The dragon boat rode the wind and waves, sailing towards the Unnamed Island. The sea returned to calm, but the Fifth-Rank Continent was in complete chaos.
Soochow was defeated and fell one after another. Sun Jian died suddenly in the palace for unknown reasons. The whole Soochow Empire was shocked. The bad news came. Sun Ce and Sun Quan, who were still fighting on the front line, looked up to the sky and roared, their eyes were splitting, and their hearts were filled with grief and anger.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, now that the Emperor has passed away, the country cannot be without a king for a day. For the sake of the country, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should return to Nanlong City immediately to defend the capital to prevent traitors from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble."
Lu Su's expression was solemn and his deep voice sounded. Sun Quan glanced sideways at Sun Ce who was standing on the city and spoke.
"Brother, Mr. Lu is right. Now Cao Cao's thieves are attacking, but my father suddenly died in the palace. There must be something else going on. We urgently need to return to the capital to stabilize the situation of the court."
"Cao's army is overwhelming and has captured several cities one after another. We are now returning to the imperial capital and the capital has been stabilized. This country may fall into the hands of Cao."
Sun Ce didn't want to return to the capital to find out the truth and find out how Sun Jian died suddenly in the palace, but the current situation left him no time to take care of both. There was anger on his resolute face, and a helpless light flickered in his black eyes.
"Prince, the King of Jin can return to the capital with peace of mind to stabilize the situation of the court. The Northern Wei army's humble ministers and General Taishi below the city can be rejected by General Zhou!"
Lu Su's expression was firm, his sonorous voice sounded, and he looked at Cao Ying not far outside the city, full of confidence.
"Brother Emperor, the situation is urgent. We must not hesitate. We must make a decisive decision immediately. Once the capital is stable, we can regroup and fight Cao Cao's thieves again."
Sun Quan tried to persuade Sun Ce, but Sun Ce glanced sideways at the three generals Lu Su, Tai Shi Ci, and Zhou Tai, and said: "Thank you, three generals, for taking the trouble. The people in the city have been evacuated. If this city cannot resist the Northern Wei army, you and the other three do not need to die."
If we want to fight, we can withdraw towards the capital. Ten days is enough, and someone will definitely come with a large army."
"His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, must give top priority to state affairs. In battles on the battlefield, minor ministers must do their best to never let the Northern Wei army take a step forward."
"Your Highness, I thought I could ask for help from the Chu State. The Northern Wei Dynasty was full of energy and aspired to unify the fifth-level empire. I believe that Emperor Chu would never see the Northern Wei Empire expand so rapidly. Your Highness can send people to the Chu State. Maybe
With a generous reward, Emperor Chu can send troops to help me in Soochow."
"Brother Imperial, you can handle the affairs of the capital. I will take people to the Kingdom of Chu. I have some friendship with the Emperor of Chu. I believe he will not refuse easily."
"Okay, this trip to Chu State, be careful all the way. Big brother is waiting for your good news in the imperial capital."
Sun Quan led his people across the ocean and rushed to Yinghua County. However, Dongwu was not the only one seeking help from Emperor Chu. People from the Jiangdu Empire had already arrived in Ping'an City and were now heading to the general's mansion.
............
At dusk.
The dragon boat docked and arrived at Wuming Island. Everyone followed Emperor Chu to board the island. After returning to the mansion, Emperor Chu arranged Ling Xuanyuan in the pavilion next to him.
On the dragon boat.
Emperor Chu had a detailed discussion with Ling Xuanyuan and learned that he was not coveting Sun Shangxiang's beauty, but found that her physique was rather special.
In Ling Xuanyuan's words, he was a ferocious beast that dominated the world and would not fall in love with a human woman. What shocked Emperor Chu the most was that he actually had a crush on her.
The dragon boat sailed on the East China Sea for several hours. Emperor Chu asked Ling Xuanyuan many times, hoping to get a transformation pill because he wanted the mythical beast White Tiger to transform into a human form and stay by his side, but Ling Xuanyuan refused.
Ling Xuanyuan didn't have any discomfort with Emperor Chu's arrangement. In his opinion, he could practice anywhere.
Now that he has turned into a human form, except for those old monsters who are hidden in the war continent, it is impossible for ordinary people to see the clues and know his identity, so he can practice on the nameless island with peace of mind and no longer have to live a life of darkness.
Emperor Chu returned to his mansion and learned that everything was calm, so he returned to his room and began to check the harvest in the dragon ring.
"Whoa!"
Suddenly, a red light flashed in the room, and a strange medicinal aroma filled the air. His eyes stopped on the dragon blood stone, and he was shocked to find that there were five hundred dragon blood stones, and he was very excited.
These 500 dragon blood stones can strengthen 500 mounts and form an advance force. Emperor Chu could not imagine what a powerful effect the combination of strong generals and strengthened mounts would have.
Raising his hand to collect the dragon blood stone, his eyes once again rested on the jade bottle of elixir, and he asked: "Little bitch, what kind of elixir is in this jade bottle, and what is its function!"
"Hey, the system is scanning, host please wait!"
"Dip, successfully obtained the elixir information. This elixir is called Bodhi Pill. It can be used instead of various upgrade elixirs, including mounts, magic weapons, battle robes, mounts, spiritual stones, and generals. Bodhi Pill can be used for them.
upgrade."
"Bodhi Pill?"
"This elixir is so terrifying, it's almost omnipotent. I didn't expect Ling Xuanyuan to be very generous in taking action!"
"Little bitch, how much are these Bodhi Pills in total?"
"Hey, there are only 1,500 Bodhi Pills scanned by the system. The host can use them with confidence!"
Hear the sound.
Emperor Chu's thoughts were racing, and he had already put the fifteen hundred Bodhi Pills to use. He believed that with the use of the Bodhi Pills, the strength of the Chu army generals would improve by leaps and bounds.
Although he failed to obtain all the treasures during this trip to the bottom of the sea, with Ling Xuanyuan, a strong man at the peak of the Martial Realm, by his side, as well as gold coins, dragon blood stones, and Bodhi Pills, Emperor Chu felt that the trip was worthwhile.
As for the other treasures in Ling Xuanyuan's hands, Emperor Chu was confident that given time, he would make Ling Xuanyuan willingly dedicate the treasures to him.
Think about this.
Emperor Chu chuckled lightly. He couldn't wait to see the power of the Bodhi Pill. He raised his hand and snatched out a jade bottle, floating in the void in front of him.
"boom!"
The bottle cork was pulled out, and the fragrance of the medicine filled the air. Emperor Chu raised his hand and put an elixir into his mouth. The elixir entered his body. He only felt the rich and powerful energy pouring into the meridians like a mountain and an ocean. The elixir entered his body.
Soaring.
"What a powerful elixir!"
Emperor Chu activated the true dragon energy in his body and began to crazily devour the power released by the elixir. The true energy surged, and he held his breath and concentrated, falling into crazy absorption.
From dusk to night, and then to early morning, Emperor Chu has been sitting cross-legged on the wooden couch, sometimes with a violent aura, sometimes as calm as water, sometimes with golden light, until now there is only a thin mist lingering on his body.
In a building nearby, Ling Xuanyuan, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed through, "A Bodhi Pill, a breakthrough in one night?"
Ling Xuanyuan was indignant. Not to mention one Bodhi Pill, even if he swallowed all the Bodhi Pills, it would be difficult for him to break through and advance.
"Hey, it's true that one person is more deadly than another. This guy is too perverted!"
Finished.
Ling Xuanyuan once again drooped his eyes, his whole body was as stable as a rock, and fell into cultivation again.
At noon.
Zhang Liang received the message sent by Zhuge Liang's flying pigeon and learned that the Jiangdu Empire sent people to ask for help. He clutched the letter tightly and walked quickly to the Chu Emperor's residence.
a long time.
Zhang Liang came outside the mansion and saw Zhao Yun, Bai Qi, and Luo Shixin walking from the other side. The four of them gathered together and entered the mansion.
Emperor Chu had just withdrawn from the joy of his breakthrough in cultivation. He was in high spirits at happy events. He strode forward, opened the door, and walked into the courtyard with his sleeves fluttering.
Suddenly he heard the sound of footsteps. Emperor Chu raised his head and looked forward. When he saw four people coming together, he chuckled.
"I came just in time to give them the Bodhi Pill!" (To be continued)
