Chapter 162.1 So, You Are the Spy (1/2)
Inside the courtyard where Zhu Yan was at the moment.
Mo Sanshan had left him, while a few of the West Wolf Hall disciples kept watch. He was tied up to a pillar, surrounded by golden dragon Qi which gathered and formed a sphere.
"Guys, someone help me, please. Take out the dagger from my belly, please! I'm going to die!" Zhu Yan begged.
"Shut up! Wait for the Hall Lord to return!" a man chided him.
Still, Zhu Yan continued bawling, "I'm going to die. I can sense that the dagger is pinned on the gold dragon's head. It's okay if the dragon Qi is leaking, but the dragon itself is already agitated. Itll blow itself up if its too angry! All of us will die if that happens. Please, I beg you, release me!"
"Stuff his mouth!" another man said.
Zhu Yan: "............!"
"Why wont you listen? Why? This is for your own good!"
"Wrrrruuu!"
And so, Zhu Yan's mouth was stuffed with a piece of cloth. His face looked as if he were sick of living. Damn it. Why didn't I just stay at Wang Ke's place? Why the hell did I escape? It's going to explode! Someone come and save me, please!
Just when Zhu Yan was overcome with despairthe ground underneath him cracked.
"Booom!"
Followed by the loud explosion, the ground was split open and a massive creature charged out from underground.
"The f***! What is happening?" Zhu Yan was knocked into the air by the gargantuan beast.
"What's that?" The West Wolf Hall disciples were taken aback. They quickly readied their weapons.
Still in midair, Zhu Yan caught a glimpse of the massive snake head shrouded by dust and smoke.
"Kraakaka!"
The snake opened its jaw and spit a ball of poisonous smoke toward Zhu Yan's guards.
"Oh crap. It's poisonous. Be careful!" The guards were taken by surprise.
It was too late to react, though. The poisonous smoke engulfed the group of people, and they immediately fell unconscious, their mouths foaming.
"Ahhh!"
Zhu Yan fell back to the ground, and the cloth inside his mouth came out.
"Snake... Snake King?" Zhu Yan screamed in shock.
"Zhu Yan! You sure are hard to find, huh!" said the Snake King with a sinister voice.
The bottom half of his body was still underground, but his head and neck were already intimidating enough. The monster looked at Zhu Yan loftily, while the latter trembled in fear.
"Snake King... You... What do you want from me?" Zhu Yan cried out fearfully.
"What do you think?" the Snake King asked with glee.
He did not expect his mission to have such success, merely encountering a few underlings guarding Zhu Yan when he resurfaced. The poisonous smoke he readied for a very long time knocked them unconscious in a blink. And Zhu Yan! Is Heaven trying to compensate me for the disaster I had to go through last time? Zhu Yan is already tied up so I can eat him.
"You... Don't tell me youre going to eat me!" Zhu Yan shivered in fear.
"Bingo! Hahahaha!" The Snake King burst out in exhilarating laughter.
Zhu Yan's eyes rolled, almost fainting.
I just left the wolves' den to stumble upon a tiger? Mo Sanshan wanted to rip my belly open, and now the Snake King wants to eat me? Is it really this dangerous outside?
What madness made me leave Wang Ke's place? What the hell am I doing out here!
"No, don't eat me, please! I'm not tasty!" Zhu Yan cried out fearfully.
The Snake King's eyes glowed as he saw the gold dragon Qi surrounding Zhu Yan's body. He opened his mouth and sucked.
"Whoosh!"
The recently formed ball of dragon Qi entered the Snake King's mouth.
The gigantic serpent closed his eyes as he relished the moment. Next, he spat some glass shards he kept in his mouth. The dragon Qi nourishment was helping piece those shards together.
The repairs progressed little by little. Shortly after, the glass shards joined as one, making a whole sphere.
"My inner core was repaired just like that? Indeed, the ley line gold dragon is awesome! Just a little dragon Qi is enough to repair my inner core. Good, good, fantastic!" The Snake King was elated.
While jubilant, the latter swallowed his inner core before moving his head toward Zhu Yan.

"Don't eat me! Zhu Hongyi is my ancestral uncle. Don't eat me! I'll take you to eat Wang Ke, okay?" Zhu Yan begged.
"Hahaha, I wont have to fear your uncle after I eat you, and Ill be able to eat Wang Ke on my own. The gold dragon inside your body is what I want to eat! Spit!" said the excited Snake King.
The reptile shot forth a beam of light from his mouth, which severed the ropes tying the pitiful human. After all, he wanted to swallow Zhu Yan whole, but not the dislodged pillar where he was still tied to.
Zhu Yan got up, horrified, with the dagger still stuck on his belly, and the Snake King's gaping jaw was moving toward him.
He said in despair, "Damn it! Why!"
His cultivation was sealed at the moment, and he had no power to retaliate. Am I going to get eaten like this?
"I wont stand for this! I'd rather we die together!" Zhu Yan roared hopelessly.
"Die together? Can you pull it off? I will eat you now!" The Snake King opened his mouth wide.
Determination showing on his face, Zhu Yan held the dagger with both hands and twisted it with all his might.
"Gold dragon! Go ahead and explode! I can't live on anyway!" Zhu Yan roared furiously.
Indeed, the dagger twist altered the spell Mo Sanshan had cast on it. Suddenly, a wave of energy stimulated the gold dragon.
"Roar~~~~~~~~!"
The energy beast inside Zhu Yan's stomach let out a painful roar as though it was hit by something and began to struggle.
"Booom!"
Following a loud noise, the gold dragon expelled the dagger.
Such a development left Zhu Yan in shock. What happened? The gold dragon could escape from the daggers effect? Why didn't it do this earlier?
Still, he didn't know that the gold dragon was unable to break free from the dagger because Mo Sanshan had cast a crippling spell on the gold dragon's weak point. After all, it took two powerful cultivators, Zhu Hongyi and Zi Bufan, to capture the creature. How could it be so weak?
Zhu Yan's reckless twist moved the dagger away from the dragon's weak point, and the dagger was flung out.
Now, because of how sudden the dagger was shot out from Zhu Yan's belly, the Snake King had no time to react and shut his jaw. And so, the gold dagger pierced into the Snake King's throat.
The dagger was imbued with Mo Sanshan's spell, and the rare artifact had a strong treasure aura emanating. How powerful was a dagger that could even pierce the gold dragon!
"Boooooom~~~~~~~~!"
"Ahh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"
There was a loud explosion in the Snake Kings throat, followed by a painful shriek.
