Journey to the End of the Night
Chapter 1604 - 974: Dragon Fish Whale
So, in Shifang City, what is his intention in using the Ying Dragon to hold the auction?
Ting Yan’s mind was a jumble, yet she understood.
It seemed she was on the verge of uncovering a massive conspiracy without realizing it.
Although it came with great danger, it was also the perfect opportunity to gather intelligence.
Ting Yan propped herself up and gently massaged Lin Kun’s shoulders with both hands.
"Golden Immortal Feng Xu? Is he the Golden Immortal hosting the auction?
But since that lord is running out of time, logically, his time would be incredibly valuable.
Why would he make such a grand display by hosting a major auction in Shifang City?"
Zhou Qingrang sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and looked at her meaningfully.
"You little demon, you’re quite greedy. It’s one thing to be curious about our affairs, but you actually dare to scheme against Lord Feng Xu."
Guan Yue sneered and said, "Ultimately, you’re still working for One Drop of Blood. Even now, you don’t forget to gather information for your master."
Lin Kun’s hand unapologetically landed on Ting Yan’s hip, kneading it thoroughly, with a sly grin on his lips, he said, "I don’t mind a loyal woman."
His grip was anything but gentle, almost as if he was trying to crush her flesh inch by inch.
Despite the pain causing her to break into a cold sweat, Ting Yan maintained a charming and ingratiating smile, her voice a soft whisper, stirring the heart.
"Oh dear~ how annoying, I’ve been working at One Drop of Blood gathering intelligence for many years, loyalty and duty are in my bones. Serving one place’s grain, I must be loyal to my mission."
Her alluring gaze shifted, and she pressed her body against Lin Kun’s firm and solid body.
"However, now with such a powerful master, I can be just as loyal, right?
Or rather, are the three Immortals so powerful that they’re worried about not being able to curtail a little fox demon’s curiosity?"
Zhou Qingrang burst into laughter, "What a cute little mouth you have, winning favors."
Lin Kun yanked her body fiercely towards him, like a beast devouring prey, burying his head in her soft and fragrant neck, and a low, muffled voice followed:
"Since you’re in our three brothers’ room today, you won’t escape, I might as well tell you.
Lord Feng Xu, in defying the heavens and changing fate, paid a great price in lifespan to ascend to the position of Golden Immortal.
Now, with his lifespan running out, this auction in Shifang City is his only gamble.
Outside Shifang City, Northwest Sea, in the Land of Ten Thousand Ruins, there is a legend of one of the Nine Gates, the Silver Gate.
The Silver Gate, an ancient and mysterious grand gate, controls the Power of Eternal Life.
If one could become the master of the Silver Gate, Lord Feng Xu could live as long as the heavens and earth, enjoying eternal life."
Northwest Sea, Silver Gate?!!!
Isn’t that a taboo that the Six Realms cannot touch?
Ting Yan was shocked inside, she had heard of the Nine Gates legend from the White Sun Cave master.
The Nine Gates are intangible, weightless, existing only in a Different Dimension invisible to mortals.
They are taboos unreachable by the gods, yet also the foundation supporting all things in the world.
Also a balance not to be disturbed.
If touched without permission, the balance of the Heavenly Dao will be unprecedentedly disrupted, and disasters from the Six Realms will descend upon all worlds.
The Nine Gates have always been Immortal Venerable Zhu Zhan’s biggest taboo!
This Golden Immortal Feng Xu, what he seeks is truly ambitious!
Ting Yan forced a smile and said, "Silver Gate? One has to be capable of crossing the Northwest Sea first. It’s said that Shifang City is an important stronghold guarding the Northwest Sea.
Even True Immortals and Heavenly Gods find it difficult to cross that boundless sea.
Northwest Sea, who knows how many God Demons lay buried there, I fear Lord Feng Xu’s plans might fall through."
Guan Yue fiddled with a small sinister purple censer on the table, sneering, "Do you know why Lord Feng Xu wanted to catch the Ying Dragon alive?"
Ting Yan’s pupils shrank!
The Ying Dragon is born with Spiritual Power, governing water across the Six Seas, in the barren Heavenly River of Ruishui River.
It can also soar with wings, exerting its spiritual might, merging with the wind and clouds, transcending the wilderness, lurking in the sky, shuttling between worlds, and holds the power to collapse the Nine Gates.
If the Ying Dragon could be used as a carrier, then the Northwest Sea would truly be negligible.
Yet Ting Yan grew more confused, "Since Lord Feng Xu already has the Ying Dragon, why not just ride the dragon, why auction it off?"
Zhou Qingrang laughed, "That Ying Dragon is still young, and when it was captured alive, its Dragon Horn was already lost, its strength lacking.
Its Divine Power isn’t enough to carry people across the Northwest Sea Domain, so auctioning it is the only option."
"Why say so?"
Lin Kun suddenly lifted his flushed face filled with desire from Ting Yan’s chest, with a sinister grin, he said, "In this world, things that can control the power of the sea aren’t limited to just the Ying Dragon.
The Northwest Sea harbors a demon known as the ’Dragon Fish Whale’, capable of moving with the wind and clouds, invisible beneath the deep sea abyss of ten thousand fathoms.
It is also the Guardian of the Silver Gate. If the Dragon Fish Whale can be drawn out, finding and leaving the Northwest Sea to seek the Silver Gate’s trail wouldn’t be difficult."
Dragon Fish Whale?!
Coincidentally, Ting Yan was not unfamiliar with this creature.
She knew, the Dragon Fish Whale was originally a fish whale, it is said to have swum through the Heavenly Gate, as the ancestor of the Ying Dragon soaring above the Nine Heavens, with its Dragon Tail cutting through the heavens and earth.
Brought back half transformed into a Dragon Fish Whale into the Mortal World within the Four Seas.
Since then, it has become an existence neither dragon, god, demon, or devil.
The Dragon Fish Whale resents the Ying Dragon deeply, in Ancient Times, if a young Ying Dragon roamed the Four Seas.
Should it carelessly wander into the Dragon Fish Whale’s territory, it would inevitably incur wrath and be devoured alive.
