Chapter 310: Chapter 182: Dragon Princess, Can You Escape from the Ancestor’s Five Finger Mountain?_3

At that time, the Da Qian Empire’s qi luck golden dragon exceeded ten thousand zhang, possessing the combat ability akin to the threshold of the Divine Yuan Realm. Without a method to wield it, the dragon wouldn’t actively fight for Da Qian, and it only had a hazy consciousness.

Should Long Yue attempt to forcibly seize it, the qi luck golden dragon would resist. Given her strength at that time, even if she revealed some of her trump cards, she would likely fail.

That would cause a great commotion and draw the attention of all parties, possibly even the gaze of Sacred Lands. The probability of her successfully seizing Da Qian’s qi luck golden dragon would be even lower.

Some great taboos lay in devouring the qi luck of top powers to enhance oneself; the several Sacred Lands would be dissatisfied.

Therefore, Long Yue chose to wait. After making various plans, she headed to Leizhou, entered the Secret Territory, and retrieved the Dragon Ball.

Now, with the Daqian Empire so weakened, there was only an aging and dying Mid True Martial Realm Emperor Wu and another Emperor Wu from outside presiding over it, unable to hinder her actions.

Most crucially, the attention of all the Sacred Lands had been drawn to the incident in the Xuan Domain. A minor Daqian Empire wouldn’t garner attention, making her actions go smoothly.

Once she had successfully seized the qi luck golden dragon of Da Qian, she would immediately escape the Divine Continent and even leave the Qianyuan Divine Province to travel to other states in the Yuankun Domain.

“Something’s wrong!”

Suddenly, Long Yue looked closely at the qi luck golden dragon and frowned slightly.

Why was the Daqian Empire’s qi luck golden dragon barely a thousand zhang tall?

Logically, since the Daqian Empire had a True Martial Realm Emperor Wu from the direct lineage, it should have at least a thousand zhang of qi luck, and with an external figure like Li Feiyu, it should add several hundred more zhang of qi luck to the empire.

Could it be that someone from the Qian Dynasty like Chu Zhenxiong had already died?

This conjecture arose in Long Yue’s mind. Her gaze fell upon the Imperial Palace, where she didn’t find Chu Zhenxiong’s figure; instead, that Li Feiyu was still at The Li Manor.

“Forget it, forget it.”

Long Yue sighed. This was barely acceptable to her.

The qi luck golden dragon might have been diminished by several hundred zhang, and its effect was significantly reduced, but it could still enable her to cultivate an imperial-grade Primordial Spirit of martial arts.

If Chu Zhenxiong was dead, then nobody would desperately fight with her for the Daqian Empire’s qi luck golden dragon. As for Li Feiyu? Long Yue did not take him seriously.

Pushing aside her stray thoughts, she looked at the qi luck golden dragon before her and stretched out her right hand, ready to capture it.

The qi luck golden dragon seemed to sense impending doom, and suddenly let out dragon roars, circling and dancing restlessly as if seeking help.

“It’s futile; no one will come to save you,” Long Yue scoffed.

Just as she was about to make a move, she heard a voice beside her ear that made her body tremble.

“Who says no one will?”

Han Li’s dharma body became visible, and he did not conceal his face.

Long Yue, seeing Han Li appear, her eyes flashed with surprise. How could it be him?

Years ago, when she went to Leizhou, she had seen Han Li. Beside him stood two peerless beauties, but she remembered that he was only at the God Refining Realm at the time.

Now, it seemed he was a hidden old monster; otherwise, it was impossible for him to approach her so silently, without her noticing.

Keep in mind, she was once the Jiao Saint of the Sacred Abyss Realm in her past life. Although she was only at the Seventh Heaven of True Martial Realm in this life, her combat ability had already reached the Martial King level of the Divine Yuan Realm.

Long Yue felt this man might very well be a Martial King in the Later Stage of the Divine Yuan Realm. As for being a mighty being of the Tao-mysterious Realm, that was unlikely.

Thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant; Long Yue did not hesitate and prepared to flee in the blink of an eye.

This person had malevolent intentions, intending to protect the qi luck golden dragon of the Daqian Empire. With this old monster guarding it, she had no chance of seizing it.

If she did not leave now, she might even be captured.

Long Yue did not understand why there was such an old monster guarding the declining Daqian Empire, who did not intervene until today.

She gritted her teeth with hatred for this person, who was obstructing her path. However, she truly could not defeat him, and she would not use her past life’s fruits of cultivation, as doing so would not be worth it and could have significant ramifications on her future path.

“I’ll have to scheme in other Divine Provinces instead, seizing the qi luck of a weakened True Martial Realm power.”

While traversing through the void, this thought came to Long Yue’s mind as she headed straight for the East Sea.

“Thinking of leaving? Have you asked for the old ancestor’s permission?”

Han Li watched Long Yue attempt to flee. He didn’t chase immediately but instead let out a cold chuckle.

His words, however, clearly reached Long Yue’s ears, causing her body to tremble while she crossed the void. The old monster’s cultivation seemed even higher than she had imagined.

Han Li stretched out his right hand towards Long Yue. His movements were slow, his momentum did not seem imposing, yet he caused Long Yue to shudder.

She found that, despite having traversed tens of millions of li and entering the Chaotic Domain, she had yet to escape.

Below her, a giant palm that obscured the sky was opened with its palm facing up and fingers standing tall, growing larger and larger, about to engulf her within it.

“Hmph~”

Long Yue snorted coldly, didn’t hesitate, and immediately employed a Secret Technique. Her aura surged as she aimed to deliver a world-shaking strike, to break through the barrier formed by the giant palm and escape from the Qianyuan Divine Province.

But in the next instant, she encountered a disaster; her Secret Technique was interrupted. With a muffled sound, her delicate body plummeted, the sky-covering giant palm closed, capturing Long Yue within its grasp.

Retracting his right hand, Han Li looked at the Dragon Princess in his palm and smiled faintly before stepping through the void to depart, returning to Chengsheng Mountain.

The Dragon Princess’s combat ability was only comparable to the first level of the Divine Yuan Realm. Even though she had used a Secret Technique and her strength greatly increased, she was still far inferior compared to him.

His intervention just now may have seemed casual, but he did not take her lightly at all and directly employed the Demon Slaying Great Hand Imprint, a force comparable to the combat ability of the Fifth Heaven of the Tao-mysterious Realm, easily handling a small Dragon Princess.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, he also covered tens of millions of li of territory with his overwhelmingly powerful Divine Sense, concealing the magnitude of his intervention, preventing the outside world from discovering anything.

Who in the Divine Province would know that the Dragon Princess had once come to the Daqian Empire and was captured by him?

PS: That’s all for today; not feeling quite well, and I’ve got some matters to deal with. We’ll continue with 10,000 words tomorrow.
