The Empress's No.1 Lackey-Chapter 1248 - 665: Battle of the Heavenly Human, Death to the Demoness!
Zhao Douan had many speculations about this mysterious sea before diving into the East Sea.
But when he saw the thousand-year-old shipwreck and the ancient battlefield before him, he was still shocked by the guesses in his heart.
How many bizarre "experiments" did Qi Country conduct back then? Creating gods in La Garden, slaughtering dragons in the East Sea... For a moment, Zhao Douan was deeply apprehensive about that dynasty that had long vanished into history.
"Do you still remember... can you recall anything else about these people?" Zhao Douan looked at Tuoba Weizhi.
Unfortunately, the black-skinned Priestess thought hard for a while, shook her head, and said guiltily, "I can’t think of anything."
Zhao Douan gazed at her for a long time, without pressing further, only saying, "Let’s keep going."
Whatever happened back then is in the past; what he truly cares about is: Since the shipwreck has already appeared before him, then the bones of the world’s last dragon shouldn’t be far away.
On the silent island, Zhao Douan walked with a heavy heart, passing through the ancient battlefield.
Perhaps due to the special environment here, despite the thousand years that have passed, many objects on the shipwrecks remained relatively intact.
He even glimpsed into some of the broken-open chests on the ships, piled with pearls, even gold and silver.
Who knows why the ships back then had these items; perhaps... they were scavenged from here?
Quickly, Zhao Douan passed through the mass of shipwrecks and stepped onto a slope, where his view suddenly widened!
There, at the edge of the sparsely planted trees ahead, he vaguely saw a massive white bone, like a small mountain.
Is that the Dragon Remains?
Dragon Remains lying dead on a hill? But it’s obscured by the trees, and not fully visible.
At this moment, Zhao Douan sensed the Dragon Essence in his Qi Sea becoming more agitated.
Yet, almost simultaneously, the originally calm sea around the island suddenly erupted with violent winds!
A vast and formless mighty force suddenly descended!
That is the power of the Sea God!
Zhao Douan felt as if his shoulders were being crushed by a small mountain, the circulation of Qi Mechanism within him further suppressed, moving as if crawling.
Next to him, Tuoba Weizhi let out a muffled groan, her body making a creaking sound, nearly unable to bear the burden.
This was suppression from the Sea God, further intensified! Had the Sea God noticed them? Or did Zhang do something on the lake’s surface?
Zhao Douan’s heart tightened, realizing that the strength of the three had been further suppressed, and he even felt an implicit sense of falling out of the "World" realm!
"Can you still hold on?" he asked gravely.
Tuoba Weizhi looked rough, took a deep breath, and nodded.
"Jin Jian? How about you?" Zhao Douan asked again, without getting a response. He turned his head back, surprised to find that the young priestess who had been following behind them had disappeared without a trace.
"Master, look ahead!" At this moment, Tuoba Weizhi suddenly exclaimed, raising her hand to point forward.
Zhao Douan looked over and saw, through the shadows of the trees, about twenty figures emerging!
They appeared to be women, most dressed in local attire: loose robes, hair disheveled.
And in the center of this group, like stars surrounding the moon, was an enchanting woman draped in thin veils, her sinuous curves and fair skin faintly visible!
The woman’s beauty was stunning, her pupils an emerald hue, with bells worn on her wrists and ankles, tinkling with her every step.
Her hair was styled in an updo with a golden coronet embedded with diamonds on top, and among her black tresses were six or seven heavy gold hairpins, opulent in their splendor.
The hem of the woman’s pale purple gauze-like long skirt was slit at the thigh, exposing her snow-white, slender legs.
At this moment, she walked out with a vigilant, suspicious gaze, meeting Zhao Douan’s eyes, which slightly lit up:
"Such a handsome lad."
...
...
At the same time.
On the surface of the sea beyond the Silent Sea, leaden gray clouds covered the surrounding waters, with pattering rain falling, striking the lifeless sea without causing ripples.
Zhang Yan Yi stood with his hands behind his back at the ship’s bow, suddenly turning around to look back, and said softly, "It’s here."
"What’s coming?" Red Coral Island Master, Ji Yue, Shui Bei, and others looked, their pupils narrowed.
They saw in the distance on the sea, a number of Bone Whales rapidly approaching, with elders standing on their backs.
On the central Bone Whale, an elder with long green hair stood alongside a woman carrying a bamboo basket and a "fisherman" with a net hanging from his waist.
These are the three Grand Elders!
And in front of the three of them was Wu Xiankui, who had a severed arm.
"There are people ahead, it’s a ship from Red Coral Island." The woman carrying the bamboo basket said gravely.
The Tianyuan Island Master next to her remained silent, his eyes full of worry, thinking: Do we really want to provoke that Zhao guy?
Zhao Douan!
After learning that it was the Yu Country’s Imperial Consort who had presumably killed Qingmu, many of the Thousand-Island Elders felt both shocked and angered in their hearts.
Angered at the rampant slaughter, viewing the Thousand Islands as nothing.
The shock, naturally, was due to fear of his formidable reputation.
Then, Wu Xiankui didn’t give the others much time to think, forcing them to head to the Silent Sea.
Wu Xiankui’s intent was clear: to hunt Zhao Douan!
In his view, this was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, further causing this Qingshan Sect Leader to feel secretly delighted.
Once Zhao Douan is captured, he will be enough to trade for the captured Qingshan Disciples.
However, considering the danger of this person, Wu Xiankui is more inclined to use him as leverage against the Empress and not plan to release him.
"What are you still thinking about?" Wu Xiankui coldly scanned the few of them: "You’ve all heard of Zhao Douan’s reputation. Now that he’s come, he’s killed an elder to establish his might. Do you still hope he’ll spare you? This person is known for revenge for the smallest grievance, of a petty nature, and now he’s avenging Ji Yue. You are all his targets. Even if you don’t dare to act, hide far away, I will take action personally!"
