"Your Highness, is this truly the case?"
At the location of the teleportation portal, Yaksha hesitated greatly when faced with Ao Xin's command.
Ao Xin's order startled Chen Qing. He watched silently from the side, but was extremely vigilant. This guy was capable of plotting to kill the Dragon Palace Kings of the other four seas. Not only was his planning ability outstanding, but he was also ruthless. The key point is that, judging from the current situation, he was also quite ruthless to himself.
Yuchi Feihong, standing to the side, was somewhat puzzled. What exactly did the other party mean by that order?
They pulled the person out of the iceberg, leaving only about ten feet of ice crystals, which seemed to pose a great danger, making the Yaksha hesitate to make a move.
"Just do what I tell you to do. In the current situation, do you expect me to explain everything to you?"
"I dare not!" Yaksha quickly lowered his head, and with a final bite, he clenched his trident and plunged it fiercely into the massive iceberg.
"My lord, what is this?" Yuchi Feihong asked in a low voice, puzzled.
"The teleportation point can't transport an iceberg with such a large amount of energy," Chen Qing responded to Yuchi's question in a low voice. "Unlike living things, icebergs contain complex ice jade energy. If the energy is too large during teleportation, it might overload the teleportation point. Therefore, the other party chose to abandon this huge iceberg and travel lightly!"
Are there any side effects?
"What do you think?" Chen Qing rolled his eyes. "The other party has been dormant for hundreds of thousands of years, relying on this iceberg to freeze his organs and supply him with energy to sustain his life. If he leaves only a foot of ice, the energy supply inside the iceberg will definitely be cut off, and the freezing effect will be greatly reduced. Without enough essence and blood to revive him, once the ice melts and there isn't enough energy to sustain him, his body will immediately necrotize!"
"Oh?" This time, Yuchi finally understood. "You mean, this Third Prince is going to fight to the death?"
"Given the current situation, what else can we do but fight to the death?" Ao Xin looked at Yuchi from within the ice. "Thanks to your lord, I am now in imminent danger."
Chen Qing smiled slightly and did not refute. The other party was not exaggerating this time; it was indeed in imminent danger. Even if the ice layer, which was ten feet high, was not destroyed, it would not last long. According to the estimate, the ice jade would probably disintegrate automatically in a few hours. Moreover, without an energy supply, the body would become weaker and weaker in a few hours, eventually leading to a deterioration.
The opponent was indeed going to fight to the death. If he couldn't find enough essence blood to replenish himself within three hours after returning to the West Sea Dragon Palace, he wouldn't even have a chance to return to the ice layer to hibernate; he would only face certain death!
"In that case, Your Highness, please go first!" Chen Qing stepped back slightly and gestured to the Yaksha.
A Yaksha and a bunch of Blood Guard are all the cards Ao Xin has now. Entering the West Sea Dragon Palace is dangerous at every turn. The other party could have sent his subordinates in to find a solution, but in order not to miss the opportunity, he risked his life and rushed to the front line. Based on this alone, this guy is worth being wary of. In Chen Qing's view, anyone who dares to risk their life is quite terrifying.
"Please, Lord Chen, go first," Ao Xin said sinisterly.
He couldn't let this guy escape. With a quarter of the Baiyu, the probability of him turning around and running away was actually quite high.
"Very well." Chen Qing nodded, then immediately placed the Mystic Turtle aside. "Your Highness has taken good care of me along the way. I hope we can continue our cooperation once we're inside. In that case, I'll take the lead."
"Take care, Mr. Chen." Seeing Chen Qing put the Mystic Turtle down, Ao Xin's eyes became even more wary. "I hope it's as you say, that we'll meet again soon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a bright light shone, enveloping Chen Qing, Yuchi, and the mother- Murong hiding Murong. The Yaksha beside him narrowed his eyes, itching to make a move, but the third prince in the ice sculpture gave him a subtle wink, stopping the other party from making that dangerous move.
Yaksha was taken aback, and only after Chen Qing and the others disappeared did he unable to help but ask, "Why didn't Your Highness let me try just now? Were you afraid that he would use the same method to get the Mystic Turtle back into his hands again?"
"He won't," Ao Xin sighed. "He's a smart man, so he definitely won't take the Mystic Turtle away. The Nine Heavens Mirror Valley has special abilities; it's a rare life-saving talisman. The West Sea is dangerous, and he won't continue to waste such a precious thing here."
"If that's the case, why don't you let your subordinates try?" Yasha asked doubtfully, "Even if he can't kill the opponent successfully, it will at least cost him one chance to use the Nine Heavens Mirror."
"Because I cannot take risks," Ao Xin said grimly. " A Da, whom I sent out to escort Baiyu, has already lost contact!"
"What?" Yaksha was taken aback. "Did something happen to A Da outside?"
"I don't know what methods they used, but A Da definitely didn't respond to my call with his bloodline!"
"This"
"I'm currently immobilized, and you're my most useful asset. If something happens to you, then there really won't be any chance left."
Upon hearing this, Yaksha immediately knelt down. "Your Highness, rest assured, I will protect Your Highness with my life!"
"Let's go." Ao Xin inhaled the icy air and said solemnly, "We only have one chance!"
--
"My lord, why return the Mystic Turtle to them?" On the other end of the teleportation, Yuchi Feihong followed Chen Qing and quickly retreated from the teleportation portal, asking with great confusion in his heart.
"Because it's useless and will only become a burden."
"What do you mean?" Yuchi Feihong asked in astonishment, "Didn't the lord say that the Mystic Turtle could predict good or bad fortune?"
Chen Qing rolled her eyes. "It's true that it can predict good and bad fortune, but do you really believe what it says? We've mistreated that turtle so much, do you think it might try to sabotage us when it gets the chance?"
Yuchi Feihong: "."
"Moreover, the Mystic Turtle is a subordinate of the Dragon Clan, bound by a bloodline contract. Ao Xin can sense its location wherever it is. Taking it with him is tantamount to exposing your location. Being on someone else's territory and constantly revealing your position is no different from courting death."
"Your Majesty is truly thoughtful," Yuchi Feihong said with a smile after understanding the situation. "This subordinate is not as good as you."
"You're not inferior; you just lack sufficient information to make the deduction." Chen Qing waved his hand. "Among the warriors I've met, there aren't many smarter than you."
"You flatter me, my lord." Yuchi Feihong smiled, then asked, "My lord, since Ao Xin has run out of resources for revival, why is he so eager to enter the West Sea Dragon Palace? Could it be that there are resources here that can help him revive?"
"Yes!" Chen Qing nodded.
"If that's the case, what gives Shen Laoda the right to control this place?" Yuchi wondered. He believed that with the terrifying pressure emanating from those nobles, any one of them, once awakened, could easily crush Shen Laoda.
"Because resources are hard to come by," Chen Qing lowered his voice, "There's hardly any essence blood left in the Dragon Palace. The Heavenly Dragon Palace was the Dragon Palace's greatest resource back then. Now, if we want to revive it, we can only try to get rid of the Dragon Transformation!"
" Dragon Transformation?"
"Hmm," Chen Qing nodded, "After Dragon Transformation, the life force of a dragon will expand unprecedentedly, but its body will become extremely vulnerable under the impact of this surge of energy. If that vulnerable moment is seized, then these Dragon Transformation offspring will be the best nourishment!"
"I see." Yuchi nodded. "Then, my lord, what should we do now?"
" Dragon Transformation!"
"Huh?" Yuchi was taken aback. "Didn't the lord just say..."
"What I'm saying is that there will be a period of weakness after Dragon Transformation," Chen Qing laughed. "But as long as you can get through that period of weakness, then in the Dragon Palace now, you will have the opportunity to control the entire Dragon Palace!"
That's all for today. Goodnight everyone!
