His complexion was sallow, he was skinny, his eyes were cloudy, and he looked extremely ordinary.
But when Su Yi and Xi Ning followed Jing Hongyu into the main hall, they immediately realized that the gray-robed old man was a powerful martial artist!!
Soon, Jing Hongyu introduced the identity of the old man in gray robe.
Well City!
The great elder of the Giant Whale Spirit Clan, the most powerful martial artist.
Many years ago, Jingcheng suffered a disaster from the gods and was plagued by divine tribulations, severely weakening its vitality.
At this auction, the purpose of the Taihe-level battle suit auctioned by the Giant Whale Spirit Clan was to resolve the divine calamity on Jingcheng.
"You two, please take your seats quickly."
Jing Cheng smiled kindly and asked Su Yi and Xi Ning to take their seats one by one. He also ordered his retinue to serve tea with thoughtful and polite etiquette.
Su Yi never liked small talk, so he said bluntly: "Your Excellency, please invite me here. What can you teach me?"
Jingcheng said solemnly: "I don't want to take the advice seriously. I'll tell you the truth. Similar to the bronze plate engraved with the secret text of the Dragon Palace, our clan still has many in hand. This time I invited fellow Taoists to come here just for this matter. I want to ask fellow Taoists for help."
, decipher the Dragon Palace secrets on those treasures."
Su Yi was not surprised and said: "Okay."
"happy!"
Jing Cheng smiled and said, "Hong Yu, please take out those Dragon Palace secret texts and let Fellow Daoist Li identify them."
"yes!"
Jing Hongyu took the order and took out a scroll from his sleeve robe.
Unfolding the scroll, you can see that there are many twisted and weird words written on it, which are the secret texts of the Dragon Palace that have long since disappeared in the Great Desolation Period!
But Su Yi frowned.
This giant whale spirit tribe is very unauthentic!
He was obviously wary of himself, worried that he would see through the secret texts of the Dragon Palace on those Dragon Palace relics, so he printed out part of the secret texts of the Dragon Palace for himself to identify.
Su Yi didn't even need to think about it to know that the secret text of the Dragon Palace on this scroll must have been out of order and could not be formed into sentences. In addition, there must be many missing parts.
What you should be wary of is seeing some big secret in it!
Xi Ning obviously noticed this, her eyes were slightly strange, and she was quite curious as to what Su Yi would do in this situation.
But Su Yi stood up and said, "Fellow Taoist Xining, let's go."
Turn around and leave.
"Wait a minute!"
Jing Hongyu said, "Fellow Taoist, are you going back on your word?"
"Since it's cooperation, we have to show sincerity, but I don't see any sincerity from your giant whale spirit clan."
Su Yi said lightly.
Jing Hongyu frowned.
Jingcheng smiled and said: "Please calm down, fellow Taoist. To be honest, those treasures engraved with the secret texts of the Dragon Palace must contain big secrets. Our clan is also worried that if fellow Taoist uncovers the secrets but deliberately conceals it, then
If so, our clan will suffer a big loss."
Su Yi snorted and said: "It's very simple. You take out those treasures and I will identify the secret texts of the Dragon Palace for you one by one. With your ability, you can naturally easily tell whether I am telling nonsense."
The so-called Dragon Palace Secret Text is, after all, a kind of writing.
As long as it is written, it only needs to be compared and verified one by one, and it is difficult to be deceived by others.
Jing Cheng was silent for a moment and said: "Fellow Taoist, our clan has agreed that you and this fellow Taoist Xining are not bound by the oath contract and can go to the Dragon Palace ruins with our clan to explore opportunities. These conditions are enough to express my
If you show the sincerity of the clan, why do you still have to understand the secrets hidden in those Dragon Palace secret texts? Isn't this... a bit too much?"
His tone was a little cold.
Su Yi chuckled and said, "Listen, you are asking me for something. If you think it's too much, you don't have to cooperate."
Jing Cheng raised his turbid eyes, stared at Su Yi, and said, "Fellow Taoist, it will be difficult if we break up."
The voice was low, with a hint of menace.
The atmosphere in the hall became dull.
Jing Hongyu persuaded from one side: "Fellow Taoist, the secret text of the Dragon Palace is extremely involved. You only need to help us identify it, and you can get benefits without worrying about any danger. Why not do it?"
Su Yi ignored Jing Hongyu. He looked at Jing Cheng and said with a half-smile, "Threaten me?"
Jing Cheng frowned.
He was a powerful martial artist, but he was provoked so rudely by a young man, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.
Before he could speak, Xi Ning, who had been watching with cold eyes, suddenly raised a finger.
laugh!
A wisp of green light, like a sword's edge, floated in front of Jingcheng's eyes out of thin air, only three inches away from his eyebrows.
The green light was bright and dazzling, and contained the terrifying power of thunder. It suddenly appeared, making Jingcheng's hair stand on end, and chills running down his spine.
A pair of cloudy eyes shrank, feeling horrified.
Given his behavior, he was unable to react immediately when faced with this sudden blow!
He even suspected that if the other party really wanted to be cruel, he would have been killed on the spot!
"Fellow Taoist Xining, what are you doing?"
Jing Hongyu broke into a cold sweat and his expression changed completely.
I didn't even think that this woman, who looked as calm as water and had an aloof and ethereal temperament, would actually take action without saying a word!
Moreover, the strength is so terrifying!!
Xi Ning's tone was calm, and her red lips whispered two words: "Threat."
Everyone: "..."
Su Yi was surprised and couldn't help but want to give her a thumbs up. This woman's temperament was really admirable, and she actually thought of him together.
Before, he also planned to take action, but Xi Ning beat him to it.
"There is something easy to say, there is something easy to say."
Jing Cheng took a deep breath and put on a smile on his old face, "Since we are cooperating, there is no point in fighting and killing. Let's do this. I will take out those treasures now and ask you two to take a look and treat each other with sincerity."
Don’t hide anything!”
Xi Ning picked it up with her fingertips.
The green light hanging between Jingcheng's eyebrows quietly disappeared.
Jing Cheng was relieved and did not dare to hesitate any longer. With a wave of his sleeves, six bronze fragments emerged. The largest ones were two feet long and were similar to the bronze plates Su Yi obtained at the auction.
The small one is only about the size of a palm.
Without exception, they are all rusty and have strange and twisted Dragon Palace secret texts engraved on them.
"Fellow Daoist Li, please help me."
Jingcheng said with a smile.
This old guy can change his face faster than anyone else, and he can bend and stretch.
Su Yi didn't say anything, and didn't bother to ridicule the other party. He just put away the bronze fragments and looked through them one by one.
At the same time, he used his spiritual thoughts to communicate with the soul Zhan Oleize hidden in his body in the form of a token.
Soon, the secret texts of the Dragon Palace on the six bronze fragments were recognized one by one.
This is, those secret texts are severely mutilated and intermittent, like a complete article that has been torn into countless pieces.
Some words and sentences are so badly broken that nothing can be read at all.
In the end, only three incomplete sentences of the secret text attracted Su Yi's attention.
“There is no path to blessing or misfortune, only people call it upon themselves!”
"Retributions for good and evil follow you like a shadow!"
"But even if our Dragon Palace lineage is guilty, why do we do this?"
...Seeing this, Su Yi recalled the intermittent words on the first bronze plate and roughly judged that the disappearance of the East China Sea Dragon Palace was most likely related to a catastrophic disaster.
As for the people of the Dragon Palace lineage, even before their death they could not figure out why they suffered such a catastrophe, which made them feel resentful and unwilling.
These bronze fragments should have been left by a strong man from the Dragon Palace lineage, and what they record is the inside story of when the Dragon Palace lineage in the East China Sea suffered a catastrophe!
Unfortunately, these fragments are severely damaged and corroded by rust. It is impossible to infer more details from the severely broken handwriting.
Thinking of this, Su Yi's heart moved. He raised his eyes to look at Jingcheng and said, "These treasures are not complete."
Xi Ning's cold and deep eyes also looked over, and Jing Cheng froze.
He quickly explained: "To be honest with you two, these treasure fragments were obtained from the Dragon Palace ruins, and indeed they are only part of them, but most of the others are scattered in the Dragon Palace ruins. At present, our clan only has these in our hands.
no others."
As he spoke, he pointed to his heart and said solemnly: "I can swear with my heart!"
"In that case, why don't you bring back all those treasure fragments?"
Xi Ning said, seeming to realize, "I understand, you can't do it."
Jing Cheng said bitterly: "That's true. The Dragon Palace ruins are unpredictable and dangerous, and murderous intent is everywhere. With old methods, when you enter the outer area of the Dragon Palace ruins, you will suffer all kinds of terrible killings. You don't dare to go deeper.
.”
The panic and fear on his face undoubtedly reminded him of the terrible experiences he encountered when he was exploring the ruins of the Dragon Palace.
And for a Taiwu-level being to be so afraid, one can imagine how dangerous the Dragon Palace ruins are.
Su Yi thought for a moment and then told the secret texts of the Dragon Palace that he had identified one by one.
Didn't hide it.
Because the secrets hidden in those secret texts are nothing at all, and there is no need to hide them.
Jing Cheng and Jing Hongyu checked one by one and found no problems, so they immediately felt relieved.
However, the contents of those Dragon Palace secret texts also left the two of them confused.
"If you prosper with wealth, you will perish with wealth... Greed... the source of all calamities?"
Xi Ning's star-like eyes flashed like a dream, and she was lost in thought, "There is no way for blessings and misfortunes, only people call it upon themselves, and the rewards of good and evil follow them like a shadow..."
"Could it be said that the demise of the Dragon Palace lineage is related to that treasure?"
Xi Ning's heart moved.
"Did Fellow Taoist see something?"
Jingcheng couldn't help but ask.
Xi Ning said calmly: "If you can bring out more similar treasures, maybe you can see some of the truth."
Jingcheng's expression froze and he smiled bitterly.
Jing Hongyu cupped his hands towards Su Yi and said: "When we enter the ruins of the Dragon Palace in a month, we will surely find many similar treasures. By then, I hope fellow Taoist Li will not hesitate to give me some advice. Don't worry, fellow daoist, we, the Giant Whale Spirit Clan, will definitely know how to do it by then."
Repay a favor and repay it generously!"
Jingcheng also nodded.
Soon, Su Yi and Xi Ning left.
"Fellow Taoist, how about we find a place to chat alone?"
On the way out, Xi Ning extended the invitation again.
Her figure was graceful and slender, and her pair of jade legs looked particularly straight and well-proportioned. Standing in front of Su Yi, she was only half a head shorter.
At this time, her starry eyes were like water, staring at Su Yi, with a trace of expectation on her ethereal and beautiful face.
