Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City-Chapter 693 - 702: Hei Long Pond (9 more)
Ye Ling spoke slowly to Xiao Hei, his gaze firmly locked on the creature; he truly wanted to know if this fellow was indeed the Black Dragon that had escaped from Black Dragon Village.
Upon hearing Ye Ling speak, Xiao Hei couldn't help but let out a contemptuous laugh, "Damn, what Black Dragon Village, what Lord of the Black Dragon River..."
At this, Ye Ling breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a twinge of disappointment. Could it be that this lass wasn't the runaway Black Dragon from the village?
"What? Damn it, what did you say, Black Dragon Village? How the hell did you end up there?" Xiao Hei suddenly seemed to catch on, bellowing loudly, leaving Ye Ling startled. Ye Ling smacked him, "What are you shouting for, you'll frighten all my little ones at home, I'll throttle you, I swear."
"Me, I was being pursued, so I fled to Black Dragon Village. Turns out I had a few drinks with a guy there, chatted a bit too much, and just happened to mention your story."
"Next thing I know, oh my heavens, the whole village was blocking the house demanding I call you over; the village chief even mentioned that there's something in the Black Dragon River, asking if you would go."
Xiao Hei looked stunned for a moment, his expression turning somewhat desolate: "Well, that place is just too small, I really don't want to stay there. Besides, I have to follow you to the Immortal Realm, so no, I won't go."
"But, I still need to make a trip there. How to put it, there's an inheritance of mine in the Black Dragon River. I thought I'd never have the chance to return since I couldn't even find the place. Who would have guessed that you'd stumble upon it?"
"And what about you being hunted down, where's that bastard Xiao Bai? Isn't he always boasting, what kind of nonsense is he sprouting? Let this Lord take care of your vengeance for you!"
Ye Ling nodded, "Alright, if you go, avenge me. There aren't many of them, just a bunch of folks at the Divine Infant pinnacle, plus it looks like there might be one who's half a step into the Immortal Realm?"
"Well, spit it out then, where's the place? I only remember this one thing, did I mention anything else?"
Ye Ling informed the village chief of Xiao Hei's decision; everyone in the room was thrilled. The village chief was so grateful that he wanted to kneel to Ye Ling, calling him a benefactor, but Ye Ling stopped him.
However, Ye Ling felt a bit saddened, truly unsure how they'd react if Xiao Hei refused them. Would they be very heartbroken?
"Okay, I've told it the rough location, but it can't find this place. Village chief, you think of a way to bring it here."
Ye Ling shrugged his shoulders. This place was mysterious, not just anyone could find it—only that inhuman fellow from Xuantian Palace could.
"There's no need to worry. Once Lord Hei Long arrives here, tell him not to move. I'll open the protective seal to let him in."
The village chief was beyond excited. Half an hour later, the entire village had gathered on a desert outside the village, looking up at the sky eagerly, waiting for Xiao Hei's arrival.

"Village chief, he's here. Open the seal."
Ye Ling spoke calmly, and the chief, overcome with excitement, pointed his staff, casting a streak of blue light into the sky, which then dissipated and spread throughout the heavens.
A huge figure appeared in the sky, immense and vast like a mountain range, towering over most of the village.
Its presence was terrifying; black scales in the sky reflected a daunting luster, piercing like knives straight into the hearts of onlookers.
"Lord Hei Long, it really is Lord Hei Long!"
The village chief immediately knelt down, and all the villagers followed suit, their expressions filled with fervent devotion, as if believers beholding their god.
It should be known that in the ten-thousand-year history of Hei Long Village, Hei Long has always been a guardian god protecting them, and moreover, he is a real entity.
Thus, there exists an unparalleled reverence towards Hei Long in their hearts—a noble existence, their Guardian God!
Xiao Hei swayed in mid-air, with Dragon Might vast and boundless, filling the heavens and earth. Ye Ling was the only one standing on the ground, standing out like a crane amongst chickens.
"Everyone, rise."
Xiao Hei descended like a King into his realm, supreme Dragon Might and immense stature making him the Monarch who walked between heaven and earth.
As if obeying a royal decree, all the people stood up. Xiao Hei lowered his body, his vast form shrinking into a ten-meter-long black serpent.
"Lord Hei Long, Lord Hei Long, please enter the village first and wait for our worship!"
The village Elder cried tears of joy; this was a momentous celebration, the most important festival, filled with boundless jubilation, everyone hopping and shouting excitedly.
Ye Ling shrugged his shoulders, following Xiao Hei into the village. When the night came, the village was ablaze with bonfires reaching for the sky.
In the open space within the village, Hei Long coiled at the forefront. Below him, villagers knelt, bowing their heads in sincere worship.
The entire village offered up all their delicacies—wild boar, wild chicken, all the game they had caught—presented to honour Xiao Hei.
Through the succession of bowing heads, Xiao Hei quite calmly accepted the worship; after all, he was the god of this village. What could be wrong about receiving the bowing of his people?
As for Ye Ling, he was stuffing himself at a table that had been prepared earlier, savoring the barbecued game with relish.
God damn, each one of these game meats contained terrifying power. Take this meat, for instance, once eaten, it seemed to dissolve energy that then nourished him.
The creatures living in this space were incomparable to those of the outside world, probably to be considered peculiar mutant species, right?
Once everyone finished their worship, the feast began. People danced and shouted around the bonfires, celebrating Xiao Hei's return which was of utmost significance to Hei Long Village.
The village Elder approached Ye Ling, hands trembling, "Thank you, truly, thank you so much."
Ye Ling quickly stood up, taking the Elder's hands, "It's nothing, it's what I should do."
"Thank you. Look at Lord Hei Long; I don't know what kind of days he's had outside, just look, he gobbled up three wild boars in one go, he must have been starving, gotten so thin."
As he spoke, the Elder wiped a tear from his eye, and Ye Ling was immediately dumbfounded. Good heaven, are you aware of how much this guy has cost me in food expenses over the last year?
"Tomorrow morning, I will open the Black Dragon Pool for you, and I believe you will transform into a dragon in its waters!"
The Elder smiled, and Ye Ling nodded. The Black Dragon Pool sounded quite impressive, but he had no idea what kind of magical place it actually was.
The night passed without incident, and the next morning, the village Elder arrived, first to pay respects to Xiao Hei and then with a smile for Ye Ling said, "Well, the Black Dragon Pool is open, it's time for you to undergo your transformation."
"And Lord Hei Long, please go to the ancestral hall to accept the worship of our ancestors!"
