Chapter 161: The Last Time! (Vote for Monthly Ticket)
Several days later.
East State, outside Misty Mountain.
The wind was rising, and vast clouds gathered, creating the feeling of an impending storm.
At that moment, a thousand-zhang giant azure dragon emerged from the clouds.
Wu Hu!!!
The dragon let out a strange roar.
The sound shook the heavens.
All the animals within the countless forests, upon hearing this sound, were momentarily stunned.
What creature made this sound?
The impression left in the bloodline of countless animals did not explain to them the source of this noise.
Driven by curiosity, they all poked their heads out of the woods and looked up at the sky.
Seeing the massive dragon in the sky, they were instantly petrified, lying prostrate on the ground, trembling uncontrollably, too afraid to move.

In the sky above.
Zhang Han stood at the dragon's head, his Confucian robe fluttering in the wind. He looked down at the entirety of Misty Mountain, shrouded in fog and indistinguishable in shape.
"Elder Zhang, have we arrived? Being ridden makes me feel uncomfortable,"
the azure dragon below spoke in human language, asking aloud.
"We've arrived, we've arrived. Don't be anxious. That big mountain below is it. Oh, it's enveloped in mist, you might not be able to see,"
Zhang Han gently patted the dragon's head beneath his foot and said.
"There's a mountain ahead? I didn't see it with my Divine Sense either, are you sure?"
The dragon, Ao Yu, asked again.
"It's covered by a Formation; it's normal that you can't see it. Okay, I'm going to start communicating with the Formation to enter. Hold your tail tight, be careful not to offend my Respected Master. If he gets displeased and slaps you dead, you won't even have the chance to cry, and the Dragon Monarch won't be able to avenge you,"
Zhang Han threatened.
Upon hearing this,
Ao Yu immediately became nervous.
He had long heard of the prestige of the Hidden Sect Master.
An existence that even his father could suffer a loss from.
If such a junior like him happened to offend this being...
He didn't dare to even contemplate the thought...
Ao Yu was filled with nervousness.
But Zhang Han had no mind to pay attention to him.
His hands were forming a Secret Art.
Before long, the clouds obscuring Misty Mountain began to disperse, revealing the mountain within.
Zhang Han, without hesitation, asked Ao Yu to shrink in size, and riding on him, he flew towards the Sect.
Ao Yu's speed was also very fast.
They swept across the forests and in an instant entered the Wayless Sect.
Upon reaching the Grand Hall Square,
Zhang Han intended to ask Ao Yu to transform into human form first, so as not to draw too much attention.
But before he could speak,
he saw Chu Yuan standing in the Grand Hall Square.
Master... Respected Master?!
Zhang Han became somewhat panicked.
He had ridden the dragon here partly to exhibit his might in front of his junior brothers and sisters.
But running into his master like this wasn't fun at all.
Could it be that his master would think he had become arrogant?!
At a time when he was about to succeed as Sect Master, this was the last thing he needed...
What Zhang Han did not know was,
that he was feeling flustered.
But Chu Yuan across from him was even more so.
When he saw the enormous azure dragon,
he inwardly cursed in shock.
He was completely petrified.
Just standing there, emotionless, he was actually frozen in fear.
Such a huge... dragon?!
And his disciple, Zhang Han, was riding on top of it??
A Dragon Knight???
"Disciple Zhang Han, greets Respected Master!!"
Zhang Han on the dragon's back dared not delay and quickly jumped down, giving a polite bow, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Ao Yu was quite shrewd too. As soon as he heard how Zhang Han addressed the man, he immediately knew who he was dealing with.
Hidden Sect Master!
Understanding Chu Yuan's identity, Ao Yu immediately transformed into human form, knelt on the ground, and dared not say a word, lest he get hit.
"Hmm... Who might this be?"
Suppressing his shock and fear, Chu Yuan took a few inconspicuous steps back, fearing he might be devoured by the dragon that had transformed into a human.
"Reporting to Respected Master, this is the ninety-seventh son of the Yun State Dragon Monarch. He is now the mount of your disciple. Uh... Respected Master, our sect can bring mounts inside, right?"
Zhang Han asked carefully.
Upon hearing this.
Chu Yuan was deeply shaken.
A mount?!
This dragon is your mount?
The very creature he hadn't even dared to contemplate was actually your mount?!
How long had it been since they last met?
This sly disciple has grown to such an extent?
Feeling somewhat dazed, Chu Yuan thought he needed to go back and calm down properly.
"That's fine. However, well, never mind, prepare yourself for the Sect Competition in five months. Alright, your master has some things to handle, so I'll be leaving now."
Chu Yuan swallowed his saliva and finished speaking.
He turned and left immediately.
Fearing that if he continued to stay, he might be attacked by that dragon.
Chu Yuan quickly departed, hiding inside the Ancestral Master Hall.
Zhang Han and Ao Yu, still standing in place, both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, since Respected Master said it's fine, then it definitely is. With the status of a disciple's mount, you'll be allowed to stay within the Wayless Sect now."
Zhang Han immediately felt his whole body relax.
He had been truly worried that his master would deny mounts entry to the sect.
"That scared me to death. With him staring, I felt like I was about to be devoured... Whew... Elder Zhang, thank you for giving me this identity as a disciple's mount."
Ao Yu took a long breath and gratefully spoke.
"Don't mention it, don't mention it."
Zhang Han replied with a mysterious smile.
Are you sure this is just an identity?
No way, no way.
You can't honestly think I gave you the identity of a disciple's mount just to let you into the Wayless Sect, can you?
"So, um, Ao Yu, I'm planning to visit my junior sister. Why don't you come with me?"
Zhang Han suddenly suggested.
"Elder Zhang, you're going to see your junior sister, what would I do accompanying you..."
Ao Yu didn't finish his sentence before he abruptly stopped.
His eyes suddenly widened.
Don't tell me...
He wants to ride him again?
"Yes, that's it, Ao Yu. In front of my junior sister, I want to show off the dignity of being a senior brother, so I'll need to impose on you to become a dragon again."
Zhang Han coughed twice and explained.
"No! Elder Zhang, that's too much! You said it was only for once!"
Ao Yu stepped back, his face suddenly changing.
"Well, there's no helping it, Ao Yu. Come on, be good and change into a dragon. This time it's really the last time. I just want to maintain the dignity of a senior brother. It looks more imposing to ride upon you. Do you understand?"
Zhang Han persuaded cunningly.
"No! Dragons should never be ridden!"
Ao Yu stood his ground.
"Just this last time!! Really, just the last time!"
Zhang Han quickly interjected.
"No..."
"The last time!! Can't you agree just this one last time?"
"This... Elder Zhang, it's really not okay."
"The last time!"
"Really the last time?"
"Really, not even pearls are this genuine!"
Faced with Zhang Han's pressing tone.
Ao Yu eventually gave in.
He transformed back into the Azure Dragon, allowing Zhang Han to mount him...
