At the same time, Gu Li realized why there was today's 'five-year appointment'.
It turns out that everything happens for a reason.
Including Duan Lingtian's father, Duan Rufeng, the master of Qingyun Palace, had a conflict with the Dragon Clan five years ago because of that incident.
Finally, in order to resolve the matter, Duan Rufeng made a "five-year agreement" with the Dragon Clan.
"This time, the Dragon Clan really lost both their wives and their troops... If they had handed over Emperor Jue to Uncle Duan five years ago, all they would have lost was Emperor Jue. Until today, they have lost not only one Emperor, but
Absolutely, even giving up the opportunity to enter the 'Washing Dragon Pond'!"
When he thought about this, Gu Li couldn't help but feel a little sad, he just felt that fate was playing tricks on people.
He believed that if the leader of the Dragon Clan, ‘Di Shan’, could predict the future, he would not have spared no effort to protect Di Jue five years ago!
"The Dragon Washing Pond is a sacred place for the Dragon Clan. It allows the members of the Dragon Clan who enter it to transform and make great progress with each passing day... I think that Junior Brother Ling Tian will also get a big improvement after entering!"
While Gu Li was thinking to himself, he also envied Duan Lingtian very much.
Of course, it's just envy, not jealousy.
Duan Lingtian is good, he will not be jealous, he will only be happy for Duan Lingtian from the bottom of his heart.
Dishan's death also means that the 'five-year agreement' has officially come to an end.
While other people from quasi-third-rate forces left one after another, except for the group from Qingyun Mansion, the group from Yinshan Black Market also did not leave.
Not long after Duan Lingtian and the others returned to the small valley filled with birdsong and flowers, the leader of the Yinshan black market, ‘Dugu’, also returned with Feng Buyi and Zhong Qi, and moved into the wooden house where they lived before.
Seeing that there was no movement from Dugu and the others, Duan Lingtian and his party felt relieved.
One day passed in the blink of an eye.
On the second day, a green figure appeared in the sky above the small valley and greeted loudly: "Palace Master Duan, the clan leader invites you to come over!"
The owner of the cyan figure is none other than one of the five-clawed dragon elders of the Dragon Clan:
Five-clawed green dragon, Qingyan!
Now, even though it's been a day since Di Jue was killed, his face still doesn't look good.
Especially when he saw Duan Lingtian, his fierce eyes flashed with cold murderous intent, as if he wanted to directly kill Duan Lingtian and avenge Emperor Jue.
However, he finally endured it.
"Elder Qingyan, I've heard for a long time the name of the Dragon Tribe's Holy Land 'Xilongchi', so we can join in on the fun. There shouldn't be any problem, right?"
After Duan Lingtian and his party appeared, a group of people from the Yinshan Black Market also came out. The deputy leader ‘Feng Buyi’ looked at Qingyan and asked.
"It's no problem."
Qingyan seemed to have known for a long time that the people from the Yinshan Black Market had not left, so he was not surprised. He nodded when he heard Feng Buyi's words.
And the reason why I agreed so readily was because of the instruction from the leader of the Dragon Clan.
Duan Lingtian saw the leader of the Dragon Clan, ‘Dishan’, again in a canyon at the deepest part of the Dragon Clan’s residence.
The entrance to the canyon is narrow, but after entering, you realize that there is a cave inside!
In the deepest part of the canyon, there is a magnificent gate floating strangely in the air. The gate is tightly closed, and it is not known where the gate leads to.
This grand door has two doors, and each door has a different 'keyhole', with a 'circle' on the left and a 'crescent' on the right, which looks very strange.
I don’t know what kind of material the gate is made of, but while it is suspended there, it seems to exude an ancient and vicissitudes of atmosphere all the time, seeming to tell the history of its existence.
"This is the entrance to the 'Xilong Pond'!"
A group of people headed by the dragon clan leader ‘Di Shan’ arrived at the gate at some unknown time. Di Shan looked at the gate suspended in the air and was the first to introduce it.
When Duan Lingtian heard this, he immediately looked over.
But I found that the door in front of me was completely independent and suspended in the air. Just looking at its surroundings, I couldn't see any trace of illusion.
The gate seems to be embedded in the void, giving people an unparalleled sense of mystery.
"Is the 'Washing Dragon Pond' inside?"
At least, Duan Lingtian is filled with yearning from the bottom of his heart, because he is about to enter it.
The unknown made him curious and fearful.
All in all, Duan Lingtian's current mood is very complicated.
"Young Master!"
At some point, Dishan's eyes fell on Duan Lingtian, and he said calmly: "In my memory, no race other than members of our dragon clan has ever entered the 'Washing Dragon Pond'... So, you enter
I have no idea what will happen after we get inside."
"So, if you really decide to enter it, you have to bear all the consequences on your own... Even if you die inside, it has nothing to do with our dragon clan!"
After talking about it later, Dishan's tone became a bit more warning.
And his words were not meant to scare Duan Lingtian, but he was telling the truth.
"Chief Dishan, are you afraid that I don't dare to go inside?"
Hearing Di Shan's words, Duan Lingtian was stunned for a moment, then asked calmly.
"I have such an idea. But everything I said is also true... Even I don't know what will happen when humans enter the Dragon Washing Pond."
Dishan was a bachelor, so he nodded and said bluntly.
"Of course, if you insist on entering, I won't stop you... After all, you did win the 'five-year agreement'!"
When the 'five-year agreement' was mentioned again, even Dishan couldn't help but feel a hint of pain on his face.
He never expected that Di Jue, whom he insisted on protecting five years ago, would still die five years later.
Moreover, not only was Emperor Jue dead, but the dragon clan's opportunity to enter the 'Washing Dragon Pond' only once every few thousand years was gone.
And the reason why all this happened was, firstly, because of his wrong decision at the time, and secondly, because of the young man in front of him.
It was this young man who took action to kill Di Jue and won the 'five-year agreement'!
"Now that I'm here, I naturally want to go in!"
After hearing Di Shan's words, Duan Lingtian also said very bachelorly.
Dishan nodded and said nothing more to Duan Lingtian. He immediately looked at Duan Rufeng and said, "Palace Master Duan, take out the 'Moon Key' that you kept on your behalf back then. Let's open the path to the 'Washing Dragon Pond' together."
The gate... In addition, if anything happens to the young master of the palace inside, it has nothing to do with our Dragon Clan!"
"What? Chief Dishan thinks I'm the kind of unreasonable person?"
Duan Rufeng asked rhetorically.
At the same time, there was an extra key in his hand, which was the 'Moon Key' that he had taken from Dishan for safekeeping.
Dishan himself still has a ‘Sun Key’ in his hand.
The Sun Key and the Moon Key, only when the two keys are put together can the 'door' to the Xilong Pond be opened.
"That circle, and that crescent moon... should be the keyhole."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself as he looked at the two holes that were neither deep nor shallow but obvious on the air gate ahead.
And the facts proved that Duan Lingtian's guess was not wrong.
After Duan Rufeng and Dragon Clan Chief Dishan approached the gate, they took action, pulling the keys in their hands with invisible force and stuffing them into the two keyholes on the gate.
Suddenly, not only Duan Lingtian, Gu Li and Kumi, but also the three people from the Yinshan Black Market headed by Dugu, were all staring at the gate in the sky.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, wisps of clearly visible mysterious power stretched out from above the Sun Key and Moon Key, spreading throughout the entire gate in the blink of an eye.
A moment later, a ray of bright light flooded the door, like the scorching sun in the sky, causing everyone present to subconsciously narrow their eyes.
boom!!
At this moment, a loud noise came.
Accompanied by this loud noise, like the bright light of the scorching sun converging in the sky, the two closed doors seemed to be slowly pushed open inwards by an invisible force.
Boom!!
Soon, the door was completely pushed open.
The moment the door was pushed open, the eyes of everyone present, including Duan Lingtian, all shot into the door, wanting to see what was behind the door.
However, the next moment, Duan Lingtian and others were disappointed again.
Just because, after the door is opened, nothing can be seen except for a thin transparent 'barrier' formed by an unknown force...
In their eyes, the barrier is like a layer of transparent glass, and behind the glass is the canyon.
"Theoretically, there is no time limit for entering the Xilong Pond... When it's time to come out, the formation in the Xilong Pond will send you out."
Dishan looked at Duan Lingtian and said.
As the leader of the Dragon Clan, although he was saddened by Di Jue's death, he was also a person who could take things and let them go.
Since the "five-year agreement" was lost, he would naturally have to fulfill his promise back then and give up the opportunity to enter the "Xilong Pond" to the young master of Qingyun Mansion.
"Um."
Duan Lingtian nodded, feeling a little admired in his heart when facing Dishan who could still talk to him calmly.
At least, he asked himself that if he were Di Shan, facing the person who killed the five-clawed golden dragon ‘Di Jue’, it would be impossible for him to be so calm and calm.
"Dad, I'm going in."
Duan Lingtian looked at Duan Rufeng.
"careful."
Duan Rufeng nodded, remembering Dishan's previous words, and couldn't help but remind him.
"rest assured."
Giving Duan Rufeng a reassuring look, Duan Lingtian said hello to Gu Li and Kumi, and then it turned into a bolt of lightning and shot directly at the 'gate' leading to Xilongchi.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Duan Lingtian hit the transparent barrier on the door formed by an unknown force.
Immediately afterwards, his entire body seemed to be swallowed up by that barrier, and he completely disappeared from everyone's eyes.
Duan Lingtian entered the ‘Washing Dragon Pond’!
"Master Duan."
At this moment, Dugu, the leader of the Yinshan black market who had not spoken since entering the canyon, looked at Duan Rufeng and asked: "You let your son enter the 'Xilong Pond', but the 'Xilong Pond'
