Chapter 29 This is just the master's task.

The surging Dragon Qi was emanating from the Dragon Corpse, and it was only after Bai Jiaojiao concentrated and looked closely that she realized streams of blood essence were also converging towards the Dragon Corpse.

The blood of previously deceased Huang Jiao, White Snake, and several Elders from the Shenxiao Sect and Guanghan Palace was being absorbed by the Dragon Corpse.

"There's something odd about this Dragon Corpse! We need to get out of here fast."

Bai Jiaojiao quickly sensed the danger, caring not for the treasures on the True Dragon's body, but instead she picked up the still unconscious Green Snake and called for Lin Yun to flee.

At that moment, Lin Yun also noticed the red Dragon Corpse's body seemed to be glowing, and the originally cold water was now heating up, with the temperature rising more and more rapidly.

He hurriedly followed Bai Jiaojiao to the entrance they had come through, but like Bai Jiaojiao, when he tried to pass through the wall, he only hit the wall surface, unable to get out.

She gritted her teeth, and her arm turned into a dragon's claw, striking the wall, but it had no effect whatsoever.

"Help me carry Xiao Qing."

Bai Jiaojiao handed Xiao Qing, who was on her back, to Lin Yun, and Lin Yun promptly shouldered her. Bai Jiaojiao transformed both her hands into dragon claws, continuously striking the wall, yet the wall remained unresponsive.

"Don't waste your energy, you won't be able to get out. Resign yourselves to staying here and become my master's sacrifice!"

Lin Yun looked towards the voice and saw it was Qiuping, who had disappeared for a long time.

"It's you!"

Bai Jiaojiao saw Qiuping and realized she had been tricked. When she and several people from Shenxiao Gate were in confrontation, she had felt a strong surge of Dragon Qi. Looking towards it, she saw Qiuping, who then entered through the wall.

Bai Jiaojiao was lured by this and chased after, inadvertently entering the Dragon Tomb.

Lin Yun found out that Bai Jiaojiao also knew Qiuping and learned of their past connections, instantly understanding that Qiuping could freely enter and exit this chamber.

"Your master needs more time to awaken, but killing you will be quick. Let's all take a step back, open the passage and let us go. With the blood of the others, it should be enough for your master's awakening, shouldn't it?"

Lin Yun started to negotiate with Qiuping, but Qiuping merely laughed disdainfully and said, "Do you actually think you can kill me? My soul holds half of my master's Dragon Soul, you can't kill me."

"Half of the Dragon Soul? Doesn't that make you equal to your master? Even so, you're willing to kneel and be my bed-warming ghost, quite the endurance you have."

Lin Yun engaged in mockery, causing Bai Jiaojiao to look at him anew.

This young man, appearing so righteous, turned out to be a lustful spirit. It was one thing to desire her, Bai Jiaojiao—after all, whether in demon or human form, she was extremely beautiful—but to think he wouldn't even let a female ghost off the hook?

Frightening human.

"It's merely my master's mission, after all. My master sleeps within me, the one disgraced is but myself alone."

"If you refuse to cooperate, we have no choice but to fight it out."

Now, the water in the Dragon Tomb was getting shallower, even lower than the platform holding the Dragon Corpse. Seeing the red glow intensify, Lin Yun knew he didn't have much time left.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Dragon Corpse couldn't resist, Lin Yun wielded his sword and stabbed at the wound he had made before, as stabbing at other places was useless.

"How dare you!"

Qiuping had thought Lin Yun would be unable to harm the Dragon Corpse, but upon seeing the gushing golden Dragon Blood, she realized she had underestimated him. She hastily tried to stop him, but Lin Yun threw a fireball her way, forcing her to retreat.

"Aren't you going to help?"

Lin Yun called out to Bai Jiaojiao, who helplessly replied, "Can't you feel the Dragon's Might?"

She too wanted to kill this dragon before it woke up, but the Dragon's Might was too overwhelming for those of the Dragon Clan; it was their bloodline suppression. Even though her Cultivation Level was now extremely high and her wounds had healed, her legs were starting to weaken under the pressure of the Dragon's Might.

If it weren't for her resolute mind, she would have already been kneeling in submission.

"Great, my teammate is entirely useless."

Lin Yun had no choice but to rely on himself.

After stabbing forcefully into the wound several times, Lin Yun extracted an oval bead from inside.

"Could this be a Dragon Ball?"

"How dare you harm my master!"

Qiuping was about to go mad with frustration. That wasn't a Dragon Ball at all; it was a Dragon Egg.

"Nonsense!"

They were making me a sacrifice, and I wasn't going to resist?

Do you know that the more cowardly a person is, the stronger their will to survive?

A ghostly apparition suddenly floated out of Qiuping's body, and at that moment, the same kind of apparition also floated out of Huang Jiao's body.

The two merged into one before descending onto the Dragon Corpse.

Bai Jiaojiao was also shocked. It seemed like half of the Dragon Soul was actually residing within Huang Jiao.

How could this be!

As the Dragon Soul descended, Lin Yun suddenly heard a series of strong heartbeats.

The dragon was truly revived!

Taking advantage of the fact that he could still move, Lin Yun hastened his actions and dug out two more beads that looked the same, although one was slightly more elastic.

"Roar!"

A dragon roar as loud as thunderbolt exploded next to his ear, causing Lin Yun's head to spin for a moment, and he felt an itch in his throat. With a cough, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Fuck, was a True Dragon this fierce?

With the dragon revived, Lin Yun didn't dare to stay by its side any longer. He picked up the three beads he had just dug up, not sure which was the Dragon Ball, and decided to just scoop them up for later.

If there really was a Dragon Ball among them, the dragon's power would definitely be reduced quite a bit, and correspondingly, their chances of survival would increase.

At the same time, Lin Yun threw a fireball at Qiuping, instantly turning her into nothingness.

The Fire Seed within Lin Yun became more solidified. Although it didn't sprout another petal, killing Qiuping was equivalent to reaping a hundred ordinary Ghost Souls.

"Roar!"

The revived Red Dragon roared again, and Lin Yun had already returned to Bai Jiaojiao's side. She cast a Water Wall with her magic to block some of the sound for Lin Yun.

Otherwise, if the dragon roared twice more, Lin Yun would have died on the spot.

"What's with this thing, howling and yowling like that?"

Hearing this, Bai Jiaojiao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

In this life-and-death situation, Lin Yun's tone was still so relaxed that she was affected by it.

"Maybe, it's shouting, 'I've finally seen the light of day again!'"

At that moment, the Red Dragon was still circling and hissing, apparently not aware of Lin Yun and Bai Jiaojiao.

"Makes sense, but I feel like the first roar was full of joy, whereas the roars now seem to carry a mix of confusion, anger, and emptiness."

Lin Yun expressed his feelings, and Bai Jiaojiao felt like laughing again.

She didn't feel it at all.

Wasn't it just randomly roaring?

"Where the fuck am I?"

The Red Dragon suddenly spoke in human language, and the tone did carry the confusion, anger, and emptiness that Lin Yun had mentioned.

Bai Jiaojiao looked at Lin Yun, who in turn looked at the things he had wrapped in cloth.

Sorry, I cut that off.

Lin Yun realized he had done something that would very likely draw hate. He quickly tossed those items toward Daoist Master Huang Long, but at that moment, the Red Dragon turned its gaze towards him...

Danger!
