The communication device on Bi Qing's waist suddenly sounded and he clicked the button. Yin Zi's delighted voice sounded out from the device "Xiao Cha was in the sea prison as we suspected, we found her. We're now taking her and Jian Nan to retreat, you be careful"
But before his voice fell, someone grabbed the device "Bi Qing, it's peculiar, Xiao Cha and Jian Nan were held in the outer parts of the prison where security is lax, it was too smooth, it just doesn't feel right"
"What about Xiao Cha?" I enquired through the device "How is she? Did she get bullied by Ao Yun? What about Jian Nan?"
Xiao Cha's joyous voice sounded from the device "I'm fine, it's just that bastard gave me a few luxurious days of good food and drinks, and since I was depressed that I couldn't see Yin Zi so I ate away my sorrows, gaining a few pounds in the process, when I go back I'll need to lose some weight"
"Oops" Due to blabbering about she got a scolding from Yin Zi. Then Yin Zi said "Jian Nan got hit a few times causing some injuries, I'm afraid that if he doesn't get medical care soon it will become problematic so we're going to bring him away first then come back to get you"
Hearing that Jian Nan was in such a bad state, I could only wish them to be safe.
After the device was turned off, Bi Qing suddenly said "I'm afraid that we may have fallen into a trap"
"How?" I was confused and lifted my head "Wasn't it a success?"
Ao Yun is a not a fool, right now all three sides have heavy troops after them, only this route which we had planned for escape is too small, so it's not suitable, they are waiting for us from all directions outside" Bi Qing explained.
"Moreover, he must have purposely injured Jian Nan to take up time so that Yin Zi and the rest won't be able to come as quickly...but why didn't he use the troops to directly besiege us?"
"Isn't that simple?" Xiao Mao cut in "Bi Qing Shen Jun is famous, not to mention that Haiyang was once your subordinate, if he boldly dealt with you in public then he won't be able to account to his clan/tribe. So it's better to lead us to inconspicuous corners to deal then report saying that it was an accident"
"If that's the case, let us immediately turn back" Bi Qing decisively ordered and relayed the situation.
After Shao Zhong understood, he immediately ordered his subordinates to send Jian Nan away and headed towards our direction.
After turning to all four sides they were all full of densely packed sea soldiers, apart from the direction that Ao Yun left for us, we had no other way, from north to south, east to west, high to low, there was nowhere for us to break out from.
We stopped at the original point, the situation was troublesome. After contemplating for a while, Bi Qing placed the order "Directly charge to the Dragon Palace"
"There are the most soldiers there, so why that route?" Xiao Mao was puzzled. Bi Qing stood there stubbornly insisted on killing our way out or going all out with Ao Yun. Bi Qing could only explain it to him "If it's as you say then Ao Yun wouldn't dare to directly use the troops, clearly there's something deeper or some scruples. The only person who can restrict him is the Dragon King/Emperor, he must not want the Dragon King/Emperor to find out, that's why there are the most soldiers there. When we reach the Dragon Palace, there will be many going and leaving immortals, they then won't be able to hide the news of our presence and can only obediently let us go"
I was very impressed by this act of ingenuity, Xiao Mao thought for a while and also expressed his agreement, I released my claws and Xiao Mao covered our backs. Bi Qing set a trap at the back. Cooperating with each other, we headed towards the Dragon Palace.
There were many shrimp and crab soldiers, holding a sword in hand, I rushed into the battle. It was the so-called 'Enough ants can bite an elephant to death'. My battle prowess was limited since I could not leave the water pearl's range. My hand became numb from holding the sword.
From the corner of my eye I noticed that Xiao Mao was close to getting hurt, anxious, I wanted to rush out the water pearl to save him but was stopped when Bi Qing pulled me back. He grabbed a massive black projectile weapon and quickly assembled it then shot it towards Xiao Mao's direction, scaring Xiao Mao, he quickly rushed to the side. The impact of that Earth-shattering explosion caused all three of us to be blown away. There was a small whirlpool...
"Old man! Do you want to kill me! So you can go and have a more sensible son!" Xiao Mao's face went pale and lost its color.
Bi Qing comforted "This whirlpool is slow and can only scare so you don't have to be so stingy and linger on small matters like this" as he assembled another projectile.
Those shrimps and crab soldiers were shaken and lost themselves in the sky so we quickly took this opportunity to escape through the gap in the soldiers that we had caused.
**(Losing themselves in the sky is indicating that they were seeing their lives flashing before their eyes, basically thinking that they were gonna die)**
After getting away from the annoying things that surrounded us, we quickly headed upwards and Bi Qing shot two more shots to opened the path so we could reach the land. That was my domain where his fighting prowess will be greatly reduced so if I hide in the heavens no matter how frustrated Ao Yun gets he will not be able to find me. We can think of a way back later, once raw rice is cooked, he won't be able to do anything about it.
I proudly stated this bit by bit, Xiao Mao kept on praising me saying that I was a lot smarter now. Bi Qing just tenderly looked at me making me very embarrassed. Unexpectedly, he grabbed my head, took something out and sternly asked, "What is this?"
I thought he was jealous so I quickly replied "It's difficult to move if my hair is scattered so I took this from the palace to tie it up, it was difficult for me to find this"
I didn't expect for Bi Qing to quickly disassemble it revealing a small machine flashing light. Both his and Xiao Mao's face changed drastically...
"This is a tracker, we got tricked" Bi Qing crushed it and pulled me along at full force.
But we still too late, a large red figure appeared before us, all the marine life respectfully bowed to it. Bi Qing pulled me behind but since I have recovered my powers so I should naturally should go to the front lines, I released my heaven shattering claws ready to counter-attack.
"Under the sea, even if you were to escape, where can you escape to?" The hateful voice sounded as the red dragon transformed into Ao Yun's figure. "It's really disappointing that you did not go to the place where I specially selected to be your death beds"
"Uncle Ao Yun is too polite, my mother has intruded on you for far too long, we didn't want to intrude on and bother you for any longer so we left" Xiao Mao smiled and replied whilst trying to look for a way to escape "We promised to eat with General Hai Yang, if we are late he might get angry"
Bi Qing expression looked not afraid whatsoever and he seemed to be in deep thought.
Ao Yun took out a mysterious orb and lightly spun it, the light covered everything around us, slowly all outside noises gradually died out. Then he slowly said, "Even if Hai Yang knows, what can he do?"
"I don't think it's a good idea to have resentment towards the general commanding the three armies" Xiao Mao coaxed "Even if this mirror can block sound, so many people outside saw us enter it with you, you won't be able to stop the news from spreading"
Bi Qing cut in "I'm afraid it's not so simple, he has no scruples"
"You're right, I don't have any scruples" Ao Yun suddenly laughed hysterically "If I can't have it, then no one can have it, if you guys continue to struggle then even if go against the world, I will destroy you"
"You're crazy!" I muttered.
"Yes, I went crazy after a thousand years of waiting. It was too painful and bitter. I can't stand it anymore. Since I can't get it by all possible means, then it is better to violate Heavenly law, enter into reincarnation and forget it all! What's the big deal?!" Ao Yun's entire being seemed somewhat abnormal like he had become a madman.
"Why are you so persistent?" I saw that he did not seem to lie and desperately asked.
"Why are you so persistent?" Ao Yun countered.
I had no words and was speechless.
