Although the Succubus Lord hadn't stirred up any trouble since the Myriad Races Battlefield, it didn't mean she would give up.
Therefore, before Li Xueyi advanced, Jiang Wang prepared to help Li Xueyi eliminate this hidden danger through his research on succubi.
Initially, the Succubus Lord hid in the spiritual world and didn't show herself, but Jiang Wang directly released a wisp of the succubus clone he imprisoned in his spiritual world, and with the help of this double agent, Jiang Wang easily found the Succubus Lord.
Enemies meeting are especially filled with animosity. The Succubus Lord hated that Jiang Wang wasn't a man, and wasn't moved by her charms even in that state.
Jiang Wang hated that the Succubus Lord was a nuisance, ruining his important affairs!
Although both sides hated each other to the core, the Succubus Lord had almost no ability to resist against the already strengthened Jiang Wang, and could only attack with her eyes.
Commonly known as glaring you to death.
And although Jiang Wang could easily handle the Succubus Lord, he couldn't completely eradicate her.
After all, she and Li Xueyi were essentially one.
If she died, then Li Xueyi would inevitably experience unpredictable consequences.
Therefore, apart from beating up the Succubus Lord and taking back that wisp of clone, Jiang Wang had no other way.
At least Jiang Wang hadn't thought of a particularly good solution yet.
Unless Li Xueyi wasn't afraid of death, Jiang Wang could try using the Zerg Nest's transformation...
...
And the Succubus Lord, suppressed by Jiang Wang, could only watch helplessly as Li Xueyi's spiritual power rose layer by layer, eventually crossing that threshold and reaching the Diamond rank...
As Li Xueyi's aura gradually stabilized, Zhou Qian and Jiang Wang both breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the higher the advancement, the more severe the consequences if an accident occurred.
If such a thing happened at this juncture, then Li Xueyi's survival in future wars would be difficult to guarantee...
Just as Li Xueyi was recuperating, Zhou Qian beckoned to Jiang Wang, signaling him to come over...
And after Jiang Wang looked at Li Xueyi, he walked out the door...
Chapter 346: Zhou Qian's Request.
When Jiang walked outside, Zhou Qian had already lit a cigarette and was leaning against the wall...
This was the first time Jiang Wang had seen Zhou Qian like this.
How to describe that feeling?
A beauty growing old, a hero at the end of his road, are the most helpless sorrows in the world.
This kind of sorrow is the most sympathetic and the most regrettable.
Zhou Qian was undoubtedly the latter.
Jiang Wang quietly walked to Zhou Qian's side, and Zhou Qian just glanced at him before taking out a crumpled pack of cigarettes.
His hand shook slightly, and a cigarette popped out halfway like a soldier suddenly standing at attention.
Want one?
Jiang Wang hesitated as he looked at the cigarette, but still took it.
In fact, he didn't know how to smoke, he just wanted to accompany Zhou Qian.
Because the more he understood the Star Alliance, the more he felt how amazing Zhou Qian was.
This amazingness was all-encompassing, not just strength, but also his contribution to the Star Alliance.
Even when Jiang Wang learned about the history of the Star Alliance, he felt that the Star Alliance should have been destroyed long ago, or be in a state of war.
But Zhou Qian forcefully extended the life of this huge force to the present with his personal strength and planning.
Jiang Wang lit the cigarette and put it in his mouth.
He took a light puff... the spicy smoke instantly rushed into his throat and entered his lungs...
"Cough cough cough!!!"
Jiang Wang coughed uncontrollably while holding the cigarette.
Zhou Qian, who was next to him, took a deep breath after seeing this scene, revealing a relaxed expression.
"Cigarettes are a good thing, they can help you relax your nerves, but they are also a bad thing, they can make you addicted."
"Many things, once addicted, will cause problems."
"So, not knowing how to smoke is a good thing."
Zhou Qian said faintly as he exhaled a cloud of smoke.
And Jiang Wang looked at Zhou Qian, whose eyes were deep, and then looked at the burning cigarette in his hand.
"Huff..."
"There are some things that I think we need to talk about face to face."
"Mm."
Jiang Wang responded faintly.
"When you were in the Secret Realm, Ye Chen showed his face in Kaiyuan, but he had urgent matters and only left a message."
Hearing Zhou Qian's words, Jiang Wang instantly thought of Solomon and Ye Chen appearing together in the Secret Realm at that time, and then disappearing together. Presumably, that was when Zhou Qian said he showed his face.
"He said that you have the hope of overthrowing the Kaiyuan royal family, and also said that he gave you something important. Can I know what it is?"
Zhou Qian didn't directly ask for it, but asked as if he was just chatting.
Jiang Wang hesitated for a moment and then said to Zhou Qian.
"It's a cultivation method to restrain the Abyss..."
"Oh~ that is indeed very important."
Zhou Qian nodded slightly.
"Okay, that's all. Since Ye Chen gave you this cultivation method, it must be because you can maximize its effectiveness, so you can keep it."
"There's also one more thing, a great war between Kaiyuan and us should be unavoidable."
"I want to ask, what are you going to do?"
In the darkness, Jiang Wang could only occasionally see Zhou Qian's profile with the help of the flickering cigarette butt.
"What should I do? We've reached this point, so we fight."
Jiang Wang said indifferently.
For this day, he had already made preparations. Even with the help of various Star Alliance data, Jiang Wang had completed the final step of the Zerg.
At this moment, a huge Zerg ship was suspended in his Lord Space.
Hearing Jiang Wang's words, Zhou Qian was slightly stunned, and then took a deep breath of the cigarette in his hand until it was almost burned to the butt before stopping.
Zhou Qian looked at the almost completely burned cigarette in his hand.
"It's good to be young, full of vigor and sharpness."
"Unlike me."
"Every time I smoke, I think, will this burning cigarette be like my life?"
"The cigarette will always end, so what about my life?"
"When will I end?"
"Actually, I wasn't afraid of death before, but now I am."
"I'm afraid that the Star Alliance, which countless predecessors exchanged for with their lives and blood, will be gone in my hands."
"I'm afraid their blood was shed in vain."
"But you also know that there are some things in this world that you can't solve just because you're afraid, and you can't avoid just because you're afraid."
"You are stronger than me, you have strategies, you have ideas, you have the ability."
"More importantly, you are younger than me."
Speaking of this, Zhou Qian threw the gradually extinguished cigarette butt on the ground, and then repeatedly crushed it with his foot.
As if crushing his own hesitation and struggle.
In the darkness, Jiang Wang looked at Zhou Qian's somewhat old face and graying hair in silence.
After a while, Zhou Qian slowly exhaled and straightened his back.
"Here are some of my plans and the direction of the Star Alliance. I know you have your own ideas, so see which places are suitable for you."
"You once fought for the Star Alliance in the novice trial, but when you were slandered later, the Star Alliance didn't protect you. I know you don't have any feelings for the Star Alliance."
"But I hope that if the Star Alliance really loses in the future, I hope you can lead Xueyi to survive... This is what I promised her parents. I may not be able to complete it, so I can only find a reliable person. After thinking about it, you are the only one."
"It can also be regarded as a request from an elder, shamelessly made to you."
In the darkness, Jiang Wang couldn't see Zhou Qian's expression at the moment, but he knew that Zhou Qian's heart must be full of helplessness at the moment.
As a leader, he is not only Li Xueyi's elder, but also the elder of countless Star Alliance people.
He is responsible for the entire Star Alliance.
But in fact, he himself doesn't know whether he can win, whether he can lead the Star Alliance out.
He is like an old man in his fifties, facing the jackals and tigers of the Kaiyuan world, standing upright with a long knife, guarding the lights of thousands of homes behind him.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wang nodded heavily.
He rarely makes any promises, but at this moment, he said exceptionally.
"I have received the grace of the Star Alliance. If I have the ability, I will naturally not watch the Star Alliance perish. You don't have to worry about Xueyi's affairs. If something happens to her, I will die."
Hearing Jiang Wang's words, Zhou Qian slowly showed a smile.
"I'm relieved to hear you say that."
"Rest assured, don't talk about life and death at every turn, and don't put so much pressure on yourself. We old men are blocking in front, and it won't threaten you for the time being, but there is not much time left for you..."
