Chapter 2525 - 2523
Chancellor Turtle rolled in from outside and hurriedly picked up the Dragon King.
Covered in ice, as if frozen solid.
He shivered, stuttering to the Dragon King, "It’s bad, Dragon King, someone has placed a magical treasure in our sea, freezing and blocking this entire area."
Dragon King glared and cursed, "Who, who’s got the dragon gall to come here and run wild?"
The cold descended, already reaching three thousand meters below the sea.
The Dragon Palace lies at the valley bottom, five thousand meters deep, drawing sunlight down through an array.
The temperature here has always been like spring year-round, never experiencing such coldness.
Chancellor Turtle prostrated himself on the ground and reported, "Dragon King, we don’t know who they are. However, I suspect, they should be related to Liangshan Island. They want to give us a show of strength, forcing us to comply!"
Dragon King seemingly exploded in anger, "These wild demons are too bold, do they really think we’re easy to bully? Bring out my Celestial Realms Purifying Thunder Dragon Pearl and blast those wild demons into pieces for me."
He raised his hand, offered his life source Dragon Ball to Chancellor Turtle, instructing him to release it.
This Dragon Ball is no ordinary item, it’s a condensation of mana from the East Sea Dragon King’s Golden Immortal Realm.
Contained within is the essence of thunder and lightning, capable of summoning heavenly thunder.
At the Dragon King’s age and status, it’s been a long time since he’s had any conflict with others.
During battles, it’s usually the subordinates who deal with them.
Chancellor Turtle hurriedly took the Dragon Ball outside, raised his hand, throwing it.
The Dragon Ball carried fierce electric glow, passed through layers of ice, and finally leapt out from the top of the ice.
Intense electric glow spewed from this Dragon Ball with a roar.
It transformed into a thunderbolt longsword that shot skyward and stabbed fiercely into the Primordial Unity Tai Yin Charm in the air.
The Thunder Elemental Force, the most scorching Yang Qi in heaven and earth, plunged into the Qi of Lunar.
Instantly Yin and Yang merged, thundering loudly.
The thunder summoned by a Golden Immortal Level Dragon Ball is immense.
It could destroy a world, but having entered Qi of Lunar, it was swiftly neutralized by the extreme Yin force within.
The Dragon Ball and the Lunar Charm entangled for exactly one breath, and the accumulated thunder energy within swiftly depleted.
"Oh no!"
The East Sea Dragon King below shouted in alarm and hastily tried to draw the Dragon Ball back down.
At this moment, the talisman had already opened a vortex, violently swallowing the Dragon Ball.
A piece of black cloth wrapped around the golden Dragon Ball.
In an instant, contact with the Dragon King was severed.
The Dragon King screamed miserably, letting out a long howl, "My Dragon Ball!"
His body, long unused, suddenly whisked out a longsword, grasping it to charge upward.
Chancellor Turtle rushed in from outside and hurriedly stopped him, urgently advising, "Dragon King, do not go out! This talisman is formidable, it’s likely a Saint level Opening Heaven Talisman. If you go out, you’ll surely meet no return!"
The Dragon King knew this too, and urgently cried out, "But my Dragon Ball!"
Chancellor Turtle consoled, "The people above must be related to Liangshan Island, we can negotiate with them, now is definitely not the time for combat."
The East Sea Dragon King forcefully swallowed his anger, finally realizing the strength of Liangshan Island.
He hollered a stern command to Chancellor Turtle, "Go, to Yunmeng Marsh Dragon Palace, summon that ungrateful little brat here for me."
Chancellor Turtle nodded repeatedly, went out and instructed the servants.
The Dragon King slumpily sat on the Dragon Chair, resentfully slapping it with his hand.
Though their Dragon Palace is supposed to be high above, people always come knocking, this is the consequence of not having a powerful guardian.
Above the Dragon Palace, ten thousand miles are icebound.
Ao Jie arrived here, almost frightened by the scene below.
This white ice layer, reflecting the sunlight from above, looking like a giant golden mirror laid flat on the water surface.
The cold air stung, triggering a chain reaction.
Near the coast, due to this cold wave’s arrival, snow unexpectedly fell in June.
Ao Jie knew that if this continued, the people’s crops would surely suffer.
He arrived at the Dragon Palace, following Chancellor Turtle inside to meet the East Sea Dragon King.
The Dragon King courteously received him, vastly changed from last time, holding Ao Jie’s hand, inviting him to sit and said, "Dear nephew, what exactly is going on with Liangshan Island? Last time I merely pondered briefly, and now you’re freezing our sea and took my Dragon Ball. Where is your sincerity for negotiation?"
Ao Jie feigned distress, "Uncle, do not be angry, I hold little status at Liangshan Island. Normally I just do menial tasks and errands. You didn’t agree to their terms last time, they must be anxious now!"
The Dragon King replied deeply, "So, the sea ice is their doing?"
Ao Jie nodded, "They used a Saint relic, the Primordial Unity Tai Yin Charm. This item, refined from the first trace of Yin Qi generated during the creation of heaven and earth, is extremely powerful, capable of freezing our entire East Sea!"
"It truly is a Saint relic."
The East Sea Dragon King was shocked, "Could it be your master is a Saint?"
Ao Jie spoke frankly, "I genuinely can’t see through him, how powerful he really is, I don’t know. But I’m sure his cultivation level can easily slay Golden Immortals. And he possesses more than a dozen Saint relics."
"Oh my goodness!"
The East Sea Dragon King was so alarmed he nearly slipped off the Dragon Chair, quickly steadying himself, "Then, would dear nephew please go and say some good words to this Saint Sovereign. I’ll agree to your terms, our families are related after all, let’s stop this conflict."
Ao Jie chuckled inwardly, finally witnessing the true nature of the East Sea Dragon King.
Back when he came here, the East Sea Dragon King always spoke with mockery, looking down on their Yunmeng Marsh tribe.
But now, faced with absolute power.
The East Sea Dragon King behaves merely like a coward.
In this world, strength is truly paramount.
He took out the gift list, handed it to the East Sea Dragon King and said, "Uncle, last time you didn’t agree to this gift list. When I returned, they were a bit angry. So, they changed the figures on the list, please have a look."
"How have they changed it?"
The East Sea Dragon King nervously took the list, glanced repeatedly.
Seeing the figures on the list, each multiplied tenfold.
Originally a hundred billion Spirit Stones, now it’s a trillion.
The Dragon King nearly spat blood, this is practically gouging their Dragon Palace dry!
The next section regarding jewelry, magical weapons, armor, also multiplied tenfold.
He felt his Heart Fire surge, like being targeted by a pack of rabid dogs.
"Outrageous, this is outrageous bullying of dragons!"
The East Sea Dragon King felt dizzy, almost tumbling off the Dragon Chair.
Chancellor Turtle quickly entered, ushering Ao Jie out, then had someone prepare a bowl of ginseng tea, rapidly calming the Dragon King.
After drinking, the Dragon King furiously smashed the bowl, shouting at Chancellor Turtle, "They are blatantly robbing, they’re bandits, they’re a group of bandits! I shall go to the Heavenly Court to accuse them, accuse them!"
