The most feared thing has happened!

The faces of the Shen Family turned deathly cold in an instant...

Compared to some Outer Giant Python, the thing inside Jiangnan is the real hidden danger.

Even a King Level Celestial Serpent, with the barriers prepared by Chen Qing earlier and strengthened by the military formation, would not be entirely without resistance; but this internal threat is different!

The Western Sea Dragon King, one of the ancient fierce beasts of old, had once captured members of the Human Race for hundreds of thousands of years. He is an existence countless times more dangerous than the so-called Outer Giant Python in terms of strength, background, and cunning!

"What’s happening? Where are the West Sea Aquatic Tribe?"

"I don’t know..." said the pale-faced, terrified soldier. "Vice General Bai who was in charge of guarding the Dragon Palace contacted the West Sea’s Aquatic Race right away, but there has been no response!"

"What’s the situation now?" Shen San calmly reassured from the side: "Don’t panic, take your time..."

"The barrier has been destroyed..." the soldier rushed to say, "All the barriers set by Lady Ziyue have been destroyed.

The West Sea Dragon Palace is in chaos; many monsters suddenly appeared, and Vice General Bai has already led the Western Sea Army to confront them, asking me to request support. .."

"Requesting support..." The Shen Family looked at each other; where could they possibly offer support from within Jiangnan now?

Jiangnan’s rise in recent years provided them with an army that’s rare in the current world, but due to its rapid expansion, it still wasn’t sufficient. As for now, the Warrior Army totals 300,000, including 50,000 elites, half of which were taken by Lady Ziyue to the south seas.

Xuu Hu leads ten thousand elites and one hundred thousand auxiliary troops in Beihai City; In the southeast, there are also fifty thousand Warrior Army members stationed, and including the troops positioned in the West Sea Dragon Palace, there are almost no large-scale military forces left within the interior parts of Jiangnan, aside from the city guards responsible for city defense.

"We can only utilize the Shadow Soldiers for support," Shen San frowned, "But if the Shadow Soldiers are taken away, the interior of Jiangnan would be completely empty... especially Lyuzhou..."

Everyone looked at Wei Gongcheng, who had a pained expression on his face, their own faces twisted with conflict.

Although they do have some Shadow Soldiers, which are usually used to chase Evil Spirits on a daily basis, the scale is not large.

Nanming Prefecture and Nanyang City, being major cities, have some - only about two to three thousand.

Adding those recently trained by Shen Shiyi, there are barely only over ten thousand in total, which is far less than the defenses at Lyuzhou by more than tenfold.

Speaking of support now, Wei Gongcheng is the most crucial individual.

"May I know what the situation is like?" the woman suddenly spoke up.

Second Elder Shen and Shen San exchanged glances, and finally, Shen San briefly explained the situation.

"You’ve trapped the Western Sea Dragon King? I’ll go... you guys are quite capable." The woman showed interest suddenly: "This is just the first version, right? You managed to control the Western Sea Dragon King, I haven’t heard of such a tactic before."

"Lady..." Shen San looked at the woman, who still didn’t seem very anxious, and said: "You and His Majesty know each other from the past, and you also know about the Nine Heavens Mirror; perhaps you could help us?"

"What do you want me to do?" the woman asked curiously.

Second Elder Shen frowned; they didn’t know the full capabilities of this woman, even less about what she could do.

"Could you possibly save our Official Wei?"

"Him?" The woman looked at Wei Gongcheng and then shook her head: "It’s troublesome, the Evil Spirit that invaded him is not simple. In theory, members of the Divine Path Sect’s Hell Ruler should not be able to be possessed by Evil Spirits, not even by the Ghost King, unless it’s..."

"Lady, do you know something?" Shen San quickly asked.

"Is he very important?"

"Only he can dispatch troops to support the West Sea!" Second Elder Shen also said: "Otherwise, if that individual from the Dragon Palace breaks free, you must also know the consequences."

"That is indeed troublesome..." The woman nodded: "I can try, but I need some time."

"Approximately how long?"

"Half a day..." The woman estimated.

"In that case..." Second Elder Shen looked at Shen San and said, "Old San, you stay here to accompany this senior, I will take people to scout the West Sea Dragon Palace."

"Second Brother, you?" Shen San was stunned.

Going to the West Sea now, isn’t it just like seeking death?

"Don’t worry...." Second Elder Shen smiled and said: "Although the Dragon Palace is in chaos, the situation is not as exaggerated as you think. The Dragon King, no matter how powerful, needs a large amount of Blood Essence Stones for revival. Although I don’t know who sabotaged the array, reviving the Dragon King would at least require a lot of blood resources. They still need some time; it won’t be so soon. "

"But even so, it’s still too dangerous for you to go alone..."

The Dragon Palace is not Nanming Prefecture. Although Second Brother is a Hell Ruler of Nanming Prefecture, equal in rank to Wei Gongcheng, once he leaves Nanming Prefecture, his strength is far inferior to Xuu Hu. The safest approach at this time should be to call back Xuu Hu.

"Why not call back Fifth Brother..." Shen Shiyi suggested.

Upon hearing this, Shen San also nodded: "Bringing back Old Five seems appropriate."

After undergoing Dragon Transformation, Old Five’s strength almost rivaled Ao Zhen, and during his best battle performance, he managed to stay in fight with Ao Zhen for up to three hundred rounds, which should make him the strongest below Tian Heng and Xuu Hu.

"Old Five can’t come back..." Second Elder Shen shook his head: "Tian Heng is very ambitious. Without Old Five supervising, he might actually do something like backstabbing an ally. I don’t agree with Tian Heng’s plan.

At this time, it’s better to have the Imperial Court taking some pressure off us than facing enemies on all sides. "

"But Second Brother..."

"It’s alright, your Second Brother has also been through tempests before. I’m not that easy to kill. Just wait for my news..."

The woman nodded slightly as she watched their conversation, thinking to herself - Chen Qing’s subordinates are quite reliable.

What a pity...

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

"It seems that it worked over there..."

Deep within the West Sea Dragon Palace, in that exceedingly dark abyss, the Western Sea Dragon King, sealed by black Mystic Ice, spoke in a hoarse voice as he looked at his subordinate who was reporting to him.

"Your Majesty, is it really time now? That woman has left quite a few good things to guard against us..."

The voice speaking was charming, belonging to a pure Naga Sea Monster. Those familiar with the species in the Dragon Palace knew this was a senior sea monster of a level comparable to True Dragons, extremely rare.

Today, only one has been revived to maintain the Spirit Field of the West Sea. This sea monster, having been thawed, behaved quite obediently but was still being cautiously watched. Unexpectedly, it still managed to communicate secretly with the Dragon King.

"That woman is indeed remarkable; in just a few years, she has developed our Dragon Palace’s techniques to this extent, especially the Flaming Sun Array. If there’s enough energy, even stopping King Level wouldn’t be a problem!"

"Of course, impressive...." the Dragon King sneered: "A person who has been specially marked by a High Envoy, how could she be inferior? Don’t look at how weak she appears now; back in that big battle, our ancestors didn’t even qualify to sit at the table."

"Since that’s the case... why still..."

"Because back then they lost!" the Dragon King coldly stated: "Would you... stand on the side of a loser?"

As he said this, he looked towards the distant collapsing array fluctuations: "Look at that, so many arrays are collapsing, what do you think caused it?"

"Are you referring to... that woman named Ziyue?"

"Exactly..." the Western Sea Dragon King slowly closed his eyes and said: "They couldn’t overcome it back then, and it’s the same now. How is the preparation for the Blood Essence Stones coming along?"

"Almost done, please be patient. By half a day, you will regain your freedom."

"Freedom?" The Western Sea Dragon King scoffed: "We beings, where do we have any freedom? From birth, our limits have been locked. In this life... we are just transitional beings for others. To change that, we must seize the body of a designer. This is a rare opportunity in a thousand years. Our clan, back then, only succeeded with one individual. Today’s opportunity is no different from back then; we must not miss it! !"
