What’s going on?

Their consciousness became blurred in an instant!

Having fused with the House Centipede bloodline, their bodily strength was actually far superior to that of normal magicians, and coupled with the fact that they had both undergone the Dragon Blood Bath by Her Majesty, their strength exceeded that of the average Super First Rank warrior.

But....

In front of this unknown mechanism, they had no resistance at all, without any warning, not even feeling any pain, their bodies shattered into countless pieces....

Their eyeballs had shattered into at least a dozen parts, and it was only when the fragmented eyeballs floated in the water and turned around that they could clearly see, the steel wire trap that was stained with fresh blood and was countless times finer than a strand of hair!

Dragon Tendon Silkworm Thread!

Both of them recognized it instantly; this was the Celestial Dragon Silk talent possessed by the Western Regions Dragon Silkworm after a successful Dragon Transformation.

A segment of such silk takes a millennium to refine and counts as top-tier Array materials, specially used to defend against the invasion of physically powerful creatures.

They just hadn’t expected it to appear here, so suddenly.

"Save... me!"

Both summoned up their last bit of consciousness, crying out to Chen Qing for help.

They didn’t have time to think whether this was Chen Qing’s doing; with the situation where they could be sucked away by the Path of Yin and Yang at any moment, seeking Chen Qing’s help was the last straw!

After all, Chen Qing was indeed the one who had truly signed a life contract with both of them; their deaths meant that he could not possibly escape, although the likelihood was high that the situation in front of them was his design.

Maybe he just wanted to threaten them for something, everything was up for negotiation, as long as they kept their lives first.

They certainly didn’t expect that their lady would be able to save them on the Path of Yin and Yang, even though Her Majesty wielded immense power there.

That ghostly place, as those who understood knew, was the most complex existence.

No power could guarantee that their subordinates’ souls would be drawn to a specific place after death.

The Path of Yin and Yang was boundless, and the two of them would most likely end up torn apart by evil ghosts!

"I’m afraid I can’t save you...." Chen Qing said with a smile, "Those two behind you are far too dangerous, not good partners to cooperate with...."

"You’ll die too!!"

The two said with venomous resentment.

"Ah, the loss indeed is quite significant...." Upon seeing his body beginning to show the same cracks as the others, Chen Qing sighed, "But there’s no way around it, no pain, no gain, right?"

As soon as his words fell, Chen Qing’s entire body was cut into countless pieces, just like the others!

This left the two whose spirits were already forced out and with no hope of survival stunned, but before being sucked away, they still saw the truth.

It was a person who looked exactly like Chen Qing, who had appeared here at some point, watching over the body that had turned into pieces with immense distress, and with the use of an unknown item, began to painstakingly collect the scattered pieces of flesh.

What’s happening here?

An external incarnation?

What kind of joke is this?

Could someone yet to become Transcendent master such Divine Skills that only top-notch powers possessed?

How could that be?

But all the impossibilities had clearly happened, and the two could only be sucked into the raging currents of the Path of Yin and Yang, filled with endless regret and resentment, seeing the millions of Evil Ghosts excitedly howling below, they knew that their last bit of luck hadn’t occurred, and they didn’t land in Her Majesty’s territory. ...

It’s over... it’s all over!

Tens of thousands of years of torment, forsaking their past glory and wealth, secretly defecting, betraying their kin and clan....

And this is the result?

Still such a tragic end, becoming blood food for thousands of demons!

Chen Qing!!!

The two howled mournfully, as if they wanted to curse Chen Qing with all their remaining strength, but as soon as their spiritual power touched Chen Qing, they were dumbfounded!

What terrifying spiritual power is this?

If their spiritual power as magicians could be considered a droplet of water, then this person in front of them was an endless vast ocean!

Even more exaggerated than those terrifying existences of the Path of Yin and Yang!

Who on earth is this guy?

"Oh?"

Chen Qing looked up, smiling at the two attacking him with their spirits, "I advise against this...."

As soon as he spoke, the enormous spiritual power rebounded back. The spirits of the two were not even given the chance to be torn apart by Evil Ghosts and instead were scattered into countless soul crystals, falling in all directions of the Path of Yin and Yang!

"Oh?"

Within the Path of Yin and Yang, a deep voice came through, "Quite interesting. Are there such beings in the human realm now?"

Chen Qing indifferently looked up, "There are still many interesting things you will encounter in the future."

"Heh... Really? I’m truly looking forward to that."

"Chen Qing? Chen Qing?"

The familiar voice pulled Chen Qing back to reality; he turned around to find Murong Yunji, who had been working with him to trigger the mechanism.

"Who were you talking to?" Murong Yunji frowned.

"Me?" Chen Qing blinked, "Wasn’t I talking to those two fools?"

"No..." Murong shook her head, "After those two guys were sucked into the Path of Yin and Yang, you seemed to still be talking to someone... I couldn’t see, but I felt chills and my hair standing on end."

"If you can’t see it, don’t worry about it." Chen Qing rolled his eyes and pointed ahead, "Look."

Murong turned to look, and at the spot where the two ancient magicians had shattered, two bright, jewel-like eyeballs slowly rose and retreated.

Just as I thought!

A smile crept onto Chen Qing’s face. Earlier, he had been chasing after those two eyeballs, nearly catching them before they vanished. At that moment, he suspected that the still-living pair must have some secret technique to retrieve these two orbs.

Setting up this trap, risking a clone, was not only to extract information, but also for these items!

"How many clones do you still have?" Murong asked curiously.

"The last one..."

"You said that the last time too!"

"This really is the last one..." Chen Qing looked again at the two orbs twitching, ready to flee, and spoke, "With the current situation in the West Sea Dragon Palace, are you sure you want to escape alone? Are you certain you can get away?"

"Is following you any better?" The two eyeballs actually began to speak.

Murong looked on in bewilderment, but Chen Qing laughed, "I am more reliable than those monsters, aren’t I?"

"Not necessarily, those monsters you speak of... all died by your hand!"

To the Dragon Maiden, the methods of this human before her were chilling. The Western Sea Third Prince, those three ancient sorcerers who had tortured her for so many years, had all been outwitted by this seemingly ordinary human!

She had seen exceptional humans before, but this was her first time encountering someone so formidable. He seemed even more dangerous than any horrific demon!

"You cooperated after all..." Chen Qing smiled, "With your eyesight, didn’t you see that silkworm thread? You didn’t warn them; doesn’t that mean you wanted them dead too?"

"Of course I wanted them dead!" The Dragon Maiden’s voice carried a bitter venom, yet she looked at Chen Qing with utmost vigilance, "But I don’t trust you either!"

"I can save you," Chen Qing stated bluntly, "Your body must still be in your mother’s possession, right? After all, a Purple Embryo like that requires a mother’s womb for gestation; it definitely needs to be put back inside you. Your mother would not kill you."

"Save me?" The Dragon Maiden scoffed, "Are you sure you don’t just want to steal my body to gestate that Purple Embryo?"

"Yes!" Chen Qing nodded straightforwardly, "That’s why I’m trustworthy. I need you, so I won’t kill you. Isn’t it better to bear the Purple Embryo for me than for your mother? Don’t you want revenge?"

The Dragon Maiden fell silent.

In this world... there are wolves everywhere. In her situation, it seemed she was destined for such a fate anywhere she went.

But as he said, she did want revenge!

That cruel woman who once gave her the illusion of affection—how warm it made her feel back then, and now, how much hate she harbored!!

How could she do this to her own daughter?

"Can you help me take revenge?" The Dragon Maiden looked at Chen Qing hesitantly.

She had witnessed the prowess of this human; he had managed to plot the demise of the Third Prince, even at a disadvantage. It was definitely rare, but her mother and Ao Xin, the Third Prince, were not on the same level. Behind her mother... was a force much more terrifying than the Dragon Palace!

"I have the chance to help you take revenge, and also to get you safely out of here." Chen Qing said plainly, "Isn’t that enough?"

"What do you want me to do?"

"First... help me locate Princess Chang of the West Sea’s position!"

"That’s not an easy place to go to..." The Dragon Maiden replied somberly, "Outside the Array, the one that guy wants to control is Princess Chang, Ao Zhen!"

Clearly, she was referring to Elder Shen, who was lurking with intent outside!

"Quite ambitious..." Chen Qing said with a smile, "I know that guy is trouble, but there’s no choice, eh? At this point, if we don’t take out these tough enemies, we probably won’t make it out..."

The Dragon Maiden:"...."

Trouble?

From what she had seen so far, the most troublesome one seemed to be him. The Dragon Maiden even had the feeling that this human was more dangerous than the huge Heavenly Ghost Octopus outside!
