Primordial Era: I, Huanglong, have refined all the heavens, and will not join the Chan Sect.

Chapter 47 Five Elements Spirits and Ghosts, the Water Ghost Clan

Could it be...?

"Among these beings, is there the opportunity for this seed to sprout?"

"Or perhaps, their affairs are related to the Witch Clan?"

Huanglong, holding the Netherworld Umbrella, concealed himself in the sea, gazing at the group of special races above who had no physical bodies but only divine souls, and fell into deep thought.

In other circumstances, given Huanglong's current cultivation level as a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and with the protection of the West Sea Dragon King, he would be in a much better position.

Saving these uniquely shaped creatures from a group of Blackwater Serpents led by Taiyi Golden Immortals was not a big deal.

However, the problem is that this group of Blackwater Serpents is carrying the banner of the Temple of the Sun.

These black water serpents are from the Temple of the Sun. If we rashly make a move now, wouldn't that be going against the Temple of the Sun?

Even with the protection of the West Sea Dragon King, Huanglong did not want to offend the Sun God Temple too early. In an era when no saints appeared, Donghuang Taiyi could be said to be the ceiling of combat power in the prehistoric world.

However, these creatures may be related to the hatching of seeds, or even to matters concerning the witch clan.

If we don't intervene and let these creatures be killed, it will likely result in huge losses.

"These creatures cannot die!"

After careful consideration, Huang Long decided to take action to save these creatures.

However, there is an important prerequisite for this action: the Temple of the Sun must not find out about it.

As long as the Temple of the Sun is unaware of this matter, it will naturally not offend Donghuang Taiyi.

Therefore, the rescue method of repelling or killing the Blackwater Serpent is absolutely not feasible.

Whether we repel or kill the Blackwater Serpent, it will attract the attention of the higher-ups of the Temple of the Sun, and sooner or later there will be a risk of exposure.

The best approach would be to make the Blackwater Serpent believe that it had killed the group, and then, through them, inform the higher-ups of the Temple of the Sun.

In this way, there will be no possibility of exposure.

After all, among these beings, the highest cultivation level was only the mid-stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal. Once a Daluo Golden Immortal learned of their deaths, he wouldn't pay much attention to the matter.

Fortunately, Huanglong had a way to do just that.

Having made his decision, Huang Long no longer hesitated. He immediately used the Netherworld Umbrella as the array's core to set up the Mirage Illusion.

Unbeknownst to them, all living beings in this sea area were drawn into an illusion.

To prevent any accidents, Huanglong also took out the Taiyin Cold Moon Diagram and activated the laws of illusion and reality within it.

A phantom full moon appeared on the sea, casting a hazy moonlight that made the illusion even more real.

With the blessing of the two innate spiritual treasures, the Mirage Illusion Formation became even more mysterious and unpredictable.

All the creatures within the mirage were unaware that they were trapped in an illusion, and were doing what Huanglong had set up.

In the eyes of all the Blackwater Serpents, the group of creatures in front of them seemed to know that there was no hope of escape. Their eyes were all bloodshot, and they fought back fiercely under the leadership of their leader.

The difference in strength between the two sides was too great. In no time, the Blackwater Serpent easily killed all of its opponents with overwhelming power.

Finally, the Blackwater Serpent took out the spiritual treasure bestowed by the Temple of the Sun and surveyed its surroundings.

After confirming that no one had escaped, they swam away from there and headed to the Sun God Temple's headquarters in the Western Sea to report back.

After all the Blackwater Serpents had gone far away, Huanglong broke the formation and appeared in front of the group of special creatures that resembled ghosts.

These creatures, like the Blackwater Serpent, were unaware that they had fallen into an illusion.

They only felt a blur before their eyes, and when they regained consciousness, there was a young Taoist priest in front of them wearing a yellow Taoist robe and with two dragon horns on his head.

As for the group of black water snakes behind them, they had already disappeared.

Even if these creatures were stupid, they would know that the disappearance of the Blackwater Serpent was inextricably linked to the young Taoist in front of them.

"We will always remember your life-saving grace, senior. However, we are powerless to repay your kindness."

"Furthermore, our Water Ghost Clan has offended the Temple of the Sun, bringing about the extermination of our clan. If we were to follow you, senior, we might bring you trouble."

"We can only remember your kindness in our hearts. If fate allows, even if we are separated by thousands of mountains and seas, we will return to repay your life-saving grace today!"

A water ghost at the mid-stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm stepped forward from the crowd and bowed deeply before Huanglong.

He was well aware that given the current situation of the Water Ghost Clan, following Huang Long would only bring trouble to Huang Long and attract the attention of the Temple of the Sun.

In his view, it would be a very unwise choice to make enemies of the Temple of the Sun for the sake of a water ghost clan whose highest cultivation level was no more than Taiyi Golden Immortal.

It's unlikely that any living being would willingly do such a thing.

However, Huanglong had gone to such great lengths; how could he possibly let these water ghosts leave? If they did, wouldn't today's events be exposed?

Moreover, since these water ghosts are so reasonable, Huanglong is even less likely to let them leave.

Even if these water ghosts can't make the seeds germinate, and are of no use to the affairs of the witch clan, subduing such a group of reasonable water ghosts is not a bad thing.

Even if things don't go well, having them manage the daily affairs of Yunmeng Immortal Island would be a good option.

"There's no need to worry. In the eyes of the Blackwater Serpent, you are already dead. As long as you don't show yourselves in the primordial world, you don't need to worry about being hunted down by the Temple of the Sun."

"Thank you so much, senior! Thank you so much, senior!"

Upon hearing Huang Long's explanation, the Water Ghost Clan was overjoyed and bowed deeply to Huang Long in gratitude, at a loss for words for a moment.

Since offending the Temple of the Sun, all the survivors of the Water Ghost Clan have been living day by day.

If they could leave behind one or two descendants for the Water Ghost clan during their escape, they would be content.

They never expected that they would encounter Huanglong during their escape, who would completely solve the pursuit by the Temple of the Sun. How could they not be happy?

Huang Long did not shy away from the Water Ghost Clan's grand ceremony of thanks; it was something he deserved, and he was perfectly capable of accepting such a small race's gesture of gratitude.

Once the water ghosts had calmed down a bit, Huang Long asked in a deep voice:

"I am Huanglong, and your water ghost clan is destined to follow me. Are you willing to follow me?"

"Thank you, senior. We are willing, we are willing!"

Now that the threat of the Temple of the Sun is gone, they naturally will not refuse Huanglong's proposal.

There was just one thing they couldn't understand: their Water Ghost clan had no cultivation, no spiritual roots, and no spiritual treasures, so why did Huanglong take them in?

If we had to pinpoint something that could be considered respectable, it would be that our ancestors once followed the Nine Netherworld Ghost Mother and were members of the Five Elements Spirit Ghosts, making us a race that existed since ancient times.

But would anyone really risk offending the Temple of the Sun to help them resolve this life-or-death crisis because of this fabricated title?

Although they had many questions, they did not think that following Huanglong would be a bad thing.

Even if things got worse, they would still die. Without Huanglong's help, they would have died sooner or later in the pursuit of the Temple of the Sun.

Huang Long had no intention of explaining, nor did he inquire further about the Water Ghost Clan.

This was not a safe place after all. After the water ghosts nodded in agreement, Huanglong waved his hand and used the "Hidden Universe in Sleeves" technique to collect all the water ghosts into his sleeve.

Afterwards, he erased the traces he left behind and, holding the Netherworld Umbrella, continued flying towards the Cloud Dream Immortal Island.

However, what he didn't know was that thousands of kilometers away, a white figure was silently watching this place.

"He's cautious in his actions, but his cultivation level is a bit lacking. Does my life really depend on him? Or is it...?"

"My lifeline actually lies with the dragons? But the dragons have declined; how can they give me a chance to live?"
