Chapter 389: Divine Might First Appears

~10 min read 1,941 words

The sunlight outside the window was just right, and the incense in the study was elegant.

The edges of the white book pages were serrated, half-covering the covered documents.

Liang Qu didn't hesitate, picked up his pen to write, and breathed on the mud to seal it.

At the moment of stamping.

Xu Xu Yuelong grabbed Liang Qu's forearm, itching with hatred.

"You kid, do you even know what you're doing?"

"I know."

Liang Qu looked Xu Xu Yuelong in the eye and pressed down hard.

Slap!

"Sign the military order!"

A piece of distant sky was revealed on the gray-green roof, and the early lotus flowers protruding from the water swayed in the wind. The swaying lotus stalks were covered with fine duckweed.

Old Chequ basked in the sun, enjoying the spring breeze and the fragrance of lotus leaves.

Tatta Kai led the whole family to pack up, preparing for the first family long-distance trip of the year.

The small river otter tried to stuff a wind-dried fish head into the luggage, which Tatta Kai noticed, snatched it away, and swallowed it in two or three bites, causing the small river otter to scream.

The Big Da He Li dragged its tail forward to mediate the fight.

The water beasts were busy with their own affairs, but Liang Qu didn't leave.

He sat on Old Toad's exclusive stone, using his internal breath to wash his whole body's blood energy, and while breathing, waited quietly.

The moon hung on the branches.

The busy Dragon-men poked their heads out and saw Liang Qu sitting on the giant rock at a glance.

"My Lord?"

"Is the Lord waiting for us?"

"Hmm." Liang Qu nodded, "I have some things to ask you."

"My Lord, if you have any questions, just ask. We two brothers know everything and will say everything!"

"About that snake demon in Xiangyi County..."

Liang Qu didn't rush to set off, specifically waiting for the brothers Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe, wanting to have a further understanding of the snake demon.

After all, the two had reminded him once after the festival.

Hearing the "Dragon Lord's" question, the two felt ashamed.

"Huaiyin Prefecture north is very far from Pingyang County. We only met Long Long Zijian and the others once during the Spring Festival and learned the news. Since then, there has been no contact. We don't know the specifics."

Liang Qu was silent. Fortunately, he had been prepared in his heart, so he wasn't too disappointed.

Long Pingjiang clasped his fists: "My Lord, are you going to deal with the snake demon?"

Long Pinghe, reminded by his elder brother, scanned the area and finally noticed that the usually lively pond was much emptier, and the group of most active river otters had disappeared.

"Hmm, setting off today."

Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe were shocked.

Liang Qu had broken through today, and he had spent an afternoon restraining his aura, so the two hadn't seen it yet, and were quite panicked.

"My Lord, absolutely not. Now is the time to keep a low profile. Why go and provoke that snake demon?"

The old Dragon Lord's strength could allow for reincarnation, but that didn't mean the new Dragon Lord could!

What if he really died?

The Dragon-man tribe would really slowly perish in the Great Marsh!

Liang Qu's gaze was deep: "The snake demon and I will clash sooner or later. It's better to take the initiative because of this event."

Long Pingjiang was stunned: "I am dull and don't know what you mean, my Lord?"

"I ask you, what are the four pillars of the demon court distributed in the southeast, northwest of the Great Marsh?"

"Naturally, they are the South Toad, North Fish, West Turtle, and East Snake. After the True Dragon passed away, the East Snake King transformed into a Jiaolong and led the whole tribe to move into the central Dragon Palace. Except for the part of the eastern waters they still hold, most of it was given to the North Fish and another unknown great demon."

"I have never seen what the so-called North Fish looks like, but..."

Liang Qu jumped to the shore, rummaged near the Big Da He Li family's wooden house, found a wooden board, and then pulled a piece of charcoal from the bonfire where the river otters were roasting fish. He roughly drew the strange fish that looked like a Dunkleosteus he had once slaughtered in Huazhu County, and held up the wooden board.

"Does the North Fish look like this?"

Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe swept a glance and were dumbfounded.

"My Lord, you have seen it!?"

"I encountered one while controlling the flood in Huazhu County last year." Liang Qu put down the wooden board. "I also slew a snake monster last summer, and this year two more snake monsters appeared in Xiangyi County, leading to the snake demon.

The North Fish came to the south bank, and snake-like Great Spirit Monsters appeared in the shallows.

In fact...

They are all here for me, right?"

Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe were speechless.

Liang Qu wasn't stupid.

Back then, the Old Toad told him to go less to the east and north, without saying the specific reason.

Liang Qu had always kept it in mind. After receiving the oral decree from flood control, he could touch upon many secrets.

When he wanted to build a fleet last time, Ran Ran Zhongshi mentioned that the North Fish was powerful, which led to the high share of the northern fleet, and gave a rough description.

Now, comparing it with the Dragon-men, it was indeed the strange fish he had slaughtered in Huazhu County.

North and South opposite.

The strange fish traveled thousands of miles to get here; what purpose could they have?

So many snake-like Great Spirit Monsters appeared in the shallows; what purpose could they have?

Not to mention that almost all snake demons in the Great Marsh belonged to the Jiaolong's command!

Their goal in coming to the south bank was actually very simple and easy to understand.

Combined with the great movement of the Jiaolong gathering great demons before, the Jiaolong in the Great Marsh, like the Dragon-men, had actually acted long ago.

It was just that Liang Qu hadn't realized it before, and only connected all the events this year.

Long Pingjiang was full of worry: "My Lord, since you know, why take the initiative to go? What if the Jiaolong..."

"Because on the surface, this whole thing has nothing to do with me."

Liang Qu's tone was indifferent.

The snake demon was making a fuss because it had a feud over its offspring with the Zhang and Li families, and it was in the wrong first.

If it weren't for the snake monster breaking the fish pond, destroying the large ships, and running into the fierce Xiangyi County, things wouldn't have reached this point.

But since things had reached this point, even if Liang Qu slaughtered it, the Jiaolong wouldn't dare to let out a fart, and even because it was related to the Great Shun, it would be anxious to clear its relationship.

It absolutely wouldn't dare to run to the shallows to investigate!

When the True Dragon was alive, the Jianghuai Great Marsh still had to make a three-chapter agreement with the dynasty.

Not to mention that the Jiaolong hadn't become a True Dragon, even if it had, it wouldn't be its turn to shout and scream.

The Jiaolong was at least a semi-dragon; the effect wasn't as exaggerated as a True Dragon, but it was still a great supplement!

The several Martial Saints sitting in the South Zhili wouldn't mind catching a great medicine that rushed ashore to nourish themselves, allowing one or two people in the family to have the qualifications of a Martial Saint.

"In other words, if the snake demon dies at this juncture, it dies in vain."

For a world that was vast enough and a dynasty that was vast enough.

No matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, a cat that can catch mice is a good cat!

And for the Jiaolong, anything related to the Great Shun.

Don't provoke it.

Such great power!

Liang Qu closed his eyes, his perception spreading infinitely.

One hundred meters, two hundred meters, three hundred meters...

One li, two li, three li...

Until his perception extended to a range of ten li and barely stopped!

The entire Yixing Town, all the underground rivers, were all under his control, as clear as looking at the lines on his own palm!

Even...

Liang Qu couldn't help but swallow his saliva and flick his fingers.

He seemed to be able to control all the underground rivers of Yixing Town and pull them out of the earth...

As the thought emerged, Liang Qu felt an unbearable itch in his hands for a moment, giving rise to a bit of a desire to try.

Wait.

Liang Qu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately circulated the "Ten Thousand Victories Holding Origin," forcibly restraining the desire for destruction in his heart.

Pulling out the underground rivers of the entire Yixing Town would surely cause the earth to shake and the mountains to sway!

Possessing a sharp weapon, the desire to kill arises on its own.

The suddenly expanded power actually made him feel intoxicated.

Calming down, an intense feeling of weakness suddenly spread from the inside out throughout his whole body.

His elevated perspective lowered again.

Liang Qu inadvertently looked down and actually caught a glimpse of a shrinking white ape on the water's surface.

"Brother Xu, trust me once. If there are any accidents, I, Liang, am willing to bear all the consequences alone!"

"You, a mere Water Official..."

Xu Xu Yuelong originally wanted to mock him, but suddenly remembered that this kid had the Holy Emperor's oral decree, which was not comparable to an ordinary seventh-rank official.

Silence lasted for a long time.

Bang!

Xu Xu Yuelong tore off a piece of white paper and slapped it on the desk.

"You sign the document!" ===== CHAPTER 389 =====

So-called spirit transformation still requires the consumption of physical strength.

With Liang Qu's current realm, he could only maintain it for a moment.

Besides...

Did he turn into a marsh macaque?

Liang Qu recalled the abnormal behavior of the giant beaver and the river otter.

He brought the beasts over to understand the situation.

"In the perspective of me and the controlled water beasts, I am still me, but in the eyes of other water beasts, I am a white ape?"

The Marsh Tripod is truly infinitely mysterious.

Couldn't he infiltrate the demon race in the future?

Humans eat human rations, demons eat demon rations?

Liang Qu stroked his chin.

Evening.

Liang Qu walked to the kitchen to eat, and on the way, he saw the old monk coming out of the west wing. With a thought, he took the initiative to go up and communicate.

"Master, what should one do if one suddenly gains power and cannot control the desire for destruction in one's heart?"

The old monk glanced at Liang Qu.

"Then destroy to your heart's content."

"?"

"Your nature is kind, you are not a vicious, arrogant person who forgets himself. Suddenly gaining power and having a desire for destruction emerge is nothing more than wanting to vent to your heart's content.

It's like a three-year-old child who has just learned to walk and must explore the world thoroughly. Once you have vented and become familiar with it, the karmic obstacles will naturally disappear."
