The moment Chen Qing released the turtle, A Bao vanished!
Yuchi Feihong couldn't even see how A Bao disappeared before he appeared in the hand of the Yaksha opposite him.
Yuchi's face turned dark instantly!
He knew the gap between him and these two monsters was enormous, but he hadn't expected it to be this vast. He couldn't even see their movements clearly. Even an ant encountering a giant should at least be able to see how it was crushed before it dies, right?
What made him even more desperate was that Chen Qing's act of putting on a show had completely ruined his chances of survival!
The two Yaksha grinned maliciously at Chen Qing. Did this guy really dare to release the Mystic Turtle? Did he really think they would hesitate to test the waters for fear of harming the turtle?
Are you kidding me? You're just a human. Even if you say something outrageous, the purity of your energy is what it is—no different from an ant. What makes you think you can fool us?
But Ao Xin's brows were furrowed beneath the iceberg; Chen Qing's expression was too calm, giving him a bad feeling!
bite.
Sure enough, my bad premonition came true the very next second!
With a snap of his fingers, Chen Qing created an extremely bizarre scene.
The Mystic Turtle that had just been taken back had reappeared in Chen Qing's hands!
This scene made the Yaksha look sharply at the hand that had just grabbed A Bao, which was now empty. It was completely dumbfounded. How did the other party do that?
At this moment, a faint mist surrounded Chen Qing.
"I see." Ao Xin looked at Chen Qing: "The core of Nine Heavens Mirror Valley is in your hands. What exactly is your relationship with that woman?"
That woman?
Chen Qing frowned, puzzled. He roughly guessed that the other party was referring to the woman that Shen Laoda had mentioned before, but Chen Qing really didn't know who that person was.
No comment!
"Your Highness!" The two Yaksha looked at Chen Qing warily.
" Nine Heavens Mirror Valley doesn't have much energy left, does it?" Ao Xin laughed. "How many more times can you use this Heaven-Obscuring Reverting Spear Technique?"
"How many times it can be used is not important," Chen Qing said calmly. "As long as it can temporarily trap Your Highness, that's enough. Your Highness, have you thought this through? In the current situation, you probably won't be able to get out of here in half a day at most!"
"Good, brilliant!" Ao Xin nodded. "I don't know how you know so many secrets, nor do I know where such ambition comes from for a human who hasn't even reached the Transcendent level, but since you've managed to do this, I admit defeat!"
Nine Heavens Mirror Valley, one of the top spacetime arrays of the East Sea Dragon Palace, was tricked away by that woman back then. While sealing the Ancient Insect, it also allowed the Dragon Palace to awaken for a thousand years!
Now that this kid has the core in his hands, there's nothing he can do; he really doesn't dare to make any further moves.
At this point in time, the other party certainly has the ability to fight to the death!
"Half is impossible," Ao Xin said seriously. "A quarter is the limit. Don't be too greedy. A quarter is still the resources needed to restart the Dragon Palace. Any more, and even if I return to the West Sea alive, I won't be able to explain myself!"
"OK!"
Chen Qing didn't continue to haggle. Asking for an exorbitant price and then settling for less is normal. A quarter of the Baiyu, if managed well, is enough to build Jiangnan into a second-level divine kingdom, which is barely enough to achieve the purpose of this trip!
" Ying Yi, you are in charge of directing the dragon to transport these cloud shells out of the Dragon Palace. Within three hours, deliver them to the location designated by the master!"
"Yes!" The Yaksha dared not disobey, for he could see that this human could indeed threaten His Highness!
"Sir, may we leave now?"
"Of course!" Chen Qing nodded and smiled, "Please hurry, Your Highness. After all, if we delay even a little while, who knows how much that monster will have grown?"
"In that case, please release A Bao, sir, so it can divine which path would be safer for us."
Without hesitation, Chen Qing released the Mystic Turtle, allowing Ao Xin to further confirm that Chen Qing still had some energy in the Nine Heavens Mirror Valley. He couldn't help but start calculating.
Yuchi, standing to the side, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his anxiety had not lessened.
Chen Qing's plan was being implemented step by step, and now, through threats, he had barely achieved his goal. But what would happen next?
The West Sea Dragon Palace will likely target Chen Qing in the future. Can Jiangnan withstand the retaliation from such an ancient force?
That's not all. The key issue is that Chen Qing can't leave now. How will they part ways afterward? He can't very well go with him to the West Sea Dragon Palace, can he?
Would I even survive if I went there?
--
On the other side, as the Ten Thousand Jiaolong Grand Formation trembled, the various Dragon Palace began to exude terrifying pressure. Clearly, the old monsters that had been dormant for countless years were finally about to awaken!
Compared to the Heavenly Dragon Palace, a force temporarily formed by the Four Seas, the Four Seas Dragon Palace, as the foundation of all major forces, sealed the most dragon blood seeds, and the number of monsters that were revived in the first instance was far greater than that of the Heavenly Dragon Palace!
At this moment, the various forces that were transforming into dragons were immediately locked onto!
East Sea Dragon Palace
Chen Baifeng stood in front, watching the outside warily.
The area where they were located was sealed off almost instantly. Countless Blood Guard surrounded them, their crimson eyes fixed on the group of outsiders, but they did not make a move immediately.
"Senior Chen, these are them."
" Blood Guard!" Chen Baifeng sneered, "Ancient blood sorcerers, true lackeys of the Dragon Palace. Back in those days, when the Ten Thousand Islands Kingdom was under the Dragon Palace's control, these blood sorcerers were all high-ranking high priests!"
"So many years have passed, and people still remember us."
The leader of the Blood Guard had a hoarse voice. He looked at Chen Baifeng and his group with a smiling expression, but he gave off an extremely cold feeling!
Countless years have passed, and the ambitions of the human race have truly grown ever larger. They actually dared to take the initiative to invade this place; they are truly audacious.
"What are they waiting for?" Pang Xingyun asked, frowning.
"We're waiting for the Dragon Transformation results." Chen Baifeng coldly looked outside. "They're lackeys, they always check the market price before making a move. If our human- Dragon Transformation is successful, then we'll be their masters, so of course they wouldn't dare to act now!"
"What an arrogant junior!" the leading Blood Guard sneered in an aged voice. "Is it really that easy for Dragon King Breed to succeed? I've lived for so long, and I've seen countless foreign bastards trying to rise to the top in one step, but I've never seen a single one succeed!"
"Then why haven't you made a move yet?" Chen Baifeng sneered, "Isn't it because even if there's only a one in a million chance, you bunch of old ghosts who value your lives wouldn't dare to gamble, would you?"
All the Blood Guard' faces immediately turned cold. The arrogant sorcerer's words were indeed harsh, but they hit their weak points.
How much did they sacrifice for this immortality?
They diligently serve as blood slaves in the Dragon Palace, just so they won't be devoured by the evil spirits of the Yin-Yang Road after they die of old age, right?
Over the years, including that great cataclysm, they even abandoned their offspring, letting them wail and die, yet they dared not delay the Dragon Palace's mission, all for the sake of survival.
Now, so many years have passed, and those horrific disasters of that time may have wiped out their own descendants long ago.
The kingdom's glory is gone, the bloodline descendants are gone, the family is gone, everything is gone, the only thing left is this life!
As long as I'm alive, there's still a chance to start over.
Kingdoms can be rebuilt, and as long as the Dragon Palace prospers again, they can still serve as the high priests of a nation's glory.
Even if blood ties are severed, one can remarry. Beautiful wives and concubines—as long as they live, with their power, how many could they not want?
As long as you live, everything you have will come back; if you die, then you truly have nothing left.
So Chen Baifeng is right, they dare not gamble, not even with a one in ten thousand chance!
