Chapter 555
The Crown Prince of the Empire of Great Yan also received Shen Lang’s and Ying Guang’s imperial edicts. He grinned and did not make a sound for a long time.
“Your Highness, although Jiang Li started a war with us back then, he didn’t truly leave the Great Yan Dynasty at the last moment. As the sovereign of the eastern world, it is necessary for us to pay close attention to this matter and ask about it.” Prince Lian said.
The Crown Prince of Dayan nodded and said,”Prince Lian, I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip to raging tide city and Qianjing city to ask what these two people are up to.” Without the great Yan Empire’s approval, this so-called martial arts competition is completely illegal.”
“Yes, Your Highness,” Prince Lian of the Empire said. Then, he immediately mounted the snow Eagle and flew towards raging tide city.
........................
In fact, not only the people in the world, but even Shen Lang’s own people were speechless.
After the two sides issued the Imperial edicts, Ying Wuming stopped attacking tianyue city and completely withdrew his troops.
After all, even if he destroyed the entire Tian Yue city and killed everyone in the Imperial court of Yue country, he would only be venting his anger. After that, he would deal a huge blow to Shen Lang’s reputation.
However, Shen lang wanted to have a duel with him, and the losing party would lose the right to rule the great Qian Empire. Not only would Shen lang lose his reputation, but he would also lose his most valuable asset.
In the eyes of the world, what was the most impressive thing that Shen lang had? Of course, it was because of his identity as Jiang Li’s son. Therefore, even if he was alone, no matter how weak he was, countless people in the world treated him as the Overlord of great Qian or even the human Emperor of the eastern world.
This was the inheritance that Emperor Jiang Li had won for him.
And no matter how strong Ying Guang and his son were, how many troops they had, and how large the territory they controlled was, they were still called rebels and thieves.
However, Shen lang was using the orthodoxy of the great Qian Empire as a bargaining chip. This was not just a prodigal act. Even the trashiest nouveau riche disciple would not do this. This was like a nouveau riche competing with someone to see who could pee further, and in the end, he used his own villa as a bet.
At that time, Ning Zheng was attending a small court meeting. When he heard Shen Lang’s imperial edict, he dropped the memorial in his hand.
It should be known that Emperor Ning Zheng was a person who would not change his expression even if a mountain collapsed in front of him, but he was so scared that he directly dropped the memorial. All the officials in the court instantly lost their voices, and their minds were completely blank.
After a long while, everyone present looked at each other. Are we going to lose the name of the great gan Empire in the future?
Ning Zheng bent down and picked up the memorial. He cleared his throat and said, ” “Uh, let’s continue.”
Following a monarch like Shen lang, she was destined to be shocked frequently.
..............................
Prince Lian of the great Yan Empire visited raging tide city again, but this time, he did not come in secret, but in an open manner.
Your Majesty Shen lang, are you sure you’re not joking? ”
“Lian Prince, when did I ever joke?” Shen lang asked.
Prince Lian said, ” if you’re sure there’s no other conspiracy, then I must tell you. There can’t be any other conspiracy in this matter. It must be the purest martial arts competition. If you’re trying to create a diversion and deceive everyone, the great Yan Empire will not agree to it. ”
Everyone was scared of Shen lang. Ever since he came to this world, Shen lang had played all 36 tricks once, especially the beauty trick. He had played it countless times.
What? There’s no beauty trap in the thirty-six Stratagems? This was not important.
Shen lang said seriously, ” Lian Prince Consort, I’m sure this is the purest form of competition. There are no other conspiracies. There are no other tricks.
Prince Lian replied,”you should know that as the Overlord of the eastern world, you and the Ying clan will be under the supervision of the great Yan Empire when you fight for the position of the legitimate great Qian Kingdom.” Thus, if this martial arts competition were to take place, the great Yan Empire would have to be responsible for its fairness and the safety of both parties. If something crazy happens in the arena or outside the arena, the great Yan Empire will definitely deal a fatal blow.”
“I agree,” Shen lang said.
Prince Lian asked,”also, are you sure you want the competition to be held in Qianjing?” That’s the base camp of Ying Guang and his son.”
Shen lang said, ” that’s right. I want all the people of the new Qian Kingdom to witness this. I have defeated Ying Wuming. I’m going to tell everyone in the New Kingdom that I have the ability to protect them.”
Prince Lian grinned. Although his martial arts were far inferior to Ying Wuming’s, he could defeat 100 Shen langs with just half a finger. Therefore, he could not help but tremble when he heard the words ‘defeat Ying Wuming’.
Prince Lian said, ” if you can guarantee that there are no other tricks or conspiracies, the great Yan Empire can vouch for you. Not only will we monitor the entire process, but we will also ensure your safety outside the competition stage. We will also allow your diplomatic mission to enter and leave Qian Jing safely.
“Thank you,” Shen lang said.
“But in return, the martial duel between you and Ying Wuming will need the seal of the Empire of Great Yan,” Prince Lian said.
This was another way for the Empire of Yan to confirm its status as the sovereign of the eastern world.
However, Shen lang never denied this, and neither did Emperor Jiang Li. He had always been a Sovereign Lord instead of an Emperor because there could only be one emperor in the entire Eastern world. Unless he completely defeated the great Yan Empire, he would never be an Emperor.
Next, Prince Lian took out an imperial edict from the great Yan Empire. The content was exactly the same, which was to announce that Shen lang and Ying Wuming would have a duel, and the winner would be given the official title of the great Qian Kingdom. This decree was written from the perspective of the great Yan Empire. Once Shen lang and Ying Guang signed it, it would mean that they had acknowledged the great Yan Empire as the ruler of the East.
If it was someone else, like LAN Feng, or even suo Xuan, they would definitely not be willing to sign on it. This was because in their hearts, the great Qian Empire was also the ruler of the eastern world and was on equal footing with the great Yan Empire. Why should they obey the great Yan Empire’s imperial edict?
However, Shen lang was an absolute realist and did not care about that at all. Besides, only the great Yan Empire could protect him and the diplomatic mission in Qian capital.
Therefore, Shen lang signed the edict and stamped it with his seal.
“Then I’ll take my leave. I still have to go to Qianjing.” Prince Lian said.
Then, he rode on the snow Eagle and flew back to Qianjing city.
There was a very important detail. He first went to raging tide city, then to Qian capital.
....................................
“Prince Ying Guang, we don’t care how ridiculous this martial arts competition is or what the result is. Since the Empire of Great Yan is the guarantor for this martial arts competition, it must be absolutely safe. Do you understand?” Prince Lian said, ” I don’t care how deep the hatred between you and Shen lang is. At the very least, you can’t do anything to Shen lang and his diplomatic mission during the period of the martial arts competition. Not only will Shen Lang’s diplomatic mission come, but all the countries in the world and the six Supreme powers will also send people. This is a grand event. Nothing can happen. If anything happens, the great Yan Empire will strike at all costs.”
“Lian Prince Consort, my Ying clan can’t do such a thing that would risk the world’s condemnation,” Ying Guang’s eyes shrank.
At this moment, he was extremely angry. Lian Prince Consort, what do you mean by this? Do you think that I, a rebel, would take the opportunity to cheat and even capture Shen lang and the rest? The moment we do that, our Ying clan would be completely annihilated.
“Alright then. Please sign and seal this decree, Prince Ying,” Prince Lian said.
Ying Guang received the Imperial decree from the Empire of Great Yan and looked through it carefully.
No matter what Shen Lang’s goal was, the show was getting bigger and bigger, and there was no turning back because even the great Yan Empire, the ruler of the East, had joined the game.
Ying Guang signed his name on it and stamped it with his seal.
Prince Lian said, ” alright then. This matter is settled. Ying Wuming and Shen Lang’s duel will be held on the 19th of March in Qianjing city. When the time comes, the vassal states and the six Supreme powers will all send their envoys to attend. Please prepare to receive them.”
“When the time comes, my Ying clan will welcome you with open arms,” Ying Guang said.
“Farewell.” Prince Lian said.
........................
After Prince Lian returned to the Yan capital, a few hundred snow Eagle messengers from the great Yan Empire flew into the sky and spread the decree in all directions.
The entire world was once again shocked.
Not only did Shen lang and Ying Guang announce it to the world, but the great Yan Empire also made an official statement.
This martial arts competition was going to be a grand event that would decide their fate.
Even if Shen lang wanted to go back on his word, it was too late. Regardless of whether it was Ying Wuming or Shen lang, as long as one of them went back on their word, it would be considered as a loss and they would lose the name of the great Qian dynasty.
Then, the entire world would be waiting for the arrival of the 19th of March.
The various countries of the world had already begun to form diplomatic corps. Even the diplomatic corps of the vassal kingdoms in the remote regions had already begun to set off so that they would be able to make it to this fate-determining event.
All of the vassal states of the eastern world were present.
At that time, the number of people in the diplomatic mission who would witness the duel might exceed ten thousand. Including the representatives of the citizens of the New Kingdom, there would be tens of thousands of people.
....................................
At this moment, raging tide city fell into a strange silence.
Shen Lang’s decision was not discussed with the Minister of State and the Bureau of Military Affairs. Only ning yuanxian, Qiu Yao ‘er, and a few others knew about it.
All along, Shen lang would make the crucial decisions on his own without any discussion.
As subjects, the people of furious tide city could only accept and trust the Wu, Chu, and Yue countries.
When Emperor Shen lang said that he would wipe out the 650000 soldiers of the Empire of Great Yan’s West Army, who would believe him?
And the result? He did it.
After that, he said that he would save Jin Jun and the tens of thousands of people without any harm, and he did it again.
However, the decision he made this time was too shocking.
Although the previous miracles seemed impossible, at least there was still room for manipulation, and he could rely on his wisdom.
However, in this duel with Ying Wuming, it was probably impossible to rely on wisdom anymore. There was no room for imagination at all.
However, since Emperor Shen lang had already announced it to the world, everyone in Xuanji had no choice but to believe him and start praying.
Even though most people didn’t even know how to pray.
Pray that Ying Wuming would suddenly faint during the competition?
And pray that the heavens would suddenly send down a Thunderbolt to kill Ying Wuming during the competition?
All these were not reliable. Even the heavenly Thunderbolt might not be able to kill Ying Wuming.
Of course, many of them had already made up their minds to lose the name of the great Qian Empire. Although their hearts were bleeding, losing the name was better than losing Emperor Shen Lang’s life and Foundation.
If worse came to worst, he would wait until all the new soldiers of raging tide city were trained before he could completely defeat Ying Guang and stupa mountain and take back the name of great Qian Empire.
....................................
Everyone was praying for Shen Lang’s fate. What about Shen lang himself?
During this period of time, he had been studying the extremely obscure scroll of the ancient king. To be exact, before he had officially sent the duel invitation to Ying Wuming, he had already obtained most of the results.
First of all, his guess was correct. The name of the traitor of the Jiang royal family in the ancient prison was Jiang Xie. He was the last crown prince of the ancient Jiang family.
Because of his betrayal, The Lost Empire of the West had obtained the key secrets of the ancient Eastern Empire, allowing The Lost Empire to win the following Wars and deal a fatal blow to the ancient Eastern Empire.
It was also because of this that the ancient Jiang clan lost the throne and was replaced by the Ji clan.
The king in the stone coffin in the ancient square was not Jiang Xie’s son, but his grandson. The last king kneeling in the divine temple of the Vajra peak was Jiang Xie’s great-grandson.
In other words, about a hundred years after Jiang Xie’s betrayal of the ancient Eastern Empire, the entire world was destroyed, and the ancient civilization was destroyed.
Jiang Xie was as weak as Shen lang, but he was a genius. The dragon’s heart device, the ancient king’s ring, and the Dragon’s sword were all personally forged by him, and they were all private treasures of the ancient Jiang clan.
Not only that, but a large part of the nightmare stone civilization system of the entire Eastern Empire was also constructed by him.
He did not have any martial arts, but with these three pieces of ancient equipment, he still had amazing combat power. He had a weak constitution, but his spiritual power was extremely strong. That was why this ancient equipment set could unleash its full power on him.
Would Shen lang be able to defeat Ying Wuming?
There was!
He had been searching through the ancient King’s scrolls for a long time and finally found a fatal move.
Of course, it was not that this move was the most powerful, but that it was the most energy-conserving move.
With Shen Lang’s weak mental energy, this was probably the only move he could use.
And what was the first move?
An energy vortex!
That’s right, it was an energy vortex between several ancient ruins. People with authority could easily pass through it, while people or objects without authority would be crushed directly.
What Shen lang needed to do was to use the energy in the Dragon Core and the Dragon Sword to form an energy Whirlpool with his mental energy.
What would happen if Ying Wuming ran into the energy Whirlpool?
He didn’t dare to imagine it!
The key was that the energy Whirlpool was completely supplied by the Dragon Core device. Shen lang only needed to use his mental energy to organize the energy.
When Shen lang was studying the ancient King’s Scroll, he really saw infinite possibilities in this set of equipment as long as one’s mental energy was strong enough.
It was a pity. If Jiang Xie had not betrayed them, he would have been the greatest Emperor of the ancient Eastern Empire.
Why did he betray his own empire? Just because of love, just because he was attracted to Queen Medusa?
This didn’t seem very reasonable.
Also, what top secret did Jiang Xie sell to Queen Medusa that caused the ancient empire to be defeated by The Lost Empire in the next hundred years?
It was clear from these ancient ruins that Queen Medusa’s Army had already reached the border of the ancient Eastern Empire.
Of course, this information was put aside for now.
Shen lang invited Ying Wuming for a fight because he was 80% confident.
Now, everything was ready, except for the crucial wind. He was still missing one thing, the Dragon Sword!
It was the most crucial weapon among the three pieces of equipment.
What the hell! It was already so late, and the date of the duel was not far away, but they still had not found a weapon.
He had thought that the golden sword in the ancient King’s stone coffin was the Sword of the Dragon, but it turned out that it was not.
Then where was the real Dragon’s sword? Was it like looking for a needle in a haystack?
No, Shen lang first had an absolute clue and then determined the hiding place of the Dragon Sword.
Jiang Xie had betrayed his own empire and sold key secrets to Queen Medusa of The Lost Empire. As for what secret had caused the ancient empire to fall into a completely passive state in the next hundred years of war? This was unknown.
However, after Shen lang studied a large number of ancient books, especially this ancient King’s Scroll, he had a rough idea.
The ancient Lost Empire was very strong in terms of individual combat strength, and they had the ability to create a fantasy. Therefore, there were all kinds of sea monsters in the great Devil’s Triangle, and the largest one was even bigger than a Castle. On the other hand, the strength of the ancient Eastern Empire lay in its various weapons and the ancient civilization system built on the foundation of nightmare stones.
So, could it be understood that the ancient Western world did not have the metal-hydrogen energy core at the beginning, nor did it have the nightmare stone system? Did the Western world only have these things after Jiang Xie sold these secrets to Queen Medusa?
Of course, this had nothing to do with the Dragon Sword.
The key information was that before Jiang Xie was captured, he had also given the Dragon Sword to Queen Medusa.
In that case, would Queen Medusa be so heartless as to allow Jiang Xie to become a prisoner?
Also nothing!
It could be seen from the bottom of the ocean of the ancient prison that a great battle had taken place there. The entire ocean floor had been completely torn apart, and traces of a battle could be seen everywhere.
Also, the secret base that the Zhu family had discovered was used to launch Dragon’s regret. It was clear that at the critical moment, the people in the base did not Fire Dragon’s regret at Medusa. Instead, they were all turned into fossils.
Why was it like this?
Shen lang made a bold guess. Queen Medusa had led The Lost Empire’s Army to rescue Jiang Xie, and the ancient Eastern Empire had planned to destroy them with Dragon’s regret. However, the general of the secret base did not do so, perhaps because of Medusa’s beauty or because of their loyalty to Jiang Xie.
Of course, in the end, Medusa’s plan to save Jiang Xie should have failed. Or perhaps Jiang Xie did not want to be saved. He was willing to atone for his sins in prison.
In short, by studying the ancient King’s Scroll, Shen lang had uncovered many key secrets of the ancient world. And this secret was related to him and the Jiang family.
These secrets were very important, but the most important thing now was to find the Dragon Sword and defeat Ying Wuming.
This Dragon’s sword was located in the great Devil’s Triangle. For a long time, it was Queen Medusa’s personal possession because it was a gift from her lover.
The duel between Shen lang and Ying Wuming was on the 19th of March, which meant that there were about 50 days left.
This date was set by Shen lang, Ying Guang, and the great Yan Empire together. This was because the various countries needed time to send their envoys to Qian capital. The furthest vassal kingdom was more than ten thousand miles away, and there were no snow sculptures. If they had to rely on horses, it would really take more than a month to arrive.
In these 50 days, Shen lang had to make another trip to the great Devil’s Triangle to retrieve the Dragon Sword.
....................................
“Are you taking 11 with you?” “Baby one one is the spiritual descendant of Medusa,” Chou Yao ‘er said.
Shen lang could not help but think of Queen Medusa, the person who had once occupied Qiu Yao ‘er’s body.
Previously, Shen lang thought that it was a coincidence, but now, it seemed like an ill-fated relationship.
Of course, Queen Medusa was different from an Empress.
In the ancient times, The Lost Empire ruled over tens of thousands of miles of land in the Western world, including the land and sea. Queen Medusa was the Supreme Leader, and Queen Medusa should be equivalent to the king of The Lost Empire.
The ancient Eastern Empire had the Ji family, Jiang family, Ren family, and so on. In The Lost Empire, there might only be one royal family, and that was the Medusa race. They were women with human faces and snake bodies.
But there was something strange. Why was the totem of the ancient Jiang family also a man with a human face and a snake body?
Yes, should I bring 11?
In the great Devil’s Triangle, baby one one was invincible. For example, the Great Pyramid couldn’t be opened no matter how hard they tried, but one one could easily open it.
At this moment, Shen lang needed to rely on his intuition.
First of all, he didn’t want Yiyi to risk her life for him. He just wanted her to grow up without any worries.
Secondly, he was here to retrieve the Dragon Sword as a descendant of Jiang Xie.
Jiang Xie had betrayed his own empire for Queen Medusa, causing the ancient Jiang family to lose the throne and be demoted to a royal family. In that case, was he special to Queen Medusa and the forces of The Lost Empire?
Previously, Shen lang had no way to prove his identity. Now that he had the Dragon Core device and the ancient Jiang clan’s ring, he should be able to prove that he was a descendant of Jiang Xie.
“No, I’m not bringing it.” “Let her continue to be carefree,” Shen lang said.
After that, Shen lang did not bid farewell to anyone. Under the protection of Chou Yao ‘er, he rode on da Chao and flew towards the Devil’s Triangle.
....................................
The great Devil’s Triangle was tens of thousands of miles away from raging tide city. Fortunately, there was the Super Guild. If they were to take a boat, it would be too long.
In just over a day, Shen lang rode on da Chao and arrived at the outer edge of the great Devil’s Triangle.
This place was like the end of the world. There was no day or night. The thick black fog was like the wall of the world, standing in the sky and on the sea. It stretched for six to seven thousand miles.
Countless shocking lightning bolts randomly appeared in this dark fog, and countless tornadoes were randomly generated, sweeping everything.
Even now, the great Devil’s Triangle was still a forbidden zone in the world. Be it the snow Condors or the ancient vultures, none of them dared to enter this area.
Because of the lightning that was everywhere and the countless tornadoes that were not there, they could easily crush any flying beast into pieces.
Not only that, but there were also countless sea monsters, over a few million.
Some sea monsters were so powerful that they could easily destroy a huge castle.
To them, this was the territory of The Lost Empire, and no outsiders were allowed to enter, or it would be an invasion.
Previously, Shen lang was fearless and barged in without permission. However, it was different this time.
Moreover, after he came into contact with the danger of the destruction of the Great Pyramid of Devils, the sea monster army sent him out safely and did not attack his people. This was a tacit understanding.
Even though the sea monster army did not say it, Shen lang tacitly agreed that they would not invade the great devil triangle and The Lost Empire’s territory from now on.
Shen lang took out the nightmare stone megaphone and shouted, ” “Queen Medusa’s subordinates, the descendants of The Lost Empire? I am Shen lang, requesting to enter the great Devil’s Triangle.”
There was no response from the great Devil’s Triangle.
descendant of The Lost Empire, ” Shen lang said again, ” I am Shen lang. I would like to enter the great devil triangle.
There was still no response.
After that, Shen lang still did not barge in and shouted again and again.
A day and a night passed.
Two days and two nights had passed.
Da Chao was getting impatient and wanted to barge in with Shen lang. Shen lang could sense that it was hostile towards the great devil triangle. This should be related to its genetic memory. They were probably bred to start a war with The Lost Empire.
Three days and three nights had passed.
Shen lang shouted tirelessly, ” descendant of The Lost Empire. I’m Shen lang. I request to enter the great devil triangle.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Suddenly, a shocking thunderclap rang out between heaven and earth.
A shocking tsunami was set off on the sea.
The lightning that stretched for hundreds of miles seemed to tear the whole world apart.
Then, a terrifying scene appeared.
A huge face emerged on the wall of the world, which was The Thick Dark Fog that spanned six to seven thousand miles.
The strange and terrifying face didn’t look like a monster, but a devil.
This Suan ni was also from The Lost Empire?
However, Shen lang had never seen such a sea monster before. It still had the face of a snake, but it also looked like a human. However, there was an eye in the middle of its forehead, and there were countless horns on its head. Shen lang did not know if they were bone spikes or horns.
When he opened his mouth, he could see layers of teeth crisscrossing inside.
What an ugly monster. It looked like a demon, but also like an alien. It also looked like the most primitive and ugly Naga beast in the game. In short, he had no idea what it was.
Because its face was made up of smoke, it was extremely huge and hundreds of miles tall.
Sir Shen lang, we have come to an agreement. We do not welcome anyone. This is the territory of The Lost Country. The demon’s face twisted, and so did the countless bone spikes, releasing a strong hostility.
Sir Shen lang, please leave. Otherwise, I will start a massacre.
The monster’s face formed by the dark fog began to open its mouth. Its mouth, which was dozens of miles in diameter, formed a terrifying tornado.
Of course, it wasn’t because the monster was so huge. It was because it was controlling the dark fog to form a huge demonic face.
If Shen lang did not leave, it would devour Shen lang, da Chao, and Chou Yao ‘er and crush them completely.
dear Lost Empire Marshal, ” Shen lang said, ” I have an important matter to attend to in the great Devil’s Triangle.
The demon’s huge face began to count down.”Three,”
“Two!”
“One!”
Then, it began to devour the energy with its huge mouth.
The huge tornado had a shocking suction force. Even though they were a few thousand meters away, Shen lang, da Chao, and Chou Yao ‘er were still sucked into its huge mouth.
In the face of this power of heaven and earth, there was no resistance at all.
Then, the tornado released a powerful force and wanted to crush Shen lang into pieces.
Shen lang raised the ancient king’s ring and shouted, ” I am the descendant of Queen Medusa’s lover, Jiang Xie. I am his only heir. I represent the ancient Jiang family to take back the Dragon Sword that belongs to us.
As Shen lang roared, his ancient king ring instantly released a blinding light.
