Princess Ji Xuan looked at Shen Lang's shameless face. She wiped the blood from the corner of her lips. Naturally, it was not because she vomited blood. When she self-detonated the Super Dragon Powers, she lost quite a bit of blood. Some of it splattered on her face.
'Shen Lang, you're really full of schemes.'
She could not imagine where Shen Lang could hide the Super Dragon's Remorse.
The signal transmission between the Super Dragon Powers and the Dragon's Remorse could penetrate any obstacle.
Why did the remaining Dragon's Remorse not explode?
However, it was meaningless no matter how unwilling Princess Ji Xuan was.
Her final trump card had failed. She had lost this battle.
She watched helplessly as the countdown timer on the horizon disappeared.
At the same time, the rest of the flying snakes darted toward the other Super Dragon Power launchers.
Crack, crack, crack, crack …
The flying snakes spat lightning with all their might.
The mutated flying beasts carrying the Super Dragon Powers launchers roared. Smoke began to rise from their bodies before they fell from the sky.
One body, two bodies, three bodies, four bodies …
The remaining 12 Super Dragon Powers launchers were shrouded in black mist and fell into the sea.
Bang, bang, bang, bang …
The instant they crashed into the sea, huge waves surged.
… …
Princess Ji Xuan returned to the sky above Raging Tide City again. 'You're strong, you're awesome.'
Shen Lang said, "Your Highness, go back and tell this grievous news to Great Yan's Crown Prince. I hope he's broad-minded and won't vomit blood."
Princess Ji Xuan ignored him. Instead, she shouted, "Is a prince from the Lost Empire really not coming out to meet us?"
The surface of the sea was silent. The Lost Demon Mother seemed to have left.
Shen Lang said, "Prince Lian, I welcome you to Qian Capital. We'll negotiate a truce."
The new Prince Lian ignored Shen Lang as well.
Princess Ji Xuan looked at Shen Lang and said slowly, "The Jiang Family once betrayed the human empire and colluded with the demons from the Lost Empire. That was the case in the ancient world, and it's still the case now. What right do you have to fight for the throne with the Ji Family?"
Shen Lang said, "Ji Xuan, you can't do this. You can't be jealous of Queen Medusa and slander her just because she is more beautiful than you."
Then, Shen Lang said seriously, "Ji Xuan, go back and tell the Crown Prince of Great Yan. I want peace, not war, so let's find a time to sit down and talk about it. He has lost this battle. Therefore, the Great Yan Dynasty must acknowledge the existence of the Great Qian Empire. I look forward to both of us finding a third region and completely delineating the eastern world's territory. The north will belong to the Great Yan while the south will belong to the Great Qian Empire. Our two empires will mind our own business. "
Princess Ji Xuan said faintly, "Shen Lang, if the Great Yan Empire wins this battle and razes the Raging Tide City to the ground, that would be the best outcome for you, because the Great Yan Empire's reputation will be preserved. But now … Yan Capital has lost all its dignity. We have no other choice but to use other methods, more extreme methods, to regain our dignity. "
"Goodbye, Your Majesty Shenlang!"
Princess Ji Xuan, Prince Lian, Eldest Princess Ji, and the others left on the Ultrasonic Flying Beasts.
It was not that Shen Lang did not want to keep them, but he really could not. Especially Princess Ji Xuan, her martial arts were too powerful.
… …
After Princess Ji Xuan left, Shen Lang ordered, "Salvage the Ultrasonic Flying Beasts!"
These were all treasures. Please don't die, please don't die!
There were also twelve Super Dragon Power Launchers. After being attacked by the Flying Snake Legion, they fell from the sky and smashed into the sea.
They fell from a height of nineteen thousand meters. Throughout the entire process, thousands of flying snakes desperately held them up.
They fell from a height of nineteen thousand meters. Logically speaking, they should have been smashed into pieces.
However, that was not the case. At the critical moment, thousands of flying snakes entangled these Super Dragon Power Launchers and slowly let them fall into the sea.
Therefore, they were still intact.
This time, they really struck it rich. One Super Dragon's Regret exploded, but there were still fifty-one left.
One Super Dragon Power Launcher was destroyed, and there were still twelve left.
The strategic balance that Shen Lang dreamed of was about to arrive.
"Up, up, up …"
With a series of orders, the Flying Snake Legion dragged the Ultrasonic Flying Beasts back to the ground one after another and locked them in the large iron cages that Shen Lang had prepared.
This time, the Great Yan Empire sent a thousand Ultrasonic Flying Beasts. In the end, there were still nearly a hundred of them. Shen Lang only captured 931 of them. However, if all of them could be saved and successfully modified, then they would really strike it rich. Shen Lang would suddenly have a top-notch air force.
After an entire day!
These more than nine hundred Ultrasonic Flying Beasts and twelve Super Dragon Power Launchers were all transported back to Raging Tide City.
Not only that, even forty-eight mutated Ultrasonic Giant Beasts were dragged back to the ground from the sea.
… …
There was no time to celebrate victory.
Just like what Princess Ji Xuan said, the Great Yan Empire was the ruler of the world. This failure to destroy Raging Tide City would cause huge political consequences.
Therefore, Yan Capital would think of all ways to restore the empire's dignity. Otherwise, the vassal states of the Great Yan Empire would have disloyal thoughts. Otherwise, the other states would suspect that the Great Yan Empire was on the verge of collapse. They couldn't even destroy Raging Tide City.
This time, it was as though Shen Lang had given Yan Capital a tight slap in the face.
If they wanted to restore their dignity, Yan Capital had to break one of Shen Lang's arms, or even worse.
In the past, the Great Yan Empire couldn't destroy Qian Capital, Wu Chu, and Yue Kingdom because it was a celestial empire. These countries were once its vassal states, and the people of these countries were also the citizens of the Great Yan Empire.
However, now that Great Yan was slapped by Shen Lang, they couldn't care less.
Yan Capital would definitely not let this go. They would definitely carry out the cruelest revenge, and their target should be Qian Capital.
Therefore, Shen Lang didn't have much time.
If they wanted to stop Yan Capital's revenge, they had to regain the strategic balance. They had to have a huge strategic deterrent to Yan Capital.
Therefore, the resurrected legion of flying supersonic beasts had to be modified immediately.
As for the Super Draconic Power launcher, it had to be repaired immediately.
… …
Yan Capital!
Princess Ji Xuan entered the great hall. Great Yan's Crown Prince was studying an ancient scroll. He needed to devote himself to it.
Ji Xuan stood there, waiting quietly.
After a while, Great Yan's Crown Prince opened his eyes and said, "You're back? Thank you for your hard work. "
Princess Ji Xuan knelt on one knee and said, "Brother, we lost."
Great Yan's Crown Prince's hands trembled. Lost? How was that possible?
The intelligence work on Raging Tide City had been done to the extreme. Shen Lang had no army that could resist the legion of flying supersonic beasts.
Although the fact that Shen Lang could intercept the Super Dragon's Regret was shocking, Yan Capital had expected it and responded immediately. Why did they lose?
Princess Ji Xuan said, "The most extreme thing happened. Shen Lang was indeed able to intercept the Super Dragon's Regret. Moreover, he did so with his own strength. The special equipment and abilities recorded in the ancient records were all on him."
Great Yan's Crown Prince's face twitched slightly.
Princess Ji Xuan said, "Of course, even so, we could have achieved a complete victory. The key is that Shen Lang colluded with the descendants of the Lost Empire in the West and received support from the Lost Empire's army of sea demons. Caught off guard, our legion of flying supersonic beasts and the Snow Eagle Army were completely annihilated. This is the battle report.
"At the last moment, I tried to detonate the super Remorse of the Dragon that Shen Lang had hidden from afar, but all of them failed. He had hidden all the Remorse of the Dragon in a very special place, a place with an absolute energy barrier."
Great Yan's Crown Prince received the battle report and read it carefully, over and over again.
It was a heart-wrenching pain.
They had lost 52 Super Dragon's Regret, 1,000 flying supersonic beasts, and 10,000 Snow Eagles.
Ying Guang, Stupa Mountain, and Shen Lang had fought for a few years, but they had never suffered such losses.
However, Great Yan's Crown Prince did not care about these things. The greatest loss this time was Great Yan's dignity.
Shen Lang felt like a slap to his face. It was a slap to Yan Capital's face.
How would public opinion develop next?
Not long ago, Yan Capital had completely wiped Stupa Mountain and Dark Castle from the face of the world. They had shocked the world and established supreme authority, declaring that Yan Capital was supreme and inviolable.
However, with this defeat, the authority that they had painstakingly built up as the overlord was gone.
There was a balance in the hearts of the nations and the people of the world.
In everyone's hearts, although Shen Lang's Great Qian Empire had repeatedly created miracles, it was still weak compared to the Great Yan Empire. The eastern orthodoxy was still the Great Yan Dynasty.
However, the balance was slowly slipping in the Great Qian Empire's favor.
"This man is truly omnipotent. Amazing, amazing." Great Yan's Crown Prince clenched his fists and stopped trembling.
"A few years ago, Ying Wuming represented Stupa Mountain at the transcendental forces' meeting. It was a slap to my face," Great Yan's Crown Prince said, "That's why Stupa Mountain was wiped out. This time, Shen Lang's slap was even more intense. The entire world seemed to be able to hear this crisp sound! How many people will be celebrating? How many people will be shouting 'Long live Shen Lang'? How many people will be secretly wondering if the Great Yan Empire is no longer supreme and invincible? "
Princess Ji Xuan said, "Father, can you come out of seclusion? Once he comes out of seclusion, he will be like a blazing sun. All of the darkness, all of the demons and monsters will be annihilated. "
Great Yan's Crown Prince shook his head and said, "If I have to come out of seclusion for this matter, I'm not qualified to inherit the Great Yan Empire."
Then, Great Yan's Crown Prince sat down and said slowly, "Summon the officials for a small meeting."
… …
Two hours later.
An emergency meeting was being held in the great hall of the Flame Capital's palace. There were only a few dozen people present. However, they were all important officials of the Great Yan Empire. There were also representatives from the Heaven Piercing Temple and the Heaven Punishing Pavilion.
Great Yan's Crown Prince said, "We lost the battle at Raging Tide City."
The hall was silent because the important officials already knew about it.
Great Yan's Crown Prince said, "Ji Xuan, read the entire battle to the officials."
"Understood!" Ji Xuan said.
Then, she read the battle report that was thousands of words without missing a single word.
Great Yan's Crown Prince said, "My ministers, what should we do next? Shen Lang wants to negotiate with the Flame Capital. He wants me to acknowledge his Great Qian Empire. Moreover, he wants to divide our territories. The north belongs to Great Yan, and the south belongs to Great Qian. He even wants to be on equal footing with Great Yan. "
"How preposterous!"
"Shen Lang has no sense of shame. He doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth."
The officials of the Great Yan Empire snorted angrily.
"Your Highness, we should take the initiative to attack public opinion and eliminate the negative impact of the defeat at Raging Tide City."
"If necessary, we can invite the White Jade Capital's envoy to visit the Flame Capital."
"We can secretly plot internal strife in China …"
The officials suggested. However, they knew very well that it was pointless. This was because the Great Yan Empire had no choice. However, this decision was too big. They could only let Great Yan's Crown Prince make the decision.
Great Yan's Crown Prince raised his right hand and said slowly, "Shen Lang wants to negotiate? Dream on. "
"The Great Yan Empire's dignity is inviolable."
"Pass down my decree. Gather a million soldiers and attack China. Invade Qian Capital."
"Sweep through China's one million square kilometers with lightning speed. Kill every traitor who dares to resist the Great Yan Empire."
"Use bloody facts to tell the other countries that the Great Yan Empire is still the ruler of the world!"
Great Yan's Crown Prince's voice was like thunder. It resounded in the great hall and reverberated.
"Yes, Your Highness!" The officials kneeled and kowtowed.
Prince Lian said, "Your Highness, after we conquer China, are we going to make it the Great Ying Kingdom, or …"
Great Yan's Crown Prince said, "Make it the Great Yan Empire's territory. Kill anyone who dares to disobey. If killing one million is not enough, kill two million, three million … "
"In short, the Ji Clan is going to take over the land that the Jiang Clan has ruled for centuries."
"Shen Lang slapped someone in the Flame Capital. I'm going to chop his body in half and cut him in half."
As the Flame Capital's decree was issued, the entire Great Yan Empire and the entire world trembled.
China, Wu, Chu, and Yue Nation did not even have time to celebrate their victory. They were already in a state of panic.
The citizens of China were scared out of their wits. Was the scene from more than 30 years ago going to happen again? Were a million soldiers going to invade China to burn, kill, and plunder? Were corpses and blood going to flow like rivers again?
If that was the case, they would rather not win the Battle of Wrath Tide City.
… …
Shen Lang was not prepared for a decisive battle with the Flame Capital because his strength was too weak compared to the Great Yan Empire.
Although the Great Yan Empire had failed in their attempt to destroy Raging Tide City, they had displayed astonishing strength.
The super long-range strategic strike easily launched 52 Super Regret of the Dragon.
They sent out 1,000 powerful flying beasts with supersonic speed. The Snow Eagle Army numbered in the tens of thousands.
Shen Lang had Hellfire shells, but the Nightmare Stone bombs of the Flame Capital were more powerful.
Most importantly, the Flying Snake Army of the Lost Empire could protect Wrath Tide City, but they could not protect the Qian Capital. This was because they could not leave the sea and could not go deep into the land.
Therefore, although the Lost Empire of Queen Medusa kept winning, they could not occupy any surface cities of the Ancient Eastern Empire. This was because she belonged to the Ocean Empire. Half of the Lost Empire's cities were under the sea.
No army of the Lost Empire could leave the sea.
Although the Super Self-Destructing Jellyfish could fly into the sky, it was still a jellyfish. The Flying Snake Army was more like a powerful electric eel. They were all marine creatures.
Moreover, there might be a giant dragon in the Forbidden Tower in the Great Yan Imperial Palace, and the Great Yan Emperor who had not come out for a few years.
Therefore, there was no next war in Shen Lang's plan.
After stopping the Great Yan Empire from destroying Wrath Tide City, he would sign a truce with the Flame Capital and force them to acknowledge the existence of the Great Qian Empire.
There would be no continuous wars in the future. There would only be one decisive battle.
Once the Great Qian Empire's scientific civilization and ancient civilization had truly achieved nirvana, when the Great Qian Empire's new army had reached five hundred thousand, and most importantly … Shen Lang had found the dragon that his father, Jiang Li, had left behind for him.
When that time came, he would attack the Flame Capital and fight to the death with the Great Yan Emperor.
Therefore, now, he had to force the Flame Capital to admit defeat and sign a truce. They would acknowledge the existence of the Great Qian Empire and its 4.5 million square kilometers of territory.
Therefore, he needed to balance the situation.
… …
After the battle of Wrath Tide City ended, Shen Lang did not rest for even a minute. He desperately tried to repair the Super Dragon Power he obtained.
As long as he had the ability to deal a strategic blow to the Great Yan Empire, the Flame Capital would obediently return to the negotiating table and admit defeat. Otherwise, it would expand the war until victory.
The Super Dragon Power that he obtained did not cause too much damage, so Shen Lang quickly repaired one of them.
However … he realized that he did not have the authority. Even with the Ancient King's Ring, he did not have the authority to fire it.
Next, he went to the Ancient Prison and took out a Super Dragon's Regret and placed it on the Raging Tide City's Dragon Power firing device.
Then, he realized that it could not be fired!
Moreover, Shen Lang could not activate this Super Regret of the Dragon.
This, this was fatal!
A very bad situation had occurred. The Jiang Clan's Regret of the Dragon was different from the Ji Clan's.
As the Jiang Clan's Shen Lang, he did not have the authority to fire the Super Dragon's Regret, nor could he detonate it.
This, this was fatal.
This meant that he had obtained these strategic weapons for nothing. This meant that Shen Lang still could not deal a strategic blow to the Great Yan Empire.
If that was the case, he would not be able to stop the Flame Capital's revenge.
… …
In the Flame Capital Palace …
"Palace, how far will the battle go?" Princess Ji Xuan asked.
Great Yan's Crown Prince said, "Charge into the capital and occupy the entire country."
Princess Ji Xuan said, "What about the Wu, Chu, and Yue Kingdoms?"
Great Yan's Crown Prince said calmly, "In a year, Father will come out of seclusion. When that time comes, Wrath Tide City, Shen Lang, the Lost Empire, and the Devil's Triangle will all be gone."
Princess Ji Xuan said, "I understand."
Great Yan's Crown Prince said, "Also, the million-strong army attacking China is only in name. It will take too long to gather a million-strong army. "Gather the Tongtian Temple and Execution Pavilion's secret army, the Great Yan Empire's secret army, 20,000 snow eagles, and 3,000 supersonic flying beasts. All of them must be gathered in half a month. Within 20 days, charge into the country, and occupy the capital within a month.
"We must take down the capital with a thunderous momentum. Only then can we shock the world and offset our loss in the Wrath Tide City battle."
Princess Ji Xuan said, "Can Shen Lang use our Super Dragon's Power and Regret of the Super Dragon? If he can, the consequences will be unimaginable. This means that he can deal a strategic blow to the Great Yan Empire at any time and any place. "
Great Yan's Crown Prince said calmly, "Impossible!"
It was indeed impossible. The Great Yan Empire had seized countless ancient Jiang Clan's Regret of the Dragon. The Zhu Clan's secret base was only a small part of it.
Flame Capital had spent more than a decade and still could not crack the Jiang Clan's Regret of the Dragon. Even Little Princess Ji Ning's help was useless. This was because the activation of the Regret of the Dragon required not only bloodline authority but also willpower.
Great Yan's Crown Prince said, "There are only two types of Regret of the Dragon in the eastern world. The ancient Ji Clan's Regret of the Dragon and the ancient Jiang Clan's Regret of the Dragon. "Since seventeen years ago, we have been trying to crack the Jiang Clan's Regret of the Dragon. We have used more than three thousand scholars and tried everything, but all of them have failed. We have spent seventeen years and still could not crack it. Shen Lang only has a few days. Can he really crack the Ji Clan's Regret of the Dragon? "
"Within a month, we will invade the capital, occupy the country, and kill a million of them. The Great Yan Empire's prestige as the overlord will be preserved."
… …
Over at the Great Yan Empire's side, millions of soldiers were gathering. This was just a show for the world.
The ones who were gathering quickly were the Punishing Sky Pavilion, the Tongtian Temple, and the Great Yan Empire's secret army. The total number would not exceed two hundred and fifty thousand.
However, among these two hundred and fifty thousand soldiers, more than fifty thousand were aerial soldiers.
Especially the Great Yan Empire's secret army, which carried all kinds of secret weapons of the ancient Ji Clan.
Just the army of three thousand flying beasts with supersonic speed was completely undefeatable.
Even if the Great Qian Empire tried its best, it would not be able to stop Flame Capital's attack.
The only hope was for Shen Lang to crack the Ji Clan's Regret of the Dragon.
Once it was done, all of Flame Capital's attacks would be for naught. All of their revenge would be empty talk, and all of their plans would be ruined. They could only swallow the bitter fruit of their defeat at the Raging Tide City.
However, the Great Yan Crown Prince was right. Flame Capital had spent a whole seventeen years and still could not crack the Jiang Clan's Regret of the Dragon.
The time left for Shen Lang would not exceed twenty days.
To protect the fruits of victory, to protect Qian Capital, to protect the Great Qian Empire's prestige, and to give Flame Capital another slap in the face, Shen Lang had to create another miracle.
Although this miracle did not seem as magnificent, it was much more important than winning the Raging Tide City. It had a much deeper meaning.
As long as he cracked the Ji Clan's Regret of the Dragon, the Great Yan Empire would not be able to invade any inch of the Great Qian Empire's territory for a long time to come.
… …
For the next few days and nights, Shen Lang was in the Ancient Prison, using all of his wits to crack the Ji Clan's Regret of the Dragon.
It was too difficult!
Shen Lang tried all sorts of methods, but all of them failed.
He could not find any answers in all the ancient books.
He pinned his hopes on the ancient scroll left behind by the ancient king of the Jiang Clan, but to no avail.
However, this seemed to be normal. It was obviously impossible to use the Jiang Clan's civilization to crack the Ji Clan's strategic weapon.
It was like trying to use the Soviet Union's code to crack the American nuclear bomb. How was that possible?
Then, Shen Lang sighed again. He had gone to the Lost Nation's pyramid ruins too early.
Understanding the dragon could crack everything, including the Ji Clan's Regret of the Dragon.
However, the difficulty of understanding the dragon was far greater than cracking the Ji Clan's Regret of the Dragon. It was not a strategic weapon at all.
To put it more bluntly, if he completed the dragon's understanding, he would be able to create the Dragon's Regret. Not only that, but he would also be able to control the ancient dragon, and so on. It was almost as if he had mastered the highest power in this world.
Shen Lang even suspected that the Emperor of Great Yan had gone into seclusion in the Tower of Taboo a few years ago to understand the dragon.
If he understood it earlier than Shen Lang, the consequences would be disastrous. It would be equivalent to him mastering the ultimate power of this world first.
Shen Lang sat cross-legged in the first cell, facing Crown Prince Jiang Xie as if he wanted to gain some wisdom from him.
'Ancestor Jiang Xie, you are the smartest person in the ancient Jiang Clan. Please give me some inspiration.'
… …
Time passed day by day.
Shen Lang still had no idea how to crack the Ji Clan's Regret of the Dragon. He made no progress.
What the hell was this? He had thought that the so-called Dragon's Regret was just an ancient strategic killing weapon that could be used easily. Who knew that it was divided into different systems?
Meanwhile, in the Flame Capital, a powerful secret army was quickly assembling.
Five days, ten days … 13 days passed.
The Great Yan Empire's 250,000 secret army was about to finish assembling and would soon invade China. It was unstoppable.
Shen Lang took the time to talk to the Lost Demon Mother for an hour.
In the end, she was completely sure that neither the Flying Snake Army nor the super jellyfish could go deep into the land or leave the ocean.
The Lost Demon Mother said, "Your Majesty Shen Lang, you said to borrow the army for a month, but … we will help you to protect Fury Tide City from invasion for the rest of the time. As for the war on land, we can't do anything."
Then, the Lost Demon Mother said, "Also, Your Majesty Shen Lang, I advise you … to give up on saving China and Qian Capital. Go and accomplish your ultimate goal. Otherwise, you will fall behind the Ji Clan. I can feel that a powerful force is quickly gathering in the far northwest. If the Ji Clan succeeds, then the Jiang Clan will lose their chance forever, and the Lost Empire will be completely finished."
There was too much information in that sentence.
Shen Lang nodded. He understood what the Lost Demon Mother said.
She wanted him to give up everything, disregard the life and death of Qian Capital, and immediately pursue the ultimate power and prepare for the final battle with the Great Yan Emperor.
However, if he gave up Qian Capital and allowed the Great Yan Empire to invade China and occupy Qian Capital, then Shen Lang's backbone would be broken. Absolutely not!
… …
Shen Lang entered the ancient prison again and arrived in front of Prince Jiang Xie's fossil.
There must be a way to crack the Ji Clan's Regret of Dragon. There must be a way.
As long as he cracked it, the predicament in front of him would immediately be solved, and this battle would be a real victory.
Not only that, as long as he cracked the Ji Clan's Regret of Dragon, then he would also be able to deal a devastating blow to the Ji Clan in terms of strategic confidence.
There must be a way, and he must think of it from a higher strategic point of view. He couldn't use the Jiang Clan's thinking to crack it.
A higher direction than the ancient Jiang Clan and the ancient Ji Clan.
What could be more supreme than these two royal families?
Suddenly, Shen Lang found an inspiration.
An inspiration from beyond the heavens.
Yes, yes, he found it!
