If I killed this Primordial Infant cultivator, Feng Jianghai would probably notice very soon. Therefore, my next actions must be swift.
However, as Chu Mo left the prison cell, he noticed the Fire Dragon Cup in the vast space below and felt a stir in his heart. The divine sense from Skyscan had hinted that this Fire Dragon Cup could be tamed. Should he give it a try?
Having thought it over, Chu Mo quickly made up his mind. Fortune favors the bold!
Although the specific use of this Fire Dragon Cup was unclear, it was undoubtedly a very powerful treasure.
Chu Mo immediately flew towards the Fire Dragon Cup and mid-air, he felt a powerful aura erupting from it.
Then, a cold but powerful divine sense transferred into Chu Mo's mind, "You possess the five elements aura. It seems Feng Hanshui did not deceive me. You must be the one he sent to liberate me according to our old agreement, right?"
A shock in his heart, Chu Mo thought: Who is Feng Hanshui? Could he be the founding ancestor of the Lingyue Sect? And what does it mean by fulfilling an old promise to save it from this place?
Fortunately, Chu Mo reacted quickly. He said calmly, "It's true that I am here to rescue you, but that has nothing to do with any Feng Hanshui. Fire Dragon, you've been deceived by the Feng family!"
"What?" The cold divine sense instantly became violent, almost causing Chu Mo's relatively weak mind to collapse.
At the critical moment, a mysterious power surged from within Chu Mo's body, emitting a flash of faint purple-gold light.
It immediately expelled the Fire Dragon's overwhelming divine sense from Chu Mo's mind.
At that instant, Chu Mo seemed to feel an intense fear coming from the Fire Dragon's divine sense.
"You... Who are you?" The Fire Dragon's divine sense became uncertain. It even dared not transfer its divine sense directly to Chu Mo's mind but turned it into a voice, echoing in the vast space.
Without waiting for Chu Mo's answer, the Fire Dragon revealed itself from the Fire Dragon Cup.
The enormous Fire Dragon, tens of thousands of feet long, burned fiercely. Its dark red, glossy scales shimmered in the firelight, glinting with a metallic cold light.
The dragon's head was held high, its large dragon eyes watching Chu Mo, who was as insignificant as an ant in contrast to it.
"You're quite strange!" a human voice emerged from the Fire Dragon's mouth as it stared at Chu Mo. "Why do you have this kind of aura? Could it be... are you a kin of those people? But they... didn't they leave already?"
In the Fire Dragon's massive eyes, a doubtful light flickered as it mumbled to itself.
Chu Mo remained silent, although he wanted to ask: what do you know exactly?
But he knew that even if he asked, the Fire Dragon would never tell him. From its apprehensive look, it was apparent that the topic was taboo and not to be raised lightly.
"Forget it, let's not dwell on that. Kid, what do you mean by saying I've been deceived by the Feng family?" The Fire Dragon looked at Chu Mo, its body, comparable to a colossal mountain range, exerted an unimaginable pressure despite not directing its dragon's prestige at Chu Mo.
Chu Mo was no exception; he could feel this intangible pressure. While it's not necessarily the larger the creature, the stronger it is, the visual impact can't be avoided.
"What do I mean? Heh, can't you understand? I'm saying you've been deceived, and you've even willingly acted as their guardian deity for so many years. You went so far as to bear the reputation for interfering in the internal disputes of the Spirit Realm Sects." Chu Mo calmly said, "I'm not sure what you agreed to back then, but I'm pretty certain you were tricked!"
"Nonsense!" The Fire Dragon's voice became slightly agitated, and its vast mountaintop-like body began to move violently. "Feng Hanshui saw me as divine; how could he dare to deceive me?"
"Heh." Chu Mo scoffed, without responding.
"Out with it!" The Fire Dragon's large eyes stared intently at Chu Mo. "If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, you're done for! Even if you indeed have some relations with those people, it would be a piece of cake for me to kill an immature human like you in a place like this!"
Chu Mo looked at the Fire Dragon, which looked somewhat threatening, and thought: It seems that the agreement between the Feng family ancestors and the Fire Dragon years ago was of great significance to the Fire Dragon. From what it said earlier, it seems to be related to its freedom.
With that in mind, Chu Mo gave a faint smile, "Senior Fire Dragon, isn't it a little improper to threaten a junior, who poses no threat to you, in this manner?"
"Skip those useless words; I just want to know how exactly you assert that the Feng family deceived me?" The Fire Dragon's voice grew colder as its body began to wriggle rapidly. The gigantic scales, flickering with a metallic gleam, were filled with immense energy and killing intent.
"Alright, if you want to know how you've been tricked..." Chu Mo pondered for a moment, then said, "It's simple. You just need to relay the exact content of your past agreement, including why a powerful creature like you would appear in a place like this."
As Chu Mo finished speaking, he saw the almost inflamed Fire Dragon, and calmly added, "If you truly wish to regain your freedom, tell me honestly. Senior Fire Dragon, isn't the key to rescue you someone who possesses the aura of the five elements? So, regardless of whether I've been sent by Feng Hanshui, shouldn't I be able to get you out of here?"
The Fire Dragon paused at his words, then appeared to realize that this was indeed the case. Its initially restless heart returned to calm in an instant.
The Fire Dragon gave Chu Mo a cold glance and then said, "Alright, I'll tell you. But you must swear to take me away from here!"
"I will take you away, but I need to know everything. You must swear that you're not lying to me," Chu Mo asserted, "I don't want to liberate a fiercely evil and incredibly powerful creature."
The Fire Dragon was silent for a moment, then slowly replied, "Alright, I can swear."
Following this, the Fire Dragon swore by the dragon's prestige that it would not deceive Chu Mo. Every single word it would say would be the truth.
Only then did Chu Mo feel at ease. Actually, he had another plan in mind.
As his base in the Spirit Realm was unstable, with him being alone and without support, the assistance of the mighty Fire Dragon would be invaluable. He could gather Yiniang and the others around immediately. They could then fearlessly establish an influence.
They wouldn't have to fear the threats and attacks from anyone!
Because, with this Fire Dragon, there should be no creatures in the Spirit Realm that could pose a challenge.
Therefore, Chu Mo intended to bring this Fire Dragon to his side.
It's already the fifth night watch. Could the brothers' monthly votes be a bit more forceful?
