Chapter 172: Chapter 106: The Fall of Prince Zhi!
The Little Poison quickly ca over.
After hearing Zhao Yi’s request, she unhesitatingly took out the Red Scorpion nad "Little Red".
Zhao Yi looked at the Red Scorpion and raised an eyebrow slightly.
This little creature seed to have unknowingly drank a lot of the Taotie’s blood recently, and it appeared to have advanced.
The originally bright red shell had turned a dark red, and the scorpion’s tail stinger was shining black, looking extrely poisonous.
Zhao Yi recalled the previous scene where this Red Scorpion detoxified the protagonist.
If the protagonist were stung by this scorpion again now, it would surely make him regret being alive.
After advancing, the Red Scorpion’s senses had beco more acute.
It circled around in the Little Poison’s palm and easily locked onto the protagonist’s location.
"Went south?"
Zhao Yi looked at the direction the Little Poison’s tail stinger pointed and asked her, "Can you determine the distance?"
The Little Poison shook her head: "Master, Little Red has no concept of length. It can only sense Brother Xiao Jing’s position, but can’t say how far away it is."
Zhao Yi thought for a mont and asked differently: "Little Red ca out of the West Mountain and went to Shengjing City for the first ti, so that mory should be the most vivid. Ask it, how many tis the distance from the West Mountain to Shengjing City it is from us to that monk now."
The Little Poison’s eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked the Red Scorpion.
"Ten!"
The Little Poison said excitedly, "Master, Little Red says Brother Xiao Jing is ten tis the distance from West Mountain to Shengjing City away from us."
The Little Poison was very happy.
Previously in the Secret Realm, she was busy eating Taotie’s at, and the protagonist walked too fast for her to call him over to kowtow to Zhao Yi.
This ti, Zhao Yi was specifically going to find the protagonist.
The Little Poison could talk to him then!
Miaoyin was like a living map.
Hearing the Little Poison’s words beside her, she imdiately deduced the approximate location of the protagonist.
Miaoyin said, "The distance from West Mountain to Shengjing City is one hundred li; that monk is ten tis the West Mountain to Shengjing City distance from here, which is one thousand li. A thousand li to the south from here... that monk is in the Yunng Swamp!"
Yunng Swamp?
Zhao Yi found the na sowhat familiar.
Linglong reminded beside him, "Your Highness, the Four Seas Comrce Association’s headquarters is located in Yunng Swamp!"
Zhao Yi suddenly understood.
No wonder the na sounded so familiar.
It was the headquarters of the Four Seas Comrce Association!
Although the Four Seas Restaurant and the Yao Family were both the hawks and hounds of the Zhao family, they didn’t get along.
Linglong showed disdain, "The Four Seas Comrce Association people planted a few trees on the outskirts of Yunng Swamp and shalessly claid Yunng Swamp as their territory. If not for being under the sa service to the court, our Yao family would have flattened Yunng Swamp long ago!"
Yunng Swamp is only a thousand li from the Yao Family, and they have always considered it part of their sphere of influence.
The Four Seas Comrce Association rely planted a few trees and claid Yunng Swamp; if not for the fear of angering so big figures in the Zhao family, the Yao Family would have wiped out the Four Seas Comrce Association long ago.
Zhao Yi only knew Yunng Swamp was the headquarters of the Four Seas Comrce Association and wasn’t aware of these backstories.
Zhao Yi mused, "If I threw a fish into the Four Seas, could I claim them as mine?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room looked at each other.
The Patriarch of the Yao Family, Yao Zhi, shalessly flattered, "Your Highness is wise! Your Highness, with just one command, I will go to the Four Seas and throw a fish for you."
Everyone turned their eyes sideways.
Linglong covered her face with her sleeve, unable to watch.
Yao Zhi ignored the peculiar glances around him.
Especially when faced with Linglong’s disdainful eyes, Yao Zhi was not ashad but proud.
Linglong, although smart, was still too young.
Face and dignity were illusions.
As soone else’s hawk or hound, it’s most important to cater to their preferences and please the master!
Zhao Yi thought for a mont but eventually gave up on the idea.
It wasn’t due to a newfound conscience.
Rather, Zhao Yi suddenly rembered that the Xuanzhen Temple and the Imperial Clan Court had already gone to the Four Seas.
The treasures of the Four Seas Dragon Race would soon be in his hands.
There was no need for him to act unnecessarily.
"It was just a joke," Zhao Yi said righteously, "I, as the Crown Prince of Great Xia, would never do such disgraceful things. Let this matter never be ntioned again!"
Yao Zhi imdiately donned a look of sha and bowed to Zhao Yi, sighing, "Your Highness has a noble character, even the snow lotus on Celestial Mountain can’t compare, and I am far inferior."
This ti, even Miaoyin couldn’t stand it.
She couldn’t take the pair’s bottomless entanglents and reminded Zhao Yi, "Crown Prince, didn’t you say ti was pressing earlier? Hurry up and set off, or that monk might disappear sowhere unknown!"
Zhao Yi then rembered the urgent matter.
He looked at Yao Zhi and nodded with satisfaction.
Now Zhao Yi understood why the Yao Family had been the Zhao family’s think tank for a thousand years.
These clever people truly knew how to handle things.
Just like Yao Zhi just now, he was clear where Zhao Yi’s itch was, and with just a few words, he’d greatly pleased Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi stood up and said to Yao Zhi, "I’m taking so people to Yunng Swamp. The Cultivation Conference will proceed as usual, and if anything cos up, send
a ssage via Ming Di."
Yao Zhi respectfully agreed.
Zhao Yi no longer hesitated and hurried southward with Miaoyin and the others.
anwhile.
A thousand li to the south, in Yunng Swamp.
The protagonist stood in an uninhabited forest, looking at the vast swamp full of haze in the distance, frowning deeply.
If he weren’t at the end of his rope, he would never have co here.
But!
A shadow crossed the protagonist’s eyes, his face heavy as water.
