Chapter 138: Chapter 8: Entering Forbidden Territory
Ye Lingyue had only caught a fleeting glimpse of the flying device earlier and was unaware of its power.
This little golden sword was only the size of a golden hairpin, about as long as a finger. On the handle were the words "Golden Profound Sword." Its twin blades were thin as cicada wings, incredibly sharp.
Despite its small size, this little golden sword was a Xuan-grade weapon, with extraordinary power.
Nangong Qinglin, the daughter of General Jin Jian, whose golden sword technique was renowned within the Daxia Army.
This golden sword, given by General Jin Jian to his daughter to protect her life, had some of the General’s Great Primordial Pill power fused into it. If unleashed, it could instantly kill any martial artist below the Elixir Realm.
Nangong Qinglin didn’t believe that the new female alchemist, a novice with only Third-rank cultivation who had just arrived from the countryside in Xia Capital, would have any chance of surviving under the Golden Profound Sword.
Seeing that Nangong Qinglin was ready to use the family heirloom, the Golden Profound Sword, to kill the new female alchemist, those female alchemists who previously insulted people all changed their expressions.
"Qinglin, let’s forget it, this could lead to someone’s death," a female alchemist advised, worried the situation could spiral out of control.
Previously, they were just playing and only caused injuries or disabilities. With some money, these could be settled privately, but if a life was taken, and if the Alchemist Association found out, even their families could be involved.
"What’s there to be afraid of? It’s just a bumpkin, a cheap life, how much could it be worth? Jin Jian General Mansion can afford the compensation," Nangong Qinglin sneered. The Golden Profound Sword in her hand gave off a buzzing sound as it broke through the air, leaving behind a golden trail.
Ye Lingyue only heard a whistling noise from behind; a chill climbed up her spine, and a sense of impending danger emerged.
Turning her head, she saw a golden sword flashing towards her.
Ye Lingyue’s eyes narrowed; Nangong Qinglin really intended to kill her. Given this, why should she keep yielding time and again? Ye Lingyue flicked her sleeve, ready to throw the Siamese Ghost Smoke hidden within.
Just as Ye Lingyue was about to use the Ghost Smoke, she heard a noise behind her.
Turning around, her eyelids twitched sharply.
A few inches away, a triangular head emerged.
The head, shaped like a python, turned out to be a Head Horned Flood Dragon, nearly five meters long.
Its body was covered with brownish-yellow hard scales. Each scale was crescent-shaped, densely packed, making it nearly impossible for swords to penetrate. On the Head Horned Flood Dragon’s head protruded sharp, conical spines.
At this moment, Ye Lingyue had climbed between the thirteenth and fourteenth floors of the Alchemist Tower. The Head Horned Flood Dragon had clearly crawled out from one of these floors, its half-meter-thick body tightly coiled around a part of the Alchemist Tower.
In its eyes flashed a human-like spiritual intelligence, its bone-chilling green pupils fixated on the incoming golden sword and the gecko-like Ye Lingyue.
"What fly dares to cause a racket in my territory?" The Head Horned Flood Dragon spoke in human tongue, buzzing in Ye Lingyue’s ears.
A Horned Flood Dragon that could speak human language, could it be a Divine Beast?
Ye Lingyue shivered, not moving at all.
Obviously, the dispute between Ye Lingyue and Nangong Qinglin had disturbed this Head Horned Flood Dragon.
The Horned Flood Dragon’s long tail swept across, coiling around Ye Lingyue, and as it swallowed the golden sword, it rapidly moved towards a window on the fourteenth floor.
Seeing the Horned Flood Dragon appear like a whirlwind and then disappear in an instant, under the Alchemist Tower, Nangong Qinglin and several female alchemists all paled with fear.
"It’s the fourteenth floor... It’s over, I almost forgot, that’s Master Long Yu’s territory." Nangong Qinglin’s Golden Profound Sword was swallowed, and it really hurt.
It was said that Master Long Yu had a Horned Flood Dragon under his command, whose strength was comparable to that of a Sixth to Seventh Rank Peak Spiritual Beast.
Master Long Yu is one of the few highest-ranking alchemists in the Xia Capital Alchemist Tower. He is a Nine Rank Alchemist, but he’s known for his peculiar temper and unpredictable moods. If someone rashly intrudes into his territory, even if the president of the Alchemist Association intervenes, Master Long Yu wouldn’t give any face.
"Qing Lin, I think we should give up, that country female alchemist was caught by Master Long Yu. Even if she doesn’t die, her fate won’t be any better. I’ve heard that Master Long Yu has recently been shut away doing alchemy, and anyone who disturbs him is in for a tough time," several female alchemists comforted Nangong Qinglin.
"Hmph, the next time I run into you, it will be your time to die," Nangong Qinglin fiercely spat, feeling aggrieved by the loss she experienced in the Alchemist Tower.
For the sake of an insignificant newcomer, she lost both the Double-Winged Wolf and the Golden Profound Sword; Nangong Qinglin couldn’t swallow this insult.
Finally, Nangong Qinglin and a few female alchemists went up to the Alchemist Tower to continue their cultivation for the day.
Ye Lingyue was entangled by the mysterious Horned Flood Dragon, her whole body felt as though it was bound by iron chains, and she couldn’t break free no matter how hard she struggled.
Seeing herself being dragged into the fourteenth floor of the Alchemist Tower by the Three-horned Dragon, Ye Lingyue only felt darkness before her eyes.
The fourteenth floor of the Alchemist Tower was very dim, and it took her eyes a while to adjust to the light.
This level was gloomy, with the entire floor possessing only one opening, the very spot where Ye Lingyue was dragged in by the Horned Flood Dragon.
Inside, a dim oil lamp was lit, with its oil almost dry.
Dust was everywhere, clearly, this place hadn’t been cleaned for a long time; Ye Lingyue couldn’t even sense any human presence.
After bringing Ye Lingyue to this floor, the Horned Flood Dragon lazily coiled up in a corner.
Once Ye Lingyue’s eyes adjusted to the surrounding light, she noticed a cauldron in the middle of the floor, emanating a fragrance of elixir.
While Ye Lingyue was observing her surroundings, she heard a voice like one that would emit from a tomb.
"Little Jiao, I told you to eat those who obstructed us, why did you bring someone back?"
There was actually someone in the room?
Ye Lingyue was astonished.
But before she could pinpoint the source of the voice, the previously lazy Horned Flood Dragon suddenly opened its wide mouth and lunged at Ye Lingyue, appearing to swallow her.
At the critical moment, the Siamese Ghost Smoke surged from the sleeve of Ye Lingyue’s robe, the yellow smoke immediately obscuring the eyes of the Horned Flood Dragon.
The Horned Flood Dragon let out a roar, shaking its head and tail trying to dodge the cloud of yellow smoke.
Hearing the cloud of yellow smoke, a light exclamation came from an unknown corner.
Taking advantage of the Horned Flood Dragon’s confusion, Ye Lingyue grabbed the Dragon Saliva Needle and stabbed towards the acupoint of the Horned Flood Dragon.
