Chapter 412: Secret

Bai He glared at Xu Feng unhappily. "You have gotten quite bold. Once we get out, just wait and see how I discipline you."

"Once we get out, Master can discipline me however you want."

In any case, no matter what Bai He said, Xu Feng would not let go.

Bai He was speechless. Ye Shiyuan’s face was becoming increasingly pale. This technique of drawing out a talisman and searching for the location of the seal was extremely troublesome to use.

Not only did it require blood as a guide, but the process could not be interrupted once it began. Otherwise, the user could be in danger of losing his life.

If he failed to find the location before his spiritual power was exhausted, then he would likewise be unable to survive. But Ye Shiyuan did not have time to waste.

That was why he had resorted to this desperate method. He absolutely would not die. He would definitely lead everyone out of this place.

Ye Shiyuan walked for a very, very long distance before finally stopping. Strange patterns appeared faintly in the air, and they seemed to vaguely form the shape of a dragon.

"Master, could that be the Azure Dragon?"

Xu Feng asked curiously. "Master, is that the Azure Dragon?"

Asked him? It was so far away that he could not see clearly either. Besides, Bai He did not even know what the Azure Dragon’s true form actually looked like.

However, in the blink of an eye, Bai He flew out with his sword.

Bai He struck directly with his palm and scattered those illusions. Just as he had guessed, the light in Ye Shiyuan’s eyes had disappeared. Just moments ago, he had still been conscious.

But now... this was not the Azure Dragon at all. It was the resentment left behind by those ferocious beasts from that year. It was meant to confuse Ye Shiyuan, undo the seal, and release all of those things.

A powerful force entered his mind. In the next moment, it felt as though it were trying to completely control him.

"Host, endure it for a moment. I will immediately remove the control for you."

With Mo Zhu’s help, the color slowly returned to Bai He’s face, and light immediately appeared in his eyes. But just because Bai He had recovered did not mean Ye Shiyuan had recovered as well.

"Host, you can only rely on yourself when it comes to Ye Shiyuan. There is nothing I can do to help."

Bai He was truly speechless. He reached out and gently patted Ye Shiyuan’s cheek, but there was still no reaction. He looked like a puppet.

"Shiyuan, wake up quickly." There was still no reaction.

Of course. Would it not be too simple if he could just wake up by being called like this?

Bai He paused for a moment before continuing, "Shiyuan, last night, I thought about so many, many things. If we get out of here, what should we do? Shiyuan, shall we return to the Lingguang Sect? I know Senior Brother and the others will not agree, but it does not matter. I am here."

A faint smile appeared on Bai He’s face. Ye Shiyuan should have heard these words, right?

"Will you go and ask for my hand in marriage? Shall we get married?" He had originally thought that his question would not receive any response from Ye Shiyuan.

Just as he was racking his brain, wondering whether he should say something else, Ye Shiyuan’s voice had already reached his ears.

"Yes."

It was a very simple word. Bai He looked at him in surprise.

His expression was gentle. "I heard you, so yes."

The moment he sensed Bai He approaching, he had already begun struggling desperately to break free from the control. What he was even more worried about was whether Bai He would also be controlled.

When he saw that Bai He was safe and sound, he still could not completely relax, because although Bai He had not been controlled, what if his controlled self accidentally hurt him?

As he struggled desperately to resist, Ye Shiyuan heard every word Bai He said.

The corners of his lips curved into a faint smile. Did these words mean that Bai He was already willing to marry him?

A light seemed to shine in Bai He’s eyes.

"Do not say these things anymore. We can talk about them after we get out."

Bai He’s cheeks were flushed red, and he looked somewhat embarrassed. Thinking back on the things he had just said, he almost sounded as though he were desperately eager to get married. His expression returned to calm as he said, "Shiyuan, do not let them deceive you. They are using us to get out. Once they are released, the consequences will be unimaginable. So, all we need to do is find the Azure Dragon’s scales."

Ye Shiyuan nodded slightly. "Alright. Let us go over and take a look first."

He held Bai He’s hand and walked over. This time, even if something else tried to control Ye Shiyuan again, it would be useless.

There was naturally no need to worry about Bai He. Mo Zhu could help him resolve this problem.

Ye Shiyuan used his own dragon scale and began drawing out the aura of the Azure Dragon. Perhaps this way, they could find the Azure Dragon.

Bai He stayed right beside him and did not leave. Following Mo Zhu’s reminder, he was told that a powerful force was approaching.

Bai He’s expression immediately became alert. He tightened his grip around the sword in his palm and looked around.

After sensing something in one particular direction, Bai He immediately flew into the air and headed toward that direction. A blast of ice shot out from his palm, blocking that person’s path.

"Stop."

Bai He could tell that he was from the Dragon Clan. He was actually a member of the Dragon Clan.

"This matter has nothing to do with you. I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business." The man turned around and glared fiercely at Bai He.
