Chapter 98

This chapter is an additional update for classmate Wengsh1992, thank you for your support. There will be another chapter later.

As the chapter begins, Chen Qinglong stands at the entrance of the classroom, takes a deep breath, and tightly holds the letter containing secrets given to him by his mother.

---

Chen Qinglong coughed up a large mouthful of blood as he hit the white jade pillar, his face filled with shock as he looked at the murderous Ning Wuxie. It was too terrifying; the aura was like the might of heaven, leaving him completely powerless to resist.

Even the group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals were thrown out, scattered and dazed, and the coral table was shattered into pieces.

"Master Ning?"

Dongting Dragon King walked in from outside the hall, glanced at the mess on the ground and the fiercely angry Ning Wuxie, and waved for the shrimp soldiers and crab generals to leave.

"Dragon King..."

Ning Wuxie suppressed his anger and murderous intent. Chen Qinglong had only said it was possible that he had been there, and there was no certainty that anything had happened to Ning Family Village. He consoled himself and forced himself to calm down.

"What happened?" Dongting Dragon King glanced at Chen Qinglong, a flash of killing intent in his eyes, and said in a deep voice.

Ning Wuxie was the key to his escape. He had spent so much effort and treasure to help Ning Wuxie cultivate. As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, he would not allow anything to interfere with his plans.

Ning Wuxie sensed the dissatisfaction in Dongting Dragon King's tone and shook his head slightly, "Nothing serious, just heard something that made me angry."

Dongting Dragon King looked deeply at Ning Wuxie, "I hope so. Tomorrow night is the 15th of August. I hope nothing goes wrong."

"15th of August?" Chen Qinglong exclaimed, "I heard that those people outside plan to attack the Dragon Palace on the 15th of August!"

"Hmm?"

Both Ning Wuxie and Dongting Dragon King looked at Chen Qinglong. Attack the Dongting Dragon Palace?

"Ha ha ha, attack the Dongting Dragon Palace? They can't even find the entrance. Little brother must have heard wrong."

Chen Qinglong shook his head, "After I jumped into the lake, I vaguely heard someone by the lake talking about finding the entrance and planning to attack the Dongting Dragon Palace on the 15th of August. I don't know if it's true, but the Dragon King can send someone to investigate."

"It's impossible. Unless they are from the Dragon Palace, no one else can enter." Dongting Dragon King was very confident in the restrictions of the Dongting Dragon Palace and shook his head repeatedly.

Ning Wuxie thought of the sneaky red-clothed Ao Zi and looked at Dongting Dragon King, saying calmly, "Nothing is absolute. The Dongting Dragon Palace is not just for the people of the Dragon Palace; there are outsiders like me and him, right?"

"Unless..."

Dongting Dragon King was not a fool and could not fail to understand Ning Wuxie's meaning. His face suddenly turned grim.

"Little brat..."

Dongting Dragon King waved his sleeve and hurried out of the hall.

"Dragon King, I need to check the terrain on the north shore."

"Let Shrimp Three and Shrimp Four take you..."

Dongting Dragon King's voice came from a distance.

After the Dragon King left, Ning Wuxie's face turned dark. He looked at Chen Qinglong, his expression slightly softened, "Any news of Ning Wushuang?"

"No, he should be fine. He used an alias when entering the Heavenly Demon Path. Yinggeye is not the one who betrayed us. He saved me when I was being pursued!"

Ning Wuxie took a deep breath, his eyes filled with deep disappointment, "Yinggeye? He might have other motives. The only person who could know my every move and even about Ning Family Village is one person."

Chen Qinglong's body trembled, "Master, you mean... It's impossible. She has no reason to betray you. It can't be her, right?"

"I hope it's not her. If it is her, no matter the reason, it is unforgivable!"

Chen Qinglong lowered his head in silence. He could feel Ning Wuxie's disappointment and the pain of being betrayed. The deep, heart-wrenching pain of being stabbed by the person you trusted the most could only be felt by the one who experienced it.

"You stay here and recover. I expect something unusual to happen tomorrow night. Be careful. If I don't come back, find a chance to leave the Dragon Palace and live in seclusion under a false name. If I am still alive, I will find you. The grudges of the brothers at the inn and the evil cultivators must be avenged... Debts must be repaid, and lives must be compensated!"

Ning Wuxie left the palace and, led by Shrimp Three and Shrimp Four, exited the Dragon Palace. Even underwater, he could sense the various auras, both righteous and evil, around the shores of Dongting Lake.

In the deep, dark lake bottom, Ning Wuxie glanced coldly at the shore and followed the two shrimp soldiers north.

"Master Ning, this is the boundary. Beyond here is the territory of the Lake God. Our strength is weak, so we won't go further. Be careful!"

Ning Wuxie nodded, cast a water-repelling spell, and swam north for several hundred meters. Under a large rock, Ning Wuxie's figure flickered, transforming into a carp. With a flick of its tail, it swam toward the northern part of Dongting Lake.

This transformation technique was taught to Ning Wuxie by the Dongting Dragon King, allowing him to transform into aquatic creatures. It is one of the thirty-six transformations, which refers to a category of transformations, not a single transformation.

Once you understand the principles, one method leads to all methods!

Compared to the south shore, the north shore was more sinister and eerie. Various demonic auras scattered around the lake bottom, and the order of the Dragon Palace was well-maintained, while the north shore was chaotic, with the carp not gathering all the demonic creatures in one place, like a scattered group of sand.

Dongting Lake was rich in resources, with countless fish. No one would pay attention to a single carp. Swimming around the north shore, Ning Wuxie headed toward the area with the densest demonic aura. Even before he approached, he felt a pressure.

As a demon, Ning Wuxie could clearly sense that beneath the dense demonic aura, there was a more powerful and profound aura of immortals. The dense demonic aura was just to conceal this aura.

Ning Wuxie did not get too close to the Lake God's palace, observing from a distance behind a few large rocks.

"Hmm? Human?"

Suddenly, Ning Wuxie's fish eyes turned. A group of black-clothed figures, their bodies wrapped in water bubbles, entered the palace. They wore black clothes with a silver moon embroidered on their chests.

"The cultivation sects of the Nine Provinces, how did they hook up with the carp? Could the carp also be planning to attack the Dragon Palace?"

"Hmm? Not good!"

Suddenly, a great danger enveloped Ning Wuxie. A black shadow hovered above him. Ning Wuxie quickly turned and swam away, but the black shadow was incredibly fast, following closely behind.

Ning Wuxie tried to evade left and right but could not shake off the black shadow. It was like a cat playing with a mouse, following at a steady pace. When Ning Wuxie was fast, it was fast; when Ning Wuxie was slow, it was slow.

Realizing he had encountered a powerful opponent, Ning Wuxie stopped and turned to face the black shadow, transmitting his thoughts, "Who are you?"

The black shadow gradually became clearer in the deep, dark water, revealing a black turtle. Its shell was inscribed with runes, and it lacked limbs, making it look comical. It moved incredibly fast, like a dart cutting through the water, stopping not far from Ning Wuxie. Its dark green eyes sized up Ning Wuxie.

Ning Wuxie watched the old turtle cautiously, the overwhelming danger slowly dissipating. The old turtle spoke, "No wonder I felt a sense of familiarity. You are the descendant of an old acquaintance."
