I'm here in the martial arts world just to find love.

Gazing at the blood-soaked dragon tail, the group of martial arts masters and Taoist experts remained silent for a long time.

It was Zhao Wuji who broke the silence first.

The rather disheveled young Taoist priest didn't look at the powerful figures surrounding him, but instead looked at Jiang Yunyao, the Holy Maiden of the Moon Goddess Palace:

"Saintess Jiang, Young Hero Jiang asked me to pass on a message to you. He said you must keep this dragon tail safe, as it will be of great use to him when he comes up from below."

After he finished speaking, everyone present exchanged glances, and they all saw doubt in each other's eyes.

Could it be that this half of the dragon's tail did not belong to the Taoist priest in front of us?

Zhao Wuji's next words sent a chill down their spines.

Zhao Wuji: "Gentlemen, to be honest, this half of the dragon's tail was personally torn off by Young Hero Jiang from that evil dragon; it was not done by me."

After a pause, the young Taoist priest said in an admiring tone:

"Speaking of that young hero Jiang, he is truly a rare and outstanding young man! That monstrous dragon was incredibly ferocious, not only was it enormous in size, but it also possessed immense strength. Yet, young hero Jiang was fearless, fighting it alone. With just his bare fists, he defeated the monstrous dragon, whose scales were impervious to blades and spears, forcing it to retreat in disarray and flee in panic..."

Having traveled the martial arts world for so many years, Zhao Wuji naturally knew what these martial arts people liked to hear.

So he picked out what they wanted to hear and embellished his account of what he had seen and heard in the cave.

In reality, he may have exaggerated, but if these people had actually witnessed the shocking scene of the young man bravely fighting the evil dragon with brute force, they probably wouldn't have thought so.

They might even think that his description of the scene was too conservative.

Zhao Wuji also had his own plans. The martial arts techniques that the young man had suddenly developed were definitely his trump cards, and he wouldn't use them lightly unless it was a critical moment.

Therefore, he did not reveal the boy's trump cards, partly because the Moon Goddess, who shared the same lineage as Young Hero Jiang, was standing in front of him.

The girl looked delicate and gentle, but Zhao Wuji's Qi Observation Technique allowed him to clearly see the terrifying power hidden within her.

That power was completely different from that of ordinary martial artists, but rather resembled the moonlight that spills down from the sky on the night of the full moon each year.

Pure, clear, and vast.

Adding to the fact that the other party is backed by the Xuanmen Moon God Palace, Zhao Wuji dares not provoke them easily.

On the other hand, he wanted to use his words to remind everyone present not to covet the dragon's tail.

Judging from the gazes cast upon him when he carried the dragon's tail up, it's clear that many people here were secretly coveting the dragon's tail that had been torn from the strange beast.

Even those seemingly detached and undisturbed members of the Xuanmen sect, righteous martial arts families, and leaders of the Jianghu alliance are no exception.

After all, the legendary dragons are rare creatures of heaven and earth, and it was extremely difficult to even hear of them, let alone see them with one's own eyes.

Now, the tail of a dragon is laid out so brightly before us. Who could resist its allure?

Even he was no exception.

However, having witnessed the boy's terrifying side firsthand, he knew that no matter how much he coveted the item, he must not give in to greed, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

His trip wasn't in vain. Although he didn't manage to subdue the dragon as his master wished, he still gained a lot of merit, which was enough.

Greedy people are often poor, while content people are often happy.

But the people present were different. They not only came from different factions, but their own strength was also unfathomable.

Everyone possesses a certain amount of martial arts luck, as well as other opportunities and good fortune, which should not be underestimated.

As a nobody from an unknown Taoist temple, he was caught in the middle of these important figures. If he didn't choose a side in time, his days ahead would probably be very difficult.

Let alone escaping from here, there's a possibility that someone will secretly silence them afterwards.

Throughout his journey through the martial world, he encountered far too many hypocritical and sanctimonious people.

People who are often called gentlemen and heroes may be hiding many dirty deeds behind the scenes!

Judging from the martial arts talent that the boy displayed, he must have a powerful force behind him that is no less than anyone else present.

The other party's surname was Jiang. Considering the rumors about that martial arts grandmaster in the martial arts world, Zhao Wuji had actually guessed the boy's true identity a long time ago.

Son of Jiang Buwen, the Grandmaster of Martial Arts at Fengxue Temple.

That peerless swordsman, who wielded a single sword and roamed the world for over a decade, earning the title of "Sword Saint," was certainly not someone to be trifled with.

Jiang Yunyao didn't know what the Taoist was thinking, nor did she care. At this moment, the girl only wanted to know where her brother was and her own safety.

Finally, after the slovenly Taoist finished his boasting, Jiang Yunyao couldn't wait to ask:

"Where is my Ah Lang? Now that you've come up, and that dragon has escaped, why hasn't my Ah Lang come up? Is he seriously injured?"

The girl spoke urgently, as if she would rush down to save him without hesitation if he couldn't answer.

Zhao Wuji knew that this question would inevitably come.

He hurriedly explained, "Saintess Jiang, there's no need to worry. Young Hero Jiang is unharmed. He severed one of the dragon's tails, yet he himself is unharmed. However, Young Hero Jiang..."

The Taoist sighed.

"Young Master Jiang did not want to let the monster that had cut off its tail to survive go, and wanted to continue the pursuit. I tried to persuade him repeatedly, but he was still determined. I had no choice but to come up here first."

Jiang Yunyao stomped her foot. "That brat, what's he showing off for? Does he really think he's his father?"

"Gentlemen, please wait a little longer. I reckon Young Hero Jiang will be coming up soon. The underground river is crisscrossed with waterways, and that wicked dragon is probably no longer down there."

Although Jiang Yunyao felt a little worried, she didn't say anything more.

She knew her brother too well. Although he could be a bit unreliable at times, he would never take a joke when it came to matters of life and death.

That brat is the most afraid of dying.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to provoke his father back then, hoping to get his father to beat him up and toughen him up through his father's actions.

Presumably, this was to prevent being killed by someone they couldn't defeat when they went down the mountain to explore the world.

On the periphery of the crowd, the female knight-errant Chu was standing on tiptoe, straining to peer into the throng.

After she saw the half-dragon tail clearly, the girl's face paled slightly.

Even a broken tail gave her a tremendous shock.

It was as if it wasn't a severed tail, but a martial arts master with vigorous blood and abundant true energy, incomparable to any other!

After catching her breath, Lady Chu suppressed her worry for Jiang Qilin and whispered to Su E beside her:

"What is Jiang Qilin's intention in insisting on bringing up this legendary dragon's tail?"

Su E was silent for a moment before speaking:

"It must be... for food."

"What?"

The female knight was stunned and couldn't help but shiver.

Looking at Su E in horror, he said, "Are you...are you sure? Jiang Qilin has such unusual tastes?"

From a distance, she could smell that indescribable fishy stench. Could this thing be eaten?

"Dragons are creatures of heaven and earth, overlords of the water, and their entire bodies are treasures that can be used in medicine. Although they may have a fishy or pungent taste, they should be safe to eat. In fact, eating them can even improve one's constitution and strengthen one's body."

Su E's tone was unusually calm, as if she were talking about an ordinary little thing.

It was clearly her first time seeing this legendary ancient aquatic beast... part of it.

However, his tone was so certain.

She spoke with such certainty, as if she had tasted it herself.

The girl who heard this was shocked and nearly went crazy.

As for why she suddenly felt so frustrated, the girl herself wasn't quite sure.

Perhaps it was because Su E, who was a few years older than her, knew far more than she did.

It could also be because this woman, who had known Jiang Qilin much later than him, understood Jiang Qilin's thoughts better than he, a complete novice in the martial arts world.

In short, Lady Chu's mood suddenly turned terrible, absolutely terrible!
