"Your Highness has finally come to your senses?"
In a secluded spot, Chen Qing looked at Ao Zhen, who had just come to her senses, and asked gently.
Ao Zhen touched her face. She knew about the extraordinary ability of the Nine Heavens Mirror Valley rewind time, but this was the first time she had ever experienced such a realistic feeling of death. Because of that thing, the East Sea had the most valiant army in the four seas. And an army that is not afraid to die is always the most powerful.
"How many more times can you use this?" Ao Zhen asked directly.
"This is the last time," Chen Qing said with a smile.
Both Yuchi Feihong and Murong Yunji, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but roll their eyes.
This is the last time I've really gotten tired of hearing it.
"You anticipated that person?"
"No." Chen Qing honestly shook his head. "He's a variable. As he said, among all the forces, he's a very inconspicuous figure. Although I sometimes think he's a bit abnormal, I never imagined that one day Xiao Mingyue would fall into his hands!"
This is true. Xiao Mingyue has always been someone Chen Qing admires. Despite being so feared by the emperor, ostracized by the ministers, and lacking a reliable family of sorcerers, she managed to find a way out by cooperating with the Ancient Insect.
With his exceptional skills and cunning, he was truly surprised that such a person had fallen into the hands of that cunning Prince Consort Fei. He even felt it was more normal for the consort to have fallen into the hands of Shen Laowu, since the Ancient Insect's loyalty to a human was so blatant that it would give people the impression that it had ulterior motives.
But Prince Consort Fei
Chen Qing curled his lip. That guy whose wife publicly provoked him, yet he didn't dare to say a word?
Are honest people really this scary these days?
I doubt he's an honest person.
"That guy has other ancient scents on him," Ao Zhen said.
"Oh?" Chen Qing asked curiously, "Does Your Highness know where it is?"
"Not entirely sure. He carries the scent of Red Lotus Karmic Fire, somewhat like that of the Demon Hall."
"Is Your Highness sure?" Chen Qing's eyes turned serious. He had been on guard beforehand, fearing that a follower of the Demon Hall might have infiltrated the group of ancient sorcerers, especially a madman who believed in the Red Lotus Karmic Fire. He was the one who needed to be most wary, since that huge thing above their heads was the best fuel!
"I'm not sure." Ao Zhen shook her head. "He came from the South Sea, and I don't know the South Sea situation there. Perhaps... he encountered a seed of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire in the South Sea."
Chen Qing: "."
"Now that I'm here, how do you plan to cooperate?" Ao Zhen asked Chen Qing.
As Chen Qing was speaking, Murong Yunji suddenly spoke up, "There's a question I'm not sure about. Would Your Highness be so kind as to answer it?"
"What's the problem?" Ao Zhen looked at the other person, and Chen Qing was also taken aback. What was this guy doing here?
"Why did you choose us at the last minute? After all, as that man surnamed Fei said, he is now also Dragon King Breed. According to your dragon clan's tradition, once you successfully Dragon Transformation, you become one of their own bloodline. His bloodline combined with yours would create a powerful alliance, and you might even have the chance to rule the four seas. Isn't that a good thing?"
Chen Qing's expression changed, and he was about to change the subject when Ao Zhen quickly replied, "Because a long time ago, my father said the same thing."
Chen Qing's face immediately darkened, but Murong became even more curious. "Your father? Did he introduce you to a foreign Dragon King Breed?"
Chen Qing: "."
"No," Ao Zhen shook her head, "He was talking about himself!"
"Huh?" Murong was taken aback at first, but as someone from a grassland family, she instantly realized what was going on, her face turning ashen. "This is really true."
I don't want this!
Chen Qing choked for a moment, then nodded repeatedly, "I understand, I understand."
"So I constantly hone myself, becoming stronger, stronger than anyone else!" Ao Zhen coldly gazed into the depths of the West Sea: "I joined the Four Seas Alliance when I was fourteen. That time, I swore that if I couldn't fight my way up on the battlefield and make my father fear me, then I would die on the battlefield!"
"You won?" Murong's eyes gleamed with excitement.
"We won!" Ao Zhen laughed, "I am the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the West Sea, appointed by all the elders, so from that moment on, he dared not do anything to me!"
"I see." Murong Yunji nodded and smiled, "Your Highness is truly a remarkable person!"
"You should be too," Ao Zhen, looking at the other person.
"I can't compare to you," Murong shook her head with a wry smile. "If I had been stronger back then, I wouldn't have married into the Jiangnan."
"Ahem, let's not dwell on such somber topics." Chen Qing coughed lightly, interrupting the two heroines' heartfelt conversation, and said, "Time is of the essence, Your Highness, please cooperate. As you have seen, the Heavenly Ghost Octopus dares not enter under the sea of fire for the time being, and our magic array will not delay him for long; he will find us soon."
Ao Zhen turned to look at Chen Qing, her eyes regaining their previous coldness, tinged with a hint of scrutiny. "Why do I have this feeling that you, Mr. Chen, know everything about Ao Zhen's past?"
Chen Qing felt a chill run down his spine, and forced a smile, saying, "How could that be?"
"I don't think so. After all, that old man still has some sense of shame. He didn't make a big fuss about it back then, but he had the intention in secret. Besides the Empress Dowager, only I knew about that."
Chen Qing: "."
Who wrote this script? Drag them out and beat them to death!
"However, Mr. Chen doesn't seem surprised to me. Is he used to this kind of thing?" Ao Zhen stared intently at Chen Qing. "Moreover, the condition Mr. Chen initially gave was that I stand opposite my father. It seems that from the beginning, Mr. Chen felt that my relationship with my father wasn't very good."
"Oh, this?" Chen Qing said seriously, "Human tragedies are often far more terrible than what Your Highness has described. I have seen many families smother newborn girls in cesspools because they didn't want daughters. Your Highness was born with such noble blood and had the opportunity to prove yourself on the battlefield from a young age, which is already very good!"
"Is that so?" Ao Zhen silent for a moment. She knew about the preference for sons over daughters in the world, but she didn't expect that someone would actually do it. From a biological point of view, it was incomprehensible.
"As for Your Highness's relationship with the West Sea Dragon King, well, many people know it's not a good one."
"You are indeed no ordinary mortal!" Ao Zhen looked at Chen Qing. Even if many people knew, it was something from hundreds of thousands of years ago. This guy, a mortal, whose lifespan is limited to three hundred years, how could he possibly know about things from so long ago?
The only explanation is that he is no ordinary person!
"I'm curious, since you don't want my body, how do you plan to cooperate?"
This wasn't just a question for Ao Zhen; even Murong, standing nearby, was curious. The Dragon King Breed was incredibly powerful, and Ao Zhen was at the level of a war god. Once such a person recovered, their power would absolutely overwhelm them; it was simply unequal. If Chen Qing didn't restrain them, how could they cooperate?
Yuchi Feihong, on the other hand, probably had some idea.
Sure enough, the next second, Chen Qing summoned a huge talisman that appeared in the sky. Ao Zhen immediately felt that strange feeling, that power, which seemed to be connected to the entire West Sea. It seemed that if she agreed, she would become a person of another world!
"What is this?" Ao Zhen asked seriously.
" The West Sea Divine Seal!" Chen Qing said solemnly, "This is the Divine Seal of the God of the West Sea. If Your Highness is willing to believe, you will become a follower of the God of the West Sea and one of the Sea God gods under his command. Your bloodline is noble and your power is great. If you are willing to become a follower, you will still be the commander-in-chief of the West Sea's three armies!"
" The West Sea. A god?" Ao Zhen was stunned. She had roamed the West Sea for so many years and had never heard of a god in the West Sea.
Could it be an ancient force?
This explains why the ancient times are reviving and need her power.
This Chen Qing truly has a powerful force supporting him.
No wonder, after all, for a human to attempt to collide with the ancients is a dead end!
But who exactly is this God of the West Sea?
--
At this moment, Tian Heng, who was guarding outside the Ten Thousand Jiaolong Grand Formation, was trembling with fear. The Ten Thousand Jiaolong Grand Formation was completed, and the massive water vapor had been successfully collected. Those terrifying dragons had long been eyeing his side covetously.
The two sides were on the verge of war, but Tian Heng knew very well that once the war started, his side had no chance of winning!
At this moment, the Water God Army, who was standing with him and bracing themselves against these ten thousand dragons, were all feeling their scalps tingle. Especially the Yaksha, who was also there, had delivered a large pile of giant mother-of-pearls and was waiting on the opposite side with a cold smile.
Tian Heng didn't know what was inside those giant seashells, but he was certain that whatever could captivate the attention of ten thousand dragons must be extremely important.
As for that Yaksha, he had never seen anything so powerful before. He knew at a glance that this Yaksha could kill him in an instant!
My lord, does he truly have a chance of winning?
The suffocating pressure had left Tian Heng feeling numb; he felt like he could collapse at any moment, and he didn't know how much longer he could hold on.
One day? Two days?
Tian Heng gave a bitter smile. In truth, he knew very well that he probably couldn't even last half a day!
Did I really make the wrong choice this time?
boom!!
Suddenly, unexpectedly, a strange change occurred that caught both sides off guard.
From afar, Yaksha had initially looked at Tian Heng and his group with great disdain. He had thought that the kid Chen Qing must have some powerful backing to threaten the Crown Prince of the West Sea, but it turned out to be nothing special.
These chick-like humans, he could slaughter them all by himself without any military force, as long as he took action!
Now he was only waiting for an order. He was guarding this spot to prevent the other side from hiding the Baiyu in some unknown place. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince gave the signal, he would make these humans regret daring to threaten the dragon race!!
A day and a night of playful observation had made him a little irritated, but just as he was about to try teasing the other person, a very strange change occurred.
For some reason, suddenly, the human general in the lead glanced at them, and everything seemed to change!
Many, many years ago.
It's as if I had this feeling when I was first born in this vast ocean.
Surrounded by the boundless ocean, a tiny life is born; the ocean's embrace, a gaze upon the void.
It still can't understand that kind of existence, the feeling of being watched by the ocean!
My mother said that the Yaksha are a chosen race blessed by the ocean, and that every Yaksha is watched over by the gods at birth!
I still owe you two more updates, I'll definitely make them up this weekend. I'm so sorry for the long delay.
