Chapter 377 -225: Appearance of the Demon Summoning Banner_2
“Dragon Palace had indeed exhausted resources from the Four Seas to amass such a military force, but now they have been decimated, the entire army is lost, it’s estimated that it’ll take at least a hundred years for them to recover.”
Chen Qing was overjoyed upon hearing this outcome, laughing loudly: “Once we achieve the Mystic Gate Realm, Dragon Palace will definitely not have any new Mystic Gate Realm potential, and the resources for our cultivation will be extremely abundant!”
“Then, singing triumphantly all the way, we will certainly ascend to higher realms!”
“This battle, we fought well!”
Xuan Mang bowed his hands, for a great victory now, naturally, anything pleasant could be said, “Lord Wen slew twin dragons in battle, surely shaking the world with awe!”
“And the name of our Dragon Cavalry shall echo throughout the world, as the bravest and most valiant unparalleled!”
Chen Qing nodded and asked, “What are the casualties?”
Xuan Mang replied, “The wounded are not a big issue, our men from Nanli are fierce tigers with strong bodies, merely unable to join in the great battle temporarily, three hundred and twelve gravely injured, just need a month of recovery and they can return to the battlefield.”
“One hundred and fifty-two perished.”
Chen Qing’s eyes chilled slightly, “Does that include both men and horses, or is this number for both together?”

Xuan Mang replied, “This is the total for both.”
Chen Qing then breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s not so bad, prepare the Soul Summoning ritual, and also have Ao Feng and Ao Huanxiu’s bodies brought over.”
Xuan Mang said, “They were both carefully cultivated by Dragon Palace, I’m afraid they will not surrender.”
Chen Qing stroked his chin, “Perhaps not, people’s hearts are unpredictable.”
“After death, one sees certain things more clearly.”
Chen Qing suddenly remembered something and asked, “By the way second brother, did your mount die in battle?”
Xuan Mang replied sadly, “During the battle, it was swallowed by Ao Feng, Divine Soul extinguished. I’m afraid it won’t be coming back.”
Chen Qing slightly narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.
Ao Feng and Ao Huanxiu’s bodies were brought below the tower ship. Chen Qing waved and released the Divine Souls of Ao Feng and Ao Huanxiu. Ao Feng angrily said, “Qingxu, if you want to kill then kill, do you intend to torment our souls even after we’re dead?”
“The illustrious Lord Wen of Nanli, who controls half of the world, would stoop to such filthy acts?”
Ao Huanxiu remained silent, his gaze falling on Shen Changye, hugging the mast and saying nothing.
Ying Wugang stepped forward and shouted: “Insolence! Even as defeated generals before Lord Wen, you dare to bark wildly?”
Chen Qing immediately started the ritual, “Are you willing to give your heart to me?”
Ye Qingge, who knew well that Chen Qing possessed the means to resurrect the dead, nodded immediately, “Subordinates wish to continue following Lord Wen!”
Chen Qing reached out and extracted Ye Qingge’s heart from the corpse, “In the name of Qingxu, I bestow upon you the authority of the Undying.”
“Before me, even death must give way!”
“Return, my fierce tiger!”
The heart in his hand began to beat once again, Ye Qingge’s Divine Soul returned to his body, which visibly began to heal at an astonishing pace, blood reversed its flow, and wounds restored themselves.
Ye Qingge was overwhelmingly joyful, kneeling with both knees, “Thank Lord Wen!”
Chen Qing went one by one, asking those who had fallen in the Dragon Cavalry ranks, turning each one into an Undead.
Ao Feng and Ao Huanxiu, witnessing this extraordinarily divine scene, Ao Feng exclaimed, “No wonder, no wonder they dared charge even in the apocalyptic scene of the Ten Thousand Dragons Tide!”
“They are truly Undying Bodies!”
Ao Huanxiu was slightly stunned, his gaze directed towards Heavenly Dragon City.
Chen Qing personally resurrected the last of the Dragon Cavalry, approached Ao Feng and Ao Huanxiu, looked at Ao Feng and asked, “Are you willing to give your heart to me?”
Ao Feng wanted to spit at Chen Qing, but found that only his Divine Soul remained, “A defeat is a defeat, Don’t come and shame me!”
“To be born a dragon, raised in Dragon Palace, buried in Dragon Tomb, souls return to the Four Seas, how could it still be manipulated by you!”
Chen Qing’s expression turned cold, and with a grasp, he turned Ao Feng’s Divine Soul into a red fish, “Turns out to be red, I didn’t expect you still had regrets.”
Chen Qing opened his mouth and swallowed it, thereby understanding the situation of Dragon Palace and Heavenly Dragon City more clearly.
Chen Qing moved aside and approached Ao Huanxiu, “Are you willing to give your heart to me?”
Ao Huanxiu was silent for a moment, then knelt on both knees and bowed deeply, “Subordinate is willing.”
Chen Qing was intrigued, “And why is that?”
Ao Huanxiu said, “In Dragon Palace, my status was not honorable, merely called a wretch’s son by them, only because I was born with a third eye was I raised as a true dragon.”
“I didn’t much like the Dragon Palace, and now that I’ve lost, surrendering to you isn’t dishonorable.”
Chen Qing extended a hand to extract Ao Huanxiu’s heart, then pulled over a chair, sat down, and said, “This reason is insufficient, not enough for me to trust you.”
Ao Huanxiu continued, “I want to see an outcome, the outcome between you and Ji Dang, in the end, who wins and who loses.”
Chen Qing remained unpersuaded, “It’s still not enough.”
Ao Huanxiu went on, “Alright, I think you have the potential to dominate the Death Realm, to defeat Ji Dang.”
“This is a very common practice among the eternal great sects, like the Buddhist sect in the West Desert, betting on both sides.”
“Whichever of you wins, there will be a path to follow in the end.”
Chen Qing most despised this fence-sitting approach.
“Not enough, not enough!”
Ao Huanxiu exhaled heavily, falling silent for a moment.
“I already died once for Ji Dang; I’ve demonstrated my loyalty with my life.”
“What remains, I want to live for myself, I have a daughter.”
