Chapter 1933: Spring Breeze

Speaking of the previous generation's Blood River True Monarch, Huo Shiji, he was also quite fond of Chong Xuanzun when they were overseas. One time, Chong Xuanzun was chased to the ends of the earth, and after painstakingly searching, he finally found traces of Wantong. He immediately organized a team of True Monarchs, ventured deep into the vast sea, and returned after cutting off dragon horns.

It was precisely at that time that Huo Shiji recognized Chong Xuanzun's talent and immediately offered to take him as a disciple, adding another example to the list of times Chong Xuanzun had rejected a True Monarch.

Now, this generation's Blood River True Monarch, Peng Chongjian, rushed to the vast sea. One wonders if he was doing it for the sake of the Qi Kingdom's face or for the sake of painstaking search?

"You are seeking death!"

Behind the ten-thousand-zhang dragon body, thunder and lightning seemed to weave a new world. Looking at this world from that world, one could vaguely sense infinite power.

Taiyong carried the wind and brought the rain, his claw smashing the Blood River.

That fierce wind, strong enough to destroy mountains and break ridges, only ruffled Peng Chongjian's long hair.

He raised his eyes to look at the Dragon Clan Royal Lord in front of him, his dominance self-evident: "I am indeed seeking death!"

From the turbulent blood-colored tide, a blood-colored winged fierce tiger roared and leaped out. With a horizontal sweep of its wings, it had already killed its way into the world of thunder.

Peng Chongjian lightly raised a finger, pointing it forward. The black hairpin in his hair bun pierced through the long sky, transforming into Mount Taiyi, an eight-thousand-zhang tall main peak whose body extended for several thousand li, and smashed directly down towards Taiyong, its shape like a fierce tiger sitting on a dragon's body!

Taiyong soared and circled in the high sky, his enormous body encircling Taiyi, winding upwards around the mountain.

Mount Taiyi's ancient trees reached for the sky, its rocks rugged.

The Royal Lord's dragon body had golden scales like golden knives, radiating a brilliant sharpness.

The surging Blood River temporarily stopped its rapid flow, and the roaring sea of thunder generated waves. It was precisely

A fierce thunder roaring tiger rolled up the sky, a dragon coiled around a mountain overturning the Blood River!

The vast great plain witnessed this battle, the sky dome as innocent as white paper, allowing them to arbitrarily smear and render colors.

And under the endless thunder and blood-colored sky curtain, the wind and rain poured down but could not extinguish that burning flame.

Zhu Sui held a lamp towards Zhong Xi, both the person and the white paper lantern enveloped by white flames. With every step he took, he burned through countless prohibitions. It seemed as if countless strings between heaven and earth were vibrating incessantly, breaking incessantly.

Under his golden crown, Zhong Xi's face was already pale. The breaking of the great army formation had a huge impact on him, the person in charge of the formation. Moreover, Zhu Sui had already adopted a desperate stance.

He looked down at the corpses everywhere, the soldier's evil dispersing like quicksand, feeling a deep sense of loneliness. Although this was Yan Wang Tainanqiao's personal army, it was not his direct line. But how could all these Sea Clan warriors not be his people?

Those who perished in ancient times' armies, how this sorrow hurts!

He gazed at Zhu Sui holding the lamp, and in that intense white flame, he seemed to see an abyss.

Thus, he extended his index finger and virtually drew a half-arc in the air, shaped like an archway.

"Go!"

He roared in a low voice and stepped into this door, thus disappearing from sight.

And high above in the sky, the coiled mountain dragon that was firmly suppressing Mount Taiyi suddenly shook and fiercely turned its head. Its huge body sharply shrank, transforming into a coroneted and dressed man. He lightly and casually took a step forward and also stepped into that suddenly appearing archway.

Thus, they disengaged from the battle.

Of course, they did not escape from Saha Dragon Domain; they simply temporarily gave up the effort of killing the two human race absolute peaks and chose to retreat to guard Longchan Ridge—that is the most core part of the entire Saha Dragon Domain, and it is also where Red Eyebrow Royal Lord Xiyang is currently guarding and Yang Valley General Yue Jie is currently attacking.

The terrifying pressure that came with the end of the absolute peaks' battle ceased.

Zhu Sui collected the white flame into the white paper lantern, slowly stepping in the air, smoothing out the still trembling Dao principle ripples. Peng Chongjian put one hand behind his sleeve, collecting the surging Blood River. With the other hand, he retrieved Mount Taiyi and reinserted it into his hair as a black hairpin.

The ten-thousand-li thunder light gradually scattered, and the wind and rain were like fog.

The sky suddenly cleared up, but it did not bring warmth to this world.

The clearer it was, the more cruelty one could see.

On the huge plain battlefield, corpses lay like mountains.

The Sea Clan was certainly densely packed, but how could the human race not be a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood?

Even if a spring breeze brushed over this place, it could not bring life. The vast land seemed as if peach blossoms had split their petals.

Circles and circles of blood color spread open. Yu Liyang stood proudly alone, his peach blossoms even brighter than the blood flowers.

He suddenly said: "Wuan Hou, come forward again!"

Jiang Wang did not understand why, but he still had great respect for the peach blossom immortal who had saved him. He dispersed his smoke armor and flew forward: "I don't know what instructions Yu Shangqing has?"

Yu Liyang stood proudly in the center of the battlefield, the dead energy of the corpse mountain not staining his quality, the bloodstains and scorch marks not covering his splendor. He only said

In a voice: "Lend me your ear."

It seemed there was some secret to transmit.

Many divine presence cultivators in the field looked on with greedy eyes. A Yan Dao True Monarch transmitting experience—what a great opportunity!

But recalling Jiang Wang's bravery on the battlefield, and thinking of his fame as a heaven's pride, they could only sigh... It should be so!

Jiang Wang, as instructed, leaned his ear over, only to hear Yu Liyang's lips move, his voice as fine as a mosquito

"Support me."

Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment. He then heard an extremely small voice added in his ear: "Don't be too obvious."

He recalled the past words: "I am in this formation, merely appreciating flowers and waiting for wine. What harm can come to me!"

The sound was still in his ear!

After thinking for a moment, he directly reached out, put his arm around Yu Liyang's shoulder, and sighed: "Yu Shangqing's might is truly astonishing to behold! It truly makes me sigh."

For Yu Liyang, who was so mindful of his demeanor, to open his mouth and ask someone to support him, his condition could only be worse than imagined. It was clear that he was truly approaching depletion.

His abundant Dao Yuan and vital energy, measured at the Divine Presence level, were continuously transported to Yu Liyang through the contact of their arms. Of course, this was like filling the sea with broken stones, difficult to achieve a great effect, but it was more or less a comfort.

Yu Liyang also put his arm around Jiang Wang's shoulder in return and said very gracefully: "Wuan Hou also performed extremely well."

The two of them were hooking shoulders and backs on this bloody battlefield, chatting leisurely as if no one else was around, directly causing Shang Fengchen and Nalan Longzhi to look at each other.

No matter how you put it, the strong who stood upon the super-extraordinary absolute peaks were also existences that the masses looked up to. Between them and the Divine Presence cultivators was a gap more than a natural chasm, any power was hard to cross. Unless one held the seal of a great country or sat in the governing power of one's own great sect. Jiang Wang obviously did not belong to any of these.

Jiang Wang and Yu Liyang's relationship... Was it really this close?

In the void, that white paper nameless book was quietly turning a page again, the ink characters evolving: One is a hero in the Qi-Xia war whose military merit was second only to Cao Ji, and the other is a pillar of the Xia Kingdom, a surrendered minister of the Qi Kingdom. Before the war, Qingyangzi; after the war, Wuan Hou. Before the war, Xia Minwang; after the war, Qi Shangqing...

Zhuo Qingru stepped forward, wanting to listen more specifically to what those two people were chatting about.

Suddenly, another person appeared extremely abruptly in the high sky.

He had a bitter expression on his face, his armor was broken, and his right arm was completely broken from the root, only leaving half a shoulder armor, hanging low and ragged.

But although his face was bitter and his body was broken, his eyes were fixed.

His gaze swept over the battlefield, and he only said calmly: "I am Cao Ji. The following war in Saha Dragon Domain will be my responsibility."

There was no need for further introduction; the two characters Cao Ji were enough.

Cao Ji had no famous battles in his lifetime, but he seized the fruits of victory, which could be described as numerous. The Qi-Xia war was even enough to make his name go down in history.

Shang Fengchen naturally handed over authority.

The warriors who were still alive on the battlefield were all gathered from different domains, their organization scattered and difficult to condense.

When Shang Fengchen was in command, he only mainly commanded the Yang Valley army and called on other warriors to form teams on their own to impact the weaker areas of the Sea Clan army formation.

But as soon as Cao Ji arrived, with just a few casual commands, he reorganized the army's appearance. His commands were clearly transmitted to everyone's ears, and he had a very clear understanding of the state of every warrior. It seemed he also knew which army formations each warrior practiced. He had everyone stand in their proper positions.

Zhu Sui hunched over again, the wrinkles on his face seeming deeper, and slowly asked: "How is Jiayu?"

While organizing the army, Cao Ji replied: "He couldn't be killed, but there is no need to worry. In this war, he cannot make a move again."

Peng Chongjian, whose black hairpin was inserted in his hair, also opened his mouth: "On Shen Du True Monarch's side..."

Cao Ji shook his head: "I am not clear about the current situation of the East Sea Dragon Palace,

But I think Shen Du True Monarch and Qi Shuai also do not hope for us to pay attention to that side. We need to do our

Own things well."

Up to now, in the entire secret realm battlefield, six Royal Lords have appeared from the Sea Clan, namely: Zhong Xi, Xi Yang, Jia Yu, Rui Chong, Zhan Shou, and Tai Yong.

Six True Monarchs have appeared from the human race, namely: Yu Li Yang, Zhu Sui, Cao Ji, Danger Seek, Yue Jie, and Peng Chongjian.

Among them, Jia Yu is out, and Yu Li Yang's strength has declined. The states of Cao Ji, Zhu Sui, and Zhong Xi are also not in good shape.

The Sea Clan's victory fruits are the overturning of Fuzhou Island, the sinking of Xingzhu Island, and the breakthrough of Huai Island, causing chaos among sea beasts in the entire near sea and resulting in countless deaths and injuries.

The human race's gain is the leveling of Yuegui Sea and the attack into Saha Dragon Domain.

Now, the battlefields of Saha Dragon Domain and East Sea Dragon Palace are proceeding simultaneously. To put it bluntly, they just want to see if Cao Ji and the others can achieve the results they want before Danger Seek and Qi Xiao's war ends.

If we take this moment as a dividing line, before this point, both the human race and the Sea Clan had wins and losses, and it was difficult to say who had the upper hand.

But at this moment in Saha Dragon Domain, the human race has five True Monarchs, while the Sea Clan only has three. This is an overwhelming advantage in power!

Peng Chongjian nodded: "That is the way it should be!"

"Whole army!" Cao Ji completed organizing the army and immediately dispatched: "Towards Longchan Ridge!"

During the following journey, he would continuously incorporate other human race warriors who had attacked into Saha Dragon Domain, and continuously adjust the great army, seeking to form an army with fighting power before Longchan Ridge.

His personal military strength was no longer at its peak, but relying on the army formation, he could still display a might that would catch the eye of a Royal Lord.

That Sea Clan Royal Lord Jia Yu was first injured by him with the army formation, and then rowed away.

On the barren plain, the human race warriors had just ended a difficult war and were rushing to the next battlefield. They didn't even have time to collect the corpses of their comrades.

If this war was won, there would be time to come back and collect the corpses. If this war was lost, there would be no need to collect corpses; they would be buried here together, which would also count as returning home!

Everyone moved under Cao Ji's command, only Yu Liyang and Jiang Wang still stood in the center of the battlefield, among the piles of dead bodies.

Yu Liyang hugged Jiang Wang's shoulder, seemingly carefree and elegant, but in fact putting all his weight on Jiang Wang's body. At this moment, he even shouted: "You all go first, Wuan Hou is too severely injured! I will heal him a bit and then follow up!"

Zhu Biqiong immediately cast a concerned gaze.

Jiang Wang remained silent but waved his hand, indicating for her to rest assured.

Cao Ji also didn't say anything, turned around and left, walking arm in arm with Zhu Sui and Peng Chongjian.

Soon, the human tide was far away, and the world was empty. Only the wind still blew.

Only the thick smell of blood, one wave after another, stimulated the nostrils.

Yu Liyang looked at those receding backs in the distance, especially at the woman wearing a sea-blue Daoist robe who frequently turned her head. He unconsciously raised his chin: "Have you had a segment?"

The flirtatious name of the Peach Blossom Immortal was known throughout the world. Jiang Wang was too lazy to pay attention to this boring comment and only said: "How long does Yu Shangqing need to rest?"

Yu Liyang said: "It depends on the situation. I can't be sure in my current state. It could be as fast as three to five hours, or as slow as three to five months."

Jiang Wang suspected if he had heard incorrectly.

Yu Liyang added: "It mainly depends on how long it takes them to attack Longchan Ridge."

Considering this war, this Peach Blossom Immortal planned to see it through...

Jiang Wang also didn't judge anything. What right did he have to judge a Yan Dao True Monarch who stayed on the battlefield, endured the grinding and killing of the great army, and suffered until now?

He only said: "Then Yu Shangqing can rest here. Jiang has responsibility on his shoulders and dares not unload it."

"You cannot unload it." Yu Liyang's hand, which was hugging Jiang Wang's shoulder, added several forces: "Your responsibility is to properly support me."

Jiang Wang silently transported Dao Yuan and vital energy, feeling that inside Yu Liyang's empty Dao body, there was a thread of power being restored, like a spring breeze blowing over all things coming to life. To the Peach Blossom Immortal himself, this power was still weak. And to the feeling of Jiang, it was already surging like a sea.

The restoration of a Yan Dao True Monarch and the restoration of a Divine Presence cultivator were not the same concept. They could recover in a single breath, giving birth to infinite possibilities. If not for absolute peaks suppressing them or great armies surrounding them, it would be truly difficult to kill them.

"If Yu Shangqing wanted to properly rest, why didn't he leave earlier? Why stay in Saha Dragon Domain and fight bitterly?" Jiang Wang asked.

At this time, he could of course guess that Zhu Sui and Yu Liyang being trapped in Saha Dragon Domain was probably also one part of Qi Xiao's plan. However, for a True Monarch like the Peach Blossom Immortal, he originally had the right to refuse.

Yu Liyang said angrily: "After sending you away, I immediately said I would leave, but that old man stubbornly refused to leave, insisting on counter-attacking the enemy chief. I also had to stay to accompany him... Otherwise, wouldn't I be a traitor?!"

Jiang Wang was actually speechless.

Yu Liyang shouted another slogan: "My loyalty to Great Qi is unwavering!!"

He paused: "Remember to relay this sentence."

Jiang Wang was puzzled: "Relay it to whom?"

"Relay it to the state, understand?" Yu Liyang said carelessly.

Jiang Wang:

"What's with that expression?" Yu Liyang was quite dissatisfied: "Aren't you a close minister of the Son of Heaven, a famous member of the Donghua faction in Linzi!"

Yu Liyang kept rambling, and Jiang Wang became more and more confused as he listened: "What Donghua faction?"

"Just those few who often hang out in Donghua Pavilion." Yu Liyang tilted his head to look at him: "In recent years, besides Li Zhengshu, you are the one who goes there most frequently. Isn't that right?"

What nonsense!

Jiang Wang said: "Every time I go to Donghua Pavilion, it's for important matters!"

"You don't need to tell me this." Yu Liyang raised his palm to cut off his words: "I just heard people talking about it."

Jiang Wang said sarcastically: "Then you must really not be idle."

"Cultivating flowers and cooking wine day after day, dreaming and sleeping on a mountain of incense year after year!"

Yu Liyang finished chanting a sentence and sighed: "In my free time, I always think about when I can go out and walk around. It's finally good that I managed to come out, but I feel like it's not as idle as I thought..."

He sighed heavily: "Selling your life to the Qi court is really not an easy job... They pay the salary, but they really want to buy your life!"

Jiang Wang didn't listen to his complaints, only feeling that the power within this Yan Dao True Monarch's body was becoming more and more surging, so he stopped the transportation of Dao Yuan: "Is your injury okay?"

"What injury?" Yu Liyang pushed him away and was already lively and spirited: "Who got injured? Mere Sea Clan, what can they do to me, Yu Liyang?"

Jiang Wang took a deep breath and pointed at his ear: "It's quite obvious that I got injured."

Yu Liyang glanced at him: "I don't think it's very severe."

After saying that, he pulled Jiang Wang and took him straight up to the high sky: "Stop slacking off with women, and follow me to the battlefield to strive for glory for Great Qi!"

All the way, peach blossom shadows flew past. All the way, the spring wind sent them off.
