518: Chapter Knights go out, Xu Qian's determination

The Dream Master quietly gazed at General Wang Lian before him, his low voice seemingly coming from a deep valley.

However, the moment General Wang Lian's eyes met the Dream Master's, his pupils violently contracted, as if struck by a bolt of lightning.

The Dream Master had seen countless people and deeply researched the dreams of innumerable humans, arguably discerning the emotions contained in almost all gazes in the world.

“It seems you know me?”

The Dream Master's lips curved slightly upward, revealing a meaningful smile.

General Wang Lian stared intently at the Dream Master before him, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Especially when his gaze fell upon the Dream Master's bizarre smiling mask, his throat unconsciously bobbed, and he swallowed with difficulty.

Despite the shock in his heart, he forced himself to remain calm and replied, “K-Know... My boss once mentioned you to us.”

Hearing this, the Dream Master raised an eyebrow with interest and pressed, “Oh? If that's the case, why won't you tell me directly?”

Facing the Dream Master's aggressive questioning, a fine layer of sweat gradually appeared on General Wang Lian's forehead.

He clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails digging deep into his palms to relieve his inner tension.

After repeated hesitation, General Wang Lian finally gritted his teeth and resolutely shook his head, saying, “Not yet, I can't tell you!”

After saying this, he simply closed his eyes, adopting a look of facing death unflinchingly, as if he had prepared to face any consequences.

“If you don't tell me where your boss is, he might die, you know?”

“What?!”

General Wang Lian was startled by the Dream Master's words and suddenly widened his eyes to look at the other person.

But the moment their eyes met, he saw the Dream Master's eyes, which were like a galaxy.

In an instant, he only felt his mind turn chaotic, but after just a moment, he woke up as if from a dream, looking at the Dream Master with a face full of shock.

“You...”

The Dream Master, however, ignored him and grabbed General Wang Lian, breaking through the air towards a certain direction.

“Corpse Ancestor Ning Qiancheng, not bad at all, daring to cause a ruckus in the Great Eagle Country alone!”

General Wang Lian's face drastically changed as he looked at the direction of flight; he knew that in the moment he had lost his focus, the person in front of him must have taken advantage of the opening.

Because this direction was precisely where Ning Qiancheng was hiding.

“Hey, let go of me!”

General Wang Lian shouted, trying to break free from the Dream Master's control, but as expected, he made no progress.

“Shut up!”

With a thought from the Dream Master, General Wang Lian's body trembled and he collapsed directly.

However, the Dream Master did not kill him, but merely put him to sleep for a while.

On the other side, inside the National Assembly, Andre suddenly opened his eyes. He looked in a certain direction, a solemn look flashing in his eyes.

“They're dead? Did a King Realm Expert make a move?”

He was referring to those who had gone to apprehend General Wang Lian; Andre had placed means on them, and if anything unexpected happened, he could sense it immediately.

Just now, he clearly sensed that the legendary Magician of his National Assembly had lost contact with him.

Immediately, he picked up his staff, and a brilliant blue crystal ball appeared in his hand.

As he continuously input magic, the scene of the Dream Master attacking those people slowly emerged within the blue crystal ball.

“This is!”

Upon seeing the smiling mask, his pupils also shook, after all, the Li Wuji of that time had left an extremely deep impression on him.

Had Elisaya and Constantine not arrived in time, he might have already died at the other party's hands.

But Andre quickly noticed something different; the aura of the person who appeared in the crystal ball was not very strong.

Compared to that person from back then, it was a world of difference; they should have only recently entered the King Realm.

“Damn it, what kind of place is my Great Eagle Country, that anyone can come and cause trouble?”

The next moment, Andre cast another magic spell, condensing three light gates in mid-air. Shortly after, three figures walked out from within the light gates.

Their auras were powerful, and they were also King Realm Experts!

“Greetings, Lord Andre!”

Andre nodded with satisfaction. These three were the Tenth Seat, Eleventh Seat, and Twelfth Seat of the twelve great Knights of the Round Table.

“Someone wants to disrupt my Great Eagle; you know what to do!”

“Yes, we will clear out all heretics!”

The three cupped their hands and accepted the order. Andre shot a beam of light into the minds of the three.

“Go, bring back the other party's corpse!”

“We take our leave!”

......

In a manor in a certain suburb of the Great Eagle Country, Ning Qiancheng's body was enveloped in corpse qi. His aura was slowly rising, estimated to break through to the King Realm soon.

Beside him, the drought zombie Xu Qian quietly guarded him, her crimson beautiful eyes filled with worry.

Suddenly, as if she sensed something, her figure flashed and appeared above the manor.

Looking into the distance, she could feel General Wang Lian's aura rapidly approaching.

However, Xu Qian did not show joy; instead, she was extremely solemn, because the other three had gone out to attract the attention of the Great Eagle Country.

It was absolutely impossible for them to return at this time, and this speed was too fast, something General Wang Lian could not possibly possess.

She had already made the worst assumption: General Wang Lian was captured, and someone used special means to obtain the location here.

“Why now of all times?!”

A hint of indescribable bitter smile slowly appeared on Xu Qian's beautiful face.

However, in the very next instant, her eyes suddenly became incredibly resolute, as if she had made some major decision.

“I hope you can truly succeed in leading everyone to safely evacuate from here... And, I hope you absolutely do not forget me!”

Along with this soft murmur, Xu Qian's body suddenly underwent astonishing changes.

Her originally slender and long figure instantly began to swell and change.

A layer of dark red cuticle quietly covered her body like armor, shimmering with chilling light.

Not only that, but even her long, dark, and beautiful hair turned into vibrant wine red in the blink of an eye, flying wildly, like burning flames.

And the rolling heat waves emanating from her entire body were like surging waves, spreading outwards one after another.

At this moment, Xu Qian had already entered her zombie form.

In this state, her strength was greatly enhanced, and her might directly soared to the Late Stage of the Martial Lord Realm.

Relying solely on her powerful and unparalleled physical strength, she was even capable of contending with a Half-King Realm Expert!
