Chapter 2683: The Dragon's Resting Place!

"I don't believe it! There must be something fishy going on!" You Qing pointed at Ye Yuan and roared.

Ye Yuan shrugged and said indifferently, "Looks like you're planning to renege on your debt?"

You Qing snorted coldly, "Reneging? You're clearly up to some trick! There simply cannot be a true dragon in the Seven Seas! How could a mere human like you reach the Ninth Stage peak?"

Ye Yuan sighed and said, "Fine, since you want to play dirty, I'll have to force you to kneel."

Hearing this, You Qing sneered, "Kid, it seems you still haven't figured out the situation. Do you really think that defeating Mu Chen qualifies you to challenge me? Testing dragon aura is one thing, but actual combat strength is another. Killing you would take no effort at all!"

Ye Yuan smiled warmly and slowly walked up to You Qing.

You Qing looked at Ye Yuan with a cold smirk.

Suddenly, Ye Yuan reached out and pressed down on You Qing's head.

"You're asking for death!"

But at that moment, his body suddenly stiffened, and he couldn't move.

Then, Ye Yuan forcefully pushed his head down.

Under Ye Yuan's immense strength, You Qing couldn't help but kneel.

Bang!

Ye Yuan directly pressed his head to the ground.

Everyone was dumbfounded, unable to understand what had just happened.

You Qing's strength was unmatched among his peers!

So why didn't he fight back just now?

Ye Yuan clapped his hands and laughed, "Hmm, this kind of kowtow is much more satisfying."

You Qing's head was pressed to the ground, unable to lift it, maintaining the posture of a kowtow.

But his slightly trembling body revealed the fury within him.

"Ye Yuan, you're dead! I'll hunt you to the ends of the earth and tear you into a thousand pieces!" You Qing roared.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "If I were you, I'd keep a low profile right now. If I get upset, I could kill you with one sword right now. Hmm, don't tell me you're of noble birth; I, Ye Yuan, never ask about someone's background when I kill. If you don't believe me, feel free to try."

Sure enough, at those words, You Qing shut his mouth.

Seeing this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

They all realized that Ye Yuan had used poison.

But no one could tell when or how he had administered it.

No one had expected Ye Yuan to possess such a bizarre skill.

Fighting above his level, possessing Ninth Stage dragon aura, and being a master of poison—Ye Yuan's identity became incredibly mysterious in their eyes.

Some even showed a hint of fear on their faces.

"Alright, this kind of occasion is too boring. I won't stay. Farewell!" With that, Ye Yuan turned and left.

"Wait!" the Black Flood Dragon King quickly called out.

Ye Yuan turned around and sneered, "What, are you planning to stand up for him?"

The Black Flood Dragon King smiled and said, "This is a dispute among you youngsters; how could I interfere? As long as no lives are lost, I won't get involved. I asked you to stay because I have a favor to ask."

Ye Yuan frowned and said, "What is it?"

The Black Flood Dragon King said, "Actually, the young elites from the Seven Seas have gathered here because a secret realm in my Jihai Sea is about to open. Jingfei will also be entering. Young friend Ye, your skills are extraordinary; I'd like to ask you to accompany her into the secret realm!"

It turned out that this secret realm was called the Dragon's Resting Place, rumored to be where a true dragon had fallen.

The Black Flood Dragon King's rise was closely tied to this place.

He had obtained a dragon clan secret technique there, which allowed him to finally achieve enlightenment, step half a foot into the Saint Emperor Heaven realm, and dominate one region.

However, each person could only enter the Dragon's Resting Place once.

A second entry would result in death by some mysterious force!

The Black Flood Dragon King couldn't enter himself, but he was worried about Jingfei's safety, so he entrusted Ye Yuan to go in and act as her bodyguard.

"Hehe, young friend Ye, don't mind me. Since I had this idea, I naturally needed to assess your strength! Everyone in the Seven Seas knows that Jingfei is the apple of my eye. If anything happens to her in there, I'll never forgive myself! So I hope you can help! Moreover, since you possess true dragon bloodline, you might even encounter some great fortune in the Dragon's Resting Place," the Black Flood Dragon King said sincerely, without any airs.

Although Jingfei loved to play pranks, she was actually very innocent.

She had little sense of right and wrong; she simply found things fun.

Since last time, she had become quite dependent on him.

Over the past year, they had communicated over long distances and had grown quite familiar.

Moreover, this time, Jingfei had played a significant role in subduing Tie Xin and Min Nanshan.

Given that, accompanying her wouldn't be a problem.

And as the Black Flood Dragon King said, he might even encounter some fortune inside.

After all, the Black Flood Dragon King hadn't even made it halfway back then, yet he had achieved so much!

This showed that the Dragon's Resting Place must be an extremely formidable place.

The more dangerous a place, the more opportunities it held.

The Black Flood Dragon King naturally knew that when Ye Yuan and Jingfei combined, they were almost equivalent to a peak Jade Emperor Heaven expert.

Entering the secret realm, they should be able to protect themselves.

"Ye Yuan, big brother, come with me! It'll be so much fun in there!" Jingfei locked her arms around Ye Yuan's neck and acted spoiled.

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go with you, but you have to listen to me! Otherwise, I'll act on my own!"

Jingfei kissed Ye Yuan on the cheek and giggled, "Hehe, you're the best, Ye Yuan big brother!"

...

The banquet ended on a sour note.

You Qing was carried back; he had been hit by Ye Yuan's Petrification Powder and couldn't move for three hours.

After returning, he was naturally furious.

However, fierce battles were inevitable during this expedition to the Dragon's Resting Place.

After everyone had left, in the bedchamber, the Mermaid Queen said, "Your Majesty, is it really okay to entrust Jingfei to that Ye Yuan?"

The Black Flood Dragon King smiled and said, "You probably don't know that even the Azure Sea Divine Conch submits to him! That shows how powerful his true dragon bloodline is! The Azure Sea Divine Conch is a treasure I obtained from the Dragon's Resting Place!"

The Mermaid Queen exclaimed in surprise, "How can a human have such powerful true dragon bloodline?"

The Black Flood Dragon King shook his head and said, "He probably isn't a pure human; otherwise, his true dragon bloodline wouldn't be so strong! True dragons rarely appear in the Thirty-Three Heavens. But I think that kid might... be a true dragon! Because the aura on him is very similar to what I encountered back in the Dragon's Resting Place!"

The Mermaid Queen was utterly shocked.

A human being a true dragon?

If this got out, probably no one would believe it!

But the Black Flood Dragon King wouldn't lie to her!

This was too unbelievable.

At that moment, the Black Flood Dragon King's gaze turned cold, and he sneered, "Hehe, once he comes out of the Dragon's Resting Place, breaking through to the Boundless Heaven realm should be no problem. Then, I'll extract his dragon marrow, and stepping into the Saint Emperor Heaven will be a certainty!"
