Chapter 1085: Compensation (First update, requesting all)

Li Zhangsheng stepped onto the surface of the Wangjiang, his hands clasped behind his back. His appearance had changed; he bore a ferocious dragon head, having taken on the humanoid form of the Great King of the Nujiang.

Not only that, but his aura had also shifted, gaining a touch of Dragon Might, which Li Zhangsheng had temporarily borrowed from the Chi Dragon by utilizing a mental channel.

Although it was only a portion, and the Chi Dragon had not yet reached the Saint Grade Spirit Pet level, its Dragon Might was not much inferior to that of the Great King of the Nujiang, and it was full of deterrent power, especially toward dragon-type Spirit Beasts.

There was no helping it; the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline was not just for show.

Li Zhangsheng's eyes flickered slightly, and his ears twitched rapidly with an extremely minute amplitude as he entered the state of Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng had already locked onto his target.

Above the Gale Layer to the west of the Dai Kingdom, Li Zhangsheng vaguely saw a dragon nearly a hundred meters long, its massive, winding dragon body undulating as it sped toward the Wangjiang.

Due to the Gale Layer, it looked somewhat blurry, but Li Zhangsheng recognized at a glance that this was Dou Cangqiong's Saint Grade Spirit Pet dragon.

On the dragon claw of the Saint Grade Spirit Pet dragon, a tiny figure could be vaguely seen.

Without a doubt, the Saint Grade Spirit Pet dragon was far too arrogant; how could it possibly allow a messenger of the Profound Emperor, who was not even a King, to ride upon it?

The title of Profound Emperor's messenger sounded high-ranking, but there was more than one such messenger—in fact, there were many. Especially here in the Fairy World, where strength was respected, their true status and importance were certainly inferior to that of a Saint Grade Spirit Pet dragon.

This was the characteristic of a world with supernatural powers: only one's own strength was eternal; otherwise, no matter how great the power and influence, one was merely duckweed without roots.

"I didn't expect to get a buy-one-get-one-free deal!"

Li Zhangsheng could not help but reveal a smile. Originally, he had only intended to lure the Profound Emperor's messenger, but he had not expected Dou Cangqiong's Saint Grade Spirit Pet dragon to come as well.

More than two months ago, Dou Cangqiong had suffered a crushing defeat and heavy losses; even his Blessed Land had been severely damaged, so the injuries he sustained could be imagined. Unless he consumed a healing-type Super Grade Pill, it was impossible for him to recover in a short time.

The so-called Super Grade Pill was naturally superior to top-tier pills. Li Zhangsheng had never even seen one, nor did he have the formula. Even the King of One Hundred Victories had only seen one once, which showed just how rare Super Grade Pills were. Even for someone as noble as the Profound Emperor, whether she possessed a healing-type Super Grade Pill was a question, and even if she did, she would not bestow it upon Dou Cangqiong, as it was meant for life-saving.

If nothing went wrong, Dou Cangqiong had not yet recovered, and it would certainly take some time before he was fully restored.

If he killed the Saint Grade Spirit Pet dragon at this time, Dou Cangqiong's injuries would likely relapse, perhaps even more severely than they were two months ago.

At the same time, it would, to a greater or lesser extent, weaken Dou Cangqiong's strength.

Although, given Dou Cangqiong's realm, he could contract wild Saint Grade Spirit Beasts, not to mention how unruly wild Saint Grade Spirit Beasts were, even if he succeeded in contracting one, the rapport would certainly be far inferior to a Spirit Pet cultivated for decades or centuries.

Besides that, wild Saint Grade Spirit Beasts had never received training, and even if they were trained now, they would have little potential left. With the same race, quality, and bloodline, their strength would definitely be far inferior to a Saint Grade Spirit Pet cultivated from a young age; this was a certainty.

Of course, Divine Beasts were an exception, just like Tengshe Abaresk, which could contend with Dou Cangqiong's Demon Emperor Level Burning Mountain Ape while only at the Saint Grade.

Li Zhangsheng waited quietly. After more than half an hour, the Saint Grade Spirit Pet dragon finally broke through the Gale Layer and appeared before Li Zhangsheng.

The reason Dou Cangqiong had sent the Saint Grade Spirit Pet dragon out was simply because the Saint Grade Spirit Pet dragon and the Great King of the Nujiang could be considered distant relatives, sharing a certain bloodline connection.

In an instant, the Saint Grade Spirit Pet dragon transformed into a dragon-headed, human-bodied form.

"Cousin!"

The Great King of the Nujiang was older, and coupled with their bloodline connection, this was the reason the Saint Grade Spirit Pet dragon addressed it as cousin.

"Hmm!"

Li Zhangsheng, disguised as the Great King of the Nujiang, was noncommittal. Judging from the partial memories of the Great King of the Nujiang, it had absolutely no desire to be close to this distant cousin. If the Profound Emperor's messenger hadn't paid a high price, the Great King of the Nujiang would never have come out to stir up trouble and flood Tianfang City.

The Profound Emperor's messenger smoothed her flying hair to cover her disheveled appearance; she was only a Pseudo-King, and clinging to the claw of a Saint Grade Spirit Pet dragon in the Gale Layer had been incredibly uncomfortable.

Her appearance was pretty and charming, and her figure was curvaceous; she was a rare beauty.

As the only female Emperor, the Profound Emperor's messengers were almost all beauties, and most of the Kings and Double-Character Kings under her command were also female.

Immediately, the unnamed Profound Emperor's messenger said with slight dissatisfaction: "Great King of the Nujiang, how can you go back on your word?"

With the Profound Emperor backing her and a Saint Grade Spirit Pet dragon by her side, this was the source of the Profound Emperor's messenger's confidence.

"Go back on my word? No, no, how much important information have you hidden from this King, especially regarding that King of All? Had I known the King of All was so powerful, this King would never have gotten involved in this matter."

'The Great King of the Nujiang' denounced her, his entire body suffused with Dragon Might. Even the Saint Grade Spirit Pet dragon felt a sense of trepidation, let alone the Profound Emperor's messenger.

The Profound Emperor's messenger's face turned pale instantly, and her legs trembled involuntarily; if she hadn't struggled to maintain her composure, she would have almost been pressed to the ground by the Dragon Might.

Simply put, the Great King of the Nujiang had been kept completely in the dark. It stayed in the Wangjiang year-round and had no eyes or ears, so how could it know information about Li Zhangsheng? It had only heard a little and assumed Li Zhangsheng was just a relatively powerful King; who knew he was powerful to that extent?

This was the result of being too cut off from information, and the Great King of the Nujiang paid the price of its life for it.

The Profound Emperor's messenger said, feigning calmness: "Great King of the Nujiang, now that you have flooded Tianfang City, do you think the King of All will let you off?"

"This King doesn't care about that. At worst, I will abandon the Wangjiang and roam the vast seas; surely that King of All cannot find this King in the boundless ocean. However, it is not impossible for this King to help you contain Zhao Yuanqing."

"What do you want?"

"Reasonable compensation!"

The Profound Emperor's messenger's willow-leaf eyebrows stood on end; her mood was exceptionally bad, yet she had to make a compromise, taking out a pile of gold, silver, and treasures, none of which were high-grade items.

"Is this enough?"

"This King does not lack these mundane things. This King is taking a huge risk this time; this little compensation is far from enough!"

"Then what do you want? I can ask for instructions from Her Majesty the Profound Emperor."

'The Great King of the Nujiang' lecherously looked the Profound Emperor's messenger up and down and said: "If this King says I want you, what then? Do you think Her Majesty the Profound Emperor would agree to this condition?"

Looking at 'the Great King of the Nujiang's' ferocious dragon head, the Profound Emperor's messenger felt as if her lungs were about to explode, and her chest heaved violently.

'The Great King of the Nujiang' looked at the two balloons bulging high on her chest, a bit worried that the quality of her clothes would not hold up and a wardrobe malfunction would occur.
