"Are you all using ?" Wang Wu finally realized belatedly.
"Please hold on, my lord."
Qu Shenglian smiled, bowed her head and whispered to the Giant Dragon for a mont before jumping down. First, she ticulously perford a hand salute, then continued, "Lord, you might be misunderstanding sothing. What Elder Liuyun said earlier was sowhat exaggerated. The old madman can’t really take on five people solo. At best, he can only achieve it by having the upper hand in the right environnt, taking the opponents by surprise. Zhuang Bufei sotis can’t even win against the old madman."
"As for Lu Tong, he himself admitted that he can sotis only beat eight Zhuang Bufei, but if there are five Zhuang Bufei and five old madn, he would undoubtedly lose. As for , I’m really quite ordinary."
Is this boasting or sarcasm?
Wang Wu finally seriously looked at Qu Shenglian. Her beauty was indeed exceptional, but he truly found himself uninterested in her, perhaps due to so Divine Talent, or simply a lack of interest.
But now, he sowhat understood why.
"Are you of the Dragon Race?"
A trace of surprise flashed across Qu Shenglian’s face before she broke into a smile, "It seems your Danger Perception Talent has leveled to 27. That’s correct, my lord. You descend from the Sin Bears of the Mang Mountain Ancient Bear Race, while I am a Sinful Dragon of the Cyan Dragon Race, which is being hunted. I was once one of the Sinful Dragons sold aboard this Spirit-Catching Ship, tasked with pulling the sail. Then my master discovered , took in, transford , and even accepted as a disciple. So I am not Qu Shenglian, I should be called Qingxiao, ranking forty-ninth on the Nine Alliances, Three Conferences, and Two Sects’ wanted list as a Wandering Taiyi."
"As for my strength, it’s just barely a draw with Lu Tong, and occasionally I can defeat Elder Liuyun. My path is the Path of diocrity."
"However, my admiration for you, my lord, is as endless as the waters of the Milky Way, and I admire you wholeheartedly, not for any other reason but because you can beco the Lord of the Frost Realm and earn my master’s recognition, which is incredibly difficult."
"Honestly, I have been wanting to daringly ask, what do you rely on, my lord?"
Wang Wu did not want to speak anymore. Thinking back, Lord Frost Monarch was indeed too kind to him. Is this a subtle plot to kill him with kindness?
But it shouldn’t be. Practicing the Path of Sincerity requires utmost sincerity.
Moreover, can this Qu Shenglian—no, this Qingxiao actually defeat Shuang Liuyun?
What kind of monsters does Lord Frost Monarch have under her, and she seems to enjoy reforming these deeply sinful Wandering Taiyi by sheer virtue.
So could it be that Feng Muhai also has a thrilling past?
"My lord, don’t overthink it. The old madman may be crazy, but he hails from a prestigious family, a genuine Feng Family scion, unlike us. Of course, he is also loyal to the master, to the Frost Realm, and holds you in the sa admiration and awe! Moreover, please, my lord, keep this confidential. I am not Qingxiao, I am Qu Shenglian."
"Alright then, what exactly are you hiding in this gourd? What is the plan, truly, why drive Shuang Liuyun away?" Wang Wu sighed, feeling confused and lost.
"Because of interests!" Qu Shenglian’s expression turned solemn.
"My lord might think that since we are one family, everything can be discussed amicably, yet even blood brothers must keep accounts clear."
"The Frost Domain twenty thousand years ago was only a mid-level family power ranked below thirty within the Hidden Origin Association. Not high or low, neither good nor bad, diocre at best, until my master erged and what you see now, my lord, the Frost Domain has beco easily one of the top five powers within the Hidden Origin Association."
"However, this has divided the Frost Domain into different factions, those of the Shuang Family and us who follow the master. In our view, everything the Frost Domain is now, was built by us followers of the master."
"The Shuang Family, however, thinks that without us, without our family, you’d be nothing."
"Do you know why Lu Tong was suddenly betrayed this ti? His identity was hidden so well, yet Liu Shengxuan suddenly found out. Internal traitors are hard to guard against!"
"And do you know why Liu Shengxuan investigated Lu Tong in the first place? Because the Frost Domain’s Spirit Tax had not been paid in full or on ti for fifty years, which is a major cri within the Hidden Origin Association in every sense. But the Spirit Tax from the Frost Domain is divided into three channels—one part paid by the Outer Heaven, one by the Frost Domain itself, and one by the Spirit-Catching Ship."
"The part that was in arrears was precisely from the Spirit-Catching Ship. At the ti, we were caught off guard, very embarrassed. This is sothing you personally witnessed, my lord, and it was precisely when you generously intervened, turning the tide, saving Lu Tong’s life, and also saving the Frost Domain!"
"The Shuang Family people never believed my master was injured, or they did believe it, then they made this move, which was why they made a precise strike against Lu Tong."
"In summary, the internal traitor indeed cos from the Shuang Family."
"Thus, because you wish to undergo trials, my lord, we made arrangents for you to board this Spirit-Catching Ship. Originally, we didn’t expect Shuang Liuyun to be so easily scared, but indeed, she has a guilty conscience. Most likely she is the internal traitor!"
"In short, that’s everything. We need to regain control of the Spirit-Catching Ship. Honestly speaking, this Spirit-Catching Ship was personally built by my master. One word from you here, my lord, is more useful than Shuang Liuyun."
Hearing this, Wang Wu finally sowhat understood.
"But I’ve already leaked the news that Lu Tong isn’t dead. What should be done now?"
"No worries, Lu Tong has already been publicly executed in form, indisputably so, and the Hidden Origin Association cannot challenge this procedurally. Otherwise, it would have to question its entire systematic process. And as long as Cyan Frost City remains under our control, no one can penetrate the Inner Domain to find him. But relying solely on Zhuang Bufei and Feng Muhai won’t suffice. I need to return to oversee it."
"Previously, that wretched Shuang Liuyun ran off without hesitation hearing I arrived. Next, the Shuang Family will surely focus on Cyan Frost City, so it will still require you, my lord, to personally oversee the Spirit-Catching Ship, and the Shuang Family might still tamper with the Spirit-Catching Ship. Please be cautious, my lord."
"Wait, is it already this serious?" Wang Wu was taken aback.
Qu Shenglian sighed deeply, "My lord, don’t be naive. Just like your Mang Mountain Ancient Bear Race, two blood brothers, yet one family utterly wiped out the other, the elderly, won, and children all thrown into the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower. Similarly, my father and brother drove to extinction. When the interests are big enough, anything is possible."
"Understand the brutal nature of such struggles deeply, my lord, do not harbor any illusions!"
"rcy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself."
"In short, all will be well when my master exits seclusion. The Shuang Family only wants to eliminate us, thinking that if they get rid of us, the master would have to rely only on the Shuang Family and thereby significantly train Shuang Family disciples."
"Of course, my lord can choose to cautiously believe our words or even doubt our motives. However, the Spirit-Catching Ship is a crucial asset of the Frost Domain. Do you think it would be better in your hands, or in Shuang Liuyun’s hands?"
"The answer you know best. In the future, we will do two things. We must retain control of Cyan Frost City, and you, my lord, must secure the Spirit-Catching Ship. The right and wrong will naturally beco clear when my master exits seclusion."
"My lord, the twenty-four Sinful Dragons on this ship are actually all bought back by . Though called Sinful Dragons, they are my beloved relatives and friends. I trust you understand what this ans, my lord, so if you are unhappy, you can scold or punish them, but when it matters, they will certainly not falter!"
"Qingluo!"
"Sister!"
A Giant Dragon responded and descended, transforming into a young girl, her voice sowhat familiar, oh, she was one of the Cricket Dragons.
"My lord, this is my sister Qingluo, dragged down by , she will assist you next. When there’s trouble, she will take charge of the Spirit-Catching Ship, and when there isn’t, you will. Don’t be courteous, my lord, presumably having another concubine won’t bother you."
"My lord, take care! Because Shuang Liuyun was right about one thing, this journey of trials will indeed be very adventurous for you."
Leaving these bold words behind, Qu Shenglian hurriedly left.
It truly was terrifying!
