The surviving scouts sent the news back to Ningguan City. Xue Ding was shocked and immediately reported it to the imperial court. Taichu Emperor was very interested in hearing the news that there was a dragon in the mountain. He wanted to go to Inky Cloud Mountain to find the dragon immediately, but he was dissuaded by all the officials. It was unknown how strong the dragon beasts in Inky Cloud Mountain were. They would not let His Majesty risk his life, especially since Inky Cloud Mountain was still at the border..

Li Boqian was also timid after being persuaded by the ministers, so he did not dare to take risks. However, the ministers went against his will as an emperor, which made him extremely angry. After that, he randomly found an excuse to teach the two leading ministers a lesson. The ministers knew what was going on, but they could do nothing to the emperor..

Since His Majesty no longer insisted on searching for the dragon himself, he handed over the matter of searching for the dragon to the Galaxy Sect..

On the top floor of the Jade Balance Hall of the Galaxy Sect, an old man with white beard and hair and a wrinkled face was sitting cross-legged in meditation. There was no trace of internal energy fluctuation around him, and he was no different from other ordinary old men. There was a person standing respectfully in front of the old man's bed. This person had a kind and dignified face. It was none other than the sect leader of the Galaxy Sect, Chen Yaoguang..

Chen Yaoguang stood there and waited for a long time, but she didn't see any irritation. She smiled quietly at the old man until he slowly opened his eyes..

"Feng 'er, you're here..

The old man looked at Chen Yaoguang and said,"I want to get up.".

"Yes, Master..

Chen Yaoguang hurried forward to help.

"Did you encounter something difficult again? Ah, you didn't come to see me for nothing..

The old man shook his head..

Chen Yaoguang touched his head and said somewhat embarrassed,"This disciple is not busy. Master, you have not been a master. This disciple has no skills.".

At this time, Chen Yaoguang did not have the dignity of a leader. In front of Master, he seemed to have changed back to the child who cultivated with Master decades ago..

The old man went to the table to pick up the teapot, Chen Yaoguang rushed forward to pick up the teapot first, poured half a cup of tea into the teacup and handed it to the old man. The old man was also impolite, and the teacup sipped..

"Tell me, why did you come to see me today?.

'said the old man, putting down his cup.

"It's nothing serious. I just want to ask Master something..

Chen Yaoguang gently scratched his ear with his right hand and smiled awkwardly..

" If you have something to say, say it quickly. You're being coy and acting like you don't have a leader!" The old man glared at Chen Yaoguang and said with dissatisfaction. Chen Yaoguang immediately panicked..

" Master, don't be angry. I'll tell you right now. Isn't there news that dragons have appeared from Mo Yun Mountain? I just want to ask you, Master, are true dragons still alive?" Chen Yaoguang said immediately..

" Feng 'er, let me ask you, are there immortals in the world?" The old man slowly walked to the window, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked up at the sky..

"There shouldn't be. The legendary Saint of Ancient Yue who lived for 600 years said on his deathbed that he had been searching for the immortal path for hundreds of years, but in the end, it was just a lie. There are no immortals and no reincarnation in this world. Later, people have to live in the present..

Chen Yaoguang's expression was grave..

"This passage was widely circulated among cultivators. From then on, most people in the world did not believe in immortals. Does this have anything to do with the dragon beasts of Inky Cloud Mountain?.

Chen Yaoguang asked doubtfully..

"Feng 'er, this Gu Yue isn't just as simple as living for a long time. When he was alive, he was invincible in the world. He suppressed the entire martial world for hundreds of years by himself and was called the person closest to the immortal path..

"This is why he said that there are no immortals in the world and everyone believes it, but I tell you that this world is not completely devoid of traces left by immortals. I have deduced that some kind of change has occurred between heaven and earth, causing there to be no immortals in the world, and people can no longer become immortals.".

The old man's tone was calm as he talked about the most mysterious topic between heaven and earth. The entire person's temperament was somewhat immortal..

" Master, do you mean that since there are no immortals in the world, dragons, mythical creatures that are closely related to immortals, naturally won't exist in the world?" Chen Yaoguang said in realization..

"That beast on Inky Cloud Mountain naturally can't be a true dragon, but as I said, there are traces of immortals in this world, so dragons naturally have bloodlines..

"When I was young, I went to Mo Yun Mountain. At that time, Mo Yun Mountain made me feel that there was a great danger in the mountain. If I entered, I would die. You must know that I entered the Grandmaster Realm early, but I did not dare to enter the mountain and left in a hurry.".

"Later, after I became a Dao Saint, I never left Purple Dou Mountain, nor did I go to Black Cloud Mountain to check again. It seems that the great evil in Black Cloud Mountain is this dragon beast. Tell me the details.".

Chen Yaoguang told the old man the news from Ning Guan City in detail, and the old man listened silently, as if he was thinking about something..

The old man shook his head and frowned." If I sensed this dragon back then, then there must be something wrong with this dragon. How could it allow hunters and scouts to escape when it was attacked by Grandmasters? This is really suspicious.".

"Master, are you saying that this dragon has a problem and its strength is greatly reduced?" Chen Yaoguang's eyes lit up..

"Logically speaking, it should be like this. According to the current situation, we can first send Huang Xin into the mountains to investigate the situation. This kid's life-saving methods are a few times stronger than that of my teacher back then..

The old man nodded lightly and said,"When it comes to Huang Xin, there is a smile on his face.".

"If we can really capture this dragon beast, it will be a big gain regardless of whether we live or die..

”：.

"I'm going to make the arrangements," the disciple said..

"The old man said,'I'm going to leave.'.

"Calm down. You're over 50 years old. You're still impetuous..

The old man looked at his disciple angrily, but his eyes were filled with love..

There were no walls that were airtight, not to mention the fact that various forces had planted many spies and spies among other forces. The news that there was a dragon on Inky Cloud Mountain soon spread in the Central Plains. All major forces sent experts to Inky Cloud Mountain one after another. Some pretentious Jianghu heroes gathered in the direction of Inky Cloud Mountain on their own or in groups to see if they could get some benefits from it..

Gu Xifeng was one of the first to arrive at Mo Yun Mountain. However, he hid in the dark and did not reveal his whereabouts. Little Yingye was left in the inn where Gu Xifeng stayed. Gu Xifeng prepared plenty of spirit beast food and water for the little guy and instructed it for a long time. After listening to Gu Xifeng's nagging, the little guy actually nodded obediently. He was already able to understand human nature at such a young age, which surprised Gu Xifeng and relieved him a lot..

Gu Xifeng hid himself as he muttered," Huang Xin is really something. The Hierarch clearly asked him to investigate, but he sent me here. That's a dragon. I suspect he wants me to be cannon fodder.".

Huang Xin's mission to Gu Xifeng clearly mentioned that the Sect Leader asked him to investigate Mo Yun Mountain himself. Huang Xin claimed that he had something important to do and asked Gu Xifeng to stand first before he arrived. He also said that Gu Xifeng would receive a portion of this great contribution..

The more Gu Xifeng thought about it, the more he felt that Huang Xin was scamming him again. However, he had no choice but to stare at the group of people who had almost arrived at Mo Yun Mountain with him. These people did not notice Gu Xifeng, who was hiding in the dark..

There were more than thirty people in this group. Judging from their clothes, most of them were from the North Chu army. There were two exceptions. The leader was a young man dressed in brocade clothes and carrying a sword at his waist. He looked very handsome. Gu Xifeng felt that his appearance was quite familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen him before..

Behind the young man was a middle-aged man dressed in black fabric. He had a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a straight face..

He was of medium build and not strong. For some reason, he always gave people a sense of strength. It seemed that he was a close follower of young men..

The young man was probably in his twenties. He often wore a warm smile and looked very easy to get along with. However, from the way his subordinates listened to him and occasionally revealed a trace of fear, it could be seen that this guy was not simple..

Following the young man's order, everyone walked towards the dense forest of Mo Yun Mountain. Gu Xifeng fell behind them from afar. The middle-aged man who looked like a retinue made Gu Xifeng sense the dangerous aura, which made Gu Xifeng dare not approach easily..

At this moment, the dense forest was not as quiet as before. There were already traces of animal activity, which made the young man frown slightly. This was already somewhat different from what the intelligence had said..

The group proceeded smoothly. Soon, they arrived at the area covered with giant beast corpses mentioned in the intelligence report. The rotten smell here was extremely strong, causing the experts of the North Chu army to cover their mouths and noses. There were some wild beasts gnawing on the rotten corpses. When they saw someone intruding, they hurriedly fled into the depths of the forest..

The team did not stop here, but continued to move deeper into the forest..

When the group of people arrived at the foot of Sky Sword Peak, there was no movement in the calm lake water. The young man ordered an armorer to jump into the lake to check. The armorer took off his armor almost without hesitation and jumped into the lake water..

After a while, the soldier came out and floated on the surface of the water and said,"Young Master, there is no fish in the lake.".

At the young man's signal, the soldier returned to the shore, regardless of the wet clothes on his body, and put the armor back on his body. The young man's face became more solemn..

" What's going on? Is the intelligence wrong?" The young man turned to look at the middle-aged man..

The man raised his head to look at the Sky Sword Peak above him and said," Young Master, I think the intelligence is correct. That beast is very likely up there!" The man's voice was hoarse and very unpleasant to hear..

The young man pondered for a moment and said,"Don't act rashly first. I think someone will explore the way for us.".

The middle-aged man nodded and did not say anything else..

The young man gave the order, and the team entered the dense forest once again, returning to the outside of Mo Yun Mountain along the original route..

Gu West Wind saw all this in his eyes, but he still followed them far away and made no other movements..

The first team to go into the mountains to find the dragon came back without success.

Little did they know that on Tianjian Peak, a pair of huge scarlet eyes had been quietly staring down, their eyes full of anger and sadness..
