Fire Kilin Dragon…

Isn’t this the powerful dragon beast that Nan Lingsha often paints?

Zhu Minglang had thought it was merely a creature depicted by Nan Lingsha, never expecting it to be one of Nan Yuso’s dragons!

With the Fire Kilin Dragon leading the way, Zhu Minglang’s journey became much easier. After all, the huge vortex of Mourning Dragons swirling in the sky had already enveloped them. If they were not able to repel them, all of them would be trapped in Stone Village.

No wonder there had been no attacks by Mourning Dragons on their group along the way.

They were heading towards the nest of the Mourning Dragons—why would they be obstructed?

“Hu Bailing, you protect them. Leave the rest to us,” Zhu Minglang said urgently to the bewildered Hu Bailing.

Hu Bailing’s cultivation base was nowhere near as high as Zhu Minglang’s or Nan Yuso’s. As a Dragon Shepherd who only had a quasi-positional monarch level dragon beast, he was obviously powerless in front of such swarms of Mourning Dragons. Even a group of Shadow Funeral Dragons proved very tough to tackle, as those Mourning Dragons always managed to find each dragon beast’s weak spot and then relentlessly attack.

Hu Bailing’s Giant Elephant Dragon had been injured in the previous sweeping of Runyu City, with wounds on its right hind leg…

These Shadow Funeral Dragons seemed to sniff out the wound on the Giant Elephant Dragon, distinguishing it from the rest of the healthy skin. Several Shadow Funeral Dragons attacked the injured area of the Giant Elephant Dragon at all costs, rapidly worsening the wound and significantly reducing its combat abilities!

Unable to charge into battle, Hu Bailing could only watch the Fire Kilin Dragon, equally surprised by the veiled woman who appeared so delicate and beautiful yet possessed such formidable power!

“Bailing, Niannian is still behind,” Li Xinghua said to the flustered Hu Bailing.

Hu Bailing turned around and realized that Fang Niannian was undoing the water bag on the back of the beast.

“Niannian, hurry up and get on!” Hu Bailing shouted.

Fang Niannian was determined, insisting on having Song Luo help her. After much difficulty, they untied the water bags that were strung together with rope. Only then did Fang Niannian run towards the Giant Elephant Dragon, struggling to tie the water bags to its body.

Hu Bailing hurried down to help, and after they got everything in order, she commanded the Giant Elephant Dragon to catch up with Nan Yuso, who was fighting at the forefront.

“We have a swarm of Mourning Dragons behind us!” Song Luo had never seen so many Mourning Dragons. He was trembling all over.

“Don’t worry, with Little White here, they won’t be able to rush over for a while. Let’s get out of here first,” Fang Niannian said.

“Is it that White Dragon?” Only then did Hu Bailing notice, deep in the path of the fortress, on the long slope leading to the gate plaza, a White Dragon shining with divine light, fighting against hundreds of Mourning Dragons.

The Giant Elephant Dragon struggled to cope with even seven or eight Mourning Dragons, but the White Dragon was slaughtering its way through the swarm. Had it not been for the unceasing convergence of Mourning Dragons, that White Dragon might have been able to annihilate all the Mourning Dragons at the granary and the fortress tower…

Such a formidable White Dragon!

If not for its intervention, they would have been overwhelmed by the tide of Mourning Dragons in an instant!!

“It’s covering our retreat, but it will be in danger itself. Should we cover for it?” Song Luo said.

“Let’s make sure we’re safe first,” Fang Niannian knew well the strength of Bai Qi.

Hu Bailing worried no more.

Those capable of holding back a tide of Mourning Dragons certainly didn’t need their concern.

In fact, their presence here was a burden to the Ice Morning White Dragon, which had to divert attention to take care of them…

Protection is several times harder than slaughter, especially inside a lair of Mourning Dragons.

There were not a few villagers controlled by the Mourning Dragons, and furthermore, they had set up many obstructions near the gate.

Not only that, they occupied the surrounding cliffs and stony outposts, holding bows and arrows and long spears, attempting to stop them.

It was strange, indeed, that although the arrows were so densely packed and those iron spears even more capable of penetrating, able to punch holes into the stone walls, these arrows and spears always seemed to land near the Divine Green Holy Dragon.

The Divine Green Holy Dragon followed closely behind the Fire Kilin Dragon. It hardly needed to dodge; even though it was not a small creature, those arrows and spears always seemed a bit off-target…

“Kuku!!!”

Suddenly, a Mourning Dragon that had slipped through the net lunged from the precipice, attacking Li Xinghua and the village girl from a blind spot in the Divine Green Holy Dragon’s field of view.

This Mourning Dragon, as if it could smell the scent of the weak, saw these two women as the least resistant in its eyes.

Li Xinghua lifted her eyes, gazing at this sly Mourning Dragon. There wasn’t a hint of fear on her delicate face.

“Swoosh!!!”

Just then, a wayward iron spear flew in and happened to pierce the throat of the attacking Mourning Dragon, nailing it to the large stone gate…

The iron spear, tainted with poison, mixed with the blood of the Mourning Dragon, flowed down from the stone gate. Meanwhile, a Shadow Funeral Dragon that had been lying in ambush beneath the gate, drenched in the blood of its compatriot, revealed its form as the poison spread across its skin, causing it to scramble in agony.

The Divine Green Holy Dragon had not noticed the presence of the Shadow Funeral Dragon at first, but seeing it reveal itself, it decisively swatted the exposed Mourning Dragon away with a paw, sending it crashing into the stone rampart.

The rampart fractured with people standing on it—it was the very same villager who had thrown the spear.

He fell to the ground, his body landing precisely on the claws of the Mourning Dragon whose bones had been crushed…

The girl with pale purple eyes had seen everything that happened.

She looked in amazement at the sister, beautiful as a celestial being, and for some reason, the girl felt that all of these coincidental events seemed to be under the control of this beautiful sister before her.

However, the girl also noticed a hint of reluctance in the sister’s eyes.

“Sister, don’t be sad. They were already dead when they were controlled, I can’t see their souls,” the girl said.

“You can see souls?” Li Xinghua asked, somewhat surprised.

“Yes, even when people have just died, their souls will linger for a while. But their souls have long since vanished,” the girl said, her pale purple eyes as if reflecting another world.

“A Yin Spirit Necromancer?” Li Xinghua asked.

“What’s a Yin Spirit Necromancer?” the girl asked, puzzled. She seemed to have never heard the term before.

The people in the village didn’t like to talk to her.

She knew there was a bigger world out there, but she had never left Pear Blossom Gully.

“I told the aunties and uncles that the souls of the people who went out patrolling and came back were gone, and they all scolded me.”

“I was scared they would scold me. Later, more and more people lost their souls, and I didn’t dare to speak out.”

“Sister, I shouldn’t have been so weak. I should have told everyone. Then the village wouldn’t have become like this, right?”

The girl was muttering to herself, self-reproaching, and at times communicating with Li Xinghua.

On her seemingly calm little face, there was a kind of numbness as if she were anaesthetizing herself.

“It’s not your fault,” Li Xinghua said, drawing the girl closer, gently embracing her to provide a soft shoulder for her to lean on.

Leaning against the gentle big sister, feeling her warmth, the girl seemed to remember the cold bodies at the bottom of the well. Suddenly, her tears burst forth like a dam breaking…

She clenched her small mouth tightly, not daring to cry out loud, but the tears wouldn’t stop, covering her face.
