Chapter 4375: 5.0127 Bringing It Upon Themselves

Although Little Qi had entered the late growth stage, he was no match for a mature sacred beast.

The Black Dragon was merely a translucent soul body, yet one strike almost overwhelmed Little Qi.

If it were to fully recover, everyone here would be in grave trouble!

Mo Lian and Feng Chen now fully understood.

The object on Long Qian's staff was not a black pearl at all, but a seal bead.

This Black Dragon had been sealed within the black pearl by an unknown person using a special technique, likely many years ago.

It was currently in a translucent soul body state, but it was clear that as long as it absorbed enough sacred power, it could slowly regain its physical form.

Qiao Mu half-leaned in Mo Lian's embrace, unable to speak, her head hanging limply, letting the blood from the corners of her mouth drip onto the sandy ground.

"Qiaoqiao." Mo Lian quickly lifted her slightly, reaching out to support her head.

At the same time, Peony Immortal, Little Taisui, and others flew out of the Peach Blossom Star, rushing to Feng Chen's side without a word, and immediately engaged in battle with the semi-spectral Black Dragon.

Bai Ningshuang laughed maniacally, reaching out to touch the air in front of her, repeatedly crying out, "How is it? How is it? Has the thing inside killed that stoic face yet?"

Long Xiangyun covered her shoulder, which felt like it would split open from the impact, and glared angrily at Bai Ningshuang. "Second Aunt, have you gone mad? How could you open Grandmother's forbidden seal?!"

"Ha, haha!" Bai Ningshuang ignored Long Xiangyun's angry roar, repeatedly reaching out to touch the air in front of her, wanting to grab someone and ask about the current situation.

"Second Aunt!" Long Xiangyun's face changed.

Just as she called out "Second Aunt," she saw the translucent Black Dragon swoop down.

Its dragon body coiled and swirled, and its tail swept heavily.

The staggering Bai Ningshuang was directly sent flying by the Black Dragon's long tail, crashing heavily onto the ground.

Her body, as it was, could not withstand a single blow from a sacred beast.

She couldn't even catch her breath and instantly perished.

"Second Aunt," Long Xiangyun cried out in astonishment.

Suddenly feeling her arm lighten, she looked back to see Long Hui pulling her back several steps, stopping only when they reached a safe distance.

"Brother, Second Aunt, she?"

Long Hui shook his head weakly. "She opened the Black Dragon's seal without authorization. This matter will likely not end well."

Long Xiangyun turned and slapped the black luminous barrier, pounding it twice forcefully, then clenched her fists. "We can't get out."

"Heh, a sacred beast's barrier; do you think just anyone can leave?"

By this time, everyone had also helped the old lady, Long Qian, to the siblings' side.

"Grandmother, how are you?"

Long Qian shook her head slightly, coughed heavily twice, but her gaze unexpectedly fell on Qiao Mu, and she roared hoarsely, "Mu Qiao, you, quickly... summon it to suppress it."

"Qiaoqiao? Qiaoqiao." Mo Lian felt an inexplicable unease as he saw her head still hanging low.

He supported her waist, extended a hand, and gently lifted her chin.

Upon seeing her, his mind was instantly shaken.

He saw that Qiaoqiao's eyes were completely blood-red, and in her gaze, there seemed to be no living things left.

"Qiaoqiao?" Mo Lian was momentarily stunned, wanting to reach out and embrace her.

However, his raised arm was heavily pushed away by the little one.

She stood up with a bewildered and indifferent expression, her gaze fixed on the Black Dragon roaring in the air.

Within her spiritual consciousness, which was churning like a stormy sea, faint, terrifying fluctuations began.
