Chapter 838

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

He had given up searching for the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon, turning instead to wanting to take back everything with his own strength. However, after so many years, even though he had operated in every possible way in the Minyue Kingdom, he had still not taken back everything that was his.

Even though he had established a force that was not weak, wanting to use these powers to subvert the royal power of the Minyue Kingdom and take back his own throne was still beyond his reach.

"Even if I have not taken back what is mine, so what?"

Tian Ze said coldly.

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

"Oh?"

Tian Ze looked at Yan Lingji, his tone strange. "Are you sure the Qin Guo can help me take back everything, rather than wanting to destroy Baiyue? To bring all the Baiyue kingdoms under the possession of the Qin Guo?"

Yan Lingji ignored Tian Ze's sarcastic tone. She had followed Tian Ze for many years and knew his character 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 Baiyue, he was on the front lines resisting the armies of the State of Han and the State of Chu, only for his father, the King, who was in the rear, to betray him, abolish his position as Crown Prince, and abandon him.

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

Since then, he had hated the State of Han and the State of Chu, and his own father, to the extreme.

He wanted to kill his way back at every moment to question his father, the King.

Unfortunately, he was destined not to have that opportunity. By the time he was imprisoned for ten years and released by Bai Yifei, the King of the Minyue Kingdom, his father, had already died, and his younger brother, 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 last in Baiyue. The people of Baiyue had long forgotten his existence. Even though he used his powerful strength to develop a force that was not weak, he still did not stir up any waves.

Yan Lingji knew all of this, so after hearing these words from Tian Ze, she said again: "It is precisely because the Qin Guo wants to destroy Baiyue and annex the Baiyue kingdoms that you must seize this opportunity～～!"

"You shouldn't want to not even have a chance for revenge, right?"

Tian Ze paused upon hearing this.

Bai Yifei and Ji Wuye died one after another; he lost two objects of revenge. The State of Han and the State of Chu were destroyed; he lost two more countries he had grudges against. If the Baiyue kingdoms were also destroyed, he would even lose the chance to prove himself to his younger brother.

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

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

However, agreeing to Yan Lingji's request just like that and helping Yan Lingji deal with Baiyue was clearly something Tian Ze found hard to accept.

Looking at the silent Tian Ze, Yan Lingji knew that persuading Tian Ze would not be so easy.

But it did not matter. Before coming, she had considered this situation. Next, she would continue to try to lobby Tian Ze.

The reason Yan Lingji was working so hard to lobby Tian Ze and have him help the Qin Guo conquer Baiyue was naturally because of the instructions Su Xuan gave before leaving.

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

While sighing in her heart, Yan Lingji could not help but think of Su Xuan again. Calculating the time, Su Xuan had been out to sea for a while now. She did not know where the Mirage was at this moment, how much longer it would take to find the so-called Xianshan Penglai, and how much longer it would take for Su Xuan to return.

Not to mention, 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 backward, it was also a vast expanse.

The Mirage at this moment had traveled unknown how many li in the sea, and the appearance of the continent had completely disappeared.

If a tsunami or a great storm were to come at this time and destroy the Mirage, everyone on the ship, except for Su Xuan, would probably all die in the sea.

After all, there was no land here, and no one knew where the nearest land was.

Even a master at the Heaven-Man level, situated in such an environment, could not persist for too long if they could not find land quickly.

"How much longer do we have to sail before we reach the Xianshan?"

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

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

Coming onto the Mirage and following Su Xuan out to sea, at first, she found some pleasure in going to sea, but as time went on, this pleasure gradually dissipated. Especially since the front, back, left, and right were all the same scenery, which made Xiao Yu feel extremely bored.

She now only hoped that the Mirage would quickly reach the Xianshan.

Su Xuan glanced at Xiao Yu and said: "I am not very clear about how much longer it will take to reach the Xianshan. After all, I do not know the specific location of the Xianshan either, but I can be certain of one thing: it won't be long before we enter a magical sea area."

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

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

The others beside Su Xuan also had their expressions shift slightly upon hearing these words.

Yanfei asked Su Xuan: "Lord Xuantian, what have you sensed?"

Su Xuan explained: "It is not that I have sensed something, but that the energy sensed by the Fusang Divine Tree has become much richer. This means that we are getting closer and closer to the location of the Xianshan!"

He had studied the Huang Shi Heavenly Book and mastered a portion of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden's power. Back on Mount Shushan, he had easily established a connection with the Fusang Divine Tree. After arriving on the Mirage, his aura had always been connected to the Fusang Divine Tree, so he knew everything the Fusang Divine Tree perceived by heart.

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

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

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

Even if it was not the Xianshan, at least it was some area recorded on the back of the turtle shell.
