Shen Lang had been thinking about what would happen after the battle at Tianyue City.
Before attacking Tianyue City, he had been preparing for the next battle, which was the Sky-sea Pavilion's fleet of destruction. Because of the Remorse of the Dragon, this battle would be a piece of cake. Although the battle at Dingyuan City was earth-shattering, it was just an aftershock. It might even be a conspiracy.
Therefore, long ago, Shen Lang had been thinking about what to do after the Sky-sea Pavilion retreated.
There were two things that surprised him. First, Stupa Mountain had developed too quickly. After obtaining the Great Primordial Relic in the southern sea, Stupa Mountain's development over the past three years had exceeded that of the previous few decades. It had far surpassed the Sky-sea Pavilion. It even wanted to become the second White Jade Jing and break away from the eastern world order controlled by Great Yan's emperor.
Second, Stupa Mountain had a large number of Remorse of the Dragon.
This created a fatal crisis. Originally, Shen Lang thought he could rely on the ancient equipment to protect Raging Tide City. Now, it seemed very difficult. After using up the Remorse of the Dragon, Shen Lang would lose his strategic deterrent.
Of course, he had wanted to use strategic blackmail to make the world think he had a lot of Remorse of the Dragon.
He was halfway to success. Now, almost everyone thought he had a lot of Remorse of the Dragon. After all, he had used dozens of them in the battle at Dingyuan City.
However, he could not have any illusions about the enemy at this critical moment. Especially when he thought about the first impact of the Flaming Dragon Comet, which coincided with the rise of the Great Yan Empire. Therefore, Shen Lang had to be mentally prepared. He and the Fire God Sect were not the only ones who knew about the comet's impact.
The Great Yan Emperor, Ying Guang, Ying Wuming, and a few others all knew about the comet's impact.
The Jin Nation and the Tongtian Temple were the biggest victims of this conspiracy. Of course, there was one thing that Shen Lang was puzzled about. Did the Execution Pavilion know the truth about the comet's impact?
First, the Execution Pavilion had a close relationship with the Great Yan Emperor. It was actually a transcendent force controlled by the Great Yan Imperial Family.
If the Execution Pavilion knew the truth about the comet's impact, why did they send a secret army of 20,000 to join the Jin Nation's Crown Prince's western army? If the Punishing Heavens Pavilion didn't know, then why would the experts of the Punishing Heavens Pavilion appear at the scene of the collision?
Shen Lang had created two fake dragon eggs. One of them was definitely meant for Ying Guang and his son. He intended to give the other egg to Great Yan's Imperial family. However, he had no idea who would try to snatch the fake dragon egg.
However, one thing was certain. No matter who snatched the fake dragon egg, they would not run to Ying Guang and tell him that they had obtained a dragon egg.
Back to the topic at hand. Since someone had seen through the truth of the comet collision, the fact that Shen Lang did not have the Regret of the Dragon in his hands was completely exposed.
Then what would he rely on to protect Raging Tide City? Protect the Three Kingdoms of Wu, Chu and Yue?
Of course, due to the rapid rise of Stupa Mountain and its integration with the New Qian Kingdom, the situation in the world had changed.
On the surface, Shen Lang's so-called Great Qian Dynasty was the Great Yan Emperor's greatest opponent. However, in reality, it was no longer the case. The alliance of Ying Guang and Stupa Mountain was the Emperor's greatest enemy.
This was because Stupa Mountain had repeatedly sent out signals for Ying Wuming to represent Stupa Mountain in the transcendent force's conference. This was even more fatal to the Great Yan Dynasty. This meant that a huge force was about to establish itself.
The combination of the New Qian Kingdom and Stupa Mountain was far more powerful than Shen Lang. Once it announced its independence, it would be a huge blow to the Great Yan Dynasty.
Originally, the Sky-sea Pavilion could still restrain Ying Guang and Stupa Mountain. However, they did not expect Ning Han's fleet to be defeated by Shen Lang. Zuo Ci decisively withdrew from the State of Yue and staked everything on the development of the desert.
Therefore, the entire eastern world had become the Great Yan Empire, the New Qian Kingdom, and the Great Qian Dynasty's Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The Great Yan Emperor took the opportunity to go into seclusion. He admitted that Shen Lang had dozens of Dragon's Regret and ordered the army to retreat. In reality, Shen Lang's temporary existence was already beneficial to the Great Yan Emperor. It could restrain Ying Guang and Stupa Mountain to the greatest extent.
In the eyes of the world, Shen Lang would definitely deal with Ying Guang and his son first before dealing with the Great Yan Empire. This was because the New Qian Kingdom was an old country. There could only be one Great Qian in the entire eastern world.
Thus, a very serious problem was placed in front of Shen Lang. How could he resist Stupa Mountain and Ying Guang? Once they launched a fatal attack on Raging Tide City, could Raging Tide City be protected without the Dragon's Regret?
Originally, Shen Lang thought that it was possible. After all, he had many large-caliber cannons and ancient giant crossbows. He had also seized a large amount of ancient equipment from the Sky-sea Pavilion.
However, from the information provided by the Stupa Mountain observer, Shen Lang discovered that Stupa Mountain was no longer the Stupa Mountain of the past. It was much stronger than he had imagined. It was no longer possible to protect Raging Tide City with ordinary means.
Therefore, while everyone was celebrating their victory, Shen Lang was racking his brains for a way out. The result was completely unexpected.
That was why he said to the mirror that although it seemed like they had won on the surface, it was actually the most dangerous moment. Hell was beneath his feet. When he looked up, he found himself in a hopeless situation with no way out.
Of course, Raging Tide City had a strategic weapon, and that was the Sky-sea Pavilion's ancient warship. It could protect Raging Tide City's sea control to a certain extent, but could it resist Stupa Mountain's fleet?
The ancient relic that Stupa Mountain had discovered was on the sea. If the Sky-sea Pavilion had an ancient warship, who could be sure that Stupa Mountain didn't have one?
Moreover, the ancient warship that Shen Lang had seized had been melted and distorted by the Dragon's Regret. It would take a long time to repair it.
Therefore, at this time, Shen Lang had another idea. He wanted to bring Yaoyao to the Devil's Triangle and subdue those super powerful sea monsters to protect Raging Tide City's sea.
However, after thinking about it, he gave up because there was still another path. It was better for him to take the risk than to let Yaoyao take the risk.
This path looked like a bottomless abyss. It was extremely dangerous, but it was the only way out.
Without the Dragon's Regret, Shen Lang would no longer be a strategic threat. He wouldn't be able to resist Stupa Mountain and Ying Guang's attack on Raging Tide City.
Therefore, he treated himself as a strategic weapon.
To Ying Guang and his son, Shen Lang was a hundred times more important than Raging Tide City. The reason why they attacked Raging Tide City was to capture or kill Shen Lang.
Originally, they would definitely kill Shen Lang, but everything changed after Shen Lang successfully fired the Dragon's Regret.
Shen Lang became invaluable to Ying Guang. Not only could he not die, he had to live well.
This was because Stupa Mountain had many Dragon's Regret, but they couldn't fire them.
A Dragon's Regret that couldn't be fired could not be a strategic threat, especially not the Great Yan Empire.
Therefore, as long as Shen Lang fell into the hands of Ying Guang and his son, Raging Tide City would become safer.
Even though this move seemed unwise, Shen Lang had already weighed the pros and cons in his mind countless times. In the end, he still made this decision.
He originally wanted to discuss it with Chou Yao 'er, but she said that it was not necessary. She just needed to tell him what to do.
Then what was Shen Lang's goal in entering enemy territory and falling into the hands of Ying Guang and his son? What did he want to do?
The first important goal was to obtain Dragon's Regret. Even if there was only one, it could be a huge strategic threat and protect Raging Tide City. Currently, in the entire eastern world, only Stupa Mountain had Dragon's Regret. Therefore, Shen Lang had to pull the tiger's teeth out, or rather, how could he catch the tiger cub without entering the tiger's den.
The second goal wasn't the main one, but it would be even better if he could accomplish it. That was to drive a wedge between Stupa Mountain and Ying Guang.
The radioactive substance in this fake dragon egg could cause fatal damage to the bodies of Ying Guang and his father. It could even be done without anyone noticing. However, it would require a certain amount of time. Shen Lang had to grasp the lethality of this radiation well because he had spent a short period of time with this dragon egg.
Of course, Shen Lang's bloodline was very mysterious. He couldn't even determine if the radioactive material would cause damage to his body.
… … …
At this moment, Shen Lang was lying naked on the bed. A majestic woman stood in front of him, but Ying Wuming was nowhere to be seen.
"Where am I?" Shen Lang asked again.
"No comment," the woman replied.
Shen Lang asked, "Where's Ying Wuming?"
"No comment," the woman replied.
Shen Lang asked, "Where are my clothes? Why did you strip me so clean? Are you trying to sleep with me? "
The majestic woman's face trembled. "No comment."
It was as if she didn't know what else to say other than these four words.
Shen Lang said, "Give me back my clothes. I can't be naked all the time."
"No comment."
"Fine, just be naked. I don't care anyway. But I don't think you should look at me too much, lest you start fantasizing about me." Shen Lang said, "Although my taste is sometimes heavy, it has become much lighter now. Don't have any improper thoughts about me."
The majestic woman's face twitched, and she resisted the urge to punch Shen Lang to death.
Next, Shen Lang got off the bed shamelessly and began to wander around the room, observing every place. He had to know where he was.
In the end, he was completely clueless because the room didn't even have a window.
However, he knew that it had been more than ten days since he had been captured by Ying Wuming.
Was he in the Xingqian Kingdom or Stupa Mountain? Or was he somewhere else?
Not finding any clues in the room, Shen Lang walked toward the door, but he was stopped by the majestic woman.
"You can't step out of this room," the majestic woman said. She stretched out her arm and easily blocked Shen Lang.
This woman's martial arts was very high, and her bloodline talent was also very high. She was similar to the special bloodline users that Jiang Li had nurtured. She was similar to Lan Bao, Tu Da, and Tu Er, those super fierce generals. However, there was a slight difference. Her bloodline was slightly evil.
Therefore, Shen Lang's nose came close to her body and kept sniffing.
He sniffed her face, her chest, and her abdomen. He was simply a hooligan to the extreme.
The majestic woman trembled slightly, and almost all the hair on her body stood on end. She had never experienced any man in her life, and she didn't dare to be interested in men. However, this was the first time she had been teased like this.
However, she couldn't do anything because this scumbag was too fragile. She could kill him with one slap.
"You are a person with a special bloodline cultivated by Stupa Mountain, and your martial arts are very strong. Not only are you a grandmaster, but you are also a grandmaster with a bloodline." Shen Lang said, "You are a super fierce general on the battlefield. It is a pity that you are guarding the door here. Sister General, what is your name?"
The majestic woman's face trembled. "No comment."
Chen Lang said, "Big Sister Valiant General, the reason all of you stripped me clean is definitely because you're afraid that I would use some sort of scheme, right? You were especially afraid that I would use poison or Nightmare Stone, so you took everything from me. You were even afraid that I would hide things, so you didn't allow me to wear clothes? However, don't you know that many prisoners hide things in their buttocks? "
The majestic woman's face twitched again.
Shen Lang said, "Do you want to check? Maybe there is something hidden in my buttocks."
The sound of teeth gritting could be heard in the air. The majestic woman couldn't imagine that such a despicable person was actually the Great Qian Emperor? He was actually Jiang Li's son. The heavens were simply blind.
However, no matter what Shen Lang said or did, the majestic woman in front of her only had four words: No comment.
Shen Lang was completely imprisoned in this room of 20 square meters and couldn't go out at all.
However, he was not in a hurry because the opportunity would come.
… …
Ying Guang held the dragon egg and carefully observed it.
Ying Wuming said, "The scales on it match perfectly with the pit, and the shell of this dragon egg is extremely strong. It is not afraid of any swords or flames."
Ying Guang closed his eyes as if he wanted to feel the energy inside. He had never seen a dragon, but he had seen Regret of the Dragon.
He could really feel a very mysterious and strange power, and he could even faintly smell the aura of Regret of the Dragon.
The most important thing was that the radioactive material inside was too mysterious, and the Eastern world had never seen it before. It continuously released radiation energy, which made people feel that there was a dragon inside.
Therefore, this dragon egg was more real than the real one. Shen Lang had never seen a real dragon egg before, so perhaps there was no energy seeping out of it.
Next, the most important thing for Ying Guang and his son was how to hatch it. This was because there was no precedent, and this dragon egg was too precious, so they didn't dare to try. They could only desperately read ancient books, hoping to find relevant information.
"You can't tell anyone about this dragon egg, including your fiancée," Ying Guang said.
"Yes," Ying Wuming said.
Ying Guang said, "Will Shen Lang tell them?"
Ying Wuming said, "No, he is the smartest person in the world, and he doesn't even need to be threatened. If he dares to say half a word, I will castrate him. This person cherishes his life and body the most, so he won't say a word. "
Ying Guang continued to play with the dragon egg in his hand, feeling as if he was holding the emperor's jade seal.
A real dragon was the son of heaven, and anyone with a dragon was the son of heaven.
Ying Wuming said, "Father, how did the emperor react to me representing Stupa Mountain to participate in the transcendental forces meeting?"
Ying Guang said, "The emperor won't say anything, but the crown prince said he wants to see you at the transcendental forces meeting."
Ying Wuming said, "That means he won't allow it."
Ying Guang said, "Of course not. One White Jade Capital is enough. Jiang Li appeared more than 20 years ago and tried to overthrow the order of the eastern world. In the end, Jiang Li died. Now, of course, he won't allow anyone else to overthrow his order, but … we have no other choice. "
Great Yan's emperor would definitely unify the world. Not only would he attack Jin Nation, but he would also attack New Qian Nation.
Now, Jin Nation had lost more than 600,000 soldiers, and the crown prince's fate was unknown. It was a huge blow. The biggest obstacle preventing the emperor from unifying the world was Ying Guang and Stupa Mountain.
"This transcendental forces meeting is very important. Once you officially represent Stupa Mountain, you will officially represent New Qian Nation's union with Stupa Mountain and officially break away from the current order of the eastern world." Ying Guang said, "Therefore, His Majesty will definitely do everything possible to prevent all this from happening. He might even launch a terrifying attack on China."
Ying Wuming said, "Therefore, we need a strategic deterrent, and Shen Lang has become very important."
Ying Guang said, "Shoot a Dragon's Regret at the critical moment to warn Great Yan not to act rashly. Once you successfully attend the transcendental forces meeting and Great Yan's royal family can't do anything, we will have succeeded in this step, and we will officially take the first step of independence."
Ying Wuming said, "Actually, the emperor still has high hopes for Shen Lang. He hoped that he could obstruct us and create trouble for us. However, Shen Lang disappointed him."
… …
One day, three days, five days, ten days, half a month …
For the next few days, Shen Lang was still under house arrest in this room of more than 20 square meters. He couldn't step out of the room, and he still didn't know where he was. He still didn't see anyone else.
He only faced this majestic woman. Apart from saying no comment, she would never say anything else. In fact, Shen Lang didn't even know her name.
During these few days, he only slept and ate like a pig. He couldn't talk or read.
If it were someone else, he would have gone crazy. He had been confined in this room for more than ten days without any entertainment, and no one to talk to.
If he didn't have the AI, he wouldn't even know the time. He wouldn't know whether it was day or night, and he wouldn't know how much time had passed.
Every day felt like a year.
However, only an ant that didn't know its direction would run around on a hot pan. Shen Lang was an extremely intelligent person. He didn't even have the slightest abnormality, let alone going crazy.
The enemy was deliberately mystifying things, but he clearly knew the rhythm of time.
Very soon, someone would come to see him. If there were no accidents, it would be within these two or three days. As the transcendental forces meeting was getting closer, his opportunity would come very soon.
As expected, on the 19th day of Shen Lang's imprisonment.
One day, he was sleeping soundly. Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and the majestic woman carried a large bucket into the room. It was filled with bathwater.
"Quickly take a bath. Your entire body has to be clean. There can't be any dirt." The majestic woman finally said her second sentence.
Shen Lang climbed out of bed and entered the bathtub. He originally wanted to say that he never bathed by himself, but he didn't dare to say it in the end. This valiant sister was extremely strong. If he asked her to help him bathe, he would probably peel off a layer of skin.
"I love bathing. My skin is so good …" Shen Lang sang as he bathed.
After bathing, he wore a new set of clothes. However, it wasn't brocade, but hemp clothes.
What does this mean? Is she worried that I'm too handsome and attractive? Then, the next person he was going to see was a woman?
"Follow me. Don't walk around randomly. Otherwise, you will have to bear the consequences." The majestic woman said before walking out.
Finally, Shen Lang walked out of the room. It had been a total of 19 days.
Following that was a winding corridor. It was deep and quiet, and it was made of rocks. It was filled with the traces of time, and there were candles everywhere. There was no sunlight, and there were no windows.
Shen Lang could conclude that this was an underground city somewhere. Moreover, it was very likely that it was an underground city controlled by Stupa Mountain.
After walking for a while, he arrived at a door. There were four female warriors guarding the door. Each of them had a special bloodline and were very strong in martial arts.
"Creak!" The stone door opened.
"Go in," the majestic female warrior said.
Shen Lang walked in. It was a huge stone room. It was grand and simple, but it didn't have any luxurious atmosphere. Instead, it was very deep and cold. The temperature was much lower than outside.
"Shen Lang …" A cold voice rang out. It really sounded like a piece of ice shattering.
Ning Han's coldness was deliberately suppressed all year round. However, the voice of the woman in front of him was really cold. Just listening to it made people feel bone-chilling.
"I'll let you see an old friend," the cold woman said.
Then, a flame lit up at the side, and a cage made of thick iron pillars appeared. There was a person locked inside. His hair was disheveled, and he was covered in wounds. He was unconscious.
Shen Lang couldn't help but tremble. He thought that it would be his teacher, Wu Tuzi. He didn't expect it to be Bitter Joy.
How could it be him?!
Shen Lang's heart couldn't help but seethe with excitement, because Bitter Joy was together with Prince Jin, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers. At that time, they were defeated by Zhu Hongxue and forced into desperate straits. They entered a deathly forbidden mountain range, and never came out again.
Now that he saw Bitter Joy, did it mean that Prince Jin's whereabouts were known? And Prince Jin's army?
It wasn't just Prince Jin. There were also the Lan Brothers, Lan Bao, Tu Da, and Tu Er. In short, all the people loyal to Shen Lang were there.
The woman said, "Shen Lang, this person is Bitter Joy. He is your most loyal subject. You shouldn't be willing to see him die, right?"
After a while, an executioner walked out of the prison. He held a demon-headed saber and placed it on Bitter Joy's neck.
The woman said coldly, "Next, if you say a single lie, I will cut off Bitter Joy's head. Do you understand?"
Shen Lang said, "Good. Truth or Dare. I like it the most."
His words were frivolous, but his heart was very serious. He even used X-rays to scan Bitter Joy's body. He was still alive, but he had fainted.
Not only that, but his body seemed to have undergone an intense change. He seemed to have grown taller, and his heart was especially large. It was much larger than a normal person's. The proportions of his limbs were also different.
In short, he didn't look like a human anymore. Furthermore, he was much stronger than before.
Bitter Joy's body must have undergone a huge change. But was it just Bitter Joy's change alone, or did Prince Jin and the others change together? Also, why did he fall into the hands of Stupa Mountain? Was he the only one captured, or were there many others?
Shen Lang quickly concluded that Prince Jin was definitely not captured. Otherwise, the other party would definitely use Prince Jin to threaten him. After all, Prince Jin was more important than Bitter Joy.
The woman said coldly, "I'm going to ask the first question. If you lie, Bitter Joy will die!"
"First question: Shen Lang, did you accidentally get captured by Ying Wuming, or did you get captured on purpose?"
Damn, the first question was already so tricky. This woman was amazing. Moreover, she directly addressed him as Ying Wuming. Her status must be very high.
"Think carefully before you answer. Once your head is cut off, it can never be reattached again," the woman said coldly.
Shen Lang replied, "I got captured by Ying Wuming on purpose. It was all part of my plan."
The woman sneered and said, "Very good. Bitter Joy is temporarily alive."
Shen Lang tried to search for her location, but her voice seemed to come from all directions. This woman's martial arts were very strong. Perhaps not inferior to Ning Han?
"Then let me ask the second question. Shen Lang, why did you deliberately let yourself be captured by Ying Wuming?"
As soon as this question came out, Shen Lang suddenly fell silent.
"Don't even think about lying. I can definitely tell," the woman said coldly. "And don't even think about not answering. Bitter Joy will still die."
Shen Lang still didn't answer.
The woman said, "I'm going to start the countdown. Once the countdown ends and you still haven't answered, Bitter Joy will be beheaded."
"Five, four, three …"
Suddenly, the executioner in the cage slowly raised his ghost-head knife, ready to chop down at any time.
"Two, one …" The countdown was about to end.
Shen Lang shouted, "Stop, I'll answer!"
Then, he let out a long breath and said, "Respected Princess of Stupa Mountain, you are Ying Wuming's fiancée, right? I deliberately let myself be captured by Ying Wuming for only one purpose, and that is to sleep with you and make Ying Wuming a cuckold. "
… … …
