There was no battle in Raging Tide City. Just as Shen Lang had said, the battle had ended before it had even truly begun. The entire Raging Tide City army was quite excited but also a bit disappointed. They really wanted to fight openly, but it was a pity that they were not strong enough.
After Stupa Mountain and the other half of Ying Guang's fleet retreated, no one cheered or celebrated. Instead, they silently picked up their weapons and trained with all their might.
After receiving the report, Shen Lang only gave an 'oh' before returning to his room and continuing with his most important task.
In the stone coffin in the Primordial Square, Shen Lang had obtained an Ancient King's scroll.
This scroll was most likely very important, or else it would not have been buried with that Ancient King. As such, Shen Lang had to study it as quickly as possible, but before that, he had to record it down. As such, he used his X-ray eyes to scan it layer by layer before storing it in his brain. He did not need to read it yet and only needed to continuously store it.
Shen Lang had never thought that there would be so much content in this scroll. Before, it had been said that there might be a few thousand pages, but as he continued to scan, it seemed to be endless. He had already scanned through 30,000 pages, but it was still not over.
Not only that, but this Ancient King's scroll was even more complicated than all the ancient records he had read before. In fact, it was much more complicated. Even Shen Lang found it a little hard to understand. He might need to work with other ancient records to decipher it.
After a few hours, Shen Lang finally finished scanning through all of the 53,000 pages.
Following this, Shen Lang tried to read the contents of the Ancient King's scroll, and his scalp went numb. It was simply too cryptic, and it was filled with the terminology of the Primordial Civilization.
… …
Within Paradise Manor.
The children were all laughing and playing crazily. Even Yaoyao was extremely excited.
Because the flying beast Big Chao had also come to the manor, under Qiu Yao 'er's protection, all of the children tried to ride on Big Chao to fly. At first, Bian Fei was quite worried that Big Chao would scare the children if it flew too fast. However, Big Chao was too smart and flew very steadily. It was even more comfortable than riding a horse.
"I never expected that there would actually be an Ancient Beast with such intelligence," Ning Yuanxian said with a smile.
At this time, Shen Mo finally woke up. He opened his eyes in a daze and desperately stared in the direction of his brothers and sisters' laughter. However, he was still too young and his eyesight was still very weak. He couldn't see clearly.
Shen Lang asked, "Father-in-law, have you heard of any ancient beasts before?"
Ning Yuanxian nodded and said, "Yes, but the term is more profound. It's called an ancient divine beast."
Speaking of ancient divine beasts, Shen Lang couldn't help but think of the Vermillion Bird Xuanwu.
Ning Yuanxian said, "Of course, they might not be as powerful as the Vermilion Bird Xuanwu, the Azure Dragon, and the White Tiger. However, the few transcendent forces, including the Great Yan Empire, all had their own Ancient Divine Beasts. They were known as the national treasures. Isn't there a rumor that the Great Yan Empire has a dragon? "
Shen Lang nodded. This was not the first time he had heard of this legend.
The Great Super in front of him was certainly powerful, but it wasn't qualified to be a divine beast.
Ning Yuanxian said, "The Stupa Mountain, the Sky-sea Pavilion, the Execution Sky Pavilion, and the White Jade Jing all have Ancient Divine Beasts. However, this kind of thing can be real or fake. If they have one, they will deny it and say that they don't have one. However, those who don't have one will try their best to make others think that they have one. "
Shen Lang understood this all too well. For example, Shen Lang clearly didn't have the Dragon's Regret, but he insisted that he had it. Ying Guang obviously had it, but he insisted that he didn't have it.
"As expected, there is no war in the Fury Tide City," Ning Yuanxian said, "But you probably won't be able to stop, right?"
Shen Lang nodded. Indeed, he wouldn't be able to stop.
This time, the allied forces of the Stupa Mountain and Ying Guang suffered heavy casualties. Both their commanders had fallen into Shen Lang's hands.
Ning Yuanxian said, "If Ying Guang and the Stupa Mountain want to negotiate with you and exchange Prince Jin for Elder Wu and Ying Wuque, what will you do?"
Shen Lang said, "Prince Jin and the other tens of thousands of people aren't in their hands. What's the point of talking about an exchange? It's impossible to return what is already in my hands. "
Ning Yuanxian said, "This time, the Stupa Mountain and Ying Guang suffered a great loss. Because you still have the Dragon's Regret, they probably won't attack the Fury Tide City again. But what if the New Qian Kingdom attacks the Wu Kingdom, Chu Kingdom, and Yue Kingdom? The Empire of Great Yan will be happy to see this happen, right? "
Shen Lang said, "So, we can't fall into the enemy's rhythm. We can't be passive."
Ning Yuanxian said, "Are you ready for the next war?"
Shen Lang said, "More or less."
Ning Yuanxian said, "At that time, the Sky-sea Pavilion's Zuo Ci retreated and decisively stopped the war after suffering heavy losses. He also withdrew from the State of Yue and staked everything on the Great Desert. But I don't think Ying Guang and the Stupa Mountain are that broad-minded."
The world was divided into three parts. The second and third brother would join forces against the eldest. This was usually the most normal and stable situation. But unfortunately, there was almost no room for compromise between Shen Lang and Ying Guang.
Ning Yuanxian said, "If I'm not wrong, you might want to take the initiative to attack again and let the enemy fall into your rhythm?"
Shen Lang said, "Father-in-law, you are wise, even wiser than when you were the king."
Ning Yuanxian waved his hand and said, "Although I'm not a fatuous king, I'm not very smart either. I have good foresight, but I don't have a strong will, can't endure hardship, and is not broad-minded enough. Unlike you, who appears to be narrow-minded on the surface but has no desires in reality. "
Shen Lang placed his chess piece. The two of them were playing Chinese chess. With a radius of eight taels, they were evenly matched.
"Your next target should be the New Qian Kingdom. It should be time to build momentum, right?" Ning Yuanxian said with a smile.
"Yes." Shen Lang said, "If it wasn't for the situation, I really wouldn't have set my target on the New Qian Kingdom so quickly. After the New Qian Kingdom is the Stupa Mountain, and then the Great Yan Empire. That elusive emperor really makes my scalp tingle."
Ning Yuanxian said, "Even I, who doesn't care about worldly affairs, feel my scalp tingle when I think of that person, let alone you."
… …
Elder Wu finally woke up and instinctively raised his hands. This was because in his last memory, his hands had been chopped off by Chou Yao 'er. He didn't expect that he could actually raise his hands slightly, and it wasn't the feeling of losing his limbs.
Shen Lang said, "Elder Wu, you've finally woken up. The medicine I used was truly too strong, and I even used a Nightmare Stone to make you fall asleep. Don't worry, I was the one who stitched up your arms. I made sure that every nerve was stitched up very well. Because they weren't severed for a long time, the survival rate of the nerves is very high. Your hands will soon be able to move normally, and even your martial arts won't be affected much. "
Shen Lang was wearing a white coat, a mask, and a pair of glasses. He didn't look like the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty at all. He was more like a doctor.
He wore a pair of rubber gloves to check Elder Wu's stitched up wounds. That's right, Raging Tide City finally produced rubber on a large scale, even though it wasn't very useful at the moment.
"The wounds are recovering very well. There's a little redness at the stitches, but that's normal. There's no obvious swelling, and there's almost no inflammation. We gave you the best medicine, and your body is very strong." Shen Lang said, "Elder Wu, I'm sure that you'll recover in two to three months at most."
Elder Wu moved his legs, wanting to know if his martial arts tendons and meridians had been severed. In the end, he discovered that they were not.
"Shen Lang, you're a smart person," Elder Wu said. "An extremely smart person."
Shen Lang nodded.
Elder Wu said, "I'm relieved that you're a smart person. Actually, I'm not on your enemy list at all! Actually, you're right, our Stupa Mountain has plenty of room for cooperation with the Great Qian Dynasty. You won't get to know each other if you don't fight. Pavilion Master Zuoci had a very good talk with you before and signed a truce agreement. "
Shen Lang said, "Yes, Pavilion Master Zuoci's wisdom is really admirable."
Elder Wu said, "If I'm not wrong, you came out of the ancient ruins on that flying beast, right? And Prince Jin and the tens of thousands of people are still in the ancient ruins, still surrounded by us. That's good, we can totally make a deal. "
"A deal?" Shen Lang asked, "What do you mean?"
Elder Wu said, "Of course, one person for one person. I'll exchange for Prince Jin. You let me go back, and Stupa Mountain will let Prince Jin come back. "
"Oh!" Shen Lang took out a special Nightmare Stone device and placed it on Elder Wu's head.
Elder Wu trembled, "You, what are you doing?"
"Nothing, nothing." Shen Lang said, "Elder Wu, your martial arts are really good. Qiu Yao 'er is already the best on our side, and you're on par with her. I'm really thirsty for talent. I wonder if you've ever thought of changing sides and pledging your loyalty to me?"
When Elder Wu heard this, he was instantly stunned. Has Shen Lang gone mad? Who did he think he was? A plaything that might not have a tomorrow, and might even be destroyed one day, actually wanted him, a dignified elder of Stupa Mountain, to surrender?
Was he out of his mind? And he was trying to persuade him to surrender?
Shen Lang said, "Elder Wu, the Bitter Joy has fallen into your hands, and it has mutated. Its martial arts have become very strong, but it has also lost its mind. It has actually become a fighting monster, a powerful walking corpse. I'm really sad. However, I still covet this technique from Stupa Mountain very much. Therefore, I feel that with your high level of martial arts, I must not let it go to waste. Next, I will conduct a few experiments on you, Shen Lang. I want to tame you into a powerful walking corpse. I want to turn you into a fighting monster that has completely lost its mind and completely obeys orders. I hope you don't mind … "
Elder Wu's body began to tremble. He didn't think that Shen Lang would actually have such a plan. He was an elder of Stupa Mountain, a person of high status and power.
"Shen Lang, you dare, you dare … ah … ah … ah …" Elder Wu let out an incomparably mournful howl.
But in an instant, he completely fainted.
This was because of the special Nightmare Stone device that Shen Lang had developed. A few needles pierced into his brain, then released a terrifying electric current that struck his brain. This should be a super electric shock from another world.
Seeing that Elder Wu had completely fainted and was bleeding from his nostrils, Shen Lang was stunned. "I, did I set the energy output too high? Don't kill him … "
Stupa Mountain's device was very advanced. It was that fake energy vortex that could destroy the brain's memory and mind, turning a person into a reflexive walking corpse.
Therefore, Shen Lang also wanted to start this project. He would capture many martial arts experts every time, but they wouldn't really surrender. Therefore, wouldn't it be better to transform them into walking corpse warriors?
However, his first experiment seemed to have failed. The electric current overloaded.
"Aren't we acting a little too early? Let's wait until his arms are fully healed before we start the experiment," Zhang Chunhua said. "It would be a pity if such a peerless expert were to die."
… …
Compared to Elder Wu, Ying Wuque wasn't as lucky. His entire body was burned, and he only woke up after a few days and nights.
However, when he woke up, he really didn't feel any pain. His whole body felt lazy and very comfortable.
It was still Shen Lang who personally treated him. He applied the burn ointment and fed him a special kind of milk, causing the pain to almost disappear after he drank it.
"Shen Lang, you're ruthless, ruthless …" Ying Wuque sneered. "If I'm not wrong, Prince Jin and the rest should still be in the ancient ruins of Mt. King Kong, right? Also, let me tell you that your teacher, Wu Tuzi, is still in our hands. He's a captive. You're a smart person, so you should know how to treat me. Because the damage you've inflicted on me will be returned to Wu Tuzi and Bitter Joy by ten times, or even a hundred times. "
Shen Lang said slowly, "Ying Wuque, I was once in your hands for a few months. To be honest, you treated me pretty well. At least, you didn't hurt a single hair on me. You once wanted to chop off my finger, but you didn't do it in the end. Brother Ying Wuque, I owe you for that. "
Ying Wuque said, "You're smart, very smart. Now, you can send someone to negotiate with my father and exchange hostages. You can use me to exchange for Wu Tuzi, Bitter Joy, or Prince Jin. "
Shen Lang asked, "Can't we exchange for three?"
Ying Wuque said, "Shen Lang, don't push your luck. It's true that you still have a Dragon's Regret that you haven't used, so we won't attack your Fury Tide City anymore. However, we can attack the Wu, Chu, and Yue Kingdoms. Do you have any way to stop us? We can easily wipe them out. Therefore, if you negotiate with my father now, you might be able to exchange for Wu Tuzi. Otherwise, when the New Qian Kingdom gathers its army to wipe out the Wu, Chu, and Yue Kingdoms, you won't have a chance anymore. "
Shen Lang said, "Ying Wuque, after I stole two of your Dragon's Regret, you actually wanted to cut off my finger. Although you didn't cut it off in the end, you threatened me and caused great trauma to my heart. You know that I'm a very narrow-minded person. Therefore, before we negotiate, I have to take revenge first. I definitely won't be satisfied if I don't get my revenge."
Following that, Shen Lang waved his hand, and someone helped Ying Wuque to sit up. Then, they placed his intact right hand on the table.
"Shen Lang, what are you doing? What are you doing? "Ying Wuque asked in a trembling voice.
Shen Lang took out an extremely sharp cleaver and placed it on Ying Wuque's palm. He said slowly, "Ying Wuque, this is how you threatened me back then, right?"
Ying Wuque said sternly, "Shen Lang, don't go crazy. Don't forget that Wu Tuzi is still in our hands. We can wipe out the Wu, Chu, and Yue Kingdoms anytime. If you dare to hurt me, my father … Ah … Ah … "
Before he could finish his threat, Shen Lang slashed down, and Ying Wuque's right hand became bald.
Actually, Ying Wuque didn't feel much pain. However, it was too horrifying to watch everything unfold before his eyes. He immediately let out a series of shrill cries.
Shen Lang said, "Let me tell you something. Ying Wuque, don't be so wishy-washy. If you want to do something, just do it. Don't be overcautious. Look at your posture at that time. You didn't even want to cut it. What's going on? I'm so decisive in killing and directly stomped you into a real broken palm. "
Ying Wuque roared, "Shen Lang, you're finished. You're finished! Your teacher, Wu Tuzi, will definitely suffer hellish torture. He'll definitely beg for death. Ah … Ah … "
Then, he let out another shrill cry.
This was because Shen Lang's kitchen knife had already stabbed down between his legs. There was no warning or threat. Ying Wuque had become a eunuch.
"Haven't you heard that I have another nickname? The Eunuch of the East?" Shen Lang said.
Ying Wuque's body trembled. He had actually been castrated. His great life was directly over. He had actually become a eunuch. What was the point of living like this?
"Madman, madman. Shen Lang, you're a madman …" Ying Wuque wailed.
Shen Lang said, "Brother Wuque, are you … sure you want to scold me? Do you really want to anger me? "
Ying Wuque wanted to curse and curse Shen Lang's entire clan. He wanted to make all kinds of threats and attack Shen Lang with the most venomous tone.
However … he really didn't dare to do it anymore. Shen Lang was a madman, a complete madman. There was no reasoning with a madman. Who knew, the kitchen knife might directly slash at Ying Wuque's neck in the next second.
As expected, Shen Lang placed the kitchen knife on Ying Wuque's neck and said slowly, "Ying Wuque, I remember now. Didn't you place your sword on my neck a few times to threaten me? Was it once or twice? Also, you slapped the back of my head to make me faint. Sometimes, you even slapped me twice a day. "
Ying Wuque desperately twitched and clenched his teeth.
Shen Lang asked, "Do you want to live?"
Ying Wuque desperately nodded.
"Speak. If you want to live, just speak. Who knows what you mean by nodding? Maybe you want to die?" Shen Lang said.
"I want to live, I want to live …" Ying Wuque trembled.
Shen Lang said, "Then beg me. Beg me and I will let you live."
Ying Wuque clenched his teeth and wanted to curse again. However, the sharp kitchen knife on his neck told him that Shen Lang was a madman. If he dared to curse again, his head would be separated from his neck.
"Shen Lang, I … I beg you, don't kill me, don't kill me …" Ying Wuque trembled.
Shen Lang said, "I said that you were wrong."
Ying Wuque said, "I was wrong, I was wrong."
Shen Lang said, "This is still not sincere enough. Why don't you kneel down and kowtow, cry and say that you were wrong, and then beg me to spare your dog life and not kill you?"
Ying Wuque clenched his teeth. He really wanted to rush up and knock Shen Lang to death. He wanted to die together with him.
But was he someone who would rather die than submit?
No, that was not the case.
He trembled as he used his burnt left hand to support himself on the back of the chair and stood up with difficulty. Then, he knelt down and kowtowed to the ground while trembling as he said, "Shen Lang, I was wrong. I was wrong. Please spare my worthless life. I have value. You can negotiate with my father and use me to exchange for Jinjun and Wu Tuzi. I beg you, please spare me."
Qiu Yao'er, Hila, and Princess Duo La quietly watched everything without saying a word.
Only Ying Wuque's mournful cries could be heard in the room.
Shen Lang said, "I didn't kowtow loudly enough!"
At this moment, no words could describe the humiliation Ying Wuque was feeling. Neither could he describe his regret. When Shen Lang fell into their hands, why didn't they just kill him? Otherwise, why would they be humiliated today?
How regretful, how regretful! Father, Sect Leader Ren, why didn't you listen to me? Why didn't you just chop off Shen Lang's arms and even behead him?
Even though Ying Wuque was roaring in his heart, in reality, if they could do it all over again, they still wouldn't kill Shen Lang. This was because benefits were paramount. Only Shen Lang could activate the Regret of the Dragon. Controlling Shen Lang was equivalent to controlling strategic deterrence.
Shen Lang said, "Ying Wuque, I didn't kowtow loudly enough. However, a man has gold under his knees. I understand. I would rather die than submit. I admire you for being a good man. I will be very decisive and won't let you feel any pain. "
Then, he raised the kitchen knife in his hand high.
Bam, bam, bam … Ying Wuque kowtowed desperately and wailed, "Shen Lang, spare my dog life. I will kowtow to you …"
He kowtowed more than ten times until his forehead started to bleed.
Shen Lang sighed and said, "Alright, that's enough. Ying Wuque, I can see your sincerity. You have really moved me. Very good, very good!
"But I'm sorry, I still can't let you go. Men, execute Ying Wuque by dismembering him. Tell that executioner that he has a chance to live."
Execute him by dismembering him?
Ying Wuque's entire body was shaking. His brain was about to explode.
Bastard, shameless bastard. You want me to beg for mercy, kneel, and kowtow, but you still won't let me go?
Shen Lang, you will die a horrible death. You will die a horrible death …
Just as Ying Wuque was about to curse, Hila's dagger flashed, and his tongue disappeared. He couldn't even curse if he wanted to.
Then, the executioner walked in, playing with the knife in his hand, and said slowly: "Prince Ying Wuque, the two of us will have a good time next. Please hold on a little longer, at least ten thousand cuts. Whether this old fellow can keep his face or not, it all depends on you."
Then, Ying Wuque was dragged out. He desperately howled in his heart. Shen Lang, f * ck your mother, f * ck your mother!
… …
Southern Sea's Black Rock Island Castle.
Ying Guang and Prince Lian were playing chess. For a few days, neither of them talked about the battle at Raging Tide City.
It was an allied army of a hundred thousand. Massacring Raging Tide City was already a foregone conclusion. As for capturing everyone in Paradise Manor, it would be even easier.
The crux of the matter was still how to force Shen Lang out of the ancient ruins after capturing Shen Lang's family.
Prince Lian suddenly said, "Prince Ying, you guys lost Shen Lang, right?"
Ying Guang said, "No, we didn't capture Shen Lang at all. Where did Prince Lian hear this rumor?"
Prince Lian said, "If we didn't lose Shen Lang, there would be no need to attack Raging Tide City. Our Great Yan Empire has more authority than Stupa Mountain in certain aspects. You can tell me where you lost Shen Lang. Maybe we can help you dig him out. "
Ying Guang said, "Prince Lian is thinking too much. Let's play chess!"
"Alright, I hope so." Prince Lian said, "What do you plan to do after destroying Raging Tide City? Continue attacking the Wu, Chu, and Yue Dynasties? Wipe them out in one fell swoop and erase this so-called Great Gan Dynasty from existence? "
Ying Guang said, "We destroyed Raging Tide City because Shen Lang used Dragon's Regret to destroy Huanlu City. Countless people will never be able to rest in peace if we don't destroy Raging Tide City. But we wouldn't dare to attack the Wu, Chu, and Yue Dynasties without His Majesty's decree. "
Prince Lian sneered. Ying Guang is a little Jiang Li, but Jiang Li isn't as cunning as you.
"Let's not talk about this. Let's play chess!" Prince Lian smiled.
At this moment, a series of ear-piercing bell sounds rang out from outside. Ying Guang could not help but frown.
This was Dark Castle, the entrance to the ancient ruins. Why would they need to ring the bell? Was it because of the battle at Raging Tide City? Even if they killed everyone in Raging Tide City and captured all of Shen Lang's family, it wasn't a victory. There was no need to make such a big fuss.
Outside, Wu Jue charged into Dark Castle on his snow eagle. He ignored all the rules and went straight to the most prestigious hall in the castle.
"Prince Ying, where's the headmaster?" Wu Jue asked with a trembling voice.
The headmaster of Stupa Mountain was an arrogant man. He didn't even accompany Prince Lian for the past few days and remained in the ancient ruins.
"What happened?" Ying Guang's heart skipped a beat.
Wu Jue gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground. "Prince Ying, Shen Lang is at Raging Tide City. He launched Dragon's Regret. Half of our army and the ancient fleet were destroyed. My father led 150 snow eagles and used parasite bombs to attack Raging Tide City, but the entire army was wiped out! Prince Ying Wuque and Prince Min of the Empire are all dead! "
The moment he said that, the King of the New Qian Kingdom, Ying Guang, seemed to have been struck by lightning. His majestic body could not move at all.
Prince Lian shuddered and fell back into his chair. The chess pieces in his hand fell to the ground.
