My Blue-Patterned Jiao Can't Possibly Be This Fierce!
Compared to Ma Liang's bewilderment... Chu Xinghe was deep in thought.
To be honest, Zhao Yue Ling had said before that this matter was very complicated, and that the Vast Heaven Holy Land was even involved. She also told me and Ma Liang not to get involved...
At the time, Chu Xinghe simply assumed that Zhao Yue Ling was deliberately making up lies to scare him and Ma Liang...
After all, if a normal person heard something related to the Vast Heaven Holy Land, even if they were very curious, they probably wouldn't dare to ask too many questions.
What's wrong? Tired of living?
But now, after Zhao Yue Ling's explanation, Chu Xinghe was somewhat puzzled.
Because the whole thing is very, very strange. First of all, Zhao Yue Ling's status is not low, but to be honest, Chu Xinghe believes that Zhao Yue Ling's status should not be high enough to make the Moon Shadow Cult so heartless as to send so many experts to assassinate her!
Look at all the assassinations along the way... Damn, how many resources does that Soul-Returning One Blade take to strike once? Chu Xinghe n't know, but he did know that it was only because he accidentally encountered Ma Liang and himself that Zhao Yue Ling was protected. Otherwise, an ordinary Ninth Rank really wouldn't have been able to protect her!
Needless to say, Jiu Hai is an array master under Qiu Tian. The assassination attempt on Yue Ling was so successful that the other party had to pay an unknown price to hire such a powerful expert. This doesn't seem like something that people from the Great Chang Kingdom or the Great Liang Kingdom would be qualified to do!
After all, although both countries are considered major powers, it's no easy task to get a powerful expert of this caliber to help.
What's even stranger is that if the sole purpose was to prevent Yue Ling from returning to the capital, then aren't the costs incurred by those behind this a bit too outrageous?
As for Yue Ling's claim that the person behind her was from the Vast Heaven Holy Land, Chu Xinghe Ma Liang puzzled, but Chu Xinghe didn't know. However, Chu Xinghe stated that it was absolutely nonsense!
The reason is simple... If the people of Vast Heaven Holy Land were really behind all this, then the person behind it, the one Yue Ling mentioned from Vast Heaven Holy Land, would have no reason not to have seen him and Ma Liang along the way.
What? Is that guy from Vast Heaven Holy Land blind? Or does he not recognize me Chu Xinghe, or Ma Liang at all?
Ma Liang and I were standing right next to Yue Ling, and he still managed to get assassinated repeatedly... In this situation, you're telling me he's from the Vast Heaven Holy Land? Listen to that, is that even human language?
Therefore, although Chu Xinghe not know the exact situation of Yue Ling, he was certain that the mastermind behind it could not possibly be someone from the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
The fact that he didn't recognize himself or Ma Liang at all is enough to prove that he is definitely not from the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
Throughout the entire Vast Heaven Holy Land, there is no one who hasn't seen himself and Ma Liang. Those who haven't seen him in True Person might mistake him for someone else because of the countless Chu Xinghe impersonators, but it's impossible for someone from the Vast Heaven Holy Land to mistake him.
"So, once we reach the dock, your mission is complete. You don't need to come with me into the capital, otherwise, you two might be in mortal danger!"
Zhao Yue Ling didn't know what Chu Xinghe and Ma Liang were thinking at the moment, but Zhao Yue Ling didn't want the two people who had accompanied her all this way to get hurt.
Upon hearing Zhao Yue Ling's words, Ma Liang interjected, "How can that be... We said we'd guarantee your safe arrival in the capital, and we mean it. Not a single step less..."
Hearing Ma Liang's words, Chu Xinghe nodded in agreement. At this point Chu Xinghe was also very curious. Was there really someone in this world who was crazy enough to impersonate someone from the Vast Heaven Holy Land and cause trouble behind its back on its own territory?
It seems he never died!
Those who have died know how hilarious the methods of the Vast Heaven Holy Land are!
"Lord Ma Liang... that's the Vast Heaven Holy Land..." Zhao Yue Ling tried to persuade him again.
"The Vast Heaven Holy Land is the right place... Yue Ling, look... If it really is someone from the Vast Heaven Holy Land, that would be even better... I look so much like Ma Liang, do you think if I go back to the capital with you, the people from the Vast Heaven Holy Land might mistake me for the real Ma Liang? If that happens, wouldn't they be completely afraid to target you?"
Zhao Yue Ling fell into deep thought...
Chu Xinghe was speechless...
Damn it... Ma Liang, you're really shameless... The things you said to fool this little girl are absolutely ridiculous.
To be honest, Chu Xinghe was also very curious to see what kind of monsters and demons were behind this!
Putting everything else aside, just based on this act of impersonating someone from the Vast Heaven Holy Land, Chu Xinghe knew he had no reason to ignore this matter.
During his journey through the Great Liang Kingdom, Chu Xinghe noticed something amiss...
Because of past events, the Vast Heaven Holy Land no longer easily intervenes in matters of dynastic change, so even if the Vast Heaven Holy Land knew about the conflict between the Great Liang Kingdom and the Great Chang Kingdom, it would not interfere.
The problem is that if the Great Liang Kingdom is truly ruled by a tyrannical and incompetent ruler, then Chu Xinghe wouldn't feel anything about the change of dynasty in the Great Liang Kingdom.
But the problem is that along the way, Chu Xinghe learned from many refugees that the Great Liang Kingdom used to be very prosperous and powerful, and the people lived a very good life.
It was as if an invisible hand had propelled everything, leading the Great Liang Kingdom to its current state.
If that's the case, then Chu Xinghe believes he absolutely cannot ignore this matter!
"Lord Ma Liang, you must be joking... Although you really do look like Ma Liang, how could someone from the Vast Heaven Holy Land not recognize you..."
Yue Ling spoke with a wry smile.
Upon hearing Yue Ling's words, Ma Liang suddenly realized what she meant...
Ma Liang was just pondering this: could it be that someone from the Vast Heaven Holy Land is really doing something behind the scenes?
But as soon as Yue Ling said those words, Ma Liang instantly realized what was happening...
Because Yue Ling is right. If they really are from the Vast Heaven Holy Land, they would definitely recognize her and Senior Brother Xinghe. So, let alone those assassinations, the masterminds behind them would probably be begging for forgiveness right now!
However, the other party not only failed to recognize him but also continued the assassination attempt. Although Ma Liang was a step behind, he still figured out the key to the situation.
Ma Liang and Senior Brother Xinghe exchanged a glance. From Senior Brother Xinghe's eyes, Ma Liang could tell that Senior Brother Xinghe was determined to find out what was going on behind the scenes.
Just as Ma Liang was about to speak, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
"It's the White Dragon Navy... My God, how did the Great Chang Kingdom's White Dragon Navy end up here... They seem to be after us!"
Someone shouted, and the entire merchant ship was thrown into chaos the next moment!
At this very moment, on the Canglang River, three warships of the White Dragon Navy sailed through the waves, their terrifying speed far exceeding that of the merchant ships. The three warships then formed a triangular formation, surrounding the merchant ships of the Great River Merchant Association!
The leaders of the Great River Merchant Association were stunned by the sight of such White Dragon Navy.
The person in charge of the Great River Merchant Association is offline now!
The person in charge knew that things had been unsettled on the Canglang River lately, with naval forces and bandits on both sides engaging in various forms of robbery and other harassment.
The problem is, let alone river pirates, even if the navies on both sides were to rob passing merchant ships, it would only be some of the lowest-ranking units within the navies doing that kind of thing, right...?
But today, can anyone explain what the hell this White Dragon Navy of the Great Chang Kingdom is?
Isn't the White Dragon Navy the most elite navy in the Great Chang Kingdom? Its commander is none other than Li Weihong, the rising star of the Great Chang Kingdom, known as the Little White Dragon in the Waves!
The White Dragon Navy was known for never having tasted defeat on the Canglang River...
The head of the Great River Merchant Association said, "What merit do we, the Great River Merchant Association, possess that we could allow the White Dragon Navy of the Great Chang Kingdom to pursue us all the way up?"
The problem is that the person in charge of the Great River Merchant Association could clearly see that this was not a misunderstanding. The White Dragon Navy had already surrounded the merchant ship from three different directions, and it was obvious that they were about to attack it!
This left the head of the Great River Merchant Association dumbfounded...
It's like a duck suddenly appearing, and then three Ninth Rank experts ambushing it from three different directions... Isn't this a bit too much of a spectacle?
Standing atop the flagship, Li Weihong looked at the locked-on merchant ship of the Great River Merchant Association with disdain in his eyes!
"Pass on my order: leave no one alive, not even a chicken or a dog!"
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, the messenger immediately began issuing commands according to the commander-in-chief's instructions.
As soon as the order to leave no one alive was given, all the White Dragon Navy began to move, preparing to attack the merchant ships!
Just as the White Dragon Navy was about to launch their attack!
In the distance, a blue light shot into the sky from the Canglang River!
The next moment, a roar shook the heavens and the earth!
Amidst a deafening roar, a giant blue dragon, tens of meters long, cleaved through the surging waves of the Canglang River!
Standing atop the Blue-Patterned Jiao were three men with silver-white hair!
The three stood atop the Blue-Patterned Jiao, gazing at Li Weihong, the Little White Dragon in the Waves, who also sported silver-white hair, from afar!
Upon seeing Li Weihong over there, all three of them simultaneously revealed a look of disdain!
"Thank goodness we made it in time... If that bastard Li Weihong had made his move first, we really wouldn't have had a chance!"
The lord was now marveling at how fast his Blue-Patterned Jiao was...
Otherwise, if Li Weihong had succeeded first, the three of them would likely have faced certain death.
Now that the three of them have successfully arrived here riding on the Blue-Patterned Jiao, if they can stop Li Weihong and kill the target before the White Dragon Navy, and take the target's head to the adults, then the three of them still have a sliver of hope!
"My lord, don't say any more. Quickly have the Blue-Patterned Jiao block the White Dragon Navy. We should strike first!" Night Owl hurriedly reminded his lord.
"Rest assured! In this water, my Blue-Patterned Jiao is the true king... No matter how strong the White Dragon Navy is, my Blue-Patterned Jiao can definitely hold them off for a while!"
As soon as the master finished speaking, he gave the order to the Blue-Patterned Jiao. The next moment, the Blue-Patterned Jiao rode the wind and waves and swept towards the white dragon warship that was closest to the merchant ship!
In an instant, the terrifying waves surged and swept directly into the white dragon warship!
The master wants the Blue-Patterned Jiao to unleash the power of the waves to force that warship back!
But just as the waves struck the White Dragon warship, the terrifying force of the waves split it in two, and in an instant, the terrifying force of the waves swept over all the White Dragon Navy on board!
The force of the waves swept across, annihilating the entire White Dragon Navy...
In that instant, the entire Canglang River fell silent...
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the terrifying Blue-Patterned Jiao!
Not to mention anyone else, even the Lord and his Grow Old Together Trio were completely dumbfounded!
At this moment, Night Owl looked at his master and said, "My lord... I asked you to hold them off, but you just wiped them out completely. Isn't that a bit too much?"
Regarding Night Owl's words, the master replied, "Night Owl, you're right... I was also stunned by the Blue-Patterned Jiao's combat power..."
My Blue-Patterned Jiao couldn't possibly be this powerful!
