NOVEL WEB Chapter 304 Dragon Egg_2
"Azure Dragon, our Yuhua Immortal Sect has also come to resolve this conflict, with no intention of going to war with your Dragon Clan."
The Yuhua Sect Master said solemnly, "You mentioned your child went missing. What exactly happened?"
"Damn it, my child was taken by you, and you still ask me why? Here's the evidence. This person is an Immortal Register Disciple of your Yuhua Immortal Sect. It was he who, while I was cultivating, snuck into the Dragon Nest and stole my child... The evidence is irrefutable. If you don't return the child to me, my Dragon Clan will be at endless odds with the Yuhua Immortal Sect..."
The Azure Dragon let out an angry roar and directly tossed the corpse it was holding with its claws.
The Unrivaled Daoist immediately recognized the corpse as her Direct Disciple He Yang, and her face turned cold.
She suddenly understood that He Yang's death was far from simple; this was a deliberate frame-up... He Yang wasn't even a Heavenly Immortal, how could he possibly sneak into the Azure Dragon Nest and escape with the Dragon Egg that the Azure Dragon had incubated?
The higher-ups of the Yuhua Immortal Sect were already aware of the Azure Dragon's egg-laying matter.
However, it wasn't considered a major issue.
But now... the Dragon Egg laid by the Azure Dragon has gone missing, and the matter has escalated significantly.
"Azure Dragon, this is my Direct Disciple. Are you certain he escaped with the Dragon Egg?"
The Unrivaled Daoist asked solemnly.
"Of course, even if he turned to dust, I could recognize him..."
The Azure Dragon said viciously.
"My disciple isn't even a Heavenly Immortal. Are you sure he had the ability to infiltrate your Dragon Nest?"
The Unrivaled Daoist said coldly.
"Hmph, under normal circumstances, a mere Earth Immortal would indeed be incapable, but at that time, I was comprehending a Yet Deficit Book, using my Dragon's Might to resist the will within it, which gave this thief an opportunity."
The Azure Dragon snorted coldly.
"Yet Deficit Book?"
The Yuhua Sect Leader and others showed expressions of surprise.
The Yet Deficit Book is extremely precious, a rare treasure that can promote Principle Seeds for Daoist Level cultivators.
But the Yet Deficit Book is exceedingly rare.
How did this Azure Dragon obtain a Yet Deficit Book?
"Azure Dragon, since you've caught this person, you should've recovered the Dragon Egg, right? How about letting this matter end here?"
The Yuhua Sect Leader said.
"My child is gone, disappeared... It's not on him. He must have handed the Dragon Egg to someone else... You are his master, is my child with you? Hand over my child immediately."
The Azure Dragon suddenly became extremely furious, its enormous eyes glaring at the Unrivaled Daoist, roaring hysterically.
For a powerful dragon beast at its level, it can only incubate one Dragon Egg in its lifetime as a continuation... Generally speaking, when a powerful Dragon Clan breeds offspring, it means they can no longer progress, preparing for the continuation of the Dragon Clan's bloodline.
Of course, ordinary dragon beasts are different and can reproduce quickly.
But the Azure Dragon is not an ordinary dragon beast, with a rather high bloodline level, belonging to the True Dragon rank.
True Dragons find reproduction extremely challenging.
So when it's incubating a Dragon Egg, it injects its True Dragon Bloodline, making the incubated Dragon Egg also possess the True Dragon Bloodline.
The future potential is enormous.
Now the Dragon Egg is lost.
It's practically cutting off its lineage.
After all, it can never incubate another Dragon Egg.
The Unrivaled Daoist Wu Shuang frowned slightly, the Azure Dragon is truly furious, the Dragon Egg must be lost.
But how did He Yang get involved?
She keenly sensed a whiff of conspiracy in this....
Now that the Azure Dragon believes the Dragon Egg's disappearance is related to her... resolving this will be very difficult.
Unless the Dragon Egg is found.
"Azure Dragon, I also just entered the Returning Dragon Secret Realm. You said my disciple stole the Dragon Egg, but he's now dead, dead at your hands. How could he have sent the Dragon Egg out?"
The Unrivaled Daoist took a deep breath and said coldly.
No matter what, she must uncover the truth of her Direct Disciple's death.
Her disciple cannot die in vain.
"He wasn't killed by me. When I returned to the Dragon Nest, I found his body... But he escaped with my child, I would not mistake that, today you must hand over my child or don't expect to leave alive..."
The Azure Dragon shouted angrily.
Around them, a large number of dragon beasts had already gathered, glaring covetously at the people of the Yuhua Sect.
"Azure Dragon, when did the Dragon Egg go missing?"
The Yuhua Sect Master suddenly asked.
"At that time, it was exactly the third period of noon, the sun blazing overhead... I was comprehending the Yet Deficit Book, and this thief sneaked into the Dragon Nest and escaped with my child."
The Azure Dragon said.
The reason it chose to comprehend the missing rare book at noon was to use the power of the blazing sun... But unexpectedly, during this comprehension, the Dragon Egg was lost.
"Elder Xiao, when was He Yang's Soul Lamp extinguished?"
The Yuhua Sect Master looked at Elder Xiao, who was responsible for guarding the Soul Lamp Hall, and immediately asked.
"It was not yet noon, it should have been around the seventh mark of the si hour...."
Elder Xiao quickly replied.
"In other words, when the Dragon Egg was lost, my disciple's Soul Lamp had already been extinguished, and he had fallen... How could a dead person steal the Dragon Egg? Azure Dragon, I understand your distress over losing the Dragon Egg, but my disciple fell in this Returning Dragon Secret Realm, and the body is in your hands. How will you give me a reasonable explanation?"
The Unrivaled Daoist Wu Shuang, cold as ice, burst out with powerful energy, questioning Azure Dragon instead.
"Unrivaled Daoist, calm down.... This matter is surely not that simple. What we need to do now is find clues, quickly locate the whereabouts of the Dragon Egg, and the cause of your disciple's death."
Yuhua Sect Master quickly said.
Although the Yuhua Immortal Sect has enough strength to suppress the Dragon Clan... this does not align with the interests of the Yuhua Immortal Sect.
After all, the Dragon Clan in this Returning Dragon Secret Realm is inherently attached to the Yuhua Immortal Sect, considered a very powerful vassal force.
Moreover, historically, the Dragon Clan in the Returning Dragon Secret Realm has battled for the Yuhua Immortal Sect.
Then, under the mediation of the Yuhua Sect Master, Azure Dragon temporarily gave up the idea of causing trouble for the Unrivaled Daoist and agreed to cooperate with the Yuhua Immortal Sect in investigating....
After all, it knew the Yuhua Immortal Sect was not easy to provoke.
To recover the Dragon Egg, it had to rely on the Yuhua Immortal Sect.
Thus, the Yuhua Immortal Sect began a comprehensive lockdown of the Returning Dragon Secret Realm, scrutinizing those who entered and exited the Secret Realm during this period.
Any entry and exit from the Returning Dragon Secret Realm would certainly leave traces.
If one wanted to take the Dragon Egg out of the Secret Realm, it must be among these entrants and exits.
....
Li Qian put away the great formation and flew with Nan Xi towards the exit of the Returning Dragon Secret Realm.
Not long ago, the Yuhua Immortal Sect issued an order to all remaining personnel in the Secret Realm to close it off, requiring everyone to leave the Secret Realm within a set time.
It was evident that the top echelons of the Yuhua Immortal Sect had already intervened in the dragon beast commotion.
The originally agitated dragon beasts also calmed down, with no more roaring from them.
The two rode their Spiritual Artifacts and smoothly arrived at the exit of the Secret Realm, using the portal to leave the Returning Dragon Secret Realm.
Upon exiting the Secret Realm, they were brought to a hall.
Inside, four people were seated.
Among them were, naturally, the Unrivaled Daoist, the Yuhua Sect Master, and a Daoist level figure.
The other, an old man in an azure robe, had horns on his head and scales on his face, emitting a fierce and cold aura.
This was the Azure Dragon in human form.
When a powerful spiritual beast reaches a certain level, even if it doesn't practice demonic cultivation... it can still transform into a human form.
However, these powerful spiritual beasts are unwilling to transform into human form.
They prefer to maintain their original bodies.
Only under specific circumstances will they take a human shape.
"Master...."
Nan Xi was startled upon seeing the Unrivaled Daoist and quickly bowed in salute.
The azure-robed old man, the Azure Dragon, flashed with fierce light in his eyes and was about to rise to grab Nan Xi.
But the Unrivaled Daoist Wu Shuang waved her hand, and the azure-robed old man shuddered, blocked by an invisible force.
"Azure Dragon, have you forgotten our agreement?"
The Unrivaled Daoist said coldly.
The old azure-robed man, Azure Dragon, snorted coldly but stared intently at Nan Xi, as if he wanted to devour her.
Nan Xi was frightened, her face pale with fear.
Li Qian was a bit surprised to see the Unrivaled Daoist here.
However, his expression remained unchanged, eyes and mind detached, as if they were strangers.
The Unrivaled Daoist merely glanced at Li Qian, her expression calm, "You two take out your Storage Devices, ensuring there's no omission."
Azure Dragon couldn't trace the presence of the Dragon Egg, with only one possibility: it was stored in a Storage Device.
However... the Dragon Egg is a living thing and cannot be placed in a Storage Device for too long; otherwise, the Dragon Egg will lose its vitality and turn into a dead egg.
If the person secretly stealing the Dragon Egg wanted to take it out of the Secret Realm, they would have to use a Storage Device.
However, Azure Dragon immediately had the Dragon Beasts block the Transmission Array.
This greatly reduced the difficulty of finding the egg thief.
