Afterward, Fang Cangsong left, hurriedly heading to the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion.

After he was gone, the Demon King in the palace chuckled softly. "Someone else is doing our bidding again. Soon, we will be able to leave this forsaken place. Then, we shall reign supreme once more!"

「On the other side.」

Fang Cangsong finally arrived at the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion. Looking at the colossal structure ahead, he took a deep breath, concealed his presence, and carefully approached. When he got near the pavilion, he took out the Scroll, unfurled it, and then tossed it toward the building.

Once opened, the Scroll was revealed to be a painting. It depicted a giant dragon of awe-inspiring might and boundless Divine Power. However, a great serpent was entwined around the dragon’s body. The black serpent coiled around it like a set of black chains, restraining the dragon. Not only that, but a pair of black wings grew from the serpent’s back. When its wings spread, they were like dark clouds, trapping the dragon. The serpent’s head bit into the dragon, continuously devouring its dragon aura. The dragon struggled frantically, but it could not escape. Its dragon aura was rapidly consumed, leaving it on the verge of death. The scene was vividly lifelike.

The single glance at the image was seared into Fang Cangsong’s memory for eternity. The scene on the Scroll was simply too shocking.

So this is the Python-Sparrow Swallowing the Dragon? How terrifying.

He felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet, and even his Soul shivered.

This thing is so dreadful; it can surely deal with the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion.

When the Python-Sparrow Dragon-Swallowing Map appeared inside the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion, it immediately caught the attention of the disciples. One Disciple walked over. "What is this?"

As he approached, the Python-Sparrow in the painting instantly turned its head, glanced at him, and let out a hiss. With a flap of its wings, a black chain shot out and instantly bound the Disciple.

THUD.

The Disciple fell to the ground, his dragon aura relentlessly devoured by the chain. Before long, his face turned deathly pale and his aura diminished significantly.

The Python-Sparrow let out another piercing cry. Its wings danced, releasing beams of black light that transformed into countless chains, shooting in all directions. Whenever they encountered disciples of the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion, the chains would descend and bind them. One after another, cries of pain rang out as figures collapsed to the ground.

Soon, some of the powerful elders reacted. "What is happening?"

"Begone!" they roared, striking at the chains with their palms.

A deafening roar echoed and flames danced in the air, but it was useless. The black chains were too bizarre. As agile as giant serpents, they instantly wrapped themselves around the elders. Soon, they too were bound.

"This is bad!" an elder bellowed. "Someone is attacking our Dragon-Seeking Pavilion!"

The next moment, the entire Dragon-Seeking Pavilion was in an uproar.

Even the Pavilion Master was alerted. He rushed out and commanded sharply, "Activate the Array!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A world-shaking roar sounded as the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion’s Array activated, enveloping everything.

Hiding in the shadows, Fang Cangsong witnessed this scene and quickly retreated. Judging from the current situation, the Python-Sparrow Dragon-Swallowing Map was immensely terrifying.

It should be able to defeat the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion, but it will likely take some time. There’s no need for me to stay here.

He turned and left, planning to return after a while to investigate. At that time, he would clean up the mess and finish off the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion for good. Of course, he would not be idle during this period. He planned to spread the news that the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion was facing a great crisis, thereby prompting the Martial Artists outside to rush back.

Once those people return to the pavilion, they will be enveloped by the Python-Sparrow Dragon-Swallowing Map. Then, I can capture everyone in one fell swoop.

Soon, he spread the news that the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion was facing an immense crisis. The various great families and sects were abuzz with discussion. The Dragon-Seeking Pavilion was a top-tier power; who would dare to attack them? Most people didn’t believe it.

However, the Martial Artists from the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion furrowed their brows in worry. Some returned directly to investigate the situation, while others took out Sound Transmission Talismans to inquire.

For instance, the Grand Elder from the Ye Family, who was responsible for guarding their post, also received the news. He took out a Sound Transmission Talisman to send a message to the Pavilion Master, but the Pavilion Master did not respond.

The Grand Elder’s face darkened. What’s going on? Could the news be true? Could the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion really be in a crisis? I must go back and see.

Thinking this, the Grand Elder turned and left, returning to the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion.

He saw at a glance that the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion had activated its Guardian Grand Array.

What’s going on? Is there really a crisis?

He quickly rushed inside, shouting, "Pavilion Master, what’s happening?"

The Pavilion Master’s urgent voice came from inside. "Don’t come in!"

But it was already too late. The Grand Elder had already rushed in. The next moment, he witnessed an unbelievable scene. All the disciples and elders of the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion were lying on the ground. A black chain was bound to each of them, emitting a sinister glow. Their auras were weak, and they were all barely clinging to life.

Looking at the Pavilion Master, he saw a huge serpent coiled around him. That serpent even had a pair of black wings, making it look incredibly eerie.

What is this creature? What’s going on?

The Grand Elder still wanted to ask more, but suddenly, a black light shot toward him.

"Get back!" the Grand Elder roared. He waved his hands, unleashing a force like mountains and seas to attack the black light. However, the black light simply circled around, evading his attack, and landed on him.

The next moment, the Grand Elder felt his body tighten as his power was rapidly absorbed. When he came to his senses, he found a huge python coiled around him. It also had black wings and was incredibly bizarre.

What is this thing? A Demon Beast? Why have I never seen it before?

He wanted to struggle and fight back, unleashing his power to try and break free from the python, but it was futile. His power was draining away rapidly. The Grand Elder felt dizzy and unsteady. In a moment of daze, he collapsed to the ground.

How could this happen? The Grand Elder was bewildered. What kind of technique is this? It’s too terrifying.

The Pavilion Master’s face was filled with despair. He said, "You shouldn’t have come in."

At this moment, more exclamations arose from outside. Clearly, more disciples and elders of the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion had returned.

The Pavilion Master roared, "Don’t come in!"

Yet, some people still rushed in. After entering, they collapsed to the ground, bound by the chains. Of course, others heard the shout and immediately stopped, not entering. Yunxi was one of them.

Yunxi had also received the news and was concerned, so she had come back to check. Unexpectedly, as soon as she approached, she heard the Pavilion Master’s roar. She stopped at once and quickly shouted, "Pavilion Master, what’s going on? What happened inside? Why won’t you let me in?"

The Pavilion Master recognized Yunxi’s voice and immediately said, "You must leave! Do not come in! Our Dragon-Seeking Pavilion is being targeted."

"If you come in, you will be trapped here, never able to escape. You still have a slim chance outside."

What? The Dragon-Seeking Pavilion was being targeted! Yunxi’s expression changed dramatically. Are the Pavilion Master and the others in danger? How could this have happened? The Dragon-Seeking Pavilion is a top-tier force! We have several Grandmasters. With such a strong lineup, even other top-tier powers wouldn’t dare to attack us so easily. Who could place the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion in such a dangerous situation so quickly? Could the True Dragon Sect have made a move?

The Pavilion Master shook his head. "It’s not the True Dragon Sect. They also cultivate Dragon Dao Power, so they wouldn’t have such a technique. We’ve likely been targeted by the legendary Python-Sparrow Dragon-Swallowing Map."

"This thing specifically targets the Dragon Race, Dragon Warriors, and all Martial Artists who practice Dragon Dao Power. It can devour dragon aura!"

The Python-Sparrow Dragon-Swallowing Map. Yunxi felt her scalp go numb just hearing the name. The name alone told her how terrifying this scroll must be.

She asked, "Then what should we do? How can I save you all? Should I go and ask the True Dragon Sect for help?"

"The True Dragon Sect would be of no use. They can’t break the Python-Sparrow Dragon-Swallowing Map either. Only the legendary Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword can break this map."

"But unfortunately, the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword has been buried in Dragon Spirit Lake for thousands of years. No one can master it, so no one can save our Dragon-Seeking Pavilion."

"Yunxi, you must hurry and escape! Flee Dragon Island and do not return."

Yunxi had been on the verge of despair. Even the True Dragon Sect can’t help us? Then I’m afraid no one can save the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion.

But upon hearing the name ’Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword,’ she became excited, and hope rekindled in her eyes.

Yunxi said, "Pavilion Master, is it true that the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword can save you?"

"That’s right. But it’s a pity... no one can master this sword," the Pavilion Master sighed in despair.

But Yunxi said excitedly, "Pavilion Master, you’re wrong this time! Someone can wield the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword."

"I will go and ask him to save you now!"
