Chapter 236: The Sleeping Demon Dragon

He had already given Ning Rongrong a map.

With it, she could perfectly avoid all the places where the demon dragon was likely to appear.

How could she possibly be in danger?

This was simply worrying too much.

"Fine. Even if your daughter isn’t in danger, I still need to go over there and take a look myself. Give me the map."

This surprised Ning Huasang.

"Dai Mubai, why are you so determined to go? As far as I remember, you’ve never cared about this matter. Even when it comes to my daughter I wouldn’t say you care that much about her. Could it be that there’s someone inside whom you’re worried about?"

Dai Mubai remained calm.

Even though Ning Huasang had guessed correctly, there was not the slightest trace of panic on his face.

"I am the Vice Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda. Give me the map. As for everything else, you don’t need to concern yourself with it."

"Tell me what exactly happened. Otherwise, I won’t give it to you."

The two sides seemed to fall into a stalemate.

Suddenly, Dai Mubai let out a faint laugh. "Fine. If you won’t give it to me, then forget it. But if something really happens to that person here, then neither this Spirit Pagoda nor you will be able to keep what you have."

Ning Huasang remained completely unruffled, showing no fear whatsoever.

"Do you think I was scared into growing up? Me, Ning Huasang? Who have I ever feared?"

Dai Mubai looked at him with open disdain. "What about the Lingguang Sect? Are you afraid of them?"

Ning Huasang’s expression stiffened. "Among the people inside right now, the only disciple from the Lingguang Sect is Ye Shiyuan. Even if Ye Shiyuan can’t defeat the demon dragon, returning alive shouldn’t be a problem."

"It’s not Ye Shiyuan."

Dai Mubai snapped angrily.

At this moment, he was truly beginning to lose his patience.

"If it’s not Ye Shiyuan, then which other disciple of the Lingguang Sect could possibly make you this worried, Dai Mubai?"

"Ning Huasang, you’d better tell me now. Otherwise, when it’s too late, don’t blame me. If my Master personally comes here to demand someone from you and you can’t hand that person over, then even I won’t be able to save you."

Ning Huasang narrowed his eyes when he heard those words.

Of course he knew Dai Mubai’s background.

He knew exactly who Dai Mubai’s Master was.

Even after being expelled, Dai Mubai still held the utmost respect for his Master in his heart.

Not only Dai Mubai, but throughout the entire cultivation world, there were almost no people who did not respect Senior Yi Xing.

But what kind of person could possibly cause Senior Yi Xing himself to come looking for him?

"You’d better not be lying to me."

"Do you think I would joke about something like this? You know what kind of person my Master used to be. The Lingguang Sect was merely something he founded on a whim. He has spent many years cultivating his heart and temper, but perhaps you’ve forgotten that he once destroyed countless sects all by himself. Do you want to become the next one?"

Of course Ning Huasang did not want that.

He pressed his lips together, then took out a sheet of paper and tossed it to Dai Mubai.

"Here. When you rescue that person, you’d better let me see them. I want to know whether it’s really as serious as you claim."

"Ning Huasang, I have never exaggerated."

After saying that, Dai Mubai turned around and left.

If what Bai He had told him was true...

No, it was probably true.

Because Dai Mubai knew better than anyone just how much his Master doted on that youngest disciple.

Dai Mubai would never forget the smile on Yi Xing’s face.

It was a smile that he had never seen during the twenty or thirty years he had spent as his disciple.

...

After walking for a long time, night gradually fell.

Bai He had already fallen asleep while lying on Ye Shiyuan’s back.

Only after Mo Zhu called out to him did Bai He finally wake up.

"Host, the system has detected danger ahead."

The system’s detection would never be wrong.

Bai He glanced forward.

They had not encountered any danger for an entire hour, so everyone had naturally become somewhat careless.

"Master, what’s wrong?"

Bai He reached out and touched Ye Shiyuan’s ear.

Ye Shiyuan’s footsteps paused slightly as he asked the question.

"Shiyuan, I can sense danger ahead. Put me down first."

"Mm."

Ye Shiyuan lowered Bai He to the ground.

He then instructed Xu Feng to go ahead and take a look.

Xu Feng’s speed was extremely fast.

He vanished from everyone’s sight in an instant and returned just as quickly

His expression looked somewhat unusual.

As he patting his chest, he looked as though he was still shaken by what he had seen.

"I saw it. Less than two miles ahead, there’s a giant dragon sleeping."

That had to be the demon dragon.

Everyone immediately became alert.

Ye Shiyuan said, "I’ll have to trouble everyone to come with me and set up the formation I taught you. The demon dragon is currently resting, so we must be especially careful and make sure not to wake it."

"Alright."

Zhang Ping led the six people under him, while Ye Shiyuan and Xu Feng headed off as well.

Bai He stood where he was and watched for a moment before immediately following after them.

"Host, why didn’t you go with the protagonist just now?"

"As if Ye Shiyuan would actually let me go with them."

The only thing he could do was quietly follow behind.

Bai He hid behind a large tree and parted the dense leaves in front of him.

To his surprise, directly before him was the demon dragon’s tail.

Looking farther ahead...

His eyes widened.

The creature’s size was almost impossible to comprehend.

He had never imagined that such an enormous living being could exist in this world.
