Mo Wenjie, Huang Linger, and Jiang Yurou are several people who are busy preparing to visit the mysterious and dangerous sealed place. Their purpose for this trip is clear – to check if there are any overlooked key points.
However, just as everyone was about to set off, Xiao Yawen, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up as if remembering something of great importance. "My husband, I suddenly thought of a question. How could the powerful Blue Dragon just disappear into thin air for no apparent reason? After all, we haven't truly defeated it!" Her words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples to spread throughout everyone's minds.
Everyone looked at each other in silence, their faces expressing confusion and worry. After all, the Blue Dragon's strength was profound and unfathomable. If it appeared again, it would certainly bring them unforeseen and enormous troubles.
Mo Wenjie looked at Huang Linger, Jiang Yurou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, Tuo Baiyingying, Qin Xiaodie and Cao Chunling them. He smiled and shook his head. This Queen Mother still doesn't want to give up on us. The Blue Dragon was originally the supreme among the Four Sacred Beasts and also her steed. Since it has appeared here, it must be Queen Mother's intention!
The Blue Dragon is a type of divine beast in ancient mythological legends and is considered one of the Four Symbols (Blue Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise) in Chinese culture. It is viewed as a symbol of heavenly deities, fierce beasts, and auspiciousness. The Blue Dragon is typically depicted as a dragon with a body that can stretch for several meters, having horns on its head and scales on its back. It supports the ground with its four claws, spreads out its wings, and constantly soars and dances in the sky.
According to legend, the Blue Dragon originated during the Shang Dynasty. At that time, the leader Tian Yi and his general Hou Dai painted their war chariots blue to symbolize their power. This was seen as a symbol and has been continued since then. In ancient mythology, the Blue Dragon was the mount of heavenly deities and the mount of the Queen Mother Xiwangmu.
Mo Wenjie, with a grave expression, continued to speak: "Ladies and gentlemen, you see so many Blue Dragons have appeared around us. In my opinion, their presence here must be closely related to the Queen Mother. After all, the Queen Mother is not an easy character. She is resourceful and cunning. One wrong move from us could lead to disastrous consequences. Therefore, when we take action, we must be one hundred percent alert and never take it lightly. We should avoid attracting death by negligence."
As he spoke, Mo Wenjie's eyes swept sharply over Huang Linger, Jiang Yurou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, Tuo Baiyingying, Qin Xiaodie, and Cao Chunling, as if to convey the gravity of the current situation through his serious expression, hoping to make everyone fully aware of the severity of the circumstances.
At this moment, Huang Linger stood up and spoke resolutely, "No matter how powerful the Queen Mother is, we will not back down since we have decided to explore the sealed place. However, Mo Chengjie is right. We must be careful in our actions." Other people nodded in agreement.
Mo Wenjie, upon seeing this, said with relief: "Let's get going then." The group set off towards the sealed place. Along the way, the atmosphere was heavy and tense, with intermittent faint whispers of Blue Dragon energy occasionally felt in the air.
As they approached the sealed place, the sky suddenly darkened, and a solemn voice resounded: "You dare to come here? Do you really think you can escape from my grasp?" A blurred figure of the Queen Mother appeared in the sky. Mo Wenjie stepped forward and shouted in response, "Queen Mother, we did not mean to offend. However, this place concerns the safety of all under heaven, and we must investigate it to the end."
The Queen Mother's expression turned serious, and a cold smile appeared on her lips. She coldly hiccuped: "You really are foolish!" Before her words could even be heard, a deafening roar echoed through the sky. Then, countless huge and majestic Blue Dragons appeared in the sky, brandishing their sharp claws and growling ferociously as they rushed towards the group.
Facing this unexpected attack, the group dared not be negligent for a moment. They quickly took action, forming a tight circle around each other. Each of them unleashed their most proficient magic, and in an instant, the lights of various colors shone brilliantly and intertwined with the fierce Blue Dragons rushing towards them, creating a magnificent yet thrilling scene.
At that moment, Mo Wenjie stepped forward bravely. His eyes were wide open, and a powerful aura emanated from his entire body. With the tip of his foot lightly touching the ground, he dashed forward towards one of the Blue Dragons as if an arrow had been drawn to its target. The sword in his hand flashed with a cold glint, cutting a sharp arc through the air, and directly slashing towards the Blue Dragon. In an instant, the sword shadow met with the dragon's claw, exploding into brilliant sparks. This thrilling battle thus officially commenced.
Mo Wenjie widened his eyes and tightly fixed his gaze on the faint, indistinct figure of the Queen Mother in front of him, a surge of unutterable anger and helplessness rising within him. He took a deep breath, striving to calm himself, and slowly spoke, "Queen Mother! We had no intention of offending you at all. But why are you so heartless? Why won't you let Niulang and Zhinu, this pair of wretched swans, meet each other?"
At this point, Mo Wenjie's voice rose slightly, and he spoke with a tone that carried a hint of reproach. "All that we have done is to wish for those in love to finally be united and live happily ever after. Yet you arbitrarily interfere and even harbor resentment about it. Can it really be that just because their profound and sincere love might slightly tarnish your dignity, you would want to annihilate them utterly? That is too inhuman!"
Upon hearing these words, the Queen Mother's face turned a deep red, her eyebrows arched fiercely, and her eyes flared with an intense anger. Her dignified and imposing countenance twisted with fury at the moment, her crimson lips parting as she spoke in a voice that echoed like thunder across the heavens: "You little immortal who doesn't know your place! Dare you act so recklessly and speak so boldly before me! If I do not give you a severe lesson today to show you what heavenly might is, you will only become even more lawless in the future!" With that said, she waved her jade hand, and an overwhelming wave of pressure instantly enveloped them, as if the entire universe trembled.
At this moment, the Blue Dragon appeared in front of Mo Wenjie, Huang Linger, Jiang Yurou, Xiao Wenwen, Ding Yan, Tuo Yingying, Qin Xiaodie, and Cao Chunling. It opened its mouth and spoke in a tone that was both stern and threatening: "You dare to speak disrespectfully to the Queen Mother? You truly have no idea what death is! Prepare yourself for death!"
Mo Wenjie stood unwavering, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth: "Dragon King, you are but a tool of the Queen Mother, aiding in tyranny." With those words, the spiritual power within him surged violently, and his jade sword hummed with energy. On the side, Huang Linger shouted enthusiastically: "Let's fight together!" The group echoed in agreement, each deploying their ultimate moves to strike towards the Dragon King.
The Blue Dragon had not expected this group of people to dare to resist, snarling as it swished its tail angrily. Mo Wenjie's figure flashed, dodging the attack, and his jade sword pierced a gap in the dragon's scales. The Blue Dragon let out a painful roar, spitting out a stream of dragon breath. Jiang Yurou's hands formed seals, supporting a defensive shield to block the dragon breath.
Xiao Wenwen seized the opportunity to circle around behind the Blue Dragon and threw out a binding spell. As the Blue Dragon struggled, Ding Yan activated her treasure, sending a beam of bright light toward its eyes. In the midst of the Blue Dragon's confusion, Tuo Yingying, Qin Xiaodie, and Cao Chunling collaborated to cast a spell that hit its belly.
The Blue Dragon, severely wounded, was filled with anger and shame. Its body rapidly expanded, attempting to overwhelm the group. Mo Wenjie shouted, "Concentrate your power and attack its reverse scales!" Understanding his command, the group focused all their strength onto the location where the Blue Dragon's reverse scales were supposed to be. The Blue Dragon let out a bloodcurdling scream as its massive frame swayed precariously.
In that thrilling moment, the Queen Mother fixed her gaze tightly on the Blue Dragon, which was engaged in fierce battle. The Blue Dragon began to show signs of exhaustion, clearly struggling to withstand the opponent's fierce attacks. Seeing this, the Queen Mother's expression changed dramatically; her originally dignified and noble countenance was instantly replaced by gravity. She let out a cold snort, a sound that thundered like lightning from the heavens and was deafening. Then, the Queen Mother's figure disappeared as if by a ghost, leaving no trace and as though she had never been there at all.
The Blue Dragon, with its support from the Queen Mother removed, suddenly felt a surge of pressure. It let out a discontented roar and its body shone brightly, transforming into an eye-catching bright blue light. It shot forward at incredible speed, disappearing in an instant.
Mo Wenjie, Huang Linger, Jiang Yurou, Xiao Wenwen, Ding Yan, Tuo Yingying, Qin Xiaodie, and Cao Chunling witnessed the entire scene. They initially felt their hearts constricted, but once they saw the Blue Dragon successfully escape, they collectively released a sigh of relief.
Mo Wenjie and Huang Linger, among others, knew that their journey was fraught with danger, where a single misstep could mean death. However, despite the thorny path ahead, there was no intention of backing down. After a brief rest, they mustered their courage once more, stepping forward with resolute strides and proceeding without hesitation towards the mysterious and enigmatic sealed place.
As the group approached the sealed place with caution, they could sense an ancient and mysterious aura surrounding them. Suddenly, a melodious flute sound echoed, with a melancholic and nostalgic tune as if telling a tale of thousands of years of sorrow. The group's guard was up, and they saw a white-clad woman float into view.
"Why do you disturb this tranquility?" the woman inquired softly. Mo Wenjie moved forward, bowed, and said, "Madam, this sealed place holds great importance. We must investigate." The woman shook her head gently, "An ancient evil spirit is sealed within. Once unsealed, chaos will befall the world."
The group exchanged glances, hesitating in their minds. But Mo Wenjie thought of the signs they had encountered that suggested there might still be hope here, so he said, "Madam, if we do not unseal it to investigate, there may already be malevolent forces at work disrupting the seal. That would be a real disaster."
The white-clad woman pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement. "I can accompany you into it, but if there is danger, you must leave immediately." The group agreed, and as they drew closer to the seal, the surrounding pressure grew greater. They focused their energy to resist it. Finally, they reached the seal, and they found that there were indeed a few tiny fractures on the seal. It seemed that dark forces were corroding it. Mo Wenjie crouched down and carefully inspected the seal, preparing to find a way to either fix or deal with it.
