Chapter 195 Boundless Sea
“Sect Master, do we have a misunderstanding? He might not have been sent by the Western Sect…”
“Brother Yi, you are a mature dragon. Don’t be fooled by his behavior.”
In the statue of the main temple, the Sect Master of the Sea God Sect and the Second Sect Master communicated with each other using their spiritual will for a while. Suddenly, they realized… that they could just have a conversation in the Pill Chamber without having to use their mental strength to communicate. It was relatively safer too.
When Ao Yi saw the middle-aged man… the middle-aged male dragon pacing around the hall for a long time, he was a little worried that he had misunderstood something.
Li Changshou explained briefly.
“This person seems to be hesitating, but he has been keeping his guard up and observing the statue. His gaze has never wavered. This proves that he has already made arrangements for what he is going to do next. Look, he has been hesitating all this while. Why is it that when he moves up the stairs, his steps seem to be stirring up winds beneath his feet?”
Ao Yi took a closer look and could not help but nod. He said in embarrassment, “Sect Master, you’re more careful at observing. So, Sect Master, what should we do next?”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “I’ve already made some arrangements. Brother Yi, just watch. If I can’t deal with this expert of the dragon race, I’ll need you to appear in time.”
Ao Yi hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, Sect Leader. If he dares to cause trouble here today, I will definitely not let him off!”
“There’s no need to rush. Let’s see what he does first. There’s a saying in the mortal world of humans that a person cannot eat stinky tofu if he’s anxious.”
“Sect Master, you’re right. Tofu wants to stink… Uh…”
Li Changshou could not help but laugh. Suddenly, he found the joy of riddles that were enjoyed by the Great Daoist Master.
Before the laughter in the Pill Chamber faded, the middle-aged dragon in the Sea God Temple of Anshui City had arrived at the main hall.
There were two purple horns on the dragon’s head. It was dressed in luxurious brocade clothes. Its face was malicious and insidious, and its gaze was sharp. At that moment, it was about to enter.
However, just as he raised his left foot, he suddenly shouted from the side,
“Stop!”
The middle-aged male dragon frowned slightly. He looked at the direction of the voice and stepped into the main hall.
A burly man from Xiong Village in a bear-hide jacket and a mountain-like build walked over.
That bear, ahem, that person could be considered the strongest expert in the Xiong Village.
From the perspective of the Qi Refinement cultivators, he was only at the second-stage of the Dao Requital realm. He was not a mediocre person.
However, his entire body exuded a murderous aura. His body was so strong that it was almost terrifying. It seemed to contain the power that could subdue dragons and tigers!
That person was not anyone else. He married a beautiful female Qi Refinement cultivator in Xiong Village. He had knocked out his eldest daughter, Xiong Lingli, on countless lonely nights. Now, he was the sixth Guardian of the Sea God Sect. He was the future chief of Xiong Village appointed by the Sea God!
However, Third Brother Xiong was his former name. He now had a great name personally bestowed by the Sea God-Xiong Buhan!
Xiong Buhan’s expression was solemn. He walked to the middle-aged male dragon and asked rather politely, “Where did you come from? Why did you come to the main Sea God temple?”
“Get out of the way.” The middle-aged male dragon shouted in a hostile manner. He said coldly, “I have something to do with the Sea God. Who are you to speak, you Magihuman?”
When Ao Yi heard that, he felt rather infuriated.
If not for the fact that Ao Yi had placed his spiritual will on his statue, which was equivalent to a jade statue, he would have rushed forward and kicked the middle-aged male dragon away!
What kind of nonsense was that?
Although the fact that the Xiong Village Divine Envoys were Magihumans was an objective fact, his intention to sow discord was clear.
The dragon race was indeed troublesome. How dare they come here to cause trouble!?!
However, as the middle-aged male dragon and Ao Yi had expected, Xiong Buhan did not fly into a rage…
Xiong Buhan frowned and pondered for a while. He heard the Sea God’s voice in his heart…
Therefore, Xiong Buhan said clearly, “We, the people of Xiong Village have received the blessings of the Sea God. We have been appointed by the Sea God to become the Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect. We have spread the teachings of the Sea God Sect in various places to protect the disciples of the Sea God Sect. This is the Sea God Sect’s temple. I’m the Guardian of the Sea God Sect. Why can’t I speak?”
As he spoke, a golden ray of light shone on Xiong Buhan’s chest. It was a small shield formed from incense merit. On it were the words ‘Guardian of the Sea God Sect’.
“I told you to retreat.” The middle-aged male dragon placed his hands behind his back and looked at him with flared nostrils. “Why? Your only advantage is that your body is not bad. Do you still want to fight me?”
Li Changshou continued to send a voice transmission to Xiong Buhan. He did not forget to remind Xiong Buhan to pay attention to the changes in his expression and emotions.
Xiong Buhan frowned and asked coldly, “Are you a member of the Sea God Sect?”
The dragon said, “No, so what?”.
“Are you the True Dragon Guardian of the Sea God Sect?”
The dragon continued, “Not really. What do you think?”
Xiong Buhan nodded calmly and smiled. “Since you’re not a member of the Sea God Sect or the True Dragon Guardian, what reason have you to enter the important land of the Sea God Sect?”
The middle-aged male dragon’s mouth twitched slightly. He said coldly, “I will join the Sea God Sect now and become a devotee of the Sea God Sect. How about that?”
Xiong Buhan laughed and secretly sent a voice transmission in his heart. He said calmly, “Sorry, we won’t accept you.”
“You!”
The middle-aged male dragon was furious. He glared at Xiong Buhan and took another step forward. He forced his body into the main hall and smiled provocatively.
“I just came in like this. What can you do about it?!”
In the Pill Chamber, Ao Yi could not help but grit his teeth in anger.
“This bastard! He’s asking for a beating!”
“He probably wants the Divine Envoy of Xiong Village to attack.” Li Changshou analyzed carefully. A thought flashed in his mind and he suddenly thought of a possibility.
That matter was possibly planned by the experts from the Western Sect, excluding Daoist Wen Jing.
That dragon had deliberately exposed its whereabouts and wandered around the place a few times, letting the mortals rush to the Sea God Temple. It also made the True Dragon Guardians of the Sea God Sect, who usually cultivated at the edge of the South Ocean, notice that place…
Then, he deliberately asked for a beating…
Could it be that he would fall in the next battle, then he would try to rely on the Sea God Sect?
Is he trying to cheat? The experts from the Western Sect, the dragon race, and the fraud… Master Zhao had once said that he had dealt with many experts from the Western Sect…
No, it’s not that simple!
The dragon who is at the peak of the Heaven Immortal realm, is not a tool of the Western Sect or the dragon race. He is just a bait!
Li Changshou suddenly came to a realization. A new story line formed in his heart.
Interesting. He had encountered the ancestor of scams!
Li Changshou immediately said to Ao Yi, “Brother Yi, I’ll immediately send a dragon expert that you can trust to come to Anshui City. I’ll stabilize this dragon first! If I’m not wrong, someone must have done something to this dragon. It could die here at any time!”
Ao Yi was stunned. He did not ask why. Instead, he took out a palm-sized jade token and pressed it a few times. He activated the restriction and spoke hurriedly to the jade token.
On the other side, Li Changshou controlled the paper Daoist and sent another voice transmission to Xiong Buhan.
“I’ll deal with him first. Retreat immediately and close the door of the temple. I’ll bring some people to persuade the mortals to leave…”
As such, Li Changshou gave Xiong Buhan a few detailed instructions.
At that moment, Xiong Buhan, who could not help but clench his fists, did not dare to go against the Sea God’s orders. He thought about the joyful event of his wife giving birth to their third child soon, and smiled happily.
That smile made the male dragon puzzled.
Xiong Buhan even turned around and made an inviting gesture…
“I can’t do anything to you, Sir. Please go ahead, but I hope that you will respect my Sea God.”
Xiong Buhan turned around and left without looking back. The dragon was stunned. He did not expect that the Magihuman would not attack him even though he was in such a state!
Didn’t the black shadow say that the Magihumans are not smart?
The middle-aged male dragon could not help but think about the black shadow and the few words that the black shadow said…
The Golden Immortal opportunity and the Dao Fruit of Longevity, were the plans for the day… The middle-aged male dragon squinted and raised his left palm towards Xiong Buhan. He gently clenched his fingers and a suction force appeared in his palm.
Xiong Buhan, who was already 100 feet away, staggered backward.
However, Xiong Buhan reacted extremely quickly. He immediately got into a horse’s stance and lowered his body. He heard two soft cracking sounds as his huge feet broke two pieces of stone slabs!
His body barely stabilized!
“Did I say that you can leave?”
The middle-aged male dragon said coldly. It was just a casual action of his just now and was about to increase the intensity.
At that moment, a figure emerged from the broken stone slab on the ground and blocked Xiong Buhan.
This person had white hair, white beard, and a thin face. He held a horsetail whisk in his hand and wore a white Daoist robe. He exuded calm Dao runes.
The middle-aged male dragon frowned slightly.
He could not tell that the old immortal in front of him was an incarnation. He had thought that an early-stage Heaven Immortal cultivator had suddenly appeared.
Naturally, it was Li Changshou’s paper effigy that was dressed as an old immortal.
Li Changshou gently flung his horsetail whisk and smiled. “Fellow Daoist, why are you here?”
The middle-aged male dragon said coldly, “Who are you?”
Xiong Buhan, who had yet to leave, turned around and shouted, “This is an elder of our Sea God Sect! Don’t be too arrogant!”
“Alright, quickly go, Buhan!”
“Yes, Elder.” Xiong Buhan chuckled and strode out of the main hall of the temple. He called over ten Divine Envoys outside and began to chase away the mortals in the temple.
Li Changshou suddenly realized that while he treated Xiong Buhan as a junior, Xiong Buhan’s daughter also regarded him as her cousin and addressed him that way every day.
To each his own. It was true. Li Changshou shook his horsetail whisk and smiled. “Fellow Daoist, why don’t you come with me to the rear hall? If you have anything urgent, please tell me. I will definitely report it to the Sea God for you.”
“Hmph, I just think that your Sea God Sect is too overbearing and tyrannical!”
The middle-aged male dragon made a claw with his left hand, and a ball of flames flickered within. “I’m not afraid to tell you that I’m here to destroy your Sea God statue today!
How could the Second Prince of my race, Ao Yi, submit to a mere Sea God!
The Sea God Sect should belong to the dragon race!”
In the Pill Chamber, the veins on Ao Yi’s forehead bulged. He wished he could teleport to Anshui City and fight the dragon. Every single word of his exposed his hidden motives!
His intention to cause trouble was obvious!
To think that he thought that the dragon really had something important to do…
However, there were a few chuckles in the hall.
“Yes, I think so too.” The paper effigy disguised as an old Daoist held the horsetail whisk and nodded with a smile. “I think what you said makes sense.”
The middle-aged male dragon was stunned. He frowned and stared at the old man in front of him, his mouth twitching slightly.
Aren’t you angry? Why aren’t you attacking?
Whether it was the Magihumans or the Heavenly Immortal realm Elders, as long as someone from the Sea God Sect from the South Sea Sect attacked, he would immediately act according to plan. He would fly out and fall in front of the hall. He would vomit blood and severely injure himself.
That’s right. All he had to do was do that and he would have a chance to become a Golden Immortal!
The middle-aged male dragon gritted his teeth and immediately took a few steps forward.
Li Changshou quickly jumped to the side and smiled. “Fellow Daoist, why don’t you just attack and smash the statue of the main God?”
“Oh? Why didn’t you stop me?”
“Why should I stop you, Fellow Daoist?” Li Changshou spread his hands out. “The dragon race has contributed greatly to the construction of this place. You are a member of the dragon race. If you want to smash this place, just do it. This is reasonable. Who dares to say that it’s not allowed?”
Li Changshou then said warmly, “Fellow Daoist, why don’t you sit down and rest for a while? I’ll call a few Divine Envoys over right now. How can I have the cheek to let you carry out these physically-taxing tasks personally?” The middle-aged male dragon almost cursed out loud. However, he sneered and pounced on Li Changshou’s paper effigy! However, at that moment, the paper effigy was only smiling with his eyes narrowed. He slowly took out a pearl from his sleeve.
The large Shadow-Retaining Pearl?
The middle-aged male dragon paused and looked a little apprehensive.
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, look at this pearl. It’s big and round. This is a Dharma artifact that I have modified. It is called the Dual Sound-Shadow Pearl. At this moment, every action and expression of yours from the moment you landed in front of the hall to now, has been recorded in the Sound-Shadow Pearl. The image recorded by the pearl would be stored in another Sound-Shadow Pearl that is complementary to it. In other words, even if you destroy the pearl, the recording of what you have done is protected in a secret place five thousand kilometers away.”
The middle-aged male dragon’s expression changed drastically. His eyes were filled with ruthlessness. At that moment, he was about to kill the old Daoist and destroy the Sound-Shadow Pearl.
However, just as he was about to move, Li Changshou gently flicked his horsetail whisk.
“Fellow Daoist, please take a closer look at your surroundings before you decide if you want to be rough with me today.”
The middle-aged male dragon scanned his surroundings with his immortal senses and his expression changed.
Before that, he had not noticed the eyeballs of the two statues and the Shadow Pearls that were embedded under the eaves of the main hall, as well as the other corners.
After taking a glance, he realized that there were actually more than ten Shadow-Retaining Pearls!
The middle-aged male dragon’s face was gloomy. However, Li Changshou smiled and sighed.
“Fellow Daoist, the ocean of fraud is boundless. Turn around and return to shore. I think you are fated with the Sea God Sect. Why don’t you listen to my teachings? If you hear it, I won’t tell anyone about what happened today. How about that?”
“You…”
The middle-aged male dragon frowned and sighed softly.
Forget it. He really did not have the life of a Golden Immortal. The matter had been messed up. “Hmph, goodbye!” The middle-aged male dragon flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave the hall.
However, just as he took two steps, something unexpected happened! A sanguine glow suddenly surged out from the dragon’s left shoulder. The sanguine glow condensed into a long sword that was slashed at the middle-aged male dragon’s neck!
