Chapter 398

And Heaven Fighting Mother even had her eyes wide open!

The two of them, four eyes, locked precisely onto each other.

Shen Qingli simply didn't dare move!

Not even daring to summon the Nine Li with her divine sense!

But she had already activated the Pan Ancestor Stone's defense to its utmost!

She knew full well that, with her current strength, even if she unleashed the Pan Ancestor Pupil, she might not be a match for Heaven Fighting Mother's true form.

Even though Heaven Fighting Mother had lost eighty percent of her soul power, who knows if she hadn't secretly recovered using evil arts?

So, she must not act rashly!

……

Time, almost came to a standstill.

Yet neither of them moved?

Shen Qingli instantly sensed something was off.

She didn't move because she wasn't confident she could maintain her strongest defense while attacking, lest Heaven Fighting Mother slap her to death.

So, what about Heaven Fighting Mother?

Naturally, it's because——

At this moment, Heaven Fighting Mother is merely a soulless fleshly body.

To ensure her affairs in the lower realm could proceed smoothly, Heaven Fighting Mother had expended all her remaining soul power.

After all, having offended the Yin and Xia clans, she had no choice.

She had no option but to burn her boats!

She must kill Shen Qingli, retake the Pan Ancestor Stone, and obtain the Pan Ancestor Pupil!

Only then could she secure her position as clan chief of the He clan and let the He clan stand firm among the divine clans.

Yet she never calculated that Shen Qingli would dare to do this, let alone sneak into Yunhe Realm and even reach her true form.

At this moment, she was still 'flirting' with Zhong Minglan, saying, 'Zhong Minglan, come out.'

Heaven Fighting Mother, who had already wiped out most of Zhong Minglan's soul power and consciousness, knew full well that deeper divine thoughts must still be lurking.

No fear, she had plenty of time!

She could surely cleanse it completely.

However——

At this moment, Shen Kuo had descended to the Eastern Sea.

By his side followed Jin Wu, who had received Zhong Minglan's orders to go report to him.

The Dragon Crown Prince also immediately came before him to report, 'Divine Lord, my father and the Empress entered Penglai less than a quarter hour ago, and my father's life token shattered.'

Moreover, he could not send any message via his last thread of life soul, indicating his killer is extremely strong—likely surpassing the Empress. Her Majesty the Empress is probably in grave danger!

Though deeply loving his father who suddenly perished, the Dragon Crown Prince was actually grief-stricken! Before, he had always been a carefree heir who could just wait for handouts.

Even after the great calamity, when the old Dragon King was on his deathbed, he had striven hard, even resolving to become a male third wheel if necessary.

But in the end, he fortunately waited for his father's recovery and could again laze about.

But this time, without any buffer, the old Dragon King died instantly.

The Dragon Crown Prince didn't even have time to shed tears before immediately mobilizing troops and heading out to sea!

He knew he must hold the Eastern Sea, seal off Penglai—whoever entered Penglai could only go in, not retreat.

Because his home is in the Eastern Sea, and the myriad beings there have always been protected by the Eastern Sea Dragon Clan; as heir, he must bear this responsibility.

Also because Penglai surely harbors his father's killer!

To avenge his father, he fears neither life nor death.

So, after delivering his objective report, he immediately knelt and pleaded—

'Please, Divine Lord, take me into Penglai with you! I will surely find the spot where my father met his demise.'

'I second that! My talent is light; wherever there is light, I can see it!'

Jin Wu also seconded; he had just been sending messages to the Empress but got no reply, leaving him uneasy.

Together with the Dragon Crown Prince's report, the Empress's Majesty likely faces more misfortune than fortune.

But Shen Kuo gave them no answer; in fact, the moment he descended to the Eastern Sea, his divine sense had already probed into Penglai Island!

Upon entry, he felt a clear obstruction; had his cultivation not vastly improved, he'd likely have been blocked outside.

Yet he did not find his wife!

Minglan…

'Good.'

Having withdrawn his divine sense, Shen Kuo agreed to their request.

He also inferred from the Dragon Crown Prince's report that the newcomers harbor ill intent!

Moreover, they are very likely the Three Pure Mystic Maiden who descended from the Three Pure Heavens last time, an existence capable of crushing the gods of the divine realm.

Shen Kuo immediately drew the Fu Xi Eight Trigrams diagram, enveloping himself, the Dragon Crown Prince, and Jin Wu, and said, 'In critical moments I may not be able to look after you, but understand.'

Meaning, Zhong Minglan is more important than you!

If needed, he will certainly rescue Zhong Minglan first, so prepare yourselves mentally.

'Understood!'

The Dragon Crown Prince immediately responded.

Jin Wu was even more eager!

The three instantly entered Penglai Island.

But this time—

Heaven Fighting Mother noticed.

She frowned slightly, "Even in the False God Realm, someone can break my seal?"

This place is really getting more and more interesting; it seems she truly didn't come wrong.

No wonder Qiu Xuan keeps losing, with so many variables, and that child is so stupid—how could they not fail?

But she herself has come, so it's impossible to fail again!

"Zhong Minglan, don't hide."

"I know you can hear me."

"Don't you want to know how your daughter Shen Qingli is?"

Heaven Fighting Mother launched a psychological attack on Zhong Minglan.

"She's not good."

"As soon as she went up, she offended my Heavenly God Clan, not to mention she also offended the other four Heavenly God Clans, making everyone her enemy."

"And although your son-in-law is strong, his family looks down on your daughter; they early on forcibly took your son-in-law back to their clan, not allowing them to be together."

So, your daughter in the Three Pure Heavens finds every step difficult, like a stray dog, everyone hunts her! Don't you want to help her?

As long as you come out and hand over your body to me, I can swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, I will definitely look out for your sake and take good care of your daughter.

Heaven Fighting Mother clearly knows Zhong Minglan surely loves Shen Qingli; once a person has love, they will surely act foolishly—what she needs is for Zhong Minglan to act foolishly.

At this moment, as long as Zhong Minglan's emotions fluctuate, Heaven Fighting Mother has confidence to capture her last divine thought and completely erase it.

But Zhong Minglan didn't move a thought.

It's as if all she said was like a turtle chanting sutras; Zhong Minglan basically didn't hear a word.

"Don't believe me?"

Heaven Fighting Mother sighed inwardly.

This is actually not a fool.

Then she can only bring out evidence.

Fortunately!

She has evidence.

Last time, when the five clan chiefs surrounded and killed Shen Qingli, she had used a recording talisman.

"You look yourself."

Heaven Fighting Mother had no choice but to expend her soul power, projecting this recording into Zhong Minglan's sea of consciousness.

Even if it's the Ancestor of Heavenly Clarity, when he saw Shen Qingli being cut down in an instant, he went mad!

Heaven Fighting Mother doesn't believe that, as the birth mother of Shen Qingli, she would have no ripple.

She guessed right.

Zhong Minglan is not Zhao Yue.

She loves Shen Qingli so much.

So, at the moment of seeing Shen Qingli being hacked to bits!

Even if her mind tells her it's definitely fake! Little Pretty is absolutely not dead yet! She knows that.

But a mother's instinct made her feel heartache and pain.

"Found you."

Heaven Fighting Mother's smiling voice sounded.
