Coming back to the moment when Yin Yin was dragged down the Baishui Pool by the dragon deity last night.

Ling Long looked at the gradually calming water, and his face became dark.

He stood by the pool of water, turned around and looked at the village chief quietly.

The village chief felt that the air seemed to freeze bit by bit. Out of instinct, he impulsively wants to turn around and escape, but he found that he couldn’t even move the corners of his mouth.

“Take me to the Dragon Palace.” Ling Long’s voice was like ice, and the village chief trembled with the cold. “I don’t know…… the way to the Dragon Palace.”

“You don’t know?” Every time Ling Long said a word, the village chief’s goose bumps would pop up.

“I really don’t know……” The village chief was almost ready to cry. “It was usually the Dragon Deity who took their own initiative to contact me.”

Ling Long watched the village chief without speaking, and the village chief looked back at him sincerely.

“Will you say it or not?” The village chief just blinked an eye and Ling Long’s hand was already clasping his neck.

“I really…… don’t know……” The village chief said every word with difficulty, but the contents of the words was replaced by Ling Long’s more forceful clamp.

“Ke…… If I told you, the Dragon Deity will…… kill all the people in the village.”

The murderous aura on Ling Long’s body became a bit heavier. “If you don’t say it, I will kill them now.”

Although the man in front of him who claimed to be Goudan was good-looking and gentle, the village chief had no doubt that he was capable of killing all the villagers. He knew that the person in front of him was someone not to be trifled with, but neither was the Dragon Deity.

In that case…… let them fight each other.

The village chief took a hard breath. “I only know…… the exit of the Dragon Palace.”

Ling Long immediately said without hesitation, “Take me there.”

The village chief brought Ling Long to the sacrificial platform. He pointed to an inconspicuous small slope next to the sacrificial platform. “This is the exit of the Dragon Palace.”

Ling Long stepped forward. Because it was too dark at night, this added a lot of difficulty for Ling Long to find the secret door. Seeing Ling Long knocking on the ground for a long time and getting nothing, the village chief finally couldn’t help but say, “This secret door can only be opened from the inside. There is no way to get in from the outside.”

Ling Long frowned. Faintly was dragged to the Dragon Palace by the dragon deity, her life and death were uncertain, so he couldn’t waste any more time.

He turned and walked towards Baishui Pool.

“Where are you going?!” The village chief watched Ling Long heading towards Baishui Pool again and hurriedly stopped him.

“Go and look for the entrance under Baishui Pool.” Ling Long replied without looking back.

“It’s useless for you to go!” The village chief yelled at his back. “There are countless secret mechanisms arranged by the Dragon Deity at the bottom. I am afraid that you will die first without a burial place before even seeing the shadow of the Dragon Palace!”

“Then do you want me to just wait here?” Ling Long stopped. His amber eyes shrouded in the shadow.

The village chief froze again. He swallowed his saliva and proposed, “The sacrifice will be held tomorrow morning. Tonight, the Dragon Deity will definitely transport Huihui and Dagou here.”

There is still one day.

Ling Long’s eyes darkened even more. “I can’t wait that long.”

“I think that young lady has a blessed face. She will surely be able to turn a calamity into a blessing.” The village chief comforted.

“Heh.” Ling Long raised the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly. “If not, how will you compensate for it?”

Village Chief: “……”

Even if I say I would accompany you, you wouldn’t want it either ah.

“Young Master Goudan (something close to: Son of a b*tch),” The village chief felt awkward to pronounce this title. “The Dragon Deity is not an ordinary person. I believe you know it very well. I think Young Master still has injuries on your body, and If you fight the Dragon Deity, it would only be an arduous and fruitless task. Now the thing we should do is to try and outsmart them.”

Ling Long also knew that the village chief was right, but if he didn’t do anything and just wait here, he…… can’t do it!

He took out the last signal flare from his body, held it in his hand and contemplated.

He was now at the bottom of the valley, even if he set off the signal flare, the people of the Spider Web would not be able to see him. But he has been missing for two days, and his subordinates must have been looking for him. But…… even if they were really under the Yundai Valley and saw this flare, they wouldn’t be able to enter Baishui Village.

Ling Long knitted his brows. At this moment, he couldn’t care so much about these things. He can only keep trying everything in this desperate situation.

He found two flints and ignited the signal flare in his hand. Soon, a purple flower bloomed in the air.

“What is this?” The village chief looked at the beautiful flower blooming in the night sky and asked curiously.

“A signal flare.” Ling Long also looked at the purple flower but his eyes were filled with worry.

“Signal flare?” The village chief glanced at Ling Long. “Is it used to tell others your location?”

Ling Long nodded.

“But they can’t enter Baishui Village ah.” The village chief contested this.

Ling Long pursed his mouth. “They will find a way.”

……

All Spider Web’s men who looked at him with blood on their faces: Thank you for your trust, Leader!

*******

The sky gradually brightened, and the sun hung in the sky, but no matter how bright the sun was, the gloom in Ling Long’s eyes could not be dispelled.

He can only trust Yin Yin now. She must have thought of a way to protect herself. Although she is not good at martial arts, she has a lot of tricks. As long as she persists till tonight, he will have a way to save her.

During this long waiting process, Ling Long asked the village chief a lot of information about the dragon deity. The village chief knew everything and spoke without reserve. He established a profound revolutionary friendship (a friendship reached because of a common goal) with Ling Long. Although he didn’t think that this Young Master Goudan can really beat the Dragon Deity, but it is always good to have a thought.

Maybe, just in case– he could really defeat the Dragon Deity.

Because today is the day before the sacrifice, all the villagers must stay at home, so the whole Baishui Village was surprisingly quiet. The village chief took some dry food and water from his house and made do with it with Ling Long.

According to the village chief, the reason why their ancestors migrated to Baishui Village on a large scale was to avoid the disasters of war. In order to prevent villagers from leaving Baishui Village without authorization, causing everyone’s death, they made up a legend about a Dragon Deity. Only later, this legend was used by someone with an ulterior motive and became a chain that shackles the entire Baishui Village.

Every village chief will know the truth about the Dragon Deity from the previous village chief, and they will then continue to guard this secret, so as to protect the villagers of Baishui Village. However, when it arrived to him…… the village chief sighed helplessly. “I was actually surprised when I learned that the Dragon Deity did not exist. After all, this is a Deity that Baishui villagers have believed in for generations, but I also understand the good intentions of my ancestors. I wanted to continue guarding Baishui Village just like them, but one day, an unexpected guest came.

They fell off from the cliff and I had saved them. But I did not expect them to bite the hands that feed them. When they learned that we believe in a Dragon Deity here, they harbored evil intentions. They incited a villager, made him suspicious of the Dragon Deity so he would want to leave the Village, and then…… killed the villager who had left the Village. They threw his body back to the Village entrance, and forced me to tell the villagers that this was the price of disobeying the Dragon Deity. “

To loosen the reins only to grasp them better? Ling Long couldn’t help but sneer in his heart. It really was a good method.

The village chief continued, “Sure enough, since that day, the villagers had become more convinced of the existence of the Dragon Deity, and then the nightmare of Baishui Village began. They put forward the practice of offering sacrifices to relieve the Dragon Deity’s anger. They forced me do so, otherwise…… they will slaughter the whole village.”

This move was not only to loosen the reins only to grasp them better, but also a good excuse for doing the sacrifice. It was simply killing two birds with one stone.

Ling Long frowned. “Haven’t the other villagers seen them?”

“No.” The village chief shook his head. “The day I rescued them, it happened to be late at night, so no villagers saw them. During the period of recuperation, they stayed home and asked me not to tell anyone about them, saying that they were afraid of their enemies coming to the door. I didn’t doubt them at that time, and so I didn’t tell anyone. Later, when they recovered from their wounds, we had already fallen into their trap without even knowing about it.

Their martial arts is very high and I can’t resist them at all. In addition, they threatened the lives of villagers of Baishui Village, so I can only obey them. Over the years, they have been studying a certain medicine. The villagers are just tools for them to test it. The people who were taken to the Dragon Palace will have a drastic change in temperament after coming out, and they will be extremely violent. These are the ramifications caused by testing the medicine for them.

And the one-year life span is already their limit.

In order to prevent other villagers from being suspicious, they would be burned alive as soon as they were released. They were said to be sacrifices, but it was only to pull the wool over people’s eyes. This kind of sacrifice was too cruel, and the villagers began to resist. Someone took the lead in calling everyone to go out of the village together, but they…… had already been prepared and set up a formation at the entrance of the village. “

This dragon deity not only has high martial arts and good at Qimen Dunjia, but is also meticulous. They are really a very difficult opponent.

Ling Long’s brows frowned even more tightly. Facing such a person, he really has no chance of winning right now.

“Has no one in the village noticed their existence over the years?” Ling Long asked.

“They had always stayed at the bottom of Baishui Pool and rarely come up at ordinary times. When they occasionally came up, it was always at night.” The village chief recalled, “But sometimes they would leave Baishui Village to collect herbs for the medicine they are developing. The day the two of you came here, they happened to be out of the village.”

It turned out to be like this. Ling Long suddenly felt that he and Yin Yin should already be home by now. If they hadn’t been seen by the dragon deity that day, there would not have been so many things that happened later.

“Do you know what medicine they are developing?” Ling Long looked at the village chief.

“I don’t know. They don’t trust anyone. But……” The village chief paused. “In the past few years, they have become younger and younger.”

Getting younger and younger?

Ling Long’s heart slammed. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have ignored a vital issue.

“When did this person came to Baishui Village?”

The village chief became serious because of Ling Long’s sudden grave tone. “It was ten years ago. I would never forget that day. If I hadn’t led the wolf into the house……”

The village chief was still criticizing himself in Ling Long’s ears, but Ling Long couldn’t listen to it at all.

Ten years ago, something big had happened in the Jianghu.
