Chapter 255: Chapter 144: Between Wolves and Tigers, Trapped in an Inescapable Net
"Speak, what is the method for the Azure Dragon Seal to recognize its master, and what specific functions does it have? Why do you dare claim to select the bright lord of the world?"
Chen Ping turned his head, looking at Fairy Fang from the South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest perched on his shoulder, feeling quite absurd.
Just such a silly girl, a mere glutton.
Actually had the world’s heroes playing in her hands.
Even the Prince of Beizhou and Nanli’s prince thought of flattering her to get her to grant them the Azure Dragon Seal.
What do you call this?
As he sped through the streets and alleys, racing out of the city, he urgently inquired.
This time, the attack on Cuihu Residence went so smoothly it was unbelievable.
Initially, he merely intended to endure all hardships to obtain the Azure Dragon Seal, leveraging its vast Heaven and Earth Dragon Essence to further advance or take a few steps forward in his cultivation of the Primordial Golden Body Technique, saving ten or eight years of cultivation time.
As for using the Azure Dragon Seal to create a grand momentum, attracting heroes from all around to join him, then holding his ground in the Southern Region and plotting to conquer the world.
Honestly, he hadn’t thought that far.
Not that he dared not think, but he knew that if his steps were too large, he might mess up.
The world is vast, and there are many experts.
Others can easily mobilize hundreds of thousands in troops.
How many people did he have? Just barely secured some capital for self-preservation, dreaming of the world, such dreams weren’t even considered.
Plans can’t keep up with changes; he entirely didn’t expect that elite forces from several factions would unite to attack simultaneously, leading to death, injury, and escape.
In the end, it landed him, the one who was merely tagging along, in the seat, directly obtaining the Azure Dragon Seal and capturing this formidable Fairy Fang.
This was simply like a joke.
As the saying goes, human nature is to seek more after gaining something.
"Since the Azure Dragon Seal is in hand, and Fang Qingzhu is also captured, does this mean one can play out a ’Heaven’s Mandate’?"
Thinking of this, Chen Ping’s heart skipped a few beats, as he gazed upwards at the thick clouds rapidly drifting from the northern sky, feeling somewhat rebellious inside.
"Why must Heaven’s Mandate remain unchanged, why must the great trends be unbreakable?
The embrace of a tree begins from a tiny sprout, a nine-tiered platform from a heap of earth, a thousand-mile journey from beneath one’s feet.
If one dares to dream, everything is possible."
"A true man stands in the world, holding a three-foot sword, protecting the rivers and mountains, bringing peace to the common people, isn’t it better than letting those Beizhou Barbarians cause this world to be chaotic and foul?
Even if not for the world, at the very least, I must live without humiliation and not become a mouse being chased and hiding everywhere, so I must fight for it."
"To fully seize power, Fang Qingzhu is indispensable.
No matter how much of a glutton she is, she is a glutton with a lineage, with a background.
So many people fawn over and flatter this woman, they must have their reasons."
Earlier, Chen Ping looked ferocious, as if intending to strike Fang Qingzhu down in one go, frightening the master and servant into paleness.
Actually, he knew well.
Though the Little Fairy from the South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest might seem like a naive fool, even if she were as vicious as a snake, there’s virtually no one in this world who truly dares to kill her.
This is evident from the actions of Greed Wolf Claw Zheng Yuanchun and East Wood Army’s military advisor Xiao Chengyun.
They mostly aimed to seize the Seal or targeted the maid Xiaoyu, but never delivered a fatal strike to Fang Qingzhu.
Everyone knows this woman cannot be killed, that slaying her would inevitably provoke disaster.
No matter who does the deed, once experts from the South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest come out for revenge, they surely wouldn’t ask questions...
Anyone even slightly involved would be wiped clean, dishonoring the Three Immortal Islands’ reputation.
Even Chen Ping, not too familiar with the news, knew the South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest has Divine Martial Level combat power, and possibly more than one.
So, would other factions not know?
Unless someone unifies the realm, using court power to deal with a Holy Land, would then have a chance for victory.
Otherwise, with their meager troops and weak generals, hardly finding even a single Grandmaster, facing the Three Immortal Islands head-on is like a death wish.
All prior advantages might be shattered by a casual arrival of one person from there.
Otherwise, why does the world say the Three Immortal Islands can determine the thousand-year Qi Number, if it were not true?
"The function of the Azure Dragon Seal has only one, to rally hearts and minds, suppress fate, and evoke dragon power, leading the world to truly submit.
The stronger the forces beneath, the more prominent this capability, even the most unruly person would, under the dragon power suppressing qi number, sincerely bow...
Actually, what I want to say is, even if you gain the Azure Dragon Seal, it’s hard to obtain Heaven’s Mandate?" Fang Qingzhu twisted her body to make herself more comfortable being carried, cast a sidelong glance at Chen Ping with raised eyebrows, and sighed.
She had already been defeated, revealing her weak side, no longer bothered pretending to be cold as ice.
"Speak plainly."
Chen Ping’s face darkened.
At such a time, why still be cryptic.
"You’re scolding me, scolding me again..." Fang Qingzhu obviously refused, pouting high enough, almost tearful with resentment.
Chen Ping felt quite a headache.
Thinking, didn’t this woman realize I dare not kill her, hence starting to play mind games?
However, even if not killed, he still had many ways to deal with it, since she was captured, after all, there’s no room for pride.
"Little miss means to say, Chen Ping, you do not have True Dragon Nature, and cannot let the Azure Dragon Seal recognize its master." The round-faced little girl being carried by her neck, obediently chimed in.
