Loyal Heart Roaming the Skies

Book 2: Chapter 27: Horn of the Azure Dragon



This poor ugly child was played around by those who died before, using one after another, and already has a psychological shadow.

In his eyes, Jiang Wang, who laughs last, is undoubtedly the most malicious and scheming one, definitely rotten to the core. He might be planning to use him as a living sacrifice to obtain power from the evil god.

At this moment, upon hearing Jiang Wang's reply, his judgment became even more certain.

Even though he had an iron will, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"If you have the guts, come over and fight me!" Lian Que shouted.

With a slight movement of his mind, death energy instantly surged up and returned below his eyelids.

Jiang Wang just smiled when he heard the voice. "If you dare, I won't kill you."

"But..." He took a moment to look at Lian Que's expression and roughly judged the progress of the death energy. He said, "Every twenty breaths, you have to say a word. Keep the death energy below half of your face. Remember, this is the warning line. Once you exceed it, I will consider it as you wanting to do something to me, wanting to seize my divine opportunity. Then, I will kill you."

Lian Que blinked his eyes. He could tell that Jiang Wang's second half of the sentence was serious, not a joke.

Although Lian Que claimed that he wasn't afraid of death, it was naturally best to not die. So, he obediently resisted the death energy while silently calculating the time.

When twenty breaths passed, he couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it simpler if you just kill me? Why make it so complicated?"

At this moment, Jiang Wang was lying on the ground, tapping on the floor tiles. He speculated if there was a secret chamber or something similar in the Dragon Palace. There was no reason to search the entire Dragon Palace and not find any clues to the divine opportunity.

He casually replied, "Killing someone is simple, but convincing oneself is difficult."

Only by convincing oneself can one have a clear conscience.

He said it naturally, just like the phrase "If you don't want to kill me, why should I kill you?"

Why is it that such a simple truth, such a normal statement, is no longer believed by people in many situations?

It seems that there are always conspiracies and malice hidden between people.

Lian Que was stunned for a moment.

Suddenly, he remembered the words his grandfather said to him a long time ago when he was still alive.

His grandfather said, "In the Transcendent world, killing is a very simple matter. What's difficult is having a clear conscience. Having a clear conscience is actually not difficult. What's difficult is for a Transcendent cultivator to maintain a human heart."

At that time, Lian Que didn't understand, and the older he got, the less he understood.

But now, he seemed to vaguely understand a little.

If Transcendent cultivators view themselves as immortals and view ordinary people as insignificant ants, no matter how many people they kill, they can naturally have a clear conscience.

But that's not difficult, it's really not difficult.

Not to mention Transcendent cultivators who can move mountains and fill seas, even those ordinary people with a little bit of power often regard others of the same kind as pigs, dogs, cows, and horses, right?

What's rare is that childlike heart that treats oneself and others as humans.

Another twenty breaths passed.

Lian Que couldn't help but ask again, "No one knows what you do here, whether you are good or evil, righteous or wicked. Does it have any meaning for you to do this?"

"I do things for myself, not for others to see. If someone kills me, I will kill them. That's simple. But killing someone for no reason, I don't want to. However, I want to remind you that just because I don't want to, doesn't mean I won't do it. This divine opportunity is very important to me, and I have a reason to become stronger. So, you must protect yourself and not give me an excuse to kill you."

Jiang Wang spoke casually, as if it was just a chat. But his meaning was also resolute. He was determined to obtain the divine opportunity in the Inner Palace.

At this time, he had already tapped on more than half of the floor tiles in the entire hall and was feeling a bit tired. But for the divine opportunity, he had to continue with a stiff upper lip.

As long as he could obtain the divine opportunity, it would be worth flipping the entire Dragon Palace inch by inch!

Another twenty breaths passed, and Lian Que said seriously, "I, Lian Que, know what's good for me. Even if I recover, I won't compete with you for the divine opportunity."

"Enough, just lie down and don't move. We're not familiar enough for trust..."

Jiang Wang's words were interrupted halfway when a faint white light appeared in front of him, condensing into a horn of a blue dragon.

He reached out and grabbed it, and naturally had a realization in his heart.

This horn of the blue dragon was the key to obtaining the divine opportunity.

At the same time as he grasped the horn of the blue dragon, a full moon gate appeared in the center of the hall, illusory and ethereal, leading to another place.

Only the person holding the horn of the blue dragon could pass through here.

So, the competition in the Heavenly Dragon Palace was so straightforward and brutal.

As long as all the competitors were killed, or all the competitors withdrew from the competition, the divine opportunity would appear.

And he had diligently and honestly searched for so long, feeling the walls and tapping on the tiles one by one... In fact, if Lian Que had said this sentence of giving up earlier, the matter would have already ended!

With this thought, Jiang Wang couldn't help but glare fiercely at Lian Que.

The person being glared at was bewildered."Do you plan to kill me now to silence me? But there's no need, isn't it true that once we leave the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm, we will forget everything that happened here?"

Lian Que couldn't help but let his thoughts run wild.

After placing the Horn of the Azure Dragon into his bosom, Jiang Wang said, "Alright, you can now focus on dispelling the death energy. There's no need to restrain yourself anymore."

Now that he had the Horn of the Azure Dragon, even if Lian Que decided to renege and try to snatch it back after recovering, Jiang Wang was confident he could keep it safe.

Unexpectedly, Lian Que became furious, "What do you mean? Are you looking down on me? Do you think I pose no threat to you?"

Jiang Wang: ……

If you said this man was stupid, he was able to perceive the unspoken confidence in Jiang Wang's words.

But if you said he was smart, that didn't seem quite right either. Would a smart person talk like this?

At this moment, Jiang Wang could easily kill him with a few Dao techniques, yet he was still concerned about whether Jiang Wang looked down on him or not.

Having obtained the Horn of the Azure Dragon, Jiang Wang was in a good mood and couldn't be bothered to argue. He casually appeased him, "No, no, no, I respect you. I believe you are a man who keeps his promises."

That's more like it.

Lian Que, satisfied, closed his mouth and began to focus on dispelling the death energy.

Jiang Wang didn't pay him any mind and prepared to step into the Moon Gate.

"Wait!" Lian Que suddenly called out.

Jiang Wang impatiently asked, "What now?"

"I almost forgot, once we leave the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm, we won't remember what happened here. But you spared my life, and I owe you for that."

"There's no need. I didn't spare you to gain anything."

"No. If I owe a debt and don't repay it, I, Lian Que, won't be able to live comfortably!"

Lian Que pondered for a moment, then spat out a square, ink-colored metal plate.

With a 'ding', it fell onto the floor tiles.

He continued, "After we leave, take this plate and find me. I will personally forge a sword for you. Even if you don't remember, I can sense it."

"I've already felt your sincerity, and that's enough recognition for what I've done. There's really no need to discuss anything else." Jiang Wang lifted the magical sword in his hand, "Besides, I already have a sword."

"What kind of junk is that? You call that a sword?" Lian Que suddenly roared.

Jiang Wang was taken aback by his outburst, not knowing what had gotten into him.

He reluctantly tore a piece of cloth from Ji Xiu's corpse on the ground and wrapped the metal plate in it.

"Alright, alright. I got it."

Lian Que started to roar again, "Even though I spat it out, there's no saliva on it!"

His roaring was so intense that the death energy was about to rush to his forehead.

To prevent him from dying suddenly, Jiang Wang had to coax him with kind words again.

When Lian Que finally calmed down and focused on battling the death energy,

Jiang Wang let out a sigh of relief.

He quickly stepped into the Full Moon Gate, embarking on the final journey within the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm.
