#374 - Arrange a scene to catch a spy
Amidst the horrified and astonished gazes of the Dragon Taming Elder and a group of Divine Dragon Hall disciples, a colossal serpent slowly slithered out of the mountain cave.
Its massive body meandered at the cave entrance, each scale shimmering with a ghostly light, as if narrating its mystery and majesty.
The Dragon Taming Elder's face was filled with disbelief as he stared intently at Liang Jin, his tone full of astonishment:
"Xiong Ba, you actually summoned the Divine Dragon in reality?!"
"You previously claimed to know nothing about the Divine Dragon? How is this possible!"
"How exactly did you do it? Could it be as simple as just shouting?"
"I must try it too!"
With that, the Dragon Taming Elder waved his hand abruptly.
Upon seeing this, the Divine Dragon Hall disciples immediately hurried to carry over a basket of beef, which emitted a pungent smell.
The Dragon Taming Elder turned around, his face beaming as he loudly called out to the giant serpent:
"Divine Dragon! Come over here!"
"We have specially prepared delicious food for you!"
However, the next moment, the giant serpent abruptly turned its head, its eyes, as large as copper bells, glaring fiercely at the Dragon Taming Elder.
Indeed, its gaze was filled with deep resentment, as if it was utterly enraged that these ant-like humans dared to order it around.
Instantly, the giant serpent's terrifying aura and ferocity surged like a raging tide towards the Dragon Taming Elder and the group of Divine Dragon Hall disciples.
Everyone felt their faces turn pale as paper in an instant, their hearts as if being heavily hammered by a heavy drumstick, their breathing becoming rapid and labored.
"This…"
The Dragon Taming Elder looked bewildered, completely clueless as to where he had gone wrong.
After all, Liang Jin had just summoned the Divine Dragon in this manner!
Liang Jin was equally puzzled.
This giant serpent seemed to be amiable only towards him and Yu Linglong, while full of contempt and rejection towards everyone else.
Liang Jin could understand the giant serpent's friendliness towards Yu Linglong, after all, Yu Linglong's palm strike had saved the giant serpent's life.
But why was the giant serpent so friendly towards him as well?
Could it really be because the giant serpent had once devoured his shed skin?
However, Liang Jin had limited interest in studying animals; as long as the giant serpent obeyed him, he would not delve further.
He immediately waved at the giant serpent and called out:
"Divine Dragon, what's so good about beef? Seafood is the real delicacy!"
"Let's go catch fish in the sea!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Jin soared into the air, flying towards the sea.
The giant serpent, as if hearing a highly enticing command, immediately obediently swayed its massive body, closely following Liang Jin and quickly departing.
The Dragon Taming Elder and the Divine Dragon Hall disciples witnessed this scene, their jaws nearly dropping in astonishment.
The giant serpent actually followed Liang Jin so obediently?
Liang Jin clearly didn't use any special methods and only spoke ordinary human language.
Liang Jin hurriedly spoke out to stop them:
"Everyone, please don't follow us."
"This Divine Dragon has its own pride and dignity. If you accidentally offend it and provoke it to attack you, I won't be able to stop it."
The giant serpent seemed to understand Liang Jin's words and also stopped, slowly turning around and coldly staring at the Dragon Taming Elder and the others.
At the same time, it slightly opened its bloody maw, revealing its sharp and slender fangs, which gleamed with a cold light under the sunlight.
The Dragon Taming Elder and the others were so frightened by this scene that they hurriedly stopped and dared not take another step forward.
In the end, the Dragon Taming Elder could only helplessly instruct:
"Xiong Ba, you know so much about the Divine Dragon, you must remember to bring the Divine Dragon back."
"Our Dragon Transformation Sect must not be without the Divine Dragon!"
Liang Jin readily agreed, and then flew towards the sea again.
The giant serpent also swayed its body again, closely following behind.
After arriving at the seaside, the giant serpent plunged into the seawater, continuing its hunting activities.
Liang Jin found a clean beach, sat down cross-legged, and began to review the information he had obtained today.
[Completed Sect Missions Today: 3]
[Number of Obtainable Intelligence: 3]
[Intelligence 1: Zhu Ying, one of the Four Great Constables of the Six扇门 (Six Doors), has successfully kidnapped Yan You, the Dragon Transformation Sect's procurement deacon in Azurewave City, and, using disguise techniques, has transformed into Yan You. He is currently impersonating Yan You to collect information on the Dragon Transformation Sect.]
[Intelligence 2: Lei Da, the younger brother of the Azurewave City Magistrate, is attempting to submit a counterfeit 'Azure Sea Tide Chart' to the Treasure Appraisal Hall's auction for auction. Unfortunately, he was exposed by the appraiser. Lei Da is using the magistrate's power to pressure the appraiser, attempting to force the appraiser to help conceal this matter.]
[Intelligence 3: A group of experts from the Xiafei Manor are rushing to Azurewave City to participate in the Treasure Appraisal Hall's auction. They are determined to obtain a piece of Blue Soul Jade that will be publicly auctioned at the auction.]
Seeing this information, Liang Jin couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Zhu Ying, one of the Four Great Constables, is actually so powerful that he has already begun kidnapping and impersonating the Dragon Transformation Sect's procurement deacon.
However, the position of Azurewave City's procurement deacon is really unlucky.
The previous procurement deacon, Wang Xu, was just dealt with by Liang Jin not long ago. This new Yan You has actually encountered problems again.
"Should I report this information immediately?"
Liang Jin fell into slight contemplation.
But he quickly abandoned the idea.
He had used the [Thousand Mile Tracking] ability to carefully examine Zhu Ying's information, only to discover that this guy was actually a Third-Rank martial artist!
Moreover, being able to be among the Four Great Constables, his strength is probably far from comparable to ordinary Third-Rank martial artists.
To deal with such an expert, I'm afraid that the Dragon Transformation Sect's elder would have to personally go to Azurewave City to solve it.
Perhaps, in order to successfully capture Zhu Ying, the Dragon Transformation Sect would even have to dispatch at least two elders at the same time.
But the key issue is that Yu Linglong has given a death order that she must go to Azurewave City tomorrow.
Since Yu Linglong is going, she must not be discovered by the Dragon Transformation Sect's elders.
If Liang Jin reports this information, causing the Dragon Transformation Sect's elders to go to Azurewave City, it is likely to seriously affect Yu Linglong's plans for fun.
Liang Jin secretly pondered:
"It seems that I can only rely on myself to solve it."
"If I can't solve it, I'll bring Yu Linglong along. With her strength, dealing with that Zhu Ying should not be a problem."
"Isn't she always worried about not having enough fun? Then, I'll arrange a wonderful show of catching spies for her."
Liang Jin had already made a plan after a slight thought in his heart.
Since Zhu Ying is also an expert in disguise techniques, then that's good, Liang Jin can also take this opportunity to see the level of the Six Doors' disguise techniques.
At the same time, this is also an excellent opportunity to deeply understand the Six Doors' martial arts and strength.
Liang Jin really couldn't muster any interest in the second piece of information.
The third piece of information, however, made him sigh that his fate with the Xiafei Manor was really not shallow.
He had previously stolen the heirloom of Manor Lord Zou Cifeng and the others from the Xiafei Manor, which was also a piece of Blue Soul Jade.
And now, the people from Xiafei Manor have actually chased after them to Azurewave City, wanting to auction another piece of Blue Soul Jade.
I wonder if Zou Cifeng, who is known as the number one expert in Dongzhou, has come along.
If he comes, then this auction will really be lively.
"It seems that there will be many interesting things happening at this auction."
Liang Jin secretly pondered:
"Should I stir up trouble and make some things happen at that time?"
Just as Liang Jin was thinking, a string of brand new information suddenly popped up on the system panel.
Liang Jin glanced at it, slightly surprised:
"It turns out that I have unknowingly completed a hundred sect missions."
The newly appeared information was the information reminding him that he had obtained a reward for completing a hundred sect missions relying on the [Daily Intelligence] feature.
"I wonder what the reward is this time?"
While saying this, he opened the system panel to check.
