Chapter 1037: Xierdiweng's Choice (Second update, requesting everything)

Of these two items, one is a Golden Conch, a finished product Li Zhangsheng designed by imitating the Mother-Child Golden Conch, with functions in no way inferior to the Mother-Child Golden Conch.

The Golden Conch is naturally used for communication; of course, this is on the condition that the Horned Dragon Xierdion is willing to contact Li Zhangsheng.

Besides the Golden Conch, there is also a Miniature Palace. Li Zhangsheng has several of the Baisheng King's personal treasures in his hands, but the Biluohuangquan Twin Swords are too precious, the Broken Jade Pendant has already changed its appearance, and the Book of Bloodlines cannot see the light of day.

In this way, the Baisheng King Palace stood out.

In terms of value, the Baisheng King Palace is far inferior to the treasures mentioned above, so even if he lost it, Li Zhangsheng would not feel too much heartache.

For the Red Dragon King Yanasansi, none of its own collections surpass the Baisheng King Palace, so even though this is not its item, it still cannot help but feel heartache when taking it out.

This is the dragon that values wealth as much as its life!

If the Horned Dragon Xierdion was truly the Demon Pet of the Baisheng King, it would naturally have seen this palace often, and it would be easier for it to be reminded of the past by seeing the object.

Just as Li Zhangsheng expected, upon seeing the Baisheng King Palace, the Horned Dragon Xierdion clearly widened its Longyan, as if it were recalling the past.

The Red Dragon King Yanasansi wondered if its eyes were playing tricks on it; it seemed to see crystalline liquid brimming in Xierdion's eyes, but it flashed and vanished, as if it had never happened.

Xierdion fell silent for a moment, then returned to its original tone and asked, "Did that personage bring any other words?"

"No, he just entrusted me to present these two treasures to the Great Overlord. By the way, he also said you can use this treasure to contact him."

The Red Dragon King thought for a moment, then finally pointed to the Golden Conch.

"Yanasansi, you may return now!"

Xierdion issued an order to leave.

"Great Overlord, then I shall take my leave!"

The Red Dragon King was clearly relieved; it had been afraid that Xierdion would think it had secretly defected to Li Zhangsheng and kill it to set an example in a fit of rage. Fortunately, such a thing did not happen.

Fearing that Xierdion might change its mind, the Red Dragon King hurriedly flapped its dragon wings and immediately returned to its own territory.

Looking at the Miniature Palace and the Golden Conch in its hands, Xierdion was full of hesitation and could not help but fall into a dilemma.

Now it faces two choices: either continue to maintain the status quo—the benefit of doing so is not having to take risks, but if Li Zhangsheng eventually wins the final victory, its fate will likely not be good.

The second choice is to secretly defect to Li Zhangsheng. The benefits go without saying, while the disadvantage is that it is relatively risky.

Of course, Xierdion has a third choice: to leave the Silent Forest and remain neutral to both sides. This choice was immediately ignored by it; it is too inadvisable.

After hesitating for a long while, Xierdion tremblingly picked up the Golden Conch, which was no different from a sesame seed to it, and it finally made its choice.

The reason for this choice is that the connection to the Baisheng King is almost negligible; after all, over a hundred years have passed, and no matter how much it reminisces, the feelings of the past have ultimately faded to the extreme, not to mention that Li Zhangsheng is not the Baisheng King.

On this point, Li Zhangsheng had also expected it long ago; the Baisheng King was nothing more than a stepping stone.

Taking a step back, even if the Horned Dragon Xierdion did not choose his side, he would still carry out the next step of his plan: publicizing the relationship between him and the Horned Dragon Xierdion.

Although rumors stop at the wise, among so many Great Overlords and Overlords, there will always be some who are not very bright, which would cause Xierdion to be subjected to questioning. However, Xierdion surely has some supporters, and over time, the contradictions would intensify, eventually making it possible for the Silent Forest to split into two camps, at which point dealing with them would be much easier.

If Xierdion is willing to cooperate, Li Zhangsheng will naturally go with the flow.

It can be said that before contacting the Horned Dragon Xierdion, Li Zhangsheng had already calculated his next move.

In fact, the reason Xierdion made this choice is mainly because Li Zhangsheng's speed of progress is truly too fast. Moreover, as a former Demon Pet of the Baisheng King, even if only a peripheral one, it still knows very well how monstrous the Baisheng King was.

Xierdion does not know of the existence of the Book of Bloodlines; it only knows that in the later stages of his career, the Baisheng King researched a set of effective Essence Blood Extraction Methods with high efficiency, which allowed it and its companions to benefit greatly—all of them were without exception Demi-God Beasts or Divine Beasts, and there were even Top-tier God Beasts among them.

From various signs, Li Zhangsheng has definitely inherited the Baisheng King's legacy; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to know it was once the Baisheng King's Demon Pet, nor could he possess so many Demi-God Beast Demon Pets.

According to Xierdion's understanding of the Baisheng King, it feels that if it waits a few more years, Li Zhangsheng will likely be able to become a Double-Character King, and not an ordinary one at that, with a high chance of becoming a figure at the top of the pyramid.

Thus, between the choices of the Teng Snake and Li Zhangsheng, the Horned Dragon Xierdion clearly leaned toward Li Zhangsheng.

The next moment, Xierdion activated the Restriction in the cave and secretly established contact with Li Zhangsheng.

The man and the dragon discussed for a long time before hanging up the connection.

A thousand miles away in Yecheng, Li Zhangsheng put down the Golden Conch with satisfaction.

As expected of the second-ranked Great Overlord, Xierdion's understanding of the Silent Forest clearly exceeds that of ordinary Overlords, letting Li Zhangsheng know quite a bit of useful information.

There are not five Great Overlords in the Silent Forest, but six; it is just that one has been in seclusion for years and often does not appear for decades, and in Xierdion's view, this one's strength is at least not inferior to its own, and perhaps even stronger.

As for the number of Overlords, due to Li Zhangsheng, the number of Overlords has shrunk significantly, and now only 27 remain.

Besides this, Li Zhangsheng also learned about the origin of the Teng Snake; it came from the Monopoly Mountain Range side hundreds of years ago, though Xierdion does not know the relationship between the Teng Snake and the Monopoly Mountain Range.

As for whether the Teng Snake has broken through to the Demon Emperor Level, Xierdion indicated it did not know, because it also had not seen the Teng Snake for a hundred years; historically, only the first-ranked Great Overlord could meet the Teng Snake once every ten years.

Under these circumstances, Li Zhangsheng did not act rashly; he gave Xierdion two tasks: besides inquiring about the Teng Snake's situation from the first-ranked Great Overlord, it must also inform him at the first opportunity when changes occur in the Silent Forest.

Originally, Xierdion had prepared itself to try to contact the Teng Snake, but it turned out to be two tasks with little risk; however, this is a good thing, isn't it? It naturally accepted them without delay.

In return, Li Zhangsheng also gave some promises. Due to the fall of the Baisheng King, Xierdion, who believed it had lost the possibility of further advancement, placed its hopes on its offspring.

Unfortunately, its offspring is merely a Dragon Python; there is no help for it, as the Silent Forest does not have Demi-God Dragon Clan members like Flood Dragons, Horned Dragons, or Chi Dragons.

Even so, the Bloodline of this Dragon Python is very special, which also made Xierdion pin high hopes on it.
