173: One of the four evil spirits, Ao Yan!
When Immortal Weng with One Eye summoned the mirror, what appeared in it was Yan Poshan's precious daughter, Yan Qingqing.
This caused the tough man Yan Poshan to break down directly, and he struggled frantically while being hung up.
"Old geezer, if you dare to touch my daughter, I won't let you off even if I become a ghost!"
Immortal Weng with One Eye chuckled, "You still want to be a ghost? If this old man wills it, a snap of my fingers can turn you to ash."
Yan Poshan's veins bulged, and he glared with wide eyes, "Come on! Snap your fingers and send me off, hurry!"
The old ghost made a snapping gesture, but then his hand moved in front of the mirror.
"I've changed my mind. How about I snap my fingers and turn your daughter to ash instead?"
When his daughter's life was in Immortal Weng with One Eye's hands, Yan Poshan's boiling blood instantly cooled, his whole body felt as if plunged into an ice cave, and half his blood ran cold.
He looked into the mirror at his daughter, Yan Qingqing, who was Cultivating cross-legged.
Yan Poshan was silent for a moment, "What do you want me to do?"
The old ghost, skilled at manipulating human nature, put on a sanctimonious face, exuding an aura of righteousness, and patted Yan Poshan's shoulder earnestly.
"As long as you work for White Jade Capital, your daughter will be able to Ascend to the Upper Realm in the future and enjoy happiness with you."
"What I'm asking you to do isn't anything harmful. You just need to go to the Eastern Wasteland Ruins and help this old man investigate the situation."
"Don't worry, although the deep sea is dangerous, this old man will give you a protective talisman to ensure your smooth passage."
Yan Poshan fell silent upon hearing this.
He was just going to help the old ghost take a look at the Eastern Wasteland Ruins, not doing anything bad.
For his daughter's life, helping someone scout a path was something Yan Poshan could accept.
"Alright, as long as you don't touch my daughter, I'll work for you."
"Of course, if you ask me to harm the innocent, I won't do it."
Immortal Weng with One Eye, with a hypocritical smile, said in a highly seductive tone, "Don't worry, this old man is famously kind-hearted here in White Jade Capital."
"Go clean your wounds, get a set of clothes, and take my protective talisman to the East Wasteland."
...
...
The One-Eyed Old Man didn't know that his every move was under Li Yan's surveillance.
Through the Dao patterns left on Yan Poshan, Li Yan could see what was happening around Yan Poshan.
These days, he would also occasionally pay attention to the situation in White Jade Capital.
Yan Poshan was now his informant in White Jade Capital, though Yan Poshan himself didn't know it.
In the cave, Li Yan frowned deeply.
"Yuan Ye just died, and White Jade Capital already noticed?"
"It seems I don't have much time left. I need to quickly find the Dragon Clan secret scroll."
Murmuring to himself, Li Yan, feeling the urgency, looked at Ao Jiao.
"You're almost done healing, right? Quickly take me to find the Dragon Clan's secret treasure."
Ao Jiao was still a bit reluctant, "Stay for a bit longer, give me a little more time, and I'll be able to recover to my Peak state immediately."
"With Yuan Ye's death, I have a bad feeling. I'm afraid the other three of the Four Fiends will come."
Upon hearing this, Ao Jiao could only agree.
"Alright, follow me."
Ao Jiao then broke through the ice layer of the cave entrance and swam ahead into the dark deep sea.
Li Yan, currently inside the turtle shell, controlled the island-sized turtle shell, following behind Ao Jiao.
Knowing that White Jade Capital had issued orders, Li Yan had to race against time to the Eastern Wasteland Ruins to find the secret scroll left by the Ancient Dragon King.
However, the East Wasteland was already surging with undercurrents, and the other three of the Four Fiends had already received orders from White Jade Capital.
Three invisible pressures were approaching the East Wasteland.
Ao Jiao, swimming ahead, clearly sensed something.
"They're here!"
"You were right, I can feel the Four Fiends approaching."
Ao Jiao secretly sighed at how remarkably insightful Li Yan was to have predicted this.
"The Four Fiends usually have a very bad relationship. Why would they suddenly come here? Do they care about Yuan Ye's life or death?"
Li Yan didn't speak, as he couldn't expose his informant in White Jade Capital.
As for why the Four Fiends would care about Yuan Ye? Of course, it was because they received orders that they could eat Yuan Ye!
For any of the monsters among the Four Fiends, White Jade Capital had always suppressed them, not allowing the Four Fiends to kill each other.
However, in the eyes of these beasts, the Four Fiends had no such concept.
Eat!
Eat everything visible in the seabed! This was the true nature of the Four Fiends' brutality.
They didn't care if you were one of the Four Fiends, Eight Fiends, or Sixteen Fiends.
In this East Barren Sea Bottom, there could only be one strong one!
When White Jade Capital said they could eat Yuan Ye, the other three Fiends rushed over non-stop, famished and parched with hunger.
Ao Jiao felt terrifying pressure, "Can I fight three against one?"
Li Yan, inside the turtle shell, was very confident, "With me here, don't be afraid!"
"We need to quickly find the secret scroll left by the Ancient Dragon King, and then return to the Gui Xu Realm Abyss as soon as possible."
Knowing that White Jade Capital had been alerted, Li Yan had to race against time.
Fortunately, he still had Yan Poshan as an 'informant', allowing him to know the situation on White Jade Capital's side in advance.
Li Yan's gaze was firm as he looked ahead, "They're here!"
In the terrifying deep sea, a Lihsieh Crab claw covered in barnacles suddenly emerged and smashed towards Ao Jiao.
"It's the Lihsieh Crab!"
Accompanying Ao Jiao's warning, the giant crab claw collided with her Dragon horn, and the terrifying force caused an underwater tremor in the surroundings.
Li Yan looked closely and saw a giant crab, comparable to Kunlun, blocking their way.
Its crab legs touched the sky, and its carapace swallowed the moon!
And what the Lihsieh Crab was most proud of was its pair of crab claws!
Every time it clamped, the crab claws would emit a piercing roar, forming a ray in the seawater, enough to pierce through Ao Jiao's flesh.
However, the most troublesome was not the Lihsieh Crab, but another malevolent creature that appeared behind Li Yan and them.
And that malevolent creature could even speak human words.
"Oh, who do we have here?"
From the darkness behind, a man's voice came.
In the ink-like seawater, a handsome human face slowly appeared.
However, the focus was not the human face, but that this human face was as large as Ao Jiao's Dragon head.
It seemed very bizarre...
When the monster approached, Li Yan finally saw clearly what it was.
A gigantic Flood Dragon with a human face and Dragon horns on its head, similar in size to the Ancient Dragon Ao Jiao!
And it seemed to know Ao Jiao, not in a hurry to attack her.
The Ancient Dragon Ao Jiao's golden pupils narrowed into a line, her eyes filled with hatred, "Brother, you're becoming more and more like a Human!"
"More and more like a Human Race, more and more heartless!"
Only then did Li Yan realize.
One of these Four Fiends was actually a degenerated Ancient Dragon, and even Ao Jiao's brother!
Ao Jiao gnashed her teeth, "I shouldn't use the title 'brother'. I should call you Ghost Face Dragon Nightmare!"
The strange Flood Dragon with a human face curved its lips upward.
"Ao Jiao, my dear sister."
"The Ancient Dragon Clan has long declined. Why not join me, Ao Yan, and create a new Dragon Clan!"
