The night was extremely cold. The rain was like a waterfall, and the mountain path became difficult. Even so, the clone’s feet emitted a faint light as if he was walking on flat ground. He was not affected at all.

Even though they were traveling in the heavy rain, the speed of the clones was not slow at all.

…

Meanwhile, in the Prime Minister’s residence.

The general arrived at the door of the Prime Minister’s residence with a worried expression. As soon as he arrived, he saw a row of servants coming to welcome him.

“Welcome, General.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the Prime Minister come over to welcome him personally with a smile on his face.

“Your presence has truly brightened up my residence.” He led the general into the inner room as the Prime Minister spoke.

There was someone holding an umbrella beside them so the two big shots did not get wet. The rain also flowed along the uneven parts of the ground, and then there was the beautiful sound of musical instruments that lightened the atmosphere.

After entering the house, the two sat facing each other. There was food and wine on the table. There were musicians and dancers beside them. Maids would periodically come up to serve them and top up the wine. The atmosphere was very good.

“The empress should be eating at this time, right?” The prime minister sipped his tea carefully.

The general was a little angry. Could it be that this old thing had designs on the empress? I must get rid of you today! He thought so in his heart, but in the next second, he was stunned. The Prime Minister seemed to be blinking at him. What did this mean?

The Prime Minister saw that he was stunned and said with disappointment, “Let’s drink!”

The general was confused. His relationship with the Prime Minister had always been average, but not to this extent. Moreover, he was a general who did not understand these subtle expressions.

Not knowing what the Prime Minister’s expression meant, the general was a little hesitant. Puzzled, he picked up the wine cup and downed it in one gulp.

Thinking of the situation he had been in these past few days, a group of intelligent mutated beasts had barged into his residence three days ago. He had originally planned to resist but was no match for them. Although he had killed a few of them, the other mutated beasts had also injured him.

That flood dragon was very powerful. Although it was tiny, it could catch him off guard as long as it launched an attack. He had almost died in the other party’s hands before he could even activate his soul technique.

At this moment, the flood dragon was hidden in his sleeve.

Behind the house, seven young men were waiting for the right time. When the Prime Minister smashed the cup, they would immediately go out and kill the general. After the general was killed, the empress would also lose her arm.

By that time, this dynasty would experience a paradigm shift. That was their goal.

At that time, the divine item would also be in their hands.

However, after waiting a long time, they did not hear the sound of the cup breaking. Everyone was perplexed. Among these people was a young man in red with a gloomy expression.

“Could it be that he wants to betray our cooperation? Watch me take his life!”

The young man in black pulled him back. “Let’s see.”

“Is that old thing stalling for time with us?”

Everyone’s expressions were ugly. After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement.

Ye Xi sneered. “If he dares to go against our cooperation and look down on us, he will die without a complete corpse. He has been poisoned by me!”

After everyone heard this, they could not help but feel a chill run down their spines.

The young man in black said, “1’11 go over and take a look. Don’t move.”

In the room, a young man in black looked at the scene in front of him coldly. He was very angry.

’11t seems that you’re holding the general hostage,” Shui MO said coldly.

The flood dragon also smiled. “I knew that you would be here. Originally, we planned to act last, but this Prime Minister seems to have other ideas.”

The flood dragon looked at the Prime Minister, who was paralyzed on the table, and then at the general, whose face was flushed red. He smiled arrogantly.

Shui MO looked at the Prime Minister and asked, “Prime Minister, it seems you will break the agreement.”

According to their previous agreement, as long as the prime minister smashed the cup, they would immediately come in and get rid of the general. After that, they would get rid of the empress and let the Prime Minister take over.

This way, they would be able to find the divine item. Originally, this cooperation was a win-win situation, but now the Prime Minister did not follow the agreement. However, he was injured and lying on the table, breathing heavily.

‘You really poisoned Prime Minister sneered and turned around.

Shui MO looked at him coldly.” If everything had gone according to plan, the poison wouldn’t have taken effect. We would have cured you after we left this place safely. But you’re trying to be smart. Who can you blame?

He didn’t know about the poisoning. It was done by Ye Xi. This poison came from another world. There was no Blue Star there. There were only trade exchanges between the various worlds. This was a poison that could make people form a contract without knowing it.

The poison did not last long, and the ability of the contract was not strong. However, if one violated the contract, they would suffer a backlash, but it was not fatal.

Shui MO had thought that his plan would not go wrong, but it was ruined at this moment. He never expected that the general would be held hostage by a strange beast, and the prime minister would go back on his word at the last minute.

‘The Prime Minister is indeed powerful. We really believed you before, so you pretended to cooperate. In fact, you wanted to tell the general that you didn’t want to get rid of the empress, but she was a loyal servant!”

Now that he had thought things through clearly, the Prime Minister’s previous actions were all to deceive them, but even he seemed to have failed as well. He had never expected that the general would also be controlled by a faction.

The flood dragon smiled. ‘The human’s brain is really overthinking. He lied to you, and I was also deceived. Unfortunately, they don’t have the strength. No matter how many schemes they have, it’s useless.’

The flood dragon moved slightly and suddenly emitted a blue light that swept out. In the next moment, a hole appeared on the Prime Minister’s head.

‘Your Majesty, I’ll take my leave first!” After saying that, he fell to the ground and stopped breathing.

Shui MO looked at him coldly and frowned slightly.

Just now, the general was about to get angry, but the current situation made him panic. He looked down at his body in fear. Without knowing when, a very large bug had crawled out from his heart and fell out together with his heart.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and glared at the flood dragon. ‘You actually lied to me!’

“What right do you have to cooperate with us?” The flood dragon sneered. “You lowly humans are just fish on the chopping board!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the worm that crawled out opened its bloody mouth and directly ate the general’s body.

In the next second, the blue light penetrated the bug’s head.

‘Shameless beast, my Divine Descendant Clan will definitely kill you today!” Shui MO said.

‘Puny human, can you even do that?”

Then, the battle between the human and the dragon began. Shui Mo’s body instantly formed a protective barrier that emitted blue light. No matter how the flood dragon attacked, he was unharmed..
