Chapter 61: The Mysterious Dragon Scales!

  Beat him until he surrenders!

  At this moment, Zhao Xi suddenly realized that the young man in front of him, although he had a very gentle side and was not arrogant in his daily life, once he made up his mind about something, he would also be very overbearing.

  The atmosphere of the martial arts world is to defeat the opponent until they surrender, this statement would likely make people laugh out loud, the gap between the great and small realms is fundamentally incomparable. However, Zhao Xi Feng didn't have a shred of doubt, no reason was needed, he simply believed in Qin Zheng's words.

  "Alright, I'll give it to you. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility for it. As the master of this sect, I am also one of the three overlords of Ling Luo City, so what is there to fear?" Zhao Xi Feng said with a heroic tone.

  Qin Zheng knew that Zhao Xifeng was using this move to win him over, considering letting him monopolize the power of Lingluo City alone. However, it cannot be denied that under the circumstances where the other two overlords of Lingluo City, Luo Yingjie and Zhou Xiong, were eyeing Qin Zheng's limitless potential with envy, being able to make such a decision also showed Zhao Xifeng's appreciation for him.

  "Thank you, Master," Qin Zheng said.

  Zhao Xi Feng smiled and waved his hand, "Don't be polite." He looked at the divine furnace, "This furnace is quite extraordinary, although there's nothing mysterious about it, but wanting to move it even a little bit is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

  Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master, there is someone who can."

  He retreated, and Yanzhi listened to the rain, revealing his figure.

  She had been studying the Divine Furnace from start to finish, and at this moment she was still excitedly stroking the Divine Furnace, feeling the unique aura on it.

  "I remember the day you first arrived, at the banquet, you said that Yan Niang was a Master of Martial Arts." Zhao Xi replied.

  "It's not just an ordinary drillmaster." Qin Zheng smiled and said.

  Zhao Xi pondered and said, "The five-clawed golden dragon that flew out of the Refining Furnace caused a huge stir. Although it didn't trigger an explosion on the Divine Martial Continent due to the Nine-Colored God Lotus Scripture, many people came to visit, including the Great Huaxia Empire's Refining Master Gao Donglai, who personally inspected it. Despite confirming that there was nothing extraordinary about this Refining Furnace, he still wanted to take it back for further study, but even Gao Donglai couldn't move it an inch."

  Since the first martial arts family, the Yan family, was destroyed overnight, the number of powerful warriors on the Divine Martial Continent has not only decreased sharply, but their overall quality has also declined. Even Yan Lianyu, who used to look down on them, is now stronger than some of those powerful warriors in certain aspects, and only slightly weaker overall.

  "Others may not be able to, but that doesn't mean you can't, Listening Rain." Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Listening Rain, take it back."

  "Uh-huh."

  Swallow listened to the rain and softly hummed a sound, then patted it lightly with her hand.

  Rumble!

  The Divine Furnace shook once.

  Zhao Xi's eyes widened in shock, as countless people had tried before but couldn't even budge it.

  Swallow Listening Rain grasped the Divine Furnace and lifted it lightly, hearing a "pa" sound. The Divine Furnace left the ground and was casually put into her spatial pouch.

  "Me, me..." Zhao Xi was tongue-tied in front of Zhang.

  "The way is clear, let's head back." Qin Zheng said with a smile.

  Zhao Xi stared blankly at the four footprints on the ground, left behind by the Divine Furnace's four legs, still in shock.

  Qin Zheng and the other person have already left the small building.

  The old man who had been sleeping soundly woke up, glanced at Yanyu faintly, and walked to a sunny spot, not caring if it was hot or not. He leaned against the wall corner and poured himself some wine from his gourd.

  The swallow felt a chill all over its body as it was stared at by the old man, as if it had been imprisoned.

  "Let's go." Qin Zheng said softly, holding Yan Tingyu's hand.

  The two of them left the courtyard and returned to their residence.

  After returning, Yan Tingyu began to study Longlin. After all, compared to the Divine Furnace, Longlin was a bit simpler. She had also studied it before and was confident that she could find out its secrets.

  Qin Zheng then went to the Zhou family to take back the 5 million gold coins he had won.

  Castle Lord's Mansion

  It's always been bustling, but today it's unusually quiet. The people in the mansion dare not speak loudly, only whispering to each other about Qin Zheng's affairs.

  In the backyard, Lord Luo Yingjie and Zhou Xiong, the master of the Zhou family, sat opposite each other. On the table were some wine and dishes, but neither of them had taken a bite.

  "How does the city master view Qin Zheng this person." Zhou Xiong's face was gloomy and terrifying.

  "Qin Zheng, a 16 or 17-year-old young man, is already at the high level of Qi Wu realm, and his combat power is even more terrifying. A person like this, as long as he is given one or two years' time, will definitely enter the Ling Wu realm, and his future achievements are beyond our reach." Luo Yingjie thought of Qin Zheng's age and felt a chill run down his spine.

  "Considering his age, he's already qualified to be chosen by the Divine Alliance. Yet, he came to our humble Ling Luo City and even joined the Dragon Lion Arena. If we let him stay, both of our families will be in danger."

  Luo Yingjie had no choice but to admit that he too feared Qin Zheng's growth. "Qin Zheng must die!"

  "I think so too." Zhou Xiong nodded in agreement, "But killing him might not be that easy."

  "You're worried about Zhao Xifeng's Longshen Daochang, aren't you?" Luo Yingjie said.

  "Hmm, the Longshendao and our two sides have been in a stalemate for so long, indeed their strength is formidable, wanting to eradicate them won't be that easy." Zhou Xiong said with a sigh.

  Luo Yingjie sneered: "This is simple, tonight we'll invite Zhao Xifeng to bring Qin Zheng over for dinner, and then we'll say that we want to redivide the interests of Lingluo City."

  Zhou Xiong shook his head, "He may not be willing to come."

  "If he doesn't come, we'll go to him," Luo Yingjie said with a scowl. "In short, it's tonight, and if we pass tomorrow, who knows what countermeasures they'll think of, then we'll be passive."

  "The longer the time, the more likely it is to cause trouble, so let's do it tonight." Zhou Xiong said with a sinister smile, "Re-divide the interests of Lingluo City, and forcibly take away the Longshen Taoist temple. Zhao Xi will certainly not agree, then force him to kill Qin Zheng. If he doesn't agree, kill him together."

  "Ha! You're saying exactly what I'm thinking!" Luo Yingjie exclaimed with a loud laugh.

  The two people's depressed mood was swept away, they raised their wine cups, clinked them together and drank in one gulp.

  "There's another thing, has the city master noticed that the guardian of the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra, which was popular recently, in the East Sea Royal Palace's Yulian Temple is called Qin Zheng? Is he the same person as our city's Qin Zheng?" Zhou Xiong suddenly remembered something.

  "What's the big deal." Luo Yingjie sneered, "That Qin Zheng's reputation may be great, but it wasn't earned by himself, rather it was borrowed from the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra. If he really is the one, then after leaving the East Sea Royal Palace's protection, he's nothing. If we kill him, we might even get some good stuff from the East Sea Royal Palace."

  Zhou Xiong burst out laughing and said: "The city master is right, come on, let's have another drink."

  Two men pushed cups and changed plates, ate a little food, and went to make arrangements for tonight.

  Dragon Lion Court

  Qin Zheng took the 5 million gold coins earned from the Zhou family, and this time he didn't hide his face. He took the receipt and withdrew the 5 million gold coins under the gaze of many people, also causing a stir. Qin Zheng ignored it and returned to the Daochang. His mind was now filled with the wonders of Longlin's techniques, as well as what kind of martial arts were inside the Shenbing furnace, which dared to say that they surpassed the Shenbing domain and the Douhu trend.

  When he arrived at the gate of the hospital, he saw Qiao Long pacing back and forth with a worried look on his face, no longer matching his previous arrogant and provocative attitude. His friends also stood aside with their heads hung low.

  "Qin, Old Man Qin."

  When Qin Zheng arrived, Qiao Long and a few others tried their best to squeeze out a smile on their stiff faces, but that smile was even uglier than crying.

  Since Qin Zheng killed Zhuang Daojing, Zhao Xifeng has already declared that Qin Zheng is the elder of Longshi Daochang, and if Qin Zheng is willing, he can become the deputy master of the Daochang, which has never been had before. Qin Zheng declined, saying that he was new to the place and not suitable for a position higher than those who have paid for decades as elders. Zhao Xifeng did not force him then.

  "Here comes trouble again." Qin Zheng looked at them with a seemingly amused expression.

  Plop!

  Qiao Long swore that he didn't want to kneel, but when his eyes met Qin Zheng's, he found that his legs wouldn't listen to him and knelt down.

  He knelt down and others also knelt down.

  "Spare our lives, elder, we were wrong." Qiao Long begged.

  Qin Zheng is not a person who holds grudges, especially against someone as despicable as Qiao Long. It's beneath him to bother with such a person.

  "Never mind." Qin Zheng waved his hand.

  "Thank you, Elder, thank you, Elder." Qiao Long didn't expect Qin Zheng to let it go, "Elder is magnanimous and generous, with great benevolence and righteousness, compassionate and kind..."

  "Stop, stop, your affairs, I'm too lazy to care about. Don't come here to bother me again, all of you leave." Qin Zheng was made to have goosebumps all over his body by what Qiao Long said, he found that these few sentences were much more formidable than Qiao Long's fists and feet.

  Qiao Long and others were overjoyed and quickly stood up.

  They didn't leave immediately.

  "There's something else," Qin Zheng asked.

  Qiao Long said: "Isn't Elder collecting the dragon scales left behind by the Five-clawed Divine Dragon?"

  "Do you have?" Qin Zheng naturally wouldn't mind having more, the more dragon scales the better.

  "I don't have dragon scales, but I did get a Dragon Ball." Qiao Long took out a small golden bead that looked like it was made of pure gold, with the image of a five-clawed golden dragon on it.

  Dragon Ball?

  Five-clawed golden dragon also has dragon beads.

  "Are you sure it's a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon?" Qin Zheng asked.

  "It's certain that when the Five-clawed Golden Dragon caused a huge stir, we rushed to find those dragon scales but they were all snatched away. As a result, we discovered this Dragon Ball." Qu Long said with certainty.

  Qin Zheng patted Qiao Long's shoulder, "This matter should not be told to others, I'll take the Dragon Pearl." He casually took out a stone fist scroll, "This is for you."

  Qiao Long's hands grasped the scroll in surprise and were trembling.

  Before he could speak, Qin Zheng stepped into the courtyard. He was also surprised that the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon had left behind a dragon pearl. It was clear that if this dragon pearl were real, it would be the foundation of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon. When Qin Zheng held it, he felt as though he had touched the Divine Furnace.

  He closed the courtyard door and rushed back to his room, ignoring the congratulations from Qiao Long and others outside.

  As soon as he entered the room, he saw Yan Tingyu sitting on one side, his hands constantly changing, using the secret method of the Yan family. The more than 300 dragon scales were floating in mid-air, emitting golden light, connecting with each other, stirring up the heaven and earth's vital energy, gathering around them, forming a coiled golden dragon. On the surface of the golden dragon, where the dragon scales' golden light gathered, some words appeared. Among them, the top few words made Qin Zheng fall into extreme joy.

  Those few words are... the Dragon Pulse of the Eight Methods of the Imperial Dragon!
