Chapter 94 The Little Snake Recognizes Its Master
A hint of guilt flashed in the depths of Venerable Danhua's eyes as he looked at Venerable Miaoyin, who was still out of sorts, and said:

"Miaoyin, do not believe its words. How dare an evil being presume to break free from its shackles? Can Heaven tolerate such an evil being?"

Venerable Miaoyin snapped out of her daze, looked at Gu Shihan, and a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes.

Just now, when they were slightly distracted, Gu Shihan was accidentally injured. The purpose of that strange thing was obviously to disturb their minds. Even a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator like himself could be bewitched.

The raging red lotus fire lasted for nearly fifteen minutes before the struggling black egg finally stopped moving.

Immediately afterwards, a crisp "snap" sound rang out, and the black shell peeled off, revealing a snake about a foot long and entirely white.

Gu Shihan's expression was solemn, and he dared not let his guard down in the slightest. He manipulated the Red Lotus Karmic Fire in his hands to form an encirclement, tightly trapping the snake inside.

Upon closer inspection, this so-called "snake" is not quite accurate, because the large bulge on its head looks particularly unusual, as if it hides some kind of mysterious power.

Then, something unexpected happened. The little snake seemed to have an extreme aversion to the black eggshell.

It wriggled its little body, struggling to push against the black shell towards the direction of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, while making a childish yet furious sound: "Burn you to death! Burn you to death! How dare you imprison this little one!"

This sudden turn of events left the people present somewhat bewildered, completely frozen in shock.

Seeing this, Venerable Danhua gave Gu Shihhan a subtle wink. Gu Shihhan immediately understood, cleared her throat, and asked, "What exactly are you? Why do you say you're imprisoned here?"

The small, exquisite snake then placed its black shell into the blazing flames.

"Ah!~~~" In an unknown place, a cloud of black mist, enraged, seemed to have suffered some injury and rapidly thinned out...

Upon hearing this, the little snake stared intently at Gu Shihan with its bright little eyes.

He muttered indignantly, "Hmph, that wretched dragon actually tried to turn me into its lackey while I was asleep! It used an extremely evil blood sacrifice to erode the precious dragon energy in my body, attempting to implant those cruel and monstrous factors into me!"

Hearing this, Gu Shihan frowned and asked suspiciously, "Are you really not a demonic dragon? You wouldn't be making up these lies to deceive me, would you?"

Upon hearing this, the little snake puffed out its cheeks in anger and said irritably, "Why would I lie to you? Oh dear, things have come to this point, so I have no choice but to find another way out. I've been thinking about finding a suitable master for myself. But look at you guys, sigh, none of you are meant to be with me!"

Gu Shihan was even more puzzled after hearing this, and then asked, "Looking for a master? As far as I know, aren't beings like you unwilling to easily acknowledge a master?"

At this moment, the little snake raised its head and replied proudly, "I'm no ordinary snake! I'm a supremely noble dragon! The fact that I've appeared here means that something terrible has happened to this world! And every time I appear, it's with a great mission!"

As the little snake spoke, it deliberately swayed its slender body, as if to show everyone its uniqueness and noble status.

The gazes of Venerable Danhua and Venerable Miaoyin met, and they understood each other perfectly. At the same time, a name appeared in their minds—Shi Qinghan. The reason was simple: Shi Qinghan's golden core phenomenon was a dragon shadow.

At this moment, Gu Shihan looked at Venerable Danhua and Venerable Miaoyin and said, "Master, Uncle! It would be such a pity to kill this little snake like this. If someone from our Five Flowers Sect could successfully recognize this snake as their master, that would undoubtedly be a good thing. Moreover, we can't sense any bloodlust from it, so it's probably not an evil creature."

Hearing Gu Shihan's words, Venerable Miaoyin turned to Qingluo beside her and asked, "Qingluo, don't you want to try forming a contract with this little guy who might be a dragon?"

Qinglu shook her head without hesitation and replied, "No! Martial Uncle, I already have my own contracted beast, and I really don't have the energy to take care of others. Besides, I can't afford to raise so many! I think Mochen is quite suitable. Have you forgotten? His Golden Core Celestial Phenomenon has a dragon shadow."

Venerable Miaoyin nodded in agreement: "Yes, we did think of him just now. We just don't know if his temperament is stable enough, and whether his luck can suppress this not-so-simple little thing?"

Gu Shihan quickly said, "Don't worry, Uncle-Master. Mo Chen's luck is pretty good, and he's calm and reliable. There shouldn't be any problems."

As he spoke, he continued to manipulate the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, tightly enveloping the little snake within it.

"Then let's take it back to the sect! Let Mo Chen give it a try!" Venerable Danhua made a decisive decision, his tone firm.

Upon hearing this, Venerable Miaoyin smiled slightly and swiftly pulled out an exquisite spirit beast pouch from her bosom. She gently waved the pouch, chanting incantations, and an invisible force swept towards the small snake, attempting to capture it.

However, at this critical moment, the little snake suddenly twisted its body nimbly, leaped up like lightning, and drew a beautiful arc in the air.

In a flash, it transformed into a small, exquisite bracelet, which securely encircled Gu Shihan's slender wrist. "Little snake, what are you doing?" Gu Shihan was startled by this sudden turn of events and couldn't help but cry out in alarm.

She stared wide-eyed at the snake bracelet on her wrist, her mind filled with doubt and surprise.

Danhua Venerable, who was standing to the side, slowly withdrew his hand, which had been aimed at the little snake, upon seeing that the little snake had not attacked Gu Shihan.

Seeing this, Venerable Miaoyin merely glanced at the snake bracelet, then reached out and grabbed Gu Shihan's sleeve. With a light tap of her feet on the ground, the three of them vanished without a trace, like ghosts. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at Immortal Sword Peak.

Upon arriving at Immortal Sword Peak, Venerable Miaoyin waved her hand, and a sound transmission talisman flew out.

Not long after, Shi Qinghan received the transmission talisman and immediately used his lightness skill to quickly arrive at the main hall of Immortal Sword Peak.

Upon entering the main hall, Shi Qinghan respectfully bowed and greeted his master and Venerable Danhua, then stood quietly to one side, awaiting instructions.

Just then, the snake bracelet that had been quietly coiled on Gu Shihan's wrist seemed to sense something and suddenly trembled slightly.
