Chapter 360 - 360 Rescuing Cui Guoliang
Seeing the sudden change in expression in Cui Guoliang's face, the woman next to him followed his line of sight, before her body started to tremble.
An expression of despair appeared in her eyes as she looked at the 2 people who were sitting on top of a magic beast and were heading in her direction.
Wan Zedong could easily guess, that once someone saw 2 Dao Kings trapped in between the whirlpools, only one thought would come to their mind
''Push them to death and take everything they have on their bodies!''
After all, both Wan Zedong and Cui Guoliang, had to expend all the qi that they absorbed from their surroundings, to resist the terrifying whirlpools from crushing their bodies.
Even if a late-stage Nascent Soul expert ended up attacking them while she and Cui Guoliang were in this situation, Wan Zedong knew that that person would only need a few moments until he killed the 2 Dao Kings in front of him!
At the same time, turbulent waves had been raised in Cui Guoliang's heart, and for a moment, the powerful Dao King thought that he was hallucinating.
''Isn't this the same brat that came to my secret realm 3 years ago? How can he be at the peak of the Spirit realm?
No, this is impossible... it has only been 3 years since I sent him to the 'Silver sword city'!
But isn't that my 'Silver-winged panther king'???''
As these thoughts flashed through Cui Guoliang's mind, the expression on his face turned from disbelief into joy, then to incredulousness and fear.
He could clearly remember that Shun Long wasn't even a Heaven grade cultivator when he had left his palace 3 years ago.
However, since he wasn't suppressing his aura with the 'Monarch's Hourglass' right now, Cui Guoliang could clearly sense that he was already at the peak of rank 9 in the Spirit realm!
For a second, he even started doubting the experiences that he had received from his own soul incantation!
As for Wan Zedong, she was completely oblivious to Cui Guoliang's thoughts.
Although she already knew that her husband had found someone to save them within the next few thousand years, Wan Zedong didn't hold any hope in her heart for that person to appear.
After all, how difficult was it for someone to become a peak Nascent Soul stage expert?
How difficult was it for that person to reach the Dao King realm?
And even if they managed to reach the Dao King realm, who could assure her that, that person would then enter the villa to fulfill their oath to Cui Guoliang?
And even in the situation that that person really manages to become a Dao King and enters the 'Dragon Lord villa' in the future, and even if he was also willing to come and help Cui Guoliang, the dangers inside the villa were enough even for Dao Kings like herself and Cui Guoliang to get trapped and even die!
In her heart, Wan Zedong didn't hold the slightest hint of hope for that matter to happen.
Instead, she was certain, that the first time that someone found them, she and Cui Guoliang would die.
Of course, although she knew that this was the truth, Wan Zedong was unwilling to die!
This was why she had chosen to resist with all her might, being trapped in this place for thousands of years, hoping that the natural formation that she and Cui Guoliang had fallen in, would at some point disperse by itself.
Although this hope was nothing more than an illusionary, distant dream, it was still the only thing that could give hope to Wan Zedong.
At the same time, Shun Long instantly recognized the whirlpools around Cui Guoliang that were a natural formation.
Although Shun Long wasn't well versed in formations, during the past 2 years, he had taken some time to study the very basics.
Although he had no idea how to break this formation and save Cui Guoliang, he knew that entering inside directly was equivalent to death.
At the same time, Shun Long was able to determine Cui Guoliang's level of cultivation.
As for the strength of the whirlpools around them, Shun Logn didn't know how strong someone needed to be to break free from it, but he could guess that even rank 5 Dao Kings may have to use their full strength to free themselves.
However, Shun Long also knew that Cui Guoliang was a formation master himself.
Since he had asked him to come to this place, it was very likely that he had a plan to free himself.
With a smile on his face, Shun Long had Little Silver take a step forward, and under Cui Guoliang's and Wan Zedong's shocked gazes, he cupped his hands as he looked at Cui Guoliang and said
''Senior.''
Cui Guoliang felt his mind short-circuiting after hearing Shun Long confirm his identity, while Wan Zedong turned her head to look at her husband with a curious expression on her face, while unconcealed joy flashed in her eyes.
She couldn't believe that the young man in front of them happened to know Cui Guoliang!
Although she could sense that Shun Long was still a peak rank 9 Spirit realm cultivator, she didn't belittle him thanks to the early rank 6 magic beast that he and the young woman behind him were riding on.
Just the 'Silver-winged panther king' by itself was strong enough to fight against her and Cui Guoliang on even ground.
Seeing the inquiring expression on his wife's face, Cui Guoliang puffed out his c.h.e.s.t, and with a huge smile on his face, he suppressed the shock in his heart as he said proudly
''Hahaha! Zedong, this is the young man I found to help us! What do you think? Isn't my foresight impressive? HAHAHA!''
As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Guoliang turned his attention towards Shun Long, and with that same bright smile on his face that was about to reach his ears, he continued to suppress the whirlpools around him as he said
''Kid, I don't know what kind of monster you actually are to breakthrough all the way to the peak of the Spirit realm from the peak of the earth grade in just 3 years, but I am very happy you are here! As long as you can help me get out of this place... I swear to my Dao of Water that half of my treasures will be yours!''
Cui Guoliang didn't hesitate for even a moment, as he took a serious oath to his Dao of Water!
Forget about half of his treasures, the middle-aged Dao King was even willing to give everything up in order to escape from this place.
After all, he had been trapped here for thousands of years, and every day that he stayed in this place, was an extra day of danger.
When he had felt the entire 'Dragon Lord's villa' shaking 2 days ago, and that gigantic pillar of light that shot to the sky, the first thing that came to his mind was that he would end up being buried inside this place at the bottom of the sea.
Thankfully, as a Dao King who was proficient in the Dao of Water, Cui Guoliang could directly filter the oxygen inside the water, otherwise, after thousands of years, both he and his wife would have died from the lack of oxygen.
At the same time, Wan Zedong nodded her head, clearly agreeing with Cui Guoliang's words. Even if Shun Long asked her to give up her own treasures as well, Wan Zedong was already prepared to agree!
Since he had already decided to help Cui Guoliang and pay back his debt, Shun Long had no reason to decline, and after taking a look at Liu Mei who was standing next to him, he nodded his head, before he looked at Cui Guoliang and asked
''Senior, what do you need help with?''
Nodding his head, Cui Guoliang exhaled a sigh of relief inwardly after seeing that Shun Long didn't extort him for more treasures this time, and pointing at the whirlpool that he was suppressing, he then said
''It's simple! All you have to do, is have the silver-winged panther attack the center of the whirlpools until they weaken enough to naturally disperse!''
Of course, although it seemed simple at first glance, Cui Guoliang knew that this matter was much more difficult than it seemed.
If someone was trapped inside the formation, then it was simply impossible to attack the center of the whirlpools.
Additionally, even if Cui Guoliang could somehow destroy a single whirlpool, another one would soon take its place.
Unless it was a peak rank 5 Dao King or an even higher level expert, then Cui Guoliang guessed that it was impossible to escape from this formation without using help from someone who was outside!
At the same time, if Cui Guoliang wasn't a Dao King who had comprehended the Dao of Water, as well as a body cultivator at the same time, he was certain that he and his wife would have long since perished.
Nodding his head, Shun Long looked at the whirlpool in front of Cui Guoliang, which was completely covered by a thin layer of his 'Dao of Water', before he had Little Silver attack the whirlpool's center.
Cui Guoliang watched with excitement, as well as envy in his heart, as the black panther opened its mouth, and let out a powerful roar.
The roar turned into a shockwave that traveled towards the whirlpool in front of him, before it accurately struck the whirlpool's center!
