Chasing after her husband? Is it even possible to win him back?

"My title of God-King isn't just for show!"

"Who among you wants to try?"

Now that things had come to this, the atmosphere on the platform was extremely tense.

The Azure Dragon God's attitude has been made crystal clear.

Impeaching the Dragon Clan is possible, but changing the ruler of the Demon Clan is impossible.

This was already a clear statement from Che Ma. The meaning of Qinglong Shenjun's last sentence was undeniably direct: if anyone was not convinced, they might as well have a fight and see who was truly superior.

This is the world where cultivators exist. Although the rulers are not the most powerful, their authority remains unshaken and difficult to overthrow, thanks to their formidable fighting prowess.

Didn't Kang consider the current situation?

He must have considered this, because this could be considered the worst-case scenario, so he naturally made full preparations for it.

Sure enough, after only a few seconds of silence from the Azure Dragon God, a great demon stepped forward, his voice low and somber, “Your Majesty, although our coup was indeed unreasonable, the Dragon Clan’s actions over the past two hundred years have truly disappointed us, leaving us no choice but to resort to this tactic.”

As the Azure Dragon God listened to the slow and aged voice, his gaze slowly turned to an old man with white hair and beard. The old man had a pair of huge deer antlers on his head, which were real deer antlers, not dragon antlers.

"Lord Shangyang, you actually..." The Azure Dragon God's expression became more somber, but the cowardly look on her face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a chilling coldness. "You are a veteran minister of the previous dynasty, yet you have completely forgotten His Majesty Bixie's ambitions and Lord Bai Ze's knowledge."

The great demon named Shang Yang looked at the Azure Dragon God, who was now extremely aggressive, and sighed softly, "Your Highness..."

Shang Yang paused for a moment, and the old, frail demon sighed again, "Ao Yu, don't try to hold on. I dare not forget Lord Bai Ze's guidance and entrustment, His Majesty's ambitions, and so on."

"But let me ask you this: has your dragon clan fulfilled the duties expected of royalty?"

"His Majesty led us to settle in the Wild Marsh Wetlands, emphasizing agriculture and industry. After three hundred years of recuperation, the demon race became a nation, which can be considered the golden age of our race. The nation was called the Demon Prosperity."

"But in the two hundred years since then, has your dragon clan made any contributions or achievements to the royal lineage?"

“No.” Shang Yang sighed. Facing the Azure Dragon God’s icy gaze, the great demon, also a former official of the previous dynasty, showed no fear. “In other words, what your dragon clan has done in the past two hundred years, anyone could have done. Even a child on the throne, or even…”

"Old but not dead, muddle-headed and unrepentant." The Azure Dragon Goddess coldly uttered her assessment of Shang Yang.

"Anyone can do it?"

"I, the Four-Phase Divine Lord at the peak of the Absolute Death Realm, have become someone anyone can do in your mouth?" The Azure Dragon Divine Lord spat at the altar without any regard for his image, staring at Shang Yang's stiff face. "Bah! If it weren't for the fact that my clan has a sufficient number of true dragons and the inheritance of the Dragon Gate, we wouldn't have been able to suppress you bunch of traitors a hundred years ago."

"I'll say it again!"

"I want to ascend to the royal family, lead the demon race north out of the southern wilderness, and point my sword at the human kingdom..."

"This deity will not agree, and will never agree." The Azure Dragon Deity narrowed his eyes.

"What can you do to me!"

The Azure Dragon God's question and roar stirred up the rolling thunder and dark clouds, and the torrential rain finally poured down.

On the altar, many powerful demons looked at each other in bewilderment.

The Azure Dragon God is no longer just making statements; he has clearly stated his position and is no longer willing to engage in further wrangling. He has already made it clear that he intends to suppress the entire scene with his strength, and today's events are likely to be difficult.

However, none of the powerful demons who were playing both sides noticed this.

On Kang's side, there was no sign of panic or despair.

On the True Dragon's side, they also did not lower their guard because the Azure Dragon God was clearly suppressing the entire scene.

Previously, it could only be considered a test of each other's attitudes.

At this moment, it was not Dang Kang who was anxious, but Zhen Long.

Because the main course hasn't even been served yet; the existence of the Little Evil-Repelling Beast... is what gives Kang Zhen the confidence to confront the Azure Dragon God in a true confrontation.

Meanwhile, Chu Xunfeng was panting heavily as he continued climbing in the pitch-black Qianlong Abyss. Having already experienced the 'summit' once, he was much faster this time. Although he couldn't remember the location of every handhold for climbing, experience was still experience.

Once you've crossed the river by feeling for the stones, the second time will be much easier.

However, he was not anxious. On the contrary, the undisturbed environment allowed Chu Xunfeng to calm down.

He couldn't remember when he had last been in a state of utter exhaustion, but when he saw a dark red patch on the black rock wall, Chu Xunfeng suddenly came to his senses.

His climb this time seemed much easier than the first time. The most obvious indication of this was that his hands were still intact. Although pain was inevitable, there was no bleeding.

During his last climb, he almost forgot everything, with only two voices echoing in his mind.

One option is to give up, the other is to take another step forward.

This time, he could clearly see the marks left on his hand after his last mountain climb.

He paused for a moment, guessing it was probably related to his cautious state of mind.

After all, the last time he climbed a cliff that seemed to have no end, he felt his strength drain away, his blood and energy depleted, and his life force almost exhausted.

This time, he had already successfully reached the top once before, and his target was clearly the outward-sloping cliff face.

Therefore, mindset can affect the state that the cliff imposes on you.

should be.

This is good news, but it doesn't matter. He reached the top on his first try, and he was even more confident that he could reach the top again the second time, or even break through that barrier.

However, these dark red marks serve as a guide, a shortcut.

This is the real good news.

However, Chu Xunfeng was still not careless. He had no knowledge of the Hidden Dragon Abyss; everything was just speculation. In other words, he did not completely trust the traces he had left behind last time.

This caution, however, helped him.

Because these traces can be deceiving.

Or rather, the cliff is not static. He stood on the precipice, his gaze fixed intently on the rock that he had manipulated with his right hand, which had fallen into the abyss and disappeared into the distance.

The young man raised his head again and looked up at the sky above him.

The cliff face has begun to tilt outwards.

He was about to reach the top again; if it weren't for his constant caution, he would have fallen off the cliff.

This Hidden Dragon Abyss is indeed extraordinary.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Leaping Over the Past

One wrong step could waste hours of hard work.

A single misstep may not lead to eternal regret, but the blow can be immense. If one is also carrying the legacy of a true dragon, a single wrong step could be remembered for ten or even twenty years.

Chu Xunfeng silently withdrew his gaze from the dark abyss. The falling stone did not make a sound for half a minute. Perhaps it had not yet hit the ground, or perhaps the abyss was too deep, and the sound could not reach the 'cliff top' at this moment.

All the red marks along the way were correct, except for this crucial final step, where a hidden danger was planted. If you blindly believe in "your past self during the last climb," you will fall into the abyss.

Qianlongyuan is truly a place with a perverse sense of humor.

Chu Xunfeng even wondered if the true dragon's will, from some unseen place, might be watching over the participants climbing up the cliff...

It's a meaningless guess, but it's interesting.

He even began to speculate about what lay beyond that barrier.

The young man curled the corners of his mouth and looked up again. The cliff above him had begun to jut outwards and tilt. In the next short distance of more than ten meters, there would only be a few footholds for him to use as leverage, and no more places for him to stand.

He must be like a gecko, with at least three points of leverage on each of his four limbs, to keep himself steady on the cliff.

For once, Chu Xunfeng felt a surge of emotion, or perhaps a flutter of excitement, that he had never experienced before.

Perhaps it was in the darkness that he had completely unleashed himself.

Perhaps it was the two completely different experiences of climbing cliffs that led to a transformation in his heart.

He was facing an extremely difficult situation, because for the next ten meters, he couldn't even guarantee that he wouldn't fall off the cliff. He only had one chance, and if he failed, he would have to go through another long climb.

He was absolutely confident that he could get back to where he was now.

But it's no longer necessary.

Break through the barriers, climb the Hidden Dragon Abyss, then welcome the inheritance of the true dragon, and finally, do something you've been wanting to do for a long time but haven't been able to until now.

When he first climbed the cliff, he had only two thoughts in his mind.

But the second time, he had the energy to think more while climbing the mountain.

These were all fleeting thoughts, chaotic and seemingly meaningless, yet they all passed through my mind.

The first to appear was Ning Qiu Ning. This woman's appearance disturbed her peace of mind... or rather, Ning Qiu Ning stirred up her already turbulent emotions.

He gripped a protrusion, his left hand exerting tremendous force until his knuckles turned white, and pushed upwards, his legs kicking off the mountainside.

But it doesn't matter.

Ning Qiuning had already been let go of by him; she had been left behind, in his thoughts just a moment ago.

It was as if there was a Chu Xunfeng still in the previous position, but the current Chu Xunfeng had taken a step upwards.

It felt like crossing a barrier.

His blood began to boil, the Blood Refining Technique began to circulate, and his blood and qi surged to every corner of his body, power flowing from his withered body.

The darkness seemed to fade from his sight, and the dragon's bloodline powers began to operate. He felt his body become incredibly light.

The young man was completely unaware that he was looking up at the endless cliff with a fierce and ferocious smile on his face.

He broke free from a shackle. Before becoming a cultivator, his cowardice and compromise as a dependent were left behind, along with the name Ning Qiu Ning.
