This guy actually chose to come out at this time.
Kagura noticed Chen Qing immediately because she had seen Chen Qing in that position early on. There were many reasons why she didn't attack him directly. Chen Qing's West Sea Army had already arrived. If she killed Chen Qing, the West Sea Army's hatred would fall on her, which would be detrimental to the situation later.
Chen Qing definitely has a backup plan, so she doesn't want to test it and give others the chance to take advantage of her, but she also doesn't want the other party to show up at this time.
At this moment, the West Sea Army had essentially helped her by blocking the Ancient Demon's chief guard here. However, that was because Chen Qing wasn't there. If Chen Qing were there, she had no idea what the West Sea Army would do now, which was the last thing she wanted to see.
And what exactly is the connection between that golem called ' Bai Hua ' and Chen Qing?
The head guard also noticed Chen Qing, his brows furrowed. Kagura had clearly come prepared, and it was questionable whether he could escape unscathed if he wanted to capture him. If Chen Qing intervened at this moment, he would be in even more trouble, and the key was Ziyue!
He still isn't sure whether the body in Ziyue's body belongs to his daughter or that Reincarnator.
If it's the latter, Chen Qing has a strong motive to take action against him, because once he dies, all the forces of the Ancient Demon Clan will be taken over by Ziyue!
All three forces were keeping a close eye on Chen Qing, but a surprising scene unfolded: after leaving, Chen Qing showed no intention of coming here at all, but instead flew straight towards the Vermilion Bird Palace.
Only one white-robed sorcerer remained to go to the West Sea Army.
"Mr. Shen Qi, what about the Lord?"
The deputy general was the first to step forward, confused as to why their lord hadn't come immediately. The West Sea Army was leaderless, and General Tian Heng's fate was unknown; they desperately needed someone to take charge and stabilize morale. Why had their Elder Hou gone off to the other side? What did that mean?
"My lord has more important matters to attend to; we must rescue General Tian Heng as soon as possible."
Shen Qi's first words upon arriving warmed the hearts of all the West Sea Army.
The West Sea Army was actually quite uneasy, because they had almost obeyed orders from above and rebelled against Jiangnan.
Although their commander Tian Heng later defected, the West Sea Army still felt somewhat uneasy when they met Chen Qing. Whether Chen Qing would continue to rely on the West Sea Army was a question in everyone's mind. They were all Tian Heng's people and had enjoyed the best resources in Jiangnan. They knew very well that without Chen Qing's strong support, they would never have achieved what they had today.
Once Chen Qing stopped treating them well, everyone knew that things would not be easy from then on. At this time, Chen Qing's absence made most of the soldiers and generals worried, wondering if their lord no longer trusted them.
But Shen Qi's words at that moment put their minds at ease, and they were even filled with endless gratitude.
Our lord has just lost his mind, and his first thought is to rescue Marshal Tian. We are being too petty.
Shen Qi took in everyone's expressions and sighed inwardly. He was speaking on behalf of Chen Qing, but he didn't really understand why Chen Qing hadn't come to lead the West Sea Army in the first place, and even abandoned him.
Yes, it's just thrown away.
When he led him away from that core fragment, he only said one sentence, "There is something very dangerous over there. Don't follow me. I can't guarantee your safety either. If I don't come back, you immediately take the West Sea Army and these brats back to Jiangnan." With that, he handed him the space fragment containing the little guys from the Jiangnan Academy.
This made Shen Qi very uneasy.
He had never seen Chen Qing so guilty before.
He had never done anything like this before, whether facing the Ancient Insect or entering the Dragon Palace. It felt like he was making his final arrangements.
Is that monster called Bai Hua really that terrifying?
He didn't understand why Chen Qing left without revealing a single word.
However, they still followed Chen Qing's orders and came here to reassure the troops and await news from Chen Qing.
He glanced at the captain of the guards in the distance and sighed softly.
This is actually a good opportunity. By joining forces with Kagura and killing the last high-ranking member of the Ancient Demon Clan, Ziyue can then lead the Ancient Demon. Even if Ziyue becomes powerful and no longer wants to serve under Chen Qing, she can establish her own power base. They will still be worthy allies to cooperate with, which is also very meaningful for Jiangnan's future survival in this chaotic world.
Hopefully, we can still make it in time.
"They came after all."
In the World in the Painting, the emperor saw Chen Qing rushing towards him, and a smile flashed across his face.
"Why are you so sure he will come?" the King of Qin asked, frowning.
"Because he cares about the people around him," the emperor said with a smile. "Do you know why I didn't trust you back then?"
What are you trying to say?
"I want to say that no matter how much you seemed to care about those around you back then, your true nature cannot be lied about." The emperor looked at the other person seriously. "I was valued by you when I was still a child. You were the person I admired most. I learned many things from you, and naturally I also learned your coldness."
"I'm heartless?" The King of Qin sneered. "Have I ever wronged you and your brother?"
"No." The emperor shook his head. "So I feel guilty towards you, but I know that one day you will get rid of my brother and me. For you, anyone can be abandoned. No matter how enthusiastic you appear, your heart is cold. Chen Qing is different. No matter how pragmatic he appears, his heart is warm."
"What makes you think that?" King of Qin frowned.
He had been living under Chen Qing's protection for a long time, so he naturally knew Chen Qing's true character. But how many times had the emperor actually met Chen Qing?
"Sometimes you don't need a long time to judge a person, nor do you need them to do much to prove themselves. You don't understand this, which is why you don't have a single close friend."
"You have it?" The King of Qin laughed in anger. How dare this man, who could scheme against and kill even his own wife, discuss morality and character with him?
"I never said I was a good person."
"So what if he comes?" King of Qin coldly looked at the approaching Chen Qing: "Do you think he can turn the tide?"
"Your abilities are indeed terrifying; I still can't think of any way to break this stalemate you've created."
Do you think Chen Qing is capable?
"That's what you think," the emperor laughed. "It seems you didn't even notice your expression when you saw Chen Qing."
You're worried.
King of Qin: "."
Indeed, he was worried. If anyone in this world could decipher the Bai Hua, then its founder Pu Yunchuan, was undoubtedly one of them, and Chen Qing was the most important figure in Pu Yunchuan's plan!
Damn it, I really don't know why I'm working so hard?
As Chen Qing watched the Four Saints Army draw ever closer, he felt an urge to slap himself.
Is it really necessary to take this risk?
Actually, he had this question a long time ago.
At first, all I wanted was to survive, and with my current abilities, I could have easily done that. Was it really necessary to get involved in this mess?
He knew very well how troublesome Bai Hua was, because he had a unique way of creating monsters: he would create them first and then design their weaknesses based on logic. Unfortunately, Bai Hua was one of the monsters for which he hadn't designed any weaknesses yet!
Doesn't that King of Qin know how dangerous this thing is?
No. He probably really doesn't know that this thing is impossible to control.
If we're not careful today, everyone here will become background scenery for the start of version four.
If I remember correctly, this thing isn't a simple game NPC at all; this guy is...
