for slaying the dragon?
Perhaps it was difficult to do such a thing on ordinary days. But judging by the current situation, it was actually quite simple.
All they needed to do was cause a little disruption and interfere with the silver dragon’s tribulation.
The dragon would naturally be struck down by the heavenly tribulation. They could just sit back and reap the benefits.
All these conversations were heard clearly by Ye Yu.
So, he slowly turned around, raising his right hand as a sword finger.
In an instant, countless sword energies surged forth, erupting from behind him. Eight cultivators were instantly shredded by the overwhelming sword energy.
This thunderous action immediately cooled the previously boiling atmosphere to freezing point. Everyone’s expressions changed, and they couldn’t help but take a step back.
Yin Feijing looked at the corpses on the ground and was shocked to discover that all those who had died were the ones who had just shouted the loudest.
That’s right.
Ye Yu’s strikes were precisely targeted.
After all, no matter what, Xie Muling was his second senior sister. Since he was here, he wouldn’t allow anyone to disrespect her.
If they had ideas about the dragon, they had to be prepared to die!
The sword qi in the air suddenly froze. At an incredible speed, it circled above everyone’s heads.
Like a declaration of death, warning all of them.
Ye Yu said lightly, “Now, everyone leave. If anyone dares to lay a hand on the dragon’s body, you will die!”
Upon hearing this, some low-level cultivators in the crowd already began to reconsider their choices.
From the earlier display of sword energy, Ye Yu’s strength was clearly beyond what they could contend with. At the very least, he was a great cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing realm.
Such a battle was something those in Divine Transformation and Integration realms could not interfere with. If they stayed behind, they would definitely meet the same fate as those who had fallen.
Thus, after much thought, nearly half of them left.
The remaining individuals were quite resolute.
One person even slowly approached Ye Yu while floating in the air.
“Fellow Daoist, this is a bit unreasonable, isn’t it?”
“As the saying goes, ‘Those who witness it all share in the spoils.’ With a true dragon appearing, who wouldn’t be envious? Besides, can you really consume it all by yourself? Don’t choke on it!”
Ye Yu’s expression remained calm.
He gently asked, “Is this what everyone here thinks?”
The dozens of cultivators present immediately nodded.
They all believed that Ye Yu was being forced by the situation and was ready to back down.
But Yin Feijing was well aware; Ye Yu had never been an easy person to deal with.
So, she wisely retreated to a safe position, creating some distance from the crowd.
Ye Yu keenly noticed this movement, immediately casting a look of approval at Yin Feijing.
Then, with a wave of his hands, he formed a seal of righteousness in front of him.
In an instant, the originally dim sky was suddenly illuminated by the light of the stars, shining down onto the ground.
Some cultivators, puzzled, looked up slightly, their expressions filled with confusion.
They had never imagined that the stars could shine so brightly.
No, something was wrong!
This true dragon was clearly undergoing its tribulation, and the sky was filled with tribulation clouds. Not even the moon’s light could break through.
How could the stars?
“Crap! Look at the ground!”
A sudden cry of alarm rang out from the crowd.
Only then did everyone lower their heads to look, noticing a massive array imprint appearing beneath their feet.
Then, an inexplicable and terrifying force seemed to emerge around them, binding them all in place. Even the spiritual energy within them could not circulate freely.
In the next moment, the brilliance of the stars grew ever brighter.
Countless meteors rained down from the sky.
Bringing bright light, they fell straight down, as if a meteor shower was occurring.
This was the Starfall technique from the Eternal Star Diagram.
In just a few breaths, dozens of cultivators perished instantly. Once again, tranquility returned to the world.
Seeing this scene, Yin Feijing’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
She could feel that Ye Yu’s strength was now hundreds or even thousands of times greater than it had been during his time in the Lan Kingdom.
Heavens.
It had only been a few months, how could there be such a terrifying progress? What kind of fortuitous encounter had he experienced?
Or perhaps, Ye Yu had been hiding his strength all along…
Yin Feijing couldn’t make sense of it, no matter how she thought.
Then she raised her head to look at Ye Yu ahead.
Their eyes met.
Yin Feijing calmly walked over.
She reached Ye Yu’s side and softly said, “This silver dragon… it’s your senior sister, right?”
Ye Yu didn’t deny it.
“I hope you can keep this a secret. Is that okay?”
Yin Feijing raised the corners of her mouth into a beautiful arc.
“Of course, I’m not particularly interested in true dragons. But I want to clarify one thing.”
“Are you, in fact, a Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox?”
Ye Yu furrowed his brows slightly.
As expected, Yin Feijing really did have memories from the dream.
What was going on?
Although Ye Yu didn’t respond, Yin Feijing already knew the answer. So, she reached out again towards his back.
But this time, not only did she not touch the tail, she was caught by the wrist again.
“Alright, stop fidgeting. To tell you the truth, I am not a Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox. Do you know about parallel worlds?”
Ye Yu had figured it out.
Yin Feijing’s curiosity was boundless. She always wanted to touch things.
It almost seemed like she wouldn’t stop until she touched the tail.
But how could that tail be caught so easily?
Moreover, he really didn’t have one right now!
Since she possessed dream memories, rather than keep her in suspense, it would be better to satisfy her curiosity at once using the concept of parallel worlds.
That way, she would never bring it up again.
Yin Feijing, after hearing the explanation, wore a strange expression.
“So, you mean in the parallel world, you are a Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, but in this world, you are an ordinary mortal?”
“Exactly, that’s the idea!”
“So, I really don’t have a tail. If you dare to make another move, I’ll be sure to chop off your fox claws!”
Ye Yu put on a serious expression, trying to scare Yin Feijing a bit.
Then he turned to the sea, watching as Xie Muling underwent her tribulation.
Yin Feijing placed her hands behind her back, her expression solemn.
Parallel worlds, reality.
It all seemed so hard to understand.
Although she still didn’t fully grasp it, Ye Yu had personally admitted that those events from the dream were indeed real and not fake.
That was enough for her.
Yin Feijing looked up at Ye Yu’s back, a hint of infatuation appearing in her eyes.
Whether he was a Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox or an ordinary human, she liked him all the same.
To avoid the regret of missing out again as in the dream, Yin Feijing gathered all her courage.
She softly said, “Ye Yu, I like you. Would you be willing to become my Dao companion?”
