This tender moment deeply touched Shen Qing, and she couldn't help wiping away her tears.
Yao Yue and Ling Zhou hugged each other tightly. After a long separation, their eyes met, filled with affection. All those days and nights of longing had now turned into a smile that held a thousand words.
Shen Qing loved seeing such tender moments. She couldn't help sighing, "It's so nice."
"Phew... Another task completed."
Qin Si's voice suddenly came from behind Shen Qing. Sensing something was wrong, Shen Qing quickly turned around and found that Qin Si had revealed his true form. He was standing there with his arms crossed over his chest, looking at her in a nonchalant way.
"Qin Si?"
Qin Si raised his eyebrows at Shen Qing and showed a sly smile at the corner of his mouth. "What? Didn't expect me to be this handsome, did you?"
Shen Qing sized Qin Si up and down.
Qin Si was dressed in black from head to toe. If he stood with the Dark Wolf, one black and one white, they would look like the Black and White Impermanence from the Underworld.
Qin Si's face was even more evil - looking than Ji Zhongming's. When his slanting eyes drooped, they were full of fierceness, but when his thin lips curled up slightly, there was a hint of unruly charm in his eyes.
Shen Qing met Qin Si's pitch - black eyes and felt as if she was about to be deeply trapped and indulge in them.
Then Shen Qing slapped him and said coldly, "Stop using your magic on me."
Qin Si's head tilted to one side. Although Shen Qing didn't use much strength, Qin Si acted as if he was really hurt. He pushed his tongue against his cheek, curled his lips, and locked his meaningful eyes on Shen Qing.
"You're quite alert."
Suddenly, as if sensing something, Qin Si's ears twitched. He suddenly leaned forward, and his high - bridged nose almost touched Shen Qing's cheek.
He hooked a strand of Shen Qing's hair with his slender finger and whispered ambiguously in her ear, "See you next time."
Then his figure disappeared on the spot.
Shen Qing was just feeling puzzled when she noticed that the air pressure here seemed to have dropped a bit.
"Shen Qing..."
Li Xian's voice came. Shen Qing quickly turned around and saw that Li Xian's face was as black as coal. The Dark Wolf beside him was gloatingly laughing.
The White Dragon and the Golden Dragon were looking at them with teasing eyes.
Oh no...
Li Xian had seen it...
Shen Qing's head buzzed, and she wanted to cry but had no tears.
Wasn't it just that she didn't pay Qin Si? Why did he have to take revenge like this? It was too cruel.
The White Dragon coughed twice and quickly tried to smooth things over. "Alright, the pursuing troops outside have gathered. It's not safe to stay here for long. Let's leave quickly."
Everyone quickly left the room. Shen Qing glanced at Ji Zhongming lying on the ground and quickly shouted at Li Xian's retreating back, "Li Xian, wait..."
The moment Li Xian heard Shen Qing's voice, he instantly turned around. There was a glimmer of expectation hidden in his dark and unclear eyes.
But then that glimmer of expectation was shattered because Shen Qing said, "Can you find a way to take Ji Zhongming's body with us?"
Li Xian's face turned even darker. He roughly took out a talisman, wrapped Ji Zhongming's body tightly, casually put it away, and then turned around and walked out aggressively.
Shen Qing had a bitter face and quickly caught up.
Outside, before Shen Qing could say a few words to Li Xian, she saw a large number of demon soldiers rushing over.
Shen Qing had no choice but to take out the flying boat, quickly called everyone onto it, and then drove the flying boat into the sky.
The Dark Wolf calculated the direction and pointed to the north of the back gate of the Purple Emperor Palace. "Go that way. If we go a bit further, we'll be near the North Sea."
Shen Qing nodded and quickly concentrated on driving the flying boat.
Yao Yue and Ling Zhou had been trapped in the Demon Realm during this period, so they didn't know what had happened outside or why they were going to the North Sea.
So the Dark Wolf acted as a commentator again. He introduced the White Dragon and the Golden Dragon to Yao Yue and Ling Zhou and also told them what had happened in the Nine Desolate Continent during this period.
After knowing the identities of the White Dragon and the Golden Dragon, Ling Zhou and Yao Yue showed respect on their faces and were about to bow to them, but they were stopped.
The two dragons were also quite helpless. They bravely explained again that although they were dragon gods, their status in the Heavenly Realm was not high.
Moreover, this catastrophe in the Nine Desolate Continent was caused by the younger generation of the Dragon Clan. How could they accept others' bows with pride? They were already very grateful that others didn't blame them.
Shen Qing and her group were hurrying towards the North Sea.
On the other side, Po Guang led the Azure Dragon and the Flaming Dragon to join the Nether White Wolf Clan.
They hid in a secret realm. This secret realm was isolated by the Dark Wolf with a secret method, so they weren't afraid of being found by the people from the Main God's Temple.
Po Guang let the old, the weak, and the children of the clan continue to hide in the secret realm. Then he selected strong and brave warriors to form a team and went to the Extreme Cold Glacier with the Azure Dragon and the Flaming Dragon.
After the Flaming Dragon's cultivation awakened, its innate ability of void jump also returned. So under the leadership of the Flaming Dragon, the Nether White Wolf Clan used this ability to greatly shorten the time to reach the Extreme Cold Glacier.
Both teams were moving forward smoothly towards their destinations.
In the Main God's Temple.
Han Ze let Nan Zhijin and Pei Xuanjing act as the commanders - in - chief to start mustering troops.
The demon soldiers and demons all over the Nine Desolate Continent were even more unscrupulous in hunting down the cultivators.
The cultivators who couldn't dodge in time were brutally killed, while those who were temporarily hiding in safe places didn't even dare to show their heads, for fear of being discovered by the people from the Main God's Temple.
The major sects hidden in the space were also integrating resources and gathering their disciples, preparing to fight back.
After the calm, the storm was coming...
The flying boat flew north all the way, and the people on it got to know each other better during the conversation.
Ling Zhou suddenly thought of something. "Lord White Dragon, Lord Golden Dragon, may I ask if you've been to the North Sea?"
The White Dragon and the Golden Dragon first nodded and then shook their heads.
Everyone was puzzled.
The White Dragon explained, "I believe you've all heard the legend about the North Sea. There is a fish in the north named Kun. The place where the Kun - Peng is located is called the Mountain of the Nether Capital. The North Sea is deep and black, and it is the place where the spiritual power of the world converges. Therefore, there are countless spiritual beasts and demons born in the North Sea."
"And the Dragon Clan and the Mermaid Clan also originated from the North Sea."
"After becoming gods, the five of us once went to the North Sea to look for something for personal reasons. Unfortunately, we never found the entrance to the North Sea. We could only stand on the boundless seashore hesitating."
"But in the end, we still found what we were looking for."
Shen Qing was puzzled. "In that case, didn't you already reach the North Sea?"
A hint of fear rose in the eyes of the White Dragon and the Golden Dragon at the same time.
The Golden Dragon continued from where the White Dragon left off. "The North Sea is deep and black, which is well - known. So when we stood on the shore and looked deep into the sea, all we saw was darkness without light."
"However, when the five of us were hesitating, the darkness in the sea began to flicker."
"Guess what we saw?"
Everyone's curiosity was piqued, and they stared eagerly at the Golden Dragon.
The Golden Dragon curled his lips into a strange smile and said, "What we saw, the darkness hidden in the sea, were the eyes of the Kun - Peng. It was blinking."
