"Alright, you should first withdraw your people. I'll take a look down there before we discuss anything else."

Yang Yan interrupted Wang Quan and said directly.

"Got it."

Wang Quan hurriedly responded.

As long as Yang Yan was willing to take action, everything would be easier to handle.

Especially knowing that there was a dragon below and still choosing to go down showed that he had a plan.

In fact, Yang Yan was Wang Quan's last straw of hope; he had no choice but to trust him.

After Wang Quan sternly dismissed the others, Yang Yan walked to the edge of the well, peered into the dark depths, and reminded:

"Don't let anyone come over."

After speaking, he didn't wait for Wang Quan's response, grabbed the iron chain by the well, and began pulling it up continuously.

There were eight chains inside the Dragon-locking Well, arranged in the pattern of the Eight Trigrams.

At the moment, Yang Yan was pulling up one of them continuously.

Wang Quan certainly did not deceive Yang Yan, nor did he dare to.

As he kept pulling the chain, a whooshing sound emerged from the well.

At the same time, yellow water, accompanied by a thick fishy smell, started surging upward.

Combined with the unique pressure of a dragon, a suffocating feeling swept over them.

Standing beside Yang Yan, Wang Quan couldn't endure this at all, his entire body trembling like a leaf.

However, Yang Yan seemed unperturbed, continuing to pull the chain upward.

With the chain getting longer, his expression finally turned serious.

After pulling the chain up for dozens of meters, he finally stopped and stared intently into the well.

After waiting a few seconds, there was a commotion in the well, as if something was churning inside.

He then smiled slightly and turned to Wang Quan:

"Remember, don't let anyone come over. I'm going down and will be back shortly."

"Ah..."

Just regaining his senses, Wang Quan was about to say something when he saw Yang Yan jump into the well.

Although Yang Yan had mentioned that he was going down to take a look, seeing him do it in reality left Wang Quan stunned.

He was dumbfounded for a solid ten seconds before snapping back to reality, hastily bending over the well to peer inside.

Unfortunately, the inside of the well was pitch black, and Yang Yan was nowhere to be seen.

"Nothing bad will happen, nothing bad will happen..."

In an instant, Wang Quan felt drained of energy, collapsing to sit in the snow beside the well, muttering to himself.

In the well, Yang Yan pushed through the warm water, diving deeper towards the bottom.

The surrounding darkness didn't affect him at all, and mysteriously, his clothes remained dry.

This wasn't an ordinary Dragon-locking Well!

After diving less than a hundred meters, Yang Yan furrowed his brows.

He then waved his hand, and the surrounding water automatically parted, significantly speeding up his descent.

The space at the bottom was entirely different from how it appeared from above.

It was much more spacious below.

After diving for a full half-hour, Yang Yan finally encountered the main entity.

A massive black figure brushed past him, stirring up large waves.

However, those waves seemed to exist in a different space from Yang Yan, having no effect on him.

"Alright, stop trying to scare me. Since I dared to come down here directly, naturally, I won't fear you. Come over, let's have a good talk."

Yang Yan said very calmly, looking ahead.

As his words fell, a massive black dragon head suddenly emerged nearby.

It moved quickly but came to an abrupt halt less than half a meter from Yang Yan.

Then, it stared at Yang Yan with eyes as large as lanterns.

"Hey! You seem to have achieved something in your cultivation. Can you stop acting like a child? If you aren't embarrassed, I feel embarrassed for you."

Yang Yan said with a smirk.

"Who are you, really?"

The Black Dragon scrutinized Yang Yan carefully before finally speaking.

"I thought you might have forgotten how to speak after not seeing anyone for so long. I'm Yang Yan, the new Moonlight."

Yang Yan said with a smile.

"The new Moonlight? So, the old Moonlight is dead!"

The Black Dragon exclaimed in surprise.

Instantly, the dragon head, which had been just half a meter away, retreated at least twenty meters back.

"Normally, that's probably the case! But whether the last Moonlight is truly dead, I don't actually know."

"I'm curious; you don't resemble the dragon in the tales that was deceived. Is there a story behind this?"

Yang Yan asked, smiling at the Black Dragon, a bit puzzled.

"Deceived by someone?"

The Black Dragon blinked and asked suspiciously.

Yang Yan suddenly laughed, seemingly understanding something.

He then succinctly recounted the legends to the Black Dragon, who burst into hearty laughter.

"Haha! Those guys think they can trap me? What a joke, an absolute joke!"

"Humph! Liu Bowen? I've met that guy; he only pleaded with me to stabilize the Imperial Capital's water veins. With his limited abilities, he wants to trap me?"

"And the Subduing Dragon Arhat? What are those bald monks? Aren't they just glorifying themselves? It's laughable!"

Yang Yan sighed and said:

"Ah! Legends indeed can't be trusted. But if you weren't deceived, why are you here?"

The Black Dragon gave Yang Yan an exaggerated eye roll, speaking disdainfully:

"Of course, for cultivation! What else could it be for?"

Yang Yan furrowed his brow in thought, then suddenly started laughing:

"I see! This is the convergence point of Huaxia's water veins, so it's rich in Spiritual Qi, naturally beneficial for cultivation."

"But if you're here to cultivate, why scare that bald man? He's just a mortal, not worth your effort."

The Black Dragon glared at Yang Yan again, and said irritably:

"So you're here to speak for him? He's quite influential. Let me tell you, that bald man's trying to mess with the land here, which is like disturbing my home. Wouldn't you scare him?"

Yang Yan nodded gently:

"I understand. So, as long as he leaves the well alone, you won't scare him, right?"

The Black Dragon didn't respond directly but replied humorously:

"A distinguished Moonlight helping a common man with such a matter? Truly incomprehensible. I can tell you haven't interacted much with him, have you? What is it that brings you to see me today?"

Saying this, the Black Dragon's eyes unmistakably held a trace of caution.
