"This guy actually chose this ti to co out..."
Shenyue was the first to notice Chen Qing, for she had spotted him in that position early on. There were many reasons she didn’t directly deal with him; Chen Qing’s Western Sea Army had already arrived, and if she killed Chen Qing, she would bear the hatred of the Western Sea Army, which would be disadvantageous for the later situation.
Chen Qing definitely had a backup plan, so she didn’t want to test that, giving others the chance to exploit the situation, but she also didn’t want him showing up at this ti.
At this ti, the Western Sea Army was actually helping her by blocking the Ancient Demon’s Guard Commander here, but... that’s because Chen Qing wasn’t there. If Chen Qing was present, she couldn’t predict what the Western Sea Army would do now, which was a variable she least wanted to see.
And then there was... that ’White Drawing’ Demon Statue, what exactly was its relationship with Chen Qing?
The Guard Commander also noticed Chen Qing, his brow furrowing deeply. Shenyue evidently ca prepared to capture him, and whether he could retreat safely was in question. At this ti, if Chen Qing intervened, it would complicate matters even further, especially considering Zi Yue!
He still wasn’t sure if it was his daughter or the Reincarnator inside Zi Yue’s body.
If it were the latter, Chen Qing would have a strong motive to act against him, because once he died, all the power of the Ancient Demon Clan would be inherited by Zi Yue!
All three forces were closely watching Chen Qing, but to their surprise, after pulling away, he had no intention of coming here but instead flew straight toward the Vermilion Bird Palace.
He left behind only a white-robed Magician to the Western Sea Army.
"Mr. Shen Qi, our lord?"
The Deputy General was the first to step forward, not understanding why their lord hadn’t co over imdiately. The Western Sea Army was like a dragon without a head, and General Tian Heng’s life and death were unknown; they urgently needed a leader to stabilize the troops. Why had their leader run off to the other side at this mont; what was the aning?
"Our lord has more important matters to attend to, we must rescue General Tian Heng as soon as possible."
The first words Shen Qi said upon arriving ward the hearts of all within the Western Sea Army.
The soldiers of the Western Sea Army were actually quite nervous, as they had truly almost followed the order from above and turned against Jiangnan...
Although Commander Tian Heng suddenly switched sides afterward, when facing Chen Qing, the Western Sea Army would still feel so restlessness. Whether Chen Qing would continue to use the Western Sea Army in the future was a question in everyone’s heart. They were all Tian Heng’s people and had enjoyed the top resources of Jiangnan. They were very clear that without Chen Qing’s strong support, they could never have achieved what they had now in terms of success and power
If Chen Qing disliked them, everyone knew that life would not be easy afterward. At this mont, with Chen Qing not appearing, most soldiers and officers were sowhat worried: had their lord lost trust in them?
But Shen Qi’s words at this ti put their hearts back in their stomachs, even filled with endless gratitude.
Right after breaking away, the lord thought of rescuing Marshal Tian; they had been too narrow-minded.
Shen Qi saw everyone’s expressions, sighing softly in his heart; these words were spoken on behalf of Chen Qing. In fact, he was also unclear why Chen Qing hadn’t led the Western Sea Army upon arrival, even leaving him behind.
Yes... just left behind.
When he took him away from that core fragnt, there was only one sentence: "There’s a dangerous thing over there, don’t follow , I cannot guarantee your safety, and if I can’t co back, you take the Western Sea Army and these kids back to Jiangnan imdiately," while handing over the Space fragnt containing the students from the Jiangnan Academy to him.
This made Shen Qi feel very uneasy...
He had never seen Chen Qing so apprehensive before.
Whether facing the Ancient Worm or later entering the Dragon Palace, he had never acted like this, feeling... as if he were arranging his affairs for after his death.
Was that White Drawing monster really so terrifying?
He did not understand why Chen Qing left without revealing a single word...
But still, he followed Chen Qing’s orders, ca here to stabilize the morale, and waited for news from Chen Qing.
He glanced at the distant Guard Commander, letting out a soft sigh.
The opportunity at this ti was actually quite good; by joining forces with Shenyue, they could eliminate the last of the high-ranking Ancient Demon Clan, Zi Yue would be able to lead the Ancient Demons, and even if Zi Yue refused to continue staying under Chen Qing afterward and wanted to form her own faction, they could still be valuable allies worthy of cooperation. It would be aningful for the survival of Jiangnan in the chaotic world in the future.
Hopefully, it’s not too late...

"Indeed, he has co..."
In the Paint World, the Emperor saw Chen Qing rushing over at high speed, a trace of a smile flickering across his face.
"Why were you so certain that he would definitely co?" asked the King of Qin, frowning.
"Because he cares about the people around him," the Emperor said with a smile. "Do you know why I didn’t trust you initially?"
"What are you trying to say?"
"I an to say... no matter how much you seed to care about the people around you, the essence within you couldn’t fool anyone." The Emperor looked seriously at the other: "Even when I was a child, you took an interest in ; you were the person I admired the most. Many things I know, I learned from you, naturally... including your cold indifference..."
"Indifferent, am I?" The King of Qin scoffed. "Have I ever wronged you and your sibling?"
"No..." the Emperor shook his head. "Therefore, I am guilty towards you, but I know that one day, you would eliminate my sibling and . To you, anyone can be sacrificed. No matter how passionate you seem, your aura is cold. Chen Qing is different; no matter how pragmatic he appears, his heart is warm."
"How can you tell?" The King of Qin frowned.
He had always been residing within Chen Qing, naturally knowing Chen Qing’s true nature. But how many tis had this Emperor t with Chen Qing?
"Sotis, to understand a person doesn’t take long, nor does it require them to do much to prove themselves. You don’t understand this, which is why you don’t have a confidant."
"Do you?" The King of Qin laughed angrily. How could this person, who even sacrificed his wedded wife, have the audacity to discuss morality with others?
"I didn’t say I am a good person..."
"So what if he cos?" The King of Qin looked coldly at the approaching Chen Qing. "Do you think... he can still turn the tide?"
"Your monstrous abilities are indeed terrifying. I still can’t think of any strategies that could break through your setup."
"Do you think Chen Qing can?"
"It is you who think..." the Emperor laughed. "It seems you haven’t noticed the expression on your face when you saw Chen Qing."
"You... are worried..."
The King of Qin: "......."
Indeed... he was worried. If there was anyone in this world who could break through the White Drawing, the founder Pu YunChuan was undoubtedly one, and Chen Qing... was the most crucial shadow in Pu YunChuan’s plan!
-------------------------------------
Damn... Why am I pushing myself this hard?
Chen Qing watched the Four Holy Army drawing closer and truly wished he could slap himself.
Was it really necessary to take this risk?
He had had this doubt for quite so ti.
Initially, he just wanted to survive, and with his current abilities, he could have definitely achieved that. Was it really necessary to get involved in this ss?
He knew very well how troubleso that damn White Drawing was because the monsters he created had a particularity: first, they were created, and only afterward were their weaknesses logically designed. Regrettably, the White Drawing was one of the monsters for which he had not yet designed a weakness!
Did the King of Qin not realize how dangerous this thing was?
No... he probably truly didn’t know. How could anyone possibly control it?
If he wasn’t careful today, everyone present could end up becoming re backdrops for the launching of the fourth version.
This thing... If his mory was correct, wasn’t just so simple ga NPC; this was...
