Wandering Gods of Day and Night-Chapter 348 - 209: Carrying the Hidden Dragon within Oneself_3

Chapter 348: Chapter 209: Carrying the Hidden Dragon within Oneself_3

After the blood case spread, the townsfolk near the scene were gripped by panic and fear.

Panic and fear combine with resentment, and the confluence of the three energies produces effects far greater than mere addition.

The "Big Dragon" of Mingjiang Prefecture is no ordinary dragon. It is worthy of being called the Ancestor Dragon.

Dragon Qi from the Ancestor Dragon is untouchable, yet somehow, this "Hunger" dares to set its sights on the Ancestor Dragon. frёeωebɳovel.com

Only the horrific cases "Hunger" committed could condense into stakes capable of pinning the Ancestor Dragon’s energy in place.

"Mingjiang Prefecture’s Big Dragon is actually the Ancestor Dragon?" Huang Xi asked from the side.

"Of course, otherwise how could Mingjiang Prefecture achieve its current prosperity? A thriving economy, bustling populace—Mingjiang Prefecture alone boasts five God-level beings in the Heavenly Dome, with one having already fallen."

Yun Ziliang replied.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan began calculating in his mind. Including the Alien Ghost behind the tattoos, there were only four God-level entities overseeing the Tangkou:

The City God "Shui Yong," the Bone Elder God "Heavenly Official," the Witch Goddess "Queen," and the Tattooed Alien Ghost "Peng Hou."

But where did the fifth one come from?

"The Divine Thief Hall is backed by a God-level Alien Ghost—’Ghost hand.’"

"So the Si Family used to be so glorious, huh?"

Zhou Xuan once thought that "Divine Stealer" was just a modest Tangkou, but he never expected a God-level Alien Ghost to be behind it.

"Never underestimate the Si Family. The Divine Stealer Hall earned the title ’Thief of Heavenly Mechanism’ after reaching the nine incense threshold. If they can steal Heavenly Mechanism, then what can’t they steal?"

Yun Ziliang sighed and continued, "But the Si Family is now in decline, much like Mingjiang Prefecture’s Ancestor Dragon. Its weakening began 300 years ago.

Nowadays, it is the weakest Ancestor Dragon in Jing Country."

"By the way, Lao Yun, you said a God-level being in Mingjiang Prefecture fell. Was it the ’Seven-leaf Venerable’?"

"Who else could it be? Among the 24 God-level beings in the Heavenly Dome, Gods and Alien Ghosts occupy most slots, leaving only two places for Great Buddhas. The Seven-leaf Venerable even destroyed one of those slots. Now, only one Great Buddha remains in the Heavenly Dome."

Yun Ziliang poured hot water into the teapot, inhaled the tea’s aroma, then said: "Mingjiang Prefecture used to be known as the land of dragon riders. At its peak, it boasted six God-level beings, taking up a quarter of the slots in the Heavenly Dome.

Although the Ancestor Dragon’s decline is irrefutable, it remains an Ancestor Dragon. Pinning the Dragon takes an unimaginable effort, and absorbing its Dragon Qi will bring catastrophic consequences."

"What specific disasters would occur?" Zhou Xuan asked.

Yun Ziliang unfolded a map, pointed to Mingjiang Dragon Tail, and said: "If all the Dragon Qi from this area were absorbed by ’Hunger,’ everyone living in this territory would gradually die. Calamities and epidemics would rise swiftly; in no time, this land would become a wasteland.

Thankfully, you discovered this early. Currently, three of the five Dragon-locking Caves in Dragon Tail are pinned. If we catch and kill the cultivating ’Hunger’ before the remaining two are locked, the situation won’t be dire.

But the prerequisite is that ’Hunger’ must be eliminated, leaving no chance for him to escape alive."

"Alright, Lao Yun. I’ll head out now."

Zhou Xuan packed up the map.

"You’re going after ’Hunger’? Do you even know where he is?"

"No, but that doesn’t matter—I’ll wait for him at the spot."

Initially, Zhou Xuan planned to use the Huang Family to find ’Hunger,’ alongside tracking down the chapel the Liu God resided in.

Now, finding the chapel is unnecessary. Since ’Hunger’ relies on Mingjiang Prefecture’s Dragon Tail for cultivation, and there are still two Dragon-locking Caves yet to be pinned, he is bound to target them. Waiting at those caves is all that’s needed.

"You’re quick to adapt." Yun Ziliang admired Zhou Xuan’s keen intuition but turned to criticize Zhao Wuya.

"You should learn from Xiao Zhou. Your dragon-seeking skills seem to have dulled with time. At this rate, by the time the East Mountain Fox Lady becomes the East Mountain Grandmother, you’ll still be searching in vain!"

"Come on, Lao Yun. Don’t berate your apprentice into a stupor—I still need him. Ya Zi, come with me later."

Zhou Xuan instructed Zhao Wuya.

"Why involve me when you’re going after ’Hunger’?"

"Isn’t it obvious? To find Hunger, we need to pinpoint the last two Dragon-locking Caves. I can’t do dragon-seeking, so how else would we locate them?"

Although Yun Ziliang had marked the two Dragon-locking Caves on the map with circles, each circle represented a large area. To accurately locate the caves, a Dragon-seeking Celestial Master was necessary.

With one cave to the west and one to the north, the areas were quite far apart. Zhou Xuan hoped to secure both locations quickly and station City God and Bone Elder forces there to await Hunger’s arrival.

Thus, Zhou Xuan needed two Dragon-seeking Celestial Masters to split into two groups: in addition to Yun Ziliang, Zhao Wuya had to join as well.

"Still heading out later? My Big Black Donkey’s mealtime is approaching."

"Let Little Fuzi feed the Big Black Donkey with straw."

After speaking, Zhou Xuan called Li Chengfeng.

The approximate locations of the two Dragon Caves were one at Yue Family Mansion and one on Yangfeng Road.

He instructed Li Chengfeng to come to the store to pick up Yun Ziliang and head to Yue Family Mansion, accompanied by the night watchman.

After ending the call, Zhou Xuan dialed Gu Ling, asking her to rendezvous at Yangfeng Road.

"Young Master, just head to Yangfeng Road. I’ll soon be on night duty, and the Divine Lantern allows me to descend anywhere within Mingjiang Prefecture."

"Alright."

Zhou Xuan hung up and rushed to pull Zhao Wuya onto the vehicle.

"Wait—I haven’t grabbed the Dragon-seeking Compass yet..."

"You’re always so particular..."

...

Zhou Xuan and Zhao Wuya departed. Little Fuzi went to Old Painting Pavilion to feed the Big Black Donkey.
