Chapter 2027: Chapter 2024: Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant


“Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother!”


The Huang Family First Brother looked at the three corpses on the ground, his eyes bloodshot and filled with pain.


Lin Bai turned to look at the Huang Family First Brother, his expression growing colder.


The Huang Family First Brother, with bloodred eyes, howled forlornly at Lin Bai, “It’s all because of you!”


Lin Bai replied coldly, “You have spent years on Evil Dragon Island ambushing and killing warriors, plundering valuables; at that time you should have known this day would come!”


The Huang Family First Brother howled desperately, “I’ll fight you to the death!”


As he spoke, the Huang Family First Brother took out several jade slips from his storage bag and crushed them forcefully, turning them into terrifying flames!


Under the command of the Huang Family First Brother, dozens of flames surged toward Lin Bai!


“Three Feet Qingfeng!”


Lin Bai’s expression hardened, and he thrust his sword forward.


The sharp sword light struck the flames, exploding with a loud bang, sparks flew everywhere.


After shattering the Huang Family First Brother’s flames, Lin Bai’s sword aimed at the Huang Family First Brother’s throat.


The Huang Family First Brother’s expression turned panicked, and he staggered back, realizing that in his current state, he was no match for Lin Bai.


“Stop!”


“Wait, Lin Bai, hear me out!”


The Huang Family First Brother quickly said.


Lin Bai’s eyes were cold: “What’s left to say?”


The Huang Family First Brother said, “I have a great treasure with me, I’ll exchange it for my life!”


Lin Bai sneered, “I’m not interested!”


Upon hearing this, the Huang Family First Brother turned pale; he shouted unwillingly, “Don’t you care about the greatest treasure on Evil Dragon Island, the Sealed Dragon Well? Don’t you want the treasures on the dragon corpse?”


Buzz buzz —


When he heard this, Lin Bai’s sword paused, stopping in front of the Huang Family First Brother.


Seeing Lin Bai halt his sword, the Huang Family First Brother sighed slightly in relief. He quickly took a dragon-shaped jade pendant from his storage bag, held it tightly in his hand, and needed only to exert a bit of force for it to shatter!


Lin Bai asked, “I’ll give you the time for three sentences!”


The Huang Family First Brother, drenched in sweat, quickly thought as if organizing his language on how to convey everything about this matter to Lin Bai in just three sentences to trade for a glimmer of hope!


Soon, the Huang Family First Brother began to speak!


“Deep within Evil Dragon Island, there is a place called the Sealed Dragon Well, which has been sealed by a powerful magic circle for years. It is rumored to be the place where Lord Yuan Mo sealed the dragon corpse back then!”


“After numerous warriors have explored for years, to enter the Sealed Dragon Well, you must have eight jade pendants appear simultaneously to open the Sealed Dragon Well!”


“And the jade pendant in my hand is one of the eight!”


“If you spare my life today, I can give you this jade pendant. But if you don’t intend to spare me, then I will shatter this pendant!”


“If I can’t have it, then you should not even think about getting it!”


A cold glint appeared in the eyes of the Huang Family First Brother.


“I’ve finished my three sentences.” The Huang Family First Brother said coldly.


Upon hearing this, Lin Bai frowned.


Currently, Lin Bai is still in the Sky Valley Mountain Range and has yet to venture deep into Evil Dragon Island. He was unsure whether what the Huang Family First Brother said was true or false!


Even if he was deceiving Lin Bai, Lin Bai had no way to verify!


“The jade pendant of the Sealed Dragon Well!”


Su Ling Su and Jiang Heng exclaimed, their eyes trembling, looking at the jade pendant in the Huang Family First Brother’s hand!


Lin Bai turned to ask Su Ling Su, “Senior Sister Su Ling Su, have you heard of this thing?”


Su Ling Su walked slowly to Lin Bai, speaking softly, “I have been cultivating on Evil Dragon Island for several years; only five years ago, by chance, I followed some senior brothers from the outer sect to go deep into Evil Dragon Island!”


“At that time, I heard these senior brothers mention the Sealed Dragon Well deep in Evil Dragon Island!”


“Such a thing does exist, just as this man said, the Sealed Dragon Well is sealed with a magic circle left by Lord Yuan Mo for years and cannot be opened!”


“It is said that only a dragon-shaped jade pendant can open the Sealed Dragon Well!”


Su Ling Su said softly.


Lin Bai’s expression darkened upon hearing Su Ling Su’s words.


Immediately, Lin Bai looked at the Huang Family First Brother and said, “You can say three more sentences!”


The Huang Family First Brother was stunned, revealing a sharp look in his eyes. After a moment of contemplation, he quickly said, “I previously said that we four brothers once joined forces to kill a warrior at the third level of the Life-and-Death Realm; this dragon-shaped jade pendant was found in his storage bag!”


“Besides this dragon-shaped jade pendant, we discovered a message-recording jade slip, on which are the messages of the other seven owners of the dragon-shaped jade pendants!”


“The other seven agreed that on the fifteenth of August, that is, two months from now, they would jointly open the Sealed Dragon Well!”


“I’ve finished my words.” The Huang Family First Brother’s expression was as gloomy as water!


Lin Bai summarized the useful information from the Huang Family First Brother’s six sentences.


The so-called Sealed Dragon Well seems to be the place where Lord Yuan Mo sealed the divine dragon he killed back then. There lies a dragon’s corpse, and seals created by Lord Yuan Mo are placed on the Sealed Dragon Well, requiring eight dragon-shaped jade pendants to open it.


Previously, the other seven owners of the dragon-shaped jade pendants had already arranged for all warriors with dragon-shaped jade pendants to go to the Sealed Dragon Well on the fifteenth of August and open it together to search for treasures on the dragon corpse!


Lin Bai took a deep breath and thought, “If there really is a dragon corpse beneath the Sealed Dragon Well, then who knows whether there is any dragon blood left on it…!”


“Dragon blood is indeed a great supplement for the Devouring Sword Spirit!”


“True dragon blood, among all heavens and myriad realms, is comparable to the blood of the Giant God Clan!”


“If there is still dragon blood on the corpse, then it would save me the trouble of slaughtering monsters on Evil Dragon Island to obtain spiritual energy crystals!”


Lin Bai squinted his eyes, taking an interest in the dragon corpse under the Sealed Dragon Well!


The Huang Family First Brother saw Lin Bai pondering and weighing the pros and cons, he was drenched in sweat, knowing full well that if Lin Bai were not moved and did not intend to go to the Sealed Dragon Well, he would surely die today at Lin Bai’s hands.


After contemplating for a long time, Lin Bai raised his eyes to look at the Huang Family First Brother.


The Huang Family First Brother immediately perked up, knowing this was the moment to decide his life and death.


“Alright! Leave the dragon-shaped jade pendant and the message-recording jade slip you obtained, and I will spare your life!” Lin Bai said coldly.


The Huang Family First Brother’s expression flickered, he took out another jade slip from his storage bag, then leaped up, and in the instant he threw the dragon-shaped jade pendant and jade slip towards Lin Bai, he rapidly fled away!


“Lin Bai, I will remember today’s enmity, and one day I will make sure you pay it back a hundredfold!”


After the Huang Family First Brother left, his vicious roar still echoed in mid-air.


Lin Bai’s expression flickered, revealing a killing intent, watching the departing figure of the Huang Family First Brother, but he didn’t act!
