Eastern Emperor Realm, Zhongzhou.

The war among the princes that has lasted for hundreds of years has now reached a fever pitch.

The North State, which had been in a weak position and vulnerable, and the South State, which had been quietly licking its wounds, immediately became majestic after the East State dragons joined.

Located in the heart of the continent and surrounded on three fronts, Zhongzhou was the first to be hit and was quickly defeated. It was only with the continuous support from Xizhou that it was able to retreat to its defense line step by step.

However, the pressure within Xizhou is also enormous.

In the past wars among the princes, in the early stage, the White Tiger of Western Province joined forces with the Qilin of Central Province to attack the Feather Tribe of Southern Province, and in the later stage, they attacked the Kun Tribe of Northern Province. It was basically a two-on-one situation.

The reason is that the South State and the North State are too far apart and lack sufficient trust in each other, so they have never established a deep alliance.

The Dongzhou Dragon Clan, which meets these conditions, often wavers in neutrality and tries to avoid taking sides or expressing their views because of the opportunism and inaction of the Canglong ancestor.

This kind of world situation was originally extremely favorable to Western Province... until Eastern Province suddenly changed its behavior, took the initiative to form an alliance with Northern Province and Southern Province, and declared war on Central Province. The good days were over.

With the entry of East Province into the war, not only did the power situation of the two camps tilt instantly, but the many shortcomings of the alliance between North Province and South Province were also all made up for. It was natural that Central Province was defeated step by step. There were many knowledgeable people in West Province, and they quickly pointed out that it was impossible to win by two against three, and the right thing to do was to jump ship in time to save their lives.

The White Tiger Clan did not make any statement on this, but soon Dongzhou was infiltrated and invaded by a large number of assassins, sometimes hundreds of assassinations occurred within a month.

The target of the assassination was undoubtedly the key figure who facilitated the union of North State, South State and East State: Long Hu.

Dongzhou was also troubled by this, because the monks themselves had many secret methods, and it was almost impossible to deploy targeted defenses, but Dragon Fox quickly gave instructions:

It doesn't matter, it's all the same.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that as long as Dragon Fox survived and the three states continued their siege, sooner or later one of Xizhou and Zhongzhou would have to surrender first.

Either Zhongzhou cannot bear the pressure of war, or the surrender faction in Xizhou gains the upper hand. In any case, whoever surrenders first will suffer less losses. Time is on the side of the Three States Coalition.

The reason why Longhu was able to persuade Dongzhou was that the conditions he offered were very simple:

The dragons of the world are one family. In the past, the black turtle supported the Qilin to ascend to the throne, and gained a lot of political benefits. I guarantee that Jiaolong can give Canglong no less than what he gave Jiaolong.

It was the same reason why Beizhou supported Qilin Prince Qi Weihuan. The ancestor Canglong soon realized that the Jiaolong clan had a legitimate status, but was too lacking in overall strength. Therefore, even if they finally succeeded in driving Qilin away and taking control of the imperial capital, the subsequent power arena would inevitably require the help of Dongzhou Canglong.

The dragons of the world are one family. This is a really wonderful saying! I never thought that you, Longhu, were an ignorant girl in the past, but now you are so mature and wise... By the way, where is Longlong?

Long Long stayed in Beiming Fanyang to guard the rear.

The dragon fox replied with a smile, and the ancestor Canglong did not doubt him and directly decided to let the dragon clan join the war.

Now it is profitable for the Dragon Clan to join the war, the Xuanwu Clan joins the war to protect itself, and the Vermillion Bird has a deep grudge with the Qilin and is unwilling to let Zhongzhou win, so all three parties have a strong motivation to promote war.

But...what about the future?

If the North State catches its breath and the hatred in the South State disappears, will it still be willing to continue with the East State?

In the bedroom late at night, Longhu sat at the desk and continued to read the war plan, and he did not feel sleepy for a long time.

Suddenly, she turned her head as if she realized something and looked behind her.

The bedroom was empty, with no one in it except me.

It must be an illusion. After all, she is now a high and mighty princess of the last dragon, and it is impossible for anyone to enter her bedroom.

And the man who truly treated her as a girl, who would break in without knocking to scare her, play with her, hug her and kiss her, has also left her completely and forever.

Feeling a dull pain in his heart, the dragon fox's tail swept behind the chair, as if trying to find something to wrap around, but soon it drooped down weakly.

Let's watch it for a while.

She rubbed the corners of her eyes, forced herself to suppress the grief in her heart, and continued to review the intelligence on politics, war, and diplomacy.

The world of cultivation.

Chen Guanshui left Xiangxi and headed south in a hurry until he reached the long and hot coastline, then he carefully stopped the sword.

Are there any pursuers?

It seems that there is no...

If A Jing were here, how could he not even be able to tell whether there were pursuers or not!

Thinking of this, and seeing the vast world and the fact that there was no place for him to stay, Chen Guanshui could not help but burst into tears.

If meeting Junior Sister Xu in Baicheng was just a coincidence, then running into Senior Sister An in southern Xinjiang and meeting Shi Liuli in Xiangxi, and being discovered three times in a row, clearly can no longer be explained by coincidence.

Someone must have done something to me!

As for the suspects, they are nothing more than the Su Ming Sword and the Kunlun Mirror, there is no other possibility.

Chen Guanshui thought for a moment, then turned the sword and flew south.

The sword light crossed the vast ocean and finally landed on an island somewhere.

This island may look inconspicuous, but in fact, there is a mystery hidden beneath the soil, as it is occupied by a large area of ​​black ice.

Even cultivators, if they touch this mysterious ice, will find their bodies gradually freezing and their true energy clogged... Since demons will also suffer the same effect, most of them are used by cultivators who have gone astray to seal themselves and prolong their lives.

Chen Guanshui followed the route in his memory and found the sword master.

The old man in black sat cross-legged without opening his eyes and said:

"Boy, your sword is quite interesting. Its sword light is majestic and magnificent. I have never seen a flying sword comparable to it in my life."

This is the Taiyin Suming Sword, how can it not be powerful?

Chen Guanshui thought to himself, but said:

"I heard that you are in seclusion here, so I came to visit you."

"I heard about it?" The old man in black asked leisurely, "Who told you?"

"Senior, you don't need to ask who it is." Chen Guanshui replied, "If I had any ill will towards you, I would have already taken action by now."

"Hmph." The old man in black snorted with disdain, but he soon realized with his spiritual sense that this man's strength was so high that he had almost no rivals in the Nascent Soul Realm, so he slowed down his tone and said:

"Then why did you come all the way across the South China Sea to see me, an old man?"

Chen Guanshui was silent for a moment and said:

"I suspect someone has tampered with my body. It should be some kind of magic that can allow someone to locate me at any time. I hope senior can help me."

"Hey." The old man in black laughed, "Positioning? Could it be a calculation?"

"I'm giving you a piece of advice: Don't mess with those masters of divination. They are all good at plotting and scheming, and you may even die without knowing why."

"Is there no way to block these magic tricks?" Chen Guanshui said unwillingly.

"Of course there is." The old man in black laughed, "As long as you also master the art of calculation and use the same method to conceal your own secrets, you will not be completely defenseless."

"If I knew some magic tricks, why would I come to you for help, senior?" Chen Guanshui said disappointedly.

"If you don't know how to calculate, it will be difficult." The old man in black said slowly.

Chen Guanshui keenly heard that the other party meant "difficult" rather than "impossible". Seeing that the old man kept silent, he took out a book and said:

"I happened to get a book in the past, please take a look at it."

This book was obtained from the storage bag of the kind-hearted dragon ancestor in the secret realm of Shennongjia in the past. It records many secret methods to calm the mind and consolidate the heart of Tao.

Luo Yan glanced through it briefly and realized that this thing was used to treat various situations such as obsession, mental damage, and unstable state of mind. He also immediately thought of the possibility that this ancient swordsman trapped on the isolated island might need it.

It's just that when he originally appeared as Ling Yun, the attitude of this master towards him was so bad that he didn't want to do such a thankless task at all.

Now that he had completely discarded the identity of Ling Yunpo and appeared in the real body of Chen Guanshui, the old man opposite did not recognize him, and there was no hostility in his expression and attitude. Therefore, he planned to use this book to see if he could exchange it for some key information.

The old man in black hummed, his body still not moving, but the book in Chen Guanshui's hand was pulled by an invisible force and slowly flew in front of him, and the pages began to move without wind for him to read.

After a while, the old man in black exclaimed:

"How could such a strange method exist in the world? However, from the many tricks I've seen, it seems that the dragon race has its hand in it."

"Isn't this scripture of yours stolen from a demon? And considering its corresponding rank, it must be a relic of the ancient demon race. Not bad, not bad..."

At this point, the old man in black suddenly said:

"Although this book is useful to me, I don't know any magic tricks, so I can't completely solve your problem."

"But I do know of a secret cave, which is the ruins of an ancient human sect. There are restrictions in it that can block magic calculations."

"If you hide in that secret place, you won't have to worry about your enemies using magic to hunt you down... But this can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause, so you should take this book back."

Chen Guanshui laughed in his heart: You have already finished reading this book, what's the difference between this and giving it to you directly? It's useless for me to take it back!

"I am grateful to you for telling me the location of the secret place." Since the other party wanted to save face, he was of course happy to be a good person. "I will give this book to you as a reward."

The old man in black was very satisfied with his tact and said:

"What a coincidence! The secret place is in the South China Sea."

"To find that secret place to hide, you need to continue flying southward for more than 800 miles from here, and you will encounter a deep sea eye..."
