Chapter 89: Bai He’s Arrival

What Ye Shiyuan wanted this time, however, was the Dragon Heart Protecting Scale.

Before long, the shrimp soldier who had gone to report returned.

Following closely behind him was an elderly man.

The old man was the eldest elder of the Dragon Clan.

His name was Ao Dulong.

"Greetings, Elder. I come from the Lingguang Sect. My name is Ye Shiyuan. I have come here this time in the hope of obtaining what I seek."

When the words "Lingguang Sect" were mentioned, Ao Dulong’s expression indeed changed slightly.

As he turned around and leaning on his cane, he said, "You, follow me."

"Thank you."

Ye Shiyuan silently followed behind him.

He did not know how long they walked, nor did he know where the person before him intended to take him.

When they finally stopped, Ye Shiyuan realized that he was already standing before an even more magnificent palace.

Above it were written Divine Dragon Hall.

"The Dragon Lord is inside. The thing you want, I cannot give it to you."

"You know what I want?" Ye Shiyuan asked in surprise.

Ao Dulong continued leaning on his cane.

"All Dragon Heart Protecting Scales are kept by the Dragon Lord. Even I, the eldest elder of the Dragon Clan, do not know where they are stored. If you want to obtain a Dragon Heart Protecting Scale, you must gain the Dragon Lord’s approval. As for me, this is as far as I can help you."

After saying that, Ao Dulong leaned on his cane and quietly left once again.

After watching Ao Dulong depart, Ye Shiyuan walked to the door.

Placing both hands against it, he pushed it open with force.

Seated high upon the throne was a man.

The man’s expression was solemn and imposing.

He sitting there in a lofty and commanding manner as he exuded an aura that made people feel an instinctive urge to bow down in reverence.

He is the current Dragon Lord of the Dragon Clan... the Dragon God, Ao Yanji.

As expected of the Dragon Clan’s ruler, the oppressive aura he emitted while sitting there was not inferior in the slightest to Dongfang Zhenzhi whom Ye Shiyuan had encountered in the Demon Cave.

Fortunately, Ye Shiyuan had already gone through the Demon Cave once.

Now, when facing Ao Yanji, he did not feel afraid at all.

In fact, his expression was so calm that it was almost frightening.

"Who are you?"

"I am Ye Shiyuan. I heard that anyone who comes to the Dragon Palace may obtain one thing they desire."

"The Dragon Heart Protecting Scale? You truly have quite the audacity..."

The situation suddenly became extremely tense.

Mo Zhu also could not help but speak beside Bai He.

"Host, you should know that this is not merely an illusionary environment. In certain aspects, this is a real projection. It is impossible for Ye Shiyuan to obtain the Dragon Heart Protecting Scale."

Why would the Dragon Clan give face to some random person?

Even if he came from the Lingguang Sect, a first generation disciple of the Lingguang Sect was still someone the Dragon God Ao Yanji would not place in his eyes.

"Then is there any way for me to help him?"

"Host, normally no one is allowed to interfere with the trial. However, Host, I can help you."

Bai He became curious. "How?"

"You have armor on your body. If you only provide auxiliary assistance, it should not cause Ye Shiyuan’s trial to fail. But Host, you must absolutely remember not to use your spiritual power."

Once spiritual power was used, Ye Shiyuan’s trial would automatically fail.

Bai He took a deep breath. "Alright. Send me there immediately."

"Understood, Host."

Bai He glanced at Xu Feng beside him.

"Xiao Feng."

"Master, what is it?"

"I’m going to check on Shiyuan. You stay here and continue cultivating properly, understand?"

There would be no danger here, so Bai He was not particularly worried.

"Okay."

Bai He instantly disappeared from before xu Feng.

Zu Feng looked around in confusion and wondering where Bai He had suddenly gone.

...

Ao Yanji looked at Ye Shiyuan and let out a cold snort.

"Leave immediately. Otherwise, I will not be polite with you."

"I can accomplish anything you ask, but I need the Dragon Heart Protecting Scale. I ask that Dragon God grant me this favor."

Ao Yanji had already grown impatient.

He raised his hand and was about to strike Ye Shiyuan.

However, before Ye Shiyuan could even react, a figure suddenly rushed out and directly stood in front of him and blocking the attack.

"Master!"

Ye Shiyuan had originally thought that after staying in the Demon Cave for half a month, he would no longer feel fear.

But when he saw Bai He rushing in front of him and taking that palm strike for him, he felt a suffocating sensation.

He quickly caught him in his arms.

"Master?"

Bai He frowned slightly.

Even though Ao Yanji did not used his full strength and he used the armor and Xuantian Barrier to resist the attack, the pain still made him bare his teeth slightly.

"Shiyuan..."

"Master, how do you feel?"

Bai He shook his head.

"It hurts."

"Other than the pain?"

Bai He shook his head again.

Other than the pain, he truly did not feel anything else.

Ye Shiyuan placed his palm against Bai He’s back and carefully sensed the condition himself.

It seemed that nothing serious had actually happened.

But why had Bai He appeared here?

For a brief moment, Ye Shiyuan even doubted whether the person before him was truly Bai He...

Yet that expression, that demeanor... Those were indeed Bai He’s.

Ye Shiyuan let out a sigh of relief and helped him stand up.

"Master, why did you come here?"

"I was worried about you."

"But Master, you’re not allowed to help me."

Ye Shiyuan still remembered that no one was allowed to interfere.

Otherwise, the trial would fail and he knew very clearly what their fate would be.
