"Wow…"
Lu Li himself was in shock as well.
He knew that there was a silver dragon in his Soul Pond. He remembered the silver dragon mark in his Soul Pond appearing in a baffling way when he reached the Soul Pond Realm. He wondered about that and the disappearance of the animal tooth pendant for some time.
Nothing ever happened about the silver dragon mark after it showed up. Today was the first day it ever moved. There was not only a demon in his Soul Pond now, but also a moving silver dragon. How could Lu Li not be scared?
Scare turned into surprise soon!
Lu Li could feel the green energy in his Soul Pond being reduced, and the ghost face was getting weaker. The ghost face moved and dodged from side to side in his Soul Pond, trying to break out. However, the Soul Pond was surrounded by silver light. As soon as the ghost face touched the outside, it would scream and go back in.
"What the hell is this? How is this happening? How is this possible? No, no, no…"
"No, how can the silver dragon be so powerful? No!"
"I cannot die, no way…"
Roars after roars rang in Lu Li’s mind. The ghost face grew more terrified but there was nothing it could do.
The ghost face was trapped inside by the silver dragon. The silver light that came off from the dragon was devouring its energy. The ghost face was getting weaker and weaker, slower and slower…
"Punk, stop that god damn silver dragon. I will not possess your body now. I will let you go at once."
"Punk, hurry up now! Or I will take you down with me. You let me go and I will give you every piece of treasure in the Coffin of the Dragon King. There is a grass in there. It is worth of several cities, literally, you can buy a Prefectural City with it!"
The demon was panicking and it started trying to persuade Lu Li, hoping that he could stop the silver dragon. But how could Lu Li control it? Even if he could, he wouldn’t. Believing in the demon? He was not an idiot.
The ghost face was getting thinner and it could vanish at any time now. The demon once again said to Lu Li, "Punk, there are many treasures in the Hall of Wicked Sorcery out there. Only I know how to open up the hall. Wicked Sorcery the Great once was a powerful warrior that could compete with Royal Families of the Central Plains. Let me go and I will open up the Hall of Wicked Sorcery for you, okay?"
"Hall of Wicked Sorcery?"
Lu Li was intrigued. The mountain was called the Wicked Sorcery Mountain according to the demon. Then the Hall of Wicked Sorcery must be the one outside that had no doors. This was the palace for Wicked Sorcery the Great? Then how powerful could he be if he could compete with Royal Families of the Central Plains?
Being intrigued was one thing, but Lu Li was not letting this old demon go. As a matter of fact, he couldn’t control that silver dragon. All he did was to wait quietly and see how it went.
"Let’s die together!"
At the last moment, the demon tried to make a determined effort. Its soul was about to be consumed completely, so it attempted to drag Lu Li to death together.
The half-transparent ghost face glared in green, then a surge of terrifying qi and energy radiated from the ghost face.
"No—"
From the depths of Lu Li’s soul came an awareness of danger. However, he could do nothing right now. He only exclaimed to himself that his life was coming to an end…
"Whoosh~"
Right at that moment, the silver dragon that had been circling outside rushed into the Soul Pond, opened its mouth and devoured the ghost face.
"Buzzing!"
The silver dragon glared. It immediately flew back from where it came out and went back to the motionless mark it once was. Lu Li’s Soul Pond restored its calmness.
"All over now?"
Lu Li thought in surprise. He hadn’t come to his senses now. This whole thing was just bizarre.
He reacted quickly, though, to try to control his body at once. He abruptly opened his eyes, took a few glances and jumped up from the ground. Because he was still tied off to the cold-iron chains, he pulled up the coffin with him and then fell to the ground with it.
"I can move now?"
Lu Li opened his mouth and uttered a few words. Then he stood up and tried to twist his body. He grabbed onto the cold-iron chains, swung the coffin and then ran in circles around the white jade plaza. After making sure that he could control his body now, he laughed out in ecstasy…
Surviving a disaster!
How pleasant it was! Lu Li had gone through so much suffering for the past three days and nights. He felt like he was in hell during that time and now he had been transferred to paradise. Lu Li cried in excitement and he could hardly control his emotions.
"Squeak, squeak~"
Little White could tell that the Lu Li now was the owner it was familiar with. It screamed in happiness, causing Lu Li to come to his senses. He untied the cold-iron chains and walked over to Little White in a hurry.
However, Little White was still entangled by the black vines with green glare. Lu Li tried to untie it but he couldn’t rip off the black vines. There seemed to be some mysterious power in the green energy that was making the black vines extra tough.
"Little White, don’t worry. I will work something out. Let me straighten my head first. I need to see my body."
Lu Li told Little White after some thoughts. He sat down with his legs crossed on the spot and started inspecting his body and soul.
Nothing was wrong with his body. The green energy in his body had moved to his Soul Pond and was then been devoured by the silver dragon. His Soul Pond was peaceful with no trace of the green energy, and the demon was gone, completely. The silver dragon stayed in his Soul Pond quietly.
Everything was fine!
So fine that Lu Li felt everything was surreal, as if all of this had been a dream. He inspected for a whole hour and then thought for the time for two incense sticks to burn with his eyes opened. Yet, he could figure out nothing.
There was one thing for sure—he was in safety now. Whatever remaining soul the demon had was devoured by the silver dragon. But would the silver dragon act up or would there be any after effects? Lu Li did not know.
He was not in fear of the silver dragon in his Soul Pond because he also had a silver dragon mark on his back. It was the silver dragon that helped him when he was about to die. It implied that the silver dragon would not harm him. Instead, it had come to his aid.
Lu Li put his mind at ease after this. He circled around the coffin for several times, tried to open it and tried to get the divine weapon out.
No matter what he did, the coffin remained motionless, so did the divine weapon. He even release his Burning Blood Skill to improve his strength but nothing happened.
Then he looked to the Hall of Wicked Sorcery, walked around it and then gave up on it after he made sure that there was no door.
He wasn’t lured the treasures even if the Hall of Wicked Sorcery was full of them just as the demon said. He only wanted to leave here, find Ming Yu and Yu Huashen to open the coffin and rip off the black vines from Little White.
But how?
Lu Li took a look at the dark fog around him and walked around the white jade plaza. He found many bugs flying and moving in the fog, very hard to detect. He could tell from a distance without having to go close that those bugs were poisonous and that one touch could kill him.
Lu Li was an optimistic fellow. He had just escaped death so what more he would want? If there was no way, he could find a way.
As long as he was alive, there was hope!
He calmed down, sat down with his legs crossed near the coffin again and tried to focus on thinking of a way out. He inspected his body again and then probed into his soul. When he concentrated on the silver dragon mark in his Soul Pond, he trembled…
He suddenly felt there was more information in his mind, something that didn’t belong to him, something that contained a method to control the Coffin of the Dragon King!
Lu Li opened his eyes when he finished browsing the information. He murmured in surprise, "Did the silver dragon mark… consume the soul of the demon and then passed the information along to me? What is this silver dragon mark?"
