Chapter 518

"Back then, when the Chu and Han states joined forces, the Hundred Yue were not their match. Now, the Qin state is much stronger than the Han and Chu states. Even if the three Hundred Yue kingdoms can temporarily resist the Qin army by relying on the geographical advantages of the mountains and forests, they can resist for a while, but not for a lifetime."

"Therefore, instead of putting up a desperate fight, it is better to submit to the trend."

Yan Yan Lingji spoke leisurely. Compared to years ago, she had changed a lot.

This was Tian Ze's greatest feeling. The Yan Yan Lingji of the past, although beautiful and not lacking in strength, was more of a dependent. But now, in Tian Ze's eyes, she looked more like... a superior.

What had she experienced over these years?

Tian Ze was very curious!

Immediately, he heard Yan Yan Lingji say, "As far as I know, even though you have operated in the Hundred Yue for many years, you haven't taken back your things, have you!"

Tian Ze's eyes narrowed; Yan Yan Lingji's words hit the sore spot in his heart.

He gave up searching for the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon and turned to wanting to take back everything with his own strength. However, after so many years, even though he had operated in the Minyue Kingdom in every possible way, he had never taken back everything that belonged to him.

Even if he had established a not-so-weak force, he still lacked the strength to use these forces to subvert the royal power of the Minyue Kingdom and take back the throne that belonged to him.

"Even if I haven't taken back my things, so what?"

Tian Ze said coldly.

"The Qin state can help you take back everything!" Yan Yan Lingji looked at Tian Ze and said lightly.

"Oh?"

Tian Ze looked at Yan Yan Lingji, his tone strange. "Are you sure the Qin state can help me take back everything, instead of wanting to destroy the Hundred Yue? And make all the Hundred Yue kingdoms belong to the Qin state?"

Yan Yan Lingji ignored Tian Ze's sarcastic tone. She had followed Tian Ze for many years and knew his personality very well, and even more so, she understood the obsession in his heart.

For Tian Ze, the greatest obsession was that as the Crown Prince of the Hundred Yue, he was defending against the armies of the Han and Chu states on the front line, but his father, who was in the rear, betrayed him, abolished his position as Crown Prince, and abandoned him.

Because of this, after losing support from the rear, he fell into a predicament and was captured by Bai Bai Yifei.

Since then, he hated the Han and Chu states and his own father to the extreme.

He wanted to kill his way back at every moment and question his father.

Unfortunately, he was destined not to have that opportunity. By the time he was released by Bai Bai Yifei after ten years of imprisonment, the King of the Minyue Kingdom, his father, had already died, and his younger brother, Zou Zou Wuzhu, had succeeded to the throne and become the new Minyue King.

Tian Ze returned to Minyue, wanting to take back everything.

However, many years had passed since he was still in the Hundred Yue, and the people of the Hundred Yue had long forgotten his existence. Even though he used his powerful strength to develop a not-so-weak force, he still hadn't stirred up any waves.

Yan Yan Lingji knew all this, so after hearing Tian Ze's words, she said again, "It is precisely because the Qin state wants to destroy the Hundred Yue and annex the various kingdoms that you must seize this opportunity~~!"

"You shouldn't want to lose even the chance for revenge, right?"

Tian Ze paused upon hearing this.

Bai Bai Yifei and Ji Ji Wuye died one after another, and he lost two targets for revenge. The Han and Chu states were destroyed, and he lost two more countries that had grudges against him. If the Hundred Yue kingdoms were also destroyed, he would lose even the chance to prove himself to his younger brother.

Admittedly, he could regard the Qin state as an opponent in the future and take revenge on the Qin state, but could he really take revenge on the Qin state?

Tian Ze had no confidence, nor did he have any foundation.

However, it was clearly difficult for Tian Ze to accept agreeing to Yan Yan Lingji's request and helping Yan Yan Lingji deal with the Hundred Yue just like that.

Looking at the silent Tian Ze, Yan Yan Lingji knew that it was not so easy to persuade him.

But it didn't matter; she had considered this situation before coming, and next, she would continue to try to lobby Tian Ze.

The reason Yan Yan Lingji was so diligent in lobbying Tian Ze to help the Qin state conquer the Hundred Yue was naturally because of Su Xuan's instructions before he left.

Su Xuan trusted her so much and left her behind to help the Qin state conquer the Hundred Yue; she naturally could not let down Su Xuan's trust and had to do this thing well.

While sighing in her heart, Yan Yan Lingji couldn't help but think of Su Xuan. Calculating the time, Su Xuan had been at sea for a while. She didn't know where the Mirage was now, how long it would take to find the so-called immortal mountain Penglai, and how much longer it would take for Su Xuan to return.

Not to mention, Yan Yan Lingji missed Su Xuan a little!

On the vast sea, the Mirage was sailing between the blue waves.

Looking forward, it was the vast sea; looking back, it was also vast.

At this moment, the Mirage had traveled I don't know how many li in the sea, and the appearance of the continent had completely disappeared.

If a tsunami or a great storm came at this time and destroyed the Mirage, everyone on the ship, except for Su Xuan, would probably die in the sea.

After all, there was no land here, and the nearest land was unknown.

Even a master at the Heaven-Man level, in such an environment, could not last long if they could not find land as soon as possible.

"How much longer do we have to sail to reach the immortal mountain?"

Under the Fusang Divine Tree, Xiao Yu looked at Su Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged, and asked this question.

Most of the people who followed Su Xuan to sea this time were adults and could endure loneliness, but Xiao Yu was different. She was a child and grew up in the mountains and forests, used to being idle. When she was in Shushan, she used to ride a black panther and wander around the mountains and forests.

Coming to the Mirage and following Su Xuan to sea, at first, she found some fun in going to sea, but as time went on, this fun gradually dissipated, especially since the scenery in front, behind, left, and right was all the same, which made Xiao Yu feel very bored.

She now only hoped that the Mirage would reach the immortal mountain quickly.

Su Xuan glanced at Xiao Yu and said, "I don't know how long it will take to reach the immortal mountain either. After all, I don't know the specific location of the immortal mountain, but I can be sure of one thing: it won't be long before we enter a magical sea area."

"The entrance to the immortal mountain might be hidden in that sea area!"

"Oh?" Xiao Yu widened her eyes, looking at Su Xuan curiously.

The others beside Su Xuan also moved slightly upon hearing these words.

Lady Yan asked Su Xuan, "Lord Master Xuantian, what did you sense?"

Su Xuan explained, "It's not that I sensed something, but that the aura sensed by the Fusang Divine Tree has become much richer, which means we are getting closer and closer to the location of the immortal mountain!"

He comprehended the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book and mastered part of the power of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden. Back on Shushan, he easily established a connection with the Fusang Divine Tree. After coming to the Mirage, his aura had always been connected to the Fusang Divine Tree, so he knew everything the Fusang Divine Tree perceived.

At first, he could only rely on the faint connection within the power of the sun emitted by the Fusang Divine Tree to find the direction.

As the Mirage sailed further and further in the sea, what he perceived became clearer and clearer.

Su Xuan had a premonition that they were probably about to reach the place where the immortal mountain was located.

Even if it wasn't the immortal mountain, at least it was some area recorded on the back of the turtle shell.
