Chapter 425: 425
The cultivators all rushed towards the valley, and when they arrived three burns of an incense later, they didn't dare spread their auras out of concern they'd alert the red dragon . They all showed somber expressions while sneaking towards the valley like a bunch of thieves—the battle prowess of a true dragon wasn't something anyone could look down on .
The full-mastery Golden Cores hid behind the clouds and looked into the valley below, where they did indeed see a red dragon rolling around in a muddy pond . They all felt a bit of excitement and fear; they were cultivators who'd arrived at the uppermost limit of the Golden Core Stage and their battle prowess was extraordinary, but faced with this red dragon, all three of them were worried and lacking confidence .
"We're going to attack?"
"With the three of us together, we'll be able to go for a fight, but the chances are not too great . How about this: first we form a formation in advance to trap this red dragon inside the valley, then we'll wait until assistance from our clans arrives . We'll need at least five full-mastery Golden Cores to ensure it doesn't manage to escape, and we'll need at least ten to easily capture it…" Elder Fangzheng of the Fengtian clan slowly spoke, analyzing the situation clearly and logically .
"What Elder Fangzheng said is indeed correct . Our current main purpose is to protect Miss Magu; if all three of us were to attack the red dragon and fight it out, what would we then do to actually capture it? If anything were to happen, it'll be too late to even feel regret!" The Baiyue clan's Elder Linglong declared, placing specific emphasis on the word "protect" to clearly mean "keep a close eye on" .
"Indeed!" The Yushou clan's Elder Xiong also agreed with the decision, and Elder Linglong took out a set of formation flags unique to the Baiyue clan before explaining how to use them . Elder Fangzheng took three flags, Elder Xiong took three others, and Elder Linglong took the remaining two flags for herself before they made their way to different sections around the valley .
"How did you the Yushou clan find this red dragon exactly?" Magu quietly asked one of the Yushou clan's Exalts while standing lightly in mid-air .
The Exalt quickly answered, "Miss Xunlong, we came over after sensing the unique messaging tool of our clan, although the person who used the messaging tool wasn't there when we arrived and their aura was nowhere to be found . I imagine they must have been discovered by the red dragon when they discovered it and they were attacked, resulting in misfortune . Fortunately, they were able to activate the messaging tool before their death… . "
'How could it be such a coincidence the red dragon was close by? Could this be a trap?' Magu creased her brows and looked towards the Venerated Youth beside her before asking a few more questions in detail, but the answers left her even more confused . Based on the Exalt's reply, they'd waited here for over an hour yet still did not find any traces of the red dragon's owner . This dragon had instead become akin to a wild peril beast and had been playing in the valley below on its own all this time .
The Venerated Youth looked around, and although his expression remained blank, he was inwardly filled with alarm . 'The great net has been cast and capturing that Xing-named kid is only a matter of time, but why did he reveal himself so soon? This red dragon actually appeared here; could Xing Fang have gone to the Rising Immortal's Altar? Even if he didn't, though, he must already know we're after him after killing the Yushou clansmen, so why did he not flee together with the red dragon?'
The Venerated Youth truly hadn't expected to capture them so soon . He knew the kid was cunning and calculating, and someone who was capable of destroying the entire Hentian clan on their own certainly wasn't easy to go up against . He'd assumed that if this person learned everyone in the Guixu Ruins was after him, he'd definitely take the red dragon and hide in a location with very few people . Later on, he might decide to risk it or perhaps simply give up on the red dragon altogether in exchange for their cooperation and a chance to enter the depths of the Guixu Ruins .
