"Good soldier!"
Amidst the chaotic turbulence, few could remain in the mood to watch the spectacle. Even the sorcerers from the South Sea aristocratic families, possessing Dragon Transformation bodies, had to pay close attention to their surroundings to avoid being swept up in the turbulence. The only ones who could watch the show in peace, besides Kagura, were the emperor, who remained silent throughout.
But at this moment, he surprisingly offered a word of praise.
Amidst the turbulent currents and complex environment, and with the pursuit of the Four Saints Guard, nearly a third of the Jiangnan soldiers perished in each spatial fragment. Yet, despite this, almost no one broke down. Upon hearing Tian Heng's command, they all exerted all their strength to converge towards the command center.
He himself rose to power through military command, and he knew very well what it meant for an army to survive with a third of its soldiers dead.
Normally, an army would have collapsed long ago if one-tenth of its men were killed. But now, despite being pursued from behind, they were still able to obey orders and assemble. It has to be said that their willpower is absolutely among the best in the world.
I never realized Tian Heng was such a capable commander. It's a shame that such a talent is with Lu Ming.
On the other side, Tian Heng had been desperately searching for Chen Qing's location ever since the space began to close.
He knew very well that since his lord had used this power, he would be powerless to fight in the coming period. He was not a clueless novice; he knew very well what kind of backlash would result from forcibly using power exceeding the King Level. His lord had forcibly used this trump card to help them break through the encirclement, blasting away the old man who controlled space, but he himself was probably in the most dangerous situation right now.
At Tong Pass, Xu Hu finally chose to trust him and entrusted him with the task of rescuing his lord. Tian Heng knew that this was the last bit of trust from Jiangnan.
If they can rescue their lord, they and the West Sea Army will regain their recognition, establish themselves firmly in Jiangnan, and become one of Chen Qing's confidants.
However, if he fails to save his lord, given his reputation for betrayal, Jiangnan will never accept him in the future, and most of the West Sea Army will likely abandon him, jeopardizing his position as the Sea God. Even more of his trusted followers may leave him.
The reason is simple: anyone who has tasted the benefits of Jiangnan's Power of Faith will not want to lose it. The reason why his trusted brothers were willing to risk their lives for him was because he could guarantee them a better future. But if he becomes an obstacle, those who truly value loyalty will not be absent, but they will be few and far between.
Saving Chen Qing is saving himself. He has already switched sides once, and even if he is accepted by the Ancient Demon again, they will be wary of him. He really has no other choice.
Holding his breath, Tian Heng tried his best to head towards the center of the turbulent current. He had his deputy general go to the soldiers' assembly point to stabilize the formation. He had to protect Chen Qing Chen Qing the others found him!
If I'm not mistaken, other factions are probably also vying for their leadership positions!
Tian Heng was right; at this moment, several forces were searching for Chen Qing's location.
The moment the old master was blasted away by Chen Qing, he ordered the hidden experts to track down Chen Qing. At the same time, Kagura also headed towards the center of the turbulent current.
Chen Qing has exposed both his strength and weaknesses; it would be unreasonable not to finish him off now.
In the turbulent currents, people are like butterflies in a storm, easily crushed to pieces if they are not careful. But Kagura like a fish in water. No matter how turbulent the waves are, she seems to be able to move around in them with ease. If a sorcerer were to see her skill, he would be amazed.
This turbulence was caused not only by the spatial distortion after the merger of spaces, but also by the reconstruction and chaos of the four elements. In such a chaotic situation, the basic elements twisted into a ball, and the resulting energy was extremely terrifying. Many people tried their best to stay away from those energy zones and do everything they could to stay away from the center.
When encountering elemental turbulence, he forcibly used his Dragon Transformation form to separate and break through, quickly moving away from that direction. He didn't even dare to manipulate the elements casually. Everyone knows how dangerous these twisted and chaotic elements are. To rashly control them is no different from playing with explosive materials in a laboratory.
But that woman was different. She was like a master of extreme sports. Amidst countless chaotic elements, she performed all sorts of exquisite maneuvers. Whenever she encountered turbulence, she could use the simplest elemental manipulation to calm the terrifying turbulence and turn the storm into still water.
The difficulty is equivalent to pushing things to extremes in a laboratory and always managing to stay just short of the explosion threshold!
The key issue was the area she passed through. The elemental turbulence calmed down for only two breaths before becoming even more dangerous, as if a terrible explosion could occur at any moment. This made many people afraid to even approach and only dare to watch from a distance, desperately trying to stay away from where she had passed.
Even from a distance, Chen Baifeng could only shake his head and keep his distance.
As expected, the Lord of the Northern Lands is extraordinary. His ability to manipulate elements is unbelievable and so exquisite that he dares not even imagine it. In fact, thinking about it, it makes sense. The other party is an ancient great figure who descended from another dimension. He has lived for many times longer than us mortals. In the endless years, he has had plenty of time to master his memories. It is reasonable that he has such incredible abilities.
However, I'm afraid I can't save Chen Qing.
Chen Baifeng harbored no ill will towards Chen Qing. If he could, he would even like to find Chen Qing as soon as possible, whether to protect him and gain a huge favor, or to hand him over to one of the forces in exchange for benefits, it would be a worthwhile endeavor.
Unfortunately, this time it seems I don't even have a ticket to enter.
Chen Qing, at the center of the turbulent current, probably wouldn't even have the ability to get close, let alone compete with a monster like Kagura in that environment.
Leaving Kagura aside, just a few breaths ago, he saw several figures in the shadows heading towards the center. Those figures were incredibly fast, and although their control over the elements was not as good as Kagura's, it was still far beyond his own. He didn't know where they came from or which faction they belonged to!
This left Chen Baifeng feeling somewhat dejected.
After three years of development in the South Sea, he originally thought that he and the South Sea forces were already among the top in the world, only slightly inferior to Chen Qing or His Majesty. Maintaining a top-three position and striving for second place was beyond doubt. But now it seems that he was somewhat narrow-minded.
Putting everything else aside, there are probably no fewer than twenty people who want to take Chen Qing away right now, and he doesn't dare to face any of these unknown people!
They're not even in the same league.
If I manage to survive this time, it seems I'll have to seriously consider which side to side to pledge allegiance to.
I'm probably overthinking things about independence.

Chen Baifeng understood, but Tian Heng was extremely anxious. He didn't know where so many experts had come from, but he figured most of them were from Cloud Capital, and they all seemed to be at least as skilled as Ao Zhen.
On his side, he was the only one capable of matching her.
In his anxiety, Tian Heng unleashed his full power, relying on his physical body to withstand the elemental turbulence. In no time, his body was covered in wounds, but he had no time to care about them. He knew very well that if anyone discovered Chen Qing before him, his master would likely be dead.
At the critical moment, disregarding the need to conserve his strength and the strain on his body, he went all out, relying on his senses to pounce towards the center.
Just as they were about to enter the turbulent current, a dark figure suddenly appeared, grabbed Tian Heng, and slammed him into an extremely chaotic elemental turbulence.
So fast was Tian Heng caught almost without any chance to react and was directly thrown into the massive turbulent storm.
The dark figure moved with incredible speed, startling even Kagura.
Who is that?
