The journey was peaceful, with Xu Caiyue maintaining a cold and aloof demeanor, and no ignorant disciples dared to cause trouble.

Before long, Chen Yuan stopped. They had arrived at the back mountain of the Dragon Tiger Sect. Compared to before, the security here was very tight. A dozen disciples of the Dragon Tiger Sect, armed with sharp swords, stood guard solemnly before the back mountain.

Seeing Xu Caiyue and Chen Yuan approaching, the leading Dragon Tiger Sect disciple frowned, picked up his sword and held it horizontally in front of him, saying:

"Junior Sister Xu, the back mountain is a forbidden area. No entry is allowed."

Chen Yuan remained silent, his gaze fixed on Xu Caiyue. In this situation, only Xu Lingtian's daughter could handle it.

"Senior Brother Song," Xu Caiyue cupped her hands and said softly, "Caiyue is under the order of the Sect Leader to visit the former Sect Leader in the back mountain."

Although everyone in the Dragon Tiger Sect knew she was Xu Lingtian's daughter, the way they addressed her was slightly different. They always referred to her as the Sect Leader's daughter; it was a rule.

"Junior Sister, I have not received any orders from the Sect Leader. If you wish to enter, you must present the Sect Leader's Token." Senior Brother Song's tone had softened slightly.

If it were anyone else, he would have reprimanded them long ago, but Xu Caiyue was different. After all, she was Xu Lingtian's daughter, the apple of the Dragon Tiger Sect's eye.

Xu Caiyue smiled and took out the token Xu Lingtian had given her from her bosom, showing it briefly. "The Sect Leader's Token is here. Does Senior Brother Song want to verify it?"

After carefully examining the token, Senior Brother Song frowned slightly. "There is no need to verify the token in Junior Sister Xu's hand."

Of course, the main reason was that he had already scrutinized it, and there seemed to be no problem with the token.

"Then please let us pass, Senior Brother."

"Letting you pass is fine, but only Junior Sister Xu can enter alone." Senior Brother Song carefully examined Chen Yuan, feeling a sense of unfamiliarity.

And for some reason, he had a feeling that he couldn't see through him.

He knew all the outstanding disciples and elders of the Dragon Tiger Sect, but he had never seen this person before.

The back mountain of the Dragon Tiger Sect was the most important location, where the former Sect Leader was in seclusion. He had previously received strict orders from Xu Lingtian, forbidding anyone from entering.

And his character was cold and ruthless, which pleased Xu Lingtian.

Xu Caiyue's expression remained unchanged, but her tone was slightly cold. "Senior Brother Song, which rule of the sect forbids him from entering? The Sect Leader's Token is here. Do you intend to defy orders?"

If Senior Brother Song was just being difficult, Xu Caiyue naturally wouldn't speak like this, but the guy beside her was related to that matter, and she had to let him in.

"Junior Sister, you..." Senior Brother Song hesitated.

"Hmph, this time, I am under the order of the Sect Leader to bring Brother Li to see the former Sect Leader. Senior Brother Song, do not misunderstand." Xu Caiyue once again used Xu Lingtian's name to pressure him.

Chen Yuan had been maintaining a calm expression all along. It was unwise for him to speak now. Taking a deep breath, Senior Brother Song reluctantly nodded and instructed the people beside him:

"Let them in."

"Yes."

As soon as Senior Brother Song gave the order, some of the Dragon Tiger Sect disciples behind him immediately opened the way. Xu Caiyue was silent for a moment and said: "I apologize for the intrusion, Senior Brother Song. Don't take it to heart. Caiyue is just concerned about the safety of the former Sect Leader."

"Junior Sister Caiyue is joking. Your senior brother is not so narrow-minded."

Senior Brother Song waved his hand, his face calm, without the slightest hint of emotion.

"Let's go."

With a soft greeting, Xu Caiyue walked straight ahead.

Chen Yuan nodded, silently following behind her. Watching the increasingly distant figures of the two, Senior Brother Song frowned, feeling uneasy. He said to the disciple beside him:

"Go to the Prefectural City immediately and report what happened today."

Although Xu Caiyue was Xu Lingtian's daughter and would not do anything detrimental to the Dragon Tiger Sect, he couldn't afford to relax his vigilance.

"Yes."

The back mountain of the Dragon Tiger Sect was vast, with numerous palaces and buildings. Chen Yuan wasn't very interested in what they contained. He followed behind Xu Caiyue for about a hundred breaths before stopping. Xu Caiyue pointed to a slightly ancient well in front of them and said:

"This is the place you want to enter."

"Lock Dragon Well!"

Chen Yuan quickly walked forward and examined the 'well' in front of him. It was about several Zhang in size, with dragons and phoenixes carved around the well. Looking closely, each side had a Bagua array. "Miss Xu, thank you."

"Just keep your promise." Xu Caiyue's expression was cold.

"Of course." Chen Yuan smiled, then leaped into the well.

Watching Chen Yuan's figure disappear, Xu Caiyue felt a little uneasy, but she comforted herself, thinking that there was nothing in the Lock Dragon Well. Even if this guy went in, he probably wouldn't find anything. Then she raised her head and looked at a mountain peak in the distance, the highest mountain in the entire Dragon Tiger Sect, where the former Sect Leader was in seclusion.

Xu Caiyue had thought about going to take a look, but she was a little worried about the Lock Dragon Well. She refocused her attention and stared at the Lock Dragon Well. If there were any abnormalities,

She would have to awaken the secluded former Sect Leader no matter what.

Inside the Lock Dragon Well.

Chen Yuan's figure was as light as a swallow, landing slowly. His eyes scanned the environment inside the well, about eight Zhang away from the wellhead, visible at a glance.

The space inside was large and silent, and indeed, as Xu Caiyue had said, there was nothing there.

Chen Yuan didn't care. He directly opened his Heavenly Eye, took out the Dragon Scale from his chest, placed it in his hand, and began walking into the dark well passage that seemed to have no end.

Chen Yuan blew on the fire starter, and the candle flame lit up, illuminating the distance of several Zhang around.

The road under his feet was smooth, and he walked at a steady pace. During this time, Chen Yuan also observed the walls of the tunnel, but unfortunately, there was nothing carved on them.

After walking for about a hundred breaths, covering nearly two hundred meters, the color in Chen Yuan's eyes finally changed. Before him, wisps of light red, mysterious gas emanated from the ground. "Is this the Dragon Vein Qi?"

Chen Yuan thought as he quickened his pace. The Dragon Scale in his hand also began to gradually change. It seemed to have invisible arrays engraved on it,

And began to emit a faint heat.

It was as if he were holding a piece of iron that was being heated. Finally, Chen Yuan arrived at a place where the light red gas was the densest, several times more concentrated than before. Taking a deep breath, Chen Yuan suppressed the joy in his heart.

He placed the hot Dragon Scale on the ground.

One breath...

Two breaths, three breaths... When the time reached the tenth breath, the Dragon Scale was suddenly manipulated by an unknown force and slowly floated into the void. Seeing this, Chen Yuan quickly moved away.

In the next moment after Chen Yuan retreated, a vortex the size of a fist suddenly condensed around the Dragon Scale.

The Dragon Qi from all directions began to converge towards the Dragon Scale.

It had become the center!

"Rumble..."

As the vortex grew larger and larger, the noise it created also became louder and louder.

Chen Yuan's expression changed slightly. He thought that this time it wouldn't be so peaceful after all. As the noise grew louder and louder, it would definitely alarm the entire Dragon Tiger Sect.

In fact, that was exactly what happened. As Chen Yuan's thoughts just arose, the ground began to crack. Outside the Lock Dragon Well, Xu Caiyue, whose thoughts were scattered, was calmly pondering who exactly were these people who kidnapped Feng Ge. Was their purpose merely to enter the Lock Dragon Well for a look?

It shouldn't be that simple, but she couldn't think of what these people would do. After all, she had once asked her father if there was really a True Dragon locked in the Lock Dragon Well.

But Xu Lingtian told her, how was that possible?

The founding masters of the Dragon Tiger Sect were only in the Dan Realm, how could they lock up a True Dragon? There were rumors throughout the world that every True Dragon was the strongest being in the world, the Supreme of the Demon Race, capable of summoning clouds and mist, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, not to be defeated by the top human powerhouses.

Moreover, over the past thousand years, the rumors about True Dragons had become increasingly mysterious. Some people even rumored that the True Dragon race had long disappeared from the world.

It was just that the sect's ancestral teachings instructed the people of the Dragon Tiger Sect to attach importance to the Lock Dragon Well, as it concerned the future of the Dragon Tiger Sect. Xu Lingtian didn't say more.

Originally, Xu Caiyue didn't care, which was one of the reasons why she was willing to agree to Chen Yuan's conditions.

But now, she was wavering.

Could it be that her father was stalling her with his previous words, and that there really was a secret in the Lock Dragon Well?

Otherwise, why would that person value it so much? Before she could continue to think, suddenly...

Waves of rumbling sounds came from within Dragon Tiger Mountain. It started small, but in just a few breaths, it turned into an earth-shattering scene, as if the entire sky was shaking.

Xu Caiyue's expression changed drastically, and she looked at the location of the Lock Dragon Well in disbelief.

Could it be that he did it!

It's over!

If it was really her fault, then her father would never forgive her no matter what, and saving Feng Ge would be out of the question. She had to find a way immediately.

But from her previous judgment, she could also sense that the guy she brought was very extraordinary, probably not someone a Condensing Qi martial artist could shake. It would have to be a Profound Connection expert to capture him.

Thinking of this, Xu Caiyue immediately made up her mind and moved towards the place where the former Sect Leader was in seclusion.

At the same time, the entire Dragon Tiger Sect began to be in chaos. The sudden earthquake left everyone a little dumbfounded, not knowing what was happening.

How could Dragon Tiger Mountain shake?

However, the Dragon Tiger Sect was, after all, a sect. Under the maintenance of a group of elders, they quickly maintained order and evacuated towards the foot of the mountain.

Senior Brother Song, who was guarding the back mountain, was also a little panicked at first, but for some reason, he suddenly thought of the guy that Xu Caiyue had brought into the back mountain earlier.

Could it be that he caused this scene?

Without time to think, Senior Brother Song immediately instructed his fellow disciples:

"We will immediately go to the forbidden area of the back mountain and ask the Sect Leader Ancestor to come out of the mountain!"

With Xu Lingtian absent, the Dragon Tiger Sect was without a leader. Only the former Sect Leader had the prestige to control everything. After giving his instructions, he immediately led his fellow disciples into the back mountain.

Seriously, I'm about to break through, do you guys want a side story? You have to know that this is an unhealthy content, I don't think the gentlemen would like it.
