Chapter 199 Lost Country Blessing (2/2)
He suddenly looked towards his officials and sternly commanded, ”Quick, immediately send men to the Saint Remains Domain and find the crown prince. They must ensure his safety!”
...
The Great Zhou Empire.
In the royal palace, Zhou Qing was accompanying Qin Yu for a stroll in the flower park. His footsteps suddenly paused, somewhat bewildered as he lifted his head in uncertainty.
Genesis Qi surged in his eyes, and he immediately saw a peculiar presence appear out of nowhere with a sudden surge of Qi. The presence flew about for a moment before making itself comfortable, taking on the shape of a dragon.
At this moment, the Genesis Qi in the entire Great Zhou Empire seemed to become a little more lively and robust.
Zhou Qing was stunned and involuntarily cried out, ”This, this is a country blessing?!”
Back in its golden age, the Great Zhou Empire naturally possessed a country blessing. It was only later on after the Wu clan's rebellion, when the Great Zhou Empire had weakened that its country blessing dissipated substantially, the tiny bit left bitterly persevering.
Who could have imagined that it would appear again today?!
Zhou Qing blankly stared at this scene. Moments later, his eyes reddened as he said in a trembling voice, ”It's Yuan'er!”
”Yuan'er must have taken back the sacred dragon blessing!”
”Yuan'er was headed for the Saint Remains Domain. He must have encountered Wu Huang and taken back a portion of the sacred dragon blessing from him!”
Zhou Qing was quickly able to make some conjectures. Still a little in disbelief, he grabbed Qin Yu's hand and excitedly said, ”Yuan'er must have defeated Wu Huang!”
”It that true?!”
Qin Yu also found this unbelievable, but was so overjoyed that tears began gathering in her eyes. She had been worrying about Zhou Yuan ever since he had left. After all, only the elite geniuses journeyed to the Saint Remains Domain, and Zhou Yuan was undoubtedly lacking somewhat compared to them.
However, she had just heard that he had defeated Wu Huang...
Zhou Qing forcefully nodded his head. ”Or else the country guardian dragon Qi would not possibly appear in the Great Zhou Empire!”
He could not help but laugh heartily, those usually tiger like eyes now flooding with uncontrollable tears.
”Excellent! Excellent! Let's see who still dares to say our Yuan'er is the crippled dragon of the Zhou clan!”
For the past few years, he had been under tremendous pressure from king Wu and the Great Wu Empire. He had painstakingly tried to hold the Great Zhou Empire together, but each day was filled with darkness, not the slightest ray of hope to be seen.
In addition, Zhou Qing's failure to protect Zhou Yuan and allow such a calamity to befall him at his birth was something Zhou Qing deeply reproached himself for.
All till now...
He raised his head and looked towards the direction of the Great Wu Empire, as if seeing king Wu's enraged appearance.
”King Wu… you believed that taking my son's sacred dragon blessing would plummet him into an endless abyss…”
”You believed that you had already won, right?”
”However, it seems…”
”That you still haven't won completely!”
”And my Great Zhou has not lost completely either!”
...
An old, ancient hall sat on a certain mountain peak, mists swirling around it.
In a pavilion within, a young lady in purple opened her long and narrow eyes. Her beautiful face was peculiarly bewitching, the potential to charm anyone already visible even at such a young age.
Especially her presence, n.o.ble and mysterious like a phoenix.
This was clearly the Great Wu Empire's Wu Yao.
She had just moments ago faintly felt that something had happened.
The young lady indifferently muttered to herself, ”Wu Huang… I told you that you will sooner or later lose due to your pride and arrogance.”
She was Wu Huang's twin, and had also obtained a portion of the sacred dragon blessing which naturally allowed her to sense the changes in it.
Evidently, Wu Huang had lost.
Moreover, he had last to the so-called crippled dragon from the Great Zhou Empire.
However, Wu Yao did not really feel anything towards Wu Huang's loss and the subsequent seizure of the sacred dragon blessing.
Because she was a cold and aloof person.
In addition, she could detect the abnormal love Wu Huang had towards her, something that she was not fond of at all.
”Zhou Yuan…”
She softly said his name. Soon after, a bewitching smile rose from the corners of her red lips as she softly said, ”It seems that you truly are that sacred dragon. Even after falling into a dark abyss, you still managed to crawl back out…”
Her gaze lifted slightly, as if piercing through s.p.a.ce to see a certain figure in Cangxuan Heaven.
”I know that you want to take back all of the sacred dragon blessing, right? What a coincidence. The truth is that I too plan on enjoying the blessing alone…”
Wu Yao's slender fingers gently lifted the fine black hair that hung over her cheek, her dignified looking eyes slowly closing as a faint voice seemed to sound.
”Zhou Yuan, keep on growing even stronger… because the day we eventually meet will be the day I devour you…”
”You should take care. After all, I am not an idiot like Wu Huang…”
”Heehee…”
