"Is it that obvious?"

Yang Yan chuckled softly, then his expression turned serious:

"Alright, I admit, helping that bald guy today was just part of it. Mainly, I want to know, where exactly is the Immortal Slaying Array in the Imperial Capital?"

The Black Dragon's whiskers trembled noticeably, and it asked in confusion:

"Immortal Slaying Array? Sounds intimidating. But, what is it?"

Yang Yan snorted coldly:

"Don't think about fooling me. You've been in the Imperial Capital for so long now, you must know a lot. Moreover, since I'm here asking you today, it's clear that you do know."

The Black Dragon was silent for a few seconds before seriously asking:

"What are you looking for it for?"

Yang Yan said in a deep voice:

"It's not me looking for it. Someone wants to use it to slay dragons and kill gods on February 2nd! I just want to stop those crazy guys."

As soon as it heard this, the Black Dragon exploded, with rolling Dragon Breath instantly filling the entire space.

"Slay the dragon?! Who dares to slay a dragon!"

Its voice echoed endlessly in the water-bound space, as if the whole water region was boiling.

"Don't look at me, I don't know either." Yang Yan sneered, "I only have so few clues now. As for the specifics, I'm as confused as anyone."

He indeed did not hide anything; he only knew a few traces of the opponent at the moment.

"In the Imperial Palace!" the Black Dragon said leisurely, "What you are looking for is inside. However, it's already quite decayed, and it probably can't be fully activated."

Imperial Palace!

Yang Yan couldn't help but frown slightly, then nodded:

"Got it, I'm leaving now. I'll let the guys above know what to watch out for. Also, don't go scare him again. That guy is so timid, he's almost wetting his pants."

After saying that, Yang Yan turned around and quickly ascended to the surface.

Today's matter wasn't actually over yet.

Since the Black Dragon already said that this place is its home, the necessary sacrifices naturally cannot be omitted.

Courtesy demands reciprocity.

If someone shows you respect, naturally you must reciprocate, right?

Upon reaching the surface, Yang Yan jumped directly out of the well, and Wang Quan, who was eagerly waiting at the well's edge, got a fright.

He fell back into the snow again, trembling all over, almost actually wetting his pants.

Once he realized it was Yang Yan who had emerged, he couldn't help but feel both surprised and delighted, then shakily got up and asked excitedly:

"Uh... Mr. Yang, are... are you alright?"

Yang Yan blinked and smiled as he retorted:

"What could possibly happen to me? Alright! Go prepare the three sacrifices, then pick a day for the ceremony, and this matter will be concluded."

"However, this well absolutely cannot be disturbed again; otherwise, I won't protect you, nor will I choose to protect you."

"To be safe, why not just fence this area off and preserve it as a scenic spot? It might even become a selling point! Almost everyone wants to have a share of the Dragon Qi..."

Upon saying this, Yang Yan lightly patted Wang Quan on the shoulder again.

Upon hearing that this matter finally had a definitive outcome, the bald man felt a huge sense of relief.

"Mr. Yang, are there any specific requirements for the three sacrifices?"

Wang Quan asked cautiously.

Now that things had come to this point, it was naturally whatever Yang Yan said goes.

And there absolutely couldn't be a single oversight!

Otherwise, being held in grudge by a Black Dragon really would be a fate worse than death.

The sight of that ferocious Black Dragon was still fresh in his memory, making his liver tremble even at the thought.

Regarding this question, Yang Yan couldn't help but frown.

He thought for a moment and also felt that since a ceremony was to be done, it should be more formal, especially since he didn't have to source the materials himself.

And judging from Wang Quan's demeanor, he seemed capable of preparing those things.

So he said to Wang Quan:

"The horse should be a two-year-old black-maned, black-tailed, red horse. The cow should be a three-year-old, earthy yellow cow. The sheep should be a three-year-old black ram."

"Prepare these first and then notify me. As for the timing, there are no particular requirements."

Wang Quan counted on his fingers, noted everything down earnestly, then nodded seriously:

"Understood, I will prepare these as soon as possible. It's just that then we will have to trouble Mr. Yang again."

Yang Yan waved his hand dismissively and said:

"It's fine! I originally agreed to help you sort this out, so let's just say it's settling the karma of the Jade Pendant."

A slight smile appeared on Wang Quan's face as he said sincerely:

"Regardless, we still need to properly thank Mr. Yang. Although this matter is just a small affair for you, for me, it represents my entire life and could even endanger my life!"

"Let's go, Mr. Yang, it's already noon. Let's go have a bite to eat first."

Yang Yan didn't decline Wang Quan's invitation.

He followed this local boss to an elegantly decorated private restaurant, where a sumptuous table of food and drink had already been prepared.

After Yang Yan took his seat, the feast began.

Throughout the meal, Wang Quan repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Yang Yan.

Yang Yan merely smiled, refraining from saying much.

After finishing the meal, he took leave of the bald man.

He had another important task today.

A special person was arriving at the Imperial Capital.

Even when in East Sea City, Wuyan had mentioned she was coming to study at Imperial Capital University.

Originally, it was mentioned that she would come to the Imperial Capital first and visit East Sea City to see Yang Yan when she had time. In the end, Yang Yan actually arrived before her.

At the train station, Yang Yan stood at the exit waiting for her.

Because she lacked a sense of security, Wuyan did not choose a more convenient flight but took a high-speed train instead.

Wuyan said that she would stay in the dormitory directly once she arrived here.

The initial plan had some variations; her mother and younger brother didn't accompany her over.

Wherever a beautiful woman goes, she always garners high attention and naturally becomes the focal point of men's gazes.

Wuyan was no exception.

Ever since she was on the train, many men had tried to strike up a conversation, but she had declined them all.

The school Wuyan attended actually had a long time before the semester began.

However, due to family reasons, she had fallen behind in her courses.

After discussions with her teacher, her teacher also wished for her to come to the Imperial Capital earlier, so that she would have sufficient time to catch up with her studies.

As soon as she left the train station, Wuyan was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the Imperial Capital's people.

Many illegal taxi drivers surrounded her, asking where she was headed, promising how much cheaper it would be to take their ride.

After struggling to break free from the circle of illegal taxi drivers, Wuyan was just about to sigh in relief when she suddenly felt someone tugging at her handbag.

As she turned her face to see, she only saw a middle-aged man behind her, holding her mobile phone.

"What are you doing?"

Wuyan shouted loudly.
