Li Rui's right eyelid twitched violently; he feared something had happened to Dragon Soul, as he hadn't seen it for such a long time! And what exactly was this True Dragon Blood? The latter was truly hard to grasp.
"Shibo, take me over to have a look!"
In the blink of an eye, they had already arrived at the third level of the Shouyang Mountain Underground Palace! What they saw was a drop of blood! But strangely, this blood was very peculiar, carrying a hint of...
"Is this what they call True Dragon Blood?" Li Rui couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm? Is there a problem?"
Li Rui stepped closer to sense it and was suddenly shocked; this was a familiar scent that made the latter deeply worried! It seemed that Dragon Soul was in trouble, and at that time, it should have been taken away by someone from the Four Great Families! The latter knew that entering the Four Great Families at this time was not a wise move.
"The Ouyang Family hasn't gone!"
Upon hearing this, Li Rui frowned slightly; the only lead had suddenly been cut off, and even the Cold Family Head had vanished without a trace. What on earth was going on?
At that moment, the latter suddenly thought of someone! But he felt very frustrated; there was always a special feeling, yet he still needed to find this person.
"Shibo, I'll take this thing for now! Hehehe." Li Rui said with a smile but received a disdainful look from the White-Haired Elder!
Although this drop of Dragon Blood was extremely small in quantity, what it contained was something Li Rui probably didn't even understand. That wasn't all; the surroundings were constantly filled with a bloody light. If it weren't for the White-Haired Elder covering it up well, they would likely have been discovered by now.
"Ouyang Senior, do you have any understanding of the Murong Family?"
Ouyang Han frowned. Although he himself was part of one of the Four Great Families, what the Murong Family did behind closed doors was common knowledge. Moreover, in the current situation, it seemed some people were preparing for something.
Li Rui always felt that staying here was not a solution, so he decided to leave on his own. However, Ouyang Han wanted to remain in Shouyang Mountain, and as for her purpose, the latter had no idea what she truly wanted.
When the latter arrived at the Multiverse, the first thing he did was find the residence of the Murong Family.
The person who came out to greet him was someone Li Rui was very familiar with—wasn't it the Murong Butler? Moreover, the latter seemed to know that he would come, repeatedly inviting him inside, and even the family head was waiting in the hall.
"I have a feeling this is going to be a dangerous banquet," Cold Arrows murmured, and those around them looked at the two with noticeably unfriendly expressions.
When Li Rui met the Murong Family Head, the latter was very polite. The formal tea ceremony was actually a way for him to gauge the latter's background and strength.
"Young Master Li, please!"
The latter smiled as he accepted the teacup, noticing a hint of red in it. Could this be a subtle hint of something?
"This is pure ancient water from the Mountain Snow Pool, and the tea leaves are made from Yulin leaves. How does it taste, Li Shao Xia?" The Murong Family Head continued speaking.
While his words were indeed correct, he kept observing Li Rui's expression changes, seemingly aware of the purpose behind this visit to the Murong Family.
Cold Arrows felt somewhat confused and wanted to get straight to the point! But he was stopped by Li Rui.
The latter took a sip of tea and was surprised to detect a scent reminiscent of Dragon Blood! This made him start to doubt this so-called Murong Family Head; he appeared ordinary, but the skill behind such treachery was not something just anyone could achieve.
"Good tea! Thank you for your hospitality, Murong Family Head. I have come here today with a request; may I ask how you feel about it?"
"Young Master Li's matters are my matters. Just speak your mind; whatever I can do for you, I will certainly take care of it."
Li Rui did not ask where the Dragon Soul had gone, but directly inquired about Master Leng and the envoys who had accompanied them, noting that their whereabouts had suddenly become unknown.
What the latter had not anticipated was that the Murong Family Head had been dodging this question all along! Every response was extremely perfunctory, which left Li Rui feeling very frustrated, completely different from his previous attitude.
"Murong Xuehua, you shouldn't go too far! Your envoys were the loudest back then." At that moment, Cold Arrows suddenly shouted.
At this time, the two people beside the latter frowned slightly, with the most sullen being Murong Xuehua. An older person suddenly being yelled at by such a young one was indeed a bit...
Li Rui began to sense that something was off; it seemed Murong Xuehua was about to explode. Sure enough, moments later, a red handprint suddenly appeared on Cold Arrows' face.
"You..."
"What’s wrong with me? Please call me Murong Family Head. Addressing me by my name is very impolite; didn’t your father tell you?"
The atmosphere suddenly became eerily silent. Li Rui furrowed his brow slightly, feeling an unusual sense of crisis. Suddenly! It seemed he thought of something and pulled Cold Arrows away.
"Stop! Do you really think my Murong Family is a place you can come and go as you please? Aren't you thinking too much?"
This was bad; the situation Li Rui least wanted to see had finally occurred. It seemed that the reputation of this Dragon Gate Candidate was no longer valid, and that transformative situation had suddenly changed his own circumstances! Moreover...
"What does Murong Family Head want to do to us? You don’t intend to kill us here, do you?"
For Li Rui, escaping alone would certainly be possible, but the current issue was bringing Cold Arrows along; the trouble he could cause was no joke.
"Receive three of my slaps! Only then can you leave; otherwise, kneel and apologize."
"Ha ha ha! Master Leng, do you think too highly of us? And with that fierce look on your face, who are you trying to intimidate?" Li Rui provocatively taunted, full of confidence, aiming to rattle the other party.
This guy was cunning and intended to lure Li Rui into taking a swing at him; it wouldn't matter who came.
“Evil Dragon, give me a Dragon Roar to shake them up.” Li Rui shouted at the Evil Dragon located at his Dantian.
The latter had no choice but to comply, as its life depended on Li Rui. The Dragon Roar echoed across the area, causing the Murong Family Head to collapse to the ground, seemingly unaware that such a thing was possible. He rubbed his eyes repeatedly, fearing he had seen something wrong, but the reality was undeniable.
“Murong Family Head, do you still want us to stay here a bit longer, or should I give you three slaps instead?” Li Rui laughed.
“No, no, Young Master Li, please feel free to leave. I was just joking earlier; please don’t…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Li Rui took his hand and left immediately; it was not a place to linger.
“What should we do about finding them?” Cold Arrows asked repeatedly, the worry in his heart never diminishing.
