Chapter 297 The Flood Dragon Clan is truly utterly depraved.
The dark clouds gradually dispersed.
Jun Ce held Zhai Rongyu's hand, his eyes full of tenderness, "Rong'er, don't be afraid."
"I'll be back as soon as I go."
Zhai Rongyu grasped Jun Ce's hand in return, saying, "We are now husband and wife. How can I watch you risk your life alone?"
"I want to go with you."
Seeing that Jun Ce remained silent, she added anxiously, "If you don't agree, I'll secretly follow you."
"You know, if I insist on going, no one can stop me."
A hint of helplessness flashed in Jun Ce's dark eyes. He reached out and brushed away the pearl covering her face, gently stroking her cheek. "When will Rong'er learn to stop worrying me?"
Zhai Rongyu covered his large hand with hers, her almond-shaped eyes gleaming.
"I can't learn it."
“If Ah Xu is worried, he should keep me by his side and watch over me personally.”
Jun Ce's eyes flickered with conflicting emotions, and finally, a sigh escaped his chest. "What am I supposed to do with you?"
He leaned down and kissed her lips.
"Since the Princess has given the order, I will obey."
……
East China Sea.
Dark clouds loomed heavy, and towering waves crashed against the backdrop of a world apart from the bright spring sunshine of Longyan Capital.
Zhai Rongyu held Jun Ce's hand and landed on the rocks in the sea.
Yan Feng followed closely behind.
"Senior brother, what brings you here too?"
Zhai Rongyu turned around and saw Yan Feng smiling casually at her. "How could I be left out of a fight like this? Ah Yu is really not loyal. You didn't even call me at a time like this. Do you still consider me your senior brother?"
Zhai Rongyu felt somewhat helpless.
My senior is even more stubborn than me.
It seems there's no way to persuade them to go back.
She had no choice but to go with him.
The waves surged, and suddenly a thunderbolt struck from the sky.
Zhai Rongyu suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Ah Xu, it seems like there's a formation here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sea roared as if ten thousand horses were galloping, splitting open a huge, deep chasm in the middle, as if the heavens and earth were being torn apart.
Zhai Rongyu looked back and saw the dragon clan, led by Long Zhuochi, slowly appearing like ghosts from hell.
"You finally came."
Long Zhuochi looked at Jun Ce, his sinister face filled with pleasure and ruthlessness, "You've really kept me waiting."
Jun Ce looked at the army behind Long Zhuochi, his expression remaining largely unchanged. Yan Feng, however, scoffed and said, "Hey, you damned dragon, you brought so many men? What? Are you so afraid of losing?"
"What are you? How dare you speak to me!" Long Zhuochi sneered.
Yan Feng raised an eyebrow, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"Whether they're a good match or not, we'll know after the fight."
He focused his expression and summoned the Blazing Soul Sword.
Upon seeing this, Suo immediately reminded Long Zhuochi, "Your Highness, this person practices fire-based magic and possesses extremely strong spiritual power. We must be careful in dealing with him."
"What are you afraid of?"
Long Zhuochi was utterly disdainful. He raised his voice, intending to make Yan Feng hear, "He's just an unknown cultivator. Do you think I'm afraid of him?"
"Since you've all come to your deaths, I'll grant your wish!"
Jun Ce and Yan Feng exchanged a glance, and with a flick of their bodies, they instantly rushed towards the Dragon Bathing Pool like lightning.
The two sides fought fiercely, creating towering waves on the sea.
Jun Ce revealed his true form and, together with Yan Feng, slew countless dragons.
Long Zhuochi panicked and roared back, "Long Qianxue, what are you waiting for?! Activate the formation immediately!"
Long Qianxue soared into the air and chanted some incantation, causing the seawater to become extremely turbulent.
Zhai Rongyu stood on the reef and looked around. The huge waves seemed to be restrained by an invisible force, stirring up violent whirlpools that swept Jun Ce and Yan Feng into the middle.
A layer of red mist even rose from the sea surface, as if it were the blood of living beings drawn from the depths of the ocean.
The sea breeze howled, and the blood mist drifted, turning the entire sea surface red.
Zhai Rongyu opened her third eye and was startled.
"This is... the Netherworld Spirit Sacrifice Array?!"
Long Qianxue laughed eerily in mid-air, "I didn't expect you to recognize this formation? I really underestimated you."
Zhai Rongyu was somewhat angry.
"This formation is an ancient and ominous formation. For it to be completed, the blood of countless living beings must be sacrificed to make it work."
"How many people did you kill?"
Long Qianxue sneered.
"They're just some sea creatures. Apart from our dragon clan, what right do they have to live?"
"We have already shown them an immense kindness by allowing them to share the ocean!"
"Now that the time has come to use them, how dare they disobey?"
She stared at Zhai Rongyu with some disdain, "You're just a mortal, asking about these things. Aren't you taking yourself a little too seriously?"
Zhai Rongyu frowned and looked out at the sea.
The blood mist is extremely polluting; even if these sea creatures escape the sacrifice, they will likely struggle to survive in the East China Sea afterward.
The Jiaolong clan is truly utterly depraved.
[For their own benefit, they actually sacrificed the entire East China Sea.]
Yan Feng also recognized the formation.
"Ayu! The core of this formation is extremely powerful, you must not come any closer!"
Upon hearing this, Jun Ce frowned and cast a protective barrier, enveloping Zhai Rongyu completely. "Rong'er! Listen to your senior brother!"
The blood mist thickened.
The resistance to this confrontation is also growing stronger.
The dragon clan is nothing to fear, but this formation is definitely not so easy to deal with.
Seeing that Jun Ce was trapped in the formation and could hardly protect himself, yet still sacrificed his spiritual power to protect Zhai Rongyu, Long Qianxue's face flashed with jealousy.
She gritted her teeth and revealed the key point of the formation.
The Netherworld Spirit Sacrifice Array is the most vicious and malevolent of all ancient arrays. Those who enter the array will be surrounded by evil spirits. The higher one's spiritual power, the denser the blood mist, and the more trapped one will be, just like Jun Ce and Yan Feng are now.
Therefore, the one who can break the formation must be a mortal.
But how can a mortal body withstand the power of an ancient and dangerous formation? Therefore, to save those trapped in the formation, one must sacrifice oneself to the formation and exchange for its core.
She specifically used Long Mengyue's dragon bone as the array's core.
The princess, the most noble princess of the dragon clan, possesses innate spiritual power. If any mortal were to approach the center of the formation, their soul would be drained, leaving them with no place to be buried!
Long Qianxue slowly smiled, her expression twisted and sinister.
"Zhai Rongyu, if you want to save your husband and senior brother, you must come and break the formation yourself!"
Zhai Rongyu gazed at the misty sea, her expression growing increasingly solemn.
The blood mist grew thicker and thicker, even beginning to flicker with an eerie red light. The howling sounds carried on the wind were like the mournful wails of ghosts, their tones becoming increasingly shrill and piercing.
Jun Ce and Yan Feng had long since disappeared, and their voices could no longer be heard.
Zhai Rong was anxious.
She was naturally aware of the power of the Netherworld Spirit Sacrifice Array.
However, if they don't exchange the array's core, I'm afraid Ah Xu and the others will die in the East China Sea, just like all the other marine creatures.
She looked down at the shimmering silk dress she wore and made her decision almost instantly.
"Alright, this grandma will confront this ancient and ferocious formation!"
"Han Guang Sword! Draw!"
A blue glow flashed.
The sword spirit responded and landed steadily in Zhai Rongyu's hand.
She formed hand seals, broke through Jun Ce's barrier, and jumped into the formation without hesitation.
