Chapter 961: Ancient Legend

After receiving such a gift from Xu Yang, Lister became overly excited, laughing non-stop. He nearly swallowed his cigar, and his embrace of the two women drew scornful looks from the entire Glory Team.

"Boss, you're spoiling Lister too much. This guy might lose his ambition indulging in pleasure!" the Joker couldn't help but quip, teasing him.

Xu Yang snorted in response, "He doesn't have the guts. As long as I'm here, Lister won't be able to stir up any trouble. Let's give him a little taste of success first. If he dares to neglect our training again when we get back, or if he drags the Glory Team down, then I'll have to make him see reason."

Xu Yang's "carrot and stick" approach made Lister shiver, and he immediately resumed his disciplined posture.

Bringing the two young women before the group, Ling Yao snapped her fingers. With a light gesture, she completely removed the seals on the two mermaids. Since they were now Lister's puppets, and with Lister present, their lives were firmly in the hands of the Glory Team members. They could no longer stir up any trouble, unless they no longer wished to live.

Therefore, the ice seals binding them were no longer necessary. Furthermore, Ling Yao's power was immense; if the ice power remained attached to them for too long, it could cause some damage to their essence. After the seals were removed, the two girls felt a great sense of relief. The cold sensation on their bodies quickly faded, and they no longer dared to misbehave, kneeling respectfully before Xu Yang. At Lister's command, they bowed to each member of the Glory Team one by one.

"Alright, no need to be so polite," Xu Yang said. "From now on, you'll stay with Lister and serve him well. My brother here has no issues; as long as you treat him sincerely, he won't mistreat you." Xu Yang gave Lister a look, effectively reminding the young man that with two such beautiful attendants now by his side, there was no need to chase after other women.

"I have a question for you. After we entered this Dragon Battlefield, where did that incredibly loud dragon roar come from in the west? Besides that, we also need to know all the secrets concerning this Purple-Tier Dragon Battlefield."

The two mermaid girls did not hesitate with Xu Yang, as they were already practically members of the Glory Team. They immediately shared a mental link, transmitting all relevant information about the space to everyone in the Glory Team.

Upon receiving this information, Xu Yang and the others finally understood. "So that's it. Those five old fellows in the Dragon Legion's elder council awakened powerful cultivation methods because they obtained some treasure from this Dragon Battlefield. If everything is as you two say, then the legacy ruins in the Dragon Battlefield should still exist!"

The two mermaid girls immediately nodded. "Since it is our master's command, even if we risk our lives, we will achieve our goal."

Xu Yang raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Does opening the entrance to the Dragon Battlefield's treasure involve life-threatening danger? I asked you to follow my brother, not to meet your demise. Before this is done, we will protect both of you. Just lead the way."

However, the response the two mermaid girls gave Xu Yang and the others soon astonished everyone. It turned out that the spiritual pool where the two girls had just bathed was the only entrance to the treasure below the Dragon Battlefield.

Without further hesitation, everyone immediately dived into the deepest part of the pool, led by the two mermaid girls. They followed this sole entrance channel towards the Dragon Treasure Seal location. The entire process did not encounter any more dangerous situations. When everyone resurfaced from the deepest part of the pool, they found that the surrounding scenery had undergone drastic changes; it was no longer the starting point they had arrived at.

"My heavens! There are so many skeletons hidden here! What on earth happened?"

The elder mermaid sister spoke, "Sir, you do not know. This Dragon Battlefield was not originally a sealed space. Countless years ago, when Yingzhou Continent first formed, it was a sought-after treasure trove for countless pirates. It is said that a top-tier expert from beyond the desolate end once fell on Dragon Island. And the unrivaled dragon on that island was that expert's pet, leaving behind the expert's supreme cultivation techniques. Whoever could successfully land on that island and complete the Dragon's Trial would be qualified to become the inheritor of the dragon master's cultivation methods.

After that news spread across the entire Yingzhou Continent, countless experts from various factions formed their teams and sailed along the sea routes, solely to gain something from this quest. You can imagine what happened later. That dragon was simply not something ordinary people could contend with. Almost all the experts who dared to set their sights on Dragon Island ultimately perished here.

Until later, a team called Black Pearl, sailing a black warship, followed the relics left by their predecessors to this place and finally successfully landed on Dragon Island. They were also the only ones to leave that island alive throughout these countless years. Since then, the Dragon Legion force rose in the western part of the entire Yingzhou Continent. It is said that at that time, the Black Pearl team had over twenty members in total, but only five survived and left Dragon Island. And those five people are the five supreme experts who now control the Dragon Legion's elder council, and also the founders of the entire Dragon Legion."

The mermaid girl's explanation completely resolved the doubts in the hearts of the Glory Team members. However, soon after, Plancis couldn't help but raise his own question. "We know that what you said holds no hidden meaning. But according to you, this Dragon Island existed tens of thousands of years ago when the continent was just formed, and this legend has been passed down for a hundred thousand years. The Dragon Legion's establishment was less than a thousand years ago at most. So, the time when the five elders of the Dragon Legion founded the legion doesn't seem to align with the spread of this Dragon Island legend at all! Could it be that no one succeeded in this island's legend for tens of thousands of years? How could those five old fellows who created the Dragon Legion create a miracle when no one had succeeded in such a miracle for so many years?" Plancis's question quickly received unanimous agreement from the team members. Everyone seemed to be puzzled by this question; however, the mermaid girl also provided a clear explanation.
