"Bastard!!"

Since his transmigration, Chen Qing had never been so agitated.

Not even during the years of hard study leading up to the civil service examination, nor on the verge of entering the scholarly class had he felt such excitement...

In a fury, his fists smashed into Ao Xin’s face, his strong body completely undamaged, but Chen Qing continued pounding like hitting a sandbag, his hands becoming a bloody blur.

"Stop it!"

The Yaksha watched from behind with an incomparably sullen face; even after Ao Xin’s death, it hadn’t planned to seek revenge but certainly didn’t intend to let someone desecrate the corpse!

Chen Qing turned around abruptly, his cold gaze making the Yaksha’s heart skip a beat.

Why could this man, who hadn’t even reached the threshold of transcendence, exert such pressure with his eyes?

This guy...

"Chen Qing, what on earth is going on?" Murong was also confused.

Chen Qing had clearly won by outsmarting the other, so why was he the one exploding with rage in the end?

Chen Qing paused, eventually not directing his anger at Murong Yunji, withdrew his injured hands, and turned back to the Yaksha, "Tell me, the bald man he mentioned before, have you seen him?"

The Yaksha was taken aback, then facing Chen Qing’s icy stare, ultimately chose not to lie, "The bald man His Highness mentioned, was it that fellow who looked exactly like him?"

Chen Qing: "...."

It was true...

That kid, he had actually been here?

"Where is he??" Chen Qing’s eyes instantly reddened.

No one could understand his feelings. Even when he suspected that the King of Qin might also be a transmigrator, he had never been so moved because, in a parallel world, encountering another transmigrator didn’t necessarily mean meeting a fellow countryman; the chances were greater of them being enemies.

But this was different, a familiar face, someone with whom he once had a good relationship, nothing was more important than this in this cold world!

"I don’t know..." the Yaksha shook its head.

"You don’t know?" Chen Qing stepped closer, "Think carefully before you answer."

The Yaksha frowned—in truth, such a weak individual posing a threat shouldn’t be taken seriously, but just moments before, in front of its very eyes, this man had outwitted the all-powerful Western Sea Crown Prince, scheming him to death!

"Back then, his appearance was discovered by the aquatic races, reported to the Dragon Palace, and His Highness personally captured him and brought him back to the Dragon Palace for research..."

"Research?" Chen Qing’s eyelids twitched, and a chill ran through him.

The word ’research’ wasn’t a good sign; he could all too easily imagine what that person had to endure.

"Is he still alive?"

"I don’t know..." the Yaksha shook its head, "Before he was rescued, at least he was alive."

"Rescued?"

"In the days preceding the Ancient Worm invasion, there was a human woman who followed the clues to the Dragon Palace. She succeeded in getting past His Highness, won the right to the Nine Heavens Mirror Valley, and as agreed, took that person away after the Ancient Worm was sealed."

"Oh?" Chen Qing took a deep breath, "Then what?"

"After that, I don’t know." The Yaksha shook its head, "At that time, I was urgently revived. Though temporarily activated by lifeblood essence, without the Earth Spirit restored, I naturally couldn’t stay awake continuously.

After confirming the safety of the Dragon Palace, we went back into our icy slumber. "

So he was rescued?

Chen Qing’s tense muscles eased a bit.

That must have been tens of thousands of years ago...

Maybe... even the grass on his grave has turned into a forest by now?

No...

Chen Qing shook his head, his thoughts deepening.

That was his partner, a partner who possessed a deep understanding of this game. With his abilities, Chen Qing had reason to believe that as long as he was given a safe amount of time, he would definitely do very well—he had the potential to survive.

But if he was alive, where was he now?

"If you wanted to find him, you shouldn’t have killed the Crown Prince," the Yaksha spoke up.

"Why?" Chen Qing asked with a frown.

"When he was let go, he made a covenant with the Crown Prince. If he’s alive, he should come to fulfill that covenant."

"Oh?" Chen Qing’s eyes lit up, "What covenant?"

"He promised to bring the most perfect species as an offering to the Crown Prince."

"The most perfect species..." Chen Qing was dumbfounded, "What species?"

"I do not know..." the other party shook their head, "I only know it was one of the Crown Prince’s plans. To be cautious, the Crown Prince and that individual signed a Dragon Blood Pact."

"A Dragon Blood Pact?" Chen Qing frowned. The highest covenant of the Dragon Clan, not to be regretted, but it also greatly bound the other party. That is to say, if he was still alive, he should have arrived at the Dragon Palace by now?

Chen Qing’s heart skipped a beat, as the images of everyone he remembered flashed through his mind, he was overwhelmed with shock and suspicion.

Could it be... one of the parties from the four powers?

But... that guy, with his personality, could he hide himself that well?

Chen Qing felt an inexplicable mood coming over him.

After tens of thousands of years, what had that guy... turned into?

----------------------------------------

Boom!!

In a dark corner of the Celestial Dragon Palace, a familiar figure slowly rose, and beneath her lay the corpse of a gigantic monster.

The monster was huge, its head almost impossible to see in one glance, especially its gaping maw, exaggerated as if it could swallow the sun and moon.

If Murong were here, she would definitely recognize that the monster... was the very one that Chen Qing had tricked, the one that had bitten and repulsed the Heavenly Ghost Octopus and swallowed Zi Yue along with it—the Heaven Devourer Dragon Whale!

And now, the once-mighty monster lay dead with its eyes wide open, while the swallowed Zi Yue, except for her clothes being gone, had almost no injuries on her body.

Zi Yue turned back, looking at the bloodstains approaching her, her attractive face wrinkled. A huge blood mark emerged in the air, and the blood that dyed a whole area of water red astonishingly began to siphon towards the space above Zi Yue.

In less than a moment, the entire body of water became incredibly clear and bright, while the blood that had stained everything condensed into a crystal above the blood mark.

If Chen Qing were here, he would be surprised once again to find that Zi Yue... actually mastered the techniques of the Blood Guards and with even greater finesse. The enormous flesh of the Dragon Whale was consumed completely, leaving behind a crystal of terrifyingly high quality.

"This is a bit troublesome..." Zi Yue looked at herself, and couldn’t help but blush.

To be honest, Zi Yue looked like a young girl, but her figure was terrifyingly good, truly the type that some shut-ins like the most—childlike in the face, yet mountainous in form!

Although her figure was great, it was after all her own, but why...

If Chen Qing were here, he would definitely find it extremely strange.

Because at that moment, Zi Yue, looking at her own figure, showed a smile... that smile... how should it be put...

It was lecherous!

Unbelievably lecherous!

Just like the expressions of certain shut-ins who salivated over their two-dimensional waifus on the screen.

However, the weird expression on her face quickly disappeared, and she became serious once again, turning her attention to a huge shadow in the distance!

The shadow was so immense that, despite being very far away, Zi Yue could still see it—its colossal size that overshadowed the sky and sun.

"Heading towards the West Sea?" Zi Yue frowned, "Why the West Sea? Is it because Chen Qing is also in the West Sea?"

"It’s not impossible. Chen Qing attracted that monster for so long, it’s normal for him to be marked.

But the question is, what is Chen Qing doing in the West Sea?

" she murmured to herself, then her expression changed slightly, "That guy... couldn’t possibly know the secret of the West Sea, could he? "
