Chapter 89 The Dragon Turns Against Him
After saying this, Jiaolong stared intently at the three of them.
He believed that several people would agree to his conditions, and Chen Chunan had witnessed his abilities.
Even if Han Yuqiu had doubts, Chen Chunan could put in a good word for her.
But to his surprise, Han Yuqiu and Chen Chunan hesitated.
The dragon immediately bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "You wish! The True Lords of the Pingjiang Water Vein have already promised it to me!"
Chen Chunan could tell that Chi Mianxi lacked confidence and was even bluffing.
The dragon was taken aback: "What makes you think you can take over Pingjiang?"
Chi Mianxi's heart tightened. As a fellow Nascent Soul cultivator in the mid-stage, she could clearly sense that her strength was far inferior to that of her clansman.
She was worried that the promised conditions might be reduced, so she could only look at Chen Chunan and Han Yuqiu.
Just as he was about to speak, Han Yuqiu said decisively, "The future ruler of Pingjiang has been decided! Whether you defect or not, this decision will not change."
Upon hearing this, Chi Mianxi was deeply moved. If there weren't outsiders present, she would have wanted to shout to Han Yuqiu: Loyalty!
Jiaolong had not expected Han Yuqiu to be so assertive, completely disregarding whether he would become an opponent.
He looked at Chen Chunan in astonishment; he had learned about Bai Chi's strength from the Viper.
He was confident that his abilities were far superior to those of this dragon.
Especially after killing two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Central Region, he managed to collect all the spiritual treasures.
Now his strength is greater than before, and in terms of value, he is definitely higher than that white dragon. They have no reason not to choose him.
Chen Chunan returned his gaze with an apologetic look, then said, "A person cannot stand without integrity. The four True Lords of the three sects made a promise together; how could they go back on their word? However, that viper is a cunning and treacherous creature; his promise to you cannot be taken seriously. I know you possess great magical power, but my advice is, if you don't intend to defect, it's best not to get involved. Trust me!"
Although Chen Chunan knew that the dragon was powerful, he knew that under the dragon transformation tribulation, the viper would have no chance of escaping.
If the dragon is also affected by the calamity, it will likely not fare well either.
Jiaolong saw that Chen Chunan not only did not speak up to win him over, but also gave him a warning.
My heart sank instantly.
He didn't understand why the three sects, fighting five against three, acted as if they had it all figured out.
According to him, the four of them had a hard time defeating a single viper before, and last time they only managed to injure the viper by using their supernatural powers to launch a sneak attack.
If I join in, the other side shouldn't have any chance of winning at all!
He turned his head and met Chen Chunan's gaze, which was full of warning. His heart tightened immediately.
"Very well, since you've made your choice, I won't waste any more words. Chu Nan, would you be willing to reminisce with me?"
Jiaolong changed the subject and looked at Chen Chunan.
Everyone could tell that the dragon probably wanted to ask Chen Chunan for some information.
Thinking of the Yang Talisman on Chen Chunan's body and the restrictions on the cave, Han Yuqiu only greeted Chen Chunan once before taking her leave.
Chi Mianxi gave the dragon a warning look and then left.
The pavilion was instantly left with only one person and one dragon.
"Now that they're gone, I won't hide it from you anymore. That viper used half of Pingjiang's water veins to get my help. You should know how important water veins are for dragon transformation. Is it really impossible to discuss this?"
"I can guess that your path is completely different from that of the viper. The only thing that can persuade you is that water vein. But this time, I can only advise you to be cautious. This time is different. That viper is doomed. Unless a true immortal is alive, no one can stop it! That's all I can tell you. Whether you get involved or not is up to you."
Chen Chunan did not want this dragon to get involved. Its innate divine power was terrifying, and if it became an enemy, his side would likely suffer losses.
Therefore, the above statements contain exaggerations and threats, but the one thing you must not do is show weakness.
Han Yuqiu had previously worried that Chi Mianxi's involvement would ruin the implementation of the Heavenly Tribulation Summoning, so she agreed to Chen Chunan's idea of using the Pingjiang water veins to win her over.
Now that an even stronger dragon has arrived, wouldn't she be worried?
However, there is no second water vein to offer now.
The promises of the four True Lords cannot be empty words; we can only see if they can intimidate the dragon.
After listening to Chen Chunan's words, Jiaolong fell into a long period of contemplation, which was rare for him.
Chen Chunan wasn't in a hurry. He poured him another cup of tea and then poured one for himself, slowly savoring each sip.
After a while.
The dragon suddenly looked at Chen Chunan and laughed: "You're kidding me!"
Chen Chunan's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm: "How do you know?"
The dragon said, "The fact that you were able to use the Pingjiang River to win over that dragon shows that your chances of winning aren't high, and you need to increase your leverage. The reason you rejected me is simply because you're unwilling to give up on that dragon. But you're also afraid that I'll really help that snake, so you used those words to bluff me."
Chen Chunan was shocked; he had underestimated these beings who had lived for thousands of years.
It's amazing that they were able to deduce the truth so accurately in such a short time!
Chen Chunan's expression remained unchanged: "We really don't want you to get involved and become a variable. But it's true that the Viper is doomed, and even if you help him, you can't change the outcome. It's just that you've made enemies with the five Nascent Soul cultivators of Jiangzhou for the power of the water vein."
The dragon suddenly lost interest and said, "Forget it, you don't need to explain anymore. I thought we had a past, and I even gave you so many treasures, so you would help me."
Chen Chunan was overjoyed, knowing that this meant the dragon did not intend to be their enemy.
However, he couldn't help but retort to the dragon's words, "You said it yourself, that it was to repay the debt of saving my life. Besides, you were very unfair, not leaving me a single spiritual treasure, just some medicinal ingredients."
The dragon's expression became slightly unnatural: "Those are all the signature spiritual treasures of those major sects. The waters here are too deep; I'm afraid you won't be able to handle them. I'm at least a whole realm higher than you; I can withstand some storms better than you. Why don't you understand my good intentions?"
Chen Chunan couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly, then asked curiously, "Didn't you go to the East Sea? How dare you come to Jiangzhou? Aren't you afraid the Daoist sect will plot against you?"
Upon hearing this, the dragon sneered: "If I had truly obtained the Pingjiang water vein, I wouldn't need to avoid anyone other than a Nascent Soul cultivator. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come. But now it seems I still have to continue my journey to the East Sea. I learned about the Central Region from the Seven Immortals Island, and among them, the Dao Yi Sect is the most domineering. However, there are still a few forces they can't afford to offend. The Seven Immortals Island is one of them."
"What are you planning to do now? Go back to the East China Sea?"
"I will go back, but before I do, let me help you out first."
Chen Chunan was slightly taken aback: "Even if you help me, I don't have any water veins for you."
The dragon laughed loudly, "The water veins are worth my time, and so are you! Let's consider this a good deed."
