From the Valkyrie to the Endless

…………

South China Sea, a remote and deserted island.

"you……"

Looking at the nearly a hundred divine lights shining on Shen Qing's body, Lu Xunfeng was dumbfounded and couldn't recover for a long time.

In two days, he opened up more than eighty sacred places, which made him doubt himself for a moment.

Is it really difficult to open the divine treasure?

"If you are lucky enough to make a breakthrough, I will definitely protect you and return to Zidian Tianzong safely."

Shen Qing's eyes curved slightly. After more than five hundred years of deduction, the gains she had obtained were naturally extremely astonishing. Her fighting power had undergone a horrifying transformation. With the blessing of the divine power in her body, she now dared to confront ordinary demon kings head-on.

The power of time is too terrifying. This difference between heaven and earth can only be caused by the passage of time.

This is equivalent to Shen Qing returning after more than 500 years of hard training. Naturally, the difference is enormous.

Lu Xunfeng calmed himself down and suppressed the shock in his heart. He now understood why True Lord Qingyun and the other seniors chose this December. This woman must be hiding an extremely shocking secret.

It would be a lie to say that he was not curious about the secrets of Shen Qing, but Lu Xunfeng had enough self-control not to ask. Sometimes asking too many questions would only cause a rift in the still harmonious relationship.

"The sect master's message has come back. He has decided to unite with three great cultivators in the True Unity Realm to directly ambush and kill Xuanling Divine Lord and pave the way for you. From now on, you can take his place."

After saying that, Lu Xunfeng shook his head slightly and pulled the corners of his mouth, but for a moment he couldn't smile: "Originally, I was worried that you were not strong enough to suppress the situation, but now it seems that there is no such worry."

Shen Qing was slightly surprised. She had not expected that True Lord Qingyun would be so decisive and use the simplest and most direct method to help her get rid of the biggest obstacle in front of her.

As long as he can kill Lord Xuanling, with Shen Qing's current strength, it is not impossible for him to completely take over Lord Xuanling's territory and swallow up the four prefectures.

"This method is extremely risky. You must be present. Only when you are present, someone will continue the incense and the power of the wish will not arouse the suspicion of the Nine Nether Saint King."

Lu Xunfeng reminded him, and then said: "Since you already have this strength, why don't we return to the South Region as soon as possible to avoid more trouble at night."

Shen Qing's eyes were a little excited, and he whispered, "It would be a pity to come back empty-handed after such a trip. Brother, do you dare to go to the Dragon Palace under the sea with me?"

"This...I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

In order to maintain attendance, this is really a helpless move. I'm sorry.

148. Chapter 148 The Demon King Returns

148.

2023-08-07

Lu Xunfeng looked a little hesitant. How could it be so easy to break into the Dragon Palace under the sea? That was a real dragon pond with real dragons in it.

Now that Shen Qing has achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation, the most important thing is to return safely. There is no need to create unnecessary trouble.

"Brother Dao, you can wait for me here. I'll be back soon."

Before he could open his mouth to dissuade him, Shen Qing had already stepped out of the cave, rose from the ground, and fell into the ocean.

Now she has opened nearly a hundred divine treasures in her body. Although she is no match for the Dragon King of the South China Sea, she has the sundial in her hand, so it is not difficult for her to escape.

Lu Xunfeng sighed softly and followed helplessly.

…………

The scenery under the ocean is completely different from that above the sea. It is very quiet and there is not much noise.

From time to time, high-pitched hums could be heard through the sea water and reached Shen Qing's ears. It seemed as if they were thousands of miles away, ethereal and distant.

The sea is too vast, and there are many nests of big monsters. It is not easy to find the Dragon Palace among them.

But Shen Qing hadn't originally planned to look for it herself. After entering the water, she directly captured a fourth-level sea monster, hid in its mouth, used it as a mount, and headed towards the Dragon Palace in the South China Sea.

One day passed in the blink of an eye.

Nearing the Dragon Palace, Shen Qing released the fourth-level siren and expelled it from the sea area.

Originally, Shen Qing didn't want to let it go, but he was worried that the smell of blood would alert the demon kings in advance, so he spared its life.

Before their eyes was a bottomless dark blue ocean. The two men restrained their breath and moved forward stealthily. Suddenly, a hazy light overflowed from the sea not far away, and abundant spiritual energy roamed freely in the sea.

After passing an underwater rock peak, the scene in front of them suddenly lit up and a towering palace appeared in front of them. The atmosphere was ancient and mysterious, and the clear sea water reflected colorful light under the illumination of the palace.

The walls of the entire palace are inlaid with countless pearls and seven-colored gems, full of spiritual energy and shining brightly.

The palace is built with countless pearls and colorful jades, which is dazzling and extremely luxurious.

Perhaps the Dragon King of the South China Sea was confident in his own strength. For a moment, Shen Qing did not feel any spiritual patterns. Even the lowest level spiritual formation had not been set up. Now, this magnificent palace lying in the lightless deep sea was like a treasure waiting to be excavated.

"Seriously want to go?"

Robbing the Dragon Palace in a sea area, even though Lu Xunfeng was very brave, he was still a little scared at the moment. On the way here, he tried to persuade him again, but three times the limit is enough. If he tried to persuade him again, he would seem a little timid.

Now that the Dragon Palace was in front of him, his heartbeat began to accelerate involuntarily. The invisible sense of crisis made his blood boil and he began to gradually become excited.

"nature."

Shen Qing kept walking and slowly moved forward.

As the distance got closer, Shen Qing was slightly surprised that her spiritual sense did not sense any aura of the demon king.

"Strange, in this South Sea Dragon Palace, not only is there no spiritual formation, why is there not even a demon king?"

After a moment of hesitation, Shen Qing did not hesitate any more and headed straight for the Dragon Palace.

It's not her style to look back and forth when she reaches the door.

Guarding the gate were two fourth-order sea beasts that looked like mastiffs. They were nine feet tall at the shoulder and more than ten feet long. They were covered in black scales, had fins on their limbs and backs, and had a mouth full of sharp teeth that flashed a cold light.

woo-

Sensing Shen Qing's approach, the water mastiff let out two consecutive long, high-pitched moans, carrying a strong warning tone.

Their skills were not yet good enough to speak, so they could only roar and shout.

Shen Qing's body was glowing with light, and surging divine energy flowed through many of his divine treasures. He stepped forward, raised his palm and pushed sideways.

An endless undercurrent suddenly rose up from the calm seabed, and the terrifying force penetrated through the sea water, pressing the two water mastiffs to death against the gate of the Dragon Palace. A moment later, the layers of powerful palm power crushed them into a pool of bloody mud.

Shen Qing didn't hesitate at all. He stepped to the front of the palace gate, then raised his leg and kicked the palace door open.

The defenses in the palace were unimaginably weak. Apart from two fifth-order green dragons and some rotten fish and shrimps, there was no other character worth noting.

However, within a short period of time, the Dragon Palace that had just been awakened returned to silence. A strong smell of blood rose from the bottom of the sea, was diluted by the sea water, and disappeared in an instant.

The entire Dragon Palace was not big, and Shen Qing quickly searched it all over and found the location of the treasure house.

The door to the treasury was also unguarded and opened easily with a push.

The moment the door opened, the dazzling light dazzled Shen Qing for a moment.

The demon king who rules over an area is extremely rich. Most of the building materials of the entire treasury are spirit stones. The spirit veins hidden under the sea are far more numerous than those on land.

However, this spiritual vein hidden deep under the sea has undergone some changes due to absorbing too much water essence, which will produce some adverse effects on cultivators who practice fire-based techniques.

The layout of the treasury is quite messy. In addition to the mountains of spirit stones, there are even spirit coins circulated in the ancient dynasties. There are also palaces of the ancient dynasties engraved on top. In addition, there are also some magic weapons.

The largest number of them are some rare elixirs that grow on the seabed. They are very old, at least thousands or even tens of thousands of years old, and have strong medicinal properties.

Shen Qing took away half of it without hesitation, and then looked at Lu Xunfeng:

"The remaining half belongs to Brother Dao."

Until this moment, Lu Xunfeng was still a little dazed. After hearing Shen Qing's words, he suddenly reacted and waved his hands repeatedly:

"Just take all of it. You don't have to give me half. I just came along to take a look. I haven't been able to help you in any way."

The treasure house before him was much richer and more substantial than the treasure house of his Zi Dian Tian Sect. Even if he only took half of it, it would be like moving an entire sect's treasure house back. It was too generous a gift.

"You and I are in the same boat. It's better for you to accept it. I can't let you watch me eat alone."

Shen Qing didn't care much about it. She turned around and left, and began to search for the remaining treasures in the Dragon Palace. Basically, anything with some spiritual energy was dug out by her, and she even did not let go of the pearls embedded in the wall.

Finally, if the storage bracelet could not hold all the items, Shen Qing would have even wanted to tear down the walls of the Dragon Palace to take them away.

Shen Qing's movements were very quick, like a gust of wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and he finished the cleaning in less than a moment.

Finally, she stood before the Dragon Palace and wrote with her pen, leaving behind the name of December.

"Do I still need to leave my name?" Looking at Shen Qing's actions, Lu Xunfeng felt a little numb on his scalp.

Not only did he plunder the Dragon Palace, but he also left his name behind. This was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Dragon King.

"If I don't let him know who did it, my trip here would be in vain."

This was not just a spur of the moment move by Shen Qing to leave her name. It would be best if she could completely arouse the Dragon King's murderous intent and come to the Southern Region to find her. By then, she could contact several True Lords and keep him in the Southern Region forever.

After leaving his name, Shen Qing did not stay here for long and started the return journey with Lu Xunfeng.

Now we still don’t know where those demon kings have gone. Having gained the advantage, the best strategy is to leave as soon as possible.

…………

…………

The next day.

Several black shadows cut through the sky and fell into the vast ocean. In a flash, they arrived in front of the Dragon Palace.

All the spiritual jades, gems and night pearls were dug away. The once brilliant palace has now become dark, without a trace of light.

Looking at the ruined Dragon Palace, the Dragon King of the South China Sea glanced at the words "December" and slowly came to the treasury. He looked at the emptied treasury with a calm expression.

On the way back, he passed through the Southern Region and had already found out the identities of those people.

"December……"

"You shameless little thief, how dare you..."

In December, a mere cultivator in the Shenzang realm was so unscrupulous that he treated the Demon King as nothing.

He might have to break his promise. Even if there is a god who wants to protect this girl, he will kill him as soon as possible.

"Immediately gather your demon soldiers and generals. I will flood the southern region and make sure these villains die without a burial place."

The Dragon King of the South China Sea turned around with an indifferent expression. The pain of losing his son and everything before his eyes had dealt him an indescribable blow. He could no longer stay in the Dragon Palace even for a moment.
