Chapter 14330 Heading to the Cloud and Mist Kingdom
Ling Xiao gritted his teeth: "Even if the hope is slim, we should still try our best."
After all, this concerns the very survival of the entire Overlord Empire.
We cannot sit idly by and wait for our demise; we must take the initiative and seek every possible opportunity to save the empire from its perilous state.
Upon hearing Ling Xiao's words, the abbot of Xuantian Temple hesitated, his lips moving slightly as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end he swallowed them back.
He hesitated for a moment, then finally said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty is unaware that the situation in the Cloud Mist Kingdom is complex and far more complicated than it appears on the surface."
The various forces there are intertwined, like a complex web that is difficult to unravel.
This is especially true of the 'Blazing Fire Sect'.
This sect is extremely ruthless and will stop at nothing to achieve its goals. Its members are arrogant and domineering, like mad dogs, running rampant in the Cloud Mist Kingdom and turning the entire country into chaos.
In such an environment, forming an alliance is probably no easy task.
They may not be willing to join forces with us against the Temple of Annihilation, and may even take advantage of our misfortune to plunder.
Ling Xiao remained silent for a moment, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, as if he were weighing the pros and cons.
Then, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, like lightning in the cold night, sending chills down one's spine.
"You have to try to know whether you'll succeed or fail."
His voice was firm and resolute, without the slightest hesitation or retreat.
"I have to go this time no matter what."
Even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire ahead, I will never back down.
For the future of the Hegemon Empire, for the safety of hundreds of millions of people, I am willing to take this gamble.
After saying that, he looked firmly into the distance, as if he was ready to face any challenge.
"Your Majesty, please be careful."
The sect leader of Xuantian Temple looked solemn, his eyes filled with worry and concern, as if Ling Xiao was venturing into a dragon's den or a tiger's lair.
As he spoke, he slowly took out a warm, smooth jade slip from his sleeve, held it in both hands, and carefully presented it to Ling Xiao.
"This is a map of the power distribution in the Cloud Mist Kingdom that I have painstakingly compiled. It details the territories of the major powers, the distribution of their experts, and the relationships between them."
Perhaps this will be helpful to His Majesty's trip.
The Blazing Fire Sect is no benevolent group; they are ruthless and cunning.
Within the sect, there are also several reclusive patriarchs who live in seclusion in the sect's forbidden area year-round, devoting themselves to cultivation, and their cultivation levels are unfathomable.
It is said that they have already touched the threshold of that legendary supreme realm, and once they make their move, they will surely unleash a bloodbath.
Ling Xiao's lips curled up slightly, and he chuckled softly. His smile carried a hint of unruliness and nonchalance, as if he didn't care about the upcoming challenge at all.
"Don't worry, I'm going to discuss cooperation and seek opportunities to jointly confront powerful enemies, not to provoke trouble."
As long as they don't provoke me, I naturally won't cause trouble.
We're all sensible people; in these turbulent times, it's better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
As he spoke, he took the jade slip and put it into his pocket.
Ni Shuanghan, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up. Her voice was clear and melodious, yet it carried a hint of concern, like a clear spring flowing in the mountains.
"Should I accompany you?"
More people means more support.
The situation in the Cloud Mist Kingdom is complex, with various forces intertwined and undercurrents surging. I am truly worried about Your Majesty going there alone.
She slightly raised her head, her eyes full of anticipation, her eyelashes fluttering gently like butterfly wings.
Her lips were slightly pursed, as if she was worried that Ling Xiao would refuse her request.
Ling Xiao was slightly taken aback, then looked at Ni Shuanghan with gentle eyes, a warm feeling welling up in his heart.
He was about to refuse, but seeing Ni Shuanghan's determined gaze, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Ni Shuanghan's eyelashes trembled slightly. Seeing Ling Xiao hesitate, she pursed her lips even tighter, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her resolve.
In the end, he had no choice but to lower his head, which could be considered as tacit approval of whatever decision Ling Xiao might make.
Seeing this, Ling Xiao smiled slightly and said:
"In that case, let's go together."
With you by my side, I feel more confident.
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Ni Shuanghan's eyes. She raised her head and revealed a bright smile.
Ling Xiao flicked his sleeves and muttered incantations; instantly, a mysterious power spread out.
As if sensing the summons, the three azure dragons sped towards them from the distant void.
A deafening dragon roar resounded throughout the starry sky, its sound like a great bell, causing the surrounding air to tremble violently.
A three-headed green snake, hundreds of feet long, burst through the air. Its body was enormous, like a moving mountain.
The scales gleamed under the starlight, exuding a cold and mysterious aura.
The dragon's eyes were like torches, as if they could see through all the truths of the world. Its whiskers fluttered, creating ripples in space, and wherever it passed, space seemed to be torn apart.
This dragon was extremely fast, even surpassing the void warships he had previously ridden, and could traverse tens of thousands of miles in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, the majesty it exudes is enough to awe the heavens and make those with ill intentions tremble in fear, making it the best mount to demonstrate the majesty of the heavens.
Although in this world, real dragons have long since become extinct and have become legendary creatures.
However, this three-headed green snake, which contains the bloodline of the Azure Dragon, already looks very much like the Azure Dragon. Its majestic appearance is quite awe-inspiring.
It hovered above Ling Xiao and the others, emitting low roars, as if proclaiming its power and inviolability to the world.
Ling Xiao flashed forward and leaped onto the dragon's back first, then reached out and pulled Ni Shuanghan up as well.
The three sat steadily on the dragon's back. The three-headed azure dragon let out a long roar and transformed into a streak of light, speeding towards the Cloud Mist Kingdom.
On the dragon's spine, Lingxiao stood tall and straight like an ancient pine tree, facing the wind.
A strong wind howled past, blowing his black hair wildly, like black silk dancing in the wind;
The sleeves of his robe billowed in the wind, fluttering and rustling like a flag waving in the wind.
Ni Shuanghan stood quietly beside him, like an ice lotus blooming on the summit of a snow-capped mountain.
She was dressed in a simple white dress, as pure as snow, without a single impurity, which emitted a faint halo under the starlight.
Her dark hair was loosely tied up with a warm jade hairpin, and a few strands of hair fell on both sides of her cheeks, adding to her cool and gentle beauty.
She was as aloof as a celestial maiden descended from heaven, untouched by worldly concerns, making her someone one could only admire from afar and dare not profane.
The three-headed Azure Dragon is agile and swift, like a dragon traversing the sea of stars.
Its enormous body moved nimbly among the stars, and wherever it passed, the surrounding starlight seemed to sense its majesty, and all gave way to it, forming a bright and mysterious passage.
The starlight shone on the Azure Dragon's scales, reflecting a dazzling array of colors, a breathtakingly beautiful sight. (End of Chapter)
