Chapter 160 Chapter 160: Did I Forget to Say Something?
Chapter 160: Did I Forget to Say Something?
Well, this is just great. The Master Diviner risked her life and worked so hard to make this trip, only to end up with no military achievements whatsoever, and in the end, she couldn't even catch anyone... What kind of situation is this?
The divination didn't say anything about this!
But since things have come to this, what else can Fu Xuan do, even if she's unwilling? At least all the Denizens of Abundance within the Alchemy Commission have been dealt with. Taking these people frozen in ice back for interrogation should still yield some useful information, one way or another.
After giving the order to the Cloud Knights beside her to clean up the battlefield, Fu Xuan then walked over to Kevin's side and praised, "But on the other hand, I never expected your abilities to be so... astonishing?"
"This move 'Frozen Nine Provinces' is so exquisite. Such mastery over ice control—I'm afraid even if all the past Dragon Venerables were summoned, they couldn't have done better than this."
Even in the legends of Earth, so-called dragons were mostly beings associated with wind and rain. And it seems that in this universe, these dragon descendants related to 'Permanence' are also the same.
Although so far, Kevin has only met Bailu, a single member of the Vidyadhara race, judging from the fact that this race originally lived in the sea, it should be clear that their abilities are definitely not unrelated to this.
You can't possibly... make a fire dragon live in the sea, right? Wouldn't that be a bit too cruel?
"Do you know where the Scalegorge Waterscape is?" Kevin didn't directly respond to Fu Xuan's words but suddenly asked this instead.
Besides, how should he respond? Should he tell her: Just go catch a Honkai Beast named Parvati and eat it to obtain the exact same ice-based authority?
Fu Xuan didn't answer directly. Instead, after pondering for a moment, she asked in return, "Scalegorge Waterscape... isn't that the realm overseen by the Vidyadhara? Why are you suddenly asking about that?"
"Before you arrived, Danshu mentioned that the Denizens of Abundance are cooperating with an 'Emanator of Destruction' from the 'Antimatter Legion.'"
Kevin didn't have time for idle chatter, so he explained directly and simply: "She said the other party would help them break the seal on the Ambrosial Arbor's roots within the Scalegorge Waterscape, thereby fully reviving this ancient creation of Abundance and completely devouring the Xianzhou... Did your Luofu anticipate any of this beforehand?"
"What?! An Emanator of Destruction?! How could such a dangerous figure be lurking on the Luofu?!"
The seven Emanators of Destruction of the 'Antimatter Legion' are all existences at the level of Emanators. Each has destroyed multiple civilizations at least. In this universe, they are virtually known to everyone. Even the Xianzhou Alliance must remain completely vigilant when facing such enemies.
And Fu Xuan isn't truly foolish. After the initial shock, she quickly sorted out her thoughts: "So that's it, so that's it... No wonder the General so easily handed over command of the Cloud Knights to me this time."
"And here I thought he was genuinely planning to step down and yield his position to a worthy successor... Turns out he just wanted me to handle these troublesome matters while he went off alone to catch the big fish, right? Hah, General, you've really played a clever hand."
Before Kevin could even react, he saw this Master Diviner sarcastically mocking her own superior quite thoroughly. It wasn't until a full half-minute later that she seemed to suddenly realize he was still standing beside her, hurriedly coughing twice with slightly flushed cheeks.
"Ahem... Since things have come to this, there's actually no harm in telling you all this."
Fu Xuan quickly adjusted her state and spoke with a serious expression and tone: "In fact, the entire Scalegorge Waterscape originally wasn't part of the Xianzhou. It was only after the Reignbow Arbiter severed the Ambrosial Arbor that the Xianzhou leadership at the time discovered the Arbor's roots were undying. They then reached an agreement with the Vidyadhara on a certain planet."
"The ancestors of the Xianzhou moved the entire planet's ocean along with the Vidyadhara ancestral homeland—which is now the Scalegorge Waterscape—into the Luofu Xianzhou. And it was after that that the Vidyadhara became part of the Xianzhou, sharing its glory and its losses ever since."
"In fact, very few Vidyadhara nowadays reside in the Scalegorge Waterscape year-round. The duty of guarding the Scalegorge Waterscape seal has always been carried out by successive Dragon Venerables. But the previous Dragon Venerable of the Vidyadhara caused a major disturbance... I'm not at liberty to disclose the details on this point. If you want to know more later, go ask the General and see if he's willing to tell you."
"In short, the final result is that the Dragon Venerable lineage of the Vidyadhara suffered a loss in its transmission. As a result, this generation's Dragon Venerable is very... um..."
Fu Xuan stood there pondering for a long time but couldn't figure out exactly what word to use to describe Bailu. In the end, she could only speak vaguely: "As the Master Diviner, it's not really appropriate for me to describe these things... But you must have already met that Dragon Venerable, right? That little girl who practices medicine in the Exalting Sanctum and has a pair of dragon horns on her head."
"So one thing we have to admit is that the defensive capabilities of the Scalegorge Waterscape right now might indeed be unprecedentedly weak. But I believe our General must have already headed there beforehand."
"Even so, I still feel somewhat uneasy..."
Fu Xuan sighed slightly, looking exactly like a worried mother fretting over her mischievous child.
"I'd actually like to see this 'Emanator of Destruction' for myself," Kevin suddenly spoke up.
No matter what, he couldn't muster any好感 towards these destroyers who arbitrarily annihilate civilizations. Even if he couldn't and had no reason to chase these beings across the universe, now that an Emanator of Destruction is right before his eyes, how could he possibly just let it go?
"Although I'd very much like the General to have an extra helper, I still have to remind you of one thing—your strength is indeed impressive, but those 'Emanators of Destruction'... every single one of them is an extremely terrifying existence."
"Having destroyed countless civilizations, they absolutely won't let slip any opportunity that could lead someone to their death. They are absolutely fearsome opponents."
Fu Xuan spoke very seriously. It had nothing to do with anything else; she simply didn't want anything unfortunate to happen to this person who had just helped her and the Luofu immensely.
"Actually, the Alchemy Commission is the realm closest to the Scalegorge Waterscape. If you want to head there now, I can arrange a starskiff for you. Heading in this direction won't take long before you can... Hey hey, wait a moment! I haven't even finished speaking!"
She saw Kevin, upon learning the direction, step onto the sea surface that had already been turned into ice by him. He didn't seem to be walking particularly fast, yet within a few breaths, he had completely vanished from sight, leaving Fu Xuan standing there dumbfounded and utterly perplexed.
"What's wrong with these people? Is it so hard to listen to me say a few more sentences? If I weren't tied up here and unable to leave my post, how could I possibly stay behind alone!"
"But come to think of it... did I forget to tell him something?"
