It was definitely easier to ask for information from the beginning and verify it with real facts, especially when you were willing to spend money.
In just one day, Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao verified all the information more than three times and concluded that every piece of information Bai Zeyan told them was true.
While verifying the news, the two discuspp0plsed which rumors were closer to the miracle created by Longting, and then decided which lake they should explore first, but they didn't reach a conclusion until they returned to the hotel in the evening. Because all the lakes sounded like the entrance to the Dragon Palace, and no matter which one you explored, it would take a long time and bear great risks.
They could take risks but didn't want to waste time.
When they returned to the hotel, Ye Luyao remembered that Bai Zeyan was still tied up by them, so she turned to Tang Yunqing and suggested, "Let's ask him?"
"I don't believe him."
Although the information Bai Zeyan gave them was true, who knows if it was a smoke bomb he released?
"I think you are too sensitive. He is a subordinate sent by my father to find Longting. He must have been checked before coming."
In fact, Tang Yunqing was not so suspicious in the past, but carrying the Sea Dragon Pearl was equivalent to carrying a rich national treasury on his back. Of course, everyone looked like a bad guy, let alone Ye Luyao did not know the internal affairs of the Sea Dragon Clan and what the current situation was, so it was necessary to be careful.
"I don't want to upset you."
Tang Yunqing glanced at Ye Luyao. Although he didn't say anything else, he understood what he meant. Even the Dragon City Lord who respected him the most could rebel, let alone a third-level guy who couldn't be defeated by eight poles. What about the Hidden Dragon Guard?
Understanding does not mean understanding and acceptance. Ye Luyao immediately frowned and was about to get angry, but he didn't know how to refute Tang Yunqing.
"We will investigate further in the next two days, and at the same time make thorough preparations before leaving."
"Um."
Although Ye Luyao didn't want to waste any more time, he still agreed to Tang Yunqing for the safety of their lives.
Tang Yunqing saw Ye Luyao's slightly depressed side face and sighed in his heart.
Ye Luyao was anxious, but he was also anxious. You should know that the endless blue sea surrounds the entire Law Continent. Once the Sea Dragon Emperor falls, the Sea Dragon clan changes owners and is controlled by the demons, then war will break out in the future, and the Law Territory will be attacked from all sides, so he is determined not to let the demons succeed, and he urgently needs a stable endless blue sea so that he can save the people of Weilan City.
After finishing the topic, Tang Yunqing was about to return to his room, but Ye Luyao reminded him that Bai Zeyan was still tied to the chair in his room, so they went to Bai Zeyan's room first.
When the two opened the door, they immediately heard an urgent "woo woo" sound. They looked around and saw the chair with Bai Zeyan tied up fell to the ground. There was tape wrapped around his mouth and a rope tied to him. I don't know what material it was made of, but it was difficult for him to break free even with the physical strength of his third-level strength. Looking at Ye Luyao, with grievances.
Tang Yunqing walked over and tore off the tape. After Bai Zeyan hissed in pain, he didn't dare to get angry or speak.
Tang Yunqing ignored his gaze and continued to untie him.
Although Ye Luyao was a princess and her status was very different from Bai Zeyan, she was still a Hidden Dragon Guard who was willing to sacrifice her life for him, and what she did was indeed a bit unreasonable, so being stared at by Bai Zeyan for a long time was a bit unpleasant. Sorry, I can only say, "We really have no choice but to take this step. If you can stop following me, then we won't tie you up tomorrow, okay."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Zeyan looked horrified, "Are you going to do it tomorrow?"
"Um."
After Ye Luyao nodded as expected, he ignored Bai Zeyan's sad face and returned to his room. Tang Yunqing couldn't help but laugh and went back to practicing, leaving Bai Zeyan alone in a daze full of despair.
The next day.
As expected, Ye Luyao and Tang Yunqing did not break their promise. They went to Bai Zeyan's room early in the morning, knocked him out and tied him up, who was on guard at the same time buying some necessities for adventuring.
The materials and medicines that the two of them had bought in Qianshan City had already run out in "Qianshanwanshui".
When they returned to the hotel that night, the two of them had already decided to go to "Po Lake" where many people had heard the roar of the dragon in January of this year.
The reason why Soul Lake was called Soul Lake was because many adventurers had seen souls floating on the shore of the lake. There were human souls, beast souls, and even the souls of deceased demons and sea dragons, but the latter two were mostly just rumors, and it was unknown whether they were true or false.
Based on the existing clues, Ye Luyao felt that Po Lake was most likely the entrance to Longting, so he strongly recommended that Tang Yunqing go to Po Lake.
Tang Yunqing was actually more optimistic about the Great Lake where the dragonfish were caught, but Ye Luyao was the princess of the Sea Dragon Clan. He didn't think he knew the Sea Dragon Clan and Longing better than him, so in the end he chose to listen to Ye Luyao.
Po Lake is more than 300 miles away from Wanshui City and is surrounded by dozens of lakes. Usually adventurers want to go there, and it is not difficult, but Ye Luyao and Tang Yunqing are different. They are wanted and targeted by thousands of water tribes, and they are likely to be attacked by the water tribes, so they will not rush there before they are fully prepared.
Walking from the lobby to the third floor where the living room is located, the two of them untied Bai Zeyan again, then returned to their respective rooms to practice and rest. The next day, they knocked on Bai Zeyan's door again and tied him to a chair, going out to buy necessities to go to Po Lake.
Tying Bai Zeyan up three times in a row made Tang Yunqing feel a little troublesome. At one point, he wanted to throw him down and move to the west of the city with Ye Luyao, but he was afraid that Bai Zeyan would lose his mind and unite with the other Hidden Dragon Guards to look for them. Attracting the attention of the Sea Dragon Guards would be a serious problem. Bai Zeyan had no ill will towards them, and he had no evidence to prove that Bai Zeyan was a traitor to the Hailong clan, so he could not be cruel to him.
"What a troublemaker."
Tang Yunqing could only sigh.
On the fourth day they met Bai Zeyan, Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao were finally ready to set off. So this time they did not tie up Bai Zeyan after knocking him out, but threw him onto the bed casually, they left the city. Going to Po Lake.
On the first day the two of them traveled more than 130 miles without any incident, but on the second day the two of them only traveled more than 70 miles because in the afternoon, when the two of them were passing by a lake, they suddenly met a water tribe who had bad intentions towards them.
With Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao's current strength, they were naturally not afraid of the fifth-level peak water tribe. However, because of the ripples caused by the battle with this water tribe, their position was exposed, which in turn triggered hundreds of lakes in the northern part of Wanshui City. Hundreds of water tribes of various levels rioted.
If there was no division of land between each lake, Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao would never have been able to escape the capture of the water tribe. Not long after escaping the pursuit of many water tribes, the two encountered the water tribe again after much pursuit.
War was inevitable.
Its whereabouts were leaked, making Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao's journey to Po Lake difficult.
On the third day, instead of moving forward, they retreated more than ten miles.
On the fourth day, the two of them encountered a three-headed fifth-level peak water tribe. They were seriously injured and had to find a place to heal their injuries, which took two days.
On the seventh day, Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao finally arrived at Po Lake, but as soon as they arrived at Po Lake, they encountered a sixth-level water creature. After a fierce fight with all their strength, the two killed the sixth-level water creature on the spot. He was killed, but he was also seriously injured and had to hide again to heal and practice. It was not until the twelfth day that the two had the opportunity to search the entire lake, but there was no abnormal reaction from Hai Longzhu.
After circling the lake, they took a boat into the lake and dived to the bottom of the lake to search, but there was still no reaction from Hai Longzhu. The two naturally understood that this was not the entrance to Longting, and had to return in disappointment.
When they returned to Wanshui City, the two faced many dangers from the Water Tribe and the Sea Dragon Guard, and fought almost every day.
The journey to Po Lake took the two of them more than a month, but they returned empty-handed. It must be said that this was a very frustrating thing for the two of them.
However, the fierce life and death battle that lasted for a month was not completely in vain.
First of all, Tang Yunqing had clearly felt the signs of breaking through the sixth-level compatibility of the "God-given Code".
Secondly, the compatibility between the Eye of Exploration and the Whip of Error had been upgraded to another level, and the compatibility between the Path of Truth had also increased.
Furthermore, the fierce battle and escape for a month made Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao cooperate more and more closely, and Ye Luyao further awakened the inherited memories.
There were many benefits, but no matter how many benefits, as long as Tang Yunqing's cultivation realm was not broken through and Longing was not found, in Ye Luyao's opinion it was not worth it. This thought made Ye Luyao's mood very unstable. He could still restrain himself when the two of them were in danger, but when they were about to arrive at Wanshui City, he couldn't help but get angry with Tang Yunqing.
"How about we ask Bai Zeyan to contact the other Hidden Dragon Guards? Not only can we get more useful information and advice, but we can also prevent some problems that shouldn't have arisen, and we won't waste time like this! It's all because of you Coward, he was sent by my father to investigate Longting. If they can't be trusted, then who can I trust in the future?" Ye Luyao was very irritable.
Tang Yunqing was naturally a little angry after being accused by Ye Luyao. His idea was very simple. Except for the City Lord of Truth and the God of Valor, he didn't trust anyone, let alone the Hidden Dragon Guards, he had to carefully consider whether they would rebel. After all, it was not common in history for a son to seize his father's power.
