“Since you dare to call me using your real identity, speak. What is it?” Shenji Da Jun quickly calmed down and asked Chen Jiuyang.
Chen Jiuyang’s lips curved into an arc, and he smiled, “The Eastern Ying prince is no longer unwell. I have already treated him, and he will naturally awaken in three days.”
“Why did you do this?” Shenji Da Jun asked.
Chen Jiuyang replied, “Lin Xianxing and Lin Yuexian have been taken away by me. We have already left Eastern Ying and are on our way back to Long Guo.”
Shenji Da Jun’s voice, unhidden in its anger, rang out, “Is King Qian here specifically to humiliate our Eastern Ying Kingdom?!”
“Not at all,” Chen Jiuyang said with a smile. “But rather, I am kindly informing Shenji Da Jun that the Lotus Sect has an ancient monster that has lived for countless years. This ancient monster devours divine souls and consumes national destiny to prolong its life. The current unconscious state of the Eastern Ying prince was caused by her.”
“I know you are searching for her whereabouts. When I left Eastern Ying just now, I saw her. She is residing at the hotel where the prince is under soft confinement.”
“Heh heh, this ancient monster has great ambitions. I specifically informed you.”
After speaking, Chen Jiuyang hung up the phone. Since the ancient monster of the Lotus Sect was causing trouble in Eastern Ying, the people of Eastern Ying should be the ones to deal with the headache.
…
On the other side.
Ming Hua Tong sat in the car and asked the ancient monster of the Lotus Sect, “Grandmother, where are we going now?”
The ancient monster of the Lotus Sect revealed a sinister and ferocious smile, slowly saying, “Grandmother, I had a great consumption after fighting with the Yan King of Long Guo. I am very hungry and want to eat something delicious.”
“Grandmother heard that there is a very delicious big fish in Long Guo that is related to those two little pastries. So, I set a trap to lure him over. I just received news that this big fish seems to have fallen into your grandmother’s trap.”
“Now, I am going to collect the trap and eat him!”
The ancient monster of the Lotus Sect’s eyes were filled with greed, which made Ming Hua Tong feel a little terrified.
A moment later, the two got out of the car and arrived in front of a courtyard with a plaque inscribed as ‘Lin Yuan’.
The ancient monster of the Lotus Sect’s eyes were filled with hunger and greed. “Fish, oh fish, Grandmother is here to eat you!”
“Hmm?”
Inside the entire courtyard, there was no one to be seen.
Ming Hua Tong’s expression froze. Had they come for nothing?
The ancient monster of the Lotus Sect called over a middle-aged woman, her eyes sinister and terrifying. “Didn’t you say the big fish was right here?”
The middle-aged woman trembled and stammered, “Replying to Grandmother, I have been watching this place, and no one has left!”
“That person might have gone out on business and will return later. Please spare me, Grandmother.”
The ancient monster of the Lotus Sect’s eyes grew colder, her expression suddenly becoming ferocious. She opened her cavernous mouth, “Grandmother is too hungry. I can’t hold it in anymore. Good child, I’ll use you to fill my stomach first.”
“Screech—”
Scarlet blood splattered all over Ming Hua Tong. The middle-aged woman was directly devoured alive by the ancient monster of the Lotus Sect, causing her face to turn pale and her body to tremble slightly. Her pupils flickered, and she didn’t know what she was thinking.
Immediately, she affectionately linked her arm with the ancient monster of the Lotus Sect and said, “Grandmother, where are we going now?”
The ancient monster of the Lotus Sect’s face returned to its benevolent appearance. “Since the big fish is not here, let’s return to the bait and wait for the rabbit. Grandmother believes that the big fish, smelling the bait, will definitely be unable to resist coming.”
Then, the ancient monster of the Lotus Sect and Ming Hua Tong left the ‘Lin Yuan’ courtyard and drove back to the hotel.
“Beep!”
As the elevator door opened, the ancient monster of the Lotus Sect’s expression became ferocious. “Where is the bait!”
In her sight, the bait she considered two sweet desserts had disappeared. She could no longer smell it!
The next moment.
Terrifying true qi erupted. An aged figure, holding an Eastern Ying katana and wearing a kimono, possessed a powerful sharp aura, and was enveloped in purple-blue energy. She looked at the ancient monster of the Lotus Sect and said in a cold voice,
“Senior Demoness, I have been waiting for a long time.”
A hint of surprise flashed in the ancient monster of the Lotus Sect’s eyes, and then her expression became even more ferocious. “Interesting. I, the old one, also have a day when I am calculated against.”
“Good fish, good fish! Grandmother will definitely not let you go!”
“Rumble!”
In the next instant, a fierce and unparalleled battle erupted.
…
The bright moon shone high.
The sea breeze was biting.
On a cargo ship heading to Long Guo.
Chen Jiuyang was chatting with Lin Xianxing and Lin Yuexian, reviewing the incident.
It was fraught with danger. Fortunately, Chen Jiuyang was cautious, astute, and decisive. Otherwise, this trip would truly have fallen into the ancient monster’s trap.
Within Long Guo, the ancient monster of the Lotus Sect could not harm him. However, once he left Long Guo, he became fat meat in the eyes of the ancient monster of the Lotus Sect.
This ancient monster of the Lotus Sect played the Eastern Ying royal family and the Shenji organization in the palm of her hand, and designed to lure him here. Such methods were chilling.
If Chen Jiuyang had not treated Prince Gong, he would not have been able to determine that the Eastern Ying prince’s coma was related to the Lotus Sect.
Lin Yuexian said with guilt, “Chen Lang, I’m sorry. I’ve caused you trouble this time.”
Lin Xianxing also said, “This time, it has indeed caused you trouble, Jiuyang. Fortunately, you are astute, otherwise, I would truly become a sinner of Long Guo.”
Although he was a third-rank diplomat of Long Guo, Chen Jiuyang was the Sixth King of Long Guo and would represent the martial arts world of Long Guo in the War of National Destiny next year. His status and responsibility were even heavier than his.
If, because of his affairs, Long Guo lost a king with a promising future, it would truly be a grave sin.
Chen Jiuyang waved his hand and said seriously, “This was my own decision, and it has nothing to do with Uncle and Yuexian.”
“As the Sixth King of Long Guo, if I cannot even protect my own relatives and stand by idly, how can I talk about protecting the people of Long Guo? What is the difference between me and those selfish noble families and sects?”
“This experience can be considered a lesson learned.”
“Until the Heavenly Realm, I dare not rashly go abroad.”
“Beep beep beep!”
At this moment, Chen Jiuyang’s phone rang. Looking at the number, it was from Eastern Ying. Only Huo Yuanzhong and Shenji Da Jun knew this phone number.
Chen Jiuyang hesitated for a moment and answered the call.
Huo Yuanzhong said solemnly on the phone, “King Qian, where are you now?”
“…” Chen Jiuyang’s expression was stunned, and then he gave a bitter smile. It seemed his identity had been seen through.
Chen Jiuyang glanced at the monitor on the ship and said, “We are about two hours away from our Long Guo border waters.”
Then, the next moment, a sinister and terrifying old woman’s voice rang from the other end of the phone, “Good fish, so you are returning by ship. It’s been hard for Grandmother to find you. Grandmother is coming to find you now!”
“To eat you!”
“Crunch! Crunch!”
There was also the sound of the ancient monster of the Lotus Sect chewing bones from the other end of the phone.
Chen Jiuyang’s goosebumps instantly erupted, his scalp tingled, and his face turned pale.
