Baihu and his gang of demonic cult members were furious.
"Guardian beasts?"
"I don't think so. Your leader has long been planning to sacrifice the Candle Dragon and the other three spirit beasts to activate the Four Spirit Blood Array."
Li Yao looked at Wan Renwang with a half-smile.
"ah?"
Is this true?
"Does the sect leader really intend to sacrifice the Zhulong spirit beast?"
Many members of the demonic cult were unaware that their leader had this plan.
They immediately erupted in an uproar.
The Candle Dragon is the guardian spirit beast of their Holy Sect, just like the Spirit Venerable Water Qilin of Qingyun Mountain, its status is very extraordinary.
Despite the strong reaction from the congregation, Wanrenwang remained calm.
He has already established enough prestige within the cult to completely suppress some radical followers.
On the contrary, he was shocked and puzzled by Li Yao's words.
He frowned and said, "You really know a lot."
"really!"
Li Yao simply smiled slightly.
In fact, Wanrenwang had too many doubts about Li Yao.
This includes the unusual celestial phenomena that occurred some time ago.
He glanced at the yellow bird and said curiously, "According to the inscription on the Fulong Cauldron, when golden light appears in the world, a yellow bird will surely appear. Now that you have subdued the yellow bird, and golden light happened to appear in the world a few days ago, does that mean that the rare treasure that appeared in the Death Swamp has already been obtained by you?!"
"Exactly!"
Li Yao did not hide anything.
"What?"
"So you obtained the extraordinary treasure?"
Baihu and his group of demonic cult members who had been to the Death Swamp stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.
They saw the huge pit and found that it was man-made, and there was not much soil around it.
Therefore, they speculated that the strange treasure that suddenly appeared was likely as big as the giant crater, or even larger.
What kind of extraordinary treasure is it that has such a large size?
Furthermore, how are we supposed to take away such a massive treasure?
At this moment, Baihu and the others most wanted to figure out one question: "What exactly is that extraordinary treasure?"
"Why should I tell you!"
Li Yao smiled and shrugged.
"you……"
Baihu and his gang of demonic cult members were so enraged they were practically fuming.
"Alright, enough chit-chat. As long as you hand over the Candle Dragon, I'll let you go!"
Li Yao looked at the crowd of ten thousand people.
"Master, the Candle Dragon is our Holy Sect's guardian spirit beast; it must not be handed over to this person!"
"Yes, even if we have to fight to the bitter end, we cannot hand over Zhulong."
"..."
Many members of the demonic cult shouted indignantly.
Baihu, Youji, and other high-ranking members of the Demonic Sect all looked at Wanrenwang, awaiting his decision.
After a moment of hesitation, Wan Renwang finally spoke, "I can give you the Candle Dragon..."
The many followers were terrified and cried out, "Master, you mustn't..."
Even Baihu, Youji, Biyao and others were quite surprised.
They hadn't expected that Wanrenwang would actually give in.
Actually, there's no other way but for thousands of people to flock here.
He had witnessed Li Yao's prowess firsthand and knew that even if all the followers attacked together, they might not be a match for Li Yao.
If they offend Li Yao now and incite him to kill them, their Holy Sect might truly be annihilated this time.
Therefore, as the leader of a sect, he had no choice but to submit to Li Yao.
"Those who understand the times are wise; truly, he is a man of great talent!"
Li Yao smiled.
"However, the Candle Dragon is violent, cruel, and bloodthirsty. Whether you can take it away depends on your abilities."
Ten thousand people went to the meaningful passage.
"It's alright, as long as you tell me where the Candle Dragon is, I have a way to take it away!"
Li Yao remained completely calm.
"Alright, please follow me, Sect Leader Li."
Ten thousand people posed in a gesture of invitation.
As soon as he finished speaking, he gestured and a magical artifact suddenly appeared.
He stepped on the magical artifact, transformed into a streak of light, and flew towards a distant mountain.
Li Yao also summoned the Overlord Divine Spear, stepped on it, and flew over.
Baihu, Youji, Biyao, and the others all summoned their respective magical treasures, which transformed into several streams of light and followed.
The yellow bird that was circling in the sky also followed.
Soon, led by Wanrenwang, Li Yao arrived at a secluded valley.
Unlike other places, this place is very lush with trees, and in the center of the valley there is a huge pool of water.
What was particularly strange was that as soon as the group approached the valley, a chill swept over them, so cold it was piercing to the bone, creating a stark contrast with the sweltering heat outside.
In the vast desert, there is such a cold place.
Chapter 384 Candle Dragon
Wanrenwang led Li Yao and the others to the pool in the valley.
He pointed to the pool and said to Li Yao, "This cold pool is a forbidden area of our Holy Sect, and the Candle Dragon lives in it!"
"It's so cold!"
Biyao, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but shiver and hugged her arms, saying, "I never thought that our Holy Sect would actually have such a cold place."
This was her first time here; she had only heard of it before but had never been here.
"It's really amazing. It's as hot as an oven outside, but as cold as an ice cave here."
Li Yao exclaimed in surprise.
At this moment, the surface of the cold pool was completely calm, and no living creatures could be seen at all.
However, beneath the calm surface of the water lurks numerous dangers.
Li Yao formed his five fingers into a claw, reached out and sucked, and a thin stream of water shot into his palm, instantly sending a chill through his entire body.
He was surprised for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "The Candle Dragon can actually withstand such cold water!"
With that, he flipped his hand and struck the center of the icy pool.
With a deafening roar, like a bomb exploding, the water in the pool shot up, creating a massive wall of water that rose into the sky, accompanied by a thick, chilling aura.
"Look, there's movement in the water!"
Biyao pointed to the center of the cold pool.
A large number of bubbles rose to the surface of the water, as if it were boiling, and began to churn continuously.
Large amounts of black, icy air rose from the bottom of the water, and the surrounding air grew increasingly frigid, as if it could freeze the air itself.
hold head high……
Suddenly, a huge body leaped out of the water, and a deafening dragon roar resounded through the heavens, echoing endlessly in the valley.
"What a huge dragon!"
"It's almost the same size as the Blackwater Serpent!"
Biyao exclaimed in surprise.
She had encountered the Blackwater Serpent in the Heartless Sea and was stunned by its enormous size.
She hadn't expected that the Holy Church's guardian spirit beast, the Candle Dragon, would be so enormous.
The dragon, entirely crimson, with its claws outstretched, circled and roared in the air, its chilling gaze fixed on Li Yao and the others, utterly terrifying.
"This is Zhulong?!"
Li Yao looked at the giant dragon in the sky with great interest, smiled slightly, and shouted, "Come on, Zhulong, come back with me and guard the gate!"
"???"
Biyao and the others were speechless.
What's before you is an ancient spirit beast, the Candle Dragon, not some random cat or dog that comes running at your beck and call.
As if hearing Li Yao's mocking words, the Candle Dragon roared, its huge dragon eyes burning with two balls of angry flames.
roar!
