Chapter 1481: Chapter 1481: The Mysterious Elder in Black Is a Dragon

Indeed!

Dawn’s body blended into the tree trunk and then walked out from the other side.

In an instant, Yang Yan saw the light.

It turns out that besides the Reversed Trigrams technique, the Blinding Technique was used so brilliantly; it was truly breathtaking.

Yang Yan and Dawn finally walked out of the woods amidst a series of dazzling maneuvers.

At this moment, Yang Yan’s feet landed on an area composed of gravel and sand, where not a blade of grass grew. Without looking back, it was entirely a desolate and barren world.

After walking forward for roughly a quarter of an hour, the two arrived in front of a gigantic cave.

It was halfway up a massive volcano, connected to the ground by a straight staircase.

Standing before the enormous cave entrance, one could look up and see that the cave was about a thousand zhang away from the crater.

Standing at the entrance overflowing with Spiritual Qi, Dawn suddenly turned back and said to him, "Foster Father, inside is my master’s training ground. I’ll take you to meet him."

"Xiao’Er, how’s it going, did you deal with those annoying people? Hmm, why have you brought a stranger here?"

With a slightly elderly voice echoing, an elder in black appeared before Yang Yan and Dawn like a breeze.

Though his face attempted to show a kindly smile, it couldn’t fully conceal a hint of grim malice.

Such strong Demon Qi!

Unlike the aura of the Demon Race, this kind of Qi usually only appears on those exceptionally powerful Primordial Giant Beasts.

Could it be that this old man in black is actually a Primordial Giant Beast who has transformed into human form?

At the moment Dawn’s master appeared, Yang Yan’s already vigilant heart carried a trace of killing intent.

However, without concrete evidence, he maintained a calm appearance, not intending to immediately break off relations.

Seeing her master appear, Dawn happily ran to the elder’s side: "Master, that person is my foster father, not an uninvited guest. Xiao’Er found her foster father and even recovered lost memories, I’m so happy!"

Upon hearing Dawn’s words, the elder in black deeply eyed Yang Yan and suddenly revealed a slight smile: "Since he’s Xiao’Er’s foster father, let him stay a night. I’ll send you off the island tomorrow."

Although he appeared to have put away his hostility, Yang Yan still noticed a deeply hidden fierceness in his eyes.

"Ah! Leaving the island tomorrow? Xiao’Er wanted foster father to stay a bit longer!" Dawn said with a bit of regret upon hearing her master’s words.

The elder in black spoke softly to Dawn: "Your foster father is no ordinary person, he surely has important matters to attend to. You should stay with your master for now! When you succeed in your studies, and can assist him, then leave here."

While saying this, the elder in black glanced at Yang Yan intentionally or otherwise, maintaining a smile as if radiating goodwill.

Dawn thought about it, feeling somewhat regretful, but she lightly nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, the two followed the elder in black into the spacious cave.

This cave bore no signs of human carving, yet inside it differed entirely from the barren outside.

Entering felt like stepping into another world.

Both sides were filled with all kinds of exotic flora, each of them rare.

However, Yang Yan was not surprised by this; such strong presences resided here, and the Spiritual Qi was exceptionally abundant, making such an occurrence naturally sensible.

Continuing onward, they arrived at a vast space where pavilions, towers, bridges, and flowing water were constructed.

Overhead was not a volcano’s crater but the Blue Sky with white clouds and a warm, glowing sun.

But Yang Yan could tell these elements were crafted with Magic, likely from the hands of the mysterious elder in black.

Within the flowing stream, Yang Yan even saw a group of golden scales enveloped in Dragon Qi.

He couldn’t help but frown.

These golden scales evidently already possessed sufficient Dragon Qi, needing only an opportunity to transform into dragons.

But they’re willingly staying here, which only indicates the extraordinary strength of the elder.

No wonder Lingming was gravely injured with just one encounter, this elder in black’s foundation is truly terrifying.

After inviting Yang Yan for a brew of her homemade Immortal Tea, the elder in black claimed he was busy with Alchemy, casually conversed with Dawn for a bit, and instructed her to take Yang Yan to a room to rest.

As night fell, a swift figure arrived at Dawn’s room under the moonlight.

Creak—

A light push opened the door.

His bewitching eyes briefly flashed with a strange light, then his form slipped inside.

He slowly approached Dawn’s bedside, gazing at the sleeping girl on the bed, his eyes filled with greed.

He leaned toward Dawn, inhaled deeply, but paused in the next moment.

Immediately, his brow furrowed, and with a wave of his hand, he whisked off Dawn’s quilt.

Dawn clearly lay there, yet his gaze grew more sinister.

With a wave, a slit appeared on Dawn’s throat.

But in the next moment, it turned back into a piece of wood with a deep mark on it.

"Substitution Technique!"

Whoosh!

A candle suddenly flickered to life within the dark room, revealing Yang Yan’s figure standing behind the shadow.

"I knew it, you old dog, you were scheming against Dawn. Luckily I was prepared and swapped rooms with Xiao’Er." Yang Yan fiercely questioned the shadow.

The shadow, of course, was none other than Dawn’s master.

At this moment, he was entirely devoid of his earlier affability, his hideous face contorting violently.

Through gritted teeth, he faced Yang Yan and said, "You shouldn’t meddle in my affairs. I’m just a year away from success. Once this Human Medicine, possessing Ancient Qilin Bloodline and Primordial Spirit, is made, I will become the second Yinglong in this world."

"Bastard!" Hearing the term "Human Medicine," Yang Yan’s face bulged with veins.

"You must die here today!"

With a shout of fury, Yang Yan stomped the ground ferociously, charging toward the elder like lightning.

The so-called Human Medicine requires using a person as a medicine, having them consume all manner of Spirit Pills to constantly temper the body and soul, reaching a corresponding realm.

Then, the cultivator would find an opportune moment to drain the blood from this person filled with Spirit Pills, while devouring his Primordial Spirit.

During the blood-draining process, the person cannot die, which means he must endure the suffering of being drained and having his soul torn apart.

This is far more terrifying than extracting the soul from a living person, no wonder Yang Yan was infuriated.

However, Yang Yan didn’t expect this elder in black to actually have the form of a Horned Dragon.

A Flood Dragon transforms to a dragon after a thousand years, then successfully becomes a Horned Dragon after five thousand years, and takes ten thousand years to become a Yinglong.

Yinglong is the pinnacle form of the Dragon Race; besides the Dragon Race’s progenitor, no second one has appeared.

No wonder during the day a group of golden scales that should have already become dragons was willing to stay in the stream; unexpectedly, this guy is a Horned Dragon who has cultivated for several thousand years.
