576: The dragon blocks the way, the princess supports the light
Half an hour later.
General Mo Lian and the two others walked out of the stone house. She glanced at Xie Weilou and softly said, “Fellow Daoist, let’s set off now!”
“Alright.”
Xie Weilou smiled and nodded.
Now that he had the map given by the old village chief, he could find the location of Chitian Ancient Kingdom whether he followed the army or not. However, since it was on the way, it would be much simpler.
General Mo Lian gently waved her hand, directly leading Mo Feng and the young girl towards the ancient warship in the void.
“......”
Xie Weilou’s figure moved, quickly following.
On the ancient warship.
“Greetings, General!”
The soldiers saluted General Mo Lian.
They were Chitian Guard, the army guarding Chitian Ancient Kingdom, and General Mo Lian was a peculiar existence.
She came from the remote Yunluo Village, ventured into Chitian Ancient Kingdom alone, joined the Chitian Guard, accumulated merits, and continuously grew.
Eventually, she was taken as a disciple by a powerful expert of the Ancient Kingdom, giving her an extraordinary status.
These people greatly admired General Mo Lian.
General Mo Lian glanced at a room on the ancient warship, gave a salute, and then said, “Set off!”
Boom!
The ancient warship transformed into a streak of light, rushing into the distance.
“......”
Xie Weilou swept his gaze over that room; there was a Dragon Transformation Realm expert on this ancient warship.
General Mo Lian said to Xie Weilou, “Fellow Daoist, it will take half a month to reach Chitian Ancient Kingdom at the speed of this ancient warship.”
Xie Weilou smiled faintly, “No matter!”
The ancient warship was extremely fast, constantly shuttling through the clouds...
— — — — — —
Ten days later.
The ancient warship was still soaring above the Great Desert.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a roar came from ahead. A sky full of yellow sand rose, like a giant Great Desert curtain, blocking the path a thousand meters ahead.
“......”
General Mo Lian instantly drew her sword, and a ten-thousand-meter sword qi erupted, directly cleaving the Great Desert curtain apart, scattering the yellow sand.
As the yellow sand dispersed, a colossal ancient temple appeared. The ancient temple, bronze in color, stood in the Great Desert, reaching into the nine heavens, its aura like a rainbow.
“Hmm?”
General Mo Lian stared at the top of the ancient temple, her pupils involuntarily contracting.
At the top of the ancient temple, a young monk in a golden kasaya sat cross-legged. The aura emanating from him was extremely mysterious; she couldn't see through it.
General Mo Lian said in a deep voice, “May I ask, Great Master, why do you block our way?”
The young monk’s gaze fell on General Mo Lian, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes. He put his palms together, “Amitabha, this humble monk is Wuxiang of Tianku Temple. I have come not to block the Chitian Guard’s path, but to block the path of someone inside the warship.”
“......”
General Mo Lian’s gaze sharpened, and she immediately gripped her long sword tightly.
“Sister, this bald monk is a Dragon Transformation Realm (Mid-stage) expert. You are no match for him. Leave him to me.”
From inside the ancient warship, a soft voice sounded, and a woman in a fiery red long dress with an graceful figure walked out.
She was very beautiful, with long hair flowing freely, casually tied with a peach wood hairpin. Her skin was like congealed fat, her face like a delicate child’s, her demeanor enchanting, and a lazy aura permeated her.
“......”
As soon as this woman appeared, General Mo Lian and the soldiers all saluted.
This woman was not simple; her name was Your Highness Qin Fuguang, the Imperial Daughter of Chitian Ancient Kingdom, and also the next heir to the throne.
However, three years ago, she committed a major offense and was expelled from Chitian Ancient Kingdom.
“Dragon Transformation Realm Peak!”
Xie Weilou casually glanced at the woman.
Your Highness Qin Fuguang gently waved her hand, signaling everyone not to be overly polite. She stood at the bow of the ship, glanced at Wuxiang, and shook her head, “A Dragon Transformation Realm (Mid-stage) is simply not enough. Why don’t the others come out as well?”
As soon as she finished speaking, a man and a woman instantly appeared beside Wuxiang.
The man was burly, dressed in a red robe, holding a nine-section golden mace.
The woman was in a blue long dress, holding an exquisite long sword.
Both of them were Dragon Transformation Realm (Mid-stage) experts.
“Three Dragon Transformation Realm (Mid-stage) experts are still not enough!”
Your Highness Qin Fuguang said indifferently.
“What about with me?”
A young man in a white robe, holding a folding fan, elegant and handsome, appeared above the ancient temple. He toyed with his folding fan, looking at Your Highness Qin Fuguang with a composed expression.
“Third Prince!”
General Mo Lian and the others’ expressions changed slightly when they saw this young man.
This person was the Third Prince of Chitian Ancient Kingdom, Qin Juefeng. He had entered the Dragon Transformation Realm Peak at a young age and was also a prodigy of Chitian Academy.
Qin Juefeng looked at Your Highness Qin Fuguang and chuckled, “Sister, since you have already left Chitian Ancient Kingdom, why do you want to return? As long as you leave, I, your younger brother, will definitely not lay a hand on you! Many people don’t want you to return.”
Your Highness Qin Fuguang smiled lightly, “Oh? So eager to be the monarch?”
Qin Juefeng waved his folding fan and said with a rich smile, “Whether I want to be or not, it’s not up to me to decide. But Sister certainly cannot be, after all, three years ago you almost killed Father Emperor.”
Three years ago, Your Highness Qin Fuguang committed a major offense, which was attempting to murder her own Father Emperor, almost killing him, which led to her expulsion from the Ancient Kingdom.
“Heh!”
Your Highness Qin Fuguang waved her hand casually, and the peach wood hairpin in her hair flew into her hand, transforming into a peach wood sword. She chuckled, “Since that’s the case, then I’ll send you on your way first.”
Qin Juefeng’s smile was playful, “Since Sister wants to make a move, then I naturally must accompany you to the end!”
He then looked at Wuxiang and the two others, “I will deal with Your Highness Qin Fuguang. There’s no need to keep this Chitian Guard. Eliminate them all.”
Wuxiang’s expression was hesitant, “But General Mo Lian is the Academy Master’s disciple...”
Qin Juefeng pondered for a second, “Then capture her first and erase her memory later. As for the rest, kill them all.”
“Leave it to me.”
The blue-robed woman suddenly drew her sword, and a burst of sword qi instantly slashed towards the ancient warship.
Boom!
Your Highness Qin Fuguang casually waved her peach wood sword, and the sword qi was dispersed. She glanced at General Mo Lian, “I’ve implicated you all. I’d better send you away first! Then I’ll deal with them.”
With that, she flicked her sleeve, and a force enveloped the ancient warship, instantly shifting its position and rushing into the distance.
“Too late!”
Qin Juefeng smiled indifferently. With a flick of his finger, four mountain peaks flew out, instantly forming a large array that sealed off this area, immediately blocking the ancient warship’s path.
The ancient warship was forced to stop.
Your Highness Qin Fuguang looked at Qin Juefeng with a cold gaze, “It seems you really are seeking death.”
“Sister, there’s no need to waste energy on a group of irrelevant people. Come and fight with all your might!”
Qin Juefeng said with a faint smile.
General Mo Lian said in a deep voice, “Imperial Daughter, you don’t need to mind us.”
Whoosh!
Your Highness Qin Fuguang moved her finger, and a battle flag flew out, sticking into the ancient warship, forming a defensive shield to protect the ancient warship.
“Wait for me for half an incense stick’s time!”
After Your Highness Qin Fuguang finished speaking, she instantly charged towards Qin Juefeng.
“That’s more like it! The three of you go and deal with the people on that ancient warship. Remember, except for General Mo Lian, don’t let a single one of the others escape.”
Qin Juefeng’s smile was sinister. He waved his folding fan and directly attacked Your Highness Qin Fuguang.
“Amitabha!”
Wuxiang silently recited a Buddhist phrase. He put his palms together, flew into the sky, and the ancient temple below vibrated, then immediately slammed towards the ancient warship...
