“You've indeed revolted!
“Prime Minister, I've always treated you fairly. Why did you betray me?”
Tian Hu's heart was sinking. He demanded curiously on the stopped golden chariot.
“You know the answer very well, Your Majesty. Why bother asking?
“Since you can't tolerate me anymore, I'll just find another employer to work for, which is perfectly justifiable!”
Qiao Daoqing, who had five fiery birds hovering above his head, waved his fan coldly.
In fact, with Qiao Daoqing's pride, he wouldn't have betrayed Tian Hu so quickly and contracted with Ji Ye simply because of his connection to Gongsun Sheng.
The main reason was that Gongsun Sheng let him overhear Tian Hu's conversation with the head of bodyguards through a special item named Eye of the Watchers (which was exchanged from Fatty Zhu in the City of Humans).
“Humph, I don't know what you're talking about!”
“However, I do know one thing. The looting done by the Liao people must've been due to your conspiracy with the enemy.”
Tian Hu, however, didn't admit it at all on the golden chariot and simply turned it into something else.
Qiao Daoqing shook his head.
“We indeed made arrangements.
“However, something unexpected happened. The Liao people turned out to be really treacherous.”
After learning the inside information from Qiao Daoqing and spotting the meeting between Liao and Tian Hu from the sky, the navy and the Water Demons of the Twin Dragon Island were asked to sneak underwater through the Snapping Dragon Turtles and hijack the food in the disguise of the Liao people to sow discord between the two parties.
However, when they were about to attack, they ran into the real soldiers of Liao who were deployed to attack Tian Hu's food deliverers.
That was why the general who was responsible for delivery was so certain.
Of course, the Liao soldiers failed to carry the food and gold they looted back to their camp. They ended up in the Twin Dragon Island's hands, and none of the soldiers made it back.
The Liao army was quite shocked and worried that Tian Hu might attack them, so they went easier on their attacks too.
As a result, the Twin Dragon Island, which indeed suffered a lot of casualties, was able to rest for half of the night. Their combat ability was mostly recovered by their Extraordinary resources!
Qiao Daoqing said rather solemnly, “In fact, Your Majesty, this thing didn't have to happen.
“Your Majesty, the vehicle that you crafted at the cost of a fortune was blessed after we entered the divine realm and turned into a treasure that contains another universe. If you were a wise emperor, you would've loaded food and supplies on the vehicle so that the soldiers wouldn't have to deliver them or worry about looting.
“However, instead of doing that, you loaded the vehicle with the unusual treasures as well as the delicious pots of wine that you found in the divine realm. You even kept your harem in the vehicle. While the soldiers were fighting the enemies and shedding blood, you were having fun with those women!”
Qiao Daoqing's words became harsher and harsher as he pointed his fan at the golden chariot and criticized Tian Hu loudly, “You're fatuous and absurd. How can you not fail?”
“Shut up! You don't have the right to tell an emperor what to do and what not to!
“Humph, do you really think you know everything about me? I'm going to kill you first and then destroy the Twin Dragon Mount!”
Tian Hu's furious voice came out of the golden chariot.
“Roar!”
Then, the golden chariot glowed hard and was covered in a one-foot-thick layer of golden light.
The Golden Flood Dragon that hauled the chariot roared and charged at Qiao Daoqing in its way with the glowing golden chariot behind it!
“Go!”
Qiao Daoqing waved the Five Birds Illusionary Fiend Fan, spurring five fiery birds in different colors to fly at the golden chariot.
The overwhelming flames, mixed with the surging dark clouds, were rather intimidating.
Pew! Pew! Pew!
Surprisingly, the five birds made of flames were shattered the moment they hit the glowing golden chariot and fell to the ground as five feathers in different colors.
Ting! Ting! Ting!
The bullets that the people of the Twin Dragon Island shot out couldn't cause any damage to the golden chariot too. They were all blocked by the golden light on the surface.
They couldn't dodge the golden chariot in time, and it rolled over them, killing and injuring a dozen of them!
Boom!
Even the black eagle that was transformed from Qiao Daoqing's fan after he fully activated its power couldn't resist the charge of the golden chariot either.
It must be noted that the Five Birds Illusionary Fiend Fan was a piece of Extraordinary Rank-9 equipment.
Obviously, the golden chariot must've been a Transcendent item!
“Let's go!”
Collecting the Five Birds Illusionary Fiend Fan that had dimmed after being hit by the golden chariot, Qiao Daoqing became solemn and raised himself to the sky with a black cloud underneath his feet, escaping to the peak of the volcano.
“Humph, you can't get away!”
Inside the golden chariot, Tian Hu, who had been provoked, wouldn't just let him go.
The Golden Flood Dragon that hauled the chariot turned around and followed the black cloud to the sky!
“Here he comes!”
On the Demon Volcano, Ninth Uncle, wearing the yellow Daoist robe, raised his straight eyebrows.
Then, he quickly cast a spell.
“I burn my incense and invite the Gold-Winged Eagle to come…”
Ninth Uncle was a modern Daoist. Because of his frequent appearance in movies and his talent ability to summon deities, he could summon the Gold-Winged Eagle even though it was a legendary bird from Buddhist tales.
Who was the target of the deity summoning?
Whoos.h.!.+
The shadow of a Gold-Winged Eagle, which had glowing eyes that were filled with brutality, appeared on the altar. Then, it flapped its wings and swooped into the crater where yellow and sparkling smoke was popping nonstop.
To be more exact, it was going at Li Yuanba, who was at the heart of the black-and-purple demon inside the volcano.
The Water Margin heroes weren't the only ones on the Twin Dragon Island who were reincarnations of G.o.ds and devils.
Same as Yue Fei and Zhang Fei, Li Yuanba was said to be a reincarnation of the Gold-Winged Eagle from the upper world!
Therefore, he could absorb the power of the Gold-Winged Eagle.
Hum!
The moment the Gold-Winged Eagle entered his body, Li Yuanba's eyes suddenly turned golden. His vitality surged out and gathered into the white force of Fire Cores.
It filled the demon's heart and circulated in the upper half body of the demon through the purple vines.
In the next moment, the demon body, which could have only been powered by the Fire Cores of a hundred Magma Monsters earlier, reacted when Li Yuanba controlled it by himself in the enhanced state.
“Hoooo!”
It suddenly opened up its eyes that were filled with purple flames. Its upper body that could block the crater was moved out, and its claw that was as large as a house s.n.a.t.c.hed at the sky and grabbed the golden chariot, which was about to catch up to Qiao Daoqing, as if it were a toy!
After that, it simply dragged the golden chariot into the volcano while it was covered in the golden light.
