195: Chapter 188: Oh, isn’t this our Siao Family’s Consort Prince?

Many minor figures from Lyuzhou’s forces were now comfortably adjusting to everything in the platform of the Divine Path Sect.

In the academy, Shen Yuan was engrossed in his daily studies, immersing himself in a sea of books.

Atop Daqing Mountain, Wei Gongzhan, despite facing the loess back to the sky every day, also had a warm and comfortable life.

In Yunzhou, Weichi Feihu cast aside all worries and dedicated himself to earning merits and performing rescues with an abandon that made each day exceedingly unrestrained.

Although the three of them each harbored a faint shadow regarding a certain day in the future, at the present, they all felt fulfilled.

But what none of them knew was that during these few days, the very platform they hoped could be maintained for a longer time was undergoing a life-and-death trial!

Inside Nanyang City, various forces had gathered, all waiting for the arrival of that deadliest of foes.

The forces were diverse: there were several senior magicians from the Shen Family, the Lyuzhou forces led by Chen Qing, the Undead Legion of Princess Bai Yu represented by Weichi Feihong, and the elite troops of the Duke Qi Tian Heng which had come to Nanyang along with Chen Qing!

Although most of the various forces had their own agendas, at this moment, they all shared the same goal: they must curb Princess Chang’s spreading speed.

Otherwise…

not just Lyuzhou, but all the forces relying on Jiangnan, would be eradicated by the opponent’s undead army!

Since the plan was confirmed yesterday, everyone had started preparations, and by the second day’s dawn, everything was ready.

However, the time from dawn to noon was the most torturous.

Unlike the busy period of preparation, this quiet time of waiting for the arrival was the hardest to endure.

Even the usually composed Chen Qing would occasionally frown as he looked outside at the sky and couldn’t help thinking that after returning, he might need to organize his department of engineering to craft something like watches.

Guessing the time by looking at the sky was truly agonizing.

“Brother Chen can’t sit still any longer?” Second Elder Shen asked with a chuckle.

Chen Qing rolled his eyes.

You’re a guy who’s a couple of centuries old.

Who are you calling brother?

“Haha, youth is always somewhat impatient,” Second Elder Shen said.

Everyone’s face twitched.

Since taking charge in Lyuzhou, this man had been calculating every step of the way, his methods were shrewd, and the timing of his moves was precise.

Taking big risks on small gambits, and each time he managed to succeed.

With such craftiness, could he really be an impetuous young man?

Lan Xiang frowned as he looked at Chen Qing, his gaze complicated.

This young man had been valued by the Duke of Qin since his time in Capital City, so Lan Xiang naturally dared not underestimate him.

But even so, he had not expected him to be so capable.

How long had it been since he left Capital City?

About a year?

Not to mention the huge forces he commanded, he had also won over many other powers.

That he could even unite some demon forces…

this young man was truly remarkable.

Now, under the current situation, they had to cooperate, but the thought of plotting against Princess Chang still made him a little uneasy.

Those who had lived through the years of chaos knew very well how formidable the eldest daughter of the Siao Family was.

Once under the King of Qin, she stood on an equal footing with Lumings, a woman of such stature, it was hard to imagine.

And now, her means were even more vicious and crazed.

With a series of maneuvers, even the Duke of Qin had nearly been annihilated.

Such a character, could they really scheme against her?

But this was their last chance.

Last time they managed to escape to Jiangnan, but this time…

where else could they flee?

Moreover, with the spreading corpse poison in their bodies, they had no choice but to cooperate with Chen Qing!

“Lord Chen…” Lan Xiang looked at Chen Qing.

“I don’t quite understand your plan.

I just want to ask, how confident are you?

The soldiers under me are the last bloodline of Duke Qi, and they cannot afford to suffer huge losses!”

“I can’t give you that guarantee!” Chen Qing said with a wry smile.

“After all, you know what kind of person Princess Chang is.

Against such a character, even the most meticulous plan cannot be fully guaranteed.”

This response, paradoxically, reassured Lan Xiang somewhat.

If Chen Qing had been overly confident against someone as formidable as Princess Chang, he would have been even more anxious.

“Now, we’re all pushed to the edge of a cliff with no way back.

If we can’t win this round, then no one will survive…” Chen Qing looked at him seriously.

“General Lan, it’s not just your troops that are precious.

You’ve seen the soldiers I have trained, and they are no less than yours!”

Lan Xiang: “….”

He really couldn’t refute, so he felt even more horrified inside.

To be honest, he thought Chen Qing’s strategy, given time, could be as threatening as Princess Chang’s…

maybe even more…

“They’re here!”

A sinister voice echoed through the hall.

Everyone turned to look; it was none other than the gloomy-faced Fifth Elder Shen.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing used Second Elder Shen’s Thousand Eyes technique to look over!

A massive wave of fiendish and bloodthirsty aura came crashing down like a tidal wave.

The momentum was a thousand times more terrifying than the previous assembly of a million undead outside Nanyang City.

Clearly, to intimidate the Fifth Elder Shen, Princess Chang must have spared no expense…

This could be troublesome!

Chen Qing bit his finger, mulling over their situation.

According to their estimates, the opposing force should have retained many more troops for the battle for Nanming Prefecture, but it seemed they also attached great importance to Nanyang City.

Their forces were constrained, but the quality of the soldiers was exceedingly formidable.

Hardly more than ten thousand had come, yet all were undead soldiers above the Fifth-Rank Warrior level!

Such a force, unleashed upon the secular world, could potentially sweep through unopposed!

“Hiss…” The others also inhaled sharply.

Second Elder Shen exclaimed, “Even when the Imperial Army was at its zenith, I’m afraid it couldn’t muster ten thousand troops of such caliber.

The power of Princess Chang can now openly challenge the Imperial Court!”

Lan Xiang nodded, feeling secretly relieved.

He was glad he had fled in time, because if he had faced Princess Chang’s army, he likely would have had no chance of survival!

“Let’s go, everyone!” Chen Qing stood up and walked to the forefront.

“Our success or failure hinges on this one move!”

————————————–

“Your Old Liu is quite cautious…”

At the city gate, Princess Chang, holding her forces back, coldly observed everything before her.

The demand from the other party was that her own clan members must enter the array first to ensure defense before Princess Chang could proceed.

This cautious attitude eased her mind slightly, as it was consistent with the information about Second Elder Shen.

Yet, inexplicably, she still felt a sense of irritation.

“He has always been like this…” Fifth Elder Shen smiled faintly.

“Your Highness need not worry.

Old Liu is not a man of great ambition.

His goal is just Jiangnan.

As long as Your Highness keeps your promise and gives him Jiangnan to rule as the Blood Ancestor, it’s highly unlikely he will betray us.”

“It would indeed be good if he could remain so content.” Princess Chang frowned, looking towards Nanyang City.

“The people inside Nanyang City are unharmed, right?”

“Not a problem!” Fifth Elder Shen grinned.

“After all, we’ll need blood offerings in the future; we can’t turn everyone into undead.

Once we clear out the bloodline families, we’ll destroy all the common undead, leaving only a few elites.

At that time, controlling the world will require very few blood offerings, and the world…

will definitely be much more stable than it is now.”

Princess Chang nodded at his words.

The King of Qin was right; the bloodline families are the greatest cancer of this world, and the Reincarnating Demons are indestructible.

Therefore, the most useful method is to completely hide the demons.

The demons will be in charge of order, requiring only a few people to sacrifice their flesh and blood.

Among all the demons, the Ancient Insect Clan is the easiest to control.

This entity is absolutely loyal to its master, and all its actions are under the master’s surveillance, making it least likely to experience noble decay.

It’s also easy to sustain them, as the human world always has vicious criminals whose deaths are insignificant and who make the best raw material for blood offerings.

In this way, with the Ancient Insect Clan protecting the human world, it will be much more stable than any bloodline family or millennial sorcerer family could ever guarantee.

Once she obtained the inheritance of the Dragon Palace and the secret to longevity, the peaceful world that the King of Qin desired would be created by her own hands!!

“Your Highness…

you may enter now.”

Princess Chang nodded and declared, “Lead the way!”

Fifth Elder Shen waved in response, clearly indicating that Princess Chang was also extremely cautious.

The formidable princess did not recklessly take the lead to face the risk.

Instead, ten elite clan members walked at the forefront, each nearly at the First Rank Warrior level, their formation was intimidating.

The main army followed behind, with cavalry on both flanks maintaining a distance that allowed them to encircle and support, a formation utterly watertight!

Fifth Elder Shen felt that collaborating with this woman was a wise decision.

Competing with the eldest, battles with the armies were inevitable, and a renowned general could greatly enhance overall strength.

This was not even counting the immense political resources the other party had provided after years of planning in Capital City.

His choice of ally had been correct.

However, the woman was too assertive.

If she won in the end, deciding who would be the master and who the servant might become an issue, but that was a matter for the future.

At present, a strong alliance was necessary to have a chance against that one in the West Sea.

“I wonder…” As Princess Chang entered the inner part of the array, she observed the wondrous changes around her and furrowed her brows, “This Dragon Palace Array is indeed powerful, just this ability to mask presences is impressive.

I want to know, if Old Liu betrays us here, what price will we have to pay to break the formation?”

Fifth Elder Shen closed his eyes and calculated, “One-fifth of our forces, making use of the Blood Curse Method to break the formation!”

“One-fifth…” Princess Chang gritted her teeth in distress, then nodded, “Let’s hope it won’t come to that.”

This wishful thinking soon dissipated.

Because inside the array, it wasn’t Second Elder Shen who came to meet her, but a white-clothed young man she had not anticipated.

“Junior Chen Qing greets Princess Chang!”

An unexpected person, one she had never considered in her plans, appeared in the very place he should not have!

“Chen Qing…”

Princess Chang muttered under her breath, then lifted her head once again with no hint of surprise, the demeanor of a queen evident for all to see.

“I was wondering who it could be…” Looking at the man before her, whose name she had only heard, Princess Chang laughed and said, “Turns out it is the Consort Prince of my Siao Family that has come!”
