"Ah!!"
A peculiar scream rang out, transmitted through mental waves into Zhang Xiaomanâs mind.
The sound seemed like it came from the mouth of a naive child, very sharp.
"Itâs it!"
Zhang Xiaoman immediately understood what was going on.
Although that figure had just flashed by, in the world of divine sense, there was no such thing as misseeing.
Just one glance, even for a brief moment, could see through the otherâs appearance.
The small blue figure was clearly the giant dragon Ni Yang he had just seen in the lake, just a shrunken version of it.
Zhang Xiaoman immediately chased after it.
"Donât come over!"
The blue figure darted ahead quickly, like a nimble little fish, screaming incessantly as it ran.
Zhang Xiaoman tried to chase for a distance, finding that he couldnât quite catch up, so he stopped.
He recalled when his divine thought entered the Jade just now, then had an idea, sending a thought that caused the surrounding formation to start operating.
"Donât come over! Donât come over!"
The voice that was gradually getting farther away began to draw near again, and looking up, he saw the green little dragon flying uncontrollably toward him.
"So thatâs how it is!"
Zhang Xiaoman realized, now that the Sect Leader Jade had acknowledged him as its master, that within this formation, a single thought could capture the little dragon.
The little dragon, realizing that it had been captured, simply stopped struggling, coiled its body, and looked fiercely at Zhang Xiaoman, saying:
"You little brat, how dare you be so disrespectful to my majesty! I should just swallow you whole!"
Hearing its childish voice, Zhang Xiaoman didnât feel threatened at all but instead found it quite adorable.
"Oh? Then come and try it."
He smiled at the creature.
"Uh..."
The little dragon was momentarily speechless, then put on a serious and earnest expression and said:
"Kid, youâd better let my majesty go quickly, itâs for your own good, donât you know that youâre in big trouble now!?"
Zhang Xiaoman remained unmoved, simply watching him quietly.
The little dragon, seeing this, hurriedly said:
"Kid, donât you know that the Jade in your hand is an artifact of the Immortal Palace? It ended up in the Mortal World because it was stolen by that old Tianyuan during the chaos. Itâs a hot potato! Now that youâve taken it, when those from the Immortal Palace find you, you wonât even know how you ended up dead!"
"Really? Are you sure?"
"Do I even have to say it! My majestyâIâm the strongest divine beast in the Immortal Realm, a master of fortune, why would I lie to a little brat like you?"
"You listen to my majesty, release my primordial spirit from in here, and I can ensure your cultivation path is smooth. If those Immortal Palace fools chase you, I can deal with them one by one."
"Besides, my majestyâs power is profound, I can wipe out your human clanâs Immortal Palace with a snap of my fingers. Back in the day, I led four little brothers from the Ascending Immortal Gate all the way to the Ten Thousand Immortals Hall, you havenât seen that scene... So I advise you to let my majesty out, otherwise, when my power recovers, humph humph..."
"..."
Zhang Xiaoman looked at it with a strange expression, finding it rather amusing.
Unexpectedly, Ni Yang, one of the legendary five great demon kings of the Immortal Realm, turned out to be such a bluffing character, quite contrary to his expectations.
This guy didnât look anything like the Divine Dragon he remembered, instead, it had a hint of Master Liuâs demeanor.
"If youâre so powerful, then why canât you get out by yourself?"
His sudden question stopped the still-ranting green little dragon, which then wiggled toward him, shouting in its childlike voice:
"Damned human kid! How dare you bully me so much! Didnât you hear anything I just said!? Iâll fight you!"
Zhang Xiaoman, hearing its last sentence, instinctively wanted to say, "Sorry, I donât use group-buy apps, nor do I catch mice for you."
But seeing the little dragonâs barred-teeth expression, he decided not to provoke it further, although it wouldnât understand anyway.
A thought in his mind, the surrounding formation lit up, instantly immobilizing the little dragon in place.
"Alright, Ni Yang, stop trying to fool me, so thatâs why you ran so fast, you had your primordial spirit sealed in here..."
Zhang Xiaoman said.
He now understood why the Tianyuan Sectâs Secret Scripture said that the Sect Leader Jade could suppress demon beasts.
It turned out that its primordial spirit was imprisoned here, and with just a thought, he could subdue it, even control its life and death, just like the Tightening Spell of Tang Sanzang.
Although he still couldnât figure out the principle of the primordial spirit, it was unimportant for now. What mattered was he could incapacitate the dragon.
Ni Yang, realizing his words had been seen through, began to threaten brazenly out of shame and anger.
"Kid! I advise you to let my majesty go immediately, otherwise when I get out, I will surely..."
But, his words were abruptly cut off, followed by a series of wailing screams.
"Ah!! Damned kid! Donât let my majesty out, or Iâll definitely..."
