177: Quasi-Saints of the Dragon Clan, Mysterious Dragon Island

"Quasi-Saint!"

"And it's a Dragon Clan Quasi-Saint!"

Almost instantly, Li Yun sensed the other party's strength.

That was a Quasi-Saint, and a genuine, powerful one at that.

Subconsciously, Li Yun began to change his direction of travel, not daring to make contact rashly.

After all, this was a Quasi-Saint level existence; if they actually came to blows, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, as Li Yun turned, the Dragon Clan Quasi-Saint moved as well, appearing directly in the area ahead of Li Yun, giving him no possibility of evasion whatsoever.

"Fellow Daoist, what is the meaning of this?"

His forward momentum coming to a halt, Li Yun looked at the Dragon Clan Quasi-Saint warily and asked.

At this moment, he had already disguised himself; his appearance, aura, and Origin fluctuations were all completely different, so Li Yun did not believe the other party was here specifically to find trouble with him.

That being the case, why did this person keep blocking him? The two sides had no grievances; logically, there was no need for this.

"Not running anymore!"

Glancing at Li Yun, the Dragon Clan Quasi-Saint's lips curled up, and a trace of disdain appeared in the depths of his eyes.

Immediately after, he spoke directly: "Since you've given up, then come with me!"

"Rest assured, I don't want your life, but before that, you need to complete some things before you can regain your freedom!"

After speaking, the Dragon Clan Quasi-Saint turned and flew in one direction, not caring at all whether Li Yun agreed or not, or whether he followed.

"Damn..."

Seeing this situation, Li Yun's expression darkened.

He knew this fellow was threatening him, and unfortunately, he really couldn't choose to leave right now.

After all, while his speed was certainly fast enough, it was absolutely impossible to contend with a Quasi-Saint level existence.

However, Li Yun didn't have much fear in his heart; it was true he couldn't win in a fight, but if he wanted to leave, the other party wouldn't be able to stop him either.

But the matters mentioned by the Dragon Clan Quasi-Saint piqued his curiosity; he didn't immediately use the Void Law to escape into the Void Realm, but instead directly rode a cloud and followed.

Under the lead of that Saint-Grade Dragon Clan Cultivator, Li Yun arrived at a lonely island before long.

As far as the eye could see, the entire island was huge, perched on the surface of the East Sea, with countless towering trees growing upon it, and Innate Beings could be vaguely seen walking within.

"Purple Gold Divine Pupils, Open!"

Quietly activating his Purple Gold Divine Pupils to look inside, he could see the entire island was currently covered and sealed by countless Restrictions and barriers, directly preventing the Cultivators and beings within from coming out.

Besides that, the number of beings inside was also vast.

Scanning further for a few moments, Li Yun saw at least a thousand Innate Beings.

These fellows were in quite a pathetic state, each carrying a basket containing some special crystals, moving from all directions toward the center of the island.

In that central area was a massive deep pit, bottomless and covered by a special power that even the Purple Gold Divine Pupils could not see through.

"Go in!"

At this time, the Dragon Clan Quasi-Saint quietly turned to Li Yun and said, "The people inside will tell you what to do and what your mission is!"

"As long as the existence in that central area is satisfied, you all can leave this place, and you might even receive rewards given by my Dragon Clan!"

Saying this, the Dragon Clan Quasi-Saint waved his hand, directly opening a path leading inside.

Immediately after, he waved his hand again, and Li Yun felt a powerful force bind him, pulling him rapidly toward the interior of the island.

To this, Li Yun did not resist.

His curiosity was now fully piqued by the situation inside the island.

For a Quasi-Saint to care so much and even go to such great lengths, it was impossible for there not to be some secret involved.

Before long, Li Yun's figure had entered the island.

The Dragon Clan Quasi-Saint did not linger; after waving his hand to close the passage, he turned and left the place, seemingly to find more manpower... Whoosh—

The sound of breaking air rang out, and Li Yun's figure successfully landed on the ground.

Before he could even observe his surroundings, a series of footsteps approached.

Looking toward the sound, a squad of Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals wearing armor walked over, each holding a weapon as they surrounded Li Yun.

Then, the crowd parted, and a Dragon Clan youth who looked to be only in his twenties, with black hair and black eyes, wearing black armor with a long sword at his waist, stepped forward.

After sizing Li Yun up for a few moments, the youth nodded and said, "Taiyi Golden Immortal, not a bad cultivation level!"

"And your physique looks decent too; it is indeed suitable for mining!"

"Come with me and work for my Dragon Clan. As long as you complete your task, there will be no shortage of benefits for you."

Hearing this, Li Yun did not move.

He had already checked; the strength of this group of Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals was only at the True Immortal Realm level, and this youth was merely at Taiyi Golden Immortal Perfection, posing no threat to him.

Thinking of this, Li Yun immediately spoke: "I can go with you, but I need to know exactly what is happening here, what I need to do, and what the specific benefits are?"

"Presumptuous!"

Hearing these words, a Crab General immediately barked: "Who allowed you to speak to the Great Prince like that? Cultivator, are you looking for death?"

Great Prince!

The offspring of the East Sea Dragon King?

Squinting his eyes slightly, Li Yun didn't even look at the Crab General who spoke, but instead looked calmly at the Great Prince, waiting for his answer.

"Interesting!"

Noticing Li Yun's reaction, Ao Qing also revealed a trace of surprise in his expression.

Countless Cultivators had been sent to the island before, let alone Taiyi Golden Immortals, there were even Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

But there were truly very few who could be as composed, or even as calm, as Li Yun.

Thinking of this, Ao Qing turned to Li Yun and said, "I am Ao Qing, the Great Prince of the East Sea Dragon Clan. And you? What is your name?"

"Dao Yi~"

Faced with the question, Li Yun's thoughts turned and he once again created a new persona.

Before clarifying the situation here, he would not reveal his true identity.

"Dao Yi?"

Nodding, Ao Qing waved his hand and said, "All of you, step down!"

"Yes, Great Prince!"

"Yes!"

Acknowledging the command, the surrounding Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals immediately turned and left.

However, they did not go too far, instead standing in an area where they could see Li Yun and Ao Qing, ready to provide support immediately if any problem occurred.

Li Yun didn't care about any of this; instead, he looked at Ao Qing with some surprise and said, "It seems you are very confident, daring to face me alone as a fellow Taiyi Golden Immortal!"

"Hehe~"

Smiling nonchalantly, Ao Qing stepped forward, saying as he walked, "You won't act, and you don't dare to. This Dragon Island was established by my Dragon Clan's Old Ancestor, and it is filled with countless Formations and Restrictions."

"Although I am only a Taiyi Golden Immortal, as long as I activate the great arrays on the island, even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal would have to die. Do you think I would be afraid?"

"But I must say, you are different from those fellows I encountered before; you have extraordinary courage. If you can complete the task here, I can give you an opportunity to join the Dragon Clan's subordinates!"
