Chapter 505: Chapter 506: The Odd Man at the Bottom of the Lake

Boom!

Ye Wudao was struck with a ferocious blow, his head went blank instantly, and his body was directly slapped into the icy lake by the Jiaolong’s sharp claws.

"Master!" the bald eagle cried out in despair, with tears in its eyes.

"That poor kid!"

"Indeed, surviving a claw from that evil Jiaolong, he’s probably reduced to bones now!" many Martial Artists said with palpitations.

In contrast, the evil Jiaolong extended a claw, upon which the Phoenix Glazed Pearl was clearly visible.

"Elder of the royal family, this is the Spiritual Artifact you wanted, isn’t it?" the evil Jiaolong said with an amused expression.

"Give it to me!" the royal family elder’s eyes gleamed with greed.

"First, promise to give me the blood essence of thirty thousand Martial Artists!" the evil Jiaolong demanded.

The elder of the royal family took out a red jar from his body and tossed it to the evil Jiaolong, saying indifferently, "This contains the blood essence of thirty thousand Martial Artists!"

The evil Jiaolong caught it with its claw, confirmed it was correct, and then directly threw it to the elder of the royal family.

The elder of the royal family caught the Phoenix Glazed Pearl with extreme excitement and exclaimed, "Pleasure doing business!"

...

The scene shifts.

Inside a cave.

Su Yueli, who had been undergoing the phoenix’s rebirth, had completed her seventh rebirth. Just then, her heart suddenly trembled, and a stream of fresh blood spilled from her mouth, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion; "What’s happening, why is the eighth rebirth not progressing smoothly, my mind has been restless."

The Corpse Puppet King said woodenly beside her, "It’s the master, something’s happened!"

What?!

Su Yueli trembled, wanting to leave, "I’m going to help him!"

"The master ordered me to protect you. Until you succeed in your rebirth, I will not let you leave! Moreover, if you leave now, all will be for naught!" the Corpse Puppet King spoke out.

Su Yueli’s beautiful eyes teared up, she held back her sorrow and murmured, "Wait, wait for me..."

The icy lake.

At the unfathomable bottom of the lake, darkness reigned.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Wudao slowly opened his eyes.

"I, I’m not dead?" Ye Wudao couldn’t believe it, noticing his body was severely wounded.

He quickly recalled the event in his mind, the power of the evil Jiaolong’s claw was terrifying, he surely had no chance of survival.

What on earth happened?

Just then, an ancient voice reached him, "Kid, you’re awake?"

Who?

Hearing this eerie voice, Ye Wudao couldn’t help but look up.

In the depths of the lake, a golden steel cage appeared, with a badly injured strong man imprisoned inside, dishevelled and dressed in rags, looking as wretched as a beggar!

Seeing this, Ye Wudao said in disbelief, "Holy shit, what are you?"

"Watch your tongue! I’m human!" the dishevelled strong man scolded, "I saved you, and you’re not even grateful?"

What?

Ye Wudao was shocked, "You saved me?"

"Nonsense! If it weren’t for me, do you think you could survive the clutches of that evil Jiaolong?" the dishevelled strong man said with a look of amusement.

Boom!

Struck like lightning, Ye Wudao immediately asked, "Do you know that fierce flood dragon?"

"Heh, consider us half-neighbors! But it usually doesn’t dare to come near me, fearing that I might go crazy and gobble it up in one bite!" the disheveled middle-aged man said self-deprecatingly.

"Gulp!" Ye Wudao swallowed, wondering who exactly this man imprisoned at the bottom of the lake was to command such fear from the evil Jiao.

Ye Wudao bowed deeply to the disheveled man; "I thank you, senior, for saving my life!"

"No need for thanks. I’ve just been trapped here too long, too lonely. Finally, an interesting kid comes along; I saved you just so you could keep me company and chat." The disheveled man said casually.

"Chat, of course! Hehe, senior, I love to talk. What would you like to chat about? State affairs, or perhaps tales from the marketplace? Beautiful women work too!" Ye Wudao laughed.

"Then just go ahead and tell a few," the big man laughed.

Before long, Ye Wudao, with his gift of the gab, shared incidents from the outside world with the mysterious man trapped at the lake’s bottom.

"Hahaha, intriguing! The outside world is indeed full of interesting things!" the disheveled man guffawed; "Tell me more!"

Ye Wudao told a few more fascinating stories.

"Hahaha, keep talking, keep talking!" the disheveled man was overjoyed.

Helplessly, Ye Wudao continued.

Thus, a day later.

Ye Wudao, parched and out of breath, said; "Senior, I’ve told all the fun stories I know. I have things to do, can we chat another time?"

The middle-aged man’s gaze suddenly turned icy; "You want to leave?"

"Senior, I’ve been talking to you for an entire day!"

"Heh, a day? I said I want you to stay and accompany me for a lifetime!" the disheveled middle-aged man sneered coldly.

What!?

Keep you company for a lifetime!

Ye Wudao quickly shook his head; "Eh, senior, I’m sorry but that’s beyond my capacity! My friends are waiting for me outside; I can’t stay here with you!"

"You don’t have the luxury to refuse!" the disheveled middle-aged man declared authoritatively, releasing a powerful force that instantly suppressed Ye Wudao.

Ye Wudao’s face darkened.

He had figured it out!

Although this man had saved him, he had no intention of letting him go!

"Senior, I am grateful that you saved me! I can visit you another time, but not letting me go, isn’t that a bit much?" Ye Wudao said, frowning.

"Young man, do you even know who I am, talking to me like that?" The disheveled middle-aged man grew angry, and the entire icy lake began to tremble.

"Hmph, I don’t believe you can stop me from leaving!" Ye Wudao said, turning to leave.

"Water Binding!" the disheveled middle-aged man shouted lowly, and a stream of water turned into a rope, binding Ye Wudao tightly.

Ye Wudao struggled furiously but couldn’t break free.

"Heh, kid, don’t bother struggling! Not you, nor even a half-step pinnacle Martial King could break free!" The elder said with a confident smile.

"No one can trap me!" Ye Wudao roared, wielding the Beiwang Blade and chopping with all his might.

Bang!

The Water Binding was broken open forcefully.

"The Beiwang Blade!" The disheveled middle-aged man’s pupils suddenly constricted; he said in shock, "You, how do you have the Beiwang Blade? Who was Beiwang to you?"
