"I never expected you to still be alive!!"
In a secluded place, Ziyue found an ancient sorcerer who was severely injured and hiding in a coral forest. He had been fortunate enough to successfully Dragon Transformation into a Coral Dragon, possessing extremely realistic transformation abilities. In the underwater coral forest, he could completely conceal his presence and Fusion into the surrounding coral, making him very difficult to find.
But Ziyue still found it, because the other party was someone she knew, relying on some unique traces—traces that only she could find.
"I didn't expect this either," Ziyue sneered, "Your Lu Family was wiped out seven thousand years ago, not a single descendant survived. It's truly remarkable that someone like you, with no descendants to offer sacrifices, could survive at the gates of the East Sea Dragon Palace without being eliminated."
Mentioning the annihilation of his clan, a sinister glint flashed in the eyes of the Dragon Transformation ancient sorcerer as he looked at Ziyue: "Did you do it?"
"I didn't initiate it, but I did participate," Ziyue shrugged. "Don't give me that look. Back when your Lu Family lost power, you had so many enemies. If I hadn't participated, there wouldn't be any survivors. Given what you did to me, it's not wrong for me to vent my anger on your descendants, is it?"
The other person gave him a deep look and said in a low voice, "So, you came to find me specifically for revenge?"
What he feared most was the woman beside Ziyue; her aura Dragon King Breed made him dare not resist in the slightest, let alone now that he was seriously injured.
Xiao Mingyue was somewhat relieved to be able to cooperate with Ziyue. Otherwise, with no clues and only six hours left, she probably wouldn't have chosen to take action and might have even returned directly to the South Sea.
"You came here specifically to seek revenge? You've got quite the nerve." Ziyue scoffed. "Of course I came here to find an opportunity. Finding you was an accident. After all, I never expected that while all the other ancient sorcerers with family backgrounds were dead, you actually survived!"
Upon hearing this, the man surnamed Lu sneered, " The Chen Household went too far this time; they will surely face retribution."
"You still believe in karma?" Ziyue rolled her eyes. "Alright, time's running out. Tell me what you know, and I'll spare your life!"
"Are you sure you don't want to kill me?" the other person asked nervously.
"I promise!" This time it was Xiao Mingyue who spoke. Seeing that the big shot behind him had spoken, the man surnamed Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
" The Yaksha set a trap for us to participate in Dragon Transformation, and even offered to find us a place to Dragon Transformation. Although it felt like a scam, the ironclad rule of the dragon race is that any species that successfully Dragon Transformation is treated as family. In this respect, the East Sea Dragon Palace, which values blood ties the most, is obviously trustworthy."
"So at first, we roughly knew that the other side might take our blood essence, but we still decided to give it a try. After all, as long as the Dragon Palace overcomes the crisis, they will naturally not forget us. They value bloodlines and will definitely find enough blood essence to replenish us."
"Thinking about it this way, most of the ancient sorcerers chose to compromise, but they didn't expect the Chen Household to have a backup plan. As you know, the Chen Household is mainly a family of physicians. Those in the family who cannot become sorcerers are trained as doctors. They don't occupy the court or the Dragon Palace's most important projects such as formations and natural engineering. They are harmless and belong to a large but relatively low-profile family. No one expected that their family would secretly train so many skilled craftsmen to infiltrate the Dragon Palace. They are truly audacious!"
"So, they succeeded?" Ziyue sneered. She remembered the Chen Household. The medical experiments were mainly led by the Chen Household family, and she herself was the one led by the Chen Household. She had always felt that this family was not simple, but she did not expect that they would take a different approach and focus on infiltrating the Dragon Palace's fortifications. They really had ideas.
This is indeed easy to catch off guard.
And the result?
"As a result, the moment most of the ancient sorcerers were weakened and their Blood Essence Stone were extracted, those guys launched their attack. They controlled those few Yaksha and began slaughtering our compatriots who were weakened and had lost their blood essence, showing no mercy whatsoever. Even the Bai Family and the Huo Family, families that had served in the same court in the Great Jin and had intermarried for dozens of generations, were not spared!"
"Oh, that's ruthless enough." Ziyue wasn't surprised at all. How benign could a family that could dominate Warlock Dynasty and produce biological weapons be?
"Didn't any of them manage to successfully resist?"
"How can we resist? There are some who are cunning and have backup plans, but the power gap is too great. The Chen Household is ambitious and lucky. Their Dragon Transformation results are the best among aristocratic families, with four high-level dragon species and one Dragon King Breed. It is said that he is a newcomer who is brave and courageous. Despite the extremely low success rate, he resolutely chose the Dragon King Breed and succeeded. Under such circumstances, with our blood essence taken away, how can we resist?"
" The East Sea Dragon King Breed?" Xiao Mingyue narrowed her eyes, becoming serious. "The new junior, Chen Baifeng?"
"Yes, that seems to be the name!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mingyue turned around and exchanged glances with Ziyue and Shen Laowu.
The Dragon King Breed is on the same level; in such a case, it seems that one's strength on paper is insufficient to forcibly seize it.
The reason is simple: they have thirteen Dragon Transformation species, and they also have Dragon King Breed like ours. Our strongest frontal force is only ourselves, a single Dragon Transformation species, and we don't have any secondary dragon species.
Of course, once the frozen dragon species in the South Sea are under the control of his Ancient Insect, the newly born dragon species of the Chen Household will definitely be no match for him. The key is that right now, they are far behind on paper!
What's the current situation?
"How would I know?" the other party quickly replied, "After the sudden incident, I took the opportunity to hide here using this dragon talent. How could I possibly dare to go out and gather intelligence?"
"So it's useless then?" Moon Eye turned cold.
"You bastard, you just promised me!"
"I agreed to this only if you had enough useful information. And this? It's not enough to buy your life!"
"You"
"I know you're still hiding something. I'll count to three, and if you want to die, keep hiding for three more days!"
"Wait, wait!!!" The sudden count to three startled Old Man Lu so much that he stood on his feet. He had no doubt that Ziyue would make a move; this girl was probably just looking for an excuse to kill him, right?
"Although I don't know the intelligence, I'm certain that the Chen Household is meticulous and reliable. With only five hours left before the Dragon Palace Grand Formation is activated, they will definitely retreat temporarily, taking the safest approach."
"Temporary retreat?"
"That's for sure. The Chen Household family's motto is to prioritize the continuation of the family line." Old Man Lu nodded and said, "Although I don't know how such a conservative family could devise such a risky infiltration plan, that's certainly their usual style."
"Retreat? If that's the case," Xiao Mingyue narrowed her eyes. This was indeed an opportunity. Although time was limited, they could still search. If they could find the Dragon King before Dragon King awoke, it would make up for the shortcomings in the South Sea.
What the South Sea needs most right now is Dragon King. That fool, Prince Consort Fei, just to be on the safe side, used the Red Lotus Karmic Fire to burn the South Sea Dragon King to death right away!
At that time, I was still in a weakened state, lurking inside the opponent's body and unable to make a move. Now, if I can control the East Sea Dragon King with the Ancient Insect, then even giving up the West Sea would be worthwhile!
Just as she was thinking this, a sudden pressure from a dragon came from afar, causing Xiao Mingyue to immediately suppress her aura and look in that direction with a solemn expression.
What's going on?
This dragon's might was powerful, yet it carried an underlying sense of weakness. Although she wasn't a member of the Dragon King Breed, Xiao Mingyue immediately sensed the Dragon King's pressure!
Why is this happening?
The four people, including the old man surnamed Lu, looked on incredulously. At this time, the great formation was not activated, and the Dragon King could not be revived. Shouldn't they have kept a low profile?
At this point, is the intention to lure the Chen Household there?
Is it that the East Sea Dragon Palace doesn't want to let the Chen Household go?
Xiao Mingyue's eyes were filled with doubt, but Ziyue said directly, "It's possible that something happened to the Dragon King."
"Something went wrong?" Xiao Mingyue frowned.
"The cause of this strange phenomenon might not be the Dragon Palace. It could be that guy Liu Yu, or it could be that guy Gu Ying. It's either of them. They don't want the Chen Household to leave!"
Xiao Mingyue: "."
"So, Your Highness," Ziyue said with a smile, looking at the other person, "This must be a trap. Shall we follow?"
