321: Chapter 321 Qingyan's Plan Fails, Cui Wanjun Escapes

Yu Chanjuan, Bai Luo, and Gu Qinglian looked at each other, their hearts filled with vigilance.

They were not blind; naturally, they could see the greed in General Qingyan's eyes—it wasn't even the slightest bit concealed!

If they entered General Qingyan's residence, it would certainly be entering a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, and whether they could come back out would be unknown.

"It seems we chose wrongly and have arrived at a tiger's lair," Gu Qinglian sighed inwardly and transmitted her voice.

"Our current situation can be described as wolves in front and tigers behind. Let's stall for time with him first, then see how the situation develops," Yu Chanjuan thought to herself.

Gu Qinglian pondered for a moment, then cupped her hands toward General Qingyan: "We have long heard that there are rare Opportunities on the Island of Creation, and we three came here specifically to witness these Opportunities."

"Judging by General Qingyan's words just now, it seems your noble tribe's Her Majesty is currently undergoing a baptism of Opportunity?"

"Our intention is to ask the General to take us to see the scene of Her Majesty receiving the baptism; even a distant view would suffice."

"Afterward, we can go to General Qingyan's residence for a short rest. What does the General think?"

Their goal now was very clear: to stall for as much time as possible and wait for Lin Ran to arrive.

As long as Lin Ran arrived, what would this mere Spirit Snake Clan amount to?

Qingyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of vigilance arose in his heart as well.

Although he was lecherous, he was not stupid. How could he easily take Human Race women to watch Her Majesty receive the baptism of Opportunity?

What if the three of them were sent by the Human Race from the outside world to gather intelligence?

"Qingyan, Her Majesty is summoning us to act as her Protectors. What are you doing here?"

At this moment, another powerhouse of the Spirit Snake Clan arrived, wearing black armor, holding a long halberd, with monstrous Evil Qi surging around him. He was also a powerhouse of the Divine Fire Realm!

"Her Majesty is summoning us to be Protectors?" "Damn it! Why at a time like this..." The latter sentence was Qingyan complaining in his heart.

Her Majesty didn't summon them earlier or later, but chose now to summon them as Protectors. Wasn't this ruining his good deed?

He had been planning to trick Yu Chanjuan and the others back to his residence, or perhaps use force to seize and suppress them. But now, Her Majesty had completely disrupted his plans.

"These three are beings from the Human Race. Because they are curious about our Spirit Snake Clan's Opportunities, they want to watch the scene of Her Majesty receiving the baptism of Opportunity," Qingyan mused.

"Human Race women?" Ziming looked at Yu Chanjuan and the others with an indifferent gaze. Although he was surprised by their appearance, that was all. He was devoted to the Dao and never indulged in female companionship.

"In that case, bring them along," Ziming said indifferently.

He had considered many things; given the cultivation of Yu Chanjuan and the others, if they dared to make any suspicious moves under his nose, he would ruthlessly wipe them out.

Moreover, since the three had come here specifically, if they truly harbored ulterior motives, it would be impossible for him to just let them leave. Controlling them and waiting for Her Majesty's judgment was the most correct choice.

Hearing Ziming's words, a flash of unwillingness crossed Qingyan's eyes.

Clearly, he understood the significance of Ziming agreeing to take the three to see Her Majesty; it was nothing more than waiting for the baptism to finish and then letting Her Majesty deal with them.

In this way, while his petty schemes weren't completely ruined, they were close to it. After all, Her Majesty held a particular hatred for the Human Race!

Qingyan sighed inwardly with reluctance. With Her Majesty calling for them now, he dared not entertain other thoughts and could only agree to Ziming's suggestion.

Just as Ziming was about to leave, his gaze suddenly sharpened. He turned toward the Void Realm: "It seems there is more than just the three young ladies as guests from the outside world today."

"Are you going to come out yourself, or shall we 'invite' you out?"

Qingyan turned abruptly, his entire body radiating Killing Intent: "There's someone else?!"

"There is no need to trouble you, Seniors; I will come out myself." A youth slowly walked out from the Void Realm, his expression carrying a hint of gravity. This person was none other than Cui Wanjun, who had been hunting Yu Chanjuan and the others!

He had originally wanted to leave quietly, but he hadn't expected to be detected by Ziming.

"Is this person a friend of the three young ladies?" Ziming glanced coldly at Cui Wanjun and asked.

"No, we are enemies, not friends. Moreover, as far as I know, he seems very interested in the Opportunities on Spirit Snake Island. Perhaps he is the one harboring ulterior motives by coming to Spirit Snake Island this time!" Gu Qinglian's eyes darted, and she quickly said.

Ziming's sharp, deep eyes looked at Gu Qinglian, and he chuckled: "Regardless, we will just take everyone to see Her Majesty."

How could he not see that this was Gu Qinglian's petty scheme to use a borrowed knife to kill? But he didn't care; regardless of whether Cui Wanjun harbored ulterior motives, he would just take everyone to see Her Majesty!

Cui Wanjun ignored Ziming and instead turned to look at Gu Qinglian, smiling without warmth: "Not bad, your mind is quite flexible. Even at a time like this, you don't forget to use a borrowed knife to kill. It's a pity this trick of yours is ineffective against me."

"You can hide here well; I hope you can hide for a lifetime." After saying that, he turned and left without hesitation.

"Stop!" Ziming's expression turned cold. He reached out his right hand, and vast magical power surged forth, intending to suppress Cui Wanjun.

Who would have thought that Cui Wanjun would be completely unruffled? Without looking back, he tossed out a bronze-colored compass.

The compass hovered above everyone's heads, spinning at high speed and rapidly expanding, blooming with dazzling brilliance. Terrifying Dao rhymes and Laws rippled out in circles.

Under this pressure, even powerhouses as strong as Ziming and Qingyan of the Divine Fire Realm found it difficult to move, let alone Yu Chanjuan and the others.

"Yu Chanjuan, we shall meet again." Cui Wanjun looked back at Yu Chanjuan, a meaningful smile hanging on the corners of his lips.

After Cui Wanjun left, the bronze-colored compass fell to the ground with a "clatter." Its power instantly dissipated, and it gradually turned into powder.

"It seems to be a one-time use Magic Treasure. For this kid to be able to bring out such a Magic Treasure, his background must be significant. It's a pity we let him run." Ziming shook his head.

"Forget it, let's go act as Protectors for Her Majesty first. I presume Her Majesty is already impatient," Qingyan urged.

He had pretty much let it go by now. Since it was difficult to make a move on Yu Chanjuan and the others, he might as well go and admire their Her Majesty's beauty.

You must know that Her Majesty usually lived in seclusion and was generally very difficult to see. Being able to admire Her Majesty's stunning beauty was indeed a fortunate event in life.

Yu Chanjuan and the others looked at each other, then nodded secretly and followed behind Ziming, walking toward the depths of the Island of Creation.
