Chapter 2722 The Connection Between the Two Forces
Although there is a fairy demon on the plains, Qing Shu Di Jun usually doesn't get involved in things like taking charge of the overall situation.
After saying that, Ling Jinbao jumped onto the back of the big bird.
The white stork flapped its wings a few times, soared into the sky, and headed southeast.
He had barely left when Immortal Mingke arrived.
Bao Chihai explained the unexpected incident, and then asked, "Should we awaken Mother Earth and leave immediately?"
He is the leader of the night patrol gods in Panlong Ancient City and is also responsible for protection.
“The most important thing right now is to distinguish friend from foe. Let’s wait for Brother Ling’s feedback first.” Immortal Mingke pondered for a moment. “Earth Mother expends a huge amount of energy every time she goes to the surface. If the enemy is weak, we don’t need to wake her up.”
That made sense, so Bao Chihai said no more. They followed Mother Earth across the four seas, encountering many unexpected events along the way. If they relied on Mother Earth to solve everything every time, what would be the point of having immortals, armies, and night-roaming gods?
Immortal Mingke added, "As a last resort, we can also contact the Great Emperor."
"That's right!" Bao Chihai breathed a sigh of relief. "Exactly!"
He felt at ease whenever he thought of the Emperor.
A moment later, Ling Jinbao's voice rang in their ears:
"Indeed, two armies are heading towards Kunlonghu. The army in the lead is the Baling army, and the army in pursuit is the Shen army. Both armies have powerful figures in them. Hmm, I saw them briefly exchange blows."
They all wore the crouching beasts from Panlong Ancient City. These were decorations on the roof ridges of buildings, often arranged in a row from large to small. Ling Jinbao wore the smallest one, which was only the size of his little finger.
Their function is to allow people to communicate over long distances, regardless of whether they are inside or outside the barrier.
Shen Jun is chasing Baling Jun? The two exchanged a glance, both feeling that this was a bit of a tricky question.
They're fighting to the death, how can they stop them?
If our side takes action, will it provoke attacks from both sides?
"Wait a minute, I see the general's flag! It has a huge 'He' character!" Ling Jinbao's voice was full of surprise. "It shares the same surname as the Emperor. Could it be that a member of his family is leading troops?"
The Emperor's family? Father or brothers?
Then it wouldn't be appropriate to intercept them without considering the consequences. Besides, these are several thousand elite cavalrymen brimming with Yuan energy.
Immortal Mingke became even more cautious: "To be on the safe side, you should go down and say hello."
"Right on my mind."
……
He Yue chased after the Baling army at breakneck speed, secretly anxious.
No matter how fast his own army galloped, they still couldn't catch up with the enemy. His team included a celestial bird and more than twenty sorcerers who tried to capture Zhao Shuo by flying through the air several times, but Zhao Shuo also had capable people around him who intervened at critical moments.
If the Baling Army were to escape into the Kunlongmu Pass, both sides would be playing hide-and-seek in the forest where supplies were scarce. The difficulty of his personal revenge would increase several times over.
The shadowy figures of birds could always be seen high in the sky, some from Baling and others from Shen Kingdom.
Just then, he saw a large white bird descend, but it did not land. It circled about five or six zhang above Shen Jun.
There's someone on the bird's back!
Are there any other sects around here?
In the Shen army, a dozen archers automatically drew their bows and aimed at the large bird. Seeing this, the Shen Kingdom's mythical bird also flew back to stand guard, standing two body lengths taller than the white bird. It was a gigantic black eagle, with only its wings tinged with gray.
He Yue frowned, about to speak, but the other party asked first:
"Please state your name upon arrival to avoid any misunderstanding."
His voice, transmitted directly to He Yue's ears through his supernatural powers, remained condensed and undiminished.
He Yue continued galloping, exhaling as he spoke: "Crown Prince He Yue of Shen Kingdom, pursuing the defeated general of Baling! And who are you?"
The Emperor's own brother? After a few moments of silence, the person above spoke:
"I am the Immortal Cangyan, the Daoist Lingshui!"
Ling Jinbao knew, of course, that the Emperor had a younger brother, Crown Prince He Yue of the Shen Kingdom. Although they lived far apart, the two brothers had a deep and abiding affection for each other. Every so often, Cangyan and the Shen Kingdom would exchange envoys.
When Shen and Baling went to war, Cang Yan gave away special weapons at half price.
As for the general in front of him claiming to be He Yue, Ling Jinbao didn't doubt it, because he did indeed look somewhat similar to He Lingchuan.
He Yue was greatly surprised, forgetting to crack his whip: "Cang Yan?!"
He never expected that he would encounter Cang Yan's guest at this time and place.
After the initial surprise, He Yue immediately shouted:
"Zhao Shuo, the defeated general of Baling ahead, is the man who killed my son! Could Daoist Lingshui lend me a hand?"
Huh? Now it was Ling Jinbao's turn to be stunned.
The enemy who killed his son?
He Yue's son was killed by the Baling people? When did this happen?
For the past two months, he had been stationed on the Earth Mother Plain, constantly traversing underground, unaware of these events unfolding outside. Furthermore, He Lingchuan wouldn't proactively mention it to Immortal Ming Ke or the others. Therefore, this information gap left Ling Jinbao utterly defenseless.
He Yue thought he wanted to confirm his identity, so he raised his hand and showed his talisman.
The gold medal gleamed red, and a large character "贺" (congratulations) was displayed on it.
Ling Jinbao glanced at it twice, then quickly informed Immortal Mingke, and then asked him:
"Should I help or not? I think I should."
Immortal Mingke was also taken aback. After pondering for a moment, he said, "I will report this to the Great Emperor!"
Since it involves He Yue, Baling, and the Earth Mother, it's not something these immortals can decide on their own; they also need to consult the Nine Nether Emperor.
Immortal Mingke had also heard some rumors that the Great Emperor had some past grievances with his biological father. This was not surprising, as in the imperial family, familial affection between father and son usually took precedence over personal interests. Furthermore, Jiuyou had traveled thousands of miles to expand his territory, indicating that he was not doing well in his homeland, so these rumors were not entirely unfounded.
But whether it's true or not, the fact that He Yue's son, who is also the Emperor's nephew, was murdered makes Ming Ke Xianren believe that the Emperor might want his side to participate in the capture of the murderer.
He quickly entered the Panlong Secret Realm, rushed to the edge of the Blessed Spring, untied the crouching beast from his waist, and gently paddled it in the spring water while softly chanting:
"This matter is of great importance. I request permission to speak with the master of the secret realm."
Between the Panlong Secret Realm and its master He Lingchuan, there exists an invisible door, and the crouching beast from the Panlong Ancient City is a small stepping stone to that door.
It cannot open the door, but it can initiate a conversation with the owner of the secret realm.
Normally, after the ripples disappear, the water no longer reflects the sky above, but instead reveals the scene of the Nine Nether Emperor or the Imperial Study.
But this time the pool water is just pool water; no matter how much he stirs it, it doesn't change at all.
If the emperor is busy, such as meeting with court officials or discussing important matters, he will not answer immediately, but will usually reply afterward.
Emperor Cangyan was certainly very busy and couldn't possibly be constantly guarding the secret realm waiting for a call.
However, what to do about this urgent matter outside the Dragon-Trapping Ridge? Immortal Mingke thought for a moment and decided to settle for second best and ask someone else.
