The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

Chapter 2031: The Eight Gather


Deep within Evil Dragon Island, a misty jungle swirls with miasma.

At the very center of this jungle, there is a massive well opening, about ten thousand meters wide.

The well opening is octagonal, with each angle sporting a thick iron chain leading downwards.

At this moment, at the edge of the Sealed Dragon Well, Lan Heng and Jia Qing stand.

As they said, the warriors in the forest surrounding the Sealed Dragon Well are not limited to just the two of them.

In the forest, countless eyes are watching the Sealed Dragon Well, watching Lan Heng and Jia Qing.

"Two of the eight for the Sealed Dragon Well have already arrived, where could the other six be?"

"The jade slip issued by Zhang Quan this year has already received feedback from the eight, so barring any surprises, the Sealed Dragon Well should certainly open this year!"

"The fifteenth of August is finally going to arrive."

"Legend has it that beneath this Sealed Dragon Well lies the burial site of the Divine Dragon that Lord Yuan Mo slew back in the day, one wonders if it's true or false."

"If true, every item on the dragon corpse would be an invaluable treasure!"

"Indeed, dragon skin can be used to forge defensive magical treasures, dragon bone can be used to make indestructible weaponry, and most importantly, the dragon blood… a single drop contains the power of the Divine Dragon, whether for alchemy or other uses, the benefits are plentiful!"

"Wait and see, once they open the Sealed Dragon Well, let's see if we can't grab some good stuff amidst the chaos!"

"..."

The people hiding in the forest each harbor their own intentions, eyes eagerly watching the Sealed Dragon Well!

On Evil Dragon Island, it's said all the monsters were formed from the lingering grievances after the Divine Dragon's demise.

The monsters formed from lingering resentment are so powerful, then isn't the Divine Dragon even more extraordinary!

The most valuable item on Evil Dragon Island must be the dragon corpse under the Sealed Dragon Well.

A day later, more warriors arrived at this place.

Lan Heng and Jia Qing glanced over.

This person was a black-clad, black-robed warrior with a bamboo hat obscuring his features.

If Lin Bai were present, he would certainly recognize this person as someone he had seen atop Lingtai Mountain… Lin Yuanrong!

"Senior Brother Lan Heng, Junior Sister Jia Qing…" Lin Yuanrong smiled slightly upon arriving, removed his bamboo hat, revealing a resolute and steady face, and approached Lan Heng and Jia Qing with a smile.

Lan Heng glanced over, nodded slightly, with a proud demeanor, but did not speak.

Instead, Jia Qing smiled and said, "This should be the one…?"

Lin Yuanrong smiled courteously, "In the humble Lin Yuanrong, one of the holders of the eight dragon-shaped jade pendants!"

Jia Qing nodded slightly.

The three stood together and began chatting and laughing.

But after a few words, Lin Yuanrong noticed that Lan Heng didn't seem interested in conversing with him, so he simply smiled awkwardly and went to sit cross-legged at a distance to rest with his eyes closed.

Yet in Lin Yuanrong's mind, he coldly laughed: "Hmph, the Lan Clan looks down on people, just wait, when my time comes, I'll make the Lan Clan kneel before me!"

Once Lin Yuanrong walked away, Jia Qing laughed and said, "Senior Brother Lan Heng, it seems you don't particularly like this warrior?"

Lan Heng sneered, "This person with such a treacherous appearance must be someone with devious intentions, and since that's the case, why would I associate with him? If I do, who knows when he might bite me back?"

As time passed, more holders of the dragon-shaped jade pendants arrived.

Zhu Jingyi was the sixth warrior to arrive.

After Zhu Jingyi arrived, he glanced at Lan Heng but did not greet him and went to a corner to rest with his eyes closed.

Jia Qing laughed, "Senior Brother Lan Heng, Zhu Jingyi has arrived."

Lan Heng sneered, "That's just Li Jiuge's dog, right?"

Glancing over, Lan Heng also showed no interest in greeting.

Jia Qing wore a smile, though she originally had no intention to greet, hearing Lan Heng mention Li Jiuge's name, hesitated a bit, but went over to greet Zhu Jingyi nonetheless!

With Zhu Jingyi, Lan Heng, Jia Qing, and Lin Yuanrong's arrival, six of the eight dragon-shaped jade pendant holders were already present, only Lin Bai and Zhang Quan remained.

"Everyone's early!"

At this moment, a hearty laugh came from the forest.

The crowd near the Sealed Dragon Well turned to see a carefree young man emerging from the woods.

"Senior Brother Zhang Quan!"

Zhu Jingyi and others cupped their fists in salute.

Even Lan Heng took another look at Zhang Quan.

Zhang Quan chuckled, "Junior Brother Lan Heng, long time no see!"

Lan Heng lightly smiled, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Zhang Quan, everything's well!"

Zhang Quan smiled lightly, and then said, "I was surprised to hear Junior Sister Jia Qing also had a dragon-shaped jade pendant."

Jia Qing laughed, "I worked hard to obtain it."

Zhang Quan looked around at the others and said, "Junior Brother Zhu Jingyi."

Zhu Jingyi lightly chuckled, "Senior Brother Zhang Quan."

Zhang Quan continued with a smile, "Junior Brother Lin Yuanrong, Junior Brother Li Moran, Junior Brother Zhao Ying!"

Lin Yuanrong and the other three cupped their fists in salute toward Zhang Quan.

Zhang Quan glanced around and furrowed his brow, saying, "There are eight voicemails on the message-recording jade slip, and now Lan Heng, Zhu Jingyi, Lin Yuanrong, Jia Qing, Li Moran, Zhao Ying, you've all gathered here."

"And yet, I haven't seen… Junior Brother Zhang Tai…"

Zhang Quan said with a slight frown.

Zhang Tai was the warrior who left his name on the message-recording jade slip but was later ambushed and killed by the Huang Family Four Brothers.

As Zhang Quan frowned, a hurried shadow appeared from the distance in the woods and arrived before the Sealed Dragon Well, smiling and cupping his fists, "Sorry everyone, I'm late!"

Everyone turned to look at this person.

Especially Lin Yuanrong, upon seeing this person, his pupils narrowed fiercely, "It's him!"

He Ran arrived, it was Lin Bai!

Zhang Quan frowned as he looked at Lin Bai.

Lan Heng, coldly, "Who are you, and why are you here? What happened to Zhang Tai?"

"Zhang Tai…" Lin Bai froze, recalling the name on the message-recording jade slip, realizing the warrior ambushed and killed by the Huang Family Four Brothers was Zhang Tai!

Lin Bai smiled slightly and took out a dragon-shaped jade pendant from his storage bag, saying calmly, "It seems Senior Brother Zhang Tai can no longer make it!"

Zhu Jingyi was slightly taken aback, "Did you kill Zhang Tai?"

Lin Bai chuckled, "It seems my fellow senior brothers misunderstand; I did not kill Senior Brother Zhang Tai. This matter is long and complex!"

Zhang Quan now, with a full smile, chuckled, saying, "Since Junior Brother Zhang Tai can't come, fortunately, this junior brother got the dragon-shaped jade pendant. As long as we have the jade pendant, it doesn't matter who comes… it's the same!"

Zhang Quan understood the situation and decided not to pursue it further!

According to Zhang Quan, as long as all eight dragon-shaped jade pendants are present, it doesn't matter who holds them!

Zhang Quan laughed, "Since all eight of us are here, let's bring out your dragon-shaped jade pendants, and we open the Sealed Dragon Well!"
