Dragon King Hall's Legend

Seeing this blurry silhouette appear before him, Mu Jinyu's pupils suddenly constricted.

Having just performed a soul search on Withered Wood Taoist and Amalia, how could he not know that this was the new Observer of the Omniscient, Bai Xiaosheng!

"Ha!"

Immediately, Mu Jinyu let out a light shout, gathering True Yuan and amassing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Laws, ready to crush the opponent on the spot!

"Boom!!"

Suddenly, a thunderous explosion tore through the air, causing several rifts to appear in the void.

Spiritual Energy surged and scattered chaotically.

However, as everything gradually calmed down.

The just-relieved Mu Jinyu saw the blurry silhouette condense once again in front of him.

"Dragon King, what need is there for such anger? It seems there's no enmity between us."

The blurry silhouette emitted a voice that could be either male or female, laced with a touch of complaint and helplessness.

"Huh?!"

Mu Jinyu saw that the figure was unharmed and immediately realized that the shadow was merely a projection image, not the real person standing in front of him, hence it was impossible for him to kill the opponent.

Thus, he suppressed the turbulence and killing intent in his heart, coldly staring at the blurry figure before him, and said coldly:

"No enmity? Let's not talk about my brother being set up by your Omniscient machinations, creating grave errors, now atoning in the Demon World. Just recently, you've repeatedly colluded with organizations like Withered Tree Quest for Spring, Fallen Splendor, and Paradise Lost against my Dragon King Hall, and you still dare to say there's no enmity?!"

Bai Xiaosheng sighed slightly upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words and said: "Regarding the matter of Xiang Mantang, I deeply regret it, but that was the doing of Li Yaotong, not me..."

"Haha, shifting the blame? Then the Qinling Dragon Vein incident, the Blood Clan gene incident, and the plot against Yu Shenfeng—surely those are your handiwork?"

Mu Jinyu sneered, saying dismissively.

Bai Xiaosheng sincerely asked in return, "And in these matters, has the Dragon King truly suffered any loss?"

Mu Jinyu stared at him coldly, without speaking.

Bai Xiaosheng chuckled, "I orchestrated the Qinling Dragon Vein incident to gain Paradise Lost's trust, but the result was that the Qinling Dragon Vein remained unscathed, and the Blood Clan gene incident was the same; their modified Vampires from Withered Tree Quest for Spring could never be a match against you, Dragon King."

"As for Yu Shenfeng, it was a gift for the Dragon King."

"Haha, injuring my friend so gravely and calling it a gift? Then please tell me where your true body is, so I can give you a proper 'gift' as well!" Mu Jinyu laughed angrily.

Bai Xiaosheng replied, "The Dragon King possesses Life Source Energy, so no matter how injured Yu Shenfeng is, he won't die. And the gift I mentioned is the Dragon Ball in the Dragon Palace."

Upon hearing Bai Xiaosheng's words, Mu Jinyu couldn't help but be taken aback.

Indeed, if Bai Xiaosheng didn't know about the tunnel leading to the Merfolk, with the Sea God Palace beneath, it might still be said that throwing Yu Shenfeng there after incapacitating him was unintentional.

And discovering the Dragon Ball while rescuing Yu Shenfeng could also be considered a blessing in disguise.

However, not long ago, Bai Xiaosheng had clearly informed Amalia about the Dragon Ball's location, prompting Amalia to go personally.

Given that, how could Bai Xiaosheng not know the Dragon Ball's whereabouts?

So clearly, he did it intentionally, so that during the search for Yu Shenfeng, I would obtain that Dragon Ball.

Then, Mu Jinyu thought about soul searching Amalia's memories, finding out she had painstakingly located that deserted island, only to discover she was too late, and vented in rage. Upon hearing from Bai Xiaosheng that I had left Huaxia, she couldn't contain her killing intent and impulsiveness, and joined Withered Wood and others to besiege Yinlong Mountain.

So, was this Bai Xiaosheng's scheme?

Mu Jinyu's expression fluctuated, uncertain what he was thinking.

"The Dragon King seems to understand my sincerity now."

Bai Xiaosheng, seeing Mu Jinyu's expression shift and the murderous intent not as overwhelming, smiled and said.

Mu Jinyu gave him a cold glance, and sneered, "Haha, what sincerity is this? If you had true sincerity, why resort to such complicated maneuvers? You could have contacted me directly and informed me of all the clues to these organizations' divisions, and I would be grateful to you."

After pausing, Mu Jinyu shook his head in disappointment and said, "But everything you did only made me understand that from the beginning, you intended to cooperate with them, but upon realizing my strength surpassed your expectations, you abandoned and betrayed them, posing as someone who infiltrated them to unearth their clues, an apparent picture of full sincerity — just a trick to gain my trust."

Bai Xiaosheng wasn't embarrassed at being exposed by Mu Jinyu's disdain and sarcasm, lightly chuckling, "Those who understand the times are brilliant."

"What's your purpose in finding me?!"

Though aware of the other's ill intent, Mu Jinyu couldn't address him now, so he asked what he truly wanted to do.

Bai Xiaosheng replied, "To help you, Dragon King, locate Paradise Lost's headquarters and terminate their Ancestral Dragon revival plan."

"Hmm?!" Mu Jinyu narrowed his eyes, coldly gazing at Bai Xiaosheng, trying to discern the expression beneath his blurry silhouette.

Unfortunately… he couldn't see anything.

Bai Xiaosheng said, "I believe Dragon King has already soul searched them and knows the details of Withered Tree Quest for Spring and Paradise Lost's various divisions, but even Amalia doesn't know Paradise Lost's headquarters. Surely, Dragon King you don't want to leave Paradise Lost unscathed this time?"

After a pause, he further added, "Most importantly, Paradise Lost's recent Ancestral Dragon revival scheme — Dragon King, you understand if that Ancestral Dragon Evil God revives, the ensuing disaster would undoubtedly rival the Dark Turmoil. Surely, you don't want them secretly plotting, eventually leading to countless tragedies?"

"But I can't trust you." Mu Jinyu stared coldly at Bai Xiaosheng, silently for a while before speaking coldly.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and asked, "With the Dragon King's strength, do you fear falling into my hands?"

Mu Jinyu sneered, "Haha, if you dare face me directly, that would be different. But your evasive tactics prevent me from dealing with you; how can I trust you?"

Bai Xiaosheng fell silent.

After a while…

Just as Mu Jinyu thought Bai Xiaosheng was about to leave in disgrace, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly sighed and spoke:

"Apologies, Dragon King, it's not that I refuse to face you or stay hidden — it's due to a hidden ailment, hindering my movements, and I can't teleport like you. Only through this method can I instantly travel afar and easily convey information…"

"If Dragon King must see me to believe, then please, come to Shennongjia; I'm there."

Bai Xiaosheng's tone was earnest, accompanied by resolute determination.

It seemed he also knew, revealing his true form to Mu Jinyu might reenact their initial encounter, where he could die on the spot by Mu Jinyu's hand.

However, he ultimately decided to gamble, believing in his use value and trusting Mu Jinyu wouldn't lose his reason and kill him on the spot.

"Fine, I'll visit Shennongjia then."

Mu Jinyu deeply looked at Bai Xiaosheng, speaking solemnly.

"Then I await the Dragon King's arrival at my humble abode…"

Bai Xiaosheng lightly chuckled at Mu Jinyu's words, raising his blurry hand to cupped fists towards Mu Jinyu, and then his figure dispersed like sand in the wind.
