Chapter 545: Chapter 421: Sea King Festival (4K)

"If I leave, they will definitely suspect you, and you will be in trouble!"

Bai Shuang looked at the two of them, her expression somewhat weary.

Zhang Jian said calmly, "Elder sister, don’t worry. The Qingping Sea Dragon can’t do anything to us!"

Bai Liying also fixed her gaze on Bai Shuang.

"Elder sister, His Majesty is the Great Xia Emperor, as well as the direct lineage elder of the Tongshan Dao Lineage. The Qingping Dragon Palace would not dare to be disrespectful to His Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Shuang’s expression stiffened.

As the Principal Consort of Xuanli, she was naturally aware of the significance of the Tongshan Dao Lineage elder.

After pondering, she couldn’t help but ask.

"Younger sister, may I ask one more question? What is my brother-in-law’s current cultivation realm?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Liying was taken aback, feeling a bit troubled.

Dao practice and cultivation are the lifelines of a cultivator. Unless someone is extremely close, they usually do not reveal it lightly.

Otherwise, in special circumstances, one might reveal a portion of their strength to reduce trouble. Otherwise, cultivators would not easily expose their true strength.

Although she and Zhang Jian were husband and wife, she couldn’t casually divulge Zhang Jian’s details.

She looked towards Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian glanced at Bai Shuang and said.

"Does elder sister have any other plans?"

Bai Shuang nodded slightly and said.

"If my brother-in-law’s Dao practice is sufficient, I have an opportunity here that may not help him directly, but can advance your magical power and bloodline, and even allow you to purify the dragon blood in advance, attaining the Dragon Carp form!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian’s eyes flickered.

Although Bai Liying had transformed into a human form, her true form was still a Profound Nether Black Carp.

The Profound Nether Black Carp is a spirit beast of the Carp Race.

However, its bloodline is not particularly strong.

But the Dragon Carp is different; their bloodline is unique, akin to the Flood Dragon.

Especially the Profound Nether Dragon Carp.

If Bai Liying could transform into the Dragon Carp form, it would mean a great creation for her.

Zhang Jian faintly guessed Bai Shuang’s intention, and he sighed inwardly.

This woman, no, this banshee is difficult to deal with when ruthless.

He then said, "My Dao practice and magical power should be close to a True Immortal. If I use my methods, a True Immortal may not withstand in front of me for long!"

At this statement, not only did Bai Shuang’s eyes shift, but Bai Liying also looked over.

Unbeknownst to her, Zhang Jian’s Dao practice had reached such an astonishing level?

Bai Shuang looked at Bai Liying with admiring eyes and said.

"Among the four of us sisters, younger sister, you are the luckiest!"

Bai Liying glanced at Zhang Jian, with a hint of joy in her eyes.

Bai Shuang looked at Zhang Jian again and said.

"Since my brother-in-law’s Dao practice and magical power are at such a level, the matter should be simple!"

"Younger sister, my brother-in-law, do you know the core process of the Sea King Festival at the Qingping Dragon Palace?"

Zhang Jian and Bai Liying exchanged a glance and nodded together.

Every three hundred years, the Sea King Festival at the Qingping Sea Dragon Palace is a grand event, with branches from outside returning to participate.

The Sea King Festival is essentially a contest of ’sincerity’ in the ancestral rituals by the various Dragon Races of the Qingping Sea Dragon Palace.

As long as this ’sincerity’ is recognized by the ancestral treasures, one can legitimately participate in the subsequent official baptism.

Bai Shuang spoke softly at this time:

"According to the rules, if you obtain the official ceremonial qualification, besides the main participant, you can also accommodate a Dragon Race deputy participant!"

"Actually, this deputy participant is considered a benefit devised by the Dragon Race ancestors for other branch Dragon Races and also an opportunity for the main lineage Dragon Race to seek and unite with the same clan, sticking to the ancestral instruction not to forget to cultivate good relations!"

"Yet the ancestors of the Qingping Sea Dragon Race had good intentions, but didn’t anticipate that such a method of transmission would gradually corrupt, with the main Dragon Race exploiting this opportunity for personal gain!"

Bai Shuang had a hint of mockery in her eyes.

Bai Liying had a contemplative look in her gaze.

"Elder sister’s meaning is..."

Bai Shuang met the gaze of both Bai Liying and Zhang Jian, with a cold and beautiful expression showing a hint of a smile, saying.

"If something ’unexpected’ were to happen to Xuanli, as his Principal Consort, I could replace him in participating in the Sea King Festival. At that time, as the main participant, I would have a slot for a deputy participant, and I could naturally bring younger sister along!"

"Oh, this indeed is quite a creation!"

Zhang Jian nodded calmly. During this period, as he got involved, he had gained some understanding of the Sea King Festival process.

In the Sea King Festival, as long as the offerings prepared are acknowledged by the Dragon Race ancestors, one can receive a ’Sea King’s Baptism’, a Tier Five Immortal Technique that can use the baptism to enhance one’s bloodline further.

This is particularly beneficial for the original Dragon Race.

He looked deeply at Bai Shuang, and after a moment, he said softly.

"Elder sister intends for Xuanli to disappear, or for something ’unexpected’ to occur?"

Next to him, Bai Liying’s expression became slightly stern upon hearing this. She slightly frowned her willow-like brows and looked at Bai Shuang.

Bai Shuang sighed gently, with a hint of reminiscence in her eyes, speaking softly.

"He once had affection and righteousness, but because of too many failures, he temporarily lost himself. Although my fate with him is now over, I don’t want to go too far. My brother-in-law, just find a way to prevent him from attending the Sea King Festival."

"That can be arranged!"

Zhang Jian smiled slightly.

"Princess, you stay here and accompany elder sister. I’ll be back soon!"

Bai Liying glanced at Zhang Jian.

It was evident that Zhang Jian was ready to take action immediately! 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

With the fearsome innate divine technique, Golden Lotus Hidden Breath Technique, Bai Liying wasn’t worried about Zhang Jian’s methods.

Zhang Jian’s figure flickered and vanished directly from the spot.

When he reappeared, he had already entered the Xuanli Hall.

At that moment, in the Xuanli Palace.
