Chapter 359: Chapter 274: The Power of the Nether Python, Lu Xuan Calls for Reinforcements!
At the same time, Bai Shen and King Qing at the bottom of the river were suddenly alert due to the words of the Underworld Python.
Bai Shen slowly raised his head, looking up at the surface of the Jinlin River thousands of meters above. His voice carried a hint of disbelief: "What!"
"Someone above?"
The thousand-foot-long green snake beside him suddenly widened its vertical pupils, a flicker of fear and anger flashing through its cold eyes.
Then, its body thrashed violently at the river bottom, its scales bristling slightly due to tension, stirring up the mud and sand, causing the water to swirl wildly.
A terrifying whirlpool spread outward in concentric circles, plunging the entire riverbed into chaos.
In the midst of this underwater turmoil, a mysterious green light flickered erratically.
In the blink of an eye, the enormous snake swiftly shrank, transforming into a human form — it was none other than King Qing.
King Qing’s face was cold and pale, and his small eyes were filled with trepidation.
He growled through gritted teeth: "That damned human!"
The words were laden with an unmistakable fear, and King Qing’s body involuntarily trembled slightly.
Evidently, the human above the Jinlin River had left an indelible shadow on him.
Back in the Green Wind Valley, he remembered it well.
If it weren’t for the Lion Monarch’s Primordial Spirit helping him fend off the human above.
His millennia of cultivation would have been in vain, leading to his death and obliteration by the merciless human above.
King Qing’s loss of composure prompted Bai Shen beside him to ask, "King Qing, who is that person?"
King Qing stared at the river surface with unwavering eyes, his voice low and hoarse: "Those damned humans of the Profound Bird Guard, Deputy Director Lu Xuan!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Shen’s heart sank heavily.
Although he had never seen Lu Xuan himself, he had heard rumors about this Deputy Director of the Profound Bird Guard.
Even the old ghost Bai Gu had suffered at the hands of Lu Xuan.
"Lu Xuan... why has he appeared here so quickly?"
Bai Shen murmured softly, his tone tinged with unease.
Though young, Lu Xuan was the Deputy Director of the Profound Bird Guard.
The very fact that Lu Xuan, the Deputy Director, had discovered the anomaly at Jinlin River.
Was enough to prove!
The Great Xia Court had already sensed the Underworld Python was about to break free.
Enough!
Bai Shen sighed inwardly, gradually restraining the murderous intent in his eyes.
He silently raised his head, looking at the sky above Jinlin River, having reached a decision in his mind.
If things go awry, he will flee immediately, not entangling even a bit.
At this moment, the authoritative voice of the Underworld Python echoed from the riverbed, a suffocating pressure looming.
"I have one more day until I can break free."
With these words, the Dragon Monarch’s massive eyes slowly closed, and his gigantic body once again sank into the riverbed, seemingly merging with the surrounding darkness.
Bai Shen’s heart shuddered slightly upon hearing this.
The Dragon Monarch was on the brink of breaking free; if they could endure one more day, there might still be a turning point.
But now, Lu Xuan, the Deputy Director of the Profound Bird Guard, being here was evidence that the Profound Bird Guard was watching closely.
Bai Shen feared that the elusive Director of the Profound Bird Guard might also personally come to Jinlin River.
King Qing, having received the news that the Dragon Monarch needed one more day to break free, had a cold expression, his eyes flickering with complex emotions.
He was obviously aware of the imminent crisis. Turning to Bai Shen, he growled softly, "One day... just hold on for one more day."
"Once Mr. Dragon Monarch breaks free, it will be the death for these Profound Bird Guard members!"
"Master Bai Shen, everything relies on you now!"
After speaking, King Qing unexpectedly bowed deeply to Bai Shen, indicating for him to stop Lu Xuan above.
Bai Shen did not respond but continued to gaze silently at the river’s surface, contemplating silently.
Rely on me?
If it’s only Lu Xuan alone, then stopping him for one day is still manageable.
Above the Jinlin River, Lu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his garments gently fluttering in the breeze, calmly overlooking the river surface.
The fierce killing intent from the river below could not shake Lu Xuan’s mind in the slightest.
Lu Xuan’s presence at the Jinlin River was entirely accidental.
It was merely because of some words from Li Chengfeng that Lu Xuan rushed over in haste.
The other day, an unexpected anomaly occurred at Jinlin River, with the waters surging and massive waves sweeping across both banks.
What was more shocking was that all living creatures near Jinlin River, whether human or beast, fainted instantly.
This extremely bizarre phenomenon sent the people around Jinlin River into a frenzy, fleeing the area.
When Li Chengfeng, far away in the prefecture city, received the news, he was horrified beyond measure.
He immediately suspected some change in the Underworld Python at the riverbed and planned to report this anomaly to the Celestial Capital Profound Bird Guard.
However, just then, Lu Xuan returned to White Dao Prefecture, and Li Chengfeng directly informed him of the matter.
"Lu,"
"The anomaly at Jinlin River is no trivial matter, and it’s very likely there’s an upheaval with the Underworld Python at the riverbed,"
Li Chengfeng said with a solemn expression and a hint of urgency in his voice. "If that Underworld Python breaks free, it could lead to catastrophic disaster."
Being part of the Eight Great Families, Li Chengfeng was well aware of the terror of the Underworld Python.
The person who sealed the Underworld Python at the bottom of Jinlin River back then was none other than the former Emperor Xia Ritian!
Upon hearing Li Chengfeng mention the Underworld Python at Jinlin River, Lu Xuan’s heart trembled slightly, his eyes reflecting a moment of profound thoughts.
This time, besides visiting his father, Lu Xuan had another important purpose for returning to White Dao Prefecture.
