Chapter 542 - 386: Going to the Appointment Together
Li Yi slit open the young Jiao, gifted its peeled scales, extracted tendons, and excised dragon bones to his master Zhao Ge. He then tossed the Jiao dragon into a large pot to cook, entrusting Shou Hou to mind the fire, preparing for a sumptuous meal to come.
"Big brother, I have no experience in stewing dragon meat. What if I mess it up?" Shou Hou scratched his head, somewhat reluctant to take on this task.
This was, after all, a rare treasure, of which he had no confidence in handling.
Li Yi said, "Just cook it until it’s done. The meat will soften in the pot; how could it be ruined? Go ahead with confidence. Once it’s ready, I’ll treat everyone to dragon meat. Although it’s just a young Jiao, its flesh is extremely nourishing, greatly beneficial for cultivating martial arts."
"Since big brother says so, I’ll give it my all," Shou Hou clenched his teeth, accepting the task, and called over two fellow disciples to assist.
At this moment, Zhao Ge suddenly recalled something and asked, "Right, Meng De, you mentioned earlier that something important was happening today. I don’t think it’s the cooking of dragon meat."
"Master, my arrival in Sanyang City was urgent due to the matter of the ghost gods. I had previously made a promise to the people of the four major families to help them exterminate ghost gods. In exchange, the four families would spare no effort in supporting me," Li Yi said. "Now the time is ripe, and I plan to take action tonight."
"I had already slain a ghost god named Tian Xiong on Ghost Street upon my arrival. Now it’s time for the other ghost gods of the Four Seas and Eight Continents. I have arranged for the Yin Gods of the four major families to issue challenges. If all goes well, a great battle will erupt outside Sanyang City tonight."
He briefly summarized the matter in just a few words.
