After daybreak, the Jadeite Bird was the first to return. It chirped for a while in front of Duan Jidao before understanding what was going on. This kingfisher was one of the birds that Duan Meng raised in the Qilan Mountain. Duan Meng had spent a lot of time and effort to understand human nature. It wasn't until recently that the Kingfisher Spirit Pigeons found him and Duan Meng came in handy.

"Young master, the equation is dead. It's in the forest outside the city!"

"Nothing but the dead body of the equation."

"The equation's corpse turned into a pool of blood and disappeared into thin air!"

First, he had bribed the equations to kill him. Once he succeeded, he would escape unscathed. Then, he would kill him and wipe out all traces of his body. This was truly sinister.

Duan Ru Yue really couldn't think of who was actually plotting to kill him. Could it be the Earth Sect? It didn't look like it. Since the Earth Sect disciples were powerful, why not personally take action and kill him with a single palm? Wouldn't that save him a lot of trouble? Why bother to use these unreliable methods?

Could it be that his opponent was weaker than him? Who was that? Duan Ru Yue suddenly thought of a person.

Duan Hu, right, it was Duan Hu.

It was him who kidnapped her father. She had broken one of his arms before, he definitely hated her to the bone and then disappeared without a trace. Could he still be alive? So, where is he? He definitely wouldn't be in Chaos City. If he was, he definitely wouldn't be able to hide from his eyes.

Not to mention that he had millions of members who could provide him information at any time, even his own flock of tens of thousands of birds were dancing around in the city. Especially the pigeons, they were the most intelligent and possessed the intelligence of humans.

However, Duan Jian didn't discover anything.

Strange things happened every year, but this year, there were even more.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't want to. At worst, he could just fight to the death. He had the Heavenly Refining Diagram, a simple method to protect himself, and he didn't believe that anyone in the world could kill him.

Duan Meng's attention was focused on the dragon pearl. Recently, he noticed that the call of the dragon pearl was becoming more and more obvious. Sometimes it would rotate, sometimes it would emit dragon cries, and it was not very quiet.

Duan Ru Yue had prepared for a few months to settle down the interior of the Pill Assembly and have all the Heavenly Birds protect her in the dark. After that, she brought Xiao Feng Xian and Hei Yan and set off on their journey.

"Young Master, where are we going?" Qi Liang couldn't hold it in anymore and rushed to ask.

"I don't know either. Just follow me." It wasn't that Duan Ling Tian didn't want to tell Qi Liang, but he really didn't know. He was following his own dragon pearl, and as soon as the dragon pearl was summoned, Duan Ru Yue would head in that direction.

After leaving the city, they walked eastward for nearly three days before finally stopping in a mountain stream.

Duan Meng sensed it for a moment, but the dragon pearl only circled around the pool, and Duan Yi understood.

The problem lay in the pool. Duan Jian carefully observed the pool. The pool was pitch black, like a bottomless pit. Duan Meng looked for the Mountain Vine and probed its depth. It was already several hundred feet deep, and he had yet to see the bottom. Duan Ru couldn't help but feel a bit afraid.

What kind of pond was this? Could it be the spring that led to the sea?

The four of them camped at the edge of the pond. After staying there for a while, Duan Ling Tian asked Qi Liang and the other two to go around and ask if there were any residents nearby where the pond had come from.

It was bright to the north, and Blackrock and Little Phoenix Fairy were to the south. By nightfall, the three of them had returned, each with two people.

"Sir, you want to know the secret of this pool? It's very simple, this pool is bottomless and has never been entered by anyone in the past few hundred years. No matter how dry the sky is, this pool of water doesn't decrease in the slightest. Everyone says that it's a spring in the sea, flowing through the sea."

"Sir, there are monsters in this pond. Someone has seen a black dragon flying in and out. Don't go down there. It's extremely dangerous. Our ancestors have heard about it for generations. This is a demon pond."

Duan Meng naturally did not believe it, but after all, there was an explanation. Since it was a rumor from the village and there was some origin, they bestowed 10 gold taels to each person and the four of them happily left.

Duan Jian did not believe it. After the four of them left, he wanted to go in and take a look. The three of them advised Duan Ling Tian to be more careful or to think of a complete plan.

"It's fine. Since the dragon pearl's reaction is here, I will go down to take a look. Otherwise, I'll come here for nothing."

Duan Meng made the three of them wait while he activated his zhen qi to protect his body. Even so, a bone-piercing cold air still surrounded Duan Meng. This pool of water was simply ice, even colder than ice.

Duan Meng couldn't help but sneeze as the cold air seemed to want to pierce through the protective layer of his zhenqi. He hurriedly took out a stalk of Heavenly Dragon Grass and swallowed it in a few bites.

After moving stealthily for about an hour, Duan Ling Tian sensed that he had reached the end. After that, he made a turn and continued moving forward. After another hour, he finally saw light. It turned out to be a cave.

Duan Meng took a look around, but there was no light at all. He was also a bit stuffy, where did the light come from? Duan Meng unintentionally lifted the surface of the water. From the reflection on the water, Duan Ru saw clearly that it was a Night Pearl, glittering in the middle of the cave.

In the middle was a small piece of land that was only a few dozen meters in size. There was a round hole on it, and after examining it closely, Duan Shu felt like it was a dog's nest. Duan Ru walked over, and the dragon pearl released waves of dragon roars. Duan Meng took out the dragon pearl and it actually flew up. After circling around the dog's den, he saw a few more scales fly up from the ground and rapidly attach themselves to the dragon pearl.

With his sharp eyes, Duan Ling Tian quickly snatched a piece of it and examined it carefully. It was a fragment of dragon's scale.

"Looks like this is a dragon's lair, not a dog's lair."

As Duan Meng thought of this, the dragon pearl absorbed the dragon scale. Even the scales in Duan Ru's hand seemed to be unable to control it as they moved closer to the dragon pearl. As soon as Duan Jian let go, the dragon scales were absorbed by the dragon pearl.

The dragon pearl quieted down, completely devoid of any activity.

Duan Meng began to understand. So the summoning of the dragon pearl was just these few pieces of dragon scales. It had caused him to busy himself for a while, so he could not help but feel slightly discouraged.

It was a good thing that he obtained the Luminous Pearl, otherwise, he would have run away for nothing. Duan Ru held the Night Pearl in his embrace, then returned to the shore.

"Young master, did you discover something?"

Duan Ling Tian smiled as he looked at Qi Liang. "Isn't this nonsense? If I was in danger, would I have returned safely?"

"Young master must have discovered something." Qi Liang refused to give up and insisted on pursuing the matter to the end. Duan Meng took out the Night Pearl.

"She's too beautiful, she's simply a divine object." Little Phoenix Fairy and Black Rock were women after all, and they had a natural love for jewelry. Qi Liang could only see her as a Night Pearl. In the eyes of Little Phoenix Fairy and Hei Yan, they had already discovered his sense of beauty. Men and women had different opinions of beauty.

"It's a pity that there's only one. Who's giving it to be suitable?" Duan Meng felt that it was a bit difficult. "That's easy, split it in half." Little Phoenix Fairy took out her knife and cut the Night Pearl in half.
