Chapter 1317: Chapter 1321: Three Dragons Clearing the Pass

“Whoosh~” The Sword Spirit Dragon drifted to and fro, always quietly floating in the past, and even hiding its own form, but it hasn’t been by Zhu Minglang’s side for too long. As a sword, it acted especially spoiled.

It seemed to miss the days when it joined Zhu Minglang in the Dragon Gate, slaying thousands of Demon Gods and battling the masters of varied celestial layers.

Although it was a Sword Spirit Dragon, its sword heart remained unchanged; it still yearned to be wielded, to unleash a level of Divine Power beyond what it could achieve by itself!

Zhu Minglang indeed wanted to wield the sword, but the flare on the sword was a significant risk.

As soon as he activated Sword Awakening, that spiritual flare would definitely transfer to his soul, equivalent to branding himself with this mark of flare. Without understanding the person behind the flare, Zhu Minglang could not afford to take this risk.

What if, this was a trap set by his arch-enemy from the Dragon Gate?

The Sword Spirit Dragon was inherently simple-minded and easily manipulated. To get rid of Zhu Minglang, he believed his enemies from the Dragon Gate would be willing to wait even fifty years for him!

Luckily, there were already very clear clues at this time.

If he became a Direct Disciple of the Weaver Star, there would be leads regarding the flare.

…

Leaving Beast Suppressing Island, Zhu Minglang heard that Brother Song Hao was recuperating from injuries, so he hurried to visit him.

At first, Song Hao did not mention the reason for his injuries, but after learning that Kang’s Star Officer had come to cause trouble, Song Hao then shared the details.

“Junior Brother, I did not disclose your situation to them…” Song Hao, worried that Zhu Minglang might misunderstand, quickly explained.

“You’re injured like this, how could it possibly have been you spreading the word, Brother? Besides, since the Town Mountain Immortal accepted me as a Direct Disciple out of the ordinary, I presume my fellow sect brothers also spread the word. A little inquiry would reveal this matter, so Brother did not need to offend Kang’s Star Officer on my account. It is I who have implicated Brother Song Hao, I am ashamed, truly ashamed,” Zhu Minglang said to Song Hao.

“How could that be okay? It doesn’t matter to me how they found out, but as your brother, I could never betray you. I have already reported this matter to our master. The Town Mountain Immortal has a say in the Southern Heavenly Palace, and of course, he won’t let Kang’s Star Officer do whatever he pleases,” Song Hao said.

“It’s hard on you, Brother. While patrolling the seas, I gathered a ‘Ten Thousand Year Coagulation’ Lingzhi. Please accept it, Brother,” Zhu Minglang said.

“How could I accept this? I’m fine, just need a few days of rest.”

“Brother, please accept it. Otherwise, I will feel guilty. Right now, these are the types of spiritual resources I can gather. I’ll bring better ones to Brother later as compensation,” Zhu Minglang sincerely said.

Song Hao had taken a hit for him. Since the Town Mountain Immortal would intervene, Kang’s Star Officer would certainly not dare to continue pestering the matter, especially since what he coveted was the Virtual Dragon Egg of the White Kirin. If Town Mountain Immortal found out, it wouldn’t end well for him either.

Zhu Minglang had obtained the Virtual Dragon Egg of the White Kirin, and Brother Song Hao had taken the disaster on his behalf; naturally, Zhu Minglang remembered this kindness.

All in all, the promotion of Song Hao to Moon Radiance God’s level, Zhu Minglang had it covered.

Song Hao, as a Deacon, had his Cultivation Base stuck at the very peak of the God King Level Realm. The Six Divine Cleansing at best might get him halfway, and there was still a very long way to go to truly reach the Moon Radiance God status. Without the attention of high-ranking officials from the Southern Heavenly Palace or the favor of their master, it’s almost impossible to attain Moon Radiance, and Deacon might be the highest position he could hold in the Southern Heavenly Palace.

After this event, Zhu Minglang truly regarded Song Hao as a real brother, and it was only right to support his brother in ascending to the Moon Radiance God status.

Of course, Zhu Minglang did not yet have this ability, as he himself had not stepped into the Moon Radiance God Level State. But after becoming much stronger, he could achieve this in just a few years.

…

The annual competition was approaching, and Zhu Minglang had made ample preparations.

Little Glutton and Little Jiuwei would be the main combat dragons.

It would be best for them to conserve some fighting strength for the final battles with the Heavenly Beings and the Earth Beings.

The Chongwang Dragon is now at the Peak God Monarch level of cultivation.

As a belligerent Death Spirit Dragon with the supernatural power of reincarnation, it shouldn’t have much trouble passing all the previous rounds and even the Hundred Hero Battle.

“Junior Brother, I’ve calculated for you, you can probably enter the Hundred Hero Disciple Battle after winning six consecutive rounds,” Qiao Caiqing analyzed for Zhu Minglang at the teahouse.

“How many dragons do you have now?” Song Hao asked.

Qiao Caiqing felt her strength was too weak among the Inner Gate disciples, so she didn’t even participate in this year’s annual competition.

In fact, there are not many people who have fought their way from the Outer Sect to the Inner Gate and then participated in the battle for direct discipleship in the same year.

As a deacon, Song Hao has already lost the qualification to participate in the competition.

Whether they are Outer Sect disciples or Inner Gate disciples, there is a general time limit. Once that limit is reached, they are required to transition to the role of deacons, take on duties, and then be assigned to serve under various immortal elders.

If they perform well and are favored by the immortal elder, they will gradually be nurtured as confidants. However, the nurturing and attention they receive are basically based on their own efforts and contributions, unlike during their disciple days when they would receive robust support from the entire Southern Heavenly Court, including their mentors.

Therefore, generally, if one does not advance to direct discipleship during the Inner Gate disciple phase, they can say goodbye to Moon Radiance God Divine Realm.

“Three dragons,” Zhu Minglang answered truthfully.

“Only three??” Song Hao immediately became anxious and even a bit perplexed, “Junior Brother, seeing how you take care of the Suppressing Beasts, I feel like if our Suppressing Beasts were not bound by a contract, they would all follow you. With your affinity for dragon beasts, why do you only have three dragons? What about Juvenile Spirits, how many do you have?”

“I’m not raising any Juvenile Spirits at the moment,” Zhu Minglang said.

Song Hao slapped his forehead.

This was utterly baffling.

With the conditions of an Inner Gate Disciple, even if one does not want to take Juvenile Spirits, they could completely entrust them to maids and servant girls.

Juvenile Spirits are a gamble that can turn a kitten into a tiger dragon!!

Having more is definitely a gain!

“You have to realize, even though the beasts of the Southern Heavenly Court are protective of you, they are not allowed to help you in the annual competition. With only three dragons, how many rounds can you withstand?” Song Hao was genuinely worried for Zhu Minglang.

“Don’t worry, Senior Brother, each of my three dragons is strong enough to hold up half the sky,” Zhu Minglang said confidently.

“Alright, alright, if you’re really about to be eliminated, I’ll go talk to our master. Although he has been a bit angry lately, saying you are unappreciative, when his anger fades, he still hopes you will join our Town Mountain Gate,” Song Hao said.

As the three were talking, a woman slowly approached.

She glanced at Song Hao but didn’t pay him much attention; instead, she walked straight up to Qiao Caiqing and said with a dismissive tone, “Qiao Junior Sister, come over here to talk.”

Qiao Caiqing immediately stood up, apologized to the two men, and followed the woman.

The two women didn’t go far, stopping at the corner of the teahouse balcony railing.

It was clear that the woman held a more arrogant posture, and it seemed Qiao Caiqing had recently been following this Senior Sister and was very respectful to her.

Zhu Minglang felt that the arrogant woman looked familiar.

After looking closely for a while, he remembered that this woman was the Inner Gate Senior Sister who previously stole Qiao Caiqing’s credit on Rain Island. Zhu Minglang even remembered her name, Qin Wu.
