Chapter 1189: Chapter 421 Heavenly Emperor Controls the Dragon_2
This is the first large-scale protest in the history of the Desolate Era.
The human Qi cultivators, filled with excitement, shouted in the streets, flying through the air, causing chaos everywhere. The swiftly responding local inspection divisions quickly sent celestial soldiers to control the scene and maintain order.
The Heavenly Court proactively dispatched a group of elder immortals to explain earnestly everywhere, saying that the Dragon Clan would not make things difficult for the Human Race… naturally with little effect.
The few battle dragons that came to investigate quickly relayed what was happening in the main heaven back to the Dragon Clan’s temporary headquarters, those large water spheres not too far from the main heaven.
The Dragon Clan was extremely tense.
Though they were ancient overlords, such a situation, this kind of event…
This was genuinely the first time they experienced it.
The uproar in the main heaven was fervent, and Li Ping’an’s large cloud boat was not far from the water spheres transporting the Ocean Race.
Calculating the timing to end his seclusion, Li Ping’an convened a meeting with all the immortals and then began to sigh deeply, seemingly with great difficulty, finally exclaiming:
“I cannot fail the Human Race, nor do I wish to disappoint the Dragon Clan’s expectations, what am I to do!”
This was naturally a performance.
These words smoothly reached the ears of the Dragon Clan.
These father and son, with one scheming secretly, used a strategy novel to the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth to pressure the Dragon Clan;
With the other showing benevolence and goodwill, representing the Heavenly Court’s magnanimity and capacity.
Although some experts of the Dragon Clan sensed something amiss, compelled by the situation and trend, none dared to speak recklessly, forced to contemplate strategies to get the Human Race and Heavenly Court to accept the Dragon Clan.
Soon, the wounded Ao Guang, along with Ying Long and a few senior elders of the Dragon Clan, brought gifts to meet Li Ping’an.
The silent standoff between the Heavenly Court and the Dragon Clan was thus broken.
The Dragon Clan bowed, a small victory for the Heavenly Court.
The following open negotiations, and how this matter concludes, are of utmost importance.
…
And it is said, after the battle of Xuan Capital City, Kong Xuan departed quietly with Phoenix Clan experts, not meeting with the experts from the Three Teachings.
Kong Xuan did not quite like the Three Teachings of the Taoist Sect, those overly conceited Precept Teaching Immortals and the morally corrupt Intercepting Sect Immortals. In Kong Xuan’s view, they merely had the luck to worship a good teacher.
The Phoenix Clan held a refuge in the Chaos Sea, where the scenery was picturesque, and the Five-Colored Divine Light transformed chaotic aura into the spiritual power of the five elements, fostering a group of close kin of the Phoenix Clan.
This refuge also hid the entrance to the Undying Volcano, not far from Xuan Capital City.
Kong Xuan returned to this place with Phoenix Clan experts, pausing briefly to prepare for quietly observing the changes in the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth.
Kong Xuan was naturally extremely concerned about the Dragon Clan’s actions.
The Phoenix Clan’s scouts brought news that there was uproar within the Human Race, opposing the Dragon Clan’s return to the main heaven… this made Kong Xuan’s mood joyful for half a day.
Unfortunately, he only laughed for half a day;
Just as Kong Xuan was contemplating how to spread some negative information about the Dragon Clan on the Human Race’s side, the Roc Bird hurriedly arrived at the Phoenix Clan’s secret realm.
The Roc Bird held a few boxes of Dong’an City’s popular snacks in his left hand and two small cases of Elixir Pills refined by top human alchemists in his right hand, and bowed to greet Kong Xuan.
“Brother, this is a gift from the Heavenly Emperor, Minister of Wealth, Dazhi Immortal, sent by the Heavenly Court’s Ministry of Wealth for you.”
Kong Xuan snorted, and said displeased: “Look at yourself in the mirror, do you still look like the Primordial Phoenix’s son?”
The Roc Bird was not annoyed by this comment, merely smiling gently, his tall body radiating warm light.
With hands clasped in a salutation, he seriously stated:
“Brother, the Heavenly Emperor wishes you to visit and proactively see the Heavenly Emperor.”
“Oh?”
Kong Xuan frowned at the Roc Bird, a face combining elements of both feminine and masculine beauty, with a hint of contemplation:
“Why are they suddenly inviting me over?”
“Because of the Dragon Clan,” the Roc Bird said slowly, “the Heavenly Court wants to subdue the Dragon Clan, and the Heavenly Emperor intends to bind the Dragon Clan with chains, requiring our Phoenix Clan to add more pressure on the Dragon Clan.”
Kong Xuan frowned and admonished: “Foolish! If the Dragon Clan successfully returns to the Heavenly Court, wouldn’t that be a disaster for our Phoenix Clan!”
The Roc Bird sighed lightly: “The Phoenix Clan truly only has you and me left… Brother, the Heavenly Emperor invites us both over, also with intentions to recruit.”
Kong Xuan snorted: “If you wish to return to the Heavenly Court, go yourself. I do not want to become like you because of the Heavenly Dao, neither spirit nor ghost, unfree! You were once so wild and unruly, often bringing me trouble, but I knew that was you. Now standing before me, I don’t even know if you are the Roc Bird or a tentacle of the Heavenly Dao!”
“This,” the Roc Bird continued to smile warmly, “why must you resist the Heavenly Dao, brother? The restrictions the Heavenly Dao set upon my primordial spirit are not to control me, as the Heavenly Dao is without character, without desire, it merely wants to ensure the longevity of heaven and earth.”
“Alright,” Kong Xuan waved his hand, “take the gifts back, I will not go.”
“But brother,” the Roc Bird presented Li Dazhi’s trump card, “if you don’t go, should the Heavenly Court reach an agreement with the Dragon Clan to eliminate the Phoenix Clan…”
Kong Xuan glared at the Roc Bird angrily.
“Are you helping them scheme against me?”
“Brother,” the Roc Bird immediately lowered his head and knelt, “I just wish you to step forward for the Phoenix Clan, for the Heavenly Court, for the sake of all beings!”
Kong Xuan’s long body was wrapped in a wide robe.
After a long while.
Kong Xuan seemed to have suddenly aged tens of thousands of years, gently took a breath, and said softly:
“Just this once, you need not return to this secret realm again.”
The Roc Bird’s body trembled slightly but responded in a low voice: “Thank you, brother.”
Kong Xuan lightly waved his sleeve, opening the great array of the secret realm, and took the Roc Bird away from the Chaos Sea.
