The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 621 - 266: Demon Dragon Island_2

"Hahaha, this king is finally free!"

"After so many years, I’ve returned to my homeland once again, it truly is a feeling of indescribable familiarity!!"

A shrill roar echoed for a long time before suddenly halting.

Fly Moon spat out a ball of light from his mouth, followed by a spit, and then inquired in the clear and round Demonic Language, word for word:

"Where is Demon Dragon Island?"

"Shi! ChiChi!!"

The ball of light abruptly turned black, a pointed arrow appeared at the front and shot off in a particular direction.

"Hahaha, the old geezer’s treasure is not bad; what has been stolen belongs rightfully to this king!"

Fly Moon laughed heartily, then followed the black arrow, buzzing and flapping its wings, it disappeared swiftly into the sky above the Black Spider Valley.

...

...

Demon Dragon Island, outside the Dongting Lake on the Island.

As the purple Nether moon shone brightly or dimly, time, calculated in "days", gradually elapsed.

Finally, when black bridges began to rise one after another from the distant lake, the eerie silence of the darkness abruptly shattered. Figures filled with arrogance and grandeur appeared within everyone’s sight.

"Ye Liuying, do you and your brother intend to become the laughingstock of the entire clan?"

"He bragged confidently, claiming that anyone dissatisfied with the Dragon Hunting Contest should challenge him, but what happened? Dragon Island has opened, and he’s hiding at home playing in the mud?"

In one corner of the courtyard, Ye Hu, Ye Min, and Ye Chenmu blocked Ye Liuying’s path.

All three wore grim expressions, especially Ye Hu and Ye Min, their faces pale.

Not far away, several figures stood with their arms crossed, cold gazes falling upon the scene.

Threads of murderous intent not only settled on Ye Liuying but also significantly upon the backs of Ye Hu, Ye Min, and Ye Chenmu.

"Brothers and Sisters, I swear by the Ye name that the promise to attend the event at Dragon Island was made by Ye Hanjun himself, there is no deceit in our intentions!"

Covered in sweat, Ye Hu had no choice but to feign calmness and stubbornly scold Ye Liuying:

"Where is your brother? Where is he?"

"Speak up! Are you mute?"

"I really want to ask, in allowing you alone to come, does he intend to sacrifice you for his own survival?"

Ye Hu became increasingly agitated, almost explosively angry.

Ye Min, standing next to him, also couldn’t help but grip his knife, if not for prohibitions against fighting here, he would have already cut open Ye Liuying’s neck.

"Since he said he would come, he will certainly come."

Ye Liuying’s crisp voice echoed all around, her exceptionally cold tone made her seem unusually calm:

"If I remember correctly, even if one is late for the Dragon Hunting Contest, it only increases the challenge, and won’t prevent participation."

"If you’re in a hurry, and have no confidence in succeeding, you’re welcome to enter and start hunting."

"Heh"

Someone opened their mouth, their voice particularly sharp:

"Is Ye Hanjun afraid?"

"First, deceive us to go to Dragon Island, then himself hiding elsewhere to enhance his strength, thereby buying himself time to cultivate... If it really is this despicable, it’s a total disgrace to the Young King!"

"Hahaha, brother Tao’s words make sense."

"But if it were me, and I heard that a bunch of people were waiting to get me, I wouldn’t care about my dignity or ego, I’d run as far as possible."

...

While some scoffed, others laughed jovially.

Standing at the center of attention, Ye Liuying appeared calm on the outside, but inside she was gritting her teeth.

"Bastard, he really stood me up!"

"He left me alone to manage this mess? If I mess this up, it’ll be a real spectacle!"

Complaining internally, she suddenly heard someone speak, followed by a streak of blood rapidly passing through the crowd, charging towards the black bridge in the distance:

"Ye Hanjun won’t break his promise, since he has promised it, we can trust him."

"You all continue waiting if you wish, I haven’t drank blood in several days, I’ll go ahead."

Whish——

The bloody shadow dashed onto the black bridge and disappeared as if flying away.

"Eh? That looks like Ye YuanQing?"

"I haven’t seen him in a while, I didn’t expect him to show up."

Murmurs of discussion—— suddenly halted.

Another figure emerged from the shadows, slowly strolling towards the black bridge.

"It’s Ye Shan! Ye Shan is actually here!"

"This is Ye Hanjun’s influence? There are so many other places for refining Fond Spirits and practicing powers, but because he chose this place, the excitement of this Dragon Hunting Contest will likely surpass the records of the past few hundred years?"

A member of the Ye Clan named "Ye Tao" couldn’t help but exclaim.

Another one named "Ye Yaya" speculated quietly:

"Isn’t Brother Shan just about to advance to the 6th rank?"

"For Ye Hanjun, did he delay his speed of promotion to compete with him here?"

"Perhaps."

Ye Tao also lowered his voice, communicating as softly as possible:

"I just saw Ye Buyi, and along with Ye Xuezhu, at least three Young Kings gathered here."

"The rest, like us wishing to compete, are all at the later stages or peak of the 5th rank, those who feel they’re too weak and lack strength won’t even dabble in these muddy waters."

"Converging of the elite, this is for the best."

Ye Yaya stared at Ye Liuying’s forehead, with a cold, teeth-baring laugh:

"This is the price for standing at the forefront."

"A tree that stands above the rest in the forest is destined to be destroyed by the wind, let alone a tree that grows abnormally."

"What a pity, although Demon Dragon Island prohibits the use of Magical Tools beyond one’s rank, they give out protective Dragon Talismans. Even if Ye Hanjun arrives, we can at most make him surrender, it won’t be easy to kill him."

"Why do we need to kill him?"
