After leaving the Mirage City for some distance, Xu Chunniang invited Xiaobai out.
"Xiao Bai, maybe you can feel the scent of little orange here?"
After Xiaobai tried hard to identify it, he shook his head in frustration.
"Not around here."
Xu Chunniang sighed secretly, put Xiaobai away, and continued heading south.
After traveling like this for another day or two, we finally arrived at the junction with Jiao Palace.
From a distance, you can see a row of soldiers and generals standing in front of you, patrolling back and forth in an orderly manner.
The first shrimp tribe general discovered Xu Chunniang, and his expression immediately became serious.
"Stop, who is coming? Please tell me your name quickly! This is the boundary of Jiao Palace, and no one else is allowed to approach."
After saying this, the general of the shrimp clan scanned the person carefully, and his expression suddenly changed slightly.
The opponent's transformation was perfect, and he was most likely a big shot that he couldn't afford to offend.
The sea clan has a strict hierarchy, and the lower sea clans have very weak combat capabilities, and have no power to fight back in front of the higher sea clans.
It's over, he finally got a shape-changing elixir to enlighten his mind. Is he going to die today?
The shrimp general's face turned blue and white, and he was very upset that he had spoken too quickly before.
Sensing the adult's cold gaze falling on him, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he quickly made amends for his previous words.
"Sir, please calm down. I didn't mean to offend you. The direction you are coming from is the direction of Mirage City. The mirage has offended my third princess of the Dragon Clan and has been permanently banned from entering the realm of my Dragon Palace.
I mistook you for those guys from Mirage City, so I accidentally offended you."
Xu Chunniang looked away and thought to herself, it seems that these sea tribesmen, like those in Mirage City, did not recognize her true identity.
This is a deep sea area where human monks rarely visit, but it is not impossible to come.
It stands to reason that since these sea tribesmen have cultivation levels of the Golden Core stage, they should not confuse human monks with fellow tribesmen.
But whether it was the Sea Clan in Mirage City or the Sea Clan affiliated with Jiao Palace in front of them, they all seemed to regard her as an important person rather than a human monk. I don’t know why.
"I just passed by Mirage City and have nothing to do with them."
Xu Chunniang spoke calmly, clarifying the relationship between herself and Mirage City, "I came here to find a Qiongqi. I wonder if you can see it?"
"Qiongqi?"
General Shrimp Head and General Crab Claw looked at each other and couldn't help but think of what happened a few days ago.
The two said in unison, "The younger one did see a Qiongqi three days ago, but it was already picked up by the Golden Snake Empress."
"Golden Snake Empress?"
Xu Chunniang frowned, "Who is she? Where is she now?"
"The Golden Snake Empress is the little princess of the Sea Serpent Clan. The Sea Snake Clan and the Jiao Clan are distant relatives, so the Golden Snake Empress is very noble.
The Golden Snake Empress was very surprised after picking up Qiongqi, and said she would give it to her third cousin, the third princess of Jiao Palace."
General Crab Claw added from the side, "The third princess made a promise a few years ago that she wanted to catch a strange beast to use as a mount. The Golden Snake Empress caught Qiongqi in order to please the third princess."
Xu Chunniang frowned when she heard this. Since this third princess of the Jiao tribe dared to expel the Nascent Soul stage mirage demon from the Jiao Palace, her cultivation level was most likely also at the Yuanying stage.
Once Qiongqi falls into her hands, you can imagine how difficult it is to snatch Qiongqi out of her hands.
Even if the opponent's cultivation level is not as high as Nascent Soul, given the opponent's noble status and the strength of Jiao Palace, it is probably difficult to succeed.
She glanced at the two people in front of her, "I wonder what the cultivation levels of the third princess of the Jiao Tribe and the Golden Snake Empress are? How do they compare with me?"
"this……"
The shrimp-headed general suddenly hesitated. He didn't want to offend the mysterious master in front of him, but if he belittled the third princess just to please the master, his life as a shrimp would be almost over.
After hesitating for a long time, the shrimp-headed general said ambiguously.
"Your Excellency and the Third Princess are both first-rate figures. Their magical powers and powers are quite impressive. As for the Golden Snake Empress, she is a far cry from you, so naturally she cannot compare with you."
In General Xiatou's view, the Golden Snake Empress is at the Golden Core stage, but the adult in front of her is at the Nascent Soul stage. Isn't it just a big difference?
Xu Chunniang thought thoughtfully, from this point of view, there is no doubt that the third princess of the Jiao clan must be a great demon in the Nascent Soul stage.
As for the Golden Snake Empress, her cultivation level is slightly lower and she should still be at the Golden Core stage.
She felt relieved. If the Golden Snake Empress was also a great demon in the Nascent Soul Stage, then she would have to take a long-term approach if she wanted to save Little Orange.
Fortunately, the Golden Snake Empress is only at the Golden Core level, so she still has a chance to snatch the little orange back before she gives it to the third princess of the Jiao Tribe!
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath and concealed the determination in her eyes, "How long does it take to get to Jiao Palace from here?"
"For a small person, it will take at least two or three months, but for an adult, it will only take twenty days."
Two or three months...
The Golden Snake Empress has only been away for three days. She used her nine steps to rush forward, and she could stop her before she arrived at Jiao Palace!
After asking the Golden Snake Empress about the route she took, and asking the two for the chart to the Jiao Palace, Xu Chunniang directly activated her Nine Steps and drifted away.
The shrimp-headed general and the crab-clawed general looked at the direction she left with envious expressions.
"My lord's escape skills are really amazing. I don't know when I will be able to be as capable as you."
General Crab Claw nodded in agreement, "But have you noticed that the power of my Lord does not seem to be as powerful as that of General Golden Snake?"
"What do you know?"
The shrimp-headed general snorted, "Some adults like to restrain their aura and appear approachable. I think that's the case with the gentleman just now."
General Crab Claw rolled his eyes in confusion and nodded in understanding.
Xiatou is older and more knowledgeable. He said so, so that should be it.
Xu Chunniang didn't know that after she left, the two soldiers and crab generals had so much to think about.
She walked all the way in the direction the two of them said, and from time to time she would bump into some cruising teams.
When these teams saw her from a distance, most of them mistook her for a powerful demon clan and treated her with respect.
There were even quite a few who enthusiastically showed her the way after learning that she was looking for the Golden Snake Empress.
"Sir, the Golden Snake Empress passed from this direction one day ago. What do you have to do with her? Do you need any help?"
Xu Chunniang rejected the other party. After finding the Golden Snake Empress, she asked for Qiongqi. If the other party was unwilling to give it, she could only steal it directly.
These people will follow her and when the time comes to take action, they will all turn against her.
"No need, you are too slow."
After Xu Chunniang said this, she was about to leave when a voice suddenly stopped her.
