Chapter 781 - 781 273 The Land of Heavenly Punishment Where All Spirits Cease Hostility

781: Chapter 273: The Land of Heavenly Punishment, Where All Spirits Cease Hostility 781: Chapter 273: The Land of Heavenly Punishment, Where All Spirits Cease Hostility Li Ping’an and Xuanyuan Huangdi had been communicating through whispered exchanges.

Just then, Immortal Huanglong woke up and began shouting, causing both men to rise to their feet and quite honestly startling the fish-headed warriors nearby.

“You two!

What are you doing!”

First, three or four figures lunged forward, followed closely by more than a dozen slightly weaker fish-headed warriors.

Xuanyuan Huangdi, however, let out a hearty laugh, and suddenly a strong aura burst forth from him, causing the immortal ropes around him to slip off by themselves, and he raised his right hand with fingers spread towards the sky.

A wave of sword intent parted the seawater, idly pushing aside creatures on all sides, effectively clearing the area!

Xuanyuan Huangdi pulled Li Ping’an to his side with his left hand, while Li Ping’an grabbed hold of the immortal ropes binding Immortal Huanglong.

“Who dares!”

“This is an important place for the Ocean Race!”

Several figures flew out from a tent, revealing their formidable auras; they were the same masters who had previously ambushed Immortal Huanglong;

Xuanyuan Huangdi directed a fierce burst of sword intent straight towards these Ocean Race masters!

The sea’s surface churned with waves, and the ocean floor trembled continuously.

The masters were halted in their tracks, and by the time they sought to find them again, there was no trace of Immortal Huanglong and his two disciples.

“What’s going on!”

“Isn’t that Immortal Huanglong’s disciple?

Is a Heavenly Immortal Qi Cultivator of the Human Race that powerful?”

“Use your fish head!

That’s the Dao Charm of a Daluo Golden Immortal!

Perfect, supreme, it must be a master of the Human Race!”

“This Dao Charm…

Human Emperor’s Dragon Qi?

Has the Human Emperor come here?”

Four Ocean Race masters exchanged glances, then tacitly rushed towards the location of the trench.

They weren’t too panicked.

Even though there was a Daluo and a Taiyi among their opponents, that place was also filled with masters, and there were only two routes leading to and from the ancient realm of the dragons: one to the Chaos Sea and the other to the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth.

It was quite unlikely for the two of them to summon reinforcements.

The Crystal Palace at the ocean’s bottom and those Ocean Race cities indeed became lively.

Troops from the Ocean Race searched frantically everywhere for the whereabouts of the mysterious masters, but were doomed to find nothing.

Inside the Crystal Palace, which had been breached by the Dragon Clan, in a corner of a hall separated by water, four figures were crouched in a giant wardrobe, two zhang deep.

Guilingling looked up at the various women’s dresses and couldn’t help but sigh, ‘My dear turtle turtle.’

In so many years of cultivating in the world, she had never collected so many clothes, just a few short skirts that she alternated wearing!

Xuanyuan Huangdi chuckled and said, “Alright, I’ve lost this game.

I acted first and revealed my identity.

I shall go now to find Brother Ying Long, and the Dragon Clan will soon return here.”

Huanglong removed the ropes from his body, looking puzzled, and asked, “What’s going on?”

Li Ping’an briefly explained the situation of this realm.

The Dragon Clan had dispatched many elite forces into the Chaos Sea, supposedly in search of a new home;

In fact, they were merely giving the Ocean Race a chance;

Now that the Ocean Race had taken the bait and struck at the old and weak left by the Dragon Clan, the Dragon Clan’s vulnerable had retreated into the Dragon Tomb, and the Ocean Race was desperately attacking the Dragon Tomb.

“What?”

Immortal Huanglong’s eyes widened as he exclaimed, “Isn’t that suicidal?

If they really step half a foot into the Dragon Tomb, the Dragon Clan will surely go mad and wipe them all out!”

Xuanyuan Huangdi laughed and said, “From such a setup by the Dragon Clan, it seems there are two voices within them.

One advocates conceding to the Ocean Race, to coexist peacefully, while the other insists on enslaving the Ocean Race for generations.

The current layout clearly indicates that the latter has prevailed over the former, wanting to use a breach of the Dragon Tomb as a pretext to unify the Dragon Clan’s internal opinions.”

Li Ping’an blinked and said, “If what Your Majesty suggests is true, then it’s very possible that there are insiders arranged by the Dragon Clan among the Jiaolong Guards and the Half-Dragon Race.”

“That’s likely.”

Xuanyuan Huangdi pondered for a moment and then solemnly stated:

“Ping’an, you don’t yet understand; when you have many officials under you, you’ll feel that each of them has a different idea, and each has small factions behind them with different demands.

“So sometimes, it’s necessary to broadly categorize them into two groups, one for advancement and one for retreat, to maintain balance and as a necessary skill for managing subordinates.”

Li Ping’an slowly nodded, showing he had taken the lesson to heart.

Hawks and doves, after all.

It’s just unknown whether that godly general Ying Long belongs to the hawks or the doves of the Dragon Clan.

Xuanyuan Huangdi brought his sword fingers together and gently touched his own forehead.

In an instant, his figure turned into a bubble, which then disappeared without a trace, causing no disturbance in spiritual power.

Guilingling tilted her head and asked, “So what do we do now?”

“It’s up to both of you, esteemed masters.”

Li Ping’an spoke earnestly:

“The Dragon Clan intends to purge the Ocean Race, and it would be a waste to let this force be destroyed.

Currently, the Heavenly Court is in need of manpower, so we might as well recruit a group from the Ocean Race.

“This is just my idea.

Success is in the hands of the heavens, and it might not come to fruition.”

Immortal Huanglong was a bit slow on the uptake and only then caught on, muttering, “Goodness, the Dragon Clan has used bait to fish in their own pond.”

Guilingling blinked and said, “There seem to be a lot of fish over there indeed…

I wonder how they taste.”

“Respected master!”

Li Ping’an said seriously, “Creatures with awakened spirits are generally not to be consumed.”

“Oh, I know, I’m not that kind of fierce demon!”

“Except those that can be used in medicine.”

“Huh?”

Li Ping’an waved his hand grandly: “Alright, now let’s proceed with the first plan, to be personally carried out by both of you, esteemed masters.”

Huanglong said, “Just say what needs to be done!

If the Dragon Clan goes too far, this poor Daoist must have words with them!”

“Our principle is to not offend the Dragon Clan.”

Over a hundred and twenty Great One Golden Immortals, all ancient war dragons, would indeed draw attention despite being forsaken by the Heavenly Dao.

Li Ping’an said:

“Both of you, esteemed masters, quietly go to the Dragon Tomb, prevent them from attacking the Dragon Tomb, and ensure that the Dragon Tomb is not breached.”
