Chapter 124: Chapter 122 Qi is Scratching It

"I remember now," Master Fang exclaimed excitedly, "In Hai City, there was a mysterious place in history called the Dragon-locking Well. It wasn’t actually locking dragons, but a Jiao that failed to transform into a dragon. Hai State Xuan Sect had to guard the Dragon-locking Well for generations. You could say the Dragon-locking Well gave rise to the Xuan Sect families in Hai City."

Chang Daoist continued, "Later, with the changes in dynasties and historical upheavals, the Xuan Sect families gradually declined. The Dragon-locking Well was left unguarded, and the locked Jiao escaped amidst the chaos. It wasn’t until peace was restored and prosperity returned that Hai State Xuan Sect was rebuilt and revived. However, because the Jiao had vanished, the Dragon-locking Well was buried by later generations."

Yun Qiuce didn’t know when he appeared, but suddenly he slapped his forehead, "I get it, this Jiao is a descendant of the escaped Jiao Long, here to avenge its ancestors!"

The Xuan Sect members: ...

Everyone looked at him, their eyes reflecting complex emotions.

"Uncle, that’s the same Jiao that escaped," Yun Qi kindly reminded.

Yun Qiuce’s face was full of sincerity, "Why?"

No one answered. Everyone was staring at the Jiao rolling in the sky.

After a moment, Yun Qiuce slapped his forehead again, "Oh, Jiao do live longer than humans."

No wonder it possessed Du Bing, because its target was the Hai State Xuan Sect.

The Jiao rolled in the clouds, then swooped down, hovering closely in front of everyone.

Using the faint light through the mist, everyone could clearly see its appearance.

Except for the slightly smaller horns on its forehead, everything else was almost identical to a dragon.

The cold scales, sharp claws, scorching breath, and sturdy, majestic body, observing from such a close distance made one feel insignificant as a drop in the ocean.

The only difference from a dragon was that it was still entangled in dark iron chains, and every roll produced the sound of chains scraping against scales.

No wonder that after so many years, it still harbored a deep-seated hatred towards the Hai State Xuan Sect.

"These chains have bound me for 900 years. Although I’ve escaped, it’s like I am still imprisoned. Today I will sacrifice myself, flatten Hai City, and bury all Xuan Sect disciples with me," the Jiao’s voice boomed like rolling thunder, making human eardrums ache.

Yun Qiuce, shocked, covered his ears, and a small pinwheel appeared before his eyes. Previously still, it was now spinning furiously from the Jiao’s intense aura.

"Uncle, help me take care of the pinwheel. Don’t break it, Qi worked hard to make it."

Yun Qiuce received it, "Qi, are you confident?"

Yun Qi turned back, her gaze clear and looked at everyone.

At that moment, inexplicably, everyone saw a certain heroic farewell in Little Dumpling’s eyes, bringing forth a surge of sadness and indignation.

Master Fang and seasoned elders like Chang Daoist were just about to step forward.

Only for Yun Qi to calmly say, "It might delay everyone; we could miss dinner."

The Xuan Sect members’ feelings were complicated.

Master Fang asked worriedly, "Qi, is it just missing dinner?"

That’s a mad Jiao.

In the professional careers within the Hai State Xuan Sect, they never dared to imagine facing such a beast of this level.

"Ah!" Yun Qi slapped her forehead like remembering something, blinked her eyes sincerely and said, "I forgot elders can’t go hungry, Qi will handle it as quickly as possible, so everyone can go home for dinner."

Master Fang was embarrassed, "That’s not what I meant..."

Without letting him finish, Yun Qi suddenly snapped the red thread around her neck, and five Copper Coins buzzed into the air.

The Jiao sneered, "Tricks of a little insect!"

"You won’t know if they’re little tricks until you try!"

As soon as the words finished, the five Copper Coins flew out, striking the Jiao’s body with a powerful clang.

They were instantly bounced back.

The Jiao’s dark black scales reflected a cold metallic gleam, as if to mock its gigantic body rolling perpetually in front of Yun Qi, reminding her of her overestimation.

"I didn’t expect the Hai State Xuan Sect to decline so much that they send a child not yet weaned to deal with me," the Jiao said smugly, raising its head and flying up into the sky, passing through low clouds, casting a cold gaze at everyone below as if looking at a dish on the table.

Yun Qi stuck out her tongue, "Indeed, it didn’t work."

She reached out to retrieve the Copper Coins and put them back in her pocket.

The fellow Xuan Sect members began to worry, "Qi, you should come back. This creature was a Demon King level in ancient times, regular exorcism spells won’t work on her. Let us handle it. Even though we old folks may lack skill, we at least have dignity, and can’t let a child lead."

"Yes, children step back, leave the battlefield to us adults."

Yun Qi seemed not to hear and didn’t move.

The high-altitude Jiao dove again, and this time everyone noticed its neck turning red, as if nurturing a flame, immediately deploying their Magic Artifacts, forming mantras to fight.

However, Yun Qi calmly took out a stack of red paper people from her pocket. As the Jiao stirred up the wind that rolled past above, countless little paper men flew from her creamy palms, fluttering and covering the sky.

Fellow Xuan Sect members were stunned. Using little paper men against a body of steel?

Children indeed, born with talent, but lacking life’s hard knocks!

Yet, as soon as those red paper men touched the Jiao’s body, they came to life, clamping onto dark scales with hands and feet, twisting their bodies to drill inward.

The Jiao hadn’t noticed yet, perched high above Yun Qi, overlooking her, a black-red flame rising in its throat, about to be spewed.

"Wait!" Yun Qi raised her small palm to stop it, "Let’s negotiate. You’ve escaped for over 900 years, and suffered over 900 years, why not let me free you of the chains? From now on, you follow my lead. The merits I’ve accumulated from exorcisms can be used to absolve your evil deeds, offering you another chance to transcend the tribulations..."

With a boom, the black-red flame burst from the Jiao’s mouth, striking beside Yun Qi, burning like knives against her, wanting to scrape away the flesh.

"Nonsense, a brat like you dares command me? Too bold! Today, I fight to perish with Hai City!"

"Since this is how it is, don’t blame Qi for being rude!"

Little Milk Dumpling snorted coldly, waved her hand like issuing a silent command.

Instantly, all the paper men started swarming, and then—

The Jiao’s massive body halted, its golden eyes crossed, exploding with earth-shattering laughter—

"Hahaha... You little brat, hahahaha... What did you do... Stop it—hahahahahahahaha..."

The massive body wriggled and twisted endlessly, even crashing to the ground.

The earth trembled, dark clouds churned, like the end of the world had arrived.

Yet the shattering volume wasn’t the beast’s roar, but the uproarious laughter racing beyond its peak!

"Hahaha... You dare... Hahaha... Woo hoo woo hoo!"

Everyone stood aghast, watching the Jiao hopping and jumping, laughing till tears, shaking like in spasms.

The scene shifted too swiftly for everyone to digest.

"Qi, what did you..."

"No worries," Yun Qi turned, her eyes curved gently like a dainty crescent on the tree’s tip; her dimples brimming with sweet wine, her voice full of milky flavor, "Qi is just tickling it."
