Chapter 729 Fatal Crisis
“King of Bashan? What are you doing?”

When Xiaoyu turned around, she saw the king in robes with a smile on his face.

She had actually been aware of his presence before.

He did not hide his figure, but floated above the Donghu camp, silently observing the situation on the battlefield like her.

It’s just that its location is relatively high and its traces are obscured by the breeze, so if you don’t pay close attention, it’s easy to overlook it.

He first showed a few conflicted expressions, and then “quietly” ran away towards the east, which was also partly for King Bashan to see.

She thought this half-demon was a little strange.

Everything was strange, the way she felt when facing him, his attitude towards her, his reaction to the Snow Mountain Patriarch being besieged – she had clearly shouted “King Bashan, please come to our aid quickly” before, but this guy didn’t react at all.

“The battlefield situation is very unfavorable to Donghu. The Snow Mountain Ancestor might meet with an accident. Does King Bashan have any way to reverse the situation?” She deliberately showed some embarrassment of being discovered while escaping.

King Bashan shook his head and said, “Since the annihilation of Zuoguli King Xiuge’s entire army, the defeat of Donghu has been basically determined.

There is only a slim chance to maintain the basic situation, for example, breaking Daiyi City, or killing Meng Yi in battle.

Unfortunately, God’s will did not seem to be on the Donghu’s side, and they missed several opportunities.

At this point, Juyong Pass was completely lost, Meng Yi’s tens of thousands of elite cavalry blocked the retreat, and the plague spread rapidly in the Donghu camp. Alas, in such a situation, this king is powerless to save the situation. The outcome is set, no one can help. “

Xiao Yu deliberately showed anger, “Before at Juyong Pass, I called on you to support the Snow Mountain Patriarch, why did you not respond?”

King Bashan laughed and said, “Didn’t you turn around and run away without even making a single move? It was obvious that the army was defeated like a mountain collapsing and retreating like an avalanche, but you managed to escape without a scratch. This shows how sharp your reaction was and how fast you ran away.”

Xiao Yu seemed to have been humiliated beyond endurance, and angrily said: “I had planned to resist to the end, and I had already landed at the city gate, ready to call on General Donghu to form an army.

If King Bashan comes to stop us and rescue Snow Mountain Patriarch from the Qin army’s siege, perhaps we can regroup.

If you hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have known how to defend the city. When I saw the army approaching, I panicked and could only flee.”

King Bashan was speechless. This old demon was so shameless that he even said “I feel panicky” without any shame.

“When you see the Meng family army, you will feel panic. I was born by my mother and raised by my father, so I am afraid too!”

Xiao Yu seemed to be possessed by the “martyr Xue Ling” and accused him unceremoniously: “Can Taoist friend compare with me?

I am a casual cultivator from the Western Regions, and I truly do not understand the art of war and the art of military formations.

Fellow Daoist, as the great king of the Jinpeng Dynasty, he must be extremely skilled in military tactics, just like the Great Chanyu Kebinen.

It is normal for me to feel nervous, but if you say you feel nervous, you are lying.”

The smile on King Bashan’s face faded, and he said unhappily: “You didn’t kill a single Qin man, and I didn’t use a single move either. We are all the same. No matter how much I say, I can’t appear more righteous.”

After a pause, he sneered again: “But what Daoyou said is right, you and I are different after all.

You are a retainer of the King of Donghu, but I am here as a real guest.

Our Jinpeng Dynasty is a staunch ally of the Xiongnu. If the Donghu people are in trouble, I am happy to see it happen!”

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then he softened his tone and said, “I know very well what kind of person I am.

Benevolence, righteousness, and morality have never been my thing.

But I really can’t accept this.

The Great Chanyu Kebi Neng is good to me. I want to curry your favor and am willing to serve him like a slave.

But the situation is like this. Alas, King Bashan, please forgive me. This situation has nothing to do with you. It is God’s will. “

After saying that, she bowed to him, turned around and continued flying north.

“Fellow Daoist, don’t leave so quickly!” King Bashan shouted.

Xiao Yu stopped and turned around to ask, “The fate of Donghu is already determined, why is Your Majesty still calling me for something?”

King Bashan asked, “Where are you going, fellow Taoist?”

Xiao Yu hesitated and said, “Although I don’t care much about my reputation, it is really embarrassing for me to abandon Ke Bineng today, and I don’t have the face to go back to the north.

There is no definite place to go. Well, let’s go to the East China Sea first!

I also want to show my great power and turn the tide today, because I am best at water magic.

There are no big rivers in the north, so I am just a dragon swimming in the shallows.

I went to the East China Sea and turned rivers and seas upside down to display my magical powers. At least, I would let the world know that I, Long Yang, am not just famous for nothing, but I was just unlucky and never had the chance to display my magical powers.”

King Bashan laughed, “Since you want to overturn the rivers and seas, why not go to the North Sea? The East Sea is the territory of human immortals, and there is no telling how many immortal islands are hidden there! The North Sea is our playground.”

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, “No matter how many reasons you have, I will abandon you. It will give me a bad reputation and I am afraid that my peers will laugh at me.

Even if the 300,000-strong Donghu army was completely wiped out, an immortal who had mastered Qi training like Yuwen Bo would definitely be able to retreat safely.

Many of Yuwen Bo and his companions are Qi Refiners from the North Sea.

Now that the King of Donghu is dead, they will most likely return to the North Sea.

Alas, if I met them in Beihai, wouldn’t it be embarrassing? “

King Bashan said: “I invite you to the North Sea. You are the honored guest of the Golden Roc Dynasty. Who dares to ridicule me?”

Xiao Yu gave him a strange look and said slowly, “I am speaking the truth, King Bashan, please don’t mind.

I just met the Snow Mountain Ancestor today. He is courting death by relying on the antique military experience from more than 10,000 years ago to force his way into Meng Yi’s contemporary military formation. I have absolutely no reason to go crazy with him.

But the Snow Mountain Ancestor has known you for many years, and you never gave him any advice from beginning to end, nor did you lend a hand at the critical moment.

The Donghu army is about to be wiped out. I, an outsider who has known Ke Bineng for less than three days, feel grief and heartache, but you are still indifferent.

Now, I’m trying my best to invite a fairy I just met to go to the North Sea, hehehe~~~”

King Bashan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, “If you don’t explain clearly, my attitude towards you is indeed a little strange.”

He looked around and pointed to Jundu Mountain in the northeast, saying, “Today is a clear day. If we continue to talk here, we might be seen by the immortals of Shenzhou. It would be troublesome if they pester us. We should go to a secluded place on the mountain.

Daoist friend, you can rest assured. This king not only has no ill intentions, but also has a great opportunity for you! “Xiao Yu was surprised and nodded, “This is indeed not a good place to talk, King Bashan, please follow me.”

King Bashan’s eyes flashed, and he realized that she still had doubts about him and was worried about leading her into an ambush.

“Please come in, fellow Taoist.” He smiled slightly and let her lead the way.

Xiaoyu was fast and his magic eyes could see far, so he soon “pressed down the clouds” on a hillside a hundred miles away.

Juyongguan is located in the Yanshan Mountains.

The place she was looking for was still within the Yanshan Mountains, covered with snow, with tall pines and cypresses, and a cold spring falling from the mountain nearby.

The scenery is average, but it is quiet.

King Bashan took out a precious pearl from his sleeve. The pearl was as transparent as glass, with a ball of scarlet sealed in the center.

Xiaoyu’s heart began to pound at the sight of that little bit of red, and the blood in his veins seemed to be rushing forward as if it were under pressure from a water pump.

The sound of blood flowing seemed to echo in her ears.

Seeing the old demon’s cheeks begin to turn red, King Bashan showed a smile of satisfaction and pride, “Do you understand now, fellow Taoist?”

“What is this?” Xiaoyu said in a hoarse voice.

Her emotions were almost boiling at this moment, but her mood was very contradictory.

She was both extremely eager and inexplicably afraid of the bright red inside the crystal bead.

There is also a kind of panic that has nothing to do with beads or bright red.

It was as if there was another Xiaoyu, shouting loudly in the bottom of her heart: Run, stay away from King Bashan, stay away from Jambudvīpa!

“This is a drop of Kunpeng’s blood.” King Bashan said meaningfully.

“It’s Kunpeng’s blood~~”

Xiaoyu exclaimed in surprise, and felt a little enlightened, but also a little confused.

As early as when she awakened Kunpeng’s magical powers, she was certain that she had Kunpeng’s bloodline.

Now that it’s confirmed, she’s not surprised.

——Why would one feel panic and a sense of crisis after seeing Kunpeng’s blood essence? Where does the crisis come from?

“Whose Kunpeng’s blood essence is this? Why is this so poor…” Her expression was tangled, “I feel both familiar and afraid.”

“Hahaha, this is the fingertip blood of the ‘Three Holy Ancestors’. If you are not kind, it means that Kunpeng’s blood essence is extremely shallow.

If you are not afraid, it means that your bloodline is purer and more ancient than that of the Three Holy Ancestors.

But how is this possible?

The Third Saint Ancestor is the ‘Ancestor of the Sky Peng’, and all of us Dapeng are his descendants.” King Bashan laughed.

——But what I fear is not this drop of blood itself!

Could it be that my Kunpeng bloodline is really purer and more ancient than that of the “Three Holy Ancestors”?
Xiaoyu didn’t know who the Three Holy Ancestors were, and she was always worried about an inexplicable crisis, so she didn’t feel happy or proud about it.

“Excuse me, who is the ‘Three Holy Ancestors’? I am ignorant and have been wandering in Xiniu Hezhou for many years, but I have never heard of the name of the Ancestor of Tianpeng.”

No matter what she thought in her heart, her face must show respect and admiration.

“Three Holy Ancestors~~~” King Bashan shouted loudly with pride on his face, then suddenly closed his mouth, looked around vigilantly, and said in a low voice: “I almost forgot that this is the territory of Shenzhou, not the northern grasslands, let alone the North Sea.

Our ancestor is of extraordinary status, we must not be too ostentatious!”

Then he lowered his voice and looked even more proud, “The Third Saint Ancestor is the ruler of Beiming State, the guardian of Beiming Sea, and the third disciple of Demon Master Kunpeng.”

“Ah, Demon Master Kunpeng!” Xiaoyu was really shocked this time.

She had never heard of Beiming Province, and she had no idea about the guardian of the Beiming Sea, but she knew the demon master Kunpeng!

——Oops, I was targeted by Demon Master Kunpeng. The inexplicable crisis must come from Demon Master Kunpeng! But why?
Hearing about the relationship between the Three Holy Ancestors and the Demon Master Kunpeng, Xiao Yu immediately had an idea. He didn’t understand the reason, but he determined the source of the inexplicable crisis.

“Why is the Third Saint Patriarch looking for me? What virtue and ability have I possessed to deserve his concern?” she murmured.

Although this statement is not entirely from the heart, the feeling of being flattered is real.

Why would the demon master Kunpeng target a small follower like her?
At the moment, she can only be said to be slightly famous. It will take a year or so for her to become famous in China, perhaps after the end of the Northern Frontier War, and “Fairy Feiyu” will be able to become famous in the circle of Qigong practitioners in China.

But this is still billions of miles away from alarming the demon master Kunpeng!
Is there something wrong with the Kunpeng bloodline in her body?

If what King Bashan said was accurate and not exaggerated: if she did not feel fear when facing the blood on the fingertips of the ancestor of Tianpeng, it was because her Kunpeng bloodline was more original and ancient than the other’s, then where did her bloodline come from?
The Third Holy Ancestor is the third disciple of the Demon Master, who is even older and more original than him. It seems that only the Demon Master Kunpeng himself is left?
She is the descendant of the demon master Kunpeng, and her parents, the Shamanzi, are the direct descendants of the demon master?

Or maybe after she traveled through time and space, the blood of the Shaman with the thin blood of Kunpeng underwent a mutation?
Become more pure? Or become unable to feel the majesty of the “Three Holy Ancestors”?

“Hahaha~~”

King Bashan laughed heartily again, and when he looked at Xiaoyu, there was an inexplicable arrogance and contempt in his eyes, “Daoyou, you are a little self-righteous. This drop of Saint Ancestor’s blood is not prepared for you alone.

It can even be said that a bastard like you who has a thin bloodline——”

Xiao Yu’s expression immediately changed, and he said angrily: “Even if you want to ridicule me for being ignorant, why do you have to say such hurtful words?”

King Bashan was stunned for a moment before he realized that she was angered by the “bastard”.

He smiled bitterly, “Fellow Daoist, you have misunderstood. I am not trying to humiliate you. I am also a hybrid of human and demon. How can I be qualified to mock you?
‘Bastard’ is just stating a fact.

Neither you nor I are pure-blooded Kunpeng. Your true nature is more like a dragon, isn’t it?

The Three Holy Ancestors were originally only looking for offspring with purer blood and the appearance of Kunpeng.

The standards have just been lowered recently, and descendants like you with thin blood and no obvious Kunpeng characteristics are also qualified to practice in the North Sea.”

Then he told Xiaoyu in detail the instructions of the Three Holy Ancestors and the purpose of preserving the fortune of the Kunpeng clan.

Of course, although he spoke in detail and obtained first-hand information from Peng Saner, what he described was not even the routine words that the demon master Kunpeng used to fool Peng Saner.
