CHAPTER 380: CHAPTER 372: THE SITUATION OF THE FOUR POWERS (PART 1)

At the moment Chen Qing released the turtle, Ah Bao disappeared!

Weichi Feihong couldn’t even see how Ah Bao vanished before she already appeared in the hands of the Yaksha opposite him.

Instantly, Weichi’s face darkened!

He knew there was a huge gap between himself and these two monsters, but he hadn’t realized it was so large that he couldn’t even see their movements. It was like an ant facing a giant, at least it should be able to see how it was getting crushed before dying, right?

What drove him to despair even more was that Chen Qing, with that act, had seemingly thrown away all his life-saving trump cards!

At this moment, both Yakshas looked at Chen Qing with a sinister laugh. Did this guy really dare to release that Mystical Tortoise, truly thinking that they would hesitate to test him for fear of damaging the artifact?

What a joke! You, a member of the Human Race, might have shocking words, but the purity of the energy in your body is visible right there, no different from that of an ant. What makes you think you can bluff us?

However, Ao Xin frowned tightly within the iceberg. That Chen Qing’s expression... was too calm, giving him a bad premonition!

Clang...

Indeed, the next second the bad premonition came true!

All they saw was Chen Qing snapping his fingers lightly, and a very eerie scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes...

The Mystical Tortoise, which had just been taken away, reappeared in Chen Qing’s hands!

This scene made the Yaksha abruptly turn to look at the hand that had just captured Ah Bao. Now it was completely empty, leaving it utterly dumbfounded. How had the other party done it?

And at this moment, there was a faint mist surrounding Chen Qing...

"So that’s how it is..." Ao Xin looked at Chen Qing: "The core of the Nine Heavens Mirror Valley is in your hands, what exactly is your relationship with that woman?"

That woman?

Chen Qing frowned, puzzled. He guessed that the person Ao Xin was referring to was the woman Elder Shen had mentioned before, but Chen Qing truly had no idea who she was...

"No comment!"

"Your Highness!" The two Yakshas looked at Chen Qing with suspicion.

"There isn’t much energy left in the Nine Heavens Mirror Valley, is there?" Ao Xin said with a smile. "How many more times can you use this Mitian Huisu Spell?"

"How many times I can use it isn’t important..." Chen Qing said indifferently. "As long as I can trap Your Highness temporarily, you should think carefully. Now, in this situation, in at most half a day, you might not be able to leave this place!"

"Excellent, how thrilling!" Ao Xin nodded. "I don’t know how you came to know so many secrets, nor do I understand how a human who hasn’t achieved transcendence possesses such ambition, but since you’ve made it this far, I concede!"

The Nine Heavens Mirror Valley, one of the top time-space arrays of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace. It was stolen by that woman years ago. While sealing the Ancient Worm, it also caused the Dragon Palace to awaken a thousand years late!

Now that this youngster could control the core, there really was no way he could continue to act against him.

At this time, the other party indeed had the ability to cause mutual destruction!

"Half is impossible..." Ao Xin said seriously. "One-quarter, that’s the limit. Don’t be too greedy. One-quarter is also the resource for restarting a Sea Dragon Palace. Any more, and even if I return to the West Sea alive, it will be difficult to explain!"

"Agreed!"

Chen Qing didn’t continue to haggle. Asking the sky and paying the ground, the other party offering half could be considered normal; one-quarter of Bai Yu, if managed well, would be enough to elevate Jiangnan to a Second-level Divine Nation level. It could reluctantly meet the goals of this trip!

"Ying Yi, you are responsible for commanding the Flood Dragons to transport these Yun Shells out of the Dragon Palace. Within three hours, deliver those Yun Shells to the location designated by the master!"

"Yes!" The Yaksha dared not disobey, because it too could see that this human could indeed threaten His Highness!

"So Master, may we leave now?"

"Of course!" Chen Qing nodded and smiled. "Please expedite, Your Highness. After all... given the delay just now, that monster has probably grown quite a bit again..."

"If that’s the case, sir, please let go of Ah Bao so it can perform Divination to determine which path we should take to be safer..."

Chen Qing released the Mystical Tortoise without hesitation, allowing Ao Xin to further confirm that Chen Qing now... The Nine Heavens Mirror must still hold some energy, and he couldn’t help but start calculating.

Weichi Feihong, standing to the side, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but the anxiety in his heart did not diminish.

Chen Qing’s plan was being carried out step by step. For now, he had achieved his goal through threats, but what about afterwards?

The West Sea Dragon Palace would probably lock onto Chen Qing in the future. Jiangnan... could it withstand the retaliation of such an ancient force?

Not to mention, the key issue now was that Chen Qing couldn’t retreat. How would he manage to go their separate ways afterwards? Surely he wouldn’t follow them to the West Sea Dragon Palace?

If he went there... could he even survive?

-------------------------------------------

Elsewhere, as the Myriad Flood Dragons Array stirred, all the major Dragon Palaces began to exert a terrifying pressure. Clearly, the old monsters that had been dormant for countless years were finally waking up!

Compared to the Celestial Dragon Palace, a power temporarily formed by the Four Seas, the Four Seas Dragon Palaces, as the foundation of all the major forces, have sealed the most Dragon King Breed. The first monsters to revive were far more numerous than those on the Celestial Dragon Palace’s side!

At this time, several forces undergoing Dragon Transformation were immediately targeted!

Eastern Sea Dragon Palace...

Chen Baifeng stood in front, vigilantly watching the outside.

Their location was almost instantly sealed off, countless Blood Guards tightly surrounding them. Their blood-red eyes stared at the group of intruders, but they did not initiate an attack immediately.

"Elder Chen, these are..."

"Blood Guards!" Chen Baifeng said with a cold laugh: "Ancient Blood Sorcerers, the true lapdogs of the Dragon Palace. In that era, when the Japan was under the control of the Dragon Palace, these Blood Sorcerers were all high-status High Priests!"

"So many years have passed... Yet, some still remember us."

The leading Blood Guard spoke with a hoarse voice. Despite the smiling expression on his face, he exuded an incomparably cold feeling!

After countless years, the ambition of the Human Race has truly grown bigger, daring to invade here proactively. Such audacity was truly astounding.

"What are they waiting for?" Pang Xingyun asked with a frown.

"They’re waiting for the outcome of the Dragon Transformation..." Chen Baifeng said coldly as he watched the outside: "Lackeys always need to assess the situation before they act. If our people succeed in the Dragon Transformation, then that would be their master. Of course, they don’t dare to act now!"

"Such arrogant younger generations..." said the leading Blood Guard with an aged voice filled with mockery: "Do you really think the Dragon King Breed is so easily successful? I have lived for so long and have seen countless outsiders trying to reach the skies in one step, but not one of them has succeeded in my eyes!"

"Then why don’t you act?" Chen Baifeng sneered: "Isn’t it because, even if there’s just a slim chance, you old ghosts who cherish your lives wouldn’t dare to gamble on it?"

All of the Blood Guards’ faces turned icily cold. The arrogant words of the Magician were indeed unpleasant to hear, but they hit right at their weakness.

For the sake of this longevity, what had they not given up?

Faithfully serving as the blood slaves of the Dragon Palace, wasn’t it all just to avoid being devoured by the Evil Ghosts on the Path of Yin and Yang after a wretched death?

Over the years, including the great cataclysm, they had abandoned even their descendants, leaving them to die in wails without daring to delay the Dragon Palace’s mission, all for the sake of... living, wasn’t it?

Now so many years had passed, the terrifying cataclysm of the past, their own offspring might have long ceased to exist.

The glory of the kingdom was gone, bloodline descendants were gone, the family was gone, everything was gone. The only thing left... was their life!

As long as this life remained, there was still a chance for everything to start anew.

The kingdom could be rebuilt. As long as the Dragon Palace prospered again, they could still become the glorified High Priests of a nation.

If the bloodline was gone, they could take new wives; for concubines and beauties, as long as they were alive, how many could they have with their power?

As long as they lived... everything from the past could come back. But if life ended... then truly everything would be lost...

So what Chen Baifeng said was right, they didn’t dare to gamble, even if there was just a minuscule chance, they wouldn’t dare!
