164. Dragon-Imprisoning Pavilion on Dragon-Imprisoning Mountain

Upon Dragon Mountain stands the Dragon-Imprisoning Pavilion, and within the Dragon-Imprisoning Pavilion dwells a demonic beast.
The demonic beast is sixteen zhang in length, and its tail resembles the head of a flood dragon.

As Fairy Snake hummed this ditty, it drew the gazes of the others. Xie Wuji asked, "What song is this?"

"A local folk ballad that passes down the legend of Dragon Mountain. It is said that an ancient wild beast still dwells upon it," Fairy Snake replied with a smile as bright as a blossom. Seeing Xie Wuji speak, she immediately leaned in closer and chatted with him for a while longer.

This made Song Xiaoyu quite displeased. She also crowded over and said, "Brother Wuji, have this roujiamo. See how my culinary skills are."

"Ah, thank you," Xie Wuji said with a smile.

Nearby, Fairy Snake glanced at Song Xiaoyu and said with a trace of mockery, "I wouldn't have thought that having a large chest didn't mean you lacked brains—you even know how to curry favor with Brother Wuji."

"Indeed, unlike certain people who only know how to bat their eyelashes all day. I can't help having a large chest either; I've had great nutrition since I was little. Who knows how many people envy and are jealous of me, tsk tsk..." Song Xiaoyu shook her head with a pained expression, which made Fairy Snake want to die of anger.

In this world, women with large chests were few and far between, but flat-chested ones were dime a dozen. Take Baili Qingyan, for instance—she was completely as flat as a board. In the modern world, someone like that would definitely arouse suspicion, because no matter how flat a woman was, it was impossible to be flat to that extent.

Yet in this realm, such women were quite common. Although Fairy Snake's own size was around an A-cup, compared to Song Xiaoyu's "G-cup," the gap was immense.

Consequently, Fairy Snake felt extremely unhappy with Song Xiaoyu. Coupled with the fact that Song Xiaoyu and Xie Wuji interacted with natural ease, much like brother and sister, Fairy Snake let out a huff. "With them being that big, aren't you afraid of losing your balance when you walk?"

"Not at all. Even if I fall, can't they serve as a soft cushion?" With that, Song Xiaoyu hugged Xie Wuji's arm, pressing it deep into her cleavage.

Xie Wuji was no fool; he immediately felt the sensation against his arm and broke into a lewd smile.

"You..." Fairy Snake was furious. Though her cultivation far surpassed Song Xiaoyu's by leaps and bounds, as a woman, her self-confidence was utterly defeated.

Biting her lip, Fairy Snake retreated to the side of Lady Snake, who sighed and said, "I always told you to eat more papayas, but you refused to listen. Now look at you—you were meant to be the legal wife, but you chose the path of a concubine instead."

"Mother!" Fairy Snake said, a trace of spoiled annoyance in her tone.

The group arrived at Dragon Mountain. From the foot of the mountain upward, signs of human activity gradually appeared, such as wheel tracks, footprints, and the embers of campfires all mixed together.

Xie Wuji's party numbered fifteen in total, but every single one of them possessed remarkable martial prowess. Aside from Song Xiaoyu, the others all had formidable skills; Song Xiaoyu had merely intended this trip as a trial for her "Wuyu Dark Skill."

"The Dragon-Imprisoning Pavilion is at the very summit of Dragon Mountain. It seems our journey won't be too lonely," the Island Master said with a smile.

The others successively dismounted, leaving their mounts aside—though Xie Wuji remained seated upon the Flaming Demonic Chicken, as the bird was a potent combat asset in its own right.

Parting the brush, Xie Wuji and his companions beheld a structure in the distance resembling the Yellow Crane Tower. It stood six stories tall, with a considerable number of guard disciples stationed along the corridors of every level.

This must be the Dragon-Imprisoning Pavilion. Its roof tiles gleamed with a golden luster, shining brilliantly beneath the sunlight.

The white walls were covered everywhere in carved relief bricks. The carvings were exquisite, appearing not only on the walls but also upon the tiles and the surrounding door pillars.

Naturally, the carved motifs were dragons, but every single one of these dragons was bound in shackles, perfectly matching the theme of "imprisoning dragons."

Surrounding the Dragon-Imprisoning Pavilion was a spacious, circular plaza, upon which stood around a hundred disciples, all possessing cultivation around the Golden Core stage.

"Tsk tsk, the strength of the Immortal-Exalting Sect is truly formidable. Mere restricted grounds have over two hundred Golden Core disciples guarding them. It seems this place really holds an extraordinary secret," Song Zhong exclaimed with emotion.

The Island Master remarked, "Within this Dragon-Imprisoning Pavilion, I can sense several immensely powerful auras. Everyone, be careful. This place is not far from the Immortal-Exalting Sect; flying at full speed takes only half an hour. Therefore, our margin for error is also just half an hour. We must resolve everything here within that time."

"Understood!" the surrounding people replied in unison.

With that, the group split into several paths, each heading toward a corner of the plaza to deal with the disciples of the Immortal-Exalting Sect.

Xie Wuji shook his body, instantly channeling the Undying Bird Divine Skill through his frame. Flames immediately erupted from him in great torrents, and he lunged forward like a cannonball, striking one of the Immortal-Exalting Sect disciples squarely in the face. Before the disciple could even react, he was sent flying away!

Lady Snake said, "Daughter, did you see that? Xie Wuji was a first-grade Golden Core not long ago, yet already he has reached the Nascent Soul stage. With such rapid cultivation speed, who else in the world can compare? Such a man is the most suitable candidate to be my Serpent Island's son-in-law, not to mention that he masters divine arts like the Immortal Heaven Sword Formation!"

"Mother, you're teasing me again," Fairy Snake said with a blushing face. She joined the fray as well, beginning to slaughter the surrounding Immortal-Exalting Sect disciples.

Lady Snake prowled the periphery, killing as she moved. While striking, she added, "Then just watch as Xie Wuji falls into the hands of that Song Xiaoyu. Her cultivation is mediocre, but she possesses an advantage you lack. Men prefer women with a larger physique, and compared to her, you're like an egg next to a quail egg."

Fairy Snake almost coughed up blood. She had not expected her own mother to mock her, yet she lacked any excuse for rebuttal.

After a flurry of movement, corpses littered the surrounding ground. The group quickly disposed of the bodies because their skills were extraordinarily high; weaving back and forth through the crowd, they had left their targets no opportunity to scream.

Creak...

Lady Snake pushed open the front doors, and a wave of woody scent wafted out from within.

Swish, swish, swish!

The surrounding lamps successively grew brighter. Looking over, the group discovered a dozen wooden men scattered about the area!

"Tsk tsk, they really spared no expense. Eighteen Earth-tier spiritual weapon puppets! Everyone be careful; these puppets are no simple matter. They are products of the Fading Moon Cult, purchased by Qian Jun at a high price. It is said that each puppet is forged from natural spiritual crystals, and their internal strength rivals that of a peak Golden Core stage cultivator," Lady Snake stepped forward and said.

"Just in time for me to loosen up my joints," Fat Dragon said, massaging his knuckles with a vicious smile.

At this moment, Lady Snake smiled offhandedly. "Leave this all to me. Aren't they just a bunch of wooden figures?"

With that, she stepped forward. The puppets seemed to sense Lady Snake's approach as well, simultaneously turning to face her.

"Come!" Lady Snake drew her White Snake Sword. Earlier, after Xie Wuji had pulled the White Snake free, the sword's seals seemed to have been broken, allowing anyone to wield it now.

The puppets surged forward, pouncing directly toward Lady Snake.

Lady Snake narrowed her eyes and suddenly flicked the White Snake. The sword's blade began to soften, transforming moments later into a massive hundred-meter-long serpent!

"Tsk tsk, that trick is too remarkable—turning a sword into a snake!"

"I think Lady Snake maintains her youth even better... Look at that figure and appearance, she's about the same age as you and me brothers, yet she still looks like a young woman," Song Zhong said, licking his lips.

"Don't talk nonsense, she'll hear you," Song Xiao nudged Song Zhong.

Song Zhong chuckled, "I don't believe her hearing is that good!"

"I heard it quite clearly," Lady Snake pivoted. The White Snake Sword in her hand instantly reversed direction, and the massive snake head bit down on a puppet, hurling it into the midst of the others and knocking down a large swath of them.

However, after falling, these puppets quickly rose again, which deeply annoyed Lady Snake.

Xie Wuji asked, "Do these puppets have some kind of driving mechanism? Like a battery or something..."
