Chapter 162 Dragon King's Great Prairie

Yunmeng Daze, the surging, rapid waves, with the aid of the wind and waves, seemed to surpass even the sea.

A large number of Yunmeng Daze marines were engaged in battle with the imperial court's army.

Crisscrossing flying warships, overwhelming arcane light, and arrowheads flying like locusts repeatedly plunged into the waves, like giant blades, severing the water.

In the deeper parts of Yunmeng Daze, the battle between Jin Buyi and Yuan Meng and Yuan Jia intensified once more.

As a giant wave swept up again,

the three parties collided for the third time.

However, the process of this battle seemed strange.

It was not simply Yuan Meng and Yuan Jia besieging Jin Buyi, but the three of them attacking and restraining each other.

Yuan Jia swept his Panlong staff (coiled dragon staff) towards Jin Buyi, while Yuan Meng, while stabbing at Jin Buyi with a short sword, reached out to block Yuan Jia's Panlong staff from hitting Jin Buyi.

Jin Buyi, on the other hand, completely ignored Yuan Meng's short sword, and only slammed his short halberd fiercely at Yuan Jia.

Amidst this strange interwoven battle, the three parties moved rapidly, flying from the surface of the water to the clouds, and then falling from the clouds into the depths of the water, stirring up waves of energy in the water, making the waves on the surface even more turbulent and violent.

Yuan Jia's Panlong staff roared across the sky, carrying the dragon's roar. The powerful water vapor around him, connected to the trajectory of the formation, surged the turbulent pressure of most of Yunmeng Daze towards Jin Buyi and Yuan Meng simultaneously.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he had already displayed his full strength first.

Before Jin Buyi could make a move, Yuan Meng's short sword, with a spiritual leap, pointed out star-like sword blossoms.

These sword blossoms cleverly avoided the flaws between the formations, blocking Yuan Jia's tide-like offensive.

Bang! Bang!

The tide stirred up by Yuan Jia, torn apart by the cold sword energy, began to flow backward with a weak aftertaste.

Yuan Jia's expression became increasingly grief-stricken and painful.

Yet he still triggered the changes in the formation that had been hidden in advance.

The sword light, drawn into the formation, under the interference and impetus of this formation, and in the mutual confrontation with Yuan Jia's staff shadows, suddenly turned and simultaneously killed Jin Buyi.

At this time, Yuan Jia and Yuan Meng's attacks were already entangled together, indistinguishable from each other.

When their offensive surged towards Jin Buyi together, it looked as if the couple were cooperating, inflicting a painful blow on Jin Buyi.

Jin Buyi had experienced eyes and would not only look at the surface.

He saw that Yuan Meng was in a situation of being coerced, but revealed an unbelievable attitude.

He straightened his chest, adopting a posture of taking the blow head-on.

Yuan Meng roared and transformed into a dragon.

The azure dragon stood in front of the power of the combined attack of the two dragons.

Yuan Jia snorted coldly, feeling extremely unhappy, but still couldn't help but restrain his offensive.

He allowed most of the combined force that had been guided along the way to dissipate into the turbulent waves.

At this time, Jin Buyi turned his short halberd, and a terrifying and blazing power seemed to burn like an invisible flame, attaching to the short halberd. When it fell heavily, even the space produced a slight distortion.

This strike came straight towards Yuan Jia.

If he were struck solidly, Yuan Jia, even as a dragon with a vigorous life force, would probably find it difficult to survive tonight.

Yuan Meng also subconsciously flipped her hand and struck, wanting to help Yuan Jia bear some of the pressure.

But when Jin Buyi pushed his chest forward to fill the gap in front of Yuan Meng's attack,

Yuan Meng still held back.

Although her palm still landed on Jin Buyi's chest, the force was pitifully weak.

The resentful attack was more like flirting.

Although Jin Buyi's chest first exploded with a cloud of blood, it was only a skin injury.

A low roar came from the mouth of Yuan Jia, who had already transformed into a dragon.

Streams of energy containing the True Dragon origin spewed out from the dragon's mouth, resisting Jin Buyi's powerfully charged strike.

In the next moment, Yuan Meng's short sword, under the influence of Jin Buyi's power, stabbed towards Yuan Jia.

Although all three knew that this sword was actually launched by Jin Buyi.

But it was held in Yuan Meng's palm, and Yuan Meng did not resist or reverse this sword with all her strength.

"Let the past be the past. From now on, I will live a good life with you." Yuan Jia couldn't help but recall the scene when he and Yuan Meng were entangled together.

Now that he suddenly thought of it, he only felt ironic.

Yuan Jia shouted loudly, detonating all the mountains and rivers wrapped in the formation, turning them into a diffused and violent energy shock.

The huge waves, wrapped in this energy, turned into an extremely angry dragon head, aimed at Jin Buyi and Yuan Meng.

Within the range covered by the dragon head, Jin Buyi and Yuan Meng simply merged together.

The original contradictions and resentment seemed to be temporarily suppressed because of that skin-deep palm.

At this time, under the pressure given by Yuan Jia, they had a closer cooperation.

The great battle flew from underwater into the high sky, and the short halberd, short sword, and Panlong staff competed for brilliance in front of the huge dragon head, biting each other.

Outside the violent energy conflict was one side's complete emotional victory and the other side's complete failure.

This duel between a simp and a scumbag unexpectedly resulted in the scumbag's victory.

The three stood in the void, their bodies trembling slightly. They each felt the heavy pressure from the other.

As it stood, Yuan Jia seemed to have the upper hand, fighting two against one.

But in reality, Yuan Jia launched this wave of offensive at the cost of consuming the accumulation of the entire battlefield.

If he couldn't break through with a strong attack, he would only be left with defeat.

Could Yuan Jia achieve a victory in one fell swoop in such a battle?

Of course, it was impossible.

He still had feelings for Yuan Meng, and his anger would always suddenly fall back after burning to its peak.

And the point of this fall was when Yuan Meng stood in front of the offensive tide.

Jin Buyi had calculated all of this and had been using it all along, but Yuan Meng was happy to be used.

Suddenly, Jin Buyi, who had originally planned to launch a wave of counterattacks to directly take down Yuan Jia, retreated.

He retreated dozens of miles, almost completely disengaging from the battle circle.

He left the original battlefield to the two dragons, husband and wife, who were only left with silence and embarrassment.

Jin Buyi's gaze crossed space and fell on the distant Shenjing (Divine Capital).

The teasing that had been wandering in his eyes had now dissipated for the most part, leaving only anger.

"Ye Chuxiao! You're very good!" Jin Buyi gritted his teeth and said.

The last time he was so angry was when he learned that Ye Chuxiao had secretly reorganized the water vapor and earth vein system in the eight prefectures of Yunmeng Daze.

Just now, Ying Shu, who had been communicating with Jin Buyi through the heart pill, had proactively severed contact with Jin Buyi.

The relationship between the two parties, who had originally begun to seek cooperation, seemed to return to freezing point in an instant.

The last scene that Ying Shu conveyed to Jin Buyi was that a large number of Yuanzhi (Original Purpose) Cult disciples were beheaded by the Yi (Intent) Realm experts guarding the Ministry of Justice's dungeon, and a shell that looked almost identical to Ying Shu in appearance and figure was also hacked to death in a pool of blood.

Ye Chuxiao, who rushed over in a hurry, handed over all the power in his hands in order to protect his little brother.

A direct descendant of Jin Buyi's, a Jinzhang Butou (Gold Badge Constable), took away the management rights of the Ministry of Justice prison system from Ye Chuxiao, with a rampant and triumphant expression on his face.

Creak!

Jin Buyi gritted his posterior molars.

"Idiot, you're harming me!" Jin Buyi effortlessly deduced all the causes and consequences.

This was a trap set by Ye Chuxiao.

The purpose was to create a huge rift between the Yuanzhi Cult and Jin Buyi.

Ye Chuxiao retreated in order to advance, handing over the power in his hands, which actually had not much practical significance, in exchange for Ying Shu's suspicion of Jin Buyi, and in exchange for the endless battle between the Yuanzhi Cult and the Yinchao (Hidden Dynasty).

Even those so-called control rights over the Ministry of Justice's prison were just empty coordinates.

Ye Chuxiao had long managed the dungeon and the heavenly prison in a way that was linked to each other. It would not work to change people, and without the cooperation and endorsement of Yuan Shen, the Minister of Justice, others would not be able to play a role even if they took the position.

"Since Ying Shu has already made up her mind to temporarily part ways with me."

"Then the original plan to use the Yuanzhi Cult to counterattack Ye Chuxiao cannot continue to be implemented."

"It's a pity... I originally planned to first show weakness to the enemy, let them fight each other, and then I would come out to sweep them away and take everything."

"Now it can't be done. I have to make things bigger and expose more clues."

Thinking of this, Jin Buyi no longer paid attention to the Yunmeng Daze battlefield.

He retreated to the shore and summoned a cultivator with golden hair and snake eyes, whose dress and appearance were somewhat different from this world.

"Brian! Execute according to the second plan. I want to see the results within three days."

The golden-haired, snake-eyed cultivator nodded, saying with a strange accent, "Of course, no problem, my master."

"However, Hughes wants to take the opportunity to refine one or two demon treasures. I don't know if you allow it, master?"

Jin Buyi said, "You can refine one. Control the number of casualties. If the final death toll exceeds five million, it may affect my subsequent plans."

The golden-haired, snake-eyed cultivator said, "Yes! My master! Your will is above all else."

After saying that, the man retreated and left.

In the mountains and swamps of Yunmeng Daze, the water vapor rose even more violently.

In Shenjing, Ye Chuxiao, who had just used Ye Chuqi's identity to complete a 'bitter plan', did not have time to be happy before he felt a palpitation.

"Is something going to happen?"

"My plan is not perfect, but it hits the weaknesses of all parties. Even if there are sequelae, it should be insignificant to me."

Ye Chuxiao's expression was solemn, and he chose to review the whole matter in order to find the overlooked places.

"As far as Ying Shu is concerned, it's not that she won't suspect that I'm interfering, but as long as Jin Buyi's people take action to prevent her from successfully escaping, and this leads to a large loss of Yuanzhi Cult personnel, she won't easily reveal this matter."

"To put it more clearly, she has never had unconditional trust in Jin Buyi. As long as there is a little bit of a crack, this crack can be infinitely amplified."

"My purpose is not to win over Ying Shu, but only to destroy their alliance. This play is enough."

"After this play, the power of the Yuanzhi Cult will be greatly reduced. If the Six Doors take the opportunity to crack down severely, the Yuanzhi Cult's situation, at least in Shenjing City, will become more and more difficult."

"Only in this time of crisis can Ye Chuqi, a Yuanzhi Cult disciple who has passed the 'tribulation' test, be promoted exceptionally and entrusted with important tasks. With Ye Chuqi's identity, I can take the opportunity to peek into the Yuanzhi Cult's high-level, and use the tentacles of the Yuanzhi Cult to pry into Jin Buyi's secrets."

"The whole plan is not complicated, but it works."

"What else did I not think of?"

Ye Chuxiao frowned.

Nominally, Ye Chuxiao, who had been stripped of all his duties, was staying at home and reflecting on his mistakes.

In the pool in front of him, the water rippled, and Yuan Jia's slightly pale face appeared.

Unable to think of any reason, Ye Chuxiao stopped self-examination and instead asked Yuan Jia if Yunmeng Daze had fallen.

"Are you injured?" Ye Chuxiao asked, looking at Yuan Jia's face.

Yuan Jia shook his head bitterly, "It's not a big deal. I just consumed a lot of vitality."

Then he added, "Yunmeng Daze has not fallen. However, the situation was not optimistic. Jin Buyi retreated temporarily before breaking the formation for some reason."

"I suspect he has other conspiracies."

Now Yuan Jia was speculating about Jin Buyi with the greatest malice.

He did not understand why his wife, who had been with him for many years, would choose to abandon him and get involved with Jin Buyi.

Could it be that betrayal... really has inertia?

The top of the Yunmeng Daze Dragon King's head was destined to be a large prairie?

"Is there any change in the water vapor in the eight prefectures?" Ye Chuxiao thought for a while and asked.

"There is no change. The scouts I arranged to go ashore reported that the people from the Ministry of Works who were arranging formations and refining equipment are all still laying and constructing the structure in an orderly manner. There is no problem," Yuan Jia said.

Ye Chuxiao nodded.

When he envisioned this system, he had considered the possibility of it being destroyed artificially.

Therefore, as long as the core node he hid was unharmed, even if some of the other trivial branches were destroyed, it would not affect the overall use.

Moreover, the entire system, under the action of natural water vapor and earth veins, could be naturally repaired over time, as long as it was not completely destroyed on a large scale at one time.

This further guaranteed that this system was not a temporary transition, but could be relied upon for a long time.

Suddenly, an idea 'knocked' strongly, seemingly wanting to talk to Ye Chuxiao.

Ye Chuxiao let go of a trace of his defenses and allowed this idea to project itself.

Across the space, Ye Chuxiao seemed to see Jin Buyi again, and even switched to his perspective.

"Ye Chuxiao! You should have felt it already!"

"You are about to be in great trouble!" Jin Buyi said.

Ye Chuxiao did not question, but instead used Jin Buyi's perspective to look around three hundred and sixty degrees.

When he saw the vast, thick, and immeasurable black clouds deposited in the north, the strands of unease in his heart had a landing point.

"Such a large accumulation of water vapor, when it falls, can instantly turn most of a prefecture into a swamp."

"Jin Buyi... these are also your people. How can you bear it?" Ye Chuxiao couldn't help but question.

Jin Buyi laughed, "Looking at the life and death of all beings from the perspective of mortals will never allow one to become an immortal."

"Ye Chuxiao, do you know when you revealed your flaws?"

"It was when you could have let the Yunmeng Daze flood the eight prefectures and easily destroyed my overall plan, but you deliberately made so many complicated things. When you set up this so-called three-in-one device formation diagram, the flaws were already inescapable in my eyes."

"You want to calculate me, but you are tied down by these vulgar rights and wrongs and conscience, dragging your feet and losing your swiftness."

"And I only need to use a little trick, on top of your formation, without destroying it, without doing subtraction... but doing addition, and all your construction will be in vain."

"When the eight prefectures are all turned into swamps, everything will return to the origin, and the Yunmeng Daze aquatic race will be reactivated."

"The geographical environment of the eight prefectures will also be gradually restored. You are just doing useless work."

"But you are sacrificing the lives of countless creatures."

"Ye Chuxiao! Can you continue to walk like this?"

"Bearing the sin of the death of countless creatures, are you still going to fight against me?" Jin Buyi asked loudly, as if he was holding the scales of justice in his hands.
