458: Do I look that stupid to you?

Soon, Shen Tianxing landed on the isolated island.

If it weren't for Su Mingyue, Shen Tianxing admitted that he might not have found this place so easily; it was truly too secluded.

The surroundings were not only enveloped in dense Death Qi, but there were also Formations that could block Divine Sense probes.

Even a Cultivator in the Golden Body Realm, if slightly careless, would miss this place.

Looking at the group of people outside fighting over a fake dragon corpse, it was clear that the Azure Dragon Clan, which had laid out such a grand scheme, was far from simple.

Shen Tianxing stepped onto the isolated island, and everywhere his gaze fell, there were crumbling walls and ruins, looking no different from a desolate land.

If it weren't for this dragon corpse and those massive stone tablets, he wouldn't have been interested at all.

Buzz!

Just as Shen Tianxing reached the center of the isolated island, suddenly, the surrounding stone tablets all vibrated, and then the runic imprints on the tablets emitted a blue light. The runes detached from the tablets and shot straight into the sky!

"Hmm? Have the Restrictions been triggered?"

Shen Tianxing couldn't understand what the runic imprints on these stone tablets represented, as he didn't recognize the Dragon Clan's script.

However, he could feel the power contained within those runic imprints.

It was very strong!

Blue runic imprints danced across the sky, forming a giant halo that enveloped the isolated island from all directions.

Following this, in a dried-up lake at the center of the isolated island, a large amount of spiritual water, rich in Spiritual Qi, suddenly gushed forth.

"How many years has it been? Someone has finally come here again. I have finally seen the light of day once more!"

A figure emerged from the lake water.

Shen Tianxing looked towards that figure, a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

This figure was very robust, dressed in a blue robe, appearing to be around forty to fifty years old. His actual age was certainly different from his appearance, which was not uncommon among Cultivators.

This middle-aged man had a square face, and his eyes sparkled with light; he was the epitome of a man with sword-like brows and star-like eyes.

He exuded an aura of righteousness, and anyone who saw him couldn't help but feel a few extra points of goodwill.

It was not difficult to guess that this person must be related to the Azure Dragon Clan, otherwise, he couldn't possibly appear on this isolated island.

"Young man, your ability to come to this Dragon Tomb proves that you are fated with my Azure Dragon Clan."

"I am the Guardian of the Azure Dragon Lineage, named Guardian. I have guarded this place for many years, and now that I have met a fated person, you may ask for anything you desire."

Guardian stood above the spiritual lake. Shen Tianxing noticed that the Spiritual Qi in the lake was connected to Guardian's body, being continuously absorbed into him.

If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't have noticed anything.

But a Cultivator of Shen Tianxing's Realm could tell at a glance that the Guardian before him was actually a remnant soul!

The Spiritual Qi in this lake was being absorbed by him, surely to maintain the state of his remnant soul.

Otherwise, any being that had survived from the ancient era would likely be unable to exist here.

There was no Spiritual Qi in the place where this isolated island was located!

"You are the Guardian of the Azure Dragon Lineage? It seems I have truly encountered a great Opportunity. Does that mean I can have anything I want?"

Shen Tianxing didn't believe the other party was that kind.

For such a vast Dragon Tomb Land to have a remnant soul appear, he surely had his own purpose.

"Indeed, you may ask, but you must also help me. Only when you help me can I open the treasure vault left by the Azure Dragon Lineage."

As expected!

Shen Tianxing knew it the moment he heard it.

There was no such thing as a free lunch in the world. A remnant soul in the Dragon Tomb Land?

Anyone who believed that would be seeing ghosts!

"Tell me, and I'll see if I can help you."

The other party hadn't revealed all his flaws yet, so Shen Tianxing intended to hear what he truly wanted to do.

Sure enough, when Guardian heard this, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, and then he spoke.

"Do you see the dragon corpse coiling on Dragon Mountain? That is where our treasure vault is located."

"You only need to carry my remnant soul to the Dragon Head and douse the dragon corpse with spiritual spring water, and I will be able to open the Dragon Clan's treasure vault."

"With your Golden Body Realm cultivation, it will be very easy to do."

Guardian's voice carried a hint of Gu.

But he didn't know that Shen Tianxing's displayed cultivation was deliberately hidden; he couldn't see through his true cultivation at all.

Perhaps because of this, Guardian thought Shen Tianxing wouldn't be able to resist the temptation.

After all, Shen Tianxing looked very young.

Shen Tianxing wasn't a fool, was he?

With such an obvious goal, if he really did that, he would probably be asking for trouble.

Guardian had the aura of the Dragon Clan on him; there was no faking that.

The facts also proved that the rumors outside about an ancient remnant Azure Dragon soul existing in the Dragon Tomb Land were true!

But it seemed that Guardian, this remnant soul, couldn't leave this spiritual lake, and his request for Shen Tianxing to take his remnant soul to Dragon Mountain likely had another purpose.

"Guardian, you've been in this Dragon Tomb Land for so long, it seems your mind has become muddled."

"You exist by borrowing the spiritual lake, wanting to use its water to awaken the dragon corpse and achieve Rebirth by possessing a new body. This trick is no longer new."

"Do I look that foolish to you?"

At this point, Shen Tianxing had no interest in continuing to waste words with Guardian.

Having confirmed that a remnant soul of the Azure Dragon Lineage remained here, taking him down would reveal everything. What was the need for further nonsense?

Guardian was startled, clearly not expecting that his profound facade would be so unceremoniously exposed by Shen Tianxing.

"How did you see through it?"

By this time, Guardian no longer bothered to keep up the act.

His originally somewhat righteous-looking face had now darkened a few shades.

However, Guardian didn't become enraged out of humiliation.

This was his territory after all, and in his opinion, no one who entered here could escape his grasp.

"Is it that difficult? I told you, don't treat me like a fool."

"I'm very curious, when that great power of the Azure Dragon Lineage took action to suppress and kill the Inner Sea demons, where did the other masters of your Azure Dragon Lineage go?"

This was what Shen Tianxing truly wanted to know.

Within the Four Domains, there were no traces of any other masters from the Azure Dragon Lineage; those people seemed to have vanished into thin air.

From ancient times until now, countless people had pursued this secret, yet no one had ever found a clue.

Perhaps only the Azure Dragon Clan themselves knew.

Fortunately, for some unknown reason, Guardian was left in this Dragon Tomb. To find the whereabouts of the Azure Dragon Clan, he would have to pry it out of him.

"Hahaha!"

"Interesting. No one has ever dared to covet the whereabouts of our Azure Dragon Lineage before. It seems the prestige of our Azure Dragon Clan has been forgotten."

"But why do you think I would tell you?"

"Do you not know that by entering here, you no longer have a choice?"

"I have waited for so many years, wanting to leave the Dragon Tomb, but unfortunately, there has never been a suitable Opportunity. Since you have come, how could I miss this good Opportunity?"
