Chapter 684: Flooding Chentang Pass!
The Dragon King of the East Ocean wanted to go to the Heavenly Courts to report to the Heavenly Courts. He used the power of the Heavenly Courts to offset the pressure of Chan School. Naturally, he temporarily appeased the dragon race.
Now that the Heavenly Courts’ aura had already suppressed the Saint’s sect, it was indeed a good plan that the dragon race could choose.
A portion of the dragon race still felt that they should not submit to the Heavenly Courts. At most, they should be guest elders like the Ancient Demon Court.
However, it was not impossible to “use” the power of the Heavenly Courts.
The old Dragon King lit up the ceremonial post and led the two elders and three officials. There were also guards who led the way and maidservants who followed them. They headed towards the East Heavenly Gate.
When the Dragon King arrived near the East Heavenly Gate, Li Jing, who had left half a day earlier, was still rushing on the way.
He rode on the clouds and passed through the sea of smoke. The blue sea and blue sky looked for the middle gate.
When the old Dragon King arrived at the East Heavenly Gate, he ordered the carriage to stop and led the elders and the Turtle Minister to the Heavenly Gate.
The Heavenly Generals guarding the door cupped their fists and bowed. One of the generals smiled and said, “Why are you in a hurry, Dragon King? Is there something important? Oh, we have no intention of stopping you, Dragon King. We just need you to tell us the purpose of this trip.”
Killing Might.
The Dragon King of the East Ocean frowned slightly. Behind him, an elder of the dragon race said, “A disciple of a large sect killed the Third Prince of the East Ocean Dragon Palace. Today, I came and asked the Heavenly Courts to help the Dragon Palace seek an explanation.”
The Heavenly Generals looked at each other and revealed shocked expressions. One of them shook his hands in anger and shouted,
“Ah! Who is so bold? The prince of the Dragon Palace actually killed him!”
Another Heavenly General said, “It’s a coincidence. Marshal Ao Yi is not in the Heavenly Courts. He went to the trichiliocosm to lead troops in battle. Otherwise, I don’t know how sad Marshal Ao Yi would be if he knew about this.”
The Dragon King of the East Ocean said slowly, “Generals, can I enter the Heavenly Courts?”
“Please, please.”
The Heavenly Generals turned their bodies and made an inviting gesture. The Dragon King of the East Ocean nodded and rode a cloud forward.
However, the Heavenly Generals looked at the two elders and the three Turtle Ministers.
Above the Heavenly Gate, the Demon-Slaying Sword in the three divine swords began to tremble slightly.
A Heavenly General immediately walked forward and said, “Dragon King, you are the legitimate god of the Heavenly Courts and the Patriarch of the dragon race. You can enter the Heavenly Courts directly. However, the two elders and the three officials of the Dragon Palace are not part of the Heavenly Courts’ sequence…”
As he spoke, the Heavenly General pointed at the three divine swords above the Heavenly Gate. The living beings of the Dragon Palace frowned.
Another Heavenly General said, “Why don’t we do this? Dragon King, you go in first. We’ll go to the Hall of Enlightenment to report. As long as we obtain the entry token, we’ll let you in.”
“Okay.”
The Dragon King said calmly and rode a cloud forward.
The Heavenly Generals heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly reported to the Hall of Enlightenment.
The two dragon elders and the three officials only frowned and looked at the Dragon King’s back worriedly.
His expression made it seem like the Dragon King of the East Ocean was a weak girl.
Not long after the Dragon King of the East Ocean flew, a Heavenly General came to guide him.
The Dragon King and the Heavenly General looked at each other. The former’s frown eased a little, and the latter made a simple gesture to the Dragon King.
The person was naturally Li Changshou. The Dragon King saw through his disguise at a glance.
The Dragon King of the East Ocean had come to the Heavenly Courts to complain this time. Actually, it would be best if the elders of the dragon race and the Turtle Prime Minister followed. They were in charge of spreading what the Heavenly Courts had seen and heard. Logically, the Heavenly Courts should not stop them. The Dragon King of the East Ocean was also slightly puzzled.
However, at that moment, Li Changshou had taken the initiative to look for him. The Dragon King of the East Ocean immediately understood why he had to temporarily block his followers outside.
It was just the script.
Li Changshou said, “Dragon King, my condolences.”
“Ah.” The Dragon King sighed softly. “Please mediate, Lord Taibai Jinxing. Don’t let my son die for nothing.”
The old Dragon King’s words were really flawless.
Outsiders would think that the Dragon King had asked Li Changshou to make the decision to punish Li Jing and his son, Nezha.
However, in the ears of the strategists who stood at the highest level, it could be considered as asking Li Changshou to continue with the act and achieve the goal of making the dragon race innovate internally.
“There has been a commotion on the God roll. The three sons of the Dragon King have not been killed. Changgeng will definitely do his best.”
The old Dragon King said, “There’s no need for a battle between the human race and the dragon race. We can live together.”
Li Changshou said, “The selfish desires of living beings can be suppressed by living beings.”
The dragon and man looked at each other and smiled. Li Changshou lowered his head and made an inviting gesture. He retracted all his Dao rune aura and imitated the Heavenly General’s usual demeanor and actions. He led the Dragon King to the Hall of Enlightenment.
At the same time, in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
The Jade Emperor sat on the throne with a smile. His white clothes were not stained with dust. There were no other officials in the hall. At that moment, the important ministers of the Heavenly Courts were gathered in the Hall of Enlightenment. Marshal Quan Dong was naturally not absent. He waited in the corner for the show to begin.
The Jade Emperor naturally knew that it was a good thing for the Heavenly Courts to dampen the spirits of the dragon race and prevent the dragon race from expanding too quickly.
This wave was suppressed by the Heavenly Courts, Chan School, and the human race. The Heavenly Courts only needed to mediate today. The anger of the dragon race would naturally intensify.
Next, he had to wait for the dragon race to make a mistake and the Heavenly Courts to punish them.
“Changgeng is still impressive. He analyzed the matter so simply with just a few words. The dragon race should be unlucky to have to interfere in the Great Tribulation.”
The Jade Emperor praised. Then, he recalled that Li Changshou would leave the Heavenly Courts in a few decades. He could not help but feel depressed.
He still did not think of a wonderful reason for Changgeng to stay.
At the Central Heavenly Gate, a stream of light flashed. Li Jing’s breathing was a little rapid as he appeared. He raised his sword and walked forward. He cupped his fists and bowed to the Heavenly General guarding the door.
“I’m Li Jing, the commander of the troops of Chentang Pass. I’d like to see you!”
“Commander Li, don’t say anything!”
The Heavenly General guarding the gate took a step forward and cupped his hands at Li Jing. He turned around and invited, “The carriage is ready. There’s no time to explain. Please get in the carriage first.”
In the Heaven Gate, two batches of Heavenly Horses pulled a carriage from afar. The Heavenly Horses neighed and the carriage rumbled. They were indeed not slow.
“Thank you.”
Li Jing cupped his hands and thanked him. He immediately rushed to the carriage. The three divine swords above the Heavenly Gate did not react.
When Li Jing entered the Heavenly Courts and was pulled to the Hall of Enlightenment by the Heavenly Horse, the Heavenly General guarding the door immediately crushed the jade talisman in his sleeve.
At the East Heavenly Gate, a Heavenly General rode a cloud and rushed over from the direction of the Hall of Enlightenment. He held a token in his hand and shouted from afar, “The Hall of Enlightenment has orders to allow the two elders of the dragon race and the three officials to enter the Heavenly Courts!”
The Demon-Slaying Sword instantly fell silent. The dragon race heaved a sigh of relief. They entered the Heaven Gate under the escort of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals and rushed to the Hall of Enlightenment.
After they left, the Heavenly Generals guarding the door looked at each other and chuckled.
A Heavenly General walked out of the corner and retracted a thin thread that was stuck to the Demon-Slaying Divine Sword.
In fact, the three Turtle Ministers could barely be considered auxiliary gods in the Heavenly Courts’ system. They were of a higher grade than the Sea Patrol Yaksha.
It was just a small trick.
Everyone had stood outside the Grand White Palace before. They had never heard Lord Taibai Jinxing preach the Dao with their own ears. Had they not seen Lord Taibai Jinxing’s heroic bearing as he rode a cloud?
Taibai Jinxing was very cultured.
…
The old Dragon King arrived in front of the Hall of Enlightenment. The general who led him there went to the side of the hall to wait.
More than ten old Heavenly Courts officials walked out of the hall. The first was General Dongmu.
General Dongmu laughed and cupped his hands to the Dragon King. The Dragon King naturally cupped his hands and returned the greeting, but he smiled bitterly.
General Dongmu asked, “The Dragon King looks furious. Did something happen?”
“Ah.” The Dragon King heaved a long sigh and actually burst into tears. “It’s a pity that my son is less than a hundred years old. He actually suffered a vicious attack and died early. I hope that the Heavenly Courts can help the Dragon Palace!”
As he spoke, the Dragon King bowed and General Dongmu hurriedly went forward to support him.
“The Dragon King is too polite. Why is the Dragon King so polite?
Quick, let’s go to the hall and talk about it. Coincidentally, all the ministers are discussing here. Let everyone be witnesses.”
The old Dragon King nodded. A bitter smile appeared on his dragon head as he entered the Hall of Enlightenment with General Dongmu.
The Hall of Enlightenment was the “center” of the Heavenly Courts’ handling of all kinds of matters. From there, it could reach the Lingxiao Hall and connect to the various Immortal God and Judicial Sectors of the Heavenly Courts. There were several righteous gods on duty every day and night, and they would change shifts regularly.
However, today, the Hall of Enlightenment was slightly crowded. Not only were the officials in the corners of the Hall of Enlightenment seated, but two-thirds of the officials and generals of the Heavenly Courts were also seated.
Soon, the Dragon King of the East Ocean sat in a round chair. The round chair was a little narrow. The Dragon King’s burly figure could barely sit in, causing his figure to be restrained.
General Dongmu sat in the main seat of the hall. In front of him was a long desk. Behind him were more than ten old officials. At that moment, they all revealed benevolent, warm, and beautiful smiles.
“Dragon King, my condolences,” General Dongmu said warmly. “The Heavenly Courts is deeply regretful about your son’s encounter. We share the pain of the Dragon Palace. The Dragon King came to the Heavenly Courts to complain. May I know who he is complaining to?”
The Dragon King of the East Ocean sighed and said, “I’d like to sue the human at Chentang Pass, Li Jing, for covering up for his son and abusing him. I want to lodge a complaint against the son of Li Jing, Nezha, for running rampant in Chentang and killing my son.”
He gasped and asked, “Which Li Jing?”
General Dongmu gasped and hurriedly said, “Is this person a disciple of Ren School?”
“It’s naturally the in-name disciple of Perfected Du’e of the Kunlun Mountain,” the Dragon King said seriously. “This person does not cultivate purely and does not know righteousness. He covets the prosperity of the mortal world, wants to marry a wife, have children, and is reluctant to let go of the power of the mortal world…”
General Dongmu said, “Please wait, Dragon King. I’ll investigate Li Jing’s background and see if there’s anything special.”
“Yes!” A response came from the corner, followed by the sound of pages flipping.
The Dragon King of the East Ocean closed his eyes and waited. During this process, the two dragon elders and the three Turtle Ministers rushed to the Hall of Enlightenment and stood in the middle of the hall behind the Dragon King.
It was as if he was being interrogated.
A carriage flew past the sky. Li Jing hid under the cover of a Heavenly General and escaped into the sea of clouds. He approached the Hall of Enlightenment.
“Found it!”
In the corner of the hall, the Spirit Official Wang stood up and rushed to General Dongmu with a jade token. He handed the jade token to General Dongmu and whispered, “General Dongmu, Li Jing’s background is here.”
“Tell me,” General Dongmu said calmly.
Spirit Official Wang whispered, “General Dongmu, you should take a look first…”
“Tell me!”
General Dongmu glared at Spirit Official Wang and cursed, “What are you afraid of? This is the Heavenly Courts! It’s the Hall of Enlightenment! The Jade Emperor is behind us! He is really not afraid of being laughed at by the Dragon King! Just read it out loud!”
“Well…”
“Read it!”
Spirit Official Wang looked helpless. He lowered his head and smiled bitterly. He held the jade token and said loudly, “Li Jing was born in Chentang Town. When he was young, he witnessed the demons wreaking havoc in the northeast of the South Continent. With the desire to protect his hometown, he traveled through mountains and rivers and rushed to the East Continent to search for his immortal destiny. By chance, he was brought to the Immortal Du Sect and entered it. He had succeeded in cultivating. He had obtained the admiration of Taibai Jinxing, the legitimate god of the Heavenly Courts, after being born in the Immortal Du Sect. He had given him many blessings. Later, he returned to Chentang Town to kill demons. He had accumulated merit and was accepted by Taibai Jinxing as a grandson… Li Jing’s reputation gradually rose. He obtained the recognition of the Human Emperor and joined the army of Chentang Pass to consolidate the northeast area of the South Continent.
He has three sons. Jinzha is the disciple of Daoist Wen Shu, the Saint of the Jade Void Palace. The second child is the disciple of the Saint of the Jade Void Palace, Daoist Ci Hang. His third son, Nezha, is the disciple of the Saint of the Jade Void Palace, Perfected Taiyi.
I have to explain. Nezha is the reincarnation of Ling Zhuzi. Ling Zhuzi is Perfected Taiyi’s disciple. He has been in the Heavenly Courts for many years and is Taibai Jinxing’s beloved general.”
“Alright, alright! You have a loud voice, don’t you!?!”
General Dongmu frowned and interrupted Spirit Official Wang’s “loud and emotional” recital. He snatched the jade token and held it in his hand to observe it carefully. His expression gradually changed.
When the Dragon King saw that, his expression gradually turned cold. When the two dragon elders saw that, their eyes were filled with grief and indignation.
In the Hall of Enlightenment, the righteous gods were silent.
A general pondered for a while and said slowly, “Li Jing must not be a bad person to be recognized by Lord Taibai Jinxing. The problem is most likely with Chan School…”
“Be careful with your words! Chan School has always paid attention to following and placing importance on their luck. I’ve seen this Ling Zhuzi before. He has a gentle personality and is rather polite. He doesn’t seem to have the personality to kill others at will.”
“Yes, yes. I’ve heard about Ling Zhuzi’s reincarnation. It’s impossible for him to kill a dragon for no reason.”
“That’s right. That delicate-looking little immortal is also the good brother of the Grand Yin Star Lord’s maidservant.”
A shout came from the corner. “My third brother’s reincarnation will definitely not do anything unreasonable to kill my second brother! There must be a misunderstanding!”
Everyone looked at the corner. Bian Zhuang, who had shouted just now, instantly shrank his neck and whispered, “That’s my guess.”
The Dragon King closed his eyes and did not say anything. He seemed to have understood the situation today.
General Dongmu cleared his throat and said in a low voice, “Dragon King, do you think… we need to investigate this matter in detail and summon Li Jing and his son to the Heavenly Courts to ask about it before we see how to convict them?”
Before the Dragon King of the East Ocean could say anything, an elder of the dragon race sighed and said, “Could it be that the Heavenly Courts is also trying to protect us and ignore the word ‘justice’? Our Third Prince has been beaten to death by Nezha!”
“Logically speaking, the dead are indeed important.” General Dongmu sighed and said, “However, this matter concerns the adopted son of Lord Taibai Jinxing. Why don’t we go to the Lingxiao Hall and ask the Jade Emperor to make a decision?”
“There’s no need.” The Dragon King of the East Ocean stood up. His twin dragon eyes were filled with loneliness. “The Heavenly Courts only needs to say if they can decide for the Dragon Palace.”
“Well…”
At that moment, a shout came from outside the Hall of Enlightenment.
“General Li Jing of Chentang Pass! I was summoned by the Hall of Enlightenment to explain the conflict with the dragon race!”
The Dragon King and the two elders of the dragon race looked angry. One of the elders turned to glare at General Dongmu and the other righteous gods, as if he was about to attack.
The two elders and the three Turtle Ministers were not stupid. How could they not understand?
They chatted for a long time. The Hall of Enlightenment had long gone to inform Li Jing to come up and confront them.
The Dragon Palace was in the wrong. However, the Heavenly Courts had chosen to help Taibai Jinxing’s foster son from the beginning and not the East Ocean Dragon Palace!
An elder was about to question him when the Dragon King raised his hand to signal him not to say anything. The people from the Dragon Palace were livid and stared at the door of the Hall of Enlightenment.
Li Jing walked over quickly with his sword in hand. When he saw the Dragon King, he bowed and jumped over the threshold of the hall. He bowed deeply to the righteous gods in the hall.
“Li Jing greets the Heavenly Gods and the Dragon King.”
General Dongmu nodded with a smile and said warmly, “Nephew, there’s no need to be so polite. Nephew, there’s no need to be so polite. Someone, move a seat. Let’s sit and talk.”
Wang Ling immediately rushed to the side and moved a round chair that was exactly the same as the Dragon King’s. He placed it beside the Dragon King’s chair.
Following that, General Dongmu looked at the Dragon King of the East Ocean and smiled. “Dragon King, why don’t you sit down and have a good chat? Spread the truth. The Heavenly Courts is willing to mediate between the two of you. How about that?”
The Dragon King of the East Ocean seemed to hesitate. He looked at Li Jing and the immortals in the hall.
The two dragon elders were really angry. The three Turtle Ministers did not dare to say anything.
“Forget it.
The Dragon King of the East Ocean sighed softly. His long sleeve fluttered, and the chair beside Li Jing exploded.
The Dragon King turned his head slightly to look at Li Jing. Li Jing’s face was solemn, but his gaze was extremely firm as he looked at the Dragon King.
After a while, the Dragon King said calmly, “Let’s go.”
He left with the dragon elder and the Turtle Ministers in the sea.
General Dongmu hurriedly stood up and said, “Spirit Official Wang, send the Dragon King off!”
“Yes!” Wang Shan accepted the order and quickly chased after the Dragon King.
In the Hall of Enlightenment, Li Jing heaved a sigh of relief. He sensed the kind gazes around him and stood up to bow to everyone.
“Thank you for taking care of me, righteous gods. This matter was initiated by the son of the Dragon King. He wanted to set up a killing trap to harm my son, Nezha. Fortunately, Nezha has the protection of the treasures bestowed by Perfected Taiyi. That is how he survived. If Li Jing tells any lies, I’m willing to bear the pain of the Heavenly Punishment and my soul will dissipate immediately.”
General Dongmu smiled and said, “Chief Soldier Li, there’s no need to say anything. Quickly return to Chentang Pass.”
“That’s right.” An old immortal said worriedly, “The dragon race is clearly emotional. We can’t underestimate the strength of the dragon race. They are an ancient race.”
“Our Heavenly Courts should do something. We can’t let Generalissimo Li be bullied by the dragon race.”
“The human disciples that Lord Taibai Jinxing thinks highly of will not be bad.”
“The dragon race is in the wrong and still wants to complain. Really… Tsk, it’s hard to say.”
Li Jing lowered his head and sighed. His smile was a little bitter. He bowed to the immortals and gods and turned around to leave in a hurry. He was sent back to Chentang Pass by the Central Heaven Gate.
In the Hall of Enlightenment, the immortals had yet to disperse. Li Changgeng, an ordinary minister of the Heavenly Courts with white eyebrows and white hair, rode a cloud and chatted with everyone about the next development route of the Heavenly Courts.
It was as if nothing had happened.
…
Ping!
Crash!
In the hall of the East Ocean Dragon Palace, the Dragon King of the East Ocean, who had been dull for countless years, finally revealed his anger today. He knocked away the wine that the Sea Maiden had brought and kicked the throne made of pearl agate.
The Dragon King of the East Ocean sat on the throne with a gloomy expression. The three Dragon Kings of the West Ocean, South Ocean, and North Ocean, who were sitting beside him, were silent. The hundreds of dragon elders and dragon sons standing in the hall did not even dare to breathe.
A dragon plucked up his courage and asked, “Is the trip to the Heavenly Courts not smooth?”
“It’s not just not smooth.” The dragon elders who had followed the Dragon King to the Heavenly Courts stood up. They spoke one after another, telling him about their encounter in detail.
The change in the expressions of the Heavenly Courts’ gods, Taibai Jinxing’s power.
Li Jing’s sudden arrival meant that the gods were clearly biased.
A dragon expert said angrily, “The Heavenly Courts is actually like that! Like that!”
“Lord Taibai Jinxing is really invicible. However, don’t forget that if not for the support of our dragon race, he would not have successfully obtained the Jade Emperor’s appreciation previously!”
“That’s a little overboard. The Grand Pure One is behind Lord Taibai Jinxing. If not for Lord Taibai Jinxing’s help, we would have long become toys in the hands of the Western Sect. At that moment, we have already exhausted the lives of our clansmen. Lord Taibai Jinxing has done the dragon race a huge favor. However, this matter involves Lord Taibai Jinxing’s adopted son, so the immortals of the Heavenly Courts do not dare to say anything. Don’t be disrespectful to the Lord.”
“Since when do the dragon race have to rely on others to live!?!”
“Getting on my nerves!”
“The Third Prince cannot die for nothing. I must let Li Jing and his son die for the Third Prince!”
“Yes! Let the father and son die together!”
“If the dragon race yields this time, the dragon race will no longer have dignity in the future. We will definitely become the laughing stock of all races!”
“Where did the tens of thousands of races come from? Now, they are just immortals, demons, demons, and ghosts. Our dragon race doesn’t even have a name. We have already been reduced to an inconspicuous small tribe in the Ten Thousand Spirit Race.”
“Go and find them!”
“Ask them for an explanation. If they can’t do it, we’ll wash their Chentang Pass with blood!”
“Shut up!”
On the throne, the West Ocean Dragon King, who had a bad temper, shouted angrily. The dragons fell silent.
The West Ocean Dragon King stood up and cupped his hands at the East Ocean Dragon King.
“Brother, how should we deal with this matter? You should make a decision as soon as possible. Don’t let everyone continue arguing.”
The Dragon King of the East Ocean fell silent.
The Dragon King of the South Ocean also said, “That’s the attitude of the Heavenly Courts. Now, it’s equivalent to facing the pressure of the Heavenly Courts and Chan School joining forces. With Li Jing’s human background, it’s something that we have to consider. In other words, we might be suppressed by the combined forces of Chan School and the Heavenly Courts. Although Lord Taibai Jinxing and I have not interacted much, we should know that he is an extremely protective person.”
“The previous act of the human race invading Heaven is still right before us.” The North Ocean Dragon King shook his head. “If this matter alerts the Fire Cloud Cave or the ancient emperor gives the order to gather the human immortals of the Middle Continent… We have to be careful.”
The Dragon King of the South Ocean shook his head. “However, if we forget about it, our dragon race will be destroyed. We will be suppressed by the Heavenly Courts and Chan School. What else can happen in the future?”
“Let the elders decide.”
The Dragon King of the East Ocean sighed softly. “Gather the elders of the Four Seas here. Apart from the elders guarding the Sea Eye, everyone is here. Fight or make peace, the entire race will discuss.”
The other three Dragon Kings nodded and agreed. The dragons below remained silent, but they were thinking about something.
Three days later, in the crowded hall of the East Ocean Dragon Palace.
The dragon-headed elders and dragon generals stood quietly. The Dragon King on the throne made a simple gesture, and half of the dragon experts moved.
Among the half of the dragon experts, one-third stood on the left, and two-thirds stood on the right.
Following that, a few elders stood out from the left and right sides and began to persuade the dragons who had yet to make a choice.
The elder on the right kept saying that the dragon race was in danger.
According to the, the human race had been the protagonist of the world and the dragon race had been cultivating and resting for many years. The two of them were originally peaceful. However, the Third Prince had been killed by Nezha. If the dragon race remains silent, all living beings in the world would think that the dragon race is easy to bully.
That was not unreasonable. It was the dignity of the dragon race and the lifeline of the dragon race. It was related to whether the dragon race could continue to stand in the five continents of the Primordial World.
“If we swallow our anger this time, we might as well move to the trichiliocosm in the future. We will only be mocked by the other races here!”
Most of the elders on the left were old. At that moment, they looked worried.
A dragon-headed elder persuaded earnestly, “Now that the dragon race has just been revived, why must they oppose the human race? We have some heritage and many experts, but how can we ignore the strength of the human race? The Heavenly Courts represent the position of the human race. The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals are all from the human race! If we fight with the human race, we will lose our lives in the end even if we can win for a while. What does this have to do with the dignity of the dragon race? The lifeblood of the dragon race? The Third Prince was killed by a child and is still unreasonable. How can we just admit our mistakes and abandon our dignity? When did our dragon race become so arrogant? Have you forgotten the teachings of the Ancestral Dragon? If you continue to cause trouble like this, the dragon race will not be able to survive for long!”
Half of the dragons who were standing now had their own choices. They walked to the left and right.
An hour later, the elders made their own choices.
75% of them were standing on the main battlefield on the right.
25% of them were standing on the left.
On the coral throne, the Dragon King of the East Ocean was sitting upright. His expression was neither sad nor happy. When he saw that the results had been decided below, he slowly nodded.
“We will have a battle with Chentang Pass. Return to your positions and decide how to fight.”
At that moment, the elders of the dragon race messed up their positions again and chose again.
This time, 70% of the people who wanted to take Li Jing and Nezha’s lives had given up on the remaining 20%.
After everything was settled, the Dragon Kings of the four seas stood up. With a shout, they set off. The Crystal Palace was in an uproar. A large number of Dragon Palace experts flew out of the Crystal Palace’s door.
After a while, azure dragons emerged from the sea and entrenched themselves above the East Ocean. They used their mystical abilities and created clouds.
Dark clouds appeared in the world, and endless figures appeared on the sea.
Shrimp Soldiers, Crab Generals, Immortal Flood Dragon Soldiers!
It was difficult to calculate the number. It was a deep-sea sea that stretched for hundreds of kilometers.
Killing intent and anger surged within them. The war drums were like thunder, echoing tens of thousands of kilometers!
The Dragon King of the East Ocean waved his hand and caused huge waves in the East Ocean!
“Let’s go to Chentang Pass.”
Hundreds of azure dragons followed behind the four dragon kings. They pulled the nearly endless thick dark clouds and led the countless soldiers and generals. They brought a wall of water that was hundreds of feet high and surged towards the East Ocean!
Half a day later…
At that moment, the entire city was empty.
In a huge mountain not far from the city, the hundreds of thousands of mortals who had completely retreated to that place yesterday were attracted by the thunder and looked towards the East Ocean.
They were only told that there would be a tsunami in the near future. They each brought their food rations and went to the high ground to hide.
It was naturally not easy for hundreds of thousands of mortals to retreat. Li Changshou secretly used the paper effigy to help. He also had the army of Chentang Pass to do logistics and maintain stability. That was why he could retreat in time.
When the dragon race started the “elders’ referendum”, the people at Chentang Pass had already begun to make the corresponding preparations.
It was not just the city of Chentang Pass. The towns and villages near the East Ocean were all empty. They had moved to higher ground to avoid calamity.
However, on the city wall of Chentang Pass…
On the city wall of Chentang Pass!
Li Jing and hundreds of Qi Refinement cultivators in the Chentang Pass stood quietly and looked at the surface of the East Ocean.
A white line appeared at the intersection of the Water Sky. Li Jing squinted and whispered, “Everyone, retreat temporarily. Don’t increase the number of innocent casualties.”
The hundreds of Qi Refinement cultivators behind him had already sensed the endless pressure. They remained silent and were unwilling to take half a step back.
So what if they were from the dragon race? So what if they were from the demon race?
Those who attacked the Chentang Pass were their enemies!
“Everyone!”
Li Jing turned his head slightly and said firmly, “I have a plan to retreat. If you are here, it will be inconvenient for you to use it! Quickly retreat and protect the people. Don’t make things difficult for me. We are not the enemy of the Dragon Palace.”
The Qi Refinement cultivators nodded. Only then did they retreat and quickly retreat to various parts of the forest.
In the backyard of the Li Residence, Little Nezha did not know what had happened. He only saw his cheap master walking around. A three-eyed man who claimed to be his senior brother was wiping his strange spear.
Nezha muttered softly, “Master, what’s wrong?”
“It’s none of your business. Just stay here.”
Boom! Boom!
The ground suddenly trembled, as if countless troops were surging towards Chentang Pass. The thick clouds that spanned thousands of kilometers enveloped Chentang Pass from day to night.
The water surged onto the land but did not dissipate. It headed straight for Chentang Pass and destroyed countless empty villages along the way.
At that moment, an old and majestic voice sounded from the cloud.
“Li, Jing, follow me to the Dragon Palace to confess. Otherwise, we will flood Chentang Pass today.”
On the city tower, Li Jing gripped the hilt of his sword with his left hand and took a deep breath. He suddenly drew his sword with his right hand.
The three-feet-long green sword trembled slightly. There were ripples on the sword blade. It reflected Li Jing’s firm face with stubble. The sword edge reached the dark clouds in the sky!
“General Li Jing of Chentang Pass is here! Li Jing is a father. He needs to fight! Li Jing is the commander of the army. He has to fight! If Li Jing does not respect justice and morals and intends to harm the citizens of my land as well as the lives of my children, there will be bloodshed today! Fight with your life!”
In the dark clouds, the’ expressions of the Dragon Kings of the four seas were extremely gloomy.
Under the ground, Li Changshou stood with his hands behind his back and calculated the best time for him to appear.
Today, he had to suppress the dragons.
