Chapter 336: Chapter 265: Rescuing the Dragon Monarch and Patriarch Yu皇
"Mr. Bai Shen, your sect truly lives up to its reputation as one of the foremost great sects in the Great Xia Dynasty. Indeed, your words are as good as gold."
"When Mr. Dragon Monarch breaks free from the seal, I will surely convey your sect’s goodwill to him!"
King Qing, who used to be arrogant and dismissive of humans, was now devoid of that demeanor in front of Bai Shen, the second Supreme Elder of the Pure World White Lotus Sect.
He hung his head low, not daring to take a deep breath, a picture of submissiveness, avoiding even a glance at Bai Shen, his words full of flattery and compliance.
Though King Qing was a Demon King of Grandmaster Perfection, akin to the human External Gang Grandmaster Perfection,
he knew to respect the powerful.
Bai Shen, a powerhouse of Great Success in the Divine Mansion Realm, was only slightly inferior to that Lion Monarch.
Yet, even so, someone like Bai Shen, a reclusive and formidable figure seldom showing himself, could effortlessly crush him like an ant with just a slight movement of his fingers.
Thus, in Bai Shen’s presence, King Qing dared not exhibit any insolence and could only stow away his usual air of dominance, taking every step with caution and humility.
Seeing King Qing’s humble and compliant demeanor, Bai Shen found it gratifying, gently stroking his beard as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Hmm!"
"King Qing, rest assured, our Pure World White Lotus Sect never goes back on its word, and we will spare no effort to rescue the Dragon Monarch."
Bai Shen’s voice was deep and commanding, each word clearly reaching King Qing’s ears.
Once finished, a glint of sharpness suddenly flashed in Bai Shen’s eyes, and he shifted the subject with a meaningful tone: "After all, we share a common enemy."
"And that is the Great Xia royal family!"
These two sentences, laden with endless implications, permeated the surrounding air, subtly hinting at an impending storm of fierce conflict.
For a moment, King Qing did not immediately respond to Bai Shen as usual but fell into a brief silence, as if weighing something.
After a while, he slowly spoke: "Mr. Bai Shen, this matter must wait until Mr. Dragon Monarch is freed before we can make a decision."
Having said that, King Qing slightly bowed, his expression full of urgency: "Time is of the essence, I believe Mr. Dragon Monarch has waited too long."
"I must trouble you, Mr. Bai Shen, to lend your hand, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain will certainly remember your sect’s kindness."
The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain mentioned by King Qing is a place in the Western Extreme Land, beyond the Great Xia Dynasty’s seal.
Realm!
Just as King Qing finished speaking, a sense of uncontrollable urgency emanated from him.
His eyes instantly lit up with a dazzling golden light, like two small suns, dazzling and blazing.
Simultaneously, the white robe draped over King Qing seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force.
With a ripping sound, the white robe was instantly shredded into countless fluttering fragments, scattering in the wind.
Immediately after, King Qing’s originally strange and slender human form began to swell dramatically at a speed visible to the naked eye as the wind blew.
In just a moment, a nearly hundred-zhang-long azure giant serpent appeared on the ground.
The azure giant serpent’s body, as thick as a giant column, had scales glinting a cold, eerie green in the sunlight.
Each azure scale was as big as a millstone.
The azure giant serpent coiled and arched, its thick tail occasionally pounding the ground, creating a dull thud and kicking up a cloud of dust.
Subsequently, without any hesitation, the azure giant serpent plunged headfirst into the surging river.
The azure giant serpent’s massive, awe-inspiring body, like a moving hill, plunged into the water with a crash, raising a towering wave of water several dozen zhang high.
As the waves surged, they seemed to sweep the entire sky into the depths of the river.
In the next moment, a violent shake of the earth and mountains struck, even causing the sturdy bridge that connected the Jinlin River to tremble under the immense impact.
The solid bridge began to emit creaking sounds.
The small boats docked quietly by the river seemed as fragile as falling leaves in the face of the mighty waves.
One by one, fishing boats were mercilessly swept into the vast depths of the Jinlin River, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
Seeing King Qing transform into a massive azure serpent, causing such a commotion.
Bai Shen’s brow furrowed, his eyes flashing with intense displeasure.
However, Bai Shen chose not to rebuke King Qing, instead, he concealed his great discontent beneath a seemingly calm exterior.
"Hmph!"
Bai Shen let out a faint snort from his nose, inwardly deriding.
"Beasts are beasts after all, and their nature is hard to change, full of wild blood."
"Acting without thinking, ignoring the path of steadiness and modesty, insisting on stirring up such a grand spectacle, mobilizing so much fuss."
"Utterly foolish!"
"More than just foolish, it’s downright idiotic!"
Jinlin River’s riverbed!
In the depths, the bottom of the Jinlin River seemed like a boundless abyss, pitch-black and deathly still.
Suddenly, a pair of gigantic eyes opened wide, covering the sky.
Upon closer inspection, they were a pair of massive vertical pupils, their depths filled with endless age and a fearsome majesty. frёeωebɳovel.com
As if everything in this world was just a tiny speck in its eyes.
In the next moment, those two enormous eyeballs slowly began to shift from side to side.
