Capítulo 1874: Chapter 1873: The Eerie Dragon Court

“Indeed, I have something to discuss with you, and it’s quite important,” Grandpa Wang said seriously.

“After I took charge of the Flame Mountain, I discovered some special circumstances.”

With a wave of Grandpa Wang’s right hand, the flames before them gathered and finally formed an image.

This image reflected another part of the Flame Mountain.

A group of people dressed in yellow robes was sneakily guarding the entrance of a cave.

From within the cave, purple energy occasionally pulsed forth.

“What is this?” Xu Zimei asked, puzzled.

“The Form Court lineage, it’s also one of the Eighteen Veins of Yao Pond.”

Grandpa Wang explained.

“The Form Court lineage is quite similar to our Plant Lineage.

Both were once major veins of Yao Pond.”

“However, after encountering misfortunes and the death of the first generation Ancestral Master Huangting, the Form Court lineage gradually declined.

Now, like our Plant Lineage, it is not given much attention.”

“Moreover, the Form Court lineage suffers even more; at least we have Grandpa Wang to protect us, so others don’t dare to go too far.

I’ve heard the Form Court lineage doesn’t even have a strong elder.”

Wang Ya and Wang Ze chattered.

Xu Zimei looked at Grandpa Wang, wanting to understand what he meant.

“This is the Dragon Court of the Form Court lineage, said to be created by Ancestral Master Huangting in the past.”

Grandpa Wang said.

“Now is the most difficult time for Yao Pond. I heard that the Form Court lineage was assigned to guard the northern Ice Bird Peak.

But for some reason, they are within the Dragon Court.”

“So I want to ask you to investigate.”

“Do you suspect them?” Xu Zimei asked in surprise.

“Logically, the Queen of the West has the Sky-Monitoring Mirror, and this matter shouldn’t be arranged by me,” Grandpa Wang nodded.

He said, “But before I came here, I learned that the Queen of the West went to the Forbidden Land to discuss important affairs with Goddess Xuan Ming.”

“During this time, I hope no unexpected incidents occur.”

“Alright, I will go check it out,” Xu Zimei nodded.

He knew Grandpa Wang was stationed within the formation and couldn’t leave at the moment.

After a brief conversation, Xu Zimei left the place.

……

The Flame Mountain is currently in a sealed state.

When Xu Zimei left, he was still transported by the lotus.

The Dragon Court is located north of Yao Pond.

Xu Zimei left Flame Mountain and started heading north.

After walking for a while, he saw a group of people approaching from a distance.

“Young Master Xu.”

The leader of the group, a woman, called out in surprise.

It was none other than the Saintess Qing of the Tianluan lineage.

“What is Young Master Xu setting out to do?”

“Going to the Dragon Court,” Xu Zimei replied.

He wasn’t well-acquainted with this Saintess Qing, having only met her a couple of times.

But this Saintess Qing seemed naturally familiar.

Walking beside Xu Zimei, she said with a smile, “I’m also heading to the Dragon Court. Why not go together?”

“Why are you going to the Dragon Court?” Xu Zimei asked.

“The Form Court lineage, along with our Tianluan lineage, was ordered to guard the Ice Bird Peak.

We have already set up everything.

But we haven’t seen the Form Court lineage, so the Vein Leader asked us to take a look.”

Xu Zimei frowned slightly.

Finally, he nodded.

The Form Court lineage seemed strange.

The women behind them should be from the Tianluan lineage, though not of high status; they followed quietly behind.

Only the Saintess Qing spoke about the various situations of Yao Pond along the way.

In the end, she even invited Xu Zimei to visit the Tianluan lineage.

Since Xu Zimei had broken through the Three Flowers Realm, many in Yao Pond probably wanted to win him over.

But these people were barking up the wrong tree.

“We’re here,” Xu Zimei said calmly.

Unknowingly, they had already reached the periphery of the Form Court lineage.

Over the years, as the Form Court lineage declined, their territory in Yao Pond had become smaller and smaller.

Eventually, only the central area of the Dragon Court remained.

Looking up, the place indeed deserved to be called the Dragon Court.

It resembled a Divine Dragon rooted underground, with its tail toward Heaven’s Threshold, and its head deeply hidden from view.

“This isn’t an imitation dragon’s head. It’s said that Ancestral Master Huangting personally slew a True Dragon.

Finally forging the True Dragon’s corpse into the prototype of the Dragon Court.”

Saintess Qing explained.

At the entrance of the Dragon Court, two disciples in yellow robes stood guarding it.

Seeing Xu Zimei and his group, the yellow-robed disciples immediately became cautious.

“Go report to your Vein Leader that the Saintess of the Tianluan lineage is here,” the Saintess Qing said lightly.

Clearly, she didn’t regard the people of the Form Court lineage highly; otherwise, her attitude wouldn’t have been so dismissive.

Even after discerning the identity of the Saintess Qing, the two yellow-robed disciples remained vigilant.

They replied, “Our Vein Leader is currently in seclusion; we’re guarding the pass, and no one is allowed to forcefully enter.”

“Seclusion, are they breaking through?” Saintess Qing questioned, then said,

“Why try to break through at such a crucial juncture.”

“Please return,” the yellow-robed disciple said.

“The Queen Lord has ordered that your Form Court lineage and our Tianluan lineage guard the Ice Bird Peak,” Saintess Qing reminded.

“Once the Vein Leader exits seclusion, we will inform them immediately,” the yellow-robed disciple replied.

“Alright, then make it quick. The Monster Race may attack at any time,” Saintess Qing didn’t doubt much further.

After all, the Form Court lineage had already declined.

In fact, they were dispensable.

She was about to leave, but Xu Zimei frowned slightly.

He asked, “How many people does the Form Court lineage have now?”

The Plant Lineage had already declined, leaving only Wang Ya, her brother, and Grandpa Wang.

The Form Court lineage seemed off.

Saintess Qing replied, “Twenty or thirty people, perhaps. The current Vein Leader of the Form Court lineage is very ambitious.

He aims to expand the Form Court lineage greatly.

He’s been recruiting disciples widely.

Unfortunately, it still declined, and not many disciples are willing to join the Form Court lineage.

Currently, including core disciples and elders, there are only twenty or thirty people.”

“That’s not right. In my perception, there are at least several hundred auras within the Dragon Court now,” Xu Zimei said.

“That can’t be,” Saintess Qing exclaimed in astonishment.

“Are you doubting me?” Xu Zimei said calmly.

As a Three Flowers Realm expert, his divine sense could cover the entire Dragon Court without error.

Moreover, these auras were very strong, with some even surpassing Taoist Fruit level.

This was evidently abnormal.

If the Form Court lineage had such strength, they wouldn’t still be in decline.

“We need to go inside and take a look,” Saintess Qing evidently believed Xu Zimei and spoke to the yellow-robed disciples guarding the gate.

“No, the Vein Leader is in seclusion, and if disturbed, it would be catastrophic,” the yellow-robed disciples said firmly.

“Enough of this,” Xu Zimei said softly but firmly.

The two yellow-robed disciples were sent flying.

They spat blood and had no ability to stop them anymore.

Saintess Qing hesitated to say something.

After all, they were of the same sect, but then she recalled Xu Zimei killing Yao Pond disciples wasn’t rare.

As they stepped into the Dragon Court, everyone’s face changed dramatically.

Because inside, a dense demonic aura overwhelmed them.
