Chapter 378: Chapter 215: Qu Hongling: I am the Matchmaker (2 in 1)_3

It was obvious that the Crown Prince and his entourage had long been planning and meticulously preparing for the capture of the dragon demon.

After a fierce battle, seizing the right moment, they spread out a black net made by secret methods, successfully capturing the dragon demon.

However, nearly half of the entourage also perished.

This black net seemed to possess strange magic; although the dragon demon initially struggled violently, stirring up gusts of wind and roaring in an attempt to break free, as time passed, its strength appeared to be siphoned away bit by bit.

Eventually, it could only hang its head in weakness, sinking into an eerie calm.

Zhou Yin walked up to the dragon demon and said in a low chuckle, "You beast, you really know how to make a fuss, acting so naughty even when you meet your master."

He placed his hand on the head of the dragon demon.

A strange pattern then emerged in his palm.

The dragon demon gradually shrank, turning into a streak of light that dove into Zhou Yin’s palm.

The Dragon Subduing Pattern!

When he first obtained the dragon egg, he had actually marked it with a pattern symbol.

Once the dragon demon hatched successfully, the Dragon Subduing Pattern would take effect, making him the master of the dragon demon, unless one possessed the dragon’s essence.

This was also why the Crown Prince, upon seeing people like Shangguan Yunjin and others, wasn’t too concerned.

It was his egg to begin with, others had no right to interfere.

As for the dragon’s essence.

There were only two dragon essences in the world, both within the Imperial Palace.

It was unlikely that the Emperor would give the dragon essence to someone else, unless he was out of his mind.

Yet what really irked Zhou Yin was, even though I had become your master, you beast, you still refused to submit willingly, and were so irritable it was outrageous, always confronting me fiercely upon meeting.

Fortunately, he had made the entourage bring the Sky Net just in case.

Of course, dragons are noble creatures with their own temperament; it’s normal to be fiery, as no dragon would willingly lower itself to curry favor with humans.

"Ms. Yue, let’s go," Zhou Yin signaled for his entourage to pack up the Sky Net.

Now that he had successfully obtained the Azure Dragon, he could go to the Demon Clan and subdue those hidden dragon demons.

When the time came to unify the Demon Clan, he would have more bargaining chips.

Unlike the Emperor’s absolute hatred for demons, as the Crown Prince, he held an open attitude toward them and did not intend to eradicate them completely. But the one condition was that as the future Emperor, the Demon Clan must submit to him.

Whoosh!

The air rippled, and a woman in black appeared.

She looked in the direction of Jiang Shouzhong and the others and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, there are three people hiding over there, what should we do with them?"

Zhou Yin looked over and smiled slightly, waving his hand.

Realizing his identity was exposed, Jiang Shouzhong had no choice but to reveal himself, stepping forward to salute, "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

The man felt a sense of relief in his heart.

Just now he was considering whether to kill this new Crown Prince to prevent future trouble, but after seeing the woman in black, he was glad for his sanity.

This woman’s cultivation was too strong; she reminded him of Li Guanshi.

"So it’s Jiang Mo," Zhou Yin cast his glance over Li Nanshuang and Leng Jing, smiling as he spoke, "It seems you too were teleported here. Now that the Teleportation Array is destroyed, it will be hard to return. Would you like me to help you?"

Jiang Shouzhong waved his hand, "No need, we are still looking for someone."

"Alright, I wish you all the best," Zhou Yin did not insist.

Although he personally admired Jiang Shouzhong, there was no desperate need to recruit him; Dazhou was not short of talents.

If someone wished to die, he couldn’t stop them.

The woman referred to as "Ms. Yue" waved her hand gently; without any visible action from her, several flags surrounded the area in a circle.

Soon, the Crown Prince and the others vanished from sight.

"What an impressive teleportation array," Leng Jing clicked her tongue, "This must be the rumored Tri-Curve Teleportation Array. As long as the formation platforms are built in a certain place, one can teleport there at any time."

Jiang Shouzhong laughed, "How else do you think he is the Crown Prince? He’s much stronger than the previous good-for-nothing Crown Prince."

"Eh?"

Li Nanshuang suddenly noticed something and leaned close to the man’s back.

"What’s wrong? Possessed by a ghost?"

Jiang Shouzhong was startled and quickly asked. It was quite normal to encounter some ghost or monster in this strange place.

Li Nanshuang pulled open the man’s inner shirt, and saw a lifelike golden dragon pattern twisting and coiling on his back!

It was majestic and fierce, as if capable of piercing through clouds and shattering stones.

This was a true dragon!

After searching meticulously for over an hour, Qu Hongling and Ran Qingchen finally found a slightly raised button beneath the throne.

Upon pressing it, a narrow passageway appeared behind the throne.

"I knew it; how could there be no way out," Qu Hongling let out a sigh of relief, gave Ran Qingchen a pat on the shoulder, and laughed, "Danai, don’t be in a hurry to kill me after we get out, you might still need my help."

Ran Qingchen knew it was a warning.

With the current power dynamic, Ran Qingchen was slightly stronger. If it came to a sneak attack, Qu Hongling might not be able to avoid it.

So she hoped that Qu Hongling would go first.

Ran Qingchen couldn’t be bothered with formalities and strode into the passageway first.

Seeing this, Qu Hongling smirked and followed, but kept muttering, "Danai, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but we are from different camps after all. You saved me earlier because you feared you couldn’t get out alone. Once we’re safe, there’s no guarantee..."

Click!

When the two reached halfway down the passageway, a faint clicking sound echoed.

Immediately, a surge of quicksand filled the narrow passageway.

Not good, a trap!

Both women’s faces changed, and they quickly tried to turn back, only to see the entrance stone door closing tightly.

At the same time, tiny holes appeared on the walls, emitting streams of high-pressure air, accelerating the movement of the sand, and rapidly forming a quicksand trap that devoured everything.
