Chapter 117: Entering Dragon Palace!

  Shangguan Yu's fingers moved slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes. He got up as usual, looked around at the scene, and finally remembered what had happened before. But after feeling his physical condition, he became puzzled again.

  "Didn't I just get killed by that giant python? What's going on now? Am I not dead?"

  "That's great, I didn't die after all. Looks like my luck isn't bad."

  "But it's not right, even if I didn't die, I was severely injured by that dragon at the time. But what's going on now? I don't look like I've been seriously injured at all, and that dragon seems to have disappeared too."

  Shangguan Yu jumped up from the original place, and his body seemed to be really fine. He looked around again, but did not find Jiao Long, nor did he find the original form of Jiao Long, that several hundred meters long python.

  "Was it all just a dream? But that's impossible, after all, Qin Shou is really gone. What exactly happened when I fainted? Did someone save me? Was it Master?"

  "But that's not right, Master is still in Zhenwu Gate, even if he wanted to rush over, it's estimated that he wouldn't be so timely. After fainting, I seemed to have felt my father's aura, could it be that Father saved me?"

  Shangguan Yu shook his head and stopped thinking about it. After all, they were all things of the past, and now it was better to focus on current matters. "Qin Shou seems to have entered the bottom of this pool, if I want to see Qin Shou, do I need to go down too?"

  He picked up a stone and threw it into the water. "Splash" The stone sank to the bottom of the water. He turned around in place, furrowing his brow, "Looking at this appearance, the water pool is estimated to be very deep, how should I go down?"

  A faint sound, Yu's ears moved slightly, and he turned his head to shout loudly, "What thing? Come out! I've already found you. If you don't come out, I'll personally catch you!"

  A small snake, about one meter long, crawled over. What was strange was that this little snake had a single horn on its head. Officer Yu looked carefully and found that the little snake actually had two feet.

  Isn't this the same dragon as before? Although it's many times smaller, Shangguan Yu knew he wouldn't be mistaken.

  "What are you? How did you appear here? What is your relationship with the original dragon? Was it that dragon who sent you over? What is your purpose for coming to me? Is it to kill me?"

  Shangguan Yu's string of questions had left Jiaolong dazed. Fortunately, Jiaolong had thought ahead and replied calmly, "The dragon you're referring to is our ancestor, the...

  The dragon paused for a moment, then continued, "Originally, it was supposed to be another dragon coming, but since I volunteered, the old ancestor let... me come. As for your questions, I will answer them slowly."

  If the dragon had hands, it would probably wipe away the cold sweat on its head. Previously saying "this seat" was just a habit, almost revealing itself. Before that, it treated Shangguan Yu like that, and didn't think Shangguan Yu would magnanimously forgive him.

  As for now, after the previous events, he doesn't dare to do anything to Shangguan Yu. Emperor Yin has said that if anyone touches Shangguan Yu, Emperor Yin will exterminate their entire clan. With just one thought from Emperor Yin, he can be destroyed, and he doesn't want to try whether Emperor Yin really has the ability to wipe out the Jiaolong clan.

  Moreover, Emperor Yin didn't know what technique he used, but he actually knocked him down to the Heavenly General realm. This wasn't just a decline in his martial arts cultivation, he could feel it, and his age seemed to have become younger as well. When Emperor Yin said something about reversing time and space, perhaps he had turned him back into a child.

  "Don't worry, I'm not here to kill you. The old ancestor also deeply apologizes for what happened before. So now the old ancestor won't show up either, he said he's too ashamed to face you." The Jiaolong explained slowly.

  "Is that so? Your ancestors used to want to kill me, how could they suddenly change their minds?" Shangguan Yu asked.

  "I won't hide it from you, the old ancestor seems to have sensed the power of your bloodline. This bloodline, the old ancestor happens to know, maybe it was your father, maybe it was your grandfather, maybe it was your great-grandfather, maybe..."

  Seeing the dragon still wanting to continue, Shangguan Yu unconsciously wiped his forehead. This was really a nagging little dragon. "Alright, alright, just go on and say it directly. Don't be so nagging, just speak simply." Shangguan Yu said impatiently.

  "That's right, which means your lineage has saved our ancestors before. So when the ancestors felt all this, they would feel deeply ashamed. As for me, I'm just here to receive you, how could I kill you? Moreover, do I have the power to kill you with my heavenly boundary?" The Jiaolong asked back.

  "Alright, so that's how it is. By the way, you said you're a Tianjiang realm being, but I remember that Tianjiang realm demons can't speak human language. So why can you talk?" Shangguan Yu became puzzled.

  "This doesn't matter, the ancestors are all-powerful and omniscient. If they want me to be able to speak, then I'll be able to speak. Previously, you suffered such severe injuries, but the ancestors also brought out their most precious healing medicine. How is it? Are you feeling almost fully recovered now?" The dragon looked at Shangguan Yu with eyes full of expectation.

  However, the dragon's heart was praying that Emperor would not settle accounts with him. He just wanted to improve his impression on Shangguan Yu, after all, he knew Shangguan Yu's qualifications. Maybe in the future, Shangguan Yu will surpass him in martial arts, and it won't be good for him to find him to settle accounts then.

  "Alright, I, Shangguan Yu, am not a petty person either. Since your ancestors are willing to take responsibility for the mistake, then I won't blame him." Shangguan Yu waved his hand, indicating that Xiao Jiaolong shouldn't mind this matter.

  "Really? That's great!" The dragon was so excited that he jumped up, and if he had hands and feet, he would have been dancing with joy.

  "Hehe, let's not talk about that for now. You're here to receive me, so do you know where Qin Shou went? He was my previous companion, do you know?" asked Shangguan Yu anxiously.

  "Uh-huh, I know, he went to the underwater Dragon Palace of our ancestors. I'll take you there, by the way, my name is Jiao Xiaolong, just call me Little Dragon." The dragon led the way, taking Shangguan Yu towards the direction of the water pool.

  "Is it going to be like this? You're a dragon, so getting in the water isn't a problem. But if I go on like this, it seems I won't make it, and the possibility of drowning is quite high." Upper Official Yu said with embarrassment.

  "No problem, our ancestors have already considered this. Our ancestors knew you couldn't go down, so they specially opened an underwater passage, just follow me."

  Jiaolong naturally made an effort to speak well of himself at this time, he wanted to gradually alleviate the bad feeling that Shangguan Yu had towards him. As for this passage, it was naturally already there before.

  Shangguan Yu nodded, and since he could go down, it was naturally the best. Walking to the side of the water pool, Shangguan Yu indeed saw a road. He didn't have any doubts either; if that dragon wanted to kill him, it would only take a slight movement of its finger to annihilate him. Shangguan Yu had seemed to sense the aura of the Emperor's lineage before, but after all, he hadn't seen it with his own eyes. Moreover, how could he have thought that the Emperor would directly knock the dragon down into the Tianjiang realm?

  Shangguan Yu walked in the underwater passageway, feeling as if he had entered an aquarium from his past life. Although this wasn't a sea, the creatures outside were also diverse in shape and form. Compared to the aquariums on Earth, there seemed to be more species of animals here, and what's more, there were even mythical beasts.

  However, those animals did not come towards the upper official Yu's side, as if there was some danger in this underwater passage. In fact, it was indeed the case, for this was a dragon king who had used his magical powers to create it. It was inevitable that the dragon king's aura would be left on it, so how could those monsters dare to come here?

  Before long, Shangguan Yu saw a magnificent palace. The palace looked extremely luxurious and shone brightly in the water. If he had to describe it, Shangguan Yu thought it was similar to the underwater dragon palace recorded in Journey to the West, or perhaps more like the Bi Bo Tan from Journey to the West, because this place was just a pool of water after all.

  Jiao Xiaolong muttered to himself, and Shangguan Yu couldn't understand what he was saying. However, Shangguan Yu didn't disturb Jiao Xiaolong, anyway, he didn't think that Jiao Xiaolong would do anything unfavorable to him at the moment.

  Rumble

  The palace gate opened, and Shangguan Yu had already seen the scene inside the palace. What he had heard before was indeed true - dragons did like shiny things. Although this was only a Jiaolong's palace, the things inside were really too beautiful.

  "It's really beautiful here, I've been to the imperial palace, but it can't even compare to one percent of this place. And it feels just like being on land, without any feeling of being in the water at all, just as if you were on dry land."

  Upon hearing Shangguan Yu's praise, Jiao Xiaolong also became pleased. If it were before, he would naturally have ignored Shangguan Yu's praise. But now it was different, times had changed.

  "That's right, you said Qin Shou is here, but I haven't seen him?" Shangguan Yu looked around the palace and then cut to the chase.

  The palace, no matter how beautiful it is, has no use. He isn't someone who likes luxury that much either, even if he were to live in a house himself, he wouldn't want to live in such an eye-catching one. He won't forget his main goal, and came here just to find Qin Shou.

  "This... I... My ancestor clearly said that Qin Shou was right here, but now there's no one? This is a closed space, even if he wanted to leave, he couldn't." Jiao Xiaolong hastily said.

  Looking at Jiao Xiaolong's seemingly genuine appearance, Shangguan Yu also stopped asking him. "Alright, let's split up and take a look around. You said your ancestor put it here, so it should be findable."

  Shangguan Yu and Jiao Xiaolong both started searching. So where did Qin Shou go?
