Only three people and a dog were left in the dark passage.
As usual, Little Wang hid behind Jiang Hao and didnât dare to move.
The dim light from the lantern swayed gently. Their shadows appeared distorted.
As for the old manâs question, Jiang Hao looked at him without saying a word.
A moment later, he crouched down and stroked Little Wangâs fur.
He smiled. âSenior, what are you talking about? Little Wang wasnât tamed. It just follows me willingly.â
âIsnât that so, Little Wang?â Jiang hao asked the dog.
âWoof!â Little Woof nodded and wagged its tail.
Jiang Hao slowly stood up. âSenior, did you see it?â
He was a little surprised that this person had figured out that the dog was the Nine Nether.
This version of the creature was only a part of the real Nine Nether.
It wasnât the real deal.
However, this old man had still seen through it.
As for the dragonâŚ
Jiang Hao didnât answer him.
He was in no hurry to answer him.
The old man looked at Jiang Hao. After a long time, he turned around and continued walking.
âWhat is your purpose here?â
âPurpose?â Jiang Hao thought for a moment. âI want to see the dragon.â
âYou only want to see the dragon?â asked the old man as he strode forward.
âAnd I want a Scarlet Feather Divine Pill,â Jiang Hao said with a smile.
âThatâs easy. Iâll send you to the alchemy room later. If you can get it, itâs yours. If you canât, then itâs useless to try,â said the old man.
âAre there really dragons here?â Jiang Hao asked.
âNo. Ask me if you have any other questions,â said the old man.
Jiang Hao was silent for a moment. He followed the old man. After a while, he said, âSenior, do you know where the Dragon Clan is? When will it reappear?â
âWhere did the dragons go?â The old man seemed to be lost in thought. After a long time, he shook his head and sighed. âI donât know. The dragons that stayed behind didnât know where the other dragons went. We only know that they headed to the Ancient Lands. Perhaps we can find them in the deep sea.â
Jiang Hao remembered that one of the most important people of the End of All Things had disappeared into the deep sea.
He had not returned yet.
âDoes the Dragon Clan have a spell related to memory?â Jiang Hao asked.
âA memory spell?â The old man thought for a moment. âYes, but itâs an ordinary spell. It isnât any good. Even humans can use that spell.â
The information Zhang looked for wasnât ordinary. It must be a different spell.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and Jiang Hao saw the stairs.
He didnât know where it led to.
âSenior, have you heard of the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl?â Jiang Hao walked down the stairs and offered his hand to Hong Yuye.
She was wearing a dress, so he helped her down the stairs.
She glanced at him, then gently took his arm and walked up the stairs.
After a while, Jiang Hao withdrew his hand and followed behind the old man.
âArchean Abyss Dragon Pearl?â The old man was puzzled.
âYou have never heard of it, Senior?â
âNo.â
Jiang Hao frowned and looked at the woman beside him.
He asked her if he could take the pearl out. She didnât refuse.
They walked down the stairs. The dark passage never seemed to end.
âSenior, please take a look at this.â Jiang Hao took out the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl.
The old man was curious.
This pearl seemed to have something to do with the Dragon Clan from its name alone. He could also guess that the dragon that it belonged to wasnât in a good state.
Otherwise, why would this person ask about dragons and memory spells?
The moment he saw the pearl, his eyes narrowed.
âDid you discover anything, Senior?â Jiang Hao sensed the change in the old manâs gaze.
âIâve never seen this dragon pearl before.â The old man stared at the dragon pearl in Jiang Haoâs hand in shock. âThere was no such dragon pearl in my era. Or rather, there was no such pearl among the dragons when they walked the earth at all.â
âNo?â Jiang Hao was surprised.
The old man nodded and calmed himself down. âIt could be from an Ancient Land, or it could be a dragon pearl from another era. At that time, there were many Dragon Clans. But⌠this dragon pearl⌠Itâs extraordinary. Perhaps youâll find something in the Ancient Land.â
âAncient Land?â Jiang Hao sighed in his heart. He couldnât go to the Ancient Lands.
The people who went in basically disappeared.
It was like a deep sea, and no one who went down could ever come up.
It was not worth it to take the risk for the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl.
Perhaps it was too early for him. When he was strong enough, he might be able to take that risk.
By that time, the Great Era War would have already begun, and the Dragon Clan might appear again.
If that happened, he would not have to search for the Ancient Land.
âDo I have to go through the baptism of light to go to the Ancient Land?â Jiang Hao asked.
If that was the case, then Xiao Li might have come out from there.
The old man shook his head. âIâve never been there, so I donât know.â
âIs it possible that there are other dragons outside?â Jiang Hao asked again.
âItâs possible.â The old man looked at Jiang Hao. âOther than some dragons that are up to something, young dragons might be around. Not everyone could leave when the Dragon Clan disappeared. Some dragons were still waiting to be hatched. Itâs very rare, but itâs possible.â
Jiang Hao didnât say anything. The old man had been trying from the beginning to find out about the dragon that was with him.
If he did not know about the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl, there was no reason for him to know about Xiao Li.
He had to be careful.
After a while, the old man stopped in front of a door. âWeâre here. This is where that thing is. You can go in and take a look. When you walk out of that door, youâll be in the alchemy room.â
âSenior, youâre not coming along?â Jiang Hao was surprised. He looked at the old man.
âIâm just a guide. Now that my mission is over, I have to leave,â said the old man.
âLeave?â Jiang Hao lowered his head. He felt that he might not see this person again.
âYes⌠leave.â The old man sighed.
Jiang Hao sighed inwardly.
The old man shook his head.
He had nothing else to ask about.
Time could erase everything, and so much time had already passed.
Everything was different. Nothing mattered.In the South, at Thunder Fire Peak of the Heavenly Note Sect, Ming Yi frowned as beads of sweat formed on her forehead.
She looked like she was in pain.
At that moment, she was trying hard to open her eyes.
However, there was a force suppressing her. It made it difficult for her to breathe properly.
Suddenly, the magic treasure on her body flashed.
Only then did her eyes fly open.
The suffocation she had felt frightened her. She breathed raggedly.
âIâm running out of time. How can I stop him? The people from the Heavenly Saint Sect might already be nearby. This wonât do. I have to think of another way!â
After hesitating for a while, she decided to look for Miao Tinglian.
