I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice

"They're coming closer," Li Jinrong observed the Zhu Jing ship of the Da Yan Xian Dynasty through the telescope. "It seems like they're calling out to us, hoping that we'll save them, right?"

Chu Shen already knew from observing the battle situation that the Zhu Jing ship of the Da Yan Xian Dynasty was at a disadvantage. "Do I even need to say it?"

Li Jinrong clicked her tongue in response. "Oh, I see the emblem of their opponent. I've never seen it before, it's not a force I'm familiar with."

Chu Shen controlled the flying boat while responding, "It's a newly risen force called the Zhan Long Army."

He had seen the flag with the image of a severed dragon head before in the intelligence of the merchants in Nanping City. It was said to be created by Pei Zhenyuan, a former independent censor of the Da Yan Xian Dynasty.

Because he had dared to remonstrate directly, this Pei censor was thrown into the death prison by the current emperor of the Da Yan Xian Dynasty, but someone saved him. He immediately declared rebellion and formed this army named "Zhan Long."

He didn't know the specific details, only that this "580" army had decent military discipline, unlike those forces that claimed to be righteous armies but were actually mobs. The reputation among the common people was relatively good.

This was also one of the reasons why he didn't want to get involved.

"That name sounds quite domineering. The Dragon Clan might not be pleased to hear it," Li Jinrong enjoyed watching the excitement without fearing the consequences.

Dong Xuan Tian had the Dragon Clan, not only the Dragon Clan but also the Dragon Palace. However, this Dragon Clan was not the divine dragon that Chu Shen knew from the Blue Star Mythology, but the name of a powerful race within the demon clan. The ancestors claimed by this powerful demon race were the divine dragons he knew, and they were not in the mortal realm or the cultivation realm, but in the immortal realm.

Even so, "Dragon" as a symbol of power was recognized among mortals and cultivators in Dong Xuan Tian.

To dare to use "Zhan Long" as a name was indeed domineering.

"But this Zhan Long isn't about slaying the Dragon Clan or even the divine dragons. It simply refers to the emperor of the Da Yan Xian Dynasty," Li Jinrong said. "That's still quite domineering. The emperor of the Immortal Dynasty is not so easily defeated. Having such ambition is commendable."

Chu Shen was speechless: "It seems like you have a lot in common with that official Pei."

Li Jinrong sighed: "Who says otherwise?"

Her father was the emperor of the Great Tang Xian Dynasty, but he had no affection for her as a father would for his daughter. Besides the blood connection that proved their relationship, everything else was like that between a master and a tool.

This made her both afraid and resentful. If possible, she would also like to be a "filial daughter," but unfortunately, she didn't have the strength to do so.

Chu Shen also found the situation with the imperial family of the Xian Dynasty quite bizarre.

But upon further thought, these emperors of the Xian Dynasty were often highly cultivated practitioners, supported by the entire country. They usually lived very long lives, and it was normal for the passage of time to erode their humanity. They couldn't be viewed with the same perspective as ordinary people.

Not only those emperors who lived for a long time, but also many powerful cultivators in the cultivation world, it was difficult to say how much humanity they could maintain. He had heard countless strange stories about the mysterious endings of those powerful cultivators in their later years.

He couldn't help but sigh.

Perhaps, the fear of death was the only trace of humanity that many powerful cultivators possessed?

Just then, the Zhu Jing ship of the Da Yan Xian Dynasty had already approached to a considerable distance, and they could even hear the cries for help from the ship.

"What should we do? Should we save them or not?" Li Jinrong asked.

Chu Shen coldly said, "The four people on our ship are only at the Foundation Building and Qi Refining stages, and three of them are women. Besides, we have other matters to attend to. It's not appropriate to get involved in unnecessary events. Let's raise the neutral flag and avoid getting their blood on us."

Li Jinrong shrugged, "You have the final say."

Saying that, she hung the flag representing minding their own business on the flying boat.

On the Zhu Jing ship, hope was probably shattered, and despair overwhelmed them. They began to curse loudly, which made Chu Shen very angry.

Helping you is a matter of friendship, not helping is a matter of duty. It's already generous enough that I haven't shot you down, considering that the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty is currently my country of residence!

A thunderous light shot out from the flying boat belonging to the Langxuan Heavenly Palace, exploding above the Zhu Jing ship, but not causing any harm to it.

This was a warning from Chu Shen, informing the other party that there were spiritual weapons on the Langxuan Heavenly Palace's flying boat. It was normal for them to remain neutral, so they should stop running their mouths. Otherwise, he wouldn't mind giving them a taste of what it means to violate the sanctity of the holy land!

The people on the Zhu Jing ship fell silent, but their despair grew even stronger.

On the other hand, the flying boats of the Zhan Long Army became more excited.

They thought that Chu Shen would lend a hand to the Zhu Jing ship, but they didn't expect him to firmly refuse to help. This boosted their morale even more, and they charged straight towards the Zhu Jing ship.

With a loud bang, the two ships collided, and the high-spirited Zhan Long Army jumped onto the Zhu Jing ship, completely overwhelming their defense forces, who were already in complete despair.

Except for a few die-hard individuals who resisted stubbornly, most of the members on the Zhu Jing ship quickly gave up resistance...

As a new Zhan Long flag was raised on the Zhu Jing ship, cheers erupted.

The people remaining on the Zhu Jing ship began to clean up the battlefield, while the original Zhan Long Army flying boat approached Chu Shen's side.

Fortunately, they signaled with flags, indicating that they were just here to pay their respects to the Langxuan Heavenly Palace, rather than testing the differences between their flying boat and the one from the Langxuan Heavenly Palace.

This involved the matter of "the honor of the sect," so Chu Shen could only reduce the power of his flying boat and move alongside them, pretending to be equal.

"I am Jiao Cheng of the Zhan Long Army. May I ask which esteemed disciple of the holy land is on the other side?"

Chu Shen stood at the side of the ship and nodded towards Jiao Cheng: "My insignificant name is not worth mentioning. I have my own important matters to attend to and do not wish to get involved in the disputes of others. Please forgive me."

Seeing that he was unwilling to reveal his true identity, Jiao Cheng laughed heartily without any embarrassment: "You worry too much. The Dragon-Slaying Army acts with integrity. The main reason for besieging Zhu Jing's ship is to strike at the supply line of the Great Yan Xian Dynasty behind him. It is a surprise military operation, not the work of bandits!"

Chu Shen forced a smile and said, "It seems that you have gained a lot from this battle, but it may attract unwanted attention. I suggest we all leave quickly."

Little did he know if he was being a jinx, but just as he casually found an excuse to leave, a cry came from the clouds.

Jiao Cheng looked at him strangely.

Chu Shen awkwardly smiled and said, "This is definitely a coincidence..."

Then both sides saw a huge cloud whale emerge from the sea of clouds, falling heavily into another cloud sea like a jumping fish, causing a gust of wind.

Behind it, however, emerged a giant creature resembling an octopus, attempting to catch it and have a hearty meal.

The two giant beasts chased and fled, frightening the humans present who prayed for safety.

Fortunately, these two creatures were too engrossed in their pursuit and hunting, and had no interest in the flesh of humans, except for scaring Jiao Cheng and the others, nothing happened.

"General Jiao, it is not advisable to stay here for long. We should each go our own way," Chu Shen said.

Jiao Cheng, still shaken, nodded and said, "Indeed, this is not a place for conversation. If fate allows, we may meet again in the future..."

Suddenly, a soldier came from behind and said something.

Jiao Cheng's face lit up with joy as he nodded towards Chu Shen and said, "Are you Chu Shen, the young lord of Nanping City in Qizhou Prefecture?"
