#419 - Your Life (4000 words)

Inside the Dragon Palace.

Just as Dragon Lord Teng's handover was beginning, Ao Jin had already quietly slipped away.

Ao Jin arrived beside a pool within the Dragon Palace.

Ao Jin looked around, making sure there was no one nearby.

Chanting an incantation, Ao Jin summoned a flying sword, which plunged into the water.

After the flying sword entered the water, Ao Jin's divine sense focused on it.

The flying sword's vision became Ao Jin's vision.

Ao Jin used the unique residual sensation on the flying sword to search for that fish.

But in the end, Ao Jin only found the Black Gold Fish's corpse, its belly torn open and already devoured by others.

Besides that, Ao Jin could no longer sense anything else.

"What's going on?"

Ao Jin frowned, feeling a sense of unease.

He had placed a spell on that fish, so it shouldn't have been able to escape his senses.

But the truth was, the fish had suddenly vanished as if it had disappeared.

"I wonder what His Highness is doing here?"

Just as Ao Jin was diligently searching in the pool.

A woman's voice suddenly sounded beside Ao Jin.

Ao Jin turned his head and saw a woman in palace attire from the East Sea Dragon Palace walking towards him.

Looking at the smiling palace maid, Ao Jin's mind tensed, knowing that things might not go well for him.

"Greetings, Miss Xia Zhu.", Ao Jin bowed in salute.

The Dragon Queen had a total of ten maids, five of whom were in the Immortal Realm, and five in the Jade Purity Realm.

Ao Jin had naturally seen the portrait of Xia Zhu before him.

This Xia Zhu was one of the five Immortal Realm cultivators.

"Is His Highness looking at a certain fish in this pool?" Xia Zhu asked with a smile.

Ao Jin replied with a refined air, "I saw a fish swimming around in this lake, but it disappeared after a while. I became a little engrossed in searching for it."

"Is that so?" Xia Zhu nodded, then took out a fish from a human-seed bag that could store living things.

The moment he saw this fish, Ao Jin's eyes suddenly became serious, and his palms clenched tightly!

"I wonder if His Highness is looking for this fish," Xia Zhu said, as the fish continued to flick its tail in her hand.

Ao Jin's mind focused: "I don't know what you're talking about."

"You don't know? It doesn't matter. His Highness will understand soon enough."

As she spoke, a ghostly blue flame appeared in Xia Zhu's hand.

The flame rose, burning the fish to ashes.

Ao Jin's eyes narrowed as he stared intently at the woman.

But Ao Jin knew very well that he couldn't be impulsive, and he wasn't qualified to be impulsive.

The other party's realm was too high, not to mention that the Dragon Queen's ten maids all had the right to act first and report later.

For them to crush him would be as easy as crushing an ant.

On the highest coral mountain in the North Sea Dragon Palace.

When Dragon Sea heard the Dragon Queen say "two fish," his heart suddenly tightened.

The key to this plan lay in those two fish.

And most importantly, the number "two."

The North Sea was powerful, the leader of the Four Seas.

This strength came from the North Sea's Eternal Dragon Queen, who had always been in power, and had never acted recklessly. The North Sea had always been very stable, constantly developing forward.

This strength came from the North Sea Dragon Queen, a Transcendent Realm expert of ten thousand years, who was improving bit by bit every day. All the resources of the North Sea would serve her, and all her risks would be borne by the North Sea.

Not to mention that the North Sea Dragon Queen and the military and civilians were already of one mind. Among all the people in the North Sea, their emperor was this Dragon Queen, and there would be no second person.

When a dynasty became so powerful that no one dared to touch it, it would become even more prosperous, and the more prosperous the dynasty, the less people would dare to touch it.

But in this world, nothing was truly unbreakable.

All of the Four Seas, no matter who it was, had a fatal problem, and this fatal problem had to be solved by Dragon Lord Teng.

Therefore, Mount of Ending and the East Sea had made many contingency plans, deducing them over and over again, and finally formed such a plan.

As long as Dragon Lord Teng could be controlled, what if the Dragon Queen was strong?

For the Four Seas, unless the Four Sea Dragon Lords didn't want their territory and wanted to plunge the Four Seas into chaos, they would have to rely on Dragon Lord Teng.

And the key to controlling Dragon Lord Teng lay in those two fish!

If it was just one fish, Dragon Sea wouldn't have felt anything. If the Dragon Queen realized one fish, she wouldn't realize his entire plan.

But the Dragon Queen said two fish.

And the core plan of Mount of Ending and the East Sea was in those two fish.

The Dragon Queen looked at the man, who appeared calm on the surface but was actually flustered in his heart. Her voice spread out, so that everyone in Dragon Capital could hear clearly: "Little Blue, let him die understanding, and let the guests from all over the world hear how the East Sea Dragon Palace colluded with Mount of Ending."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Little Blue bowed and stepped forward, "This matter is thanks to that Lord Xu from the Wu Kingdom."

Little Blue's words were not only for the other party, but also for the millions of people in Dragon Capital and all the guests.

As Little Blue spoke, many people turned their gazes to the youngest chief official of the Wu Kingdom.

In Dragon Capital, the people all turned their heads, looking in the same direction, and listening to the voice coming from afar.

Little Blue continued, "Lord Xu discovered in Myriad Fish Lake that the Third Prince of the East Sea, Ao Jin, was fishing for a peculiar fish. We from Listening Seas Pavilion went to investigate.

At the time, the Third Prince of the East Sea said it was an Ink Gold Fish, and he was secretly using the literary charm of the White Deer Academy scholars to fish for it.

When Listening Seas Pavilion first investigated, it was indeed the case.

In Myriad Fish Lake, Listening Seas Pavilion did find that Ink Gold Fish.

That Ink Gold Fish did indeed have a high appetite for literary charm.

But the Third Prince of the East Sea seemed to underestimate us too much.

After Listening Seas Pavilion returned to report, His Majesty asked the servant and the Pavilion Master of Listening Seas Pavilion to go there personally, and finally discovered a fish.

This fish looks very similar to the Ink Gold Fish, but it is smaller in size and has sharp teeth. The most obvious feature is the inscription of yin and yang twin fish on its belly.

This fish is the Qiankun Fish."

Hearing the three words "Qiankun Fish."

Some people were still confused, but some people gasped.

"The so-called Qiankun Fish only exists in the Heaven and Earth Lake of Mount of Ending and the God and Demon Pool of the Western Regions. They are extremely rare. The main function of this fish is for inscription engraving.

Although I don't know what the plan of Mount of Ending and the East Sea Dragon Palace is.

But if there are no accidents, your general plan should be to use a Qiankun Fish to perform magic on Dragon Lord Teng of the East Sea Dragon Palace, so that Dragon Lord Teng is engraved with the mark of the Qiankun Fish, first initially corroding Dragon Lord Teng.

To do this, you need to have a certain affinity for Dragon Lord Teng.

The Four Sea Dragon Lords are originally pure Dragon Clan bloodlines, and they also have the fortune of the dynasty, not to mention that they have held many ceremonies over the years, so they just happen to have this affinity.

Then you set up a magic circle on the coral mountain. This magic circle needs to be intercepted halfway. To do this, only your Mount of Ending's Three Thunder Formation can do it.

At this time, cooperate with the Profound Dragon Dagger to inscribe Dragon Lord Teng.

On the other side, you let that Third Prince of the East Sea kill a Qiankun Fish, and the blood of that Qiankun Fish will flow along the water in the palace to all areas of the palace.

Then, under the influence of the other fish blood, the phantom of Dragon Lord Teng in the Dragon Palace will be shattered.

When this step is reached, the North Sea's traction on Dragon Lord Teng will completely disappear.

Finally, the purpose of seizing Dragon Lord Teng is achieved.

May I ask you, I don't know if the servant's analysis is correct or not?"

Dragon Sea stared at the other party intently. The next moment, Dragon Sea did not answer the other party, but directly transformed into his true form, and then rushed straight at the Profound Dragon Dagger.

"Humph!"

The Dragon Queen snorted coldly and took a step forward.

Dragon Sea's heart trembled. In just that instant, Dragon Sea spat out a mouthful of blood.

Dragon Sea lost his balance and smashed into the coral mountain.

The top of the coral mountain was smashed to pieces, but the magic circle and the dagger were separated from the main body of the coral mountain, and the entire magic circle and the dagger were suspended in the air.

When Dragon Sea still wanted to get up again, the Dragon Queen's foot stepped on his head.

Dragon Sea felt as if his head was being pressed down by a mountain.

Even if Dragon Sea was a Jade Purity Realm cultivator, he had no room for resistance in the face of this Eternal Dragon Queen.

"Hehe, as expected of the Dragon Queen who has lived for ten thousand years. Except for your poor taste in Dao companions, everything else is impeccable."

"Boom!"

Just as Dragon Sea finished speaking, the Dragon Queen's little foot wearing black gold embroidered shoes stepped down, and Dragon Sea's head directly sank into the ground, and the sound of his skull cracking was crisp and clear.

Even Xu Ming felt pain.

However, it can be seen that the other party also knew that he had no hope of surviving, so he simply indulged his mouth and directly touched the Dragon Queen's reverse scale.

"Hehe... Now that things have been exposed, Your Majesty can kill or cut me as you please."

Dragon Sea really didn't expect that his affairs would be exposed so easily.

Logically speaking, the other party's vigilance shouldn't be this high.

But since it's already exposed, it's exposed. There's nothing more to say.

"Then you shall die." The Dragon Queen stomped down with force.

The head of this Flood Dragon instantly exploded into a mist of blood.

The Dragon Queen never considered leaving anyone alive.

The Dragon Queen knew the End Mountains better than anyone. People from the End Mountains all share a common trait: they are extremely tight-lipped.

The Dragon Queen didn't even glance at the Flood Dragon that had thoroughly died.

The Dragon Queen turned around and walked towards the direction of the dagger.

Everyone thought that this matter was settled, even Xu Ming thought so.

Arriving before the dagger, the Dragon Queen reached out and cut her finger, letting a drop of her blood essence fall into it.

After the Xuanlong Dagger absorbed the Dragon Queen's blood essence, it expelled Long Hai's blood essence, and the entire dagger was being tempered.

Waves of spiritual energy dissipated, and the golden threads permeating the Dragon King Vine gradually broke, and the original lightning became weaker and weaker.

At this time, Xu Ming also knew why the Dragon Queen had waited until now to act.

Since the other party was unrighteous, then the Dragon Queen would naturally be unjust.

The Dragon King Vine's inscription was already halfway completed.

At this time, the Dragon Queen could directly seize the Dragon King Vine. Controlling the Xuanlong Dagger is equivalent to controlling the Dragon King Vine.

However, Xu Ming discovered that the Dragon Queen didn't just want to control the Dragon King Vine through the Xuanlong Dagger.

The Dragon Queen seemed...

She wanted to refine the Dragon King Vine into her own Natal Magic Treasure?!

The Dragon Queen reached out and grasped the Xuanlong Dagger.

At first, this dagger was still constantly resisting, but the Dragon Queen's dragon might constantly covered it, and soon the wildness of this dagger was completely extinguished.

Holding this dagger, the Dragon Queen came to the Dragon King Vine, and then heavily stabbed down at the Dragon King Vine!

In the East Sea Imperial Palace, spiritual energy shook and scattered, and the East Sea Dragon King was shaken back, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Failed!" The East Sea Dragon King looked at the woman in the red dress beside him.

Mei Hongyu nodded and smiled: "That North Sea Dragon Queen is indeed not simple. I didn't expect that she would discover this. It can only be said that the reason why she has been able to live for so long is indeed not without reason."

"Hmph!" The East Sea Dragon King waved his sleeve, "Then what now? What do you say we should do? What exactly should we do?!"

Mei Hongyu's tone was already very calm: "Your Majesty, don't worry, we actually still have a way."

"What way could you possibly have!" The East Sea Dragon King was furious.

The people from the End Mountains came to find him before, and they spoke with certainty, saying that the plan would definitely work. He believed them, but in the end, it failed!

Just as the East Sea Dragon King wanted to scold this woman, the phantom of the central Dragon King Vine gradually became illusory, and even this palace was constantly collapsing.

"How is that possible!"

Ao Zhi's eyes flickered, looking at everything in front of him in disbelief.

Ao Zhi slapped out a palm towards the phantom of the central Dragon King Vine, but the spiritual energy was instantly bounced back!

"How dare she! She actually wants to refine the Dragon King Vine!"

Ao Zhi knew what had happened, turned around, and stared at Mei Hongyu.

"Now what do you say we should do?! Once that fellow Ooyue Korya has mastered the Dragon King Vine, we can only wait for death!" Ao Zhi was anxious.

If it was just a failure, it wouldn't be the most desperate step.

His East Sea Dragon Palace is not to be trifled with, and can still resist.

Not to mention that he has cooperated with the End Mountains!

However, if the other party masters the Dragon King Vine, even with the End Mountains protecting them, his East Sea will still be doomed!

"Your Majesty doesn't need to be so anxious, we actually still have a way?" Mei Hongyu smiled, "It's just that this method requires borrowing something from Your Majesty."

"Borrow what?"

"Your life."
