After leaving the Mirage City for a distance, Xu Chunniang invited Xiaobai out.
"Xiaobai, can you sense Little Orange's presence here?"
After Xiaobai tried hard to identify it, he shook his head in frustration.
"Not around here."
Xu Chunniang sighed inwardly, put Xiaobai away, and continued to head south.
After walking like this for another day or two, they finally arrived at the border with the Jiaohuang Palace.
From a distance, one can see a row of soldiers standing solemnly in front, patrolling back and forth in an orderly manner.
The leading shrimp tribe general discovered Xu Chunniang and his expression immediately became serious.
"Stop, who are you? Hurry up and tell me your name! This is the territory of the Jiao Emperor Palace, no outsiders are allowed to approach."
After saying this, the shrimp tribe leader carefully looked at the person coming over and his expression changed slightly.
The other party's transformation was perfect, and he was most likely a big shot that he could not afford to offend.
The sea creatures have a strict hierarchy. The combat capabilities of the lower-level sea creatures are very weak and they are completely unable to fight back against the higher-level sea creatures.
It's over. He had finally obtained a transformation pill to transform himself and gain intelligence. Is he going to die today
The shrimp chief's face turned pale and blue, and he regretted that he had spoken too quickly before.
Feeling the adult's cold gaze falling on him, he was startled and a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead, and he hurriedly tried to make up for his previous words.
"Please calm down, my lord. I didn't mean to offend you. You are coming from the direction of the Mirage City. The Mirage City has offended the third princess of the Jiao Clan and has been permanently banned from entering the territory of the Jiao Palace.
I mistook you for those guys from the Mirage City, and that’s why I accidentally offended you.”
Xu Chunniang withdrew her gaze and thought to herself, it seems that these sea creatures, like those in Mirage City, did not recognize her true identity.
This is a deep sea area where human cultivators rarely come, but it is not impossible to come.
Logically speaking, these sea creatures have the Jindan stage of cultivation and should not confuse human cultivators with their own kind.
But whether it was the sea clan in the Mirage Demon City or the sea clan in front of her that belonged to the Jiaohuang Palace, they all seemed to regard her as an important figure rather than a human cultivator, and no one knew why.
"I was just passing by the Mirage City. I have nothing to do with them."
Xu Chunniang spoke calmly, dispelling the connection between herself and the Mirage City, "I came here to look for a Qiongqi. I wonder if you have seen it?"
"Qiongqi?"
General Shrimp Head and General Crab Claw looked at each other and couldn't help but think of what happened a few days ago.
The two said in unison, "I did see a Qiongqi three days ago, but it had already been picked up by the Golden Snake Goddess."
"Golden Snake Lady?"
Xu Chunniang frowned, "Who is she? Where is she now?"
“Golden Snake Queen is the little princess of the Sea Snake Clan. The Sea Snake Clan and the Jiao Clan are distant relatives, so Golden Snake Queen is of a very noble status.
The Golden Snake Lady was very surprised after picking up the Qiongqi, and said she would give it to her third cousin, the third princess of the Jiao Palace.
General Crab Claw added, "The Third Princess had announced a few years ago that she wanted to capture a strange beast to use as a mount. The Golden Snake Lady captured Qiongqi in order to please the Third Princess."
Xu Chunniang frowned when she heard this. Since the third princess of the Jiao clan dared to expel the Nascent Soul stage mirage monster from the Jiao Palace, her cultivation level was most likely at the Nascent Soul stage as well.
Once Qiongqi falls into her hands, it is easy to imagine how difficult it would be to snatch it from her.
Even if the opponent's cultivation is not even at the Nascent Soul stage, it would be difficult to succeed given his noble status and the strength of the Jiao Palace.
She glanced at the two people in front of her, "I wonder what level of cultivation the Third Princess of the Jiao Clan and the Golden Snake Lady have? How do they compare to me?"
"this… "
The shrimp-headed general immediately began to stammer. He didn't want to offend the mysterious adult in front of him, but if he belittled the third princess just to please the adult, his life would be almost over.
After hesitating for a long time, General Shrimp Head spoke ambiguously.
"Your Excellency and the Third Princess are both first-rate figures, and their magical powers are beyond the reach of ordinary people. As for the Golden Snake Lady, she is at a different level from Your Excellency, so naturally she cannot compare to Your Excellency."
In General Xiatou's opinion, the Golden Snake Goddess is in the Jindan stage, but the adult in front of him is in the Yuanying stage. Isn't it just a big realm difference
Xu Chunniang was thoughtful. It seemed that the third princess of the Jiao clan must be a great demon in the Nascent Soul stage without a doubt.
The Golden Snake Lady's cultivation is slightly lower, and she should still be in the Golden Core Stage.
She felt relieved. If Lady Golden Snake was also a demon in the Nascent Soul stage, then if she wanted to save Xiaojuzi, she would have to make long-term plans.
Fortunately, the Golden Snake Goddess was only at the Golden Core stage, so she still had a chance to snatch the little orange back before she gave it to the third princess of the Jiao clan!
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath and hid the determination in her eyes. "How long does it take to get to the Jiao Palace from here?"
"With my speed, it will take at least two or three months, but for you, it will only take twenty days."
Two or three months...
The Golden Snake Goddess had only been walking for three days. She used the Nine Steps of Freedom to speed up her journey. She could definitely stop her before she arrived at the Dragon Emperor Palace!
After asking about the route taken by the Golden Snake Goddess and asking the two for the sea chart leading to the Dragon Palace, Xu Chunniang directly activated the Nine Steps of Freedom and floated away.
General Shrimp Head and General Crab Claw looked in the direction she left with envious expressions.
"Your sir's escape technique is indeed amazing. I wonder when I can have your ability."
General Crab Claw nodded in agreement, "But have you noticed that the power of the Lord is not as powerful and impressive as that of General Golden Snake?"
"What do you know?"
The shrimp-headed general snorted, "Some adults like to restrain their aura and appear approachable. I think the adult just now is like that."
General Crab Claw rolled his eyes in confusion, then nodded as if he understood.
Shrimp Head is older and more experienced, so what he said should be the case.
Xu Chunniang didn't know that after she left, the two minnows had imagined so many things.
She headed in the direction the two men mentioned, and occasionally ran into some parade teams.
When these teams saw her from afar, most of them mistook her for a great and powerful demon and treated her with great respect.
There were even many who, after learning that she was looking for the Golden Snake Goddess, enthusiastically gave her directions.
"Sir, the Golden Snake Queen passed by this direction a day ago. What do you want to do with her? Do you need my help?"
Xu Chunniang refused the other party. She found the Golden Snake Goddess and asked for the Qiongqi. If the other party was unwilling to give it, she could only snatch it away.
If these people follow her, they will all turn against her when the fighting starts.
"No, you're too slow."
Just as Xu Chunniang was about to leave after saying this, a voice suddenly called her.
"stop!"
