The sun was shining brightly and the blue sky was clear.
A red light streaked across the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Even if someone noticed it occasionally, they wouldn’t be able to see its true appearance.
Qiong Qi’s speed could be described with one word.
Fast, extremely fast!
As expected of a veteran Holy Spirit, its ranking among the Holy Spirits was extremely high. Although it was not as high as the Dragon and Phoenix, amongst the Holy Spirits, the word Winged Tiger was a famous name.
What was rare was that Qiong Qi’s back was extremely spacious. Yang Kai and Mo Xiaoqi were sitting opposite each other, so it wasn’t crowded at all. On Qiong Qi’s back was a thick animal skin blanket laid out by Mo Xiaoqi. Sitting on it, she chatted happily with Yang Kai.
The last time he had met Mo Xiaoqi was in the Star Fragments Sea. That time, Mo Xiaoqi had been enraged and the seal on her face had been released, nearly causing her to go berserk. It was Zhang Ruoxi who had come to suppress him.
Many years had passed since then.
However, as time passed, friendship grew. Since Mo Xiaoqi was born, she had spent most of her time on Spirit Beast Island. The first time she had quietly left home, she had met Yang Kai in the Southern Domain, so naturally she regarded him as her only friend.
In fact, Yang Kai was quite curious about how Mo Xiaoqi had managed to escape from the Eastern Region to the Southern Region back then. At that time, her strength was not high, so how could she have traversed such a long distance without anyone escorting her?
Now that he thought about it, it was likely that Li Wuyi and Jiu Feng had been secretly protecting her. Only this little girl thought she had successfully run away from home and was still quite pleased with herself.
Mo Xiaoqi’s life experience was quite limited, but Yang Kai had traveled far and wide, so he was quite knowledgeable. Naturally, he was able to talk about a lot of things, but most of the time it was Yang Kai who talked about it. Mo Xiaoqi held her face with both hands and listened quietly with great interest.
Speaking of the old swindler they had met in Maplewood City all those years ago, the two of them suddenly burst into laughter.
Back then, the two of them really had eyes but failed to see. The Great Emperor Hongchen had transformed into an old man, but he had been treated as a swindler by them and even held a grudge against him.
However, as time passed, Yang Kai clearly noticed that Mo Xiaoqi’s mood had changed somewhat, becoming tense, expectant, and hesitant. This phenomenon became more obvious as they approached Dragon Island.
Obviously, she was also extremely nervous. This time, she was going to Dragon Island to see her mother, so she didn’t know how to face this woman who had given birth to her but she had never met before.
In the end, the little girl had become extremely silent. Even though Yang Kai was deliberately trying to find some interesting topics to tease her about, he could only force a smile.
Yang Kai didn’t have any good ideas about this and could only let her adjust her mood.
Qiong Qi naturally recognized the road to Dragon Island, so Yang Kai didn’t need to use the Dragon Island Token to confirm its location.
A few days later, on the Blue Wave Sea, Qiong Qi landed on a small island.
“Is this the island closest to Dragon Island?” Yang Kai looked around and asked casually.
Qiong Qi replied, “Reporting to Young Lord, there is no other island within a thousand kilometer radius.”
He didn’t know why Yang Kai was looking for such a small island, but since Yang Kai had given him instructions, he would follow them.
“En, let’s do it here,” Yang Kai nodded and jumped down from Qiong Qi’s back with Mo Xiaoqi. After scanning the area with his Divine Sense, he found a suitable place.
“Big Brother Yang, what are you doing here?” Mo Xiaoqi looked around curiously. There were countless small islands like this on the sea, and there was nothing special about them, nor were there any rare treasures. However, Yang Kai had asked Qiong Qi to find a place like this first.
“Set up a Space Array,” Yang Kai explained.
The situation of Dragon Island and the Mysterious Boundary Bead was the same. It was a world of its own with its own World Laws, so even if Yang Kai set up a Space Array inside Dragon Island, it would not be able to connect with other Space Arrays, because Dragon Island’s World was isolated from the outside world.
Yang Kai estimated that in the future, he would have to deal with Dragon Island. The distance between them was too great, so it would be inconvenient for him to travel here. If he left a Space Array here, it would be much easier for him to travel in the future.
Although he still had to hurry, it was better than flying all the way from the Wild Ancient Land.
Mo Xiaoqi nodded. Although she didn’t understand Yang Kai’s intentions, she didn’t ask anything and simply followed behind him obediently.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at a cave. This cave should have been formed naturally and was located on the side of the small island near the sea, extending all the way to the inside of the small island.
The interior was dry, but it was a natural shelter.
Yang Kai immediately got busy, and Mo Xiaoqi also helped out, but she only helped out in the end. Yang Kai didn’t blame her and instead gave her a lot of encouragement, allowing her mood to recover.
More than half a day later, a brand new Space Array had been set up. Yang Kai inspected it to make sure there were no problems before leading Mo Xiaoqi out of the cave.
Sitting back on Qiong Qi’s back, the old man flapped his wings and asked, “Young Lord, are we really going to Dragon Island?”
Yang Kai smiled, “What, are you afraid?”
Qiong Qi bared his teeth and said, “I’m not afraid, but that damned Dragon Island… it’s too xenophobic, Young Lord should be careful.”
What he was actually curious about was what kind of relationship Yang Kai had with the Dragon Race. When he saw Yang Kai transform into a 100 meter long dragon body, he knew that Yang Kai possessed the Dragon Race’s bloodline, but the Dragon Race hated existences with impure bloodlines. This kind of hatred was even greater than their hatred for other races.
If Yang Kai really had the bloodline of a Half Dragon, it would be best if he could avoid the Dragon Race forever, so why would he want to rush into Dragon Island? Wasn’t he walking right into a trap?
Qiong Qi wanted to remind Yang Kai that there was a Half Dragon City on Dragon Island, where many existences with half dragon bloodlines lived. Although they seemed powerful, they were actually placed under house arrest on Dragon Island. When the Dragon Race needed them, they would bring them to Dragon Island to release their blood and cultivate the Dragon Blood Flower.
If Yang Kai went, he might end up trapped in Half Dragon City and be taken away to bleed.
Using a half dragon’s bloodline to transform into a hundred meter long dragon body, this could release a lot of blood…
Although he didn’t like Yang Kai using him as a mount, if Yang Kai really fell into Dragon Island and lost his freedom, Spirit Beast Island would definitely come after him again. For his own sake, he had to remind Yang Kai.
Yang Kai grinned, “Even if they try to drive this Young Lord away, they won’t be able to. If they provoke this Young Lord, they’ll all be beaten up.”
Hearing this, Qiong Qi couldn’t help but roll his eyes, thinking that this newly acknowledged Young Lord really knew how to boast. Although his strength was extraordinary and he could even fight with a fellow like Cang Mo, what kind of place was Dragon Island?
That place was the gathering place of the Dragon Race, where more than ten or twenty Great Dragons resided. Even if this old master went there, he would have to hold back a little, otherwise he would definitely be beaten up and thrown out of Dragon Island.
This was especially true for the two old dragons, Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun. If they really went all out, even the Great Emperor wouldn’t be able to deal with them in a short time, and he definitely wouldn’t be a match for them. You want to beat them up with just your strength? What kind of joke is this? This old master has lived for so many years, but this is the first time I’ve heard such a refreshing and refined boast.
“What? You don’t believe me?” Yang Kai seemed to have noticed Qiong Qi’s thoughts and asked.
Qiong Qi replied, “Of course I do, why wouldn’t I? Young Lord’s Divine Ability is unparalleled, what does a mere Dragon Race count for?”
“It seems you don’t believe me,” Yang Kai sneered, his eyes flashing as he asked, “If I can take care of those Dragon Race masters, what will you do?”
Qiong Qi’s eyes widened, “If Young Lord can really accomplish this, this old master will sincerely recognize you as his Young Lord. In the future, if Young Lord has any orders, this old master will not dare to disobey.”
“Hmph…” Yang Kai said sarcastically, “From what you’ve said, you don’t really want me to be your Young Lord?”
Qiong Qi shook his head and said, “The situation is forcing me, i have no choice. Young Lord is a wise man, why make things so clear?”
Yang Kai nodded, “You’re quite honest. If you really were willing to obey me, I would suspect that you have some other purpose.”
“Heh heh, Young Lord, please don’t blame me, this old master doesn’t have a choice, but if you can really make those Dragon Race members submit to you, you will have the qualifications to become this old master’s master. Following you won’t be a disgrace to this old master,” Qiong Qi paused for a moment before continuing, “But if Young Lord can’t do it, this old master only has one request.”
“Speak!”
Qiong Qi smiled and said, “In the future, don’t use this old master as a mount. Although this old master has been a mount for many years, now that this old master is so old, he should at least consider some face.”
“Alright!” Yang Kai nodded.
Qiong Qi’s expression changed and he was overjoyed. This little brat’s breath was like the wind blowing across the sky. This time, he was definitely going to lose. Although he didn’t reject following Yang Kai, he was still a bit unwilling to let Yang Kai use him as a mount.
The POT Great Emperor was the POT Great Emperor. Although you had cultivated the Time Flies Seal and understood a little of the Time Laws, you could barely be considered a successor to POT Great Emperor, how could you compare to him?
“Young Lord, Dragon Island is right below, you two sit tight,” Qiong Qi suddenly shouted as his huge body swooped down towards the sea below.
Before he arrived, the seawater had already parted to reveal a circular passage that led to the bottom of the sea.
As they sped along, not even a drop of water touched their bodies.
Suddenly, a huge Void Tunnel appeared in the depths of the sea, connecting to an unknown place.
Yang Kai had experienced such a scene before, so he naturally knew that the Void Tunnel was connected to Dragon Island. If he hadn’t used the Dragon Island Token to locate it last time, he probably wouldn’t have thought that the entrance to Dragon Island was beneath the sea.
This was obviously not the first time Qiong Qi had come to Dragon Island, so he did not hesitate to dive into the Void Tunnel. In an instant, the surrounding seawater disappeared, replaced by a chaotic void.
Even the surrounding space and time seemed to have frozen.
“En?” Qiong Qi suddenly cried out in surprise, because this Void Tunnel gave him a sense of danger. This was not the case when he entered last time, and when he looked around, he could not find an exit.
In an instant, his expression became tense. If he lost his way in the void, he would be finished.
