Chapter 1128: The Gathering of Kings
In the blink of an eye, the two great Demon Kings were actually bowing deeply to Shui Qingling!
This made Shui Qingling stunned, weren't these two just about to attack her a moment ago?
Now they actually...
"Two seniors, you..."
Shui Qingling asked, puzzled.
The Demon Peng King Peng Tianzhong said excitedly:
"Our ancestors were all under the protection of Kunpeng... This time, we are not here to seek refuge with the Waterway Imperial Court, but to rescue the forebears who were abducted by the Water Emperor!"
"I didn't expect to meet the young lady here..."
Gui Manman then said:
"Miss Qingling, how... how did you manage to restore the forebears' bloodline?"
According to their anticipation, after the Water Emperor abducted the remaining forebears, he must have greatly oppressed them.
Subsequently, the gradual mastery of the Kunpeng Technique by the Waterway Imperial Court also confirmed their view.
After all, to acquire the Kunpeng Technique, the Water Emperor could only... obtain it from the bones of the forebears.
Thus, the bloodline of the forebears, that of Kunpeng, would keep diminishing, and eventually, they might even become mere mortals!
But now, it seems, Shui Qingling's bloodline... is exceedingly rich, even approaching the same level as the true forebears of the past.
This is quite terrifying.
Shui Qingling said:
"...Some fortuitous encounters."
She did not mention the existence of Kunpeng, after all, the intentions of these two great demons were still unknown.
"Miss Qingling, how come you are here?"
Peng Tianzhong continued, asking.
Shui Qingling sighed, then briefly narrated her experiences, concealing everything related to the small mountain village.
"What! The Water Emperor was so malicious, not only boiling the bones of the forebears, depriving them of their treasured arts, but even fooled the forebears into seeing her as their faith, their benefactor?!"
Peng Tianzhong's anger flared anew, his fists clenched!
"How pitiful, how pitiful!"
Gui Manman also could not help but speak, saying: "If it were not for Miss Qingling's accidental restoration of the Kunpeng bloodline, it's feared that the forebears would have been deceived by her until death."
Continuing, Gui Manman then comforted Shui Qingling, saying:
"Miss Shui, rest assured, our purpose here is to rescue some of the forebears' bloodline!"
"You are not fighting alone!"
Shui Qingling felt the firmness in their words and was touched; on the vast lands of You Continent, there were still some who revered Kunpeng.
"Right, we have already invited many old friends, the Kun Crocodile King, Golden Peng King, Sky Carving King, Jiaolong King, etc., with many hands providing great strength, even if not rivals of the Waterway Imperial Court, we could at least rescue some!"
Peng Tianzhong also spoke up: "They should have already reached Kunlong Lake, I will contact my second brother Golden Peng King now, have them ready!"
Upon hearing this, Shui Qingling also felt greatly inspired.
"Who is this?"
At the same time, they looked at Dugu Yuqing, slightly puzzled.
Shui Qingling said:
"This is Young Master Dugu, he is a Loose Cultivator; my survival is greatly owed to Young Master Dugu's kindness."
Upon hearing this, the two great Demon Kings also showed great respect for Dugu Yuqing.
Immediately afterward, the group embarked on a boat journey.
They had not traveled far when suddenly, amidst the river water, there was a tumult, and hundreds of meters high water spouts burst forth, harboring the strong silhouette of a Jiaolong sprawled within.
"Stop for this prince!"
A white Jiaolong, turning into a beam of light, blocked the way of the people's small boat.
Within that light was a young man, his expression cold, staring at Shui Qingling on the boat, saying:
"Which clan are you from?"
"Now, turn your boat around, get lost, or else, I want your life!"
He was Ao Bing, prince of the Jiaolong clan!
This area was close to Kunlong Lake, thus, he slowed down, waiting, waiting for the talents from all over the seas and lakes.
He had already killed dozens of people and repelled hundreds.
After all, he was set on obtaining the fortune of this Waterway Imperial Court event.
Just now, he spotted the extraordinary nature of Shui Qingling, hence he immediately revealed himself.
On the small boat, Gui Manman furrowed his brow, saying:
"The youngest son of the Jiaolong King? So willful..."
He was about to step forward, but Shui Qingling stopped him, looking at Ao Bing and coldly saying:
"You wish to monopolize the Kunpeng Method of the Waterway Imperial Court?"
Ao Bing coldly sneered:
"Of course... the Kunpeng Method belongs to me!"
"No one has the right to snatch it!"
Saying this, he transformed into the image of a Jiaolong, and with a raise of his hand, within the Path-Scenic Land, a terrifying tidal wave seemed to surge towards the entire small boat!
He was already a Water Repelling Realm powerhouse!
Yet Shui Qingling stepped forward in one stride, turning into a beam of light. She did not display the Path-Scenic Land, but using the Kunpeng Method, soared through his tidal waves. These terrifying Water Repelling level tidal waves were unable to harm her at all!
In an instant, she had already reached Ao Bing's face.
"No... how is this possible..."
Ao Bing's face drastically changed, yet he was fiercely struck on the face by a palm from Shui Qingling!
This palm directly caused Ao Bing to cry out in agony; his Path-Scenic Land vanished, his vital energy dissipated, and he fell from the sky.
The next moment, Shui Qingling had already returned to the small boat, while Ao Bing turned into a few meters long Jiaolong, landing at the bow of the boat, shivering!
He... was defeated by Shui Qingling in one move.
"The Kunpeng Method... Indeed fearsome."
Peng Tianzhong couldn't help but speak.
"Ao Bing is also considered a prominent genius among the younger generation, but in front of Miss Qingling, he couldn't even withstand one move..."
Gui Manman also spoke.
At this moment, Ao Bing realized that the two old men on this small boat seemed to be extremely extraordinary, and then, he was suddenly shocked; weren't these two none other than the illustrious Great Peng King and Camel Tortoise King?
Why were these two hiding on this small boat...
"Two seniors, save me!"
He hurriedly called out to them!
After all, his father, the Jiaolong King, had a deep friendship with these two.
However, Peng Tianzhong coldly said:
"You have offended someone you shouldn't have, suffering a bit is only right."
They had no intention of interfering on Ao Bing's behalf.
Ao Bing was startled by these words, what did they mean...
Had he offended someone he shouldn't have? Could it be that the girl had a significant background?
He turned to look at Shui Qingling, only to see Shui Qingling standing next to Dugu Yuqing, saying:
"Brother Dugu, how should we deal with this?"
Dugu Yuqing was contemplating and said:
"Jiaolong meat... It's been a long time since I had that."
Hearing this, Ao Bing also panicked immediately, hurriedly looking towards Peng Tianzhong and others, saying:
"Elders, do they want to eat me?!"
"In consideration of my father, elders, please help me!"
Both Peng Tianzhong and Gui Manman were startled, this young master, wants to eat Jiaolong?
"Don't worry, Young Master Dugu... it's just to scare you."
Gui Manman said.
At this moment, Dugu Yuqing also smiled and said to Ao Bing:
"You have a father? Alright, then we won't eat you for now."
Gui Manman immediately patted Ao Bing, saying: "You see, I told you Young Master Dugu was just scaring you."
Ao Bing immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it seems these people... still dread the renown of his father!
His life was no longer in jeopardy!
"Just you wait... my father, our Jiaolong clan... is not to be trifled with!"
He vowed fiercely in his heart!
The small boat moved forward, and the river slowed.
...
At this moment.
Kunlong Lake, where thousands of rivers converge, intertwining like a network.
The spirits and momentum of the world's great rivers all gather here.
Because it conceals the Waterway Imperial Court, Kunlong Lake is perpetually shrouded in misty waves, an inscrutable spiritual fog, where even kings entering it can lose their way and be utterly trapped to death.
Now, outside Kunlong Lake, groups of people were already gathering and waiting!
"...Golden Peng King, what do you think? Do you really want to be enemies with the Waterway Imperial Court…"
An old man leaning on a crocodile-headed cane asked a middle-aged man, his face reluctant.
This middle-aged man, wearing a golden war robe, had an indifferent and haughty expression—he was one of You Continent's most famous Demon Kings, Golden Peng King!
It is said that he is the closest to the Kunpeng Bloodline, although he shares the same mother with the Great Peng King, his bloodline is even stronger than that of Great Peng King!
"As enemies of the Waterway Imperial Court, even if we all combine forces, we are merely six 'Earth Kings', but what about the Waterway Imperial Court?"
"Countless Earth Kings, more Celestial Kings! And not a few Quasi-Emperors!"
Golden Peng King coldly said:
"My elder brother and Camel Tortoise King are old and deluded, that's why they would think of doing such a thing."
Hearing this, the nearby king—Sky Carving King—suddenly raised an eyebrow, saying:
"What do you suggest then, Golden Peng King?"
Golden Peng King coldly said: "This is our only chance to pledge allegiance to the Waterway Imperial Court."
Sky Carving King seemed somewhat hesitant, saying:
"Do you all think the same?"
Kun Crocodile King and Golden Peng King were silent.
Jiaolong King stroked his beard saying:
"As long as we do not become enemies with the Waterway Imperial Court, anything is fine... I came only to take my unruly son back."
Sky Carving King pondered for a moment, then said:
"That might be best... Darkness is coming, and Kaiyuan Continent is already enveloped by the shadow of darkness, there's no point dwelling in the past..."
"Nowadays, pledging allegiance to the Waterway Imperial Court might still give us a chance to survive..."
Their opinions... all unified.
"Report!"
"Great Peng King, Camel Tortoise King, they've arrived!"
At this moment, a voice rang out.
...
Meanwhile.
A middle-aged man was moving towards the direction of the Waterway Imperial Court from another direction.
"Divine Jumper, are you really reliable... Is the waist of Water Emperor really as slim as you said? Are the legs of Water Emperor really as straight and strong as you claimed?"
This person was none other than Ao Wushuang!
At this moment, he had thrown caution to the wind, as long as he could avoid that little village, anything was acceptable.
Going to find the Water Emperor... was also not out of the question.
"Water Emperor's waist, not just a waist, Snatcher of Three Lives's curved knife, Water Emperor's legs, not just legs, spring water on the shore of Kunlong Lake... Have you heard this phrase? Rest assured, follow me, brother, it's very stable!"
Divine Jumper, in his Path-Scenic Land, was extremely leisurely, peering through Ao Wushuang's Path-Scenic Land as if looking towards the outer Sky Vault, smiling and saying:
"Silent Way... quite interesting, it's a pity, a piece of speechless stone... will not be born."
He seemed to be anticipating something.
...
At this moment.
In the Sky Vault of You Continent.
A man with a terrifying aura had already appeared.
His expression was stern, his face chiseled like a blade.
His fighting spirit almost seemed to split the surrounding space!
War Emperor... Mo Zhan!
"The aura of Ancestor of Darkness, on this land..."
"Then let the battle begin from this land!"
With one step forward, he was already heading towards Kunlong Lake!
...
Good night.
