Legend of Dragon Son-in-law-Chapter 716 - Granny Xihua_1
Chapter 716 -716 Granny Xihua_1
“Lily! What’s happened to you?”
In a wooded area of Gonzalez City.
The masked woman clutched her chest, fleeing in distress to a cave.
“Let your master take a look quickly!”
A middle-aged woman emerged from the cave.
She grabbed the masked woman’s hand and, frowning, asked, “How did this happen!”
“Master…”
Lily Jorden suddenly threw herself into the middle-aged woman’s arms, crying out, “I, your disciple, am incompetent. Not only did I fail to capture the Dragon King, but I also lost your treasure. Wu…”
Thinking of the injustices she had suffered, Lily Jorden sobbed in pain.
She had always been a child of heaven since she was young.
But now, she was being crushingly outstripped in talent!
Humiliated!
“You went looking for trouble with the Dragon King?”
The middle-aged woman’s expression turned icy, and she scolded slightly, “Why act so recklessly!”
“I…”
Lily Jorden, holding back tears, stood before her master like a child who had done something wrong.
“My lifelong dream as Nine Spirits was to seek the elixir of immortality for our founder. But now, your founder has passed away. I wished to seize the secret to eternal life, only for it to be burned directly before your founder’s spirit.”
Nine Spirits looked outside the cave, lost in painful memories.
“Now, only the Dragon King, who still lives among us, possesses the secret to immortality!”
“Master, Lily knows she was wrong!”
Lily Jorden lowered her head, biting her lip, resembling a child that had made mistakes.
“No matter, clashing with him has allowed us to gauge his true capabilities.”
Nine Spirits eyed Lily Jorden in front of her and nodded with approval, “Though you’ve been injured, the ability to escape from the Dragon King’s staff indeed shows some skill.”
“Junior sister! Are you alright?”
At that moment, a man walked into the cave.
Seeing the bloodied white gauze on Lily Jorden’s face, he flew into a rage, “Who did this! I’ll go kill him right now!”
“Christian Martinez, don’t rush to care for her!”
Nine Spirits knitted her brows slightly and asked, “How is the task I assigned you coming along?”
“Master, I’ve already made contact with the people of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance. They too wish to eliminate the Dragon King, but the news that the Sealing Dragon Platform has been activated is spreading. There’s big pressure within the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance…”
Christian Martinez’s eyes remained fixed on Lily Jorden.
“Master, does immortality truly exist?”
Reluctantly shifting his gaze from Lily, he looked towards Nine Spirits.
Rumors.
The reclusive Dragon King, eternally alive!
Master of the secret to undying life!
He had once casually prolonged the life of a feeble old man by decades.
And he had made many unparalleled masters age overnight.
Gone, along with their paths!
But no one had ever seen the Dragon King with their own eyes.
It wasn’t even certain whether that young man was truly the Dragon King!
They had merely received a letter, inviting Nine Spirits and her company to share in the secret to eternal life!
People live but a single life, destined to die in the end.
Yet that desire in one’s heart makes the temptation of immortality irresistible to anyone!
So Nine Spirits came with her two disciples.
To pursue the secret of everlasting life.
And with the so-called ‘last wish of the founder’, nothing but a lie, they arrived in Gonzalez City.
Before arriving in Gonzalez City, she had repeatedly hinted, giving Lily Jorden the chance to gauge the Dragon King’s strength.
Perhaps he was truly the Dragon King, or perhaps not.
But now it seemed, this person was very powerful!
Even Lily Jorden, widely acknowledged as a child of heaven, had only met with a miserable defeat.
“Eternal life…”
Nine Spirits herself was not sure.
But she could not resist the temptation!
“Lily Jorden, when you used Fabian Percival as a pawn and arranged for Iron Armor to attempt that assassination, did the Dragon King know about it?”
She turned to look at Lily Jorden.
The master and disciples had been in Gonzalez City for over ten days.
New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.
During this time, Lily Jorden and the people from the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance had been trying to use local forces to suppress Julius Reed.
But the outcome was clear.
They had failed.
“When did I ever work with Fabian Percival?”
Lily Jorden was stunned.
“You didn’t?”
Nine Spirits was equally taken aback.
“I don’t even know who Iron Armor is, the one you mentioned!”
Lily Jorden’s brows furrowed slightly, “These days, I’ve been following those people around, just waiting for today to carry out the assassination!”
“Damn it!”
Nine Spirits drew in a sharp breath, “We’ve been used!”
“Master, what’s going on?”
Christian Martinez also didn’t understand.
He had always stayed here with his master, while Lily Jorden was responsible for cooperating with the people from the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.
“It’s clear, someone wants to use you as a distraction!”
Nine Spirits sneered coldly, “The people from the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance are truly cunning! After the Dragon King sees you, he will naturally assume that we were the ones who sent the iron-clad men to intercept Aron Jackson!”
“What should we do?”
Christian Martinez punched the cave wall, saying venomously, “These damn dogs! Master, let me go kill them!”
“Don’t be rash! I have my own plans for this matter!”
Nine Spirits looked at Lily Jorden, walked over, and gently lifted the jade pendant on her chest.
“What’s this about?”
The jade pendant had actually exploded!
Her eyes were filled with shock!
“Accidentally, during the fight, it was hit.”
Lily Jorden gritted her teeth, wishing she could skin Julius Reed alive!
But she couldn’t say it out loud.
“Be more careful next time!”
Nine Spirits tore off the jade pendant, clutching it in her hand with great distress.
“Christian Martinez, stay here and take care of your junior sister. I’m going out for a bit!”
After a gust of wind passed outside, a strange light appeared in Nine Spirits’ eyes.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of junior sister.”
Christian Martinez looked at Lily Jorden with great concern, “Junior sister, don’t worry! I’ll help you get your flute back soon! While I’m at it, I’ll teach that bastard a lesson!”
He had always liked his junior sister, but it seemed…
His junior sister didn’t care for him.
Even so, Christian Martinez still tirelessly offered his help.
“You can’t beat him.”
Lily Jorden said coldly.
The so-called Hidden Dragon King, was he really just a youth?
She found it hard to believe!
As for immortality, Lily Jorden was even more skeptical!
Could anyone in this world truly live forever?
Yet these words, to Christian Martinez’s ears, were mockery!
Contempt!
“Junior sister, you really underestimate me too much!”
Christian Martinez clenched his fists tightly, turned around, and said in a deep voice, “Senior brother will prove it to you, that this so-called Dragon King, in front of me, has only one choice— to kneel and beg for mercy!”
After speaking, he strode away!
“Stop!”
Lily Jorden became anxious, “You’re truly no match for him!”
Indeed, Christian Martinez was very strong, but Lily Jorden had just been severely beaten!
“I will prove it to you!”
Christian Martinez left without looking back!
“Hiss…”
Lily Jorden was about to chase after him, but the pain in her wound was excruciating.
At this time.
Nine Spirits followed the shadows and finally arrived at the edge of a cliff.
In front of her stood an old woman.
The woman was fat and only about one and a half meters tall.
She was dressed in attire from the Rosy Dynasty era, and in her hand—
She held a python staff!
“How goes the task?”
The old woman asked slowly.
“There has been one encounter, and next, I will arrange for them to meet again.”
Nine Spirits knelt respectfully in front of the old woman.
“Good!”
The old woman smashed her cane onto a stone at her feet, “Men, they only love money, power, and women! I, Granny Xihua, refuse to believe that he, the Dragon King, is not a man!”
“Lily Jorden is a descendant of the Dragon King’s old friend. Back then, Ian Jorden died miserably for him. Now, Lily Jorden is poisoned with a strange toxin, and the cure lies with only two people…”
As she spoke, a smug look flashed in Nine Spirits’ eyes.
“Haha! Dragon King, I will make you regret your past decisions!”
Granny Xihua laughed loudly, and her python staff pierced directly into the rock!
Three inches deep!
