Chapter 1251: Chapter 1255 Belief Wavers

Its dragon face cheeks have whiskers like Dark Wool, and its body hair also presents a state close to that of ghosts, with its entire body emitting an eerie glow reminiscent of that from the Jiuyou Cold Pools.

“Chongwang Dragon??” Liu Cuo looked at the dragon beast in astonishment.

Zhu Minglang reached out his hand and caressed the forehead of the Chongwang Dragon.

“Growth period!!” After careful verification, Liu Cuo showed an incredulous expression, and when his eyes stared at Zhu Minglang again, they were already shining with an unusual light!

It was roughly half a month ago that Liu Cuo had visited this place, discussing with Zhu Minglang about the death of the Juvenile Spirits. At that time, the Chongwang Dragon was clearly still in its young phase, and there were still unshed dragon scales on its body, indicating it had just recently transformed into a dragon!

At that time, Liu Cuo didn’t pay too much attention, thinking that this youth must have truly come across some great fortune, with one high-quality young dragon after another, but still felt some disgust towards his action of abandoning the Juvenile Spirits.

However, now witnessing with his own eyes the Chongwang Dragon’s growth from the young phase to the growth phase in an even shorter period of time, Liu Cuo had to re-examine the issue!!

“How did you do it??” Liu Cuo asked.

“What do you mean how did I do it.” Zhu Minglang feigned ignorance.

“The Chongwang Dragon needs thirty years to grow and shed its old skin. Even with a Dragon Shepherd’s perfect nurturing, it would at least take four or five years. How did you make the Chongwang Dragon shed its old skin in less than half a month??” Liu Cuo asked.

“I told you, miracles do exist.” Zhu Minglang replied indifferently.

Liu Cuo looked at this incredible youth and was at a loss for words for a moment.

After deep thought, Liu Cuo suddenly felt a loud “buzzing” in his head, as if he had inadvertently wandered into a Heavenly Court so alien that his mortal senses could not adapt at all.

After feeling dizzy and disoriented for a long time, Liu Cuo then realized that he might have made a big mistake!

Ignorant and uninformed, like a summer insect that has never seen ice and snow, how laughable, how arrogant, how prideful he was!

“Our God is back, Our God is back.”

At this moment, someone in the distance shouted and then knelt towards the dawn-like glow in the sky.

Liu Cuo realized something and hurriedly left.

…

Arriving at the courtyard of the Gods, Liu Cuo started to feel conflicted.

He now had two important matters to report to Bai Qingchen and was unsure which to start with.

But to keep his mind clear and calm, he thought it best to first explain the matter he had been investigating for almost half a month to Bai Qingchen.

“My God, there is an important matter that requires your judgment,” Liu Cuo said and handed over all the collected evidence and documents to Bai Qingchen.

Bai Qingchen took them, and seeing that it was a thick pile, frowned, evidently not interested in reading them one by one.

Liu Cuo understood that Bai Qingchen had just returned and was very tired, so he briefly summarized the major case he had uncovered.

Liu Cuo spoke with righteous indignation; if he had the strength of a God-level Realm, he would have executed all those co-conspirators on the spot, but since the matter was related to people like the Black Pavilion Chief of the Young Spirit Court, it ultimately required Bai Qingchen’s decision.

Having said all this, Liu Cuo breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

These days of worry had been weighing on him, especially the thought of Juvenile Spirits being harmed every day, which made him exceedingly restless.

“This matter can wait,” Bai Qingchen finally spoke after a long time.

“Can wait?” Liu Cuo was taken aback.

In Liu Cuo’s view, this was extremely urgent!

He had been waiting for Bai Qingchen to return so that immediate execution could be carried out!

“I’ve suffered some injuries and urgently need the Immortal Root Spirit Seed. Where is that youth surnamed Zhu? Bring him to me, I have questions to ask him.” Bai Qingchen told Liu Cuo.

Liu Cuo looked at the god he revered with a gaze of confusion and disbelief.

“Go, bring the person here.” Bai Qingchen repeated, her tone turning colder.

“My god, about the matter of this youth, I feel there are some misunderstandings, I…” Liu Cuo said.

“Are you questioning me?” Bai Qingchen said impatiently.

“No, no, no, that’s not what I meant, I obey the command. He was arranged to do odd jobs in the funeral garden, I will call him here,” Liu Cuo said somewhat fearfully.

…

Liu Cuo went to the funeral garden, each step he took was extraordinarily heavy, as if he were dragging chains upon chains.

At this moment, he felt more bewildered and lost than ever before.

As someone who served the gods, he should not have the slightest doubt about his own deity, yet the facts and truth before him forced him to challenge his original faith.

Liu Cuo felt a throbbing pain in his head, and his breathing became rapid.

Finally, he arrived at the funeral garden and saw the youth still carefully attending to the burial rites of the Juvenile Spirits. From many small details, it was clear that he genuinely respected and cared for these young lives. Unlike other laborers who discarded them like trash, he buried them with care and tenderness.

“They are already dead, why do you still sew up their wounds? What’s the point?” Liu Cuo couldn’t help but ask.

“This way, they won’t suffer mistreatment from malevolent spirits and can slowly merge back into nature…” Zhu Minglang said.

Liu Cuo stood there, speechless for a long while.

How could someone who respected even the corpses of Juvenile Spirits abandon a live Little Fox Spirit?

Liu Cuo looked at the Nine-tailed Dragon beside the youth, its face full of tiny happiness, and then at the Chongwang Dragon helping with the burial duties of the Juvenile Spirits…

“You can go. Go down here, there’s a valley path,” Liu Cuo finally managed to utter these words.

“I am bound by a restriction.”

“I will help you,” Liu Cuo said.

Zhu Minglang looked at this supervisory officer and finally nodded his head.

…

Following Liu Cuo, they walked towards the hidden valley road.

Before they knew it, they had left the territory of the Young spirit court.

Liu Cuo was still in a daze, not sure if what he was doing was right. His beliefs were now a mess, and any actions he took at this moment were purely instinctive and innate.

“Be careful on your way, I… I will handle those people, ensuring that the Young spirit court won’t see any more innocent Juvenile Spirits harmed,” Liu Cuo seriously said to Zhu Minglang.

“I believe you,” Zhu Minglang nodded.

As Zhu Minglang was about to leave, suddenly a dawn light appeared on the ridge behind him, followed by a White Tiger Dragon scaling the Light Bridge in pursuit.

The rider on the White Tiger Dragon was Bai Qingchen, her sharp gaze, cold as a sword, piercing towards Liu Cuo.

“You’re very bold, Liu Cuo!” Bai Qingchen said angrily.

Then Bai Qingchen swept over Zhu Minglang with a look of arrogant disdain, the kind she would use to regard Mortals!
