How did he find this place?
When Snake Mother first saw Chen Qing, she was completely taken aback. She had considered that something might be hidden in Jiangnan, but she never expected that Chen Qing would find this place.
From the very beginning, she never considered these players, who were still stuck in the first version, as real opponents.
The King Xiang Project, involving the Mother and Child Ghosts Temple, began in the previous Samsara and targets those top-tier forces that were once able to rival them.
The second version marks the beginning of antiquity, a crucial point of contention for many forces in this Samsara struggle. Countless forces have already begun their preparations countless years ago, and she is no exception.
When they first descended upon the Snake Mother, according to the previous script, they seduced the Dragon King to obtain the Dragon Transformation form, and then seduced the human emperor to take down King Xiang. A hundred years ago, the human dynasty was in its final days, and the ancient beings who were supposed to descend were forcibly stopped by a group of players organized by the King of Qin.
Many ancient plans were disrupted, but not hers. On the contrary, she had more time and opportunities to come into contact with the new dynasty's emperor.
It can be said that among the many forces today, her branch has developed the most smoothly.
Since things are progressing so smoothly, other forces will inevitably be envious. So she wouldn't be surprised if anyone from any side tried to disrupt her plans, but she hadn't expected Chen Qing to be the only one she didn't expect.
"It's been a long time, Your Majesty!" Chen Qing greeted the approaching Snake Mother with a bow.
The thin, white-robed scholar stood in the endless black liquid, and like Ao Zhen, he kept everything in the black liquid at bay!
"So it's His Highness the King of Qin," the Snake Mother said, looking at Chen Qing. "How did you find this place?"
"Just a guess, and a bit of luck," Chen Qing said with a smile.
The Mother and Child Ghosts Temple, something that shouldn't be in the game, has appeared. Could it be that the company secretly uploaded some patches behind my back?
That shouldn't be the case.
Both sides have their suspicions, and both sides want to test each other!
"Your Highness, the Prince of King of Qin, has quite the deep mind. The Jiangnan forces nearly crumbled because of your absence, and even your fiancée almost ended up with someone else. Your loyal subordinates, for your sake, risked everything to impersonate you and try to reclaim the princess. Yesterday, they were driven to the brink and attacked my temples, only to be utterly killed!"
"But you remained completely calm; that's quite the composure!"
Chen Qing looked at the other person; this guy was speaking quite loudly, clearly not just to her alone.
"You flatter me," Chen Qing replied with a smile. "How can I compare to you, senior? Your own daughter, dismembered for your men to enjoy; your own son, full of vigor, was secretly helped by outsiders to die such a miserable death. When it comes to using your subordinates, I can't even begin to compare!"
Snake Mother: "."
This guy really does know everything!
Chen Qing didn't say this only to the Snake Mother!
The next instant, the black liquid that had been surrounding Chen Qing inexplicably retreated considerably, and it stopped boiling as before.
This made the Snake Mother's face immediately darken!
As expected
Wang Ye, who was standing to the side, suddenly realized that Chen Qing had just said that these liquids were the spirits of the countless innocent boys and girls who had died unjustly. They could not fully appear in the mortal world for the time being, and could only use the special space in the Ghost Temple to permeate their power.
This space exists between Yin and Yang, a kind of medium. Many supernatural events that occur in the mortal realm originate from the power permeating this space, a power that has not yet been regulated.
If Chen Qing's guess is correct, those young children sacrificed at the Mother and Child Temple had already begun to be guided and nurtured in the underworld to become worshippers of King Xiang, and King Xiang's will was the key to controlling this space.
Chen Qing's words were meant for King Xiang's ears!
In the original script, the Second Tier of the story involved five factions. The invasion of the Ghost Domain was a very important part of the second version. In many regions, there was an ending where King Xiang eventually unified the human world and surpassed the Ten Kings, launching an attack on an even more ancient force.
Everything is uncertain. When Chen Qing was in that world, the game's public beta was only in its second version. Although the third and fourth versions were prepared in advance, no server had yet launched the originally planned versions due to the game's high difficulty.
As Heavenly Secrets once said, the previous King Xiang was murdered through a scheme, and the mastermind behind it is most likely the one right in front of us!
King Xiang could have had a better ending, but now he can only be manipulated by the woman in front of him. Based on the personality of King Xiang in the design template, she knows that he will definitely react if she stimulates him.
"Temporary subjugation is for the sake of the future!" The Snake Mother suppressed the gloom in her heart and tried her best to keep her voice calm.
"The future?" Chen Qing laughed. "What future can someone who has no right to know the truth possibly have?"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding black liquid seemed to boil!
"You're asking for death!" At this moment, the Snake Mother was truly enraged.
Her entire body transformed into a black gust of wind, forcefully isolating the liquids on both sides, leaving only a space between her and Chen Qing. Then, in the next instant, the woman, wielding a sword in one hand, moved with ghostly speed through the darkness, launching a swift attack!
The speed was unbelievable; Chen Qing immediately recognized it as the Divine Wind Technique!
That makes sense, though; this woman possesses the bloodline of a true Dragon King Breed from the West Sea, so it's only natural that she knows the Divine Wind Technique.
This opponent is faster than me, that was Chen Qing's immediate feeling. His opponent's Divine Wind is more proficient than mine, and his swordsmanship is also better.
Almost instantly, he knew he had no chance of winning.
But that's not important; what's important is that she made a move!
Bang!!
The distorted space shattered with a deafening roar, and an even faster wind-shadow blade emerged from the shattering chaos, covered in half a body of blood, blocking the Snake Mother's sword and catching it with its bare hands!
The Snake Mother was startled and looked at the approaching figure with some surprise. She could naturally guess who possessed such power in this world, but she did not expect that Ao Zhen could break through to this place so quickly!
" Ao Zhen's secret technique, 'Startling Dust,' has the ability to shatter space. It's her trump card, originally prepared as a defense against facing Dragon King Level opponent. She could have used this technique to break your Ghost Mirror Technique a long time ago, but your Ghost Mirror Technique is layered, so breaking one side is useless. If she doesn't guess the right spot and rashly uses her killing move, she won't have any strength left to deal with you, because she knows you are someone whose combat power is no less than hers."
Snake Mother: "."
" King Xiang with a proud spirit and was most unwilling to be subordinate to anyone. If you forcibly take charge for him, theoretically he will not serve you, even if you are his biological mother. I don't know what methods you used to keep such a fierce King Xiang under your control, so I tried to provoke him a little, and hey, there was indeed a reaction."
"And then?" The Snake Mother sneered at Ao Zhen, who had seized her weapon. "You provoked me this way, allowing Ao Zhen to pinpoint my location and use a secret technique to shatter the void and arrive here. So what?"
She looked at Ao Zhen, Ao Zhen was clearly at her physical limit, grabbing her sword with her bare hands, looking like she was at her last gasp.
"My sword is a bone sword, connected to my flesh and blood. It is a divine power of the Heavenly Python's spine. Not only is it extremely sharp, but it also contains deadly poison. Don't you have this information? How dare you let Ao Zhen handle the sword with his bare hands?"
"Oh right, you probably didn't have time to share this detail, did you?" The Snake Mother sneered repeatedly, the short sword in her hand emitting a chilling black aura, Ao Zhen's face visibly turned blackish-purple!
She had witnessed Chen Qing's battles; in terms of attributes, he was on par with Ao Zhen, but their actual combat strength was far inferior. If Ao Zhen were to lose her fighting ability now, she was fully confident she could keep everyone here.
"It was because she knew your bone sword was connected to your flesh and blood that she was allowed to grab it." Chen Qing stretched out his hand, and a gust of wind descended from the sky, forming a short sword with a dazzling blue color.
The Snake Mother was taken aback, then sneered. He thinks he can win just because Ao Zhen has him under control?
So what if I give way with my right hand? It'll still break the technique that this half-baked scholar showed earlier... huh?
Suddenly, her confidence vanished.
Because she sensed an extremely terrifying explosive power contained within Chen Qing.
"Sorry," Chen Qing said with a smile, "I also know Ao Zhen's secret technique!"
