Mountain Patrol Military Officer

Chu Xiangyu's heart was shaken. Listening to the elder say, if it weren't for the permission of that young master, they wouldn't have been able to enter this place. Could it be the young master's methods?

However, she glimpsed the young master's profile, youthful and noble, with a hint of laziness, causing her heart to be filled with doubt and suspicion.

She couldn't help but speculate that this young master had an extraordinary background, and that elder was the Protector by his side, leading him to speak such words!

Seeing their fearless demeanor, she couldn't help but let her mind wander. Either this young master had astonishing background power, not fearing any trouble from the Old Flood Dragon of the Bailong River, or the powerful Divine Skills of the elder who guided her and her fellow disciples here.

In any case, witnessing the astonishing surroundings while their area remained unharmed, Chu Xiangyu felt much more at ease and transmitted her voice to calm her two junior brothers.

At this time, the mountain was turning upside down, with birds and beasts flying, and various Erlang's infantry and members of the Water Clan searching every corner of the mountain, yet finding nothing.

The Red Flood Dragon in the sky grew increasingly restless, using Mountain Shattering and Sea Overturning to stir up massive waves in the distant Bailong River, constantly roaming and roaring restlessly.

Just as the white mist around the mountain was about to shift to the next location, two brilliant streams of light flew from the Southwest, like a long rainbow piercing the sun, shooting straight into the rolling dark clouds stirred by the Red Flood Dragon.

When the two streams of light subsided, they revealed two figures, a man and a woman, dressed in white Feather Robes with black and white crowns on their heads, expressionless.

Upon seeing these two, the Red Flood Dragon spoke something unknown, and its violent red eyes, eager to devour people, became somewhat respectful and human-like.

Then, the two clad in white feathers gazed at the mountains below. One of them solemnly cast out a purple stream of light with a hand, striking downward.

A mirror appeared in the purple light, floating in the purple mist, while the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi began to converge towards it.

After casting it out, the man and the woman simultaneously performed a spell with their hands, controlling the mirror to enlarge with the wind, growing to about thirty yards wide, the space emitting visible ripples and a great buzzing sound.

As the buzzing grew louder, the mirror's surface slowly turned downward, and the speed of the surrounding Heaven and Earth Essence Qi's convergence increased.

About a dozen breaths later, when the mirror absorbed Essence Qi to a certain threshold, it suddenly emitted a "boom" and let out a dragon roar.

The next second, the giant mirror flew autonomously towards the mountains below at incredible speed.

It circled and spiraled several times, eventually hovering over the mountainside of a mountain.

Yet, the mirror merely spun around, like a bird entering a foggy forest, resembling a headless fly.

Two streams of light flew down, and the man and woman descended, seeing the abnormal state of the Dragon Mirror, exchanging a glance.

Then, the two shouted simultaneously, casting a spell light to envelop the Dragon Mirror, stabilizing it.

Soon after, a strange hissing sound arose, and a fierce image of a large black serpent appeared in the purple mirror, hissing downward, trying to break free.

"It is below!"

Seeing the Dragon Mirror like this, the man and woman who arrived snorted coldly, mustered all their True Qi, and injected it into the spell.

A loud buzzing sound emitted, and the Dragon Mirror shot a purple light down into the mountain forest!

At that moment, an unexpected change occurred.

A white hand formed from mist emerged abruptly, smashing the purple light before grabbing at the mirror.

Feeling the danger, the Dragon Mirror, as if it had intelligence, autonomously unleashed a purple radiance, resisting the grasp of the hand.

A sound like the clash of metal and iron came from within, dragon roars resounded, shaking the void, the sonic waves containing deadly intent.

The misty hand was diminished but still forcibly grasped the Dragon Mirror, quickly retreating.

The white mist below dispersed, revealing a platform suspended at the mountainside.

There was a bonfire burning, with people and horses present.

The horse leisurely chewed on grass, while a person sat before the bonfire roasting meat, their face beneath the conical hat obscured by the light, not even lifting his head. Two people sat at a low table drinking, while three others sat at the platform's corners, standing up, gazing at the sky with cautious eyes, reaching for their swords.

In front of the low table, a middle-aged man wearing a crimson robe, with strands of silver mixed in his black hair, meticulously combed, was currently holding a small exquisite mirror, carefully observing it.

The mirror was entirely made of a piece of purple metal, engraved with intricate dragon patterns, extraordinary, currently vibrating and humming in Xu Shaoqing's hand, trying to leap out.

However, a colorful radiance rose from Xu Shaoqing's hand, encapsulating the small mirror, yet his hand still shook, struggling to hold it firmly.

"This mirror appears quite capable, even I feel it's tricky to handle."

"It's imbued within it the Universe, with powerful malevolent energy."

"Chen Longhu, take a look and capture it!"

Xu Shaoqing had initially seized the mirror because it unexpectedly found their location, piquing his interest, but the mirror was difficult to control, revealing nothing remarkable to him.

Saying this, Xu Shaoqing completely ignored the man and woman descending and nonchalantly tossed the mirror towards Chen Yuan.

The mirror immediately resembled an untamed horse, wanting to soar into the sky, but Chen Yuan reached out and caught it.

At this moment, the man and woman descending from the sky sharply shouted,

"Audacious!"

"How dare you covet our sect's treasure mirror!"
