The tent was lifted.

A pair of indifferent, merciless vertical pupils flickered in the darkness.

"Master Kain, have you rested well?"

"Ah, much better. Now give me that little girl's hair, so I can perform the Tracking Technique."

"That would trouble you then."

A strand of hair flew in and landed on the table in front of Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode picked up the strand of hair and started chanting the spells seemingly genuine—

He actually knew this Magic!

However, the original Master Kain possessed the human version of the Magic Tracking Skill, whereas the Tracking Technique Wu Xiaode mastered came from another world—

The knowledge inheritance of the Purgatory Demon King!

So, when he performed it, the Void was filled with various malicious whispers, and phantom-like skulls appeared and disappeared.

Members of the Dragon Clan watched him for a while, surprised, "Master Kain, I thought the Tracking Technique you performed belonged to the humans' Arcane Magic."

"Be it human or Devil, I can do both, but the Devil's is indeed more effective," Wu Xiaode explained.

Unlike the version used by the human race, the Devil's version could also reveal the origin of this strand of hair.

At this moment, Wu Xiaode's mind was filled with everything related to this strand of hair from the past.

When Gjestastav was three years old, a few assassins came to collect her hair and blood, hoping to use them to unlock the Dragon King's Secret Treasure.

Unfortunately, they failed.

This strand of hair had been preserved until today.

"I've found the little girl's location, follow me!" Wu Xiaode said.

"Good!"

Several members of the Dragon Clan's King Slayer followed him as they flew towards the direction of the mountain range.

This was the darkest time of the day.

After flying for a while, they suddenly saw a desolate plain appear in front of them.

"Strange, where did the mountain range go?"

A member of the assassins spoke loudly.

"We probably flew over the mountain range and reached the plains beyond it!" Wu Xiaode shouted back.

"Look, there's a temple in front!"

"I sense that little girl's presence — she must be near the temple."

"Let's go check it out!"

The group quickened their pace and descended towards the temple.

They found a fat man squatting by the temple entrance, eating a bowl of noodles with big mouthfuls.

Upon seeing the group arrive, the fat man put down his bowl and waved his hand, saying:

"Whatever your reasons for coming here, the temple is not open to the public. Please leave."

The assassins exchanged glances.

They sensed a kinship presence from him, and moreover...

"Sir, you must be an expert who has Awakened the Dragon Curse. We ask humbly that you don't obstruct us, and you will be generously rewarded afterward," the leader of the Dragon Clan said with a bow.

Fat Sa suddenly became stern and asked:

"What are your true origins? I have wandered the All Worlds for a long time and never heard of an assassination on a Dragon King within any clan."

The leader sneered, "Friend, if you have to ask so much, I'm afraid you may not live long."

Fat Sa seemed startled and exclaimed, "Oh, threatening me? You can't even manage an Awakening, and you want to fight me?"

"We—" the leader started.

"Stop!" Wu Xiaode suddenly shouted.

Both parties halted and looked at him.

"Misunderstandings should be resolved, not inflamed. Let's not argue anymore and go about our business," Wu Xiaode said earnestly.

The leader hesitated, "But — the girl's presence is in the temple —"

"According to the Tracking Technique, she only stayed briefly in the temple. I've found the route she took to escape; let's hurry after her," Wu Xiaode said.

All four Dragon Clan's King Slayer exhaled in relief.

"So there's no need for conflict," the leader said.

"Indeed, let's get going," Wu Xiaode said.

He then shouted to the other side, "Hey, we're not going in anymore; do you still want to fight?"

"No fighting," said Fat Sa.

A potential battle dissipated into nothing.

Inside the temple.

The Angel of Extreme Good took out a pen and quickly wrote in a notebook:

"Both parties are dragons; fighting would damage the world, destroy flowers and plants, and hurt small animals, which isn't good."

"Wu Xiaode has successfully mediated, benefiting the common people, Merit +1."

Just as she finished writing, Wu Xiaode's Book of the Dead immediately flipped open, revealing a line of prompt runes:

"Ding! You have a new merit deposit."

Beautiful—

Keep advancing toward a bright future!

Wu Xiaode bowed to Fat Sa, saying:

"The green hills remain unchanged; till we meet again!"

Seeing this, the members of the Dragon Clan followed suit with a slight bow to him.

Fat Sa nodded indifferently.

The two parties separated.

Wu Xiaode led the four members of the Dragon Clan into the sky and continued on their way.

After a while.

The desolate expanse was no longer in sight.

In front of them, the snow-capped mountains rose and fell again.

The group had flown for only three to five minutes when Wu Xiaode suddenly exclaimed, "I sense her, quick, follow me!"

The Dragon Clan members immediately perked up and followed him as he descended into a plain amidst the wind and snow.

There, another temple stood on the plain.

Before the Dragon Clan members could speak, Wu Xiaode already uttered a cry of surprise.

"Another temple? Could it be that...?"

"Could it be what?" asked the Dragon Clan leader.

"It's part of a chain of temples like the one we just saw?" said Wu Xiaode.

"Not sure, but there seems to be a trace of that Dragon Clan orphan inside this temple; let's go down and take a look," said the Dragon Clan leader.

"Look, I told you, that little girl has escaped here," said Wu Xiaode.

"Master Kain's Tracking Technique is truly well-deservedly famous," complimented the leader.

The group landed together.

Just as they were about to enter the temple, a person came out.

— It was that fat man again.

"Sir, you were just at the other temple; how did you get here?"

Wu Xiaode gave a bow, voicing the question everyone had on their minds.

The fat man patted his belly and laughed, "You've obviously run into my brother. My brother and I look a lot alike, but we guard different temples."

"We wish to enter the temple; please step aside," the Dragon Clan leader said.

"Give way? No, this temple is not for you to enter, hurry along now!" the fat man repeatedly waved his hands and said.

"What if we must enter?" the Dragon Clan leader said.

"Then you'll have to leave your lives behind." the fat man said.

A deadly aura emanated from both sides at the same time.

The air seemed to quiet down as well.

Either side might strike at any moment.

"Wait a minute!"

Wu Xiaode suddenly jumped out, stood between the two sides, and said, "The saying goes, 'Better to resolve a feud than to fortify it.' We have no grudges or grievances, why must we fight to the death?"

"What do you mean?" the fat man asked.

Wu Xiaode didn't look at him, turned his head toward the Dragon Clan leader, "I sense that the little girl has already escaped, we must chase her!"

She escaped again?

What are we waiting for?

"Let's go!" the Dragon Clan leader said.

A few figures hurriedly leapt into the sky, chasing toward the distance.

Inside the temple.

The Angel of Extreme Good took out a pen and quickly wrote in a small notebook:

"Wu Xiaode successfully dissuaded a fight, benefiting the common people, merit +1."

No sooner had she finished writing than a new prompt rune appeared in Wu Xiaode's Book of the Dead:

"Ding! You have a new merit credited to your account."

—2 points of merit now!

If I do this a thousand more times, I'll rack up 1000 points of merit, and then, couldn't I grant myself a grand title?

Wu Xiaode was secretly delighted, but unexpectedly, the Dragon Clan leader approached him, hesitantly saying:

"Great Mage, sir."

"Hm? What is it?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"I feel like... we are going around in circles." the Dragon Clan leader said.

"How could that be, it's definitely your illusion—look, there's a temple ahead, let's go down and check it out!"

Wu Xiaode swiftly descended towards the desolate plain ahead.

Several dragons had no choice but to follow down.

"Ha, this time I've sensed it too, that little girl must be hiding in this temple." Wu Xiaode said.

"Then what are we waiting for, search!" the Dragon Clan leader said.

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the temple.

The four dragons declared in unison, "I knew it was so!"

The fat man at the temple entrance, unfazed and surprised, said:

"Have you seen my two brothers?"

Everyone fell silent, not knowing what to say.

Eventually, it was the leader who clasped his fists and said, "Please make an exception and let us go inside."

"I will kill you, but it won't just be me who strikes." the fat man said.

"You have accomplices?" the leader demanded.

Another figure appeared inside the temple.

It was a beautiful girl.

—Shen Xiujun!

As she stepped out, the dragons immediately sensed the aura of destruction emanating from her.

"It's a magical creature!"

The Dragon Clan leader couldn't help but take a step back.

The three dragons behind him also turned ashen.

—For this was a magical creature!

Only the existence that had awakened the Dragon Clan's high-level skills had any chance of contending with it.

These people meeting a magical creature meant more bad luck than good!

Not to mention there was also a dragon that had awakened the high-level powers of the Dragon Clan!

In the eyes of the despairing crowd, Shen Xiujun let out a cold laugh and raised her hand full of murderous intent:

"Go to hell—"

Just as magic was about to be released from her hand, a figure suddenly leaped out as swiftly as lightning, standing in front of her and exclaiming:

"Wait!"

"What now, do you have something to say for defiling the temple?" Shen Xiujun said with lethal intent.

"We are just searching for a little girl, with no intention of offending you, please don't take it amiss." Wu Xiaode said.

"Hmph, I don't see your sincerity." Shen Xiujun said.

Sincerity?

Wu Xiaode waved his hand at her, "Please wait a moment."

He turned back to the few dragons, whispering, "Did you hear that? The other side wants sincerity, I think we better pay off this disaster with money."

"Will it work?" the leader hesitated.

"A dead horse as a living horse doctor, brothers, we have no other choice." Wu Xiaode said.

Having no alternative, they took out their storage devices and brought out some treasures.

Wu Xiaode walked over with a pile of treasures, placed them in front of Shen Xiujun, and said,

"Here, this is all of our possessions, we ask you to be magnanimous and grant us a way out."

Shen Xiujun glanced at them, waved her hand, and said,

"Alright, on the strength of these treasures, you may go."

Merit +1!

With 3 points of merit now!

—Aren't we on a roll tonight?

"Actually, we are in pursuit of a little girl." Wu Xiaode started speaking again.

"Does she look like this?" Shen Xiujun asked.

With a casual wave of her hand, the appearance of Gjestastav emerged clearly in mid-air.

"Exactly that girl." the Dragon Clan leader eagerly said.

"She just left, in that direction—"

Shen Xiujun pointed toward the snow-capped mountains behind the temple.

Overjoyed, Wu Xiaode profusely thanked her,

"Thank you for the guidance, brothers, let's chase after her quickly!"

Several figures once again soared into the sky, flying off into the distance.

They flew over one mountain after another.

Suddenly.

Another temple appeared on the plain ahead.

Wu Xiaode immediately pointed to the temple and said,

"Brothers, just as I thought, this temple is part of a chain, let's go down."

A few dragons looked at each other, hovering in mid-air uncertainly for a moment.

Wu Xiaode urged them,

"What's the matter? Guys, let's go, we should be catching up!"

The Dragon Clan leader, troubled, said,

"Great Mage, sir, I feel that... we might be a bit out of our depth chasing like this..."
