The Amorous Healer [Complete] - Chapter 18

Chapter 201 Dragon Immortal Spirit Platform (Part 2)

Chi Kui Zi fought alone against Ge Xiaoyao and the Black Dragon Saint Lord, using all his divine power to finally defeat them. However, he himself felt his physical strength and primordial spirit shake, his legs unsteady, and he was about to lose his footing. However, he wasn't seriously injured. He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and managed to stand.

Seeing Ge Xiaoyao and the Black Dragon Saint Lord spitting blood, he raised his head and laughed wildly, "Hmph, you two dare to settle scores with me, Chi Kui Zi? Fine, today I'll send you on your way!" He clenched his fists and walked step by step towards Ge Xiaoyao.

Although Ge Xiaoyao was severely injured, his mind remained calm. Seeing that Chi Kuizi's steps were unsteady and his maniacal laughter lacked strength, he knew that Chi Kuizi was also at his limit. He sneered inwardly, "You old codger, I'll let you taste the agony of a hundred dragons scratching your heart in a moment!"

Chi Kuizi was about to reach Ge Xiaoyao when he suddenly stopped and turned to walk towards the dying Black Dragon Saint King lying on the ground. "Hmph, my grudge with you, Black Dragon, is the first one to be settled!"

The Black Dragon Saint King struggled but could not break free. His cultivation was the weakest among the three, and he was naturally the most seriously injured. He could barely speak, let alone escape. Seeing Chi Kuizi getting closer, he gritted his teeth and laughed intermittently, "I will die at your hands today, which can be considered settling a grudge, but... I am too sorry for the Crown Princess!"

Seeing that he was still thinking about Yan Qiang's death even in his dying moments, Ge Xiaoyao felt an indescribable sorrow in his heart. At this moment, Chi Kuizi had already reached the Black Dragon Saint King, his large hands about to grab the Black Dragon Saint King's neck, but his body was facing away from Ge Xiaoyao.

"Damn it! Who's going to kill whom is still uncertain!" Ge Xiaoyao gritted his teeth and roared, lying on the ground and swinging out with one palm. The last bit of Dragon Immortal power he had left, along with the true souls of a hundred or so Dragon Immortals, roared out, and among the five-clawed golden dragons was even the little water demon beast with its fangs bared.

Ge Xiaoyao's guess was correct; Chi Kuizi was indeed at his last gasp, his divine power completely gone, leaving him no choice but to end his enemy's life by strangling him. But he never expected that the dying Ge Xiaoyao would be able to counterattack despite his serious injuries. He was facing away from Ge Xiaoyao, and the distance was too close; before he could react, he was tightly wrapped by the dozens of golden dragons and pulled into the air.

More than ten golden dragons roared and merged into his body. Because there were so many, the water demon beast couldn't get close and could only roar and bar its fangs from the outside.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Seeing his counterattack successful, Ge Xiaoyao could no longer bear his exhaustion. He coughed up two mouthfuls of blood and fainted.

After an unknown amount of time, Ge Xiaoyao suddenly felt his dragon immortal power surging throughout his body, as if his body was about to explode. Subconsciously, he used his supreme profound technique to dissolve all the dragon immortal power and opened his eyes.

Everything before him was dim and yellowish. Chi Kuizi was gone. Ge Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief, but then channeled a wisp of his spiritual sense into the void. He saw that all the dragon immortals were radiant and beaming with joy. Long Xiaotian's hair and beard were now completely black, and his face was ruddy, making him seem ten years younger. Even the water demon beast seemed to have grown a bit, happily jumping and playing among the dragon immortals like a lovable lion dog.

"Third Prince, we've dealt with Chi Kui Zi!" Long Xiaotian stepped forward and said.

Ge Xiaoyao finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Thank you all for your hard work, Senior Dragon Immortals. I, Ge Xiaoyao, must thank you for saving my life!"

"Third Prince, you're too kind," Long Xiaotian hurriedly said, "Dealing with a Chi Kui Zi who has no divine power was a piece of cake for us. It was thanks to your generosity, Third Prince, that we were able to do this. However..." His face was full of smiles, "Chi Kui Zi's primordial spirit was indeed powerful, restoring half of our primordial spirit! I think, if this continues, we'll be able to see the light of day again in a few days!"

Ge Xiaoyao said, "Congratulations, Senior Dragon Immortals! I, Ge Xiaoyao, have also benefited greatly! My cultivation has increased by a full 30%!"

You must know that when Dragon Immortals attack, they not only devour primordial spirits to repair themselves, but also convert the enemy's cultivation into Dragon Immortal power. However, since they reside in the void, there is nowhere for Dragon Immortal power to be stored. This benefited Ge Xiaoyao greatly, allowing him to rapidly increase his cultivation without expending any effort.

"Third Prince, please save the Black Dragon! We just saw him on the verge of death!" Long Xiaotian said again.

Ge Xiaoyao suddenly remembered that the Black Dragon Saint Lord was also seriously injured, and immediately replied, "No problem, I'll go out first without delay!" Long Xiaotian said again, "Third Prince, our primordial spirit repair is almost complete. There's no need for you to use your spiritual sense to enter the void. Just follow your will, and you can communicate."

Ge Xiaoyao nodded, and his Dragon Immortal Power rushed out of the void, a bit of his spiritual sense returning to its place.

The Black Dragon Saint Lord was seriously injured, and his neck had been gripped by the Black Dragon Saint Lord. At that moment, a bit of his primordial spirit seemed to be about to leave his body and dissipate. Seeing this, Ge Xiaoyao quickly gathered his Dragon Immortal Power into a thread and slowly channeled it into the energy channels in his hand. The Black Dragon Saint Lord also had a dragon body and did not repel the Dragon Immortal Power, so as soon as the Dragon Immortal Power entered his body, it automatically repaired his energy channels.

After a short while, the Black Dragon Saint King let out a long sigh, opened his eyes, and saw Ge Xiaoyao. He quickly stood up, then knelt down again, saying, "Thank you so much, Third Prince, for saving my life!"

"Senior Black Dragon, please rise. It was thanks to your selfless act that we were able to withstand Chi Kuizi's attack! There's no need to talk about saving lives!" Ge Xiaoyao helped the Black Dragon Saint King up.

At this moment, the two looked at the stone door. The image of Chi Kuizi that had been carved there had disappeared, leaving only a blank surface. The stone door slowly opened, and a blinding celestial light leaked out from the crack.

"The Dragon Immortal Ancient Platform must be inside, Senior Black Dragon, let's go in quickly!" Ge Xiaoyao pulled the Black Dragon Saint King, ignoring the blinding celestial light, and rushed into the stone door.

The scene that greeted Ge Xiaoyao greatly shocked him. Without thinking, he retreated rapidly and came out of the stone door again. He bumped into the Black Dragon Saint King who had followed him, and the two of them flew several feet away.

"What's inside?" the Black Dragon Saint Lord asked in surprise.

Ge Xiaoyao's heart pounded, unsure how to describe the scene he had just witnessed. "It's... a monster!" It turned out that when Ge Xiaoyao rushed through the stone gate, there was no Dragon Immortal Platform; instead, there was only a monster resembling both a dragon and a beast, its eyes strangely bright, emanating the blinding immortal light.

"A monster?" The Black Dragon Saint Lord was also startled.

At this moment, a low roar came from behind the stone gate. Although the sound was not loud, it was extremely powerful, causing the two men's primordial spirits to become unstable and their blood to surge.

"We've been tricked!" This thought suddenly popped into Ge Xiaoyao's mind. He was about to turn and leave when he suddenly heard a voice beside him say, "Third Prince, wait!"

The voice sounded exactly like Long Xiaotian's. Remembering what Long Xiaotian had just said, Ge Xiaoyao was greatly excited and hurriedly asked, "Is it Senior Long Xiaotian?"

Long Xiaotian replied, "Indeed, Prince, please wait! The Dragon Platform is inside the belly of the Dragon Platform Divine Beast!"

Ge Xiaoyao exclaimed in surprise, "The Dragon Platform Divine Beast? That monster is the Dragon Platform Divine Beast?"

Long Xiaotian said: “Since ancient times, spiritual treasures have always been protected by strange beasts. This Dragon Platform Divine Beast is the spiritual beast that protects the Dragon Platform! Third Prince, don’t panic. As the son of the Dragon Emperor, as long as you show him a Dragon Immortal Mark, it will subdue and spit out the Dragon Platform!”

Ge Xiaoyao felt a little relieved, but thought to himself, “Damn! Although I was the Third Prince of the Dragon in my previous life, I have been reincarnated for many years. Where would I have any Dragon Immortal Mark?”

Long Xiaotian laughed heartily, “It’s right here, right before your eyes. Isn’t the Third Prince’s Dragon Immortal Record the best mark?”

“Damn! How could I forget about this!” Ge Xiaoyao was secretly delighted. He turned around and summoned his Void Bag, took out the Dragon Immortal Record given to him by the Black-Faced Dragon Immortal at the bottom of the Kunlun Dragon Immortal Pool, and said to Long Xiaotian, “Thank you for your guidance, Senior Dragon Immortal!”

At this moment, the Dragon Platform Divine Beast also rushed out of the stone gate. Instead of attacking the Black Dragon Saint King, it pounced on Ge Xiaoyao.

It turned out that the Dragon Platform Divine Beast was born with extraordinary spiritual power. It recognized that the Black Dragon Saint Lord was a dragon, but saw that Ge Xiaoyao was in human form, so it pounced on him.
Ge Xiaoyao hurriedly raised the Dragon Immortal Sacrifice Record, only to see it suddenly burst forth with a golden light upon encountering the immortal light in the eyes of the Dragon Platform Divine Beast, instantly enveloping the beast.

As the golden light dissipated, the immortal light in the Dragon Platform Divine Beast's eyes vanished, and its size shrank considerably. It half-crouched, half-kneeled on the ground, as docile as a lamb, its eyes fixed on Ge Xiaoyao with a seemingly puzzled expression.

Ge Xiaoyao examined the Dragon Platform Divine Beast closely; it had a dragon's head and a beast's body, covered in golden fur, without a tail or wings. A large, protruding belly was supported by two thick hind legs. Although its appearance was strange, it was also quite adorable.

At that moment, Ge Xiaoyao laughed, "Little dragon beast, I am the reincarnation of Long Yixiao, the third prince of the Dragon Emperor. Today, I have come to retrieve the Dragon Immortal Spirit Platform and save the true soul of the ancient Dragon Immortal! Please cooperate a little!"

Ge Xiaoyao's words were meant as a joke, but the Dragon Platform Divine Beast seemed to understand. One of its dragon heads nodded twice, and its two hind legs stood upright, its front paws on its chest, as if it were gathering its strength.

"Damn! This dragon beast is really something!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, glancing at the Black Dragon Saint Lord, only to see him also looking astonished, staring intently at the Dragon Platform Divine Beast.

After a low gurgling sound, Ge Xiaoyao saw something bulge in the Dragon Platform Divine Beast's belly, slowly rising until it reached the beast's throat. Suddenly, the beast opened its mouth, releasing a fragrant aroma, and celestial light gathered and dispersed. An octagonal, four-pillared emerald jade platform flew out of the beast's mouth, spinning rapidly in mid-air.

The Dragon Immortal Sacrifice Record in Ge Xiaoyao's hand flew out automatically, shrinking several times in mid-air and embedding itself tightly into the jade platform, like a gold plaque inscribed with ancient characters.

"Damn! This is the Dragon Immortal Platform?" Ge Xiaoyao caught the jade platform in his palm and sighed inwardly.

The dragon beast roared twice, and one of its heads nodded twice, as if in response to Ge Xiaoyao's words.

Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly, stepped forward, and patted the dragon beast's head, saying with a smile, "I know, little darling is so obedient!"

The dragon beast roared twice more, lazily twisting its body, seemingly quite pleased with Ge Xiaoyao's pat.

The Black Dragon Saint King then laughed, "Congratulations, Third Prince, on finally obtaining my dragon clan's supreme treasure!"

Ge Xiaoyao smiled, thinking to himself, "But I wonder what the wondrous use of this Dragon Immortal Platform is?"

"Third Prince, there is no need to doubt. Now that our primordial spirits are almost repaired, as long as we enter this Dragon Immortal Platform, we can gather our true bodies and return to the world!" Long Xiaotian's voice rang out again.

Ge Xiaoyao was overjoyed and said, "Then, senior Dragon Immortals, please come out and return to your true forms!"

"Alright!" Long Xiaotian said, "However, we still need to borrow your immortal power to get out!"

Ge Xiaoyao was eager to witness the mysteries of the Dragon Immortal Platform, so he immediately used his Dragon Immortal power to send out a hundred Dragon Immortals. More than a hundred five-clawed golden dragons shrank into tiny pieces in mid-air and rushed into the emerald jade platform.

The Dragon Immortal Platform flew into the air, detached from Ge Xiaoyao's palm. On the four pillars of the emerald jade platform, dozens of five-clawed golden dragons appeared on each pillar, each with a different expression, forming four dragon pillars. However, at the bottom of one of the jade pillars, there was a monster that was not a golden dragon.

Ge Xiaoyao was secretly surprised. Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was actually the Water Demon Beast. He thought to himself, "Damn! How did this little monster come out too!"

The golden dragon coiled around the jade pillar, and the Dragon Immortal Ritual Record embedded in the center of the jade platform slowly emitted a golden light, enveloping the entire Dragon Immortal Platform.

Seeing the golden light emanating from the Dragon Immortal Platform, the dragon beast seemed quite excited. It leaped twice on the spot, landed on all fours, nodded to Ge Xiaoyao, and slowly sat down on its hind legs.

"Third Prince, this dragon beast is telling us to sit and wait!" the Black Dragon Saint King laughed.

Ge Xiaoyao also smiled; he understood the dragon beast's meaning. He and the Black Dragon Saint King sat down on the ground, their eyes fixed on the Dragon Immortal Platform slowly rotating in mid-air.

Chapter 202 Resentment Dissipates (Part 1)

The emerald green Dragon Immortal Platform was enveloped in a golden light, which grew thinner and thinner until, after about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the golden light completely disappeared. From the Dragon Immortal Platform, a cloud of black mist slowly rose. Again, after about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the black mist dissipated, followed by white mist, and finally, multicolored mist.

Just as Ge Xiaoyao and the Black Dragon Saint were growing impatient, a loud, boisterous laugh rang out. Dozens of golden rays shot out from the jade dragon platform, each transforming into a tiny figure about a foot tall.

The passageway, already narrow, was now completely packed with these tiny figures. Ge Xiaoyao and the Black Dragon Saint exclaimed in surprise, and upon closer inspection, they saw that the leader was none other than the Dragon Immortal Protector, Long Xiaotian.

"Senior Dragon Immortal, is this your true form? Why are you so small?" Ge Xiaoyao asked.

Long Xiaotian chuckled, "That's right, this is our true form, just formed from this Dragon Immortal Platform. It's just that the passage is too narrow to stand in, so we've shrunk our bodies. Once we're outside, they'll naturally grow larger in the wind."

Ge Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "Damn! I thought I'd brought out a bunch of Lilliputian dragon immortals! They scared me half to death!" He then laughed, "In that case, let's go outside and talk!"

Long Xiaotian also laughed, "Third Prince, wait! Although we've now formed our true forms, we lack the power of dragon immortals. If we go out like this, we'll probably be killed before we get far!"

"Damn! Why didn't you say so sooner?" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, then asked, "What should we do?"

Long Xiaotian laughed, "What's so difficult about that? Actually, when we were sealed in the Dragon-Slaying Blade by Tathagata, although we lost our true bodies, we didn't lose our cultivation. It's all preserved in the Dragon-Slaying Blade, just like you. Didn't you also obtain the ten thousand years of cultivation of the Third Prince in the Dragon-Slaying Blade?"

Ge Xiaoyao smiled wryly, then without hesitation, summoned the Dragon-Slaying Blade and presented it to Long Xiaotian with both hands, saying, "Please, seniors, withdraw your Dragon Immortal Power!"

Upon seeing the Dragon-Slaying Blade, Long Xiaotian couldn't help but sigh, saying, "Thinking back to my hundred Dragon Immortals... " "This Dragon-Slaying Blade has been imprisoned for ten thousand years, and today it has finally seen the light of day again, all thanks to the Third Prince's help!"

Ge Xiaoyao hurriedly said, "Senior, you are too kind. It is not only my duty as Ge Xiaoyao, but also the Dragon Immortals who have bestowed upon me tens of thousands of years of Dragon Immortal True Power, which I, Ge Xiaoyao, cannot repay! Please, seniors, quickly retrieve your cultivation from the blade so that we can escape from this Jishan Stone!"

Long Xiaotian took the Dragon-Slaying Blade and tossed it into the air. The Dragon Immortals were excited and immediately cast their spells. Suddenly, the Dragon-Slaying Blade shone brightly, and beams of golden light shot out like meteors, scattering across the bodies of the various Dragon Immortals.

While the Dragon Immortals retrieved their cultivation from the Dragon-Slaying Blade, Ge Xiaoyao went to look at the Dragon Immortal Platform. On the Dragon Immortal Platform, the Water Demon Beast was still lying on the jade pillar, unwilling to come down, with a rather excited and comfortable expression.

The Dragon Platform Divine Beast, upon seeing the Water Demon Beast, let out a few low growls, its form instantly shrinking as it leaped into the Dragon Platform, roaring at the Water Demon Beast.

The Water Demon Beast, seemingly unwilling to concede, turned and landed on the jade pillar, standing on its forelegs and supporting itself only on its hind legs, howling incessantly.

"Damn! These two little beasts are going to fight!" Ge Xiaoyao, intrigued, stared intently at the two strange beasts.

Finally, the Dragon Platform Divine Beast couldn't resist the provocation, its eyes widening, and a beam of golden light shot from them, striking the Water Demon Beast. The Water Demon Beast, now quite small, nimbly dodged, opening its small mouth and spitting out a red flame to burn the Dragon Platform Divine Beast.

The two beasts fought back and forth, creating quite a spectacle, even drawing the attention of the Black Dragon Saint King, who came closer to watch.

At this moment, the dragon immortals withdrew their cultivation, and their original simple white robes transformed into golden armor and helmets, resembling heavenly soldiers and generals. Long Xiaotian chuckled and said, "Third Prince, the great task is accomplished, let's go out!"

In the Western Qi Realm, at the bottom of the Jingwei River, outside Jishi Mountain.

At this moment, Jishi Mountain was riddled with holes and in ruins. First, Ge Xiaoyao fought a fierce battle against the Water Demon Beast, breaking off a peak. Then, Ge Xiaoyao fought the Black Dragon Saint Lord, splitting the mountain and shattering rocks. Finally, Mo Zhao, with the strength of a thousand flying dragon soldiers, used the Seven Star Linked Lock magic weapon to smash the mountain in search of people. Several peaks of Jishi Mountain had already been leveled. The Wei River Dragon King, Mo Zhao, Yan Qiang, and others searched everywhere for Ge Xiaoyao and the Black Dragon Saint Lord but could not find them, so they had no choice but to return to the Dragon Palace to await news. At this time, Jishi Mountain was quite quiet.

A hundred dragon immortals in golden robes and armor formed a square formation, with the dragon immortal protector Long Xiaotian at the front. They had repaired their true forms on the Dragon Immortal Platform and now saw the light of day again. They were all excited and ready to challenge the three realms of humans, Buddhas, and gods to revive the dragon immortal race.

"Esteemed Dragon Immortals, please forgive me, Ge Xiaoyao, for being in human form now and unable to join you in this grand plan to revitalize the Dragon Clan. Take care!" Ge Xiaoyao said.

Long Xiaotian's expression was solemn. He nodded silently, sighed, and then laughed heartily, "It's alright, Third Prince. We have a prior agreement, so we dare not force you to do what you do not wish to do. No, you are the Third Prince of our Dragon Immortal Clan. If you need our services in the future, we will go through fire and water without hesitation!" Long Xiaotian said.

All one hundred Dragon Immortals said, "We will go through fire and water without hesitation if the Prince commands us!"

Ge Xiaoyao sighed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, senior Dragon Immortals! I am deeply grateful. Although I cannot directly revitalize the Dragon Clan, I will never stand idly by if the Dragon Clan is in danger!"

At this moment, the Black Dragon Saint King said, "Protector, I, the Black Dragon, still have a grudge to settle. Once it is settled, I will definitely come to find you and work together to revitalize the Dragon Clan!"

Everyone nodded.

Ge Xiaoyao then asked, "Where do you, the Dragon Immortals, wish to settle down? If anything comes up, we can exchange information!"

Long Xiaotian pondered for a moment, then said loudly, "We first emerged from the void over ten thousand years ago, and now we don't know where to go. But the world is our home, and we can always find a place to stay!"

Ge Xiaoyao thought for a moment and said, "Dragon Immortals, how about this? There is a Dragon Immortal Pool on the Kunlun Snow Peak, and at the bottom of the pool is a Dragon Immortal Abode. The Black-Faced Dragon Immortal and I call each other brothers, and he has been searching for you all for many years. Why don't you all stay there temporarily, and then we can discuss important matters together?"

Long Xiaotian pondered for a moment and nodded, saying, "Very well, thank you very much. " "Please give me your guidance!"

Ge Xiaoyao bid farewell to the dragon immortals. He then took out the Dragon Immortal Platform, saying, "Senior Dragon Immortals, this Dragon Immortal Platform is a treasure of the Dragon Clan. Please take good care of it!"

Long Xiaotian sighed and declined, saying, "Third Prince, although this Dragon Immortal Platform is a treasure of the Dragon Clan, the Dragon Emperor has not yet been born, so it is of little use to us. It is an extremely powerful magic weapon. We took the Dragon Immortal power from the Dragon-Slaying Blade, and you also lost a magic weapon! Why not use this Dragon Immortal Platform as a magic weapon, as a memento for the Dragon Immortals?"

After several rounds of refusing, Long Xiaotian insisted, and Ge Xiaoyao had no choice but to accept it. Long Xiaotian further instructed, "This Dragon Immortal Platform, a supreme treasure of the Dragon Clan, requires no incantation; it is only connected to its master's will. Moreover, it can change size at will, from large enough to suppress mountains and fill seas to small enough to be contained within a single particle. It can also contain the life force of all things. The power of the Dragon Immortal Light is like that of a divine weapon. Furthermore, the guardian dragon beast and the water demon beast are both ancient spirit beasts, incredibly powerful. They can be cultivated within the Dragon Immortal Platform in peacetime and released to fight in wartime. If the Third Prince can use them well, he will surely be invincible and unstoppable."

After these words, everyone reluctantly parted ways, and the hundred Dragon Immortals transformed into golden light and headed towards Kunlun. The Dragon-Slaying Blade, having been outside the Buddhist sect for thousands of years, had lost its Buddhist power. Furthermore, the immortal power of the hundred Dragon Immortals attached to it had been withdrawn, causing it to instantly break into several pieces, rendering it unusable. Although Ge Xiaoyao regretted this, he had no choice but to store the Dragon Immortal Platform's divine beast and the water demon beast within the Dragon Immortal Platform, placing them in the void within his body as magical treasures. Thinking to himself, the Dragon Platform was a treasure of the Dragon Clan, recognized by many, making its use inconvenient. However, the Dragon Platform Divine Beast and the Water Demon Beast were rarely seen, making them useful as magical weapons against enemies. Moreover, the Dragon Platform had a unique function: simply being within it would automatically increase one's cultivation level, even without practice. Therefore, he simply had the Dragon Platform Divine Beast and the Water Demon Beast reside within it.

Ge Xiaoyao also considered that the two monsters living together on the same platform might cause trouble. However, after observing them for a while, he found that while the two monsters initially showed some hostility upon first meeting, they quickly became familiar with each other, playing and frolicking, which put his mind at ease.

"Senior Black Dragon, let's go find the Wei River Dragon King Haoyi and discuss our ancient grudges!" Ge Xiaoyao said.

The Black Dragon Saint King nodded and said, "Alright! My grudge with Chi Kuizi is settled; only Haotian remains!"

The two then used their movement techniques and headed straight for the Wei River Dragon Palace.

The Wei River Dragon Palace.

The Wei River Dragon King, having already heard from his dragon soldiers that Ge Xiaoyao had returned with the Black Dragon Saint, paled instantly and immediately dispatched thousands of flying dragon soldiers to accompany him out of the palace.

Behind the Dragon King were thousands of flying dragon soldiers, each with a grim expression, as if facing a formidable enemy. Mo Zhao and Ling Lei also accompanied the army.

Upon seeing Ge Xiaoyao, Ling Lei disregarded the Wei River Dragon King's attempts to stop her and rushed to his side.

"Brother Dragon, I'm sorry to have worried you!" Ge Xiaoyao said upon seeing the Wei River Dragon King, casually pulling the now-renamed Ling Lei into his arms.

"Brother Ge, where have you been!" Ling Lei asked worriedly.

Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly, "It's nothing, I just went to hear a story!" He then glanced at the thousands of flying dragons behind the Wei River Dragon King and said, "Brother Dragon, there's no need for such a grand display to welcome us!"

"Brother Haoyi, yes… why should so many dragon soldiers' lives be sacrificed for our grudges!" the Black Dragon Saint King coldly laughed.

The Wei River Dragon King was startled to see Ge Xiaoyao and the Black Dragon Saint King return at the same time, but feigned composure and hurriedly asked, "Brother Ge, how come this demon dragon isn't dead?"

Ge Xiaoyao coldly smiled, "Dead? Why should he die? Our grudges haven't been settled, how could he die?"

"Exactly, today I, the Black Dragon Saint King, will settle things with you!" the Black Dragon Saint King declared.

The Dragon King of the Wei River said, "Brother Ge, have you forgotten that this demonic dragon killed Yan Qiang!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Lei, who was in Ge Xiaoyao's arms, was also taken aback and asked, "Brother Ge, why didn't you kill him to avenge Ling Lei?"

"Ling Lei... don't say anything more about this now, there will be an explanation later!" Ge Xiaoyao whispered to Ling Lei.

Ling Lei didn't understand, but still nodded and said nothing more.

"Dragon King Haoyi, I will settle the matter of Yan Qiang after you have settled your grudges!" Ge Xiaoyao said loudly to the Dragon King of the Wei River. The

Dragon King of the Wei River's expression changed drastically. Seeing that Ge Xiaoyao suddenly stood aside, he secretly thought that something was wrong. At this moment, he had no choice but to say, "Since that's the case, demonic dragon, no wonder I won't be polite!" He was about to order the Flying Dragon Army to attack the Black Dragon Saint King.

Chapter 203 Resentment Dissipates (Part 2)

"Wait!" Ge Xiaoyao shouted, "This matter is merely a private feud between the Wei River Dragon King and the Black Dragon Saint Lord. I, Ge Xiaoyao, will absolutely not interfere!" He paused,

then coldly laughed, "However, if anyone else tries to interfere, don't blame me, Ge Xiaoyao, for being ruthless!" Ge Xiaoyao's words, imbued with dragon immortal power and filled with killing intent, traveled far and wide to the Flying Dragon Army, instantly chilling the hearts of those with lower cultivation levels.

The Flying Dragon Army already harbored considerable fear of the Black Dragon Saint Lord, and none of them wanted to step forward. Moreover, news of Ge Xiaoyao slaying the Snow Carp Spirit and killing the Water Demon Beast had already spread in recent days, and the dragon soldiers and generals all regarded Ge Xiaoyao as a god. Now that Ge Xiaoyao had spoken, none of them dared to move.

Crown Prince Mo Zhao and Princess Ling Lei were momentarily confused, wondering why Ge Xiaoyao's attitude had suddenly changed so drastically. They were unaware of what had happened at the foot of Jishi Mountain. Ling Lei asked, "Brother Ge, what exactly happened?"

Mo Zhao's expression also changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Brother Ge, what is it?"

Ge Xiaoyao, seemingly unconcerned, said, "You'll soon see the true face of your father!"

Seeing that Ge Xiaoyao did not answer, Mo Zhao turned to ask the Wei River Dragon King.

The Wei River Dragon King said angrily, "That demonic dragon must have deceived Brother Ge!" He then smiled and said to Ge Xiaoyao, "Brother Ge, you must not believe this demonic dragon's nonsense!"

Ge Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Of course, I, Ge Xiaoyao, will distinguish the truth from the falsehood! However, it is still uncertain who the real demonic dragon is!"

"Haoyi, are you still so stubborn?" The Black Dragon Saint King could no longer contain himself and shouted, "For the past ten thousand years, I have been imprisoned under Jishi Mountain by your treacherous schemes. Can you live with yourself?"

"You demonic dragon, stop talking nonsense!" the Wei River Dragon King shouted.

The Black Dragon Saint King coldly laughed, "Back then, when I saw you wreaking havoc on the Wei River, I intended to kill you to prevent future troubles. However, you begged me desperately, so I spared your life in this Wei River. I never expected that you would remain incorrigible, using the pretext of eliminating demonic beasts to lure me to Jishi Mountain, where you conspired with that Chi Kuizi to frame me, sealing me under Jishi Mountain! You, on the other hand, occupied the Wei River and became its king!" He then laughed loudly, gritting his teeth, "You didn't expect that, did you? Heaven's will is clear, I, the Black Dragon Saint King, am still alive!"

The Wei River Dragon King's face changed color, and he felt a chill in his heart. Now, he could only deny everything and forcefully cursed, "Nonsense! It was clearly you, you demonic dragon, who committed these evil deeds. I and the gods are acting on behalf of Heaven!"

"Acting on behalf of Heaven?!" The Black Dragon Saint King laughed wildly. "Back then, Yiqian and I considered you brothers, but I never imagined you would be so greedy for beauty and wealth, plotting to eliminate your elder brother and seize his wife. Is this also acting on behalf of Heaven?!"

At this moment, not only did the Dragon King of the Wei River change color, but even Ling Lei and Mo Zhao's expressions changed drastically. Mo Zhao immediately roared, "Demon dragon, how dare you insult my mother!"

The Black Dragon Saint King glanced at Mo Zhao, a hint of tenderness appearing in his eyes.

Mo Zhao's gaze met his, and his heart suddenly trembled, as if that gaze was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. His anger from before vanished without a trace.

The Black Dragon Saint King smiled slightly, about to speak again, when the Wei River Dragon King said, "Demon dragon, stop spreading your lies here!"

"Haha, I'm spreading lies? Then you're probably the one who's telling the biggest lie!" the Black Dragon Saint King sneered. "You actually managed to come up with the lie that I perished with the demon beast to deceive Yi Qian, and then took advantage of her grief to make her suffer your humiliation for so many years!"

Everyone was shocked, even the flying dragon soldiers were in an uproar.

"Demon dragon! Stop spouting nonsense!" The Wei River Dragon King had no words to refute and could only curse.

"Hmph..." Facing the Wei River Dragon King's curses, the Black Dragon Saint King sneered again and continued, "I was suppressed under that Jishi Mountain by you, unable to move, suffering terribly. Fortunately, the Dragon Immortal Platform was suppressed under Jishi Mountain, and the mountain was shaken off, allowing me to move freely there. I spent my days thinking of seeking revenge on you, enduring ten thousand years of suffering. It was only five years ago that I finally broke the seal and saw the light of day."

"I originally wanted to go to the Dragon Palace to seek revenge on you, but I was no match for you, so I had to hide and spend a few tender days with Yi Qian. A year later, you... Mo Zhao..."

"You demon dragon, you're courting death!" Mo Zhao wanted to step forward to fight, but Ge Xiaoyao stopped him with a look.

"Mo Zhao, wasn't your birthday the eighteenth day of the second month four years ago, when you were born with a piece of black jade in your mouth?" the Black Dragon Saint King said calmly.

Mo Zhao was startled and was about to ask, "How do you know?" but then seemed to realize it was inappropriate. He stopped short of speaking and coldly snorted, "The people of Weishui all know this; it's no secret!"

The Black Dragon Saint nodded and said, "Good...good...it doesn't matter if you don't believe me, the truth will eventually come out!"

At this moment, the Weishui Dragon King said, "Black Dragon, you said that Dragon Terrace is located in Jishi Mountain?"

Before the Black Dragon Saint could answer, Ge Xiaoyao nodded and said, "That's right, Dragon Terrace is indeed located in Jishi Mountain!"

The Black Dragon Saint said, "Not only that, but Chi Kui Zi, who conspired with you to harm me, is also here!"

"Ah?" The Weishui Dragon King was shocked. "Where is Chi Kui Zi?"

Ge Xiaoyao smiled and said, "I've already eliminated him, and the grudge between Senior Black Dragon and him has been wiped clean!"

The Weishui Dragon King didn't believe him and said to Ge Xiaoyao, "Brother Ge, don't be fooled by this demon dragon's clever words!"

Ge Xiaoyao didn't care and just smiled dismissively.

"Hmph!" The Black Dragon Saint King sneered, "Since that's the case, let's find a witness! Quickly bring Yi Qian out and let her identify who among us is the demon dragon!"

The Wei River Dragon King retorted, "What does this have to do with the Dragon Consort! Demon dragon, stop playing tricks! Guards, seize this demon dragon!"

Ge Xiaoyao coldly replied, "Who dares?" The Dragon Immortal Force roared, exploding in the air, its sheer power terrifying.

The Flying Dragon Army stirred, hesitant and uncertain, but ultimately did not act. At this moment, Ge Xiaoyao had already taken to the air, the Dragon Immortal Force swirling like a giant wind, frightening the Flying Dragon Army into not daring to take flight. He had completely taken control of the situation.

"Black Dragon!" A delicate cry rang out; the Dragon Consort had arrived outside the Dragon Palace without anyone noticing.

"Yi Qian!" The Black Dragon Saint King exclaimed, about to step forward, but was stopped by the Wei River Dragon King.

The Dragon King of the Wei River's face darkened, and he said to his Dragon Consort, "Dragon Consort, I have treated you well all these years, so don't talk nonsense."

Everyone present was discerning; the Dragon King's seemingly caring but actually threatening words couldn't fool them. Mo Zhao and Ling Lei were also startled, wondering if their father truly harbored some unspeakable secret.

The Dragon Consort's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face. She then recounted how the Dragon King of the Wei River, Hao Yi, had tricked her into becoming his consort, and how she later met the reborn Black Dragon Saint, with whom she had a son.

Upon hearing this, Mo Zhao felt dizzy, as if he were about to faint. He never imagined that his father was the murderer who had assassinated his own father!

"Hao Yi, you demon dragon, what else do you have to say?!" Ge Xiaoyao shouted fiercely.

"Shameless hussy!" The Dragon King of the Wei River, filled with rage, swung his palm, unleashing a whirlwind of sword-like energy that slashed towards the Dragon Consort.

"Don't harm my mother!" Mo Zhao shouted, stepping forward and unleashing more than ten immortal swords. However, he was far from the Dragon Consort, while the Wei River Dragon King's palm strike swept towards her, and the delicate Dragon Consort was about to die on the spot.

"Ah!" A scream rang out, and everyone's expression changed.

The Dragon Consort stood motionless, her face pale. Before her, a snow-white body slowly collapsed.

"Snow Tail!" The Dragon Consort, Mo Zhao, and Ling Lei exclaimed simultaneously. No one had expected that Snow Tail would suddenly sacrifice herself at this moment, blocking a fatal blow for the Dragon Consort.

Xuewei's jade-like face was bloodless, yet she still managed to gasp for breath, saying, "The Dragon King is no good person! She raised me for five years, and then she made me bewitch Brother Ge! Dragon Queen, Xuewei has no way to repay your kindness in raising me..."

The Dragon Queen's expression also changed, "Child, what are you saying?"

Xuewei said, "That day, the Dragon King ordered me to seduce Brother Ge, to make him stay in the Wei River, thinking he was after wealth and status..."

"Shameless!" the Dragon Queen cursed angrily, "Haoyi, how could you do such a despicable thing!"

The Wei River Dragon King's face changed drastically, and he shouted wildly, "You lowly servant, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Ge Xiaoyao said coldly, "He's right, you lewd dragon, do I need to list all the shameful things you've done?!"

The Wei River Dragon King was now sweating profusely, but still refused to admit it, "Stop spouting nonsense!"

The Dragon Queen's face was filled with hatred, "Haoyi, you saw that our daughter was beautiful, and you made me transform into her likeness... You..." In her extreme anger, she could no longer speak.

Yan Qiang, now renamed Ling Lei, finally understood why the Dragon Consort had suddenly transformed into someone so similar to her. Her face flushed crimson, and she stomped her foot in

anger, speechless. The Wei River Dragon King, his true nature exposed, was enraged and his murderous intent surged again. He unleashed another blade-shaped palm strike towards the Dragon Consort.

"You lewd dragon, you're courting death!" Ge Xiaoyao unleashed his Dragon Immortal Power, intercepting and deflecting the Wei River Dragon King's blade-shaped palm strike, forcing him back several feet.

At this moment, Xue Wei, lying on the ground, cried out in pain. The others rushed to her side and saw that Xue Wei's breathing was weakening, her eyes glazed, and she was on the verge of death.

"Xue Wei!" Ge Xiaoyao remembered his actions that day; though he had meant well, he had been impolite. Seeing her wounded and on the verge of death, he couldn't bear it. Forgetting about the Wei River Dragon King, he immediately grasped her jade-like hand and slowly channeled his Dragon Immortal Power into her.

Xue Wei struggled for a moment, then shook her head, saying, "Brother Ge, it's not necessary… I can't go on…"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Ge Xiaoyao said.

Xuewei gasped for breath and said to Ge Xiaoyao, "Brother Ge, will you promise Xuewei something?"

Ge Xiaoyao was busy channeling his Dragon Immortal Power to try and save Xuewei, and immediately nodded, "Okay, I promise you!"

A faint smile appeared on Xuewei's face, and she said haltingly, "Xuewei... in the next life... can I marry you?"

Ge Xiaoyao felt a pang of sorrow in his heart and silently nodded.

Xuewei smiled sweetly, a trace of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, and her beautiful pupils slowly dilated.

Ge Xiaoyao suddenly felt his Dragon Immortal Power being blocked, knowing that Xuewei's soul had perished, and he stood there stunned.

All these changes happened in an instant. The Wei River Dragon King knew that all was lost, and taking advantage of everyone's dazed state, he suddenly rose from the ground and fled.

"Haoyi, where do you think you're going!" Ge Xiaoyao suddenly noticed, waved his hand, and the Dragon Platform Divine Beast roared out, blocking the Wei River Dragon King like a meteor and intercepting him.

Chapter 204 Resentment Dissipates (Part 2)

"Beast, you're courting death!" The Wei River Dragon King, enraged by the sudden appearance of the monster, unleashed a powerful strike at the Dragon Platform Divine Beast. The Dragon Platform Divine Beast roared, its eyes flashing with divine light, instantly neutralizing the Wei River Dragon King's attack.

At that moment, the Wei River Dragon King heard a whoosh behind him. The Black Dragon Saint King had also launched his attack, a steel rod hurtling towards him.

Though lazy, the Wei River Dragon King was no ordinary man. He dodged the rod, his entire body radiating a sea of fire that burned towards the Black Dragon Saint King.

The Black Dragon Saint King also used his divine power to resist, and the two instantly clashed.

Ge Xiaoyao and the Dragon Platform Divine Beast remained still, for the Black Dragon Saint King had said he would settle his own grudges!

The hatred of being killed and the resentment of having his wife stolen erupted at this moment. The Black Dragon Saint King had unleashed his full divine power, forcing the Wei River Dragon King to retreat repeatedly, unable to keep up.

"Hehe..." The Wei River Dragon King suddenly burst into wild laughter, saying, "Black Dragon, you're ruthless! I truly regret not eliminating you back then, leaving behind such a scourge!"

The Black Dragon Saint King sneered, "Heaven's will is clear, karma will prevail! Hao Yi, come and die!"

The Wei River Dragon King suddenly roared with laughter, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes, "Wishful thinking!" He swiftly waved his palms, and a massive Yin-Yang seal instantly formed where his magical power condensed.

"Ah! Chi Kui's Yin-Yang seal!" Ge Xiaoyao was startled.

The Black Dragon Saint King also cried out in alarm, his face instantly changing color, hurriedly channeling all his dragon power, intending to fight to the death.

The Wei River Dragon King Hao Yi smiled sinisterly, "I, Hao Yi, am no longer the little dragon you trampled on back then, hmph, die!"

The Yin-Yang seal roared out, the golden light it emitted blindingly bright. Ge Xiaoyao, fearing the Black Dragon Saint King couldn't handle it, immediately tried to intervene.

"Third Prince, don't intervene! I will kill this demonic dragon with my own hands!" the Black Dragon Saint King suddenly shouted. He roared, his form transforming into a single-horned, five-clawed black-scaled dragon. He roared to the sky and charged directly at the Yin-Yang Seal.

"Damn it! Isn't he courting death?!" Ge Xiaoyao cursed inwardly, his Dragon Immortal Power rising spontaneously, ready to intervene if the Black Dragon Saint King was outmatched.

In the blink of an eye, the Yin-Yang Seal of the Wei River Dragon King Haoyi completely enveloped the five-clawed black dragon transformed from the Black Dragon Saint King. With a fierce roar from the Black Dragon Saint King and a deafening crash, the massive Yin-Yang Seal was shattered, hurtling towards the Wei River Dragon King Haoyi.

"Damn! You scared me!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, realizing he had worried too much. The Wei River Dragon King's cultivation was too weak; even if he knew the Yin-Yang Seal technique, its power was nowhere near that of Chi Kuizi.

The five-clawed black dragon charged towards Hao Yi, the Dragon King of the Wei River. Hao Yi, naturally, dared not be careless. He roared and unleashed two more Yin-Yang seals, seemingly intending to trap the Black Dragon Saint.

However, unexpectedly, the Black Dragon Saint suddenly transformed into human form, his single-horned iron cudgel lashing out, piercing through the two Yin-Yang seals and striking the Dragon King squarely in the chest.

The Dragon King coughed up blood and staggered back dozens of feet, landing right in the middle of his flying dragon army. Two of his soldiers, unable to dodge, were crushed to death.

"Good! Beautiful!" Ge Xiaoyao exclaimed. He now realized that the Black Dragon Saint had used this method to break the Dragon King's Yin-Yang seal. It turned out that ever since he was imprisoned by Chi Kui Zi with this Yin-Yang seal, he had spent ten thousand years at the bottom of Jishi Mountain, racking his brains for a way to break it. Last time, Chi Kuizi's Yin-Yang Seal was aimed at Ge Xiaoyao, so this move was useless to him. Now, the Wei River Dragon King used it, and it ran right into his trap, instantly breaking his attack and injuring him.

"Haoyi, prepare to die!" the Black Dragon Saint Lord sneered.

"Black Dragon, if I die today, I will die with you!" the Wei River Dragon King suddenly roared, grabbing two flying dragon soldiers aside and rushing towards the Black Dragon Saint Lord with a desperate, all-or-nothing attitude.

"Not good, Senior Black Dragon, be careful!" Ge Xiaoyao shouted hastily when he saw the Wei River Dragon King's desperate act. A surge of dragon immortal power casually formed a protective shield in front of the Black Dragon Saint Lord. With

a loud "boom," the Wei River Dragon King's body exploded into dust.

Everyone was terrified. It turned out that the Wei River Dragon King, Haoyi, had actually self-destructed his primordial spirit in his desperation.

The self-destruction of his primordial spirit was incredibly powerful. Although Ge Xiaoyao had temporarily created a protective shield, the Black Dragon Saint King was caught off guard and struck by the immense force. He coughed up several mouthfuls of blood and plummeted from mid-air like a kite with a broken string.

"Black Dragon!" the Dragon Consort cried out in anguish, about to rush forward, but was pulled back by Ling Lei. Mo Zhao shouted sharply, leaping into the air to catch the Black Dragon Saint King.

Unexpectedly, the father and son met under such circumstances.

Mo Zhao still couldn't believe what he was seeing. Holding the Black Dragon Saint King in his arms, he asked in a sorrowful voice, "Are you really my father?!" The

Black Dragon Saint King smiled at Mo Zhao, nodded, and reached out with difficulty, pulling a thread from Mo Zhao's chest. On the thread was a piece of black jade.

"You...you put it...in the water!" the Black Dragon Saint King said intermittently.

"No!" the Dragon Consort cried out suddenly upon hearing the Black Dragon Saint King's words.

Mo Zhao hesitated for a moment, then stared blankly at the piece of black jade.

The Black Dragon Saint King gazed tenderly at the tear-streaked Dragon Consort, "Yiqian, he is our child!"

The Dragon Consort nodded, sobbing uncontrollably, but said, "But... promise me, don't let him put the Black Jade in the water..."

The Black Dragon Saint King closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and finally said, "Yiqian, alright!"

Mo Zhao hesitated, "Mother, wasn't this Black Dragon Jade Pendant in my mouth when I was born?"

The Dragon Queen nodded, then shook her head, before saying, "Mo'er, this jade pendant wasn't brought with you at birth. It was a token of love given to me by the Black Dragon, your biological father. I've kept it with me all these years until your birth. At that time, the Black Dragon couldn't defeat the demon dragon Haoyi, so he left the Dragon Palace to cultivate in seclusion. Before leaving, he left a message on this black jade with his spiritual essence and blood. It can only be heard when placed in water!"

The Black Dragon Saint King seemed unwilling to listen. After speaking for a while, the Dragon Princess said with difficulty, "Yiqian, don't say anymore! Mo Zhao, remember, this piece of black jade can only be placed in the water after your mother and I have died!" She then sighed deeply and turned to Ge Xiaoyao, asking, "Your Highness, where is the Crown Princess's memorial tablet?"

Ge Xiaoyao knew he was still preoccupied with the matter of accidentally injuring Yan Qiang. Seeing his severe injuries and fearing he wouldn't last much longer, he felt a pang of sorrow. He had intended for him to reunite with his wife and children, but couldn't bear to go against his wishes. After a moment's hesitation, he replied, "In the rear cemetery!"

"Good!" the Black Dragon Saint

said to Mo Zhao, "Take me to the rear cemetery!" Mo Zhao and Ling Lei didn't know who the Crown Prince and Crown Princess were, and looked at Ge Xiaoyao with confusion.

"Damn it! Let's not dwell on the past!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, glancing at Mo Zhao and then at Ling Lei beside him, and slowly said, "Let him go see Ling... no, Yan Qiang!"

The Wei River Dragon Palace, the rear cemetery.

This was actually a vast red coral forest. Although it was called the rear cemetery, there were very few graves. Apart from a few dragon generals who died fighting the snow carp spirit, only Ling Lei's grave was there. The Wei River Dragon King had never intended to die, but now that he was dead, he was no longer qualified to enter this cemetery.

The cemetery was extremely quiet. Ling Lei's grave stood silently between two enormous red corals, the wreaths given by Ge Xiaoyao and Yan Qiang still hanging on it.

Mo Zhao, carrying the Black Dragon Saint King, slowly walked to Yan Qiang's grave. Ge Xiaoyao, Ling Lei, and the Dragon Consort followed slowly behind.

"Third Prince, is this the Crown Princess?" the Black Dragon Saint King asked weakly, pointing to the tombstone.

Ge Xiaoyao silently nodded. He felt that Ling Lei's death was also related to him. If it came to atonement, how could the Black Dragon Saint King be the only one?

"Mo Zhao, get out of the way!" The Black Dragon Saint Lord broke free from Mo Zhao, struggled to turn over, and crawled before Yan Qiang's grave, murmuring, "Crown Princess! I, the Black Dragon Saint Lord, wrongly injured you... Now, I come to atone for my sins!"

Hearing the Black Dragon Saint Lord's words, Ge Xiaoyao and Ling Lei both felt a pang of sorrow. Yan Qiang, who had now changed her name to Ling Lei, was even more heartbroken. She thought that if she were dead, she probably wouldn't be so sad. She leaned against Ge Xiaoyao's chest, two crystal tears slowly sliding down her cheeks.

Even she herself didn't know that since being saved by Ling Lei's life-exchanging magic, not only had her personality changed drastically, but she had also become melancholic instead of tearful. Perhaps, it was because of her tears that she could feel a faint happiness, that she could realize that Ling Lei was still alive, alive in her body, in her heart, and in each and every falling crystal tear.

"Senior Black Dragon, don't blame yourself too much. After all, it was a misunderstanding, and no one wanted this to happen!" Ge Xiaoyao understood Ling Lei's thoughts and lowered his head to speak to the Black Dragon Saint, who was still muttering to himself.

The Black Dragon Saint turned his head, another mouthful of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and smiled bitterly, "No, Third Prince, I said I would give you an explanation! Blood debts must be repaid in blood!"

After saying that, a very relaxed smile suddenly flashed across his face.

A sense of foreboding flashed through Ge Xiaoyao's heart, and the words "No..." escaped his lips.

It was too late.

With a piercing explosion, the Black Dragon Saint's body turned into a cloud of blood mist, slowly scattering in mid-air, landing little by little on the crimson coral tree, on the snow-white tombstone...

"Black Dragon!" The Dragon Consort cried out in grief, unable to bear the tragic scene before her, and fainted.

After burying the Black Dragon Saint, Ge Xiaoyao used his Dragon Immortal power to awaken the overwhelmed Dragon Consort, comforting her with a few words before calming her mind.

Everything was over. Mo Zhao said calmly, "Brother Ge, Sister, Mother, let's go back to the palace first!"

The group nodded and slowly returned to the palace.

Mo Zhao had no mind to think about anything else, and simply ordered the dragon servant to pour some tea.

The group drank their tea in silence, none of them saying a word.

After a long while, Ge Xiaoyao finally said, "The grudge between the Black Dragon Saint and the Wei River Dragon King Haoyi has been settled, and they have both put their minds at ease. Although they are both dead, I think they can rest in peace. There are many things in the Dragon Palace, Mo Zhao..." He had just finished speaking when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, which quickly turned into a tingling numbness that spread throughout his body.

"Oh no! Damn it! This tea is poisoned..." Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, trying to use his dragon immortal power to expel the poison, but he couldn't muster any immortal power. Looking at the others, they were all lying on the ground, stiff and unable to move.

Just then, a loud, arrogant laugh

rang out. Ge Xiaoyao felt a chill run down his spine; the voice was extremely familiar, yet he couldn't place it. His body was paralyzed, but his mind remained clear. He heard a series of hurried, chaotic footsteps; it was Qi Qi being dragged into the hall, bound hand and foot by several dragon soldiers and generals.

Chapter 205 Turtle Overlord Insults His Master (Part 1)

Xiqi Realm, Wei River Dragon Palace.

Ge Xiaoyao, who thought the dust had settled and everything was calm, discovered that everyone had been poisoned by the medicinal tea and was lying on the ground. While feeling indignant, he noticed that Qi Qi had also been captured and brought in, bound hand and foot.

"You beast, how dare you betray your master..." Qi Qi cried out, but to no avail. When she saw everyone lying on the ground, she was stunned. "Mother! Sister! Brother..." She struggled to run towards the Dragon Consort, but was held back by the dragon soldiers and generals.

"Haha..." Another long laugh rang out, and an ugly-looking man entered from outside. Ge Xiaoyao looked closely and saw it was none other than Prime Minister Turtle Overlord!

"Turtle Tyrant! My father has treated you well, why have you betrayed us?!" Qi Qi struggled and demanded angrily. Although she was young, she was born willful and could not bear such humiliation.

Turtle Tyrant laughed, "Hao Yi has treated me well..." but then his face darkened, and he said hatefully, "But he only treats us like slaves! In terms of wisdom, talent, and cultivation, I, Turtle Tyrant, am ten times better than him! Yet we grovel at his feet every day, calling him king and master!"

"Turtle Tyrant, you!" Qi Qi was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Gui Ba glanced at the scattered bodies of people lying on the ground, then let out another long laugh, "Now the Wei River belongs to me, Gui Ba!"

Qi Qi questioned, "What did you do to them?!"

Gui Ba said sinisterly, "They're fine. They just took my Dispersing Power Pill. They'll recover in three days, but... hehe!" He grinned maliciously, "In three days, they'll probably all be beheaded!"

"Beast! How dare you! There are still our three thousand Flying Dragon Army outside. They won't let you do as you please!" Qi Qi cursed.

"Flying Dragon Army? They're all under my control now. Even if I order them to die, they won't say a word!" Gui Ba laughed.

"How could this be?!" Qi Qi felt a sense of despair.

Gui Ba snorted coldly, pointed at Ge Xiaoyao and the others on the ground, and said to the dragon soldiers and generals, "Tie them up and put them in the death row. I'll deal with them after I've killed all those loyal to Hao Yi!"

The dragon soldiers and generals obediently followed his orders, immediately tying up Cong Longfei one by one.

Apart from Ge Xiaoyao, the Dragon Princess and the others were all unconscious and had no choice but to let them tie them up. Although Ge Xiaoyao was conscious, he was powerless and unable to use his Dragon Immortal Power, so he was immediately bound tightly as well.

Gui Ba nodded, paced around, and saw the beautiful Long Fei and Ling Lei on the ground. He chuckled lewdly, "Take these two women to the inner room, and lock the rest in the death row! Keep a good watch on them!"

Qi Qi saw Gui Ba's lewd grin and knew he intended to humiliate her mother and sister. She immediately cursed, "Gui Ba, how dare you!"

Gui Ba, however, was not angry. He walked forward with a lewd grin, gently touched Qi Qi's pink face, and chuckled, "Children shouldn't meddle in adult matters... Now the entire Wei River is mine, and these Long Fei and princesses are naturally mine too! Little Princess Qi Qi, you're still too young! But... I'll wait for you to grow up..." He then let out another lewd laugh.

Qi Qi was so angry that her face turned purple. She spat in Gui Ba's face.

"Ah, this little princess's saliva smells so good..." Gui Ba wiped his face and chuckled lewdly. After a moment's hesitation, he turned to the Dragon Consort and Ling Lei, "I wonder what the Dragon Consort and the eldest princess's saliva is like. It must be even more fragrant and smooth... I'll try it tonight!"

Qi Qi was furious, cursing the beast, and struggling to bump into Turtle Tyrant, but was pulled back by two dragon soldiers.

"Take them away!" Turtle Tyrant said coldly.

Ge Xiaoyao, Mo Zhao, and Qi Qi were dragged into the death row, while the Dragon Consort and Ling Lei were dragged into the back room.

Ge Xiaoyao was indignant, but helpless. He could only think to himself, "Turtle Tyrant, if you dare to touch a hair on their heads, I will make you shattered to pieces and never be reincarnated!"

In the dark death row, Qi Qi was sobbing softly. She was young and had just encountered a great calamity. She could hold on when facing Turtle Tyrant, but now, in this death row, with her elder brother and Ge Xiaoyao beside her, not knowing whether they were alive or dead, she was filled with despair and did not know what to do.

Ge Xiaoyao was conscious, but helplessly unable to speak or move. He wanted to comfort her, but no sound came out. The thought that Turtle Tyrant might already be wantonly humiliating Dragon Consort and Ling Lei filled him with excruciating pain.

"Damn it! Am I just supposed to sit here and wait to die?!" Ge Xiaoyao sighed inwardly. He thought of Jiang Ziya, but he couldn't even use telepathy now. Even if he sent a message to Jiang Ziya, he didn't know if he could enter the already chaotic Wei River Dragon Palace.

Ever since he saw Turtle Tyrant at the victory banquet after defeating the Snow Carp Spirit, he had sensed that he was wicked and would surely rebel in the future. However, the matter was complicated, and he thought it was an internal affair of the Dragon Palace that he shouldn't interfere, so he let it go. But he never expected that Turtle Tyrant would be so bold as to launch a rebellion so quickly.

Just as Ge Xiaoyao had predicted, Gui Ba's rebellion was indeed sudden. He had long harbored rebellious intentions and made secret preparations, but the Wei River Dragon King was always wary of him, making it difficult to act. This time, upon learning that the Wei River Dragon King and the Black Dragon Saint had perished together, he knew this was the best opportunity to establish himself as king, so he hastily launched his rebellion.

Ge Xiaoyao and the Dragon Consort, in their grief, had no mind to guard against such things, and thus easily fell into Gui Ba's treacherous trap. Although there were loyalists in the Dragon Palace who were devoted to the Dragon King and Mo Zhao, they were unaware that the Dragon Palace had changed hands.

Gui Ba led his shrimp soldiers and crab generals, recruiting three thousand flying dragon soldiers in the name of Mo Zhao, and then massacred those loyal to the Dragon King, leaving no one alive, eliminating all traces of them. The Wei River Dragon Palace was immediately plunged into a bloodbath.

In fact, Turtle Overlord and the Black Dragon Saint Lord were old acquaintances. Turtle Overlord was originally a giant tortoise from ancient times, who cultivated for ten thousand years before shedding his tortoise form and transforming into a human. He possessed extremely powerful demonic arts. At the time, he originally occupied the Jing River. After the Black Dragon Saint Lord subdued Hao Yi, the Dragon King of the Wei River, it took considerable effort to subdue him. To appease him, the Black Dragon Saint Lord appointed him as the Prime Minister of the Dragon Palaces of the Jing and Wei Rivers, making him second only to the Black Dragon Saint Lord.

It should be noted that Turtle Overlord was cunning and ruthless, but he also had extraordinary abilities. Knowing that the Dragon King of the Wei River had been killed by the Black Dragon Saint Lord, and that the Black Dragon Saint Lord had committed suicide in front of Yan Qiang's tomb, he immediately decided to rebel. However, fearing that Ge Xiaoyao would interfere, he used a method of poisoning the tea to subdue the others.

Meanwhile, the group was imprisoned in a death row cell, heavily guarded by Turtle Tyrant. He led his trusted men to annihilate the loyal Dragon King, killing countless people in a single day. Returning to the Dragon Palace covered in blood, he didn't forget the Dragon Queen and Ling Lei, whom he had imprisoned in the harem.

In truth, Turtle Tyrant was also a lecherous man. He was a loyal soldier under the Wei River Dragon King, and although he appeared virtuous, he was a thief and a womanizer at heart. He had long desired to take the shrimp maid Xuewei as his wife, but the Wei River Dragon King had always refused. He had secretly tried to seduce Xuewei, but she had always rebuked him. Moreover, his lust was boundless. Ever since the Dragon Queen transformed into the beautiful Yanqiang, he had set his sights on her.

Sometimes at night, thinking of the Dragon Queen's jade-like face and the Dragon King embracing her, he would toss and turn, unable to sleep, wishing he could immediately rebel, kill the Dragon King, and take the Dragon Queen for himself.

After a hearty drinking session with his men, the intoxicated and slurringly drunken Turtle Overlord, with a lewd grin, dismissed the guards and pushed open the door to the inner chamber.

Fearing that Ge Xiaoyao and the others' cultivation levels were too high and the medicine wouldn't be potent enough, Turtle Overlord had added an extremely strong dissipating pill to the tea; Dragon Consort and Yan Qiang were still unconscious.

Although Turtle Overlord was the second-in-command of the Dragon Palace, the Dragon King's inner chamber was forbidden territory to him; he had never been there before. Now, pushing open the door, he was secretly astonished by the luxurious spaciousness inside.

The room was at least five times the size of his original residence, divided into several sections by a screen of jade beauties, with four or five fist-sized luminous pearls hanging around the perimeter, illuminating the room as bright as day.

"Damn! I didn't expect that lecherous dragon to be so extravagant, hmph… now it's my turn to enjoy this spacious house and beautiful women!" Turtle Overlord thought smugly, a smug sense of triumph.

Inside the Dragon King's inner chamber, behind a screen depicting jade maidens, lay a gigantic bed large enough to accommodate seven or eight people. The bed was covered in soft brocade and warm satin, so luxurious it was dazzling.

Turtle Overlord closed his eyes, shaking his head, seemingly unable to believe what he was seeing, as if in a dream. "Damn! Just being able to sleep on this bed for one night would be enough to make me die happy!" he thought to himself.

At this moment, two stunningly beautiful women were tightly bound to the jade bed—Dragon Consort and Ling Lei.

Although Dragon Consort was older, she possessed profound knowledge of underwater health cultivation and was nourished daily with various spiritual herbs, yet she remained as youthful as a young woman in her late teens. Lying next to Ling Lei, they didn't appear to be mother and daughter, but rather like sisters.

However, Dragon Consort's coveted high breasts and long, slender, snow-white legs seemed much more mature than Ling Lei's, exuding an extremely alluring charm.

In Turtle Overlord's eyes, Ling Lei, though young, was immature and tasteless; only a beautiful and mature woman like Dragon Consort could arouse the deepest desires in his heart.

The shimmering light of the pearls reflected on the two delicate, alluring faces, making Gui Ba's heart itch with unbearable desire. "Such a beautiful woman, letting that useless Hao Yi enjoy her all by himself, what a waste! Hehe... she's truly made the best use of me, Gui Ba."

Gui Ba slowly walked to the bed, his eyes, burning with lust, fixed on the Dragon Consort's full, voluptuous body. He first pulled Yan Qiang aside, chuckling lewdly, "Little beauty, you wait a moment. After I've had my fill with the great beauty, I'll let you have your turn..." He

let out a hiccup, a satisfied, lewd laugh. Thinking that it was late at night, and the Dragon Palace was now under his control, with such a beautiful woman before him, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Although his desire was surging, he wasn't in a hurry to make a move. He simply stood before the bed, wanting to admire the limp, tightly bound Dragon Consort to his heart's content.

"Black Dragon, Black Dragon... Haoyi, Haoyi, if you knew that your woman was being feasted on like this, what would you do? You'd probably be furious! Hahaha..." Turtle Overlord muttered, then let out a series of lewd laughs.

He knew this Dragon Consort had no magical power, just a delicate beauty to be manipulated. So, while admiring her alluring face, he slowly untied the ropes binding her.

Chapter 206 Turtle Overlord Humiliates His Master (Part 2)

"Dragon Princess... Dragon Princess... You never expected this, did you? Tonight, you'll actually share a bed with me, Turtle King..." Turtle King muttered lewdly as he untied the ropes.

The ropes were quickly untied and thrown under the bed. Dragon Princess's delicate body remained motionless, allowing Turtle King to do as he pleased.

Turtle King's eyes burned with lust, his heart filled with endless lewd desire. He thought to himself, "This is a long night; I should enjoy myself slowly!" He then lewdly murmured to Dragon Princess, "Come on, Dragon Princess, my beauty, strike a few seductive poses for this Turtle King to see!"

As he spoke, his filthy hands lifted Dragon Princess's jade-like body and, right there on the jade bed, manipulated her head, lifted her chest, swayed her legs, and grabbed her arms, posing the already unconscious Dragon Princess in one incredibly seductive and lewd position after another, making him chuckle lewdly from time to time.

Long Fei's beautiful eyes were tightly closed; the effects of the drug were still taking hold within her. Fortunately, she was unconscious; otherwise, if she knew she was being so humiliated by Gui Ba, even if she couldn't fight him, she would surely bite her tongue and commit suicide.

However, Gui Ba had clearly considered this as well. He was very confident in the effectiveness of his Dispersing Power Pill. Even if Long Fei woke up now, she could only watch helplessly as he violated her, unable to do anything. Gui Ba had been manipulating Long Fei for a long time, his desire burning intensely. He actually hoped that Long Fei would wake up now, increasing his pleasure in venting his lust.

He hadn't expected that Long Fei, lacking cultivation, would be much more affected by the Dispersing Power Pill, while Ling Lei, who did cultivate, would have a weaker effect. Therefore, Ling Lei slowly woke up.

At this moment, Gui Ba was unbuttoning Long Fei's clothes, revealing a large expanse of white skin, but Long Fei remained oblivious.

"Beast, stop!" Ling Lei screamed, but found herself unable to utter a sound. Her throat was parched, her body weak and powerless, unable to move.

"Hehe, Dragon Princess, are you very hot..." Turtle Tyrant, unaware that Ling Lei had awakened, continued to lewdly remove the Dragon Princess's top.

Seeing Turtle Tyrant's lewd behavior, Ling Lei wished she could kill him right then and there, but she could only watch helplessly as her mother was humiliated. She suddenly recalled the scene in the Snow Carp Spirit's demon palace, but here she felt no blushing or heart palpitations, only intense resentment.

"Ah..." Turtle Tyrant groaned, pressing his ugly, gigantic face against the Dragon Princess's snow-white chest, one hand reaching down to caress her jade feet, tracing the smooth, plump thighs.

At this moment, the Dragon Princess was positioned in an extremely lewd posture by the Turtle Overlord, her entire body spread out in a starfish shape. With the Turtle Overlord's violation, the purple skirt was lifted little by little, revealing her snow-white legs.

"Turtle Overlord! I will tear you to pieces!" Ling Lei closed her eyes in pain, two lines of tears rolling down her pink face.

The Turtle Overlord continued to carry out his bestial acts with great pleasure, slowly savoring the pleasure of his body being filled with lust, but one of his hands, which was under the Dragon Princess's head, suddenly touched something hard.

"What is this?" the Turtle Overlord muttered to himself.

The thing was under the sheets, and if the Turtle Overlord's hand hadn't been pressed down by the Dragon Princess's head, he wouldn't have been able to touch it at all.

The Turtle Overlord held the half-naked Dragon Princess aside, reached under the sheets, and took the thing out.

Ling Lei heard the Turtle Overlord seem to have stopped moving, rustling as if searching for something, and then she opened her eyes, but wherever her gaze fell, her face instantly burned as if on fire.

"Hahaha..." Turtle Tyrant burst into a violent, lewd laugh. "Dragon Consort, Dragon Consort, I thought you were some virtuous woman, but I never expected you to do such lewd things with the Dragon King! Hahaha, shouldn't you try it out with me, Turtle King?"

It turned out that what Turtle Tyrant pulled from under the bed was none other than the erotic picture Ge Xiaoyao had seen when he first entered the Dragon Palace and encountered the Dragon King and Dragon Consort.

Just then, he suddenly turned his head and saw that Ling Lei had already woken up, and laughed even louder, "Very well, very well, let your daughter, the Dragon Princess, see this enchanting affair, broaden her horizons, and she'll serve me better in the future!"

"Beast! Shameless!" Ling Lei cursed, but she couldn't open her mouth or utter a sound. Her beautiful eyes were filled with deep hatred; if looks could kill, Turtle Tyrant would have been dead countless times already.

Wei River Dragon Palace, Death Row.

The numbed by the dispersing pill, Ge Xiaoyao finally let out a long sigh and muttered, "I can finally speak!"

Qi Qi suddenly opened her eyes. She had been crying all day, exhausted, and had just barely fallen asleep. Hearing Ge Xiaoyao's voice, she opened her eyes as if she had been saved and called out, "Brother Ge..."

"Qi Qi..." Ge Xiaoyao responded, but saw that the unconscious Mo Zhao had also woken up, but his facial muscles twitched, and he couldn't open his mouth to speak.

Ge Xiaoyao smiled bitterly and thought to himself, "Damn it, I'm usually the one fighting the swallow, but today I've been pecked in the eye by the swallow!"

"Brother, Brother Ge, we have to hurry and save our sisters and Mother! They've been captured by the Turtle Tyrant!" Qi Qi said anxiously.

Ge Xiaoyao nodded and said, "I know all that, but I still can't use my magic... I'm completely weak, and can barely speak. How can I save them?"

Mo Zhao's eyes were filled with confusion and doubt. He was the first to be poisoned by the energy-dissipating pill. He had already fallen asleep when Gui Ba entered the Dragon Palace and had no idea what had happened. Now, seeing himself in the death row and hearing that Gui Ba had captured the Dragon Consort and Ling Lei, he realized that he had fallen for Gui Ba's trap.

In fact, Mo Zhao was well aware that Gui Ba harbored ulterior motives, but he had been studying in Cangmang Mountain for the past few years and hadn't interfered much in the affairs of the Dragon Palace. So, although he sometimes reminded the Wei River Dragon King, the Wei River Dragon King didn't try to help, and he was helpless.

Ge Xiaoyao spoke, taking a few breaths of the foul-smelling air in the death row, and his energy channels gradually began to move again. "Qi Qi, is there any way to untie our ropes?"

Qi Qi shook her head. In fact, she was also bound by ropes cast by Gui Ba's magic, and couldn't move at all, let alone untie others.

"Sigh! I hope this damned Dispersing Power Pill wears off quickly!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself. "May Heaven protect us, and may that Turtle Overlord not harm Dragon Consort and Ling Lei!" He sighed and looked up at the sky.

Just then, two golden beams shot out from Ge Xiaoyao's body, transforming into two strange monsters in front of them, growling softly at Ge Xiaoyao.

"Ah! What is this?" Qi Qi had never seen anything like it before and thought it was some kind of filth from the death row, screaming in fright.

Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly and said to Qi Qi, "It's alright, Qi Qi, don't be afraid. These are my little Water Demon Beast and Dragon Platform Divine Beast!"

Qi Qi finally relaxed, but her face had turned green with fright.

"Damn! How did you get out?!" Seeing the Water Demon Beast and Dragon Platform Divine Beast emerge, Ge Xiaoyao was both surprised and delighted.

The two spirit beasts seemed to understand Ge Xiaoyao's question, pointing their two front paws at Ge Xiaoyao's body, then at themselves, letting out soft growls.

Ge Xiaoyao then understood that although his body had been affected by the Dispersing Power Pill, the Dragon Platform Divine Beast and the Water Demon Beast, trapped within the magical artifact Dragon Immortal Platform, remained unaffected. They had come out to check on Ge Xiaoyao, who had been lying motionless all day.

Ge Xiaoyao was secretly delighted and quickly instructed the two spirit beasts to untie the ropes binding him, Qi Qi, and Mo Zhao.

The two spirit beasts, about the size of small pigs, were adorable and shimmering with golden light. They leaped and bounded, using their mouths and claws to free the three of them.

Qi Qi, unaffected by the Dispersing Power Pill, immediately stood up and said, "Brother Ge, you can't move! I'll go save my sister and mother first!" She was about to rush out when

Ge Xiaoyao quickly said, "Qi Qi, wait!"

"Can you break out of this Dragon Prison? Besides, are you a match for that Turtle Overlord?" Ge Xiaoyao's question left Qi Qi speechless. He stood there dejectedly, letting out a long sigh.

Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly. "Qi Qi, calm down. Give me a little true energy now, so I can use your true energy to summon the Void Bag!" Qi Qi asked

doubtfully, "Will that work?"

Ge Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Trust me, Qi Qi!"

Qi Qi was still half-believing and half-doubting, tentatively sending a wisp of true energy to Ge Xiaoyao.

Ge Xiaoyao was very quick-witted. He immediately used this wisp of true energy to separate a wisp of spiritual consciousness and, using the method of attaching the Dragon Immortal's True Soul, summoned the Void Bag.

"Quickly, open it... give me and Mo Zhao the Heart-Clearing Pills from that black jade bottle!" Ge Xiaoyao said hurriedly when he saw the Void Bag appear.

Qi Qi was at a loss when he suddenly saw a large bag in front of him. Hearing Ge Xiaoyao's instructions, he immediately took out the Heart-Clearing Pills from the bag and gave them to Ge Xiaoyao and Mo Zhao respectively.

After a short while, Ge Xiaoyao let out a long roar and leaped up, his immortal power restored to eighty percent.

Mo Zhao also stood up, his face filled with surprise. He hadn't expected Ge Xiaoyao to actually cure him of the poison from the Dispersing Power Pill. It should be known that in this Dragon Palace, besides the Dispersing Power Pill's effects dissipating on their own, there was no other antidote. He exclaimed, "Brother Ge, you're truly amazing!"

Ge Xiaoyao smiled wryly. In truth, if he hadn't been poisoned by the Dispersing Power Pill, rendering him weak and unable to move, curing the poison would have been a piece of cake.

After all, he was a physician with the highest rank in the Shang Dynasty's harem; if he couldn't handle something like this, how could he be called a physician? Don't think he only knew how to concoct a few aphrodisiacs to fool people; this was his true skill!

"There's no time to lose, let's go out now and rescue the Dragon Consort and Ling Lei!" Ge Xiaoyao said.

Hei Zhao and Qi Qi nodded, and even the Water Demon Beast and the Dragon Platform Divine Beast let out excited growls and nodded repeatedly. Ge Xiaoyao looked at them, smiled slightly, and with a thought, they transformed into two golden lights and were absorbed into his Dragon Platform.

"Brother Ge, how do we get out?" Mo Zhao glanced at Ge Xiaoyao and asked. He had grown up in the Dragon Palace since childhood and was very familiar with this death cell, so he knew that it was truly impenetrable, hence his question. Ge Xiaoyao

looked at the thick iron bars and said disdainfully, "Of course, we rush out and make as much noise as possible. The sooner that Turtle Tyrant finds out, the safer Ling Lei and the Dragon Consort will be!"

However, Ge Xiaoyao immediately thought that although he didn't care about anything, Mo Zhao was the former Crown Prince of the Dragon Palace, and Qi Qi was the Dragon Palace Princess. Facing those dragon soldiers and generals, they naturally couldn't bring themselves to kill them. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Alright, you two just follow behind me and charge out. I promise I won't kill a single person!"

Mo Zhao was overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you, Brother Ge!"

Ge Xiaoyao frowned slightly. He knew that although Mo Zhao was intelligent and brave, he was too kind-hearted and probably not up to the role of a regional overlord. But at this moment, he didn't have time to think too much. He roared and pushed forward with both palms, unleashing a surge of dragon immortal power that smashed through the iron bars like a tidal wave, tearing open a huge gap.

Ge Xiaoyao placed the dragon immortal power shield several feet away to protect Mo Zhao and Qi Qi, released all the counterattack restrictions on it, and charged out first. Mo Zhao and Qi Qi followed closely behind, and the three of them rushed out of the death row together.

Inside the Dragon King's chamber of the Wei River Dragon Palace, Gui Ba, unaware that Ge Xiaoyao and his companions had escaped the death row, was still lewdly admiring the erotic painting, preparing to perform a passionate love scene with the half-naked Dragon Consort, much to the chagrin of Ling Lei, who was livid with rage.

Chapter 207 Gui Ba Insults

His Master (Part 2) Gui Ba chuckled lewdly as he stripped the Dragon Consort of her clothes piece by piece, revealing her pink, delicate body and curvaceous figure. He wiped the drool from his mouth and smiled at Ling Lei, who was nearly fainting with anger, saying, "Princess, don't worry, I'll take care of you soon!"

Tears streamed down Ling Lei's cheeks as she closed her eyes in anguish.

"Those who block my way shall die!" Protected by a protective shield of immortal energy, Ge Xiaoyao burst out of the death row like a whirlwind of light. The dragon soldiers and generals guarding the death row immediately rushed forward, swords and spears raised, attempting to stop Ge Xiaoyao and his companions from escaping. However, their cultivation levels were extremely low; to Ge Xiaoyao's immortal power shield, they were nothing more than clumps of dead flesh. The counter-attacking immortal power on the shield, like bursting fireworks, shredded the swords and spears, sending the pale-faced soldiers flying far away.

"Brother Ge! Let's rush to the Dragon Palace!" Mo Zhao and Qi Qi followed closely behind, watching the charge with trepidation. Mo Zhao truly regarded Ge Xiaoyao as a god, because if he himself charged out, he would probably be surrounded by the dragon soldiers and generals and stabbed to death after only a few steps.

At this moment, some dragon soldiers who had anticipated the situation had already rushed to report to the Dragon Palace. Immediately, thousands of flying dragon soldiers rushed out of the Dragon Palace to intercept Ge Xiaoyao. But how could they be a match for Ge Xiaoyao? They were scattered and broken apart by Ge Xiaoyao's charge and collision. However, the soldiers surged forward as if they were not afraid of death, trying to block Ge Xiaoyao's progress. Moreover, many flying dragon soldiers rose into the air and spat out balls of fire, trying to slow down Ge Xiaoyao's advance.

Seeing the ever-growing number of soldiers surrounding him, Ge Xiaoyao grew anxious. Though he wasn't afraid of these small fry, his dragon immortal power was finally exhausted. He shouted to Mo Zhao behind him, "Mo Zhao, I'm going to kill them!"

Mo Zhao, still clinging to hope for his former subordinates, immediately said, "Wait, brother, I have something to say!" He then shouted to the dragon soldiers and generals outside the protective barrier, "I am Crown Prince Mo Zhao! Gui Ba has betrayed his master and usurped the throne, attempting to humiliate the Dragon Consort and the Princess. His crimes are heinous! Soldiers, don't be deceived by him! Quickly follow me and capture him!"

Ge Xiaoyao's plan to break out of the death row using the immortal power barrier wasn't wrong, but because the barrier shone so brightly, while Ge Xiaoyao could see outside, the soldiers couldn't see inside, so they didn't know who was inside the strange ball of light. Therefore, they swarmed forward

, relentlessly attacking. Mo Zhao's shout immediately caused many dragon soldiers and generals to stop their attack. Those soldiers still loyal to Gui Ba shouted, "He's not Mo Zhao! Mo Zhao is dead! Don't listen to this demon's nonsense!" Their swords and spears continued to attack Ge Xiaoyao. Seeing

this sudden betrayal, Ge Xiaoyao coldly smiled, "Don't blame me for being ruthless! You two little beasts, it's your turn to shine this time!" He then released the Water Demon Beast and the Dragon Platform Divine Beast from the Dragon Platform.

Though small in size, these two spirit beasts, aided by Ge Xiaoyao's dragon immortal power, instantly increased in size tenfold. Each roared and, under Ge Xiaoyao's command, slapped the soldiers loyal to Gui Ba to death, devouring their souls.

At this moment, although the dragon soldiers and generals were numerous, they were terrified by these two strange beasts. Suddenly, someone shouted, and they scattered in all directions.

Ge Xiaoyao cut a bloody path and headed straight for the Dragon Palace.

Inside the Dragon Palace, Turtle Tyrant had just received the news. He cursed angrily, glanced at the beautiful Dragon Consort who hadn't yet had her fill, snorted coldly, and rushed out.

Chaos erupted in the Dragon Palace as Ge Xiaoyao and his companions reached the gates. Turtle Tyrant emerged just then, sneering, "I didn't expect you lot to show up. Very well, let me show you the power of this Turtle King!"

Ge Xiaoyao, worried about Ling Lei and the Dragon Consort, didn't reply, but instead shouted, "Beast, take this!" A surge of Dragon Immortal power transformed into several golden dragons that lunged at Turtle Tyrant.

At this moment, Ge Xiaoyao no longer possessed the Dragon Immortal True Soul, and the five-clawed golden dragons formed from Dragon Immortal power weren't as powerful as before. However, Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, this was more than enough to deal with this mere Turtle Tyrant!

Turtle Overlord roared, suddenly producing a ball of silk thread from his hand. He tossed it into the air, and it instantly unfurled into a giant net, perfectly enveloping the golden dragons. It was unclear what the net was made of, but the golden dragons, formed from Dragon Immortal Power, couldn't tear it apart, forced to roar and circle within it.

"Hahaha..." Turtle Overlord laughed wildly, tightening the giant net. The five-clawed golden dragons were instantly compressed into Dragon Immortal Power, which Turtle Overlord held in his hand from afar, then suddenly threw back.

Ge Xiaoyao dodged, the Dragon Immortal Power exploding behind him with a deafening roar, startling the dragon soldiers who had followed him into scattering in all directions.

"What is this thing? It's so powerful!" Ge Xiaoyao was about to ask when he suddenly heard Mo Zhao exclaim, "Ice Dragon Silkworm Silk!"

Gui Ba sneered, "It is indeed Ice Dragon Silkworm Silk!"

Mo Zhao said angrily, "Gui Ba, wasn't the Ice Dragon Silkworm Silk stolen? How did it end up in your hands?"

Gui Ba laughed, "The Ice Dragon Silkworm Silk is the treasure of my Wei River, how could it be stolen? What a joke!"

It turned out that the Ice Dragon Silkworm Silk was spun by the ancient Ice Dragon Silkworm. It was unbreakable by divine weapons and could be transformed into any true power. There was only one bundle of it in the entire Three Realms. It had always been the treasure of the Wei River, but it was suddenly stolen a few years ago. Although the Wei River Dragon King searched extensively, he found no clues. He never expected that it was Gui Ba who had stolen it.

"Damn! What Ice Dragon Silkworm Silk? It's nothing but a rag doll against me, Ge Xiaoyao!" Ge Xiaoyao sneered. The Water Demon Beast and the Dragon Platform Divine Beast had already arrived with a roar. They were chasing after the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, devouring living souls, and in their excitement, they roared and pounced on Turtle Overlord.

The two spirit beasts, one on the left and one on the right, one in front and one behind, spewed true fire to attack Turtle Overlord. Turtle Overlord never expected Ge Xiaoyao to use this move. Seeing that the two spirit beasts were incredibly fast and had arrived in an instant, he didn't have time to think. He unleashed the Ice Dragon Silkworm Silk Wind, which perfectly trapped the Water Demon Beast Beast, and then gathered his demonic power to fight the Dragon Platform Divine Beast.

"Good!" Ge Xiaoyao had been waiting for this opportunity. He immediately unleashed all his Dragon Immortal Power, and his body followed closely behind the Dragon Immortal Power. The Dragon Immortal Power suddenly transformed into countless sharp blades in mid-air, and in the blink of an eye, they all pierced through Turtle Overlord's body.

Turtle Overlord exploded with a bang, and a cloud of blood mist rose in mid-air.

The Dragon Platform Divine Beast roared and pounced, even seizing the wisp of life force emanating from the blood mist.

At this moment, the Water Demon Beast, trapped in the Ice Dragon Silkworm Net, struggled in vain. In desperation, it spat out a mouthful of Water-Infused True Fire, reducing the Ice Dragon Silkworm Net to ashes. It roared and joined the Dragon Platform Divine Beast in devouring the Turtle Overlord's life force.

Seeing the Water Demon Beast destroy the Ice Dragon Silkworm Net, the group felt regret, but since the Turtle Overlord was already dead, they didn't dwell on it and hurriedly rushed into the Dragon Palace to rescue the Dragon Queen and Ling Lei.

Three days later, at the Wei River Dragon Palace.

Ge Xiaoyao, Mo Zhao, Ling Lei, and Qi Qi gathered together, each silent.

The series of misfortunes had left them all deeply troubled.

First, the Wei River Dragon King and the Black Dragon Saint King had both died tragically; then, the Turtle Overlord had betrayed his master, although fortunately Ge Xiaoyao had killed him, stabilizing the situation. However, the Dragon Consort, unwilling to suffer humiliation, hanged herself.

Mo Zhao slowly took out the piece of black jade from his bosom and said, "Brother Ge, Sister, Qi Qi... Now that Father and Mother have passed away, this piece of black jade records the mystery of my birth. Should I put it in the water and open it to see?"

Ge Xiaoyao was speechless, but Ling Lei said, "Then open it and see. Perhaps we can learn more about the past. However, Mo Zhao, although Hao Yi may not be your biological father, he was very loving towards you. Do you hate him?"

Mo Zhao said, "I hate him! But I hate the Black Dragon Saint King even more..."

Hearing Mo Zhao say this, and remembering the sad things that had happened in the past few days, Qi Qi couldn't help but sob.

Ge Xiaoyao thought for a moment and said, "Mo Zhao, no matter what! The grudges of the previous generation have been resolved. You must pull yourself together and independently support the Jing and Wei Rivers."

Mo Zhao pondered for a moment, then finally sighed and said, "Brother Ge, I know! Are you leaving?"

Ge Xiaoyao nodded. In fact, he had wanted to leave the Dragon Palace for a long time. He had been in the Dragon Palace for more than ten days, which felt like several months in the mortal world. He remembered that he still had to save Yu Lu, who had turned into jade, and he was worried about the outcome of Jiang Ziya's anti-Shang army. However, unexpected events had occurred one after another, and he could not leave. Moreover, he also had to help Mo Zhao stabilize the morale of the Wei River army and deal with the Dragon Consort's funeral arrangements. Only today did he have some free time. He said, "The matter of the Wei River is settled. It's up to you now!"

Mo Zhao nodded and said to Ling Lei, "Sister..."

Ling Lei also said leisurely, "I will always be with Brother Ge!"

At this moment, Qi Qi had stopped sobbing, opened her mouth as if she had something to say, but did not say it. Ling Lei added, "Take good care of Qi Qi..."

Mo Zhao nodded slowly, then took the black jade and examined it intently, a faint glow of true energy emanating from his hand.

Everyone was astonished. Ge Xiaoyao said, "Mo Zhao..."

Mo Zhao smiled slightly, but his smile held a hint of maturity and vicissitude. After experiencing this series of changes, he realized he had matured.

"The past is the past. Dwelling on it only adds to the troubles. What good is it?" He stretched out his hand, and the black jade had already been dissolved by his true energy.

At the Wei River barrier, Mo Zhao clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Brother Ge, until we meet again!"

"Until we meet again!" Ge Xiaoyao smiled. In his view, Mo Zhao's maturity was enough to support the Jing and Wei Rivers.

"Mo Zhao, Qi Qi!...We will come back to see you..." Ling Lei said.

Qi Qi suddenly cried out, "Brother Ge, when I grow up, I'll go with you too..."

Ge Xiaoyao smiled, but his heart was filled with mixed emotions. "Alright... Qi Qi, when you're with your brother in the Dragon Palace, you can't be as naughty and willful as before!"

Qi Qi nodded, forcing back tears and smiling.

Xiqi Realm, by the Wei River.

Ge Xiaoyao, who had just broken through the barrier, breathed in the earthy air and looked at the sky dotted with white clouds. The depression in his heart vanished.

"Ling Lei... let's go find Brother Jiang!" He hugged Ling Lei in his arms.

Ling Lei nodded, then turned back and looked at the Wei River with lingering affection. Suddenly, she said, "Brother Ge, I want to go back to Cangmang Mountain sometime!"

Chapter 208 Seven-Colored Enchantress (Part 1)

It is said that after Ge Xiaoyao and the dragon girl Ling Lei, who was also Yan Qiang in the Shang Palace, finished dealing with the matter of the Wei River, they came out of the Wei River barrier and headed straight for Xiqi City without stopping.

The past was too painful to recall. Looking back, Ge Xiaoyao sighed at the vicissitudes of life. Since leaving Xiqi City and mistakenly entering the Dragon Palace's barrier, so many twists and turns had occurred in just a few dozen days. He thought of Daji, possessed by the nine-tailed fox, and how he was powerless to save her, feeling a pang of guilt.

Despite this guilt, he was secretly relieved that Yan Qiang was safe and sound by his side, despite the trials. However, a new emotion stirred within him: the ethereal fairy Ling Lei. Although his time with Ling Lei was short, he could never forget her selfless act of saving Yan Qiang. The dead cannot be brought back to life; only this unforgettable memory remained.

He looked at the gentle and tender Yanqiang beside him, and then at the Xiqi land that was already sprouting spring, with the grass green in the distance but not up close. A wave of bittersweet emotions washed over him. He let out a long sigh and thought to himself, "I hope I won't let them down again!"

Ling Lei, however, had a different set of thoughts. This sweetness of being with her lover was hard-won. She had no regrets about the humiliation, torment, and years of losing her memories in the Dragon Palace. But whenever she thought of the Cang Mang sisters willingly sacrificing themselves for her, a pang of sorrow gripped her chest. Although she had changed her name to Ling Lei, she was not the real Ling Lei. Two crystal tears involuntarily streamed down her face. However, she knew these tears were not her own, but Ling Lei's. "Sister Ling Lei, don't worry... I will take good care of Brother Ge!"

Each lost in thought and sighing, they unknowingly arrived at the gates of Xiqi City. In the distance, they saw a powerful blue ox with iron hooves and a bronze head, its body gleaming, carrying an old man, galloping out of the city. Behind the ox followed a dozen or so fast horses. Though the horses were fast, they could not catch up with the blue ox.

"What a strong ox! It could easily outrun a thousand-mile horse!" Ge Xiaoyao exclaimed, his eyesight telling him that this blue ox could definitely travel over a thousand miles a day.

"Yes, who is that old man riding the blue ox?" Ling Lei asked.

Ge Xiaoyao then remembered that Yan Qiang had never met Jiang Ziya, and smiled, "He is my sworn brother... Jiang Ziya, the current Prime Minister of Xiqi!"

At this moment, Jiang Ziya arrived on the blue ox. Although his hair and beard were still white, his complexion had improved considerably, his face glowing. He wore a brand-new gold-embroidered Taoist robe, making him appear extraordinary, noble, and dignified. "Brother Ge, it's been two months, and your cultivation has improved considerably!" Jiang Ziya chuckled.

Ge Xiaoyao laughed, "Brother, you jest! You know, I faced near-death experiences at the bottom of the Wei River! What brings you here, brother, in such a hurry to leave the city..." He pointed to the warriors spurring their horses onward, but their horses were too weak to keep up, and added, "Even those soldiers couldn't wait a moment!"

Jiang Ziya stroked his beard and smiled, "There's no urgent matter. The most urgent thing right now is welcoming Brother Ge! However, Brother Ge's cultivation has indeed increased at an astounding pace. I used all my strength to calculate your return today, so I rushed out to greet you!

" Xiaoyao hurriedly smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother!"

Jiang Ziya sat steadily on the back of the green ox, but glanced at Ling Lei beside Ge Xiaoyao. Seeing that she exuded dragon energy but was in human form, he asked, "And this young lady is..."

Ge Xiaoyao smiled and was about to speak when Ling Lei said, "My name is Ling Lei. I come from the Wei River Dragon Clan and learned my skills in Cangmang Mountain. I came with Brother Ge this time, and I hope Brother Jiang will give me some guidance!"

Ling Lei was very clever and knew that Jiang Ziya was an old friend of Ge Xiaoyao, but she did not want to mention the past events in the Shang Palace, so she cut off Ge Xiaoyao's words.

Ge Xiaoyao understood Ling Lei's meaning and immediately laughed, "Brother Jiang, Ling Lei and I have already tied the knot in the Wei River Dragon Palace. After entering the city, I must ask for your help to drink a cup of wedding wine!"

Jiang Ziya chuckled and nodded, "Of course we should drink the wedding wine. I am also happy that Brother Ge has found his soulmate!" He then secretly deduced Ling Lei's background and origins, and without revealing it, he laughed and said, "Then let's go back to the city together!"

Ge Xiaoyao and Ling Lei exchanged a glance and said, "Thank you, Brother!"

At this moment, Jiang Ziya's guards brought over two horses. Ge Xiaoyao and Ling Lei each rode one, chatting and laughing with Jiang Ziya as they entered Xiqi City.

It turned out that after Ge Xiaoyao used the power of the Wei River Dragon Army to force back the Shang army that came to besiege and suppress Xiqi, Jiang Ziya pursued the victory. Xiqi's 100,000 elite troops were invincible, their spearhead pointing directly at Chaoge City. In the past two months, they had captured four cities and reached Yangcheng Pass, the border of the Shang Dynasty.

Just as Jiang Ziya was preparing to take Yangcheng Pass in one fell swoop, Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, fell ill due to overwork, and his condition was critical, fearing he would not live much longer. Jiang Ziya had no choice but to leave the Xiqi general Bo An to lead the army to garrison Yangcheng Pass and continue the attack. He himself returned to Xiqi, firstly to visit the Marquis of Xibo, and secondly to assist Prince Ji Fa in managing state affairs. One day, during a moment of leisure, he suddenly thought of Ge Xiaoyao and used his immortal power to cast a divination, but he could barely sense Ge Xiaoyao's presence. Only after exhausting all his immortal power did he finally learn that Ge Xiaoyao had arrived at the gates of Xiqi and hurriedly rode his blue ox out of the city to meet him.

"The Marquis of Xibo is critically ill?" Upon hearing this news, Ge Xiaoyao was also shocked, as he had met the Marquis of Xibo several times. He once carried the Marquis of Xibo from Chaoge directly to Xiqi on a giant eagle. However, as instructed, the Marquis of Xibo returned only to say that he had been saved by his 101st adopted son, Lei Zhenzi, and no one else knew about it. Thinking of this, Ge Xiaoyao also had the idea of visiting the Marquis of Xibo. He said, "I have met the Marquis several times. He is critically ill and I am afraid he is in great danger. I would like to visit him. Is that alright?"

Jiang Ziya readily agreed, saying, "However, Brother Ge has just arrived in Xiqi, so I will naturally treat you first. But it is not too late to visit him later!"

Ge Xiaoyao nodded, and the group rode at a leisurely pace towards Xiqi City. Along the way, they saw that Xiqi City was bustling with people and quite prosperous, showing no signs of war. Ge Xiaoyao exclaimed, "I never imagined that Xiqi City is no less impressive than the Shang capital, Chaoge!"

Jiang Ziya smiled and replied, "It's all thanks to the benevolent rule of the Marquis of Xibo over the years. The people flock to Xiqi, and although war has broken out, our troops are well-trained and our provisions are plentiful, so the people haven't been disturbed!"

As they spoke, they arrived at the Prime Minister's residence. Ge Xiaoyao saw that Jiang Ziya's residence consisted of only five thatched huts, with just two old servants and a few guards. It was even worse than the toilet in the Pleasure Pavilion of the Shang Palace, a place he himself had once lived in. He inwardly sighed at its shabby state, but he knew Jiang Ziya's character: a noble person living in a humble abode was a testament to his reputation and talent. As the saying goes, "A mountain is not valued for its height, but for the immortals dwelling there; water is not valued for its depth, but for the dragons residing within!" He then laughed, "Prime Minister of Xiqi, gaining the world from a humble thatched hut is quite a remarkable story!"

Jiang Ziya smiled, but sighed, "To be honest, Brother Ge, being the head of a family is difficult, and being the ruler of a country is no easy task. Although Xiqi currently has a well-trained army and ample provisions, the Shang dynasty has a solid foundation built over hundreds of years. Even a slight challenge would be difficult, and overthrowing it would be even harder. Who knows how long this war will last? Therefore, Xiqi is currently focused on securing provisions and strengthening the population. As for building palaces and temples, which would waste the people's resources, your elder brother will not do such things!"

Ge Xiaoyao and Ling Lei all laughed.

Jiang Ziya then ordered his old servant to bring tea and prepare food and wine.

"Brother Ge, I see your cultivation has increased several times over. You must have had some extraordinary encounters under the Wei River barrier, right?" Jiang Ziya stroked his beard and smiled.

Ge Xiaoyao chuckled, glanced at Ling Lei, and said, "It's a long story. This time, I, your brother, also faced countless dangers and near-death experiences!"

He then recounted the events of eliminating the snow carp, slaying the beast demon, and capturing the dragon immortal in the Dragon Palace, but omitted the details concerning Ling Lei and the grudges between the Wei River Dragon King and the Black Dragon Saint Lord. He feared that mentioning these things would remind Ling Lei of the past and cause her sadness.

Meanwhile, an old servant brought out wine and food, a simple meal. Neither Ge Xiaoyao nor Ling Lei were pampered or extravagant, and knowing that Xiqi was currently in a state of war and chaos, they didn't mind.

Ge Xiaoyao and Jiang Ziya ate and talked, downing large cups of wine at particularly exciting parts. These extraordinary events were unheard of by Jiang Ziya; after all, although he had reached the Earth Immortal level, he had never been to the Dragon Palace's protective barrier.

Finally, Jiang Ziya clapped his hands and praised, "Well done, Brother Ge! I knew you were no ordinary person;

you're destined for great things!" The two were very excited and drank several cups, both becoming somewhat tipsy.

After their meal, it was getting dark, and Jiang Ziya intended to take Ge Xiaoyao to visit the Marquis of Xibo. Just then, a report came. Jiang Ziya responded, and a weary-looking soldier, covered in dust and clearly having traveled for days, entered. He saluted Jiang Ziya and said, "Prime Minister, I am a soldier from the vanguard, ordered by General Bo An to present you with an urgent military report from Yangcheng Pass!" He then handed over a silk scroll.

Jiang Ziya took the scroll and, without avoiding Ge Xiaoyao, immediately opened it. After silently reading it, he frowned and muttered to himself, "The Seven-Colored Demoness?..." seemingly lost in thought.

"Prime Minister..." The soldier, growing increasingly impatient, saw Jiang Ziya seemingly lost in thought, remaining silent for a long time. He forced a shout to bring Jiang Ziya back from his reverie.

"Prime Minister, what should be done? We await your reply at Yangcheng Pass!" the soldier added.

Jiang Ziya frowned again, pondered for a moment, and said, "Alright, report back to General Bo'an, instructing him to hold the camp and not engage in battle. Reinforcements will arrive within three days!"

The soldier quickly agreed, accepting the order and preparing to leave.

At this moment, Jiang Ziya said, "Wait a moment, how many days have you been here from Yangcheng Pass?"

The soldier replied, "Reporting to the Prime Minister, I rode here at full speed without stopping, and it only took me two days!"

Jiang Ziya seemed thoughtful, then nodded and said, "Alright, you've had a hard journey delivering the message! Rest here for a day, and I'll send someone else with a letter from my own hand to General Bo'an!"

The soldier seemed deeply moved, and after a long while, he said, "Thank you, Prime Minister!"

Jiang Ziya then instructed his old servant to take the soldier away to rest and prepare food and drink.

"Brother loves his soldiers like his own children, it's truly touching! In this way, who in the entire army wouldn't fight to the death for Brother!" Ge Xiaoyao watched the old man and the young man leave, and suddenly recalled the scene when he led his troops on a distant expedition to the Western Barbarians, treating the soldiers' illnesses, and the soldiers' tears of gratitude as they charged into battle. He felt a surge of emotion and couldn't help but praise him.

Jiang Ziya smiled and said, "To understand the enemy from within is the way of leading an army!" He added, "Brother, wait a moment. I'll write a letter to the Yangcheng Pass camp, and then we'll go visit Lord Xibo!"

Ge Xiaoyao didn't know what was so urgent, but with so many soldiers around, he couldn't ask, so he could only agree, "Alright!"

After returning from Lord Xibo's palace, Jiang Ziya was still frowning. When it was late at night, and Ge Xiaoyao and Jiang Ziya sat alone by candlelight, Ge Xiaoyao asked, "Brother Jiang, I saw you looking worried during the day. Was it because the campaign at Yangcheng Pass went badly?"

Jiang Ziya sighed and nodded, saying, "Seeing our army's strength, Yangcheng Pass somehow hired a demoness named Seven-Colored Enchantress. She set up a 'beautiful women array' in front of the city, injuring countless soldiers. I wanted to go there myself, but Lord Xibo is critically ill, and I can't leave..."

Only then did Ge Xiaoyao realize that Jiang Ziya had no generals to use. Hearing Jiang Ziya's words, the Seven-Colored Demoness was merely skilled in seductive arts. He immediately said, "Brother, why don't I go and break the formation for you? Let's meet that Seven-Colored Demoness and see what's so powerful about her alluring array!"

Chapter 209 Seven-Colored Demoness (Part 2)

"Brother Ge, I'll go with you!" Ling Lei suddenly stepped forward, her eyes burning with desire. She hadn't actually slept; she'd been listening to Ge Xiaoyao and Jiang Ziya's conversation from next door.

Jiang Ziya's thatched hut was incredibly simple, lacking even basic soundproofing. But if Jiang Ziya wanted to protect himself, would he need soundproofing? He could easily create a magical illusion array; it would be difficult for anyone to break it.

However, neither Jiang Ziya nor Ge Xiaoyao were on guard; Ling Lei had overheard their conversation.

Although Ling Lei had learned the Nine Yin Yang-Gathering Technique from Ge Xiaoyao in the Shang Palace, which was also a form of lewd art, it was only under extraordinary circumstances that she had no choice but to use it. Now, she deeply abhorred those lewd arts that bewitched men. Moreover, now that she was born into the Dragon Clan and had also learned the Immortal Sword Technique of Cangmang Mountain, she hurriedly followed Ge Xiaoyao's offer to eliminate the Seven-Colored Demoness.

"Hmm..." Jiang Ziya knew that Ling Lei had overheard his words, and his old face showed some embarrassment. After all, it wasn't a very honorable thing for this young girl to talk about lewd arts. He stammered and remained silent.

Ge Xiaoyao nodded and said, "I suppose that lewd art is only aimed at my Xiqi soldiers. It probably won't have much effect on women. It's not a bad idea for Ling Lei to go. If she can break this formation, it will be a great achievement!" He knew Ling Lei very well. He knew that although she appeared weak, she was extremely strong at heart. Now that she had gained power and cultivation, she had gained an even more heroic air in her demeanor and speech. She was a woman herself, and she was no stranger to such erotic arts. She figured that even if she couldn't break the alluring woman's formation, she could at least escape unscathed and not be bewitched by it.

Seeing Ge Xiaoyao's words, Jiang Ziya immediately said, "Alright, I'll write another letter right away. Once you reach Yangcheng Pass, you can give it to General Bo'an, and he will fully cooperate with you!"

Ge Xiaoyao nodded and urged Jiang Ziya to write the letter quickly, as he and Ling Lei needed to rush to Yangcheng Pass that very night to assist in the battle.

Jiang Ziya said, "I've already told Bo'an that reinforcements will arrive within three days. With your cultivation levels, you could easily reach Yangcheng Pass in a day, so what's the rush!"

Ge Xiaoyao chuckled and said, "It's not that I'm in a rush, but I'm worried that the Seven-Colored Demoness's magic is extremely powerful. Even if our army doesn't fight, she'll still find an opportunity to cause trouble. If that happens, wouldn't our army be in grave danger?..." He paused and then added, "Besides, Brother Jiang, have you forgotten our agreement from last year?"

"Last year's agreement?" Jiang Ziya asked, genuinely unable to recall any agreement with Ge Xiaoyao from last year. It wasn't until Ge Xiaoyao took out the jade stone from his robes that he suddenly remembered that last year he had promised to help Ge Xiaoyao travel the world on the fourth day of the fourth lunar month, a Yin year, to collect Yu Lu's soul and restore her to human form. He hurriedly laughed and said, "I was so confused by all these Shang and Zhou affairs that I almost forgot about this! It'll be the fourth day of the fourth month in just over ten days..."

Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly and said, "I'll need your help then, brother!"

Jiang Ziya said, "Brother Ge's affairs are my affairs! Especially such a matter of life and death, I absolutely cannot be careless!"

Ling Lei, standing to the side, was completely bewildered, not knowing what riddle Ge Xiaoyao and Jiang Ziya were playing. "What is it? It has to be the fourth day of the fourth month?"

Jiang Ziya looked at Ling Lei, then at Ge Xiaoyao, and slowly shook his head with a smile, "Miss Ling Lei, let Brother Ge tell you this story. I'll write a letter to General Bo'an right now!"

"Damn! You cunning old fox... I knew you didn't want to get involved!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, amused by Jiang Ziya's ambiguous expression.

He then said to Ling Lei, "Ling Lei, let's talk outside!" Inside Xiqi City, all the lights were out, except for a crescent moon hanging in the sky, emitting a clear, cold light. The weather wasn't very warm yet; one could exhale a puff of white mist. However, this clear, cold moonlight and the chilly breeze were most likely to evoke nostalgic thoughts and reflections on past heartbreaks.

After hearing Ge Xiaoyao's story about Yu Lu, two clear tears quietly slid down Ling Lei's face. "Brother Ge, I always thought my life was miserable, but I never imagined that Sister Yu Lu's life was even more miserable! Fortunately, the fourth day of the fourth lunar month, a day of complete yin, is not far off. You and Brother Jiang must save her!"

Hearing Ling Lei say this, Ge Xiaoyao was also filled with emotion. He had always thought that women were passionate but also prone to jealousy and rivalry, but he hadn't expected Ling Lei to be so kind-hearted. He was deeply moved and quietly embraced Ling Lei, wiping away her tears. Feeling the warmth of her fragrant shoulders and soft arms, he said, "Don't worry, Ling Lei... I will definitely save her!"

Ling Lei nodded. In fact, Ling Lei had often seen men with many women in the Shang Palace, not to mention King Zhou's three thousand concubines. Therefore, she didn't have Ge Xiaoyao's heart to herself. However, she was saddened by the suffering of the woman who loved Ge Xiaoyao, and tears rolled down her cheeks like jade beads when she thought of this.

Ge Xiaoyao quickly comforted them, and the two lingered for a long time in the clear, cold moonlight and the stillness of the night before returning to the thatched hut in the Prime Minister's residence.

At this time, Jiang Ziya had already written a letter and was waiting for their return.

"Brother, there's no time to lose... Ling Lei and I will go to Yangcheng Pass to assist in the battle!" Ge Xiaoyao said , putting away the letter.

Jiang Ziya nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Alright, but if we are no match for that alluring woman's formation, don't act rashly. Just remain still and discuss it further when I return!"

Ge Xiaoyao smiled and said, "With her name, Seven-Colored Demoness, how powerful can she be? Brother, just rest assured and await our good news!"

Ling Lei also said, "Brother, don't worry, we will be cautious!"

Jiang Ziya then escorted Ge Xiaoyao and Ling Lei out of the thatched hut of the Prime Minister's residence, watching them fly away into the sky before finally letting out a long sigh of relief. You might wonder why Jiang Ziya, a man destined for greatness, was so anxious. It was because of the Investiture of the Gods. Although he had received instructions from the Kunlun Sect Ancestor, Yuanshi Tianzun, he lacked powerful celestial generals. He had personally commanded the previous battles, relying on his mastery of military strategy and his understanding of Yin and Yang to achieve several victories. However, he was not an omnipotent Great Luo Golden Immortal, unable to control the birth and death of all things. Currently, according to his divination, the Marquis of Xibo, Ji Chang, was nearing the end of his life. Although Ji Fa was intelligent and brave, he was still young and lacked prestige. The newly established ruler was bound to cause some turmoil. If the battles at the front went poorly and morale wavered, his grand plan to overthrow the Shang dynasty would likely be jeopardized.

At this moment, Ge Xiaoyao and Ling Lei bravely went to assist in the battle. He was naturally at ease, because with Ge Xiaoyao's cultivation level, few immortals, demons, or monsters in this world could rival him. Meanwhile,

Ge Xiaoyao and Ling Lei traveled eastward towards Yangcheng Pass, both flying through the air, not in a hurry. They admired the boundless moonlight while whispering intimate words.

"Brother Ge, Ling Lei has something to ask you. Please don't hide it from me, okay?" Ling Lei suddenly asked.

Ge Xiaoyao smiled and said, "What do I need to hide from you?! Tell me quickly… I'll tell you everything!"

Ling Lei smiled sweetly, her already beautiful face veiled in the moonlight, even more alluring. If they weren't both in mid-air, Ge Xiaoyao would have immediately kissed her.

"Brother Ge, how many female confidantes do you have? Tell me all about them!" Ling Lei said.

"Oh..." Ge Xiaoyao agreed, smiling, "Alright! I'll tell you, but I have too many female confidantes, so don't be jealous!"

Ling Lei's beautiful eyes conveyed affection under the moonlight as she playfully scolded, "Having more sisters is a good thing, why would I be jealous?!"

Ge Xiaoyao thought about it and realized he hadn't really considered this question. How many female confidantes did he have? He probably needed to sort it out in his mind.

"Chu Yu... was my girlfriend before my reincarnation... but now she's possessed by that nine-tailed fox demon, and I'm powerless to save her! It seems I'll have to wait until the Shang Dynasty is destroyed before I can subdue the nine-tailed fox demon and save Chu Yu!" Ge Xiaoyao said slowly, thinking as he spoke.

Ling Lei nodded, her beautiful eyes looking at Ge Xiaoyao with deep emotion, silently memorizing the words. “ Duo

Mei… the Holy Maiden of the Eastern Barbarian Holy Sect, I met her during my campaign against the Eastern Barbarians. She betrayed the sect's rules for my sake and was punished with the torment of being crawled on by ten thousand mosquitoes and ants…” Ge Xiaoyao felt a chill run down his spine whenever he thought of the swarm of mosquitoes and ants crawling on Duo Mei’s snow-white body.

“Xiao Yao… she once saved me, and I once saved her. She even willingly entered the palace to be chosen as a concubine just to find me in Chaoge… but… I’ve always considered her a younger sister. I don’t know if Duo Mei has managed to persuade her otherwise.”

“Yu Lu… the one I just told you about…”

Ge Xiaoyao listed them one by one, including Chong Yu Ran, the former Consort Zhuang of King Zhou, the deceased former Holy Maiden Consort De of King Zhou, Yue Xin, who was killed by Shi Ji for avenging Elder Zi Ling Yan of the Eastern Barbarians, and Tian Xin, the fox demon he only met once in Baicao Mountain but seemed to have known for a thousand years… He didn’t know if he should tell Ling Lei about them.

"Brother Ge, it turns out these sisters are all people with tragic fates too. I hope you will treat us well from now on!" Ling Lei nestled softly in Ge Xiaoyao's arms, speaking emotionally.

Ge Xiaoyao thought of all the women who had suffered for him or because of him, and a pang of sorrow gripped his heart. The vow he made in the Dragon Palace that day was still vivid in his mind, "I, Ge Xiaoyao, will never again betray any woman who loves me!"

"Brother Ge, what are you thinking about?" Ling Lei suddenly asked, pulling Ge Xiaoyao back from his thoughts.

"Oh, nothing..." Ge Xiaoyao came back to his senses, seeing Ling Lei's deep and beautiful eyes, and sighed inwardly, unconsciously hugging her even tighter.

"Brother Ge, look... isn't that Yangcheng Pass?" Ling Lei suddenly pointed to a brightly lit city and asked Ge Xiaoyao.

The city wasn't very large, but because it was brightly lit, it was quite eye-catching in the night. Ge Xiaoyao silently calculated the time and laughed, "I'm afraid not. We've only traveled two hundred li as we walk and talk, how could we have reached Yangcheng Pass?"

"Yes!" Ling Lei nodded in agreement.

Ge Xiaoyao took another careful look at the city. His cultivation had increased considerably, and his eyesight was excellent. Even from mid-air, he could clearly see soldiers on horseback carrying torches moving about inside the city. He immediately understood and laughed, "This must be the prefecture our Shang army has occupied, and they are currently hunting down the remaining Shang soldiers at night!"

Ling Lei nodded to indicate that she understood and said, "Brother, let's hurry... Break that seductive demon formation as soon as possible, capture the Seven-Colored Demoness, so that the Shang army can quickly attack Chaoge and rescue Sister Chu Yu!"

Chapter 210 The Seven-Colored Demoness (Part 2)

Outside Yangcheng Pass, the Xiqi army camp.

As night deepened, the lights of the Xiqi army camp gradually thinned, a dark cloud obscuring the bright moonlight. Apart from the footsteps of patrolling soldiers and the occasional clash of swords and spears, the entire camp was dark and silent.

Today marked the third day of the Xiqi army's consecutive defeats against the Enchanting Women's Formation. The Xiqi army remained entrenched in their camp, their morale somewhat low. The soldiers sent to report back to Xiqi had not yet returned. Inside the central command tent, the lights were dim, and Commander Bo'an was anxiously awaiting news, his brow furrowed.

However, the merchant army at Yangcheng Pass was ordered to defend the pass to the death, refusing to attack. The Enchanting Women's Formation was outside the pass, and even the five scouts Bo'an had sent out had not returned, likely already captured by the Yangcheng Pass garrison.

Bo'an was a seasoned warrior, having witnessed countless scenes of bloodshed and carnage. He was fearless in real battles, even when a steel blade was held to his neck, he wouldn't blink an eye. However, the strange enemy he encountered this time left him feeling uncertain.

He had initially thought that the mere "Enchanting Women's Formation," with its hundred or so strong soldiers armed with powerful bows and sharp blades, would be easily subdued. But these hundred soldiers, after entering the formation, were all thrown out in less than half an incense stick's time, their bodies dismembered, a gruesome sight.

For the second attempt to break the formation, Bo'an dispatched a thousand-strong army, three men back-to-back, ninety men in a row, charging step by step into the Enchanting Women's Formation. But to his surprise, these men also only lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. When the mist within the Enchanting Women's Formation dissipated, only the corpses of a thousand soldiers remained on the ground.

The third attempt failed, and Bo'an was frantic. He sent a full three thousand troops to attack the Enchanting Women's Formation, believing that this time there would be no mistake, that even a human push would be enough to level the formation. But as it turned out, he was wrong again… None of the three thousand men returned. This time, they weren't killed, but each of them was stripped naked and forced to walk to the top of Yangcheng Pass, where they jumped off the dozens of feet high city wall one by one. What was most infuriating was that the demoness Cai Yaoji actually sneered from the city wall: "Mocking the Xiqi army as nothing but a rabble, her single alluring woman formation is worth ten thousand soldiers!"

A humiliating disgrace! Bo'an racked his brains for a solution but to no avail. He had no choice but to send his trusted soldiers on horseback back to Xiqi to consult Jiang Ziya and request reinforcements.

The torches beside the tent door flickered a few times. Bo'an frowned again; his intuition told him that something unusual might happen tonight. He had just risen, preparing to leave the tent to order more patrols, when he heard a commotion of footsteps, followed by soldiers shouting, "Catch the assassin..."

Ge Xiaoyao and Ling Lei stood in the center of the camp, coldly facing the soldiers who had surrounded them and were still surging forward. The torches they lit illuminated the night like day. At their feet lay the corpses of more than a dozen soldiers; the "Patrol" badges on their chests identified them as patrolling guards.

Ge Xiaoyao's immortal energy shield had already been activated, and several soldiers who tried to charge forward were repelled. Although they were not injured, they were still in pain from the fall. The other soldiers dared not advance further, but simply surrounded them.

Ge Xiaoyao coldly said, "Summon your commander, Bo'an, to come out and see me!"

The soldier was stunned, momentarily confused about the origins of these two assassins. There were no such figures among the Shang army at Yangcheng Pass. Immediately, a soldier rushed towards the central command tent.

"Damn! I didn't expect to run into something like this so soon after arriving!" Ge Xiaoyao muttered to himself, glancing at Ling Lei. Ling Lei's face was expressionless, seemingly even calmer than his.

Ge Xiaoyao and Ling Lei used their aerial magic to rush to the foot of Yangcheng Pass. It was still dark, and the Xiqi army camp was quiet under the hazy night. They intended to find a patrolling soldier to lead them to General Bo'an, but Ge Xiaoyao suddenly noticed a strange aura emanating from the edge of a military camp.

So, he and Ling Lei quietly went over.

What they saw shocked them. There were a dozen patrolling soldiers, each embracing a naked, snow-white woman, their eyes glazed with arousal. Beside them stood a woman, clad only in a light pink veil, her exquisite curves fully revealed. Her snow-white, jade-like hands made various strange gestures.

As Ge Xiaoyao and Ling Lei approached, the woman suddenly noticed, her hands abruptly lowering. The long-haired, naked women who had been tenderly embracing the soldiers each drew a sharp blade from their legs and slashed at the soldiers' throats.

No one cried out; more than a dozen soldiers died instantly. A cold smile suddenly appeared on the veiled woman's alluring face. With a few swift movements, the dozen naked women vanished into clouds of white mist.

"Bold demoness, how dare you raid the military camp at night!" Ge Xiaoyao roared, his figure flashing forward, a surge of dragon immortal power already engulfing the woman.

The woman laughed, her figure dodging like a demonic ghost. "So what if I am? What can a mere Xiqi do to me?"

"You are the Seven-Colored Demoness?" Ling Lei suddenly remembered the purpose of her trip and asked coldly. More than ten immortal swords burst forth from the sky, shimmering in the air like a blanket of snow.

The woman continued to laugh, "Yes, and no!"

Seeing that his Dragon Immortal Power had failed to subdue the woman, Ge Xiaoyao knew she was most likely the Seven-Colored Demoness, and her cultivation was probably extremely high, no less than ten thousand years. He coldly snorted, "Whether you're a demoness or not, you'll have to pay with your life!"

Ling Lei's sword light also alerted the other patrolling soldiers, who rushed towards them, shouting. The woman in the light veil, seeing the increasing number of torches around her, suddenly smiled seductively, "You two have such high cultivation levels. If you wish to test your skills against this fairy, then let's meet again tomorrow in the Enchanting Women's Formation!"

Before Ge Xiaoyao could unleash his Dragon Immortal Power, her figure vanished like a ghost, leaving not even a trace of white mist.

However, Ge Xiaoyao couldn't bother chasing after the woman, because a large number of Xiqi soldiers had already surrounded them, and shouts of battle filled the air.

To avoid collateral damage, Ge Xiaoyao had no choice but to activate his immortal energy shield, enveloping Ling Lei and himself within it, allowing the soldiers to charge with their swords and spears without harming them in the slightest.

Soon after, Bo An, who had already sensed the anomaly, received a report from a soldier and quickly arrived. The soldiers automatically parted to make way, with hundreds of archers drawing their bows and a dozen burly men shielding him from the front and back.

"Is the newcomer General Bo An?" Ge Xiaoyao called out from within the immortal energy shield. "

Indeed, it is Bo An. May I ask what you two friends may do for me?" Bo An replied.

Ge Xiaoyao smiled, observing Bo An's eight-foot height, bronze complexion, thick hair and beard, and piercing eyes. His calm and composed demeanor truly revealed the bearing of a great general; no wonder Jiang Ziya had appointed him as the commander of this army. He laughed and said, "I have come to assist Prime Minister Jiang Ziya in this battle, and this letter serves as proof!" With that, he summoned his spatial pouch and retrieved a letter handwritten by Jiang Ziya.

Ge Xiaoyao removed his immortal energy shield and used his dragon immortal energy to send the letter to Bo An. A guard was about to take it first when Bo An laughed, "These two are both highly skilled individuals. If they intended to harm me, why would they need to tamper with this letter?" He took the letter himself.

Ge Xiaoyao praised, "General Bo'an is truly a hero among men! Prime Minister Jiang Ziya was right to judge him!"

Bo'an smiled slightly, unfolded the letter, and carefully read it by the light of the torches lit by the soldiers around him. Suddenly, his face lit up with joy, and he immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "So you two are Prime Minister Jiang's friends, here to assist in the battle. We apologize for any offense!" He then turned to the soldiers and sternly said, "Get out of here!"

The soldiers dispersed, and Bo'an looked at the dozen or so corpses on the ground and frowned.

Ge Xiaoyao said, "General Bo'an, when we arrived, we encountered a demoness causing trouble. We intended to capture her, but she escaped!"

Bo'an nodded, sighed, and then said, "The demoness at Yangcheng Pass is formidable; our army suffered several defeats... It is thanks to the timely arrival of these two experts that the demoness was prevented from causing a great disaster!" After speaking, he arranged for his guards to give the soldier a proper burial and led Ge Xiaoyao and Ling Lei to the central command tent.

Upon entering the central command tent, Ge Xiaoyao asked, "I wonder what kind of demon the Seven-Colored Demoness is, and what the Enchanting Woman Formation looks like?"

Bo'an sighed and said, "I have seen the Seven-Colored Demoness before. She is incredibly beautiful, with an exceptionally bewitching gaze. However, I do not know how powerful her demonic arts are. As for the Enchanting Woman Formation, its exterior is shrouded in the demonic mist of the Seven-Colored Demoness, making it impossible to see clearly. Moreover, none of the soldiers who went to break the formation escaped, so we know nothing about the situation inside."

Ge Xiaoyao nodded, pondering that in such a battle between demons and humans, the disparity in strength was truly vast. Judging from the veiled woman who remained noncommittal towards the Seven-Colored Demoness at night, the Seven-Colored Demoness must also possess considerable cultivation. He said, "Very well, tomorrow you just lead your troops into battle formation, and Ling Lei and I will go and break the enemy's demon formation ourselves!"

Bo An said, "I am truly grateful for the help of the two experts. These past few days, our army has been keeping its camp closed and not fighting, and we have been humiliated by the Yangcheng Pass garrison . It is truly unbearable to swallow this humiliation. If the two experts can break this formation, it will save the lives of these 100,000 Xiqi generals!"

Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly and said, "General Bo An, there is no need to be so polite. I am indeed Prime Minister Jiang's sworn brother, so it is only right and proper for me to help break the formation and fight." However, I see that Yangcheng Pass has high walls and thick defenses, and a large garrison. It will take a lot of effort to take it down. In my opinion, after we break through this seductive witch formation, the main army should immediately attack the city. General, you should make further preparations!"

Bo'an nodded and said, "Brother Ge is right! We have long been prepared for the siege, and we are just waiting to break through this seductive witch formation!"

Ge Xiaoyao was about to speak when Ling Lei said, "General Bo'an, Brother Ge, the seductive witch formation is all made up of women, so it's not surprising ..." "It seems to be using seductive arts to bewitch people. I think we shouldn't rush to break the formation and attack the city tomorrow. I'll go in and investigate first, and then we can discuss breaking the formation and attacking the city. What do you think?"

Bo An thought for a moment and said, "Miss Ling Lei is right. We should investigate thoroughly before taking action. This seductive formation is extremely powerful. I once charged into it with three thousand troops, but still failed. It would be better if you two didn't take the risk! However, it seems inappropriate for Miss Ling Lei to go in alone!"

Ling Lei said, "I am a woman. Those seductive arts are useless against me. I have studied in Cangmang Immortal for many years. I can protect myself without any problem!"

Ge Xiaoyao thought for a moment and said, "That's fine too. When you enter the formation, don't take any risks. Just find out the situation in the seductive formation. If there is any danger, retreat quickly and call me with your voice so that I can come in to help you!"

The three of them agreed, and as dawn broke, Bo An let Ge Xiaoyao and Ling Lei rest in the central command tent for the time being, while he went out to arrange the attack on the city.

Chapter 211 The Enchanting Demoness Formation (Part 1)

Below Yangcheng Pass.

A ray of morning sun dyed the clouds red, and the world's yang energy gradually filled the air, sweeping away the gloom of the night.

Ge Xiaoyao and Ling Lei stood in the central command tent, where they could see the majestic walls of Yangcheng Pass in the distance. Previously, they hadn't been able to see it clearly at night, only sensing that Yangcheng Pass was very tall. Now, they clearly perceived that Yangcheng Pass was not only tall, but also faced a plain and was backed by green mountains, making it extremely strategically important.

The rising sun had just climbed over the city walls, its blinding red light shining westward, making it difficult to see anything on the walls. According to Bo An, the commander of the Xiqi army, this was the origin of the name Yangcheng Pass. If it weren't afternoon, the blinding sunlight would make it difficult for attacking enemies to scale the walls. But

in the afternoon, darkness would quickly fall, plunging the walls into darkness. The defenders would then pour black wax and paraffin onto the base of the walls and set it ablaze. The flames would soar into the sky, allowing the defenders on the walls to see clearly below, while the enemy below could not see what was happening on the walls, leaving the siege a passive and disadvantageous situation. This was one of the reasons why the Xiqi army had been unable to conquer Yangcheng Pass despite their prolonged siege.

"That's interesting! I've never heard of a fortress built based on the principle of sunlight reflection before!" Ge Xiaoyao laughed. "But if the enemy uses thousands of bronze mirrors to reflect the sunlight back, dazzling the defenders, wouldn't that make things much easier?"

Bo'an was overjoyed and, after a moment of contemplation, suddenly clapped his hands and shouted, "Brilliant! Brilliant!" He immediately ordered his soldiers to prepare plenty of bronze mirrors, jade mirrors, and water mirrors—anything that could reflect light would do!

Ge Xiaoyao hadn't expected that his casual remark would actually become such a brilliant strategy for attacking the city. He was also very excited and said to Bo'an, "General Bo'an, there's no rush in attacking the city. Let the soldiers prepare slowly. Let's go break through that beautiful woman's formation!"

Bo'an nodded hurriedly and said, "Good! Good! I've already ordered five thousand soldiers to accompany us. Let's beat the drums and set off now!"

Three drumbeats sounded, and five thousand fully armored spearmen marched out in formation. Ge Xiaoyao, Ling Lei, and Bo'an each rode fast horses, leading their troops towards Yangcheng Pass.

You know, besides the setting sun casting its shadow westward, Yangcheng Pass has many other perilous features, namely the narrow passage in front of the pass.

This narrow passage is not man-made, but a natural valley, with sheer cliffs on both sides, less than a hundred feet wide in the middle. Therefore, no matter how large the siege army, the number of troops used in each attack would never exceed five thousand.

"Look, that's the alluring array of beauties set up by the Seven-Colored Enchantress of Yangcheng Pass!" The army stopped five hundred feet in front of Yangcheng Pass, and Bo'an pointed to the black mist spreading in front of the city gate.

At this time, the defenders on the city wall were barely visible, only an arrow's width away. Ge Xiaoyao saw that the black mist only spread below half of the city, but did not dissipate with the wind. He sighed inwardly, thinking that since the Seven-Colored Enchantress could set up this black mist, she must have extremely high demonic power.

"Hmph, what difficulty is there in breaking this black mist, General Bo'an? Have you tried using water rockets to launch them?" Ge Xiaoyao said.

Bo An nodded, then shook his head. "I've tried, but to no avail. This black mist seems impervious to water and fire..."

"That's strange then. How about I try flying through the air?" Ge Xiaoyao suggested.

Bo An shook his head again and laughed. "I ordered my soldiers to set up siege ladders, hoping to bypass the formation and charge straight at the city gate, but the black mist is also very strange. It rises when you're high and falls when you're low. No matter what, I can't leap over the black mist to attack the city gate!"

Seeing that the black mist was so thick that he couldn't see what was inside, Ge Xiaoyao said, "So that means there's only one way: breaking the formation?"

Bo An nodded and smiled bitterly.

The Shang army guarding the city had already discovered the Xiqi army's attack and reported it to the general guarding the pass. At this moment, on the gate tower, a burly man in golden armor and a bewitching woman draped in a seven-colored veil stood side by side, watching the five thousand soldiers brought by Bo An.

"Bo'an! You've failed to break through the Seven-Colored Fairy's invincible formation time and again, yet you still retreat! What reinforcements have you summoned this time?!" The golden-armored giant had clearly seen Ge Xiaoyao and Ling Lei and shouted loudly.

Because Ge Xiaoyao and Ling Lei were dressed casually and not wearing armor, they were very conspicuous standing on horseback in the army.

Bo'an sneered and shouted loudly, "Wan Mucheng, you can summon a demon to help you guard the pass, so why can't I summon an immortal to help me break through it?"

Ge Xiaoyao had already heard Bo'an's introduction and knew that this was Wan Mucheng, the general guarding Yangcheng Pass. Although he was nine feet tall and had a fierce appearance, he was actually a silver-plated spearhead, extremely cowardly and afraid of trouble. If he hadn't somehow summoned this Seven-Colored Fairy, Yangcheng Pass might have already fallen into the hands of the Xiqi army.

At this moment, an extremely enchanting voice was heard. Although the voice was not loud and seemed to be faint, it was very clear. It was the voice of the woman dressed in a seven-colored veil. "I thought it was someone trying to break the formation, but it turns out to be the man and woman who ruined my good time last night. This immortal brother is handsome and I adore him, and the woman is beautiful and just my type. Why don't you two stay out of this mess and come with me to the paradise of immortals?"

Ge Xiaoyao found these words grating, but he didn't get angry or annoyed. He laughed and said, "Seven-Colored Demoness, I failed to capture you last night, so today I will break your demon formation and see just how capable you are!"

The Seven-Colored Demoness laughed even more seductively and said, "Immortal brother, if you were the one breaking the formation, I really couldn't bring myself to kill you... How about this, do as I say, you should stop following the Xiqi rebels and come with me to my Seven-Colored Immortal Palace. I will definitely let you taste the most blissful and intoxicating pleasure!" As she spoke, she let out another seductive voice.

Ling Lei snorted coldly, "Witch, stop spreading your lies here! Quickly activate your formation and let me show you my power!"

The Seven-Colored Demoness laughed, "This young lady has quite the temper. Be careful not to let your temper harm your health and affect your beautiful appearance..." She paused for a moment, then said, "Very well, I will activate the formation. I wonder which of you will enter first, or both of you?"

Ling Lei shouted, "I don't need Brother Ge to accompany me. I alone can break your demonic formation!"

The Seven-Colored Demoness giggled and said, "Young lady, you look delicate and frail, but I didn't expect you to be so strong... However, everyone in my formation must state their name. May I ask what your name is, and where you reside?"

Ling Lei coldly replied, "Cangmang Fairy, Ling Lei!" To commemorate Ling Lei who sacrificed herself for her, she changed Yan Qiang to Ling Lei, and simply didn't mention the matter of the Wei River Dragon Princess. Instead, following Ling Lei's habit, she only referred to her sect.

The Seven-Colored Demoness's face showed a slight awkwardness, but she quickly recovered and said, "So you are Fellow Immortal of Cangmang. Is this Immortal Brother also from Cangmang?"

Ge Xiaoyao laughed heartily and introduced himself, "I am not from Cangmang. A true man roams the four seas, and everywhere is his brother. Where is not home? I am the Unregistered Healer Immortal Ge Xiaoyao!"

Ge Xiaoyao had actually accidentally fallen from the modern world into this ancient Shang Dynasty. Where was his place of origin? Moreover, he didn't seem to have a suitable title for himself. After thinking for a moment, he decided that he was originally a physician who later sought the path of immortality, so he might as well call himself the Unregistered Healer Immortal!

At this moment, the garrison commander Wan Mucheng suddenly chuckled lewdly to the Seven-Colored Demoness and said, "That little Linglei is quite to my liking. I hope you won't harm her!"

His voice wasn't loud enough for the Xiqi soldiers to hear, but Ge Xiaoyao and Linglei heard it clearly. Seeing Wan Mucheng's disrespect towards Linglei, Ge Xiaoyao's face darkened. He was about to scold her when the Seven-Colored Demoness coldly snorted, "You call yourself a garrison commander? How can you say such things?!"

Seeing the Seven-Colored Demoness's displeasure, Wan Mucheng immediately smiled obsequiously, "You're right, Fairy... It's just that the wind is strong in the mountains, and I lost my mind for a moment, so I said such nonsense. Please forgive me, Fairy!" His eyes, however, were fixed on Linglei with lust.

The Seven-Colored Demoness ignored Wan Mucheng and said to Ge Xiaoyao and Linglei, "Since Miss Linglei is breaking through the formation alone, then I won't be polite!" With a charming smile, she walked down the battle tower alone.

Ge Xiaoyao saw Wan Mucheng still lecherously eyeing Ling Lei from the tower, and secretly memorized his appearance, thinking angrily, "You lecherous pig, just wait and see how I, Ge Xiaoyao, deal with you!"

At that moment, a sliver of silver light suddenly appeared in the black mist, slowly expanding until the black mist gradually transformed into seven colors. From within the seven-colored mist came the alluring voice of the Seven-Colored Enchantress: "Ling Lei, the Fairy of the Vast Expanse, please enter the formation!"

Ge Xiaoyao glanced at Ling Lei, who was also looking at him. Their eyes met, and they nodded to each other.

Ling Lei said, "General Bo'an, Brother Ge, Ling Lei is going to break the formation!"

General Bo'an of Xiqi said, "Take care, Miss Linglei!"

Ge Xiaoyao also whispered, "Remember, once you've entered the formation and assessed the situation, retreat immediately. Don't be reckless!"

Linglei nodded, and without urging her horse forward, her beautiful body floated lightly into the air, heading straight for the seven-colored mist.

Ge Xiaoyao had originally thought that this Enchanting Woman Formation was just a small illusion created by demonic magic, which was why he agreed to let Linglei go alone to break it. However, seeing the black mist suddenly transform into seven-colored mist, and the voice of the seven-colored demoness seemingly both inside and outside the formation, he dared not underestimate the Enchanting Woman Formation. He then used telepathy to say to General Bo'an, "General Bo'an, I wish to use magic to follow Linglei into the formation. You must protect my body and keep me still, and do not disturb me!"

Bo'an suddenly heard Ge Xiaoyao's voice beside him, turned his head to look at Ge Xiaoyao, and saw Ge Xiaoyao nodding and smiling at him. He immediately understood Ge Xiaoyao's meaning and nodded, indicating that he would definitely do as he was told.

Ge Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief. A wisp of his spiritual consciousness, lifted by the Dragon Immortal's power, followed Ling Lei into the seven-colored mist.

Ling Lei, upon entering the Enchanting Woman Formation, was initially bewildered. Thick fog enveloped her, making it impossible to discern directions. She simply plummeted downwards until she touched the ground, where the fog remained thick and rocks lay scattered beneath her feet. She was secretly alarmed, wondering what the Enchanting Woman Formation was all about. Cautiously, she relied on her memory to locate Yangcheng Pass and continued forward.

Ge Xiaoyao, supported by the Dragon Immortal's power, followed Ling Lei into the formation. He was astonished to see her wandering aimlessly like a blind man feeling an elephant. "Damn! What kind of Enchanting Woman Formation is this? Where are the women? Is it just a deceptive formation, creating a fog and then ambushing us?"

At this moment, Ling Lei had already summoned her immortal sword. Dozens of cold lights, under her command, charged left and right, darting through the fog.

Seeing Ling Lei's cautious demeanor, Ge Xiaoyao chuckled inwardly, "This trick is quite good. Whether you're a fierce ghost, an ambush soldier, or a seductive woman, you'll all die..." Just

as Ge Xiaoyao was chuckling, he suddenly cried out in his mind, "Ling Lei, watch out!"

Ling Lei, preoccupied with using her immortal sword to probe her surroundings, hadn't noticed a stray rock under her foot, causing her to stumble and nearly fall.

Seeing that Ling Lei didn't react to his shout, Ge Xiaoyao realized that he had entered the formation using his spiritual sense, so naturally he couldn't make a sound, and Ling Lei couldn't hear him either.

However, when Ling Lei turned around, Ge Xiaoyao was startled, thinking, "Oh no!" Ling Lei was no longer Ling Lei; she was now a beautiful, unfamiliar woman!

Chapter 212 The Seductive Woman's Formation (Part 2)

The woman's clothing was exactly the same as Ling Lei's, but her appearance was vastly different. Her beautiful face had a pair of alluring eyes, and her delicate brows were furrowed with shock.

"Damn it! How could this be?!" Ge Xiaoyao never expected that his wisp of spiritual consciousness, which had been closely following Ling Lei, would lose her once they entered this array of beauties. He knew something was wrong, and his Dragon Immortal Power automatically withdrew, rushing out of the seven-colored mist and returning to the front of the array.

"Brother Ge, how is it?" Bo An saw Ge Xiaoyao's body suddenly tremble, clearly indicating he had withdrawn his magic, and quickly asked.

Ge Xiaoyao felt heavy-hearted, his face gloomy, and slowly shook his head, saying, "Ling Lei is gone!"

Bo An was also greatly surprised and hurriedly asked, "What should we do?"

Ge Xiaoyao took a few deep breaths, calmed himself, and thought for a moment, saying, "Ling Lei is currently in the array; we don't know what strange things she might encounter. However, with her abilities, it shouldn't be too difficult for her to escape. Let's wait and see!"

Bo An nodded, "I hope Miss Ling Lei can turn misfortune into good fortune and escape the array safely!"

The two looked into the array, only to see the seven-colored mist constantly shifting and changing, incredibly strange, making it impossible to see anything clearly inside.

Ling Lei was unaware that a wisp of Ge Xiaoyao's spirit had followed her into the formation. Using her aerial magic, she broke through the seven-colored mist, clearing a path with her immortal swords, and successfully reached the formation.

At this moment, the seven-colored mist gradually dissipated, and the scene before her was neither the passageway before the pass she had imagined, nor the gate of Yangcheng Pass, but rather a landscape of red flowers and trees, flowing water, pavilions and towers—like entering a dream.

"Could this be what the formation is really like?" Ling Lei thought to herself, then shook her head sharply, warning herself, "This is an illusion within the formation, don't believe it!" She then sneered, "How can mere illusions harm this fairy?!"

Ling Lei gritted her teeth, and more than ten immortal swords instantly transformed into countless sword beams, shooting directly towards the jade trees, flowers, pavilions, and towers.

Just as the sword beams struck those objects, Ling Lei's vision blurred, and the beautiful scenery vanished, replaced by complete darkness.

A chilling wind howled, and the cold seeped into the bone. In the darkness, jagged, grotesque trees loomed, each perched with a night owl whose eyes gleamed with green fire, emitting eerie shrieks.

Although Ling Lei was a cultivator, she was still a woman, and the sight sent a chill down her spine. "What kind of hellish place is this! Humph..."

She initially thought it was an illusion within the formation, gathering her sword in her hand before unleashing it again, the air filled with the same cold, piercing light.

However, this time the scene remained unchanged. To Ling Lei's surprise, the sword's attack startled the countless night owls perched on the ghastly trees, who shuddered and swooped down on her with fierce cries.

Their green eyes, like will-o'-the-wisps in the darkness, sent shivers down her spine.

"Hurry!" Although Ling Lei knew they were all illusions, she couldn't help but chant the incantation. The countless sword beams she had just shot out returned, instantly piercing the night owls. A chorus of mournful shrieks filled the air as the night owls fell to the ground, turning into pools of pus and blood. The stench of blood made Ling Lei want to vomit.

As countless night owls fell and turned into blood, the scene before Ling Lei's eyes changed again. The gloomy darkness remained, but a hellish scene appeared.

One by one, long-tongued, eyeless, limbless, and headless corpses wailed and crawled towards Ling Lei on the ground covered with gleaming blades. The stench of blood and decay filled the air. The bodies of the corpses were slashed open by sharp blades, and their dark internal organs spilled out, some hanging from the tips of the blades.

"This is an illusion... Don't be afraid, this is an illusion... Don't be afraid... You are Ling Lei, you are Yan Qiang..." Ling Lei's face changed color, and she murmured to herself, but the fear continued to spread in her heart.

"Ah..." A sharp, eerie howl rang out, and the viscera and blood that had spilled all over the ground suddenly came to life, slowly coalescing into ferocious night howls that flew into the air and pecked at the severed limbs and remains that were still struggling to crawl forward, instantly sending flesh and blood flying.

A hand suddenly flew up and came down towards Ling Lei. Ling Lei raised her sword and chopped off the five fingers of the hand, but the five fingers did not slow down and instantly pounced on Ling Lei's chest.

"Ah..." Ling Lei felt a thud in her chest, and the five fingers were already hanging bloodily on her front. She could no longer bear it and suddenly jumped up from the ground, wanting to rush into the sky.

However, as her body rose into the air, she suddenly realized that the horrific scene before her had vanished without a trace. The darkness gradually brightened, and she could clearly see that the strange tree had disappeared, leaving only a perfectly flat expanse of soft sand.

Ling Lei breathed a sigh of relief, her body landing back on the ground. The terrifying scene from before still lingered in her mind; she didn't even dare to look at her chest, wondering if the five bloodied, severed fingers were still hanging there.

Looking around, she saw only a vast expanse of sand, nothing at all. Ling Lei seemed to have forgotten that she was in the midst of an array, completely captivated by the yellowish-white sand. She didn't know what she was longing to see, but she continued to search diligently.

A faint, melodious voice drifted in, its source unknown, causing Ling Lei's tense nerves to suddenly relax. Only then did she dare to look down at her chest, but she couldn't help but scream, abruptly closing her eyes, feeling her face burning hot...

She had wanted to check if the disgusting severed finger hanging on her chest was still there, but instead, she saw two snow-white, erect breasts, a flat, smooth abdomen, and two long, shapely legs...

"Ugh..." Ling Lei quickly squatted down, covering her chest with her hands. She didn't know when she had stripped naked, standing naked on the soft sand.

The fear and disgust from before, combined with the shame now, made her completely forget that she was in an array, utterly incapable of resistance... She even forgot to report to Ge Xiaoyao using telepathy.

A lewd and eccentric laugh echoed from mid-air, but Ling Lei lacked the courage to stand up…

“Hahaha…” From within the colorful mist of the Enchanting Women’s Formation came the arrogant and seductive laughter of the Seven-Colored Demoness, causing both Ge Xiaoyao and Bo An to tense up.

Sure enough, the Seven-Colored Demoness suddenly said, “Brother Ge, Miss Ling Lei is already trapped in the formation and cannot extricate herself. Capturing her would be as easy as taking candy from a bag for me. However, considering the long-standing ties between my Seven-Colored Demoness and Cangmang Mountain, I do not wish to create enmity over this. If you truly possess magical power, you can enter the formation and rescue her…”

Hearing the Seven-Colored Demoness say this, Ge Xiaoyao was greatly alarmed and immediately said, “What a vixen! This formation is indeed strange. I, Ge Xiaoyao, will enter the formation to rescue Ling Lei right now. Don’t try any tricks. If you dare to harm even a hair on her head, I, Ge Xiaoyao, will never let you go!” With that, he spurred his horse to charge into the formation.

"Brother Ge! Wait!" Bo An said urgently, "Brother Ge, don't be reckless! That demoness wants to trap both of you in the formation!"

Ge Xiaoyao turned around and laughed, "We can't worry about that now. But this mere demon formation won't easily trap me, Ge Xiaoyao!"

At this moment, the Seven-Colored Demoness said again, "Brother Ge, Ling Lei's safety is not in my hands, but in yours. I can only guarantee her safety for two hours, and after that, I can't do anything!"

"Hmph! Demoness... I, Ge Xiaoyao, will smash your broken formation to dust! Ling Lei... wait for me!" Ge Xiaoyao shouted to the Seven-Colored Demoness. At this moment, he no longer urged his horse on. Following his will, the Dragon Immortal Power had already supported his body, and he was heading straight into the seven-colored mist of the beautiful woman's formation.

"Brother Ge!" Bo An shouted loudly.

Ge Xiaoyao turned back and said, "General Bo'an, if I, Ge Xiaoyao, don't return in two hours, immediately send a messenger to inform Brother Ziya!"

Seeing that Ge Xiaoyao's mind was made up to enter the formation, Bo'an couldn't dissuade him and could only sigh, "Alright! I'll send a messenger to urge the Prime Minister back immediately!"

At this moment, Ge Xiaoyao's figure had already plunged into the seven-colored mist like a large bird, disappearing without a trace.

Last time Ge Xiaoyao entered the formation, he only used a wisp of his spiritual sense, closely following Ling Lei but losing her. He knew this formation was strange, probably containing some kind of hallucinogenic magic. Upon entering the seven-colored mist, he instinctively closed his eyes, using only his Dragon Immortal Power to explore and advance.

At the same time, to prevent any accidents, Ge Xiaoyao also released the Water Demon Beast, letting it carry a portion of Dragon Immortal Power to protect him on both sides, preventing any unexpected attacks.

Ge Xiaoyao proceeded unimpeded, silently counting in his mind. He estimated three to five minutes had passed, calculating that at his speed, he had already entered the core of the formation. Immediately, his Dragon Immortal Power spread out, probing the surroundings, and his Immortal Power shield was fully activated to guard against unforeseen circumstances. The Water Demon Beast ran around, occasionally letting out a calm, low growl.

Ge Xiaoyao intended to use his Dragon Immortal Power to probe the surroundings, destroying anything suspicious he found. He also had some knowledge of formations and knew that no matter how strange the formation, it had two gates: life and death, each entrusted to an object. If the object was destroyed, the formation would immediately break.

However, to his surprise, this time, his Dragon Immortal Power didn't detect a single stone; everything was empty, seemingly devoid of anything.

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly heard an excited low growl from the Water Demon Beast, along with the faint sound of spiritual tears weeping.

"Ling Lei...where are you! Brother Ge is here to save you!" Ge Xiaoyao shouted hurriedly, but Ling Lei's voice seemed to have vanished.

"Damn it! Fine, whatever, I have to try and see what's what! Blindly stumbling around like this, who knows when I'll break the formation and rescue Ling Lei!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, closing his eyes and summoning his Void Bag. He took a Heart-Clearing Pill and opened his eyes.

The scene before him astonished Ge Xiaoyao. "This illusion is truly powerful..." What appeared before Ge Xiaoyao's eyes was nothing but an endless expanse of flat bricks.

The Heart-Clearing Pill gradually took effect, and faint double images began to appear before his eyes. Behind the flat bricks, several weeds and pebbles vaguely appeared, resembling the narrow passage in front of the original city gate. Ge

Xiaoyao endured the disorientation of the double images, searching for Ling Lei, but found no one there. "That Seven-Colored Demoness might be deceiving me. Perhaps Ling Lei has already been captured by them, but she used the pretext of asking me to save her to pounce into the formation, and then seize the opportunity to capture me as well!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself.

Just before he was slightly distracted, the scene before him suddenly changed, and the paved blue brick ground gradually concealed the weeds and pebbles.

"Damn! So that's how it is, this is a demonic formation that uses illusions to deceive people!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, and sneered, "But this can't stump me, Ge Xiaoyao. I can just take a few more Qingxin Pills!"

Qingxin Pills were spiritual medicines that Ge Xiaoyao specially used to deal with bewitching, hallucinogenic drugs, and spells. They were made by him in the Dragon Palace using the most spiritual herbs he collected there. He had about a hundred of them, which was enough for him.

The Void Bag flew out automatically according to Ge Xiaoyao's will, and Ge Xiaoyao took out a few Qingxin Pills and swallowed them all at once.

But his expression changed drastically in an instant. "Damn it! Could it be that what I just took wasn't the Heart-Clearing Pill?"

It turned out the medicine melted instantly upon entering his mouth, reaching his internal organs, causing a burning sensation throughout his body. "Oh no... how could I forget about this damned illusion!"

Ge Xiaoyao had unknowingly taken the medicine within the illusion, realizing it wasn't the Heart-Clearing Pill, but rather the One Joy True Pill he had refined using the Ao Mei Grass he obtained from the Black Abyss at the confluence of the Jing and Wei Rivers—an extremely potent aphrodisiac. Thinking this, he quickly used his Dragon Immortal Power to suppress the burning sensation in his lower abdomen, cautiously closed his eyes, cleared his mind of distractions, and was about to summon his Void Bag to retrieve the antidote.

However, at this moment, bursts of erotic music suddenly filled his surroundings, interspersed with the seductive laughter of women that made one's blood boil.
