Yu Huntian’s exasperated, crazy snarl at the Dragon-taming Ruins did not affect Zhou Bao, who was at the Wuyang Region. After he destroyed the Space Passage, he tried to destroy the well. But, the way of setting this formation was so marvelous that Zhou Bao failed to destroy the formation around the well after he had tried several times. Helplessly, he used the rocks in the canyon and the surrounding mountains to bury the whole well so that no one could see any difference.

Having done all this, Zhou Bao clapped his hands and left this damn place.

Now, without the dragon veins of Nine Dragons convergency, even if someone came here, he would not find anything unusual.

“What would Earth Bat of Girl think if he discovered the Qi of dragon vein here is gone? Is he going to freak out?” He was wondering whether the Immortal Palace would continue with the Sea-calming Palace’s building, or, would they investigate exactly what had happened. After all, the place of Nine Dragons convergency was right here, and the palace was built to suppress the fate here. But now the Qi of dragon vein here was gone.

“This is not necessarily a good thing. It would be bad for me if Earth Bat of Girl investigates it with a great fanfare, and divulges that there was once a place of Nine Dragons convergency . No, I have to think of a way to get them to continue to build the Sea-calming Palace, at least… eh, the Qi of dragon vein doesn’t weaken!” While he was thinking and walking, Zhou Bao suddenly discovered that although the passageway had been destroyed by him, the spirit of dragon veins in his territory remained. In other words, his territory still seems to be the place of Nine Dragons convergency.

“What is going on here? The Qi of the dragon vein has not dispersed, or…”

Zhou Bao thoughtfully looked up at the countless figures on Jilei Mountain rushing back and forth to build the Sea-calming Palace. Though a little scattered, the Qi of the dragon vein was attracted by the mysterious formation formed by the Sea-calming Palace and, then returned to the underground with little loss.

A light flashed through Zhou Bao’s mind. He suddenly understood what was going on.

“Right, how could I be so stupid? Both the dragon vein and the fate are dissipating. As time passes, the Qi of dragon vein of 100 and even 1,000 dragons will dissipate, not to mention that of nine dragons. That’s why a Pure Yang Celestial Device or a fairy weapon is needed to suppress fate and to avoid the fate from dissipating. Heaven knows how many years that damn place has been transporting the Qi of dragon vein to the Wuyang Region. Over the years, since there is nothing to suppress it, it all dissipated. Thus, that place keeps transporting the Qi of the dragon vein to these nine places. Now, the Sea-calming Palace is being built here, and the Yin and Yang Dust Formation has been set. With the two working at the same time, both the fate and the Qi of dragon vein will not dissipate. Then, Even if I cut off the passage, and block the Qi of dragon vein from coming in, this place is still the place of Nine Dragons convergency. If the Sea-calming Palace is built, and the Qi of dragon vein will still be transported here, this place will be the convergent place of more than nine dragons, even 10 dragons and 100 dragons!”

At the thought of this, Zhou Bao smiled, but then his face darkened. “That’s to say, the Divine Wind Palace might have saved the Qi of dragon vein in such a way. With their financial and material resources, how much have they accumulated over so many years?”

This thought made him shiver.

“Junior Leopard, you finally come back. We’ve been looking for you for a long time!”

As he was thinking about it, Golden Rooster saw him from atop Jilei Mountain and hurried over to him. “Finally, I find you! I was so anxious!”

“Anxious? What had happened? Who’s causing trouble here?” Zhou Bao asked. Now he felt it was commonplace that there were strifes between him and others. Therefore, while noticing that Golden Rooster was anxious, he took it for granted that someone had come to his territory and tried to cause trouble for him.

“No, it’s about Ye Qingtian. The Divine Wind Palace, Immortal Palace, Snow Mountain Great Wheel Temple, Jade Pool, Dragon Thunder Palace, and Dark Sect have reached an agreement. They’re never going to let Ye Qingtian get away with it. We prepare to form a team to hunt him and his two mysterious companions. Each sect’s participants have already decided. The Divine Wind Palace proposed that you should join in. Since you’re related to the Tian Long Taoism, and the Tian Long Taoism is closely related to the Immortal Palace, for the time being, you’re treated as a member of the Immortal Palace. Elder Qing and White Tiger are okay with it, but they all think that you’re not our member, although you are nominally related to the Immortal Palace. So everything is up to you!”

“It’s up to me?” Zhou Bao raised his eyebrows. “Is it the Divine Wind Palace that proposed for me to join in?”

“Yes, they proposed for you to join in, and we just seconded the proposal!”

“Okay, I’m idle recently anyway and ready to go out. I can just take this opportunity. Did Ye Qingtian and the other two hide in the Three Western Regions? We are strangers there, so will the sects there bother us?”

“No, they won’t. We, the sects of the Four Eastern Regions, have already communicated with the Three Western Regions on this matter, so they won’t bother you. Of course, as long as you don’t mess around in the there!” Speaking of this, Golden Rooster cast Zhou Bao a worried look, “I know, you’re a troublemaker. But don’t make trouble this time; otherwise, it will be fairly troublesome, and the Fifth Manor and the Palace of Eternal Life won’t let you go easily!”

“Am I that stupid? I won’t bother others if they don’t bother me. Oh, who’s going to be involved in the hunt?”

“We only sent you and Moon Deer of Extended Net to fulfill this task. Mostly because White Tiger isn’t keen on this matter. Besides, everyone knows that he had wanted to bring Ye Qingtian to the Immortal Palace. In fact, only Moon Deer of Extended Net really belongs to the Immortal Palace. Among all the sects, the Divine Wind Palace dispatched the most people, six in all; the Bigwheel Temple and the Jade Pool sent three people respectively; the Dark Sect and the Dragon Thunder Palace sent two people respectively. Including you, there are 17 people. As for who they are, you’ll know when you meet with them!”

“Then, who is the leader?”

“The one from the Divine Wind Palace, of course. It may not be certain who the six people are now. The time and place have been set. Three months later, all these 17 people will arrive at Borderline Mountain, the junction of the Central Mainland Region and the Three Western Regions.”

“Borderline Mountain?” Zhou Bao wore a smile. He knew that mountain. Located at the westernmost part of the Central Mainland Region, the mountain was said to border on the Three Western Regions, but there was a vast Sea Area between them. So, they had to cross the Sea Area of nearly 500,000 kilometers.

“Yeah, Borderline Mountain. Go back and get ready. I’ll tell the Divine Wind Palace that you’ll join in.”

“Well, thank you!”

“Hehe, you don’t need to be so polite to me. But this time, please take care of Moon Deer of Extended Net. You know, since an accident took place in his family, he’s been in a bad mood and has been preoccupied with revenge. In order to obtain Ye Qingtian’s celestial device, he took part in our hunt. But he’s not powerful enough. I’m afraid he’ll do something stupid!”

“Didn’t Elder Qing know that? Why did you ask him to participate in?”

“It was his own idea. You know our rules—everyone has absolute autonomy. Also, no one else in the 28 constellations is willing to go, except for you. Besides, you cannot expose your identity as a member of the Immortal Palace. If necessary, you’re only half a member of the Immortal Palace. So, we can only let him take part in the hunt!”

“Well, I see. Damn it, is that Wang Family really that powerful? Why not take a few people to destroy them and help Moon Deer of Extended Net get his revenge?

“If only it is that simple. The Wang Family is a millennium family of the Jin, with a certain foundation. Besides, they only offended Moon Deer of Extended Net, and did not offend us, the Immortal Palace. If we rush to help him, we’ll likely clash with the Divine Wind Palace.”

“Clash with them? Hehe, I don’t know how you guys think. Why doesn’t the Divine Wind Palace have so many scruples, but you all have?”

Golden Rooster gave a helpless smile. He did not answer Zhou Bao but patted him on the shoulder. “Well, Junior Leopard, be careful!”

Looking at Golden Rooster’s back, Zhou Bao shrugged. “Is the Immortal Palace really stupid or does it play dumb? The Divine Wind Palace has been plotting for so many years, and haven’t they really noticed anything? Are they really indifferent? Not likely. Neither Elder Qing nor White Tiger is such a fool!”

“Maybe they’re pretending to be a fool!”

Zhou Bao reluctantly thought, as a consolation to himself.

“Your Excellency, you’re finally back! Her Highness is looking for you!” One of Yan Yunfei’s maids hurried up to Zhou Bao, and hastily said when he was thinking and walking slowly down Jilei Mountain to the Lord Mansion.

While seeing her looking anxious, Zhou Bao just smiled and followed her into the backyard. As they arrived there, Yan Yunfei was pacing up and down in a hurry. She repeatedly clenched and opened her hands, looking perplexed.

“Yunfei, what’s up? You look so worried, what happened?”

“You’re back, you’re back! It’ll be okay!” At the sight of Zhou Bao, Yan Yunfei seemed to find her backbone and rushed to him. “It’s my mother. She, she is seriously ill. I’ll go back to the capital city to visit her!”

“Your mother?” Looking at her anxiously, Zhou Bao gently frowned, “You mean the Queen?”

“Yes, it’s her!”

“How do you know that?”

“I just got a letter!” She took out a letter from her inner pocket and handed it to Zhou Bao, “Zhou Bao, I know you’re powerful, and you’re able to fly thousands of kilometers a day. Take me to see her, please.”

“Okay, of course!” Zhou Bao stroked her back and read through the letter rapidly. “Don’t worry, it’s late. Take a night off, and tomorrow I’ll bring you back to Western Capital!”
