An was not surprised by the astonished cheers of the crowd.

Almost every year, Dragon Castle hosted the Great Owls from the Thirteen Provinces.

And each time these Great Owls came, they cheered and exclaimed with emotion.

An had grown accustomed to it.

Yang Fei watched as Master Sanjian, Yan Wuxin, and Qiu Yidao all stood there, staring blankly.

He felt a bit strange.

"Master Sanjian, have you never been here before?"

Master Sanjian came back to his senses and smiled bitterly.

"Brother Fei, you flatter us. With our status, how could we enter Dragon Castle?"

"In the past, when I came with Buddha Lord, we waited on the ship for Buddha Lord's return."

Yang Fei sensed that something was amiss.

"Why would Dragon King Hall make an exception this time?"

Master Sanjian sighed.

"I don't know, but since we are here, let's be at ease."

"Let's see what Lord Dragon King has to say."

Yang Fei also sighed and nodded his head.

An led the way forward.

Before long, An brought Yang Fei and the others to a villa courtyard about a kilometer away from Dragon Castle.

He smiled and beckoned Yang Fei and the others to enter the villa.

"Please forgive the inconvenience, and stay here for the next few days."

Mad Blade looked up at the towering Dragon Castle and couldn't help but gape.

"Can we take a stroll inside Dragon Castle?"

"Such an ancient castle must be really interesting."

An started in shock, his face turning pale.

"Sir, please don't joke about such things."

"Dragon Castle is the forbidden territory of Dragon King Hall, accessible only to the Dragon King, Dragon Envoys, and Special Commissioners."

"Whoever dares to intrude will be shot immediately."

Mad Blade jumped in fright: "Is it that serious?"

The others also woke up from the picturesque scenery's enchantment.

It was only now that everyone realized.

This place, seemingly an Immortal Realm in the Human World, was not some Jile World.

It was the headquarters of the menacing Dragon King Hall.

Yang Fei gave a wry smile.

"Alright, no saying or doing anything rash, let's go in."

As Yang Fei entered the villa courtyard, Ye also arrived at Dragon King Hall.

Five winding islands stretched out, linked head to tail, encircling the central island as stars cluster around the moon.

The wonder of nature's creation filled one with endless amazement.

At this moment, Ye had already walked along the long steel cable-stayed bridge to the island closest to the central one.

This island, closest to the central one, was beautiful—with lush meadows everywhere.

The Dragon King Hall, famous throughout Jiangnan and beyond, was located here.

The island was shaped like a green snail, with stone paths winding their way up the mountain.

The Three Divine Halls of Dragon King: the Hall of Supreme Gods, Central Divine Hall, and Lower Shrine, were built along the mountain's contour in orderly succession.

These three halls represented the core military force of Dragon King Hall.

Those who could enter the three halls were Martial Arts Masters who had undergone Core Formation and God Communicating.

Diagonally opposite the three halls was the distant, misty central island.

This island was the Holy Island where Lord Dragon King sequestered himself for Closed-door Cultivation.

It was also the absolute forbidden area of Dragon King Hall.

Without Lord Dragon King's permission,

no one, including the Dragon Envoys of the Three Halls and The Two Immortals of the Forbidden City, was allowed to set foot there.

Violators would face death!

As a Divine Shrine Dragon Envoy, Ye went to the highest Hall of Supreme Gods.

In fact, the so-called Hall of Supreme Gods was merely a courtyard house with three courtyards and three layers.

In the courtyard, there was a pagoda, a Scripture Pavilion, practice fields, and pavilions for meditation and cultivation.

In such a courtyard, four Dragon Envoys lived.

The Dragon Envoys were colleagues as much as they were friends with shared aspirations.

However, Dragon King Hall did not restrict the Envoys from leaving.

The four Dragon Envoys of the Hall of Supreme Gods spent more than half the year traveling in the outside world.

Given the influence of Dragon King Hall, they seldom needed these Dragon Envoys to take direct action.

The Divine Shrine Dragon Envoys were like the nuclear weapons of several superpowers.

Their role was merely strategic deterrence.

Ye stepped into the Hall of Supreme Gods, the surroundings cold and desolate, the flagstone path immaculate.

The other three Dragon Envoys were indeed not at home.

Ye was not surprised and passed through the central courtyard, heading toward the back.

What surprised Ye was,

in the pavilion of the backyard, he actually encountered Chen Yu from The Two Immortals of the Forbidden City.

Since Chen Yu was severely injured by Xue Mingtai, he had been healing at headquarters.

But this guy did not belong to the Divine Shrine Dragon Envoys.

In the pavilion, Chen Yu and a sallow-faced middle-aged man were playing chess at leisure.

Both men appeared extremely relaxed.

A smile flickered across Chen Yu's handsome and devilish face.

"Ye, welcome home," he said.

The sallow-faced middle-aged man, however, did not even glance at Ye.

He nonchalantly picked up a chess piece and placed it on the board.

Ye felt some doubts in his heart.

The Two Immortals of the Forbidden City and the Three Divine Halls of Dragon King both served Lord Dragon King,

yet The Two Immortals manage all sorts of affairs, while the Dragon Envoys of the Three Divine Halls only focused on cultivating martial arts and did not bother with specific matters.

Only if a formidable enemy appeared at Dragon King Hall would the Dragon Envoys mobilize to exterminate them.

There was no private relationship between the two groups.

Of course, not all Dragon Envoys were like Ye.

Some Dragon Envoys enjoyed mingling with The Two Immortals of the Forbidden City to snag some advantages.

For instance, the White Dragon Envoy who died at the hands of Yang Fei was one such case.

Although it wasn't forbidden for The Two Immortals of the Forbidden City to enter Dragon King Hall,

Ye had gotten used to acting alone.

So seeing Chen Yu here was somewhat unexpected.

Chen Yu invited Ye to sit down with a grin.

But Ye did not sit, merely saying coolly, "Running into you is perfect, I have something to discuss with you."

"I was actually planning a trip to Dragon Castle, but now that can be avoided."

Chen Yu responded with a sound, slightly surprised.

"A matter that the Night Dragon Envoy deems important must be extraordinary, please speak."

Ye glanced at the sallow-faced middle-aged man.

Chen Yu immediately understood Ye's intention.

He chuckled, "This gentleman is Qian Junzhong, an Australian Chinese, a recent brother joining the Dragon God Hall."

"He can be trusted, you can speak your mind."

Qian Junzhong nodded slightly to Ye, looking very haughty.

Ye nodded slightly in return.

The loss of three Dragon Envoys from Dragon King Hall and new members joining was not unusual.

Ye did not conceal anything and said lightly,

"On the cruise ship, I encountered the Ghost-Face Spider."

He just said that sentence, and said no more.

Knowing how clever and adaptable Chen Yu was, he would surely understand what that meant.

As expected, Chen Yu suddenly stood up, his face showing shock,

"What, Golden Poison King has infiltrated our Dragon Island?"

Ye shook his head.

"I'm not sure, I have searched the cruise ship repeatedly, but have never found any trace of the Golden Poison King."

"But the Ghost-Face Spider did indeed appear on the cruise ship, so I came specially to inform Protector Chen."

In Dragon King Hall, Chen Yu held the position of the Left Protector.

While another person, Chijin, was the Right Protector.

Chen Yu looked tense.

He stood up and walked over to Ye,

"Could it be the Heavenly Demon Alliance dares to invade Dragon King Hall?"

"This matter is of great importance, we must..."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly widened as he looked behind Ye, shouting in disbelief,

"Golden Poison King!"

Ye could not help being startled and turned around abruptly.

At that moment, Chen Yu, like a bolt of lightning, rushed forward,

his palm striking the back of Ye's heart.
