Chapter 160 Hanhai City, The Eve of Setting Sail_1

```

"Otherwise, do you think you would have been able to see me?"

Liu Erlong said, slowly downing the strong liquor in her cup in one gulp.

She had a straightforward personality but was not without brains.

Besides, if a problem could be solved with fists, why bother using your brain and tire it out?

However, today was different. She wanted to do something for Qin Xiao, she wanted to make Qin Xiao's revenge upon his return from overseas a bit easier, so she came up with this strategy to set the tiger against the wolf.

The Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan was the tiger, and the Star Luo Royal Family was the wolf.

She intended to have the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan and the Star Luo Royal Family both suffer, and as for who was left, did she care?

When Qin Xiao returned from overseas, he could easily annihilate either party.

Destroying one side was, after all, easier than destroying both, right?

Yet,

a look of indecision showed on Yu Luomian's face.

"Er Long, if our Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan does wipe out the Star Luo Royal Family, do you really think Qin Xiao won't hold a grudge against us?"

He didn't want to be used as a pawn by others.

Liu Erlong gently put down her cup, glancing indifferently at Yu Luomian, "Do you still have a choice? If you wipe out the Star Luo Royal Family and present the gesture, the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan might not be destroyed, but if you don't even have the gesture to present, does the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan still have a chance of existing?"

Yu Luomian saw through her thoughts, but Liu Erlong was far from flustered.

Because this was, to begin with, an overt scheme.

All she needed to do was tell Yu Luomian what the future held. She believed Yu Luomian would make the wise choice.

"Ah, you're right."

Yu Luomian was silent for a long time before he spoke again with a bitter expression.

Forced by circumstances, one has to bow one's head.

"Er Long, I will find a way to deal with the annihilation of the Star Luo Royal Family. Even though the Star Luo Royal Family's strength has weakened, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. It's not something our Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan can take down overnight...."

"So you want me to talk to Qin Xiao and buy you some time, is that it?"

Before Yu Luomian could finish his sentence, Liu Erlong interrupted him.

"Exactly."

Yu Luomian nodded emphatically, his eyes filled with hope.

Even if he wanted to present the gesture of allegiance, it could not be achieved overnight. It would take time and scheming.

This time, Liu Erlong didn't respond immediately, her eyes filled with hesitation as if pondering something.

In fact,

Edit Liu Erlong didn't know when Qin Xiao would return from overseas.

The look she was giving Yu Luomian was just for show.

She couldn't let Yu Luomian or anyone else know that Qin Xiao had already departed; otherwise, where would the deterrence come from?

"Er Long, please don't force me to kneel and beg you...." Yu Luomian, unaware of exactly what the situation with Qin Xiao was, had to set aside his pride and beg Liu Erlong for the sake of his sect's breathing space.

In contrast, Liu Erlong agreed with Yu Luomian's words and didn't reject him, "You need to act quickly."

"Don't worry!"

Yu Luomian was somewhat overjoyed, feeling his attitude was clear, he added, "Definitely."

Liu Erlong said nothing more, retracting her gaze and walking toward her small wooden cabin.

The matter had been satisfactorily resolved, and she had nothing else to say to Yu Luomian.

"Er Long, wait a moment."

After struggling internally, Yu Luomian still called out to Liu Erlong.

"And what else do you want?"

Liu Erlong didn't turn around, answering Yu Luomian with her back to him.

Yu Luomian asked, "I was wondering if you would consider rejoining the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan?"

"What, you think the gesture isn't secure enough and want to tie me to your Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan chariot as well?"

Liu Erlong turned around, smiling as she spoke.

However, her smile made Yu Luomian feel a chill.

It was like the harsh wind of late winter, blowing right through him.

"Don't, don't misunderstand."

Yu Luomian waved his hands frantically, "I just think that with your Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, which is even higher than the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon, and the True Dragon Nine Crowns, no one is more suited to be the clan leader than you."

"Not interested."

Liu Erlong replied coldly with three words and walked straight into the room.

"Er Long..."

"Bang."

Before Yu Luomian could say more, the loud sound of the door slamming cut off the rest of his words.

Yu Luomian could only shrug his shoulders in resignation, "Well, then I'll wait until Qin Xiao changes his mind before asking again, if the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan still exists by that time."

With that, Yu Luomian's figure also disappeared into the night.

...

The sun rose at the crack of dawn.

A large carriage travelled across the wide continent.

Qin Xiao stood atop the carriage, looking into the distance, he could already see the three big characters of Hanhai City.

"Eh, where's that smell coming from, it's a bit salty, a bit fishy..."

Ning Rongrong also poked her head out of the carriage, puzzled.

With a faint smile, Qin Xiao explained, "That's the smell of the sea, we have arrived at the destination of the first part of our journey."

"Hanhai City? I think I've heard my father mention it, but what is Hanhai City for?"

Ning Rongrong frowned, trying hard to remember.

Too bad.

Aside from eating, sleeping, and playing, her little head had some stuff in it, but not much...

Remembering that Ning Fengzhi had mentioned Hanhai City was already quite an achievement.

"Hanhai City is the largest city at the western border of the Tiandou Empire, and it's also the largest coastal city on Soul Land, home to the biggest port on the continent,"

Qin Xiao looked out into the distance, explaining, "And the first step of our sea voyage to Sea God's Island starts from here."
