"I wonder how Elder You is doing now?" Lu Ming asked with concern.

"Elder Lu Ming was seriously injured by the Dragon King, but thanks to the effects of the Supreme Heaven-Mending Pill, the damage to his soul has healed considerably."

Elder Wang offered words of comfort.

"It won't take too long. You'll be able to see him once Vice Alliance Leader You's injuries have mostly healed."

He is currently in seclusion to recuperate.

Lu Ming gently put down the spirit tea in his hand.

He smiled and said, "I wonder if Alliance Leader Chen is still in the alliance. I would like to pay him a visit."

Elder Wang looked troubled.

He put the dispatch booklet he was holding aside.

"It's not that I'm unwilling to inform you! It's just that the Alliance Leader has gone out."

Lu Ming seemed to be deep in thought.

The threat posed by the Dragon King has been resolved by Alliance Leader Chen. Not only that, but from another perspective...

Only Chen Wentian himself knows that the Dragon King has submitted to him.

The sea creatures' army may not yet know this.

The sea creatures' army is currently 5,000 miles outside the city, and they will not attack without the Dragon King's order.

Even when other demon kings discover this, the Dragon King's army might still be able to hold them off for a while.

The Dragon King's army was one of the strongest in the Sea Emperor's ranks.

It should be no problem to stop other demon king armies.

Even if Leader Chen goes out to handle business now, it won't be a problem.

The matter that Chen Mengqiang wanted to handle was nothing more than this.

He simply wanted to thank Chen Wentian in person and, at the same time, wanted to resign and return to Yuzhou as soon as possible.

If Qingzhou launches a counterattack, I shouldn't even think about it.

The Sea Emperor is still deploying his troops.

As for the situation in Yuzhou, I am naturally very anxious right now.

I wonder if the Ming Dynasty's support has arrived yet.

Although the two remaining people in Yuzhou were not good people, the people of Yuzhou were so innocent!

If Yuzhou were occupied by another demon king, given the personalities of the other two, it would be a great blessing if they didn't abandon the city and flee. You can't expect them to have the most ordinary mortal heart.

That's something you shouldn't even think about.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming could no longer sit still.

"Elder Wang, to be honest, I sought out Alliance Leader Chen to leave and return to Yuzhou as soon as possible."

Lu Ming did not hide his intentions and stated his plan directly.

"Your injuries have just healed, why are you returning to Yuzhou so soon?"

Elder Wang was somewhat puzzled.

"Get yourself into the best possible condition, and it will be good to wait for Leader Chen to return."

Lu Ming shook his head bitterly.

"But I came to Qingzhou to deliver the message in order to reduce the casualties among the cultivators in Qingzhou."

Now that the Dragon King has been defeated, he will definitely not attack Qingzhou anytime soon.

However, Yuzhou is currently defenseless. As one of the only three Nascent Soul cultivators left in Yuzhou, it is my duty to protect the people of Yuzhou.

Other demon kings wouldn't give up the rich territory of Yuzhou. I won't give up even an inch of land if I can reclaim it.

Upon hearing this, Elder Wang couldn't help but feel endless respect for Elder Lu Ming before him.

It is thanks to selfless cultivators like Elder Lu Ming and Alliance Leader Chen that these low-level cultivators can find a place of peace in this chaotic world.

"Elder Lu Ming, if you return to Yuzhou, I will definitely inform Alliance Leader Chen of this matter after he returns."

"I'm just unaware of the current situation in Yuzhou. If Elder Lu Ming needs anything, I can inform Vice Alliance Leader Hongming right now and have you take the necessary supplies back to Yuzhou."

Elder Wang sincerely conveyed his proposal to Lu Ming.

In any case, Qingzhou is in a much better situation than Yuzhou now.

Thank you very much.

Lu Ming didn't have many requests, he just hoped that Elder Wang would tell him about the combined formation.

After all, there are still quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators in Yuzhou.

When they actually encounter the Demon King, this combined formation will be their trump card to defeat him.

Elder Wang didn't sit idly by either; he relayed Lu Ming's request to Hongming.

Hongming sought You Mengtian's opinion and readily informed Luming of this method of combining forces.

After all, this is a special time for slaying the Demon King, so there's no need to be so secretive.

A few days later, a treasure ship loaded with supplies slowly departed Hongjiang City, heading towards Yuzhou.

What will become of the monks on the ship is up to fate.

However, they were completely different from when they arrived. They were less lifeless and more spirited.

Yuzhou, their hometown, the nurse who guarded it has returned.

Meanwhile, Chen Wentian, led by Ao Huang, had already headed to the Western Sea to search for Xia Anyu's whereabouts.

The day after finishing the Supreme Heaven-Mending Pill, Chen Tianwen went to Ao Huang's camp, five thousand miles away, without any hesitation.

Ao Huang's garrison had quite a few demon generals, and the bustling troops were packed together in a large group.

When their demon king returned the day before yesterday, he simply ordered them to retreat five thousand miles.

But no one knows why this order was given.

Only the Turtle Prime Minister remained in the Dragon King's palace that day.

So these past few days, these demon generals have been eagerly awaiting the return of the Turtle Prime Minister to explain their demon king's unusual behavior.

Especially the three-headed shark.

It is the general who has been conquering cities and fortresses these days, and also the new favorite in the heart of the Dragon King.

Why didn't the Dragon King attack it? It was more anxious than all the other monsters.

Fresh cultivator blood is essential for its advancement.

When Chen Tianwen first arrived, he listened to its constant complaints.

"Why hasn't Prime Minister Turtle returned yet? I wonder why the King suddenly ordered the abandonment of the attack on Hongjiang City's defenses."

“Hongjiang City has several Nascent Soul cultivators.”

"What are a few Nascent Soul cultivators? Our Demon King can devour all these human cultivators in one bite."

"And what about human cultivators' Nascent Soul stage? I've heard that Nascent Souls are crunchy when you eat them."

Discussions continued.

These sea creatures have really eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard; it seems that their great victory in Yuzhou gave them courage beyond their capabilities.

They dared to so brazenly claim to eat human cultivators in the heart of the land.

“Ao Huang, appear before me in a quarter of an hour.”

Chen Tianwen didn't listen to the idle chatter of these lowly sea creatures, as they were the future fighting force against the Sea Emperor.

It's better to keep them alive.

After sending the message, Chen Tianwen closed his eyes to rest.

On the other side, Ao Huang heard Chen Tianwen's summons and paced anxiously in his palace.

Large beads of sweat kept appearing on its forehead, and its pale cheeks betrayed its anxiety.

The Turtle Prime Minister ignored the Dragon King's summons and rushed over without hesitation.

The Dragon King has been in a bad mood these past few days, so I need to hurry over and support him.
