126: Chapter 126 The Fight Begins!

"The Red Flood Dragon Clan has been hunting someone lately."

The old man spoke unhurriedly.

"Hunting someone?"

"Who was reckless enough to kill a Red Flood Dragon this time?"

"That is a possibility."

The Flood Dragon race found it extremely difficult to reproduce, which led to their small population.

To the Human Race, the Red Flood Dragon was a treasure from head to toe; its body parts could be used in medicine or for crafting artifacts. Despite their many uses, practically no one dared to provoke the Red Flood Dragon Clan due to their immense power.

However, that didn't mean no one dared to hunt them. Two hundred years ago, a Red Flood Dragon in the Bitter Sea Realm entered human territory and slaughtered people indiscriminately, causing massive casualties.

At that time, a Sword Cultivator happened to be passing by and killed that Red Flood Dragon on a whim.

That Sword Cultivator was now the Vice Pavilion Revered Master of the Canghai Sword Pavilion. When the Red Flood Dragon Clan found out, they clamored for the Canghai Sword Pavilion to pay the price, but they only dared to put a bounty on their members within Yao Race territory. Eventually, the matter was dropped.

After all, the Canghai Sword Pavilion was not afraid of the Red Flood Dragon Clan at all, and the Red Flood Dragon Clan also had their reservations about the pavilion.

However, a century ago, another person killed a Red Flood Dragon, but the outcome was different. Although that person was a practitioner in the Other Shore Realm, they were a Loose Cultivator with no backing.

The Red Flood Dragon Clan dispatched four Red Flood Dragons in the Other Shore Realm, two of whom were at the high stage of that realm, and they directly executed that Loose Cultivator outside Cangyuan City.

This served as a warning to the Human Race.

While they couldn't do anything to the Canghai Sword Pavilion, their Red Flood Dragon Clan was not to be bullied by just anyone.

Now, hearing from this old man that the Red Flood Dragon Clan was hunting a human immediately piqued everyone's curiosity.

"I never said someone killed a Red Flood Dragon."

The old man took another sip of tea and spoke leisurely.

"Then what happened? Old man, hurry up and tell us."

"Old man, are you just making things up to fool us?"

Some believed the old man, while others thought he was talking nonsense.

The Red Flood Dragon Clan was a major race, after all. If there were any significant movements, certain forces within the Human Race would have noticed.

But they hadn't heard this news from anywhere else, so it was natural for them to be skeptical.

Besides, they didn't know this old man; it was their first time seeing him.

"You can also treat my words as a story."

The old man spoke calmly.

He didn't care about the skepticism of others.

"The human being hunted by the Red Flood Dragon Clan is a human who possesses the Red Flood Dragon Bloodline."

The old man continued to speak to himself.

"A human with the Red Flood Dragon Bloodline? No wonder."

Some people nodded.

If what the old man said was true, it wasn't surprising. The Red Flood Dragon Clan loathed humans; they forbade their members from intermarrying with the Human Race and could not tolerate the existence of offspring with human blood.

Once discovered, the Red Flood Dragon Clan would not allow them to remain alive in this world.

However, the doubt raised earlier caused some people to start questioning the old man again.

There was no proof; the old man's words were unsubstantiated, and there were no other sources of information.

"Thank you for the hospitality."

The old man stood up and said.

He then walked downstairs, and the child followed closely behind him as they left together.

"Was that old man telling the truth or not?"

"Who knows?"

"True or false, what does it have to do with us? Just take it as entertainment."

Indeed, regardless of the truth, it had nothing to do with them, and they lost nothing.

If anyone lost anything, it was the person who treated the old man to tea.

Besides, in a place like this, there was plenty of false information. One shouldn't trust everything everyone said, or they would easily be deceived.

The Red Flood Dragon Clan?

Lin Ming had read some introductions about the Red Flood Dragon Clan, but he had never actually seen a Flood Dragon. He was somewhat interested.

"Junior Sister, have you ever seen a Flood Dragon?"

Lin Ming looked at Su Lianxue and spoke in a slightly teasing tone.

"I haven't."

Su Lianxue shook her head.

She truly hadn't seen one, at least not in the Lower Realm.

However, she did recall that Flood Dragon meat tasted quite good.

"Revered Master, surely you must have seen one?"

Lin Ming turned to Master Yun Hua and asked.

"I've seen them a few times."

Master Yun Hua picked up the cup on the table and spoke in a calm tone.

At that moment, a commotion broke out outside.

The noise immediately drew the attention of many people.

On the street, two groups of people were confronting each other, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.

"Isn't that the young Revered Master of the Zhou Family? I heard he's been cultivating at Yushan Temple."

"This is getting interesting. It's Wang Shaozong, the Disciple of the Yihai Alliance's Vice Alliance Leader. The two of them have crossed paths."

"Is there some conflict between them?"

"I don't know if there's a conflict between them specifically, but several Zhou Family Disciples were taught a lesson by Wang Shaozong at the Yixiang Pavilion last month."

"I heard the Yihai Alliance is trying to snatch some of the Zhou Family's business."

"The Yihai Alliance really isn't afraid of clashing with the Zhou Family."

"Why would they be? It's not like the Yihai Alliance doesn't have backing."

The people upstairs quickly identified the two groups on the street.

The Zhou Family and the Yihai Alliance were both local powers in Cangyuan City.

"A good dog doesn't block the way."

Wang Shaozong looked at Zhou Hao in front of him and spoke without any politeness.

"A useless piece of trash is barking here. It seems my Zhou Family has given you too much face."

Zhou Hao said with a cold face.

Since he left home, it seemed any random stray thought they could act presumptuously in front of the Zhou Family.

The mere Yihai Alliance, an organization of Loose Cultivators, actually had the nerve to stretch their hands into the Zhou Family's territory.

"Then what does that make the guys behind you who were scared off by a 'piece of trash' like me?"

Wang Shaozong glanced at the Zhou Family Disciples behind Zhou Hao and sneered.

Family Disciples? They were nothing but a bunch of good-for-nothings.

"Kneel and apologize, and I might let you go."

Zhou Hao said.

"Who do you think you are? You think you're worthy?"

Wang Shaozong laughed loudly.

Kneel?

What a joke.

He knew Zhou Hao had been taken as a Disciple by an Immortal Master of Yushan Temple and had been cultivating there.

But even so, he wasn't afraid. He wanted to see just how strong a Disciple of an Immortal Master really was.

In an instant, the atmosphere between the two sides became tense.

"They're going to fight! This is going to be a good show."

Most of the people around were looking on with the intent of watching a spectacle, practically itching for them to start fighting.

"Fighting is forbidden within Cangyuan City."

At that moment, a slightly languid voice rang out.

Following that, a handsome man slowly appeared in everyone's sight.
