Chapter 657

Luan Jing's expression was grave. He gazed into the distance for a moment before saying coldly:

"Temporarily abandon the pursuit of the evil obstacle! Return to reinforce His Highness!"

On the other side, Silver Shrimp, after a moment of hesitation, decisively led his troops back.

Elsewhere, compared to Zhongli, who was being held back by that small bell, Alice and Ying were having a rather smooth time.

Ao Ming himself was not particularly strong; the Jade-Breaking Treasure Mirror had consumed too much of his power.

Now, with the two of them attacking him, he had no time to recover his demonic power and could only be suppressed and beaten.

"Wait! People of Shushan! We can cooperate!"

Ao Ming dodged the sweep of Alice's Union-Separation Divine Light and took a flying sword strike from Ying head-on, shouting back in a rush.

Alice sneered.

"Those not of our race must have different hearts! What is there for us to discuss with a demonic cultivator like you?"

Ao Ming was somewhat indignant.

"I can give you resources! Magic treasures! Pills! Whatever you want, I have it all!"

"If you attack me, you will surely be hunted down by my Father King; heaven or earth, there will be nowhere to hide!"

Alice's eyes darted, and she quietly caught the gaze of Focalors and the others in the distance.

"What a joke! Who doesn't know that you, Ao Ming, are ambitious and disliked by Ao Dong? Furthermore, now that Ao Dong has a new choice, he won't care if you are killed!"

Ao Ming was even more furious.

"That evil obstacle cannot possibly have survived! You two, why not cooperate with me?"

"I have influence in both the East Sea and the South Sea. You Shushan disciples only need cultivation resources. If I deal with that evil obstacle, everything in the Long Gong will still be mine."

"When that time comes, I can give you whatever you need!"

"Why bother trusting an evil obstacle that hasn't even reached the stage of Refining Qi into Spirit?"

Alice feigned contemplation, appearing to be considering Ao Ming's proposal. Seeing this, Ao Ming felt a surge of joy and increased his stakes.

"Deep within the Long Gong, there are my Father King's treasured grandfather dragon horns and half a dragon essence!"

"With my Father King away, as long as you cooperate with me to deal with that old turtle, we can split the dragon horns and dragon essence!"

"My grandfather was a Spirit Refining and Void Returning cultivator. You two, this gift should be appropriate, right?"

Ao Ming seemed to have victory in his grasp and looked quite smug.

Alice raised an eyebrow; she had to admit, she was truly tempted.

Dragon horns and dragon essence from a Spirit Refining and Void Returning expert...

The value was certainly high, but...

Could it be higher than a half-step treasure?

Moreover, if they seized the time, they didn't need to take all the treasures in the Dragon Prison; taking one-third would be enough to make them filthy rich.

Things like dragon horns and dragon essence were the most important treasures to the likes of Ao Ming and Ao Dong, but to everyone at Shushan, they were just average.

These things were definitely hidden deep, and finding them wouldn't be something that could be done in a short time.

Now that the East Sea reinforcements had arrived, if they rashly headed to the Long Gong to look for the dragon horns and were led into a trap, that would be troublesome...

Could a ruthless guy like Ao Ming have any good intentions?

The demonic race...

Aside from their own people in Shushan, they didn't trust anyone.

Alice scoffed inwardly but feigned deep thought, waiting for Ganyu, Miss Shenhe, and the others to sneak to a spot not far behind Ao Ming.

Before long, Ganyu and Miss Shenhe nodded at her and took out a small seal and a small flag.

These were given to them by Jiang Yan before they came.

Two top-grade spirit artifacts, plus the two mid-stage Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation experts, the Ice God and Focalors...

Ao Ming seemed somewhat impatient, observing the battle between Zhongli and the Turtle Prime Minister.

It looked like the Turtle Prime Minister could still hold on, but in reality, he was at the end of his rope.

If Zhongli dealt with the Turtle Prime Minister in a moment, he would have no chance left.

"How about it? You two? I have already shown great sincerity."

"Indeed! Your sincerity is quite grand."

Alice suddenly gave a brilliant smile. The next moment, a large seal crashed down, and the flag flickered, blocking the Jade-Breaking Treasure Mirror.

The Ice God and Focalors arrived first, their attacks landing fiercely on Ao Ming.

"Sorry about that."

Alice ignited the Union-Separation Divine Light on her lotus platform, transforming it into a treasure sword that cut through everything, severing Ao Ming's body.

"What we want is more than what you thought!"

398. Ruotuo: Being a Howling Celestial Dog isn't so bad either.

Ao Ming died inexplicably.

It looked like a joke, but...

In order to fight the Turtle Prime Minister, he had already exhausted his demonic power, and he was being held back by Alice and Ying.

Caught in a sneak attack, how could he resist Ganyu and the others?

The dead Ao Ming transformed into his original form, an unknown demonic creature ten thousand miles long.

It looked completely devoid of beauty, extremely ugly.

"No wonder your dad doesn't like you. You're so ugly, yet you dare to call yourself a dragon?"

Alice made a snide remark and casually collected his spatial ring.

But this thing cannot open its restrictions for the time being, and now is not the right time either.

Just watching Ao Ming repeatedly take out resources over these three days, I estimate the internal space of this spatial ring is very large.

This ring alone could sell for a high price.

This haul is a huge profit!

Everyone looked at each other with excitement, but then, the collision behind them made everyone's hearts tighten again.

Zhongli indeed possesses combat power that crushes the Turtle Prime Minister, but that little bell of the opponent's is truly unreasonable.

For a moment, Zhongli also felt somewhat irritable.

Looking at the Turtle Prime Minister, his eyes flashed, and he said coldly:

"Your Long Gong Crown Prince has already been executed; you had better give up resistance. I will leave you an intact corpse."

The Turtle Prime Minister's expression did not change.

"He was merely a wolf with wild ambitions who lacked dragon blood. If he's dead, he's dead; the King will not care."

"Is that so?"

Zhongli's gaze turned cold, and he said calmly:

"What if I told you that the dragon-blooded offspring you were searching for were also specifically created by us Shushan people, with the sole purpose of causing your internal strife?"

The Turtle Prime Minister's pupils constricted. He did not answer, but it was clear that his moves had already become chaotic.

"Zhongli! Catch the Jade-Breaking Treasure Mirror!"

Alice suddenly shouted. The Turtle Prime Minister's expression changed, and he decisively withstood Zhongli's attack to rush toward the object Alice had thrown.

"Ha! You fell for it!"

Alice mocked. A black shadow swept past the Turtle Prime Minister, and in his astonished gaze, the mocking expression of Ruotuo, who had transformed into the Howling Celestial Dog, was reflected.

In its mouth, it was still carrying a small seal.

Zhongli's lips curled slightly. The Jade-Breaking Treasure Mirror?

He wouldn't dare use this thing without refining it, but the top-grade spiritual artifact given by Jiang Yan could be used...

Taking the small seal, Zhongli raised his hand and threw it. The square seal instantly transformed into an infinitely tall divine mountain in the air, rushing out of the East Sea and suppressing downward.

The little bell above the Turtle Prime Minister's head vibrated violently, and the ripples it emitted dissipated the moment they touched the Mountain-Suppressing Seal.

The Turtle Prime Minister was instantly pressed under the mountain.

"Ruotuo!"

Zhongli shouted. His Heavenly Eye erupted with divine light, melting the defense of the little bell that was still trembling.

Ruotuo darted in like a stream of light, and when it came out again, it was carrying an ancient-looking key in its mouth.

"Good!"

Zhongli took the key and threw it forcefully to Alice and the others.
