Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1260 - 1257: Wolong Ridge

Upon hearing Bai Yulong’s introduction, Li Chen followed the direction of his pointing finger, looking one by one.

Qu Linglong, true to her name, was a girl with a delicate figure and a doll-like face, resembling a middle school student from Earth.

Though she maintained a smile throughout, she exuded an icy aloofness that kept people at a distance.

This was an inherent arrogance!

Of course, she had the capital to be so proud.

Hu Qiandao, with his full face of rugged beard, somewhat resembled a man from Northeast China, speaking frankly and straightforwardly, clearly showing a forthright nature.

Zhao Tianhong, though also smiling, gave Li Chen the impression that it was a superficial smile, not reaching his eyes, quite insincere, a person with deep scheming.

After listening to their introductions, Li Chen nodded slightly.

"My name is Wuming, and these two are my friends, Muu Xian’er and Xia Ning’er!"

Upon hearing Li Chen refer to himself as "Wuming," Bai Yulong and the others couldn’t help but be startled.

Then, they exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat complex.

Anyone with half a brain could tell that this "Wuming" wasn’t Li Chen’s real name.

However, since the other party chose not to reveal his true name, they couldn’t press further.

Besides, it wasn’t really important.

After all, a name is just a label.

Whether it was Zhang San, Li Si, or Wang Ermazi, there was no essential difference.

As long as the other party could assist them, that was enough.

Muu Xian’er and Xia Ning’er exchanged greetings with Bai Yulong’s group one by one.

After a brief exchange, both parties went straight to the point.

Bai Yulong pointed to the lush and verdant Wolong Ridge in the distance and explained, "Recently, there was a phenomenon at Wolong Ridge. Some cultivators claimed to have seen a Demon Flood Dragon in the mountains, and we think there might be opportunities inside, so we plan to explore."

"However, we’ve heard that the Demon Flood Dragon is very powerful, with a combat strength comparable to a Divinity Transformation True Monarch. We fear that just the four of us might not return, so we specially invite you to join us. With the combined strength of the seven of us, even if we encounter the Demon Flood Dragon, we will have the power to fight!"

Upon hearing the name "Demon Flood Dragon," Li Chen furrowed his brows, inquiring about the specifics of the Demon Flood Dragon.

It turned out that Wolong Ridge was once a demon’s lair. A Jiao Long took over, becoming the mountain king, causing havoc in all directions.

This is how Wolong Ridge got its name.

Later, a Divinity Transformation Expert known as Chuyun True Monarch ascended the mountain to slay the dragon, sealing the Demon Flood Dragon within the mountain at the cost of burning his flesh.

As time passed, the seal might have weakened, and there are signs that the Demon Flood Dragon is breaking free.

"A Divinity Transformation True Monarch had to burn his flesh to seal the Demon Flood Dragon. If it really breaks free, just a few of us may not be its match, right?"

The questioner was Muu Xian’er.

As she asked this, she felt inexplicably guilty, often casting glances toward Li Chen.

After all, Li Chen was a prodigy, and even if the Demon Flood Dragon existed, he could probably handle it alone.

Li Chen did not dismantle Muu Xian’er’s question but instead watched Bai Yulong and the others with interest.

Bai Yulong seemed prepared for this question and responded calmly, "Miss Muu may not know, but the Demon Flood Dragon has been sealed for a thousand years. Even if it successfully breaks the seal, its combat strength is certainly not what it used to be."

"If there are opportunities inside, that would be great. If we happen to be unrelated to the opportunities, our trip would still rid the people of a menace. Of course, we would not let the three of you take unnecessary risks. If there are no opportunities, I am willing to offer a million top-grade Spirit Stones as compensation!"

Hearing Bai Yulong’s sincere proposal, Li Chen smiled, tacitly agreeing to their proposal.

Both Muu Xian’er and Xia Ning’er took Li Chen as their backbone.

Since Li Chen had no objections, neither did they.

The seven of them briefly discussed and decided to enter the mountain early the next morning.

The next day, at dawn!

Li Chen, Bai Yulong, and their seven-member group grandly headed toward Wolong Ridge.

From a high altitude, Wolong Ridge appeared like a giant dragon crouching in the mountain stream.

The main peak, Sky-reaching Peak, was over ten thousand meters high, two thousand meters taller than Earth’s highest peak, Mount Everest.

As they walked, Bai Yulong meticulously introduced Li Chen and the others to the details about Wolong Ridge and the Demon Flood Dragon.

Besides, they subtly probed into Li Chen and his group’s background.

However, they did not gain any substantial information.

Qu Linglong blinked her lively eyes and asked, "Did you all come from the Flame Dragon Dynasty?"

Upon hearing Qu Linglong’s unexpected inquiry, Muu Xue’er and Xia Ning’er’s eyes slightly narrowed.

Li Chen smiled calmly and asked, "Yes, why do you ask?"

Qu Linglong, with her lively eyes, curiously asked, "Recently, a prodigious talent emerged in the Flame Dragon Dynasty. With overwhelming strength, he slew the Chief Heavenly Pride of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, Chuu Ying, and ranked 81st on the Hidden Dragon List. Have you heard of him?"

Li Chen replied nonchalantly, "Yeah, what’s the matter?"

"Have you ever seen that prodigy, Li Chen? Is he handsome?"

Upon hearing the name "Li Chen," Qu Linglong’s bright eyes immediately lit up.

She seemed very interested in this "prodigious talent, Li Chen."

Li Chen, looking carefree, replied casually, "Haven’t seen him, but I bet he’s just as handsome as me!"

After hearing Li Chen’s words, Qu Linglong stared at him for a moment, then rolled her eyes.

"Hmph, you’re so narcissistic! Not to dampen your spirits, but your cultivation, though commendable, is nowhere near that of Li Zhenjun!"

After that, she no longer paid attention to Li Chen and instead cradled her face, like an Earthly fangirl longing to meet her idol, wearing a starry-eyed expression, and began muttering to herself.

"I wonder when I might witness his unparalleled grace."

Hearing Qu Linglong’s words, Muu Xian’er wanted to laugh to herself, thinking: Isn’t he right before your eyes, not far at all?

Bai Yulong, fearing Qu Linglong’s careless words, quickly stepped forward with an awkward smile.

"Brother Wuming, my cousin just speaks like this, she didn’t mean any harm, please don’t take her words to heart!"

Hearing Bai Yulong’s words, Li Chen was somewhat surprised.

"Oh, so you two are relatives?"

Bai Yulong nodded, responding, "Yes, I’m sorry if my cousin’s words made Brother Wuming laugh!"

Just then, Hu Qiandao suddenly shouted in surprise.

"Look ahead; there seems to be black fog!"

Indeed, the area ahead was shrouded in layers of black fog, as if demons were causing chaos within.

Faintly, low and vicious wolf howls could be heard emanating from deep within the black fog...
