Chapter 391: Chapter 218: The Power from Jiang’s Harem_3

So often, it was used specifically to suppress forbidden lands.

Shangguan Yunjin was excited.

Losing the Azure Dragon had disappointed him, but capturing this Ink Dragon and controlling it with the Zodiac Map would achieve the same effect.

Thinking this, Shangguan Yunjin immediately said to the crowd:

"This is an Ink Dragon, its demonic power is extremely strong. If you want to leave here alive, only my Zodiac Map can subdue it. It’s impossible for me alone, please lend me your strength!"

Shangguan Yunjin flicked his wrist lightly, and the scroll turned into a brilliant ray of light, shooting straight into the sky.

The scroll suddenly unfolded in mid-air, bursting forth with myriad rays of light, illuminating the surroundings and even overshadowing the giant body of the demon dragon.

As the scroll unfolded, a vast and majestic aura permeated the area.

Simultaneously, Shangguan Yunjin’s hands swiftly formed complex, mystical hand seals, with faint luminescence flowing from his fingertips.

"The monk will assist you!"

Yuantong understood that the other party was telling the truth and, without any hesitation, gathered his internal power and pressed it onto Shangguan Yunjin.

Others hurriedly mobilized their power.

In an instant, with a tremendous boost from their collected power, the Zodiac Map shone even more brilliantly.

The Ink Dragon was tightly bound by an unseen yet powerful force, as if dragged by an invisible chain, involuntarily inching closer to the glowing Zodiac Map.

It glared with wide eyes, malevolence surging underneath its scales.

Every flick of its tail and flap of its wings stirred up violent winds and massive waves, attempting to break free from the mysterious restraints, but to no avail.

We’re almost there!

Feeling the Ink Dragon getting weaker, Shangguan Yunjin was delighted.

His face pale, sweat the size of soybeans formed on his forehead, and blood seeped out from all his orifices.

This capture had caused significant damage.

After all, subduing such a powerful demon required all his strength.

Just as he was about to deploy the final technique to capture the Ink Dragon, his eyes glanced past Jiang Shouzhong, and suddenly he hesitated. After a brief internal struggle, Shangguan Yunjin’s eyes shadowed over.

Shangguan Yunjin’s little finger touched his thumb, surreptitiously forming a secret technique.

"Seal!"

With Shangguan Yunjin’s fierce shout, the Ink Dragon was forcibly pulled into the scroll.

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, in the next instant, Shangguan Yunjin suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The scroll, as if beyond his control, drawn by the residual power of the Ink Dragon, struck Jiang Shouzhong without warning.

"Jiang Mo, be careful!"

Ran Qingchen’s face changed drastically, and she hurriedly dashed forward.

The scroll, entwined with dark demonic energy, like an uncontrolled raging wave, blasted everyone aside and struck towards Jiang Shouzhong.

The tremendous impact sent both into the tumultuous Black Sea, causing thousands of waves to rise.

"Jiang Mo!"

Ran Qingchen’s face turned ashen.

Shangguan Yunjin, pale, slightly furrowed his brow, somewhat surprised that the Zodiac Map hadn’t returned but had entered the water with the other.

But he wasn’t panicked at all.

Because of a special secret technique that existed, even if the Zodiac Map was hundreds of feet away, he could still find it.

Seeing Ran Qingchen about to dive into the water to save someone, Shangguan Yunjin couldn’t help but angrily say, "Ran Qingchen, why do you care so much about him!?"

Ran Qingchen looked at him as if he were a fool.

I’m his wife, if I don’t care about him, should I care about you?

...

The submerged Jiang Shouzhong didn’t sustain any injuries.

The sensation of sinking into the water was very similar to the illusions he had encountered during his meditative practices inside the eggshell; even breathing was effortless.

He grasped the Zodiac Map firmly in his hand.

At the moment the map struck him, he quickly took out the Zodiac Dharma Seal, causing the Zodiac Map to directly betray its master.

"Didn’t see this coming, finally got it."

Jiang Shouzhong’s mouth began to twist.

And not only had he obtained the Zodiac Map, but also the Ink Dragon that Shangguan Yunjin had gone to great lengths to capture.

What a steal, what a steal.

Jiang Shouzhong didn’t hesitate to put the Zodiac Map into the storage space within his cavities, then pretended to emerge from the water in a very disheveled state.

As Ran Qingchen reached the surface and saw Jiang Shouzhong appear, her face lit up, and she quickly pulled him to shore.

"Nanshuang, are you alright?"

Li Nanshuang hurriedly ran over to check on him with concern.

Seeing that Jiang Shouzhong was unharmed, Shangguan Yunjin was surprised, as that collision should have killed or severely injured him.

But immediately afterward, Shangguan Yunjin’s expression darkened.

Where is the Zodiac Map!?

He didn’t see the Zodiac Map on Jiang Shouzhong, nor could he sense it in the water.

Shangguan Yunjin suddenly panicked.

He quickly deployed the secret technique, carefully sensing for the Zodiac Map, but to no avail. Overcome with rage, he stormed over to Jiang Shouzhong and demanded, "Where is my Zodiac Map!?"

"What Zodiac Map?" Jiang Shouzhong appeared utterly clueless.

Shangguan Yunjin’s eyes practically shot fire as he shouted, "Where did my Zodiac Map go!?"

Jiang Shouzhong remained innocent-faced, "I don’t know, I didn’t see it when I fell into the water..."

"Shangguan Yunjin!"

Ran Qingchen looked very unsatisfied and coldly said, "Your Zodiac Map isn’t on Jiang Mo, why are you questioning him? Could it be that he stole your Zodiac Map? He was nearly killed by your Zodiac Map just now!"

Ran Qingchen couldn’t be sure if the recent mishap was intentional by Shangguan Yunjin, seeing how severely injured he was.

But this accusatory attitude really annoyed her.

The others around also felt discontent, thinking Shangguan Yunjin had lost his composure completely, nothing like the refined and gentle image he usually projected.

At this moment, Shangguan Yunjin was nearly mad, hardly caring about his image anymore.

He kept casting the secret technique, yet he could never sense where the Zodiac Map was.

However, he also knew the likelihood of Jiang Shouzhong stealing the Zodiac Map was virtually none; after all, where could such a large map be hidden?
