Chapter 408 -239: Dead Sea Palace, Snow Wolf Submits_2

A red sun, a crimson sun.

Three days later, Chen Qing finally met the legendary Daoist child in Fengdu.

Chen Qing sat on the grand seat, and before he could speak, he saw a Daoist child about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a light Daoist robe, accompanied by a woman with bright red skin.

Wearing very minimal attire, covered only by red leaves on the crucial parts, she somewhat resembled a Mountain Ghost.

The Daoist child bowed and said, “Disciple Mao Ri greets Uncle-Master!”

Chen Qing showed a hint of joy and asked, “Which senior brother’s disciple are you?”

Mao Ri replied, “Disciple is under Lord Yuyang.”

Chen Qing said, “So, you are a disciple under Brother Yuyang. Rest for a few days, and I will take you to tour the Death Realm.”

“Since it’s our first meeting, Uncle-Master has nothing valuable, only some spirit Gu. I will have Su Yi take you to the spirit Gu treasury where you can choose one you like.”

Mao Ri said, “Since it’s a gift from an elder, this disciple thanks Uncle-Master.”

“Also, Master has ordered me to come to the Death Realm to kill Huang Ming to aid the army, and I dare not delay.”

“I ask Uncle-Master to grant me merit, so I may cultivate to the peak of the Ghost Face Realm and quickly head to the battlefield!”

Chen Qing said, “Very well, Su Yi, take him there.”

After Su Yi left with Mao Ri, Chen Qing asked, “Qing Ran, do you think that woman just now was a Red Drought?”

In this realm, they don’t call them Drought Demons but Red Droughts.

Moreover, the two seem to differ, with the Red Drought being more of a smaller version of the Drought Demon, not as powerful.

Qing Ran said, “According to my information, she should be. The Red Drought can subdue and intimidate Flying Zombies, so with this Red Drought’s assistance, Huang Ming’s Rejuvenation Gu will surely be useless!”

Half a month later, Chen Qing sent Mao Ri to the battlefield, watching his departure, thinking to himself: Alright, now it’s time to invite the gods again.

Over at Xu Yaofeng’s side, due to the interference of the ancient dragon, they were in a deadlock.

Xu Yaofeng, being a member of the Jiguang Sect with a prominent family line, immediately reported to the sect, and soon, the Jiguang Sect responded.

They summoned the legendary Asura Saber, who had once terrified all cultivators in Nanli, preventing anyone from walking at night. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

The Asura Saber sent four direct disciples to assist, intending to set up the Avici Dragon-Slaying Formation to kill the ancient dragon of the Dragon Palace.

Once the front-line battlefield was at a stalemate, such a situation arose, turning into a battle of Great Sects, with the disciples of various legends appearing to assist Chen Qing and Ji Dang in vying for the throne.

Various strange Gu insects constantly emerged, causing the war to intensify.

Such days became increasingly frequent, with battles continuing unabated, and disciples of various sects descending from the mountains.

In a blink, three years passed.

In those three years, Chen Qing’s side ultimately gained the upper hand, as Li Chonghuan’s injuries had not healed, preventing him from participating in the battle, allowing Wushang to advance northward and finally join forces with Xu Yaofeng, leading an imposing army.

Unfortunately, at the final moment, Li Chonghuan appeared in time, saving the ancient dragon trapped in the Avici Dragon-Slaying Formation.

Once more, the battlefield fell into a deadlock.

Fengdu Inn.

After three years, Bai Xue once again met members of the Wolf Clan.

Upon seeing them, Bai Xue was still happy, “Bai Xiu, how are our clansmen?”

“By the way, where’s Brother Bai Pan? Why hasn’t he come to see me?”

Bai Xiu was a bit forlorn, silently saying, “Brother Bai Pan, died in battle.”

“Wangbei City was breached by Ji Dang.”

“The Shen Sha Army was too strong, and we had little chance to counter them.”

“Ji Dang wasn’t unable to defeat us, he was merely hiding his strength all along, wanting to annihilate us completely.”

“Now, we have only over four thousand wolf riders left, with just three thousand able to continue fighting.”

Bai Xue was deeply sorrowed. The Demon Clan was always straightforward, laughing when they felt like laughing, crying when they felt like crying.

“So, are you here to take me back?”

Bai Xiu said, “I’m here to represent the Lord in submitting to Lord Wen.”

“We can no longer withstand.”

“If Lord Wen doesn’t fully intervene, Ji Dang will surely pursue us relentlessly, leading to the extinction of the Wolf Clan, which is imminent.”

Bai Xue said, “Our Wolf Clan never submits to anyone for generations; has it really come to this?”

Bai Xiu said, “Once in the Death Realm, life and death are no longer in our hands.”

“Moreover, the great Wolf God has already issued a Divine Oracle, allowing us to submit to Lord Wen.”

“This is only a temporary hibernation. As long as we survive, we will have a chance to roam the world again.”

Hearing this, Bai Xue lost her rebellious thoughts, “A Divine Oracle from the Wolf God?”

“Alright then, let me lead you to meet Lord Wen.”

Bai Xiu followed Bai Xue to the seaside of the Death Sea, where he saw ten Undying Dragon Cavalry guarding the front, and said loudly, “Envoy of the Wolf Clan, Bai Xiu, seeks an audience with Lord Wen!”

Yu Qing picked up the document Bai Xiu brought, read through it, and then waved, saying, “Prepare the Ghost Coffin, send him down to meet Lord Wen.”

Bai Xiu looked at the churning Death Sea, knowing this journey could be a one-way trip, but still laid down in the Ghost Coffin inscribed with mysterious totems.

The Ghost Coffin was made of a very special Spirit Gold found by Chen Qing in the Death Sea, capable of isolating the Death Sea’s erosive power for a short time.

Bai Xiu lay in the Ghost Coffin for a full hour before feeling it being opened.

In front of him, one gate after another opened.

The seawater from the Death Sea was drained from the chamber, Bai Xiu sat motionless in the Ghost Coffin, fearing contact with the Dead Sea Water, but as soon as the water was completely drained, he stepped out of the Ghost Coffin.

Continuing forward, passing through eighteen gates decorated with various mysterious totems, he finally saw Chen Qing, who was enthroned on the high nine-level platform.

At this moment, Chen Qing was donned in a black robe, wearing a Mystic Crown, pen in hand, writing the Gu Book.

He glanced at Bai Xiu and asked, “How goes the battle from Snow Wolf Lord’s side?”

Bai Xiu forced himself to exude energy and replied, “Wangbei City has fallen, our army, though defeated, still numbers in thousands; however, the Shen Sha Army is fierce, and it’s hard to withstand them.”

“If Lord Wen doesn’t aid us, we might have to retreat to the snowfields again.”

“If that happens, Ji Dang will have ample troops to contend for the Central Plains with Lord Wen, and I’m sure Lord Wen, who has yet to suppress Feng Qiwu, wouldn’t want to see this happen?”

Chen Qing laughed heartily, “I care not about these things you speak of; Feng Qiwu is but a skeleton in the grave, and if I wish to suppress him, it’s merely a turn of my hand, not worth mentioning.”

“But you all, is it really that simple to retreat to the snowfield?”

“Ji Dang has planned for three years, advancing slowly, and has lured you step by step into a trap just to reclaim Wangbei City?”

“Ji Dang, in his actions, has always preferred cutting the weeds and digging up the roots, and I’m afraid the extinction of the Wolf Clan is not far off.”

“If Snow Wolf Lord only wishes to persuade me to send troops, such sincerity is insufficient.”

“Today, the Death Realm has 232 cities, and I alone occupy 98, almost half of the world is in my hand, so why should I forcefully send troops? What’s in it for me?”

“The Demon Clan has always been straightforward, let’s not speak useless words. Tell me, what are Snow Wolf Lord’s terms?”

At this, Bai Xiu heaved a long sigh, as Chen Qing already exuded the majesty of a world ruler, a pressure suffocating him somewhat.

“We, the Wolf Clan, are willing to submit!”

Hearing this, Chen Qing finally put down the wolf hair brush in his hand and carefully looked at Bai Xiu.

Bai Xiu could be seen holding a snow-white fox tail with both hands, walking towards him slowly, kneeling at the bottom of the nine-level platform, and presenting it.

Chen Qing spread his fingers, and the white fox tail fell into his palm, “This is somewhat sincere.”

“If you had said so earlier, it would have been better.”

“Go back and tell your Lord to retreat west.”

“The Red Lotus Demon King will rendezvous with him.”

Bai Xiu exclaimed, “Red Lotus Demon King? But the Red Lotus Demon King has only a thousand or two Demon Clan subordinates, can they really withstand the Shen Sha Army?”

Chen Qing smiled and said, “You might have forgotten, in these three years, there’s been not much news of the Red Lotus Demon King.”

“In this world, the most Demon Clan are in the northwest, and Feng Qiwu has been too intimidated by me to advance one step north.”

“Guess, would the Demon Clan in this world follow a Demon King with never a loss or Feng Qiwu who constantly loses?”

“Under her command, the Demon Clan is more numerous than you imagine.”
