The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1316 Don't drag us into this!

Seeing that her entire body was pitch black, Long Ling almost lost her composure and went into a berserk state again.

With his somewhat rebellious nature, upon hearing the disdainful voice of the Demon-Sealing Tower's spirit, he immediately felt that the pitch-black color wasn't so unacceptable after all.

"You, who have no aesthetic sense and can't even distinguish your own body from your body, had better shut your stinking mouth!"

Having been stabbed in the lungs, Long Ling, being a vengeful person, knew exactly where to stab the spirit of the Demon-Locking Tower that would hurt the most.

Sure enough, the spirit of the Demon-Sealing Tower also broke through its defenses.

I'll fight you to the death!!!

The enormous dragon shadow that the Dragon Spirit had just reassembled was weakened again by the interference of the Demon Locking Tower's spirit.

It looked like it was about to fall apart at any moment.

Enraged by the inappropriate antics of the Demon-Sealing Tower's spirit, a sentence immediately popped into Long Ling's mind.

'If you don't raise them yourself, you can't really tame them; they always let you down at the crucial moment.'

If the little paper doll or the ginseng fruit were here, this would never have happened.

Even if they fight to the death, or are arguing one second, if anyone dares to offend them, the next second they will become the strongest ally.

The more Long Ling thought about it, the angrier she became, and the less she liked the spirit of the Demon Locking Tower.

Yun Ran's decision to break the contractual control over this guy back then was indeed prescient.

"Hmph, you dog, if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know what it means for the Dragon King to be so wrathful that millions will die!"

Another dragon roar rang out, and the dragon spirit unleashed its full power, completely merging with the black dragon's essence.

The enormous dragon-shaped phantom solidified again, and its huge dragon eyes instantly turned into vertical pupils, making it look exceptionally terrifying.

Even the aura emanating from his entire body changed.

If someone familiar with Long Ling were here at this moment, they would be greatly surprised to see the sinister and ruthless aura emanating from him.

The spirit of the Demon-Sealing Tower was also startled by the change in the Dragon Spirit.

It truly did not expect that simply by fusing with the black dragon spirit that had been corrupted by violent energy, the dragon spirit would undergo such a drastic change.

It was as if they had completely transformed into another kind of being.

Long Ling seized the moment when the spirit of the Demon-Locking Tower was stunned and locked it back up.

"This time, you won't be allowed to sneak out again without my permission!"

Demon-Sealing Tower Spirit: ...

So it turns out it was its fault for being startled awake, especially since it had just helped separate the violent energy from the dragon essence.

Even if it got a bit temperamental and started fighting without considering the situation, it shouldn't be so quick to abandon its support.

Unfortunately, the spirit of the Demon-Sealing Tower didn't have time to express anything before being locked in a dark room by the Dragon Spirit, leaving it as a frustrated mute.

Having dealt with the mischievous spirits of the Demon-Sealing Tower, Long Ling coldly stared at the air cage that had trapped her with her golden vertical pupils.

It raised its claws again, and then, with lightning speed, fiercely grabbed at the air.

At the same moment, his tail also lashed out into the air in the same direction.

A sharp "snap" sound rang out.

The seemingly sturdy air cage swayed even further than before.

The Azure Dragon, guarding outside, was unaware that while the Dragon Spirit was attacking the air cage, it was also diverting some of its energy to fight the spirit of the Demon-Locking Tower. All he saw was that this great demon, who had already cultivated into human form, was far stronger than he had anticipated.

If any other members of the Xuanmen sect were to come here today, they would only be killed.

The people of the temple rarely descend the mountain, but when they do, they have never failed.

Especially those who were chosen as servants of the gods from childhood, it can be said that, apart from the high priest, they are the strongest in terms of combat power.

But now, the dragon spirit feels particularly troublesome to him.

What made Qinglong even more uneasy was that there seemed to be another force hiding in this stronghold.

He could only vaguely sense it, but couldn't quite grasp it.

At his level, perception is essentially equivalent to precognition.

There are only two possibilities when something can be vaguely perceived but not captured.

The first possibility is that the power completely overwhelmed him; the second possibility is that the owner of that power did not intend to kill him.

Qinglong's inner thoughts lean more towards the second scenario.

In this world, those who are stronger than him might be able to make a fortune, but those who can easily crush him are few and far between.

With potential threats from the outside and the uncontrollable nature of the Dragon Spirit from within, the Azure Dragon is truly in a difficult situation.

Dragon Spirit made several more attacks, and the air cage shook more and more violently, but there wasn't a single crack.

Others may not know the power of his attacks, but he knows it himself.

If this happened outside, these few blows would probably have easily destroyed a mountain range.

At this moment, Long Ling also felt a sense of dread towards the temple. Could it be that he was really doomed today?

No wonder Yun Ran was so cautious; she hid outside so early!
Based on a lack of understanding of the combat strength and capabilities of both sides, both Long Ling and Qinglong are clearly overthinking things.

The sky gradually darkened.

But whether they were originally from the stronghold or came in with the young prince, they all knew very well that this standoff would continue for a long time.

The heads of the families in Meicheng immediately ordered their men to prepare the best food, clothing, and lodging for the people brought by the young prince.

Some distance from the reception hall, several people from different outposts were quietly chirping crickets in the shadows.

"Do you think Mr. Long can pull through this time? If he can't, will our identities be exposed?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Everyone be careful these next few days. Don't give anything away. No matter what happens, just don't admit anything!"

"What about Ma San? That kid doesn't look like a good person at all; he's got a sinister aura about him. Why don't we take this opportunity to get rid of him first..."

"You're going to die? How can you say that? If you want to die, don't drag us down with you!"

Someone quickly covered the mouth of the man who suggested killing Ma San, their face filled with horror.

If they kill Ma San now to lessen their own suspicion, they will be the first to be punished when the divine envoy returns.

Even if they hadn't personally experienced the methods used by those in the Dark Palace, they still had some understanding of them.

Falling into the hands of those people would truly be worse than death.

The person who spoke did so in a moment of passion, blurting out the words unconsciously, but immediately regretted it.

Fortunately, his companions were all smart enough not to be swayed by his thoughtless words.
