Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 868 - 369: The Ruthless King Qin and "It’s You, Sa..." (Part 2)
Dongfang Xingshu chuckled: "So you've betrayed just like that?"
"You and I are both citizens of the Immortal Gods." Song Zhong's voice was calm: "So is the Emperor."
"Moreover, Lord Qin cannot discern right from wrong, willing to use any means to climb higher, and the Jinyi Guard has become a slaughter knife at her command. Such a person is unfit to rule."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Dongfang Xingshu snorted coldly, "When do you plan to take action?"
"No rush." Song Zhong, removing his cloak to reveal his Flying Fish Suit, slightly tightened his grip on the spear in his hand: "Lord Qin has already begun to falter."
"Hmm?"
Dongfang Xingshu glanced at Dongfang Xinglan, who was no longer at ease, and listened as Song Zhong continued: "The Southwest Nineteen States, so hard fought for, are now at risk of being lost due to this upheaval. She's panicking, and panic betrays weaknesses."
Clang—
In the moment Song Zhong finished speaking, an iron chain, like a soul-reaping scythe, wrapped around Dongfang Xinglan's lower leg. Though not causing harm thanks to her War Boots, it made her stagger.
In that instant of vulnerability, another chain, faster than lightning, wrapped around her sword-wielding forearm.
The clash of iron chain and wrist guard sparked amid the illusionary rain, and in the next second, a Female Martial Saint pressed two curved blades to either side of Dongfang Xinglan's neck.
The sound of warhorses' hooves thundered. Song Zhong pulled at the reins, the horse's hooves lifted, and the spear's tip pointed at Dongfang Xinglan's brow.
"Lord Qin, you have lost!"
Dongfang Xinglan glared darkly at the warhorse before her, while nearby, the weakened Dongfang Xingbai burst into laughter. Dongfang Xingshu hurried over: "Divine Envoy, let me take you..."
"Hiss... don't move, don't move!" Dongfang Xingbai quickly shouted, "Move now, and I won't be able to maintain the 'Summoning God' technique. Just let me watch from here."
Summoning God?
At that moment, Dongfang Xinglan, whose senses had returned, realized why she still had a single head and, even with a hole pierced through it, had not died. If it was the Invoking God Technique, indeed, it would be possible.
After all, the Invoking God Technique could even be applied to the deceased.
"Quickly, go and take the Dragon Qi hidden in her bloodline!" urged Dongfang Xingbai.
Dongfang Xingshu stepped lightly to Dongfang Xinglan's front, reaching out to grip Dongfang Xinglan's jaw: "My dear older sister, never thought you would die here today, did you?"
Dongfang Xinglan 'pretended' to bite her tongue, but Dongfang Xingshu sneered: "Go ahead, bite away. If you die, your Dragon Qi will linger at your place of death for seven days, then randomly return to the Royal Family members...
Oh, not seeking death anymore?"
Dongfang Xinglan snorted coldly and then looked at Dongfang Xingbai: "The Divine Envoy won't let me die now."
Before Dongfang Xingshu could speak, she continued: "If, as you say, bearing the True Dragon Destiny isn't easy, I think that's why Father Emperor had problems, and the Crown Prince in the Capital probably isn't the perfect bearer either. Otherwise, why would they come all this way to find me?"
Dongfang Xingshu's mouth twitched as she involuntarily turned to look at Dongfang Xingbai, cautiously asking: "Divine Envoy, shall we still, still kill?"
Dongfang Xingbai snorted coldly: "You already know the method of Dragon Stealing; it's merely a matter of sooner or later for her to die. If she dares defy me, how could she have a way out?"
"Then, do you want her to die sooner or later?" Dongfang Xingshu carefully asked again.
This question... truly left Dongfang Xingbai a bit stumped.
Currently, the Dragon Qi that Dongfang Xinglan bore was second only to Emperor Jia Ning, because the Eastern Dynasty was, after all, a nation, and while only Royal Family Members could bear Dragon Qi, the people's support could determine how much Dragon Qi a royal descendant bore.
In the Eastern Dynasty, Royal Family Members were born and died daily, and the Dragon Qi of the deceased often favored Dongfang Xinglan.
Especially since Dongfang Xinglan was indeed the most perfect vessel since the dynasty's founding.
If Dongfang Xinglan could be controlled, it would be best, but... the Eastern Dynasty, in the end, was the domain of Xuanri Mountain, and now was not the time to break ties with those from Xuanri Mountain.
And an uncooperative Lord Qin was unnecessary to keep.
"Even dying later won't be more than a month; it makes no difference. Do it."
Dongfang Xingbai said calmly. The Wandao Sect and other sects were pressing hard, and cooperating with the Ancient Court of the Demon Clan had opened a Path of Descent, so there must be no slip in this matter.
Anyway... in the end, only the one sitting in that Supreme position will survive, and the rest must perish!
"As you command!"
Dongfang Xingshu let out a long breath and then looked again at Dongfang Xinglan: "Sister, may your journey be peaceful."
As the words fell, she raised her right hand and sliced her palm with a dagger, and as the blood gushed, Dongfang Xinglan felt her heart beating like a drum.
Dongfang Xinglan smirked coldly: "That's it?"
"Sister, don't be in such a hurry to die," Dongfang Xingshu chuckled lightly: "I'll give you a broader view."
Drip, drip...
Blood dripped from Dongfang Xingshu's fingers onto the ground, and as the Vigorous Force illuminated around her and her one-handed seal changed, the blood deeply merged into the earth.
At that moment, the ground seemed to tremble faintly, and Dongfang Xinglan felt a dragon's roar echo in her mind.
"I, Dongfang Xingshu, the 727th daughter of Emperor Jianing, hereby bear the Dragon Vein Destiny of 4449 years of the Eastern Dynasty!"
With those words, she reached out and removed Dongfang Xinglan's face mask, their eyes locking onto each other.
Dongfang Xinglan instinctively began to speak: "I, the 727th daughter of Emperor Jianing..."
