Don’t try to escape?
As Dragon Girl stared at Feng Qing’an, who had the Seal of Ocean Suppression
in his left hand and the Thunder Sea Halberd in his right, she pondered for just a moment before making what she thought was the most sensible decision.
Run!
This wasn’t a brutal battle, and her Xunfeng Sword could control the wind. Though she felt somewhat humiliated to use it in fleeing under her current master, safeguarding her life was the priority.
She had been living in fear and unease, finally escaped from the Dragon Palace, and was free to roam between heaven and earth. Even the shadow that had always been hanging over her head had vanished. She wasn’t willing to fall here!
As for the claim from the human boy in front of her that he wouldn’t kill her, she didn’t take it seriously. She knew very well the maxim “He who rules, meat is grass.”
She had seen the shining qualities of humans, but she had also witnessed their evil nature, even worse than malevolent spirits.
She would never entrust her life to a total stranger from the Human Race, especially one who seemed to take a keen interest in slaughtering dragons.
Therefore, right as Feng Qing’an finished speaking, the Dragon Girl vanished, leaving only the fierce wind whirling about in the sky and clouds rising and falling like raging waves.
Feng Qing’an fell silent. Ming Dragon looked up at him, emitting a confused chirp,
Chirp
Not going to chase after her?
“Can you catch up with her?”
Feng Qing’an looked at the slightly empty sky, lowered his head and looked at Ming Dragon, the little guy was taken aback and then shook his head truthfully. It definitely couldn’t catch up at this speed.
Chirp-
Just let her go then?
“Let her go? You’re joking, if she leaves, who’s going to fill the River Water Monarch’s position!”
Feng Qing’an chuckled. Chirp
Then what should we do?
Ming Dragon was a little confused, not intending to chase, yet not willing to let her go. What was he planning?
“How could you not get it? Can’t you sense her presence? If she insists on using the power of the divine weapon to escape, so be it. But she will have to stop eventually, and when that time comes, we will catch up!”
Once Feng Qing’an possessed two divine weapons, he discovered a shared attribute they all held.
Each divine weapon possesses immense power, but to wield such power demands a great price, especially for those whose abilities don’t match the weapon’s power.
Hongxi, still a Monarch then, had trouble wielding the Thunder Sea Halberd, let alone fully bringing out the weapon’s power. He was even controlled by the weapon in the end.
As for Wave River, Feng Qing’an did not even give him a chance to express himself and beheaded him with a single stroke. However, through the Seal of the Ocean Suppression, Feng Qing’an also learned the energy depletion of using divine weapons.
Ordinary Monarchs can’t fully harness the power of divine weapons, let alone a dragon girl of the lower demon clan. The energy expenditure of the Sundering Sea Sword and these two divine weapons of the same origin are not much different, it couldn’t be lesser.
This feature applies to any high-ranked magical divine weapon. But the key was the connection and induction between divine weapons of the same origin.
Feng Qing’an had figured it all out.
This sensation seemed to have a certain relationship with the number of divine weapons one owns. Within a certain distance, Feng Qing’an and the Dragon Girl could sense each other, but when the distance is enlarged, Feng Qing’an, who owns two divine weapons, could still sense the Dragon Girl’s location, but the Dragon Girl had no idea of Feng Qing’an’s existence.
This is what Feng Qing’an had recently discovered. Once someone possesses two different divine weapons, it seems that they can sense the location of other divine weapons.
The remaining six divine weapons are the closest, but they are so far away that Feng Qing’an had no desire to look for them at this point.
Chirp
After hearing Feng Qing’an’s plan, the little flood dragon’s eyes lit up with excitement, and it couldn’t wait to ask Feng Qing’an when they would catch up.
It had tasted the benefits twice and was looking forward to tasting it for the third time. The surge of spiritual power and realm in a short span of time was too valuable.
“Hold your horses, first I need to find a reliable assistant. Then you can lead them to pursue her!”
Under the puzzled gaze of the little flood dragon, Feng Qing’an led it to submerge to the bottom of the river, returned to the Water Mansion, and effortlessly found an old turtle carrying a large number of jade discs onto his desk.
Seeing this, Feng Qing’an’s face immediately darkened. He swore this was the last time he would take the position of a mountain god or a water monarch. He would not touch these positions that are wrapped up in trivial matters in the future.
“Young master, you’re back. Please come here and take care of these affairs!”
Seeing Feng Qing’an return, the Prime Minister Turtle’s eyes lit up, and with a happy smile, he ushered Feng Qing’an back to the divine seat. Feng Qing’an checked the jade discs with annoyance and got furious.
The affairs presented to him were nothing significant. Most of these jade discs came from the Prayer for Rain Palace, the place where the scent of incense from the people living along Wave River was collected.
The River Water Monarch, who controls the Wave River, can know more clearly and quickly what the people along the river are requesting through their incense offerings. Most of these requests are for rain. There are also some prayers related to water flow, like praying for a disaster to be averted or blessings..
