Nangong Yao sat on Shen Ping’s lap at the table in the main hall of the City Lord Manor. Her face was flushed red, and her round and small earlobes were rosy. It was only when her bloodline energy was instilled that the fire-element heat in her body slowly subsided.
A moment later, she turned around and looked into Shen Ping’s eyes. “Husband, did you arrange for Chen Bin to expand the Jizhou Army because you want to conquer the world?”
Without waiting for Shen Ping to speak, she continued, “Although you can start a country and build a career with your strength, if you ascend the throne, you will have to manage the affairs of the world. It might not be as easy as what we have now.”
Shen Ping smiled and said, “I’ve never thought of ascending to a high position. I think Yao’er is quite good at this. When the time comes, if I can really unify the world, I’ll let Yao’er become the empress and rule the various states in the world to intimidate the various countries.”
Nangong Yao blinked, “Since ancient times, there has never been an empress.”
“Then you’ll be the first. I’ll be the person behind the empress.” Shen Ping placed Nangong Yao on the table. “It’s still very difficult to stand behind Yao’er.”
Nangong Yao heard footsteps not far away, and her face immediately flushed with nervousness and embarra.s.sment. “Husband, stop joking. Someone is coming.”
Before she could finish speaking, her body suddenly trembled. Just as the footsteps approached the steps at the bottom of the main hall, Shen Ping’s voice sounded. “Chen Bin, what’s the matter?”
Chen Bin hurriedly said, “Sect Master, the Black Dragon Emperor of the Black Dragon Cult has come to visit.”
“Oh? This person actually took the initiative to visit. It’s really unexpected.
“Ask him to wait for a moment. I’ll go after sorting it out.”
“Yes, Sect Master.”
After a while, Shen Ping arrived at the guest room of the City Lord Manor and saw a man wearing a black scaled cloak sitting on a chair and tasting tea. Although the other party deliberately restrained his aura, the pressure of the world could not be concealed.
“Senior Black Dragon came to Jizhou City without a sound. I admire your methods.”
It was very difficult to hide the power of heaven and earth when one reached the Star Platform Realm. Usually, they could easily sense each other from dozens of kilometers away. For example, the last time Shen Ping went to the Imperial Capital, he was sensed by the two Star Platform experts inside not far from the city gate.
Therefore, if a Star Platform cultivator wanted to escape, unless they were much faster than the other party, it would be very difficult for them to catch up.
The Black Dragon Demon Emperor smiled indifferently and said, “I’ve lived for more than ten thousand years and have slept in the Black Abyss for countless years. Naturally, I have some unique methods.”
Shen Ping narrowed his eyes. He knew that this was a deliberate move by the Black Dragon to intimidate him. After all, being able to approach silently meant that it would be easy for the Black Dragon to deal with the people around Shen Ping.
“May I know why Elder Black Dragon has come to visit?”
He went straight to the point.
The Black Dragon Demon Emperor put down his teacup. “Not long after I woke up, I heard of Sect Master Shen’s reputation. In less than 200 years, you have jumped to the Star Platform and can even kill people of the same level. Your strength and speed of rise are simply unprecedented. On one hand, I came this time to see it, and on the other hand, I want to cooperate with Sect Master Shen.”
Shen Ping was still very interested in the Black Abyss, so he said, “Senior Black Dragon, how do you want to cooperate?”
The Black Dragon Demon Emperor did not reply immediately. Instead, he smiled and said, “Sect Master Shen has just dealt with the two Star Platform cultivators from Yunzhou and Jianzhou. You have occupied two provinces as well. There should be a blood pool in your territory, right?”
“That’s right.”
Shen Ping did not hide anything. Since the other party had mentioned it, he must know something.
Indeed, the Black Dragon Demon Emperor laughed, “Sect Master Shen is straightforward. Then I won’t beat around the bush. The appearance of the blood pool is related to the territories of the world. To be precise, it’s the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty. As long as you occupy more prefectures, the chances of obtaining the blood pool will be greater.
“My Black Dragon Cult will do our best to a.s.sist Jizhou and annex the Great Xia Dynasty. The blood pool is completely yours. As long as you go to the Black Abyss to help me after unifying the world, it’ll be fine.”
These words puzzled Shen Ping. The blood pool was undoubtedly the rarest resource. Refining and absorbing it could increase one’s understanding and use of the power of heaven and earth. Why didn’t the Black Dragon Demon Emperor care?
“I didn’t expect Elder Black Dragon to be so generous. I really admire you.” He complimented.
The Black Dragon Demon Emperor could hear the ridicule in it. It said indifferently, “I won’t hide it from you. Whether it’s the Heaven’s Will Stone or the blood pool, they’re the best cultivation resources for new Star Platform juniors like you. However, as long as you enter the Black Abyss, these things are poison.”
Shen Ping was enlightened. It seemed that there were some rules and restrictions in the Black Abyss. He thought for a moment and asked, “I wonder why Senior Black Dragon wants me to go to the Black Abyss?”
“You’ll know when you get there.” The Black Dragon Demon Emperor stood up and his body slowly faded. “Sect Master Shen, you don’t have to be suspicious of anything. Everything outside the Black Abyss is not interesting to a Demon Emperor like me. In addition, Sect Master Shen, you have to be careful of the Great Xia Dynasty’s ancestor. He is your greatest enemy.”
He looked up in the direction where the aura dissipated.
Shen Ping frowned slightly. After thinking carefully, he immediately understood. The Black Dragon Demon Emperor’s words were probably 30% true and 70% false. The restrictions of the Black Abyss should be true. As for the rest… Hmph, it was most likely because he saw that he was so powerful and did not have a solution for the time being, so he deliberately said something to push the boat along.
However, if the blood pool was indeed related to territories as he had guessed, then the Great Xia Dynasty’s ancestor was indeed an enemy.
