Chapter 146 - 146 92 Bai Ze Dragon Clan Voyage

146: Chapter 92 Bai Ze Dragon Clan Voyage 146: Chapter 92 Bai Ze Dragon Clan Voyage “Hahaha!

Angel, your presence truly graces my humble abode!” Watching Bai Ze glide through the palace gate, the East Sea Dragon King Aoguang hurriedly rose from his seat, feigning enthusiasm with a sycophantic smile, and went to greet Bai Ze.

“Your Highness the Dragon King is too kind!” Bai Ze said with a modest smile, and asked, “A hermit in the Heavenly Court such as myself is unfamiliar with Your Majesty’s noble name?”

“Oh?

Hahaha!” Aoguang laughed heartily, ordering a maid to prepare fruits, wine, and dishes, then sat back in his dragon chair, saying, “I am Ao Long, favored by my grandfather and thus made master of the East Sea!

I’m nothing compared to the grandeur of you, Angel, in the Heavenly Court!”

Bai Ze gently shook his feather fan and said, “Your Majesty jests!

The Dragon Clan commands the riches of the Four Seas, with countless members of the Water Clan at their disposal, certainly one of the top powers in the Primordial Realm!

I am but a minor leader in the Heavenly Court, how can I compare with Your Majesty!”

Just then, Old Turtle ambled in from outside the palace and respectfully said, “Your Majesty, the drinks are prepared.

Shall we move to the ‘Imperial Banquet Hall’?”

Aoguang nodded slightly and said to Bai Ze, “Angel, the fine wine and dishes are ready, shall we eat and talk?”

Although Bai Ze came with orders from Di Jun, he could not snub Aoguang’s hospitality and reluctantly rose, following Aoguang out of the Crystal Palace.

Along the way, they passed ranks of guards and a tight security.

There were even over a hundred Daluo Golden Immortal Level True Dragons practicing arrays and military drills with a troop of Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals!

This sight had Bai Ze stunned.

It’s said that even a dying camel is larger than a horse; with such formidable strength in just the East Sea alone, wouldn’t the other Three Seas and the countless rivers and lakes of the Primordial Land be even more secretly powerful and overwhelmingly mighty?

The Heavenly Court indeed has thousands of Daluo Golden Immortals, but those were hastily trained by Di Jun through secret techniques.

Solely in terms of battle, they likely couldn’t skillfully control their own mana!

Yet looking at these Dragon Clan’s Daluo Golden Immortals, each is brimming with powerful mana and a solid foundation!

The aura of their resolve is almost bursting forth, clearly all battle-hardened strong warriors!

This mission of persuasion seemed unlikely to succeed!

What Bai Ze didn’t know was the struggle Aoguang privately faced.

The casual display of power from those of the Water Clan was on the Dragon King’s orders, intentionally performed for Bai Ze’s benefit.

In truth, the East Sea was now a case of all that glitters is not gold.

In other words, the highest combat power of the East Sea had been summoned back to the Crystal Palace by Aoguang.

Those currently defending the outer regions of the East Sea were just minor creatures.

If Di Jun were to attack now, capturing the Dragon Palace of the East Sea might not be completely certain, but there would be a seventy percent chance of success.

In a short time, the three arrived at the “Imperial Banquet Hall.” This hall was where the imperial family hosted guests, and the enormous round table had already been filled with an array of exquisite delicacies!

Phoenix gall, whale liver, lobster and abalone, bear paws, horse hooves…

everything was there!

If Li Qingming, Duobao, and the Golden Spirit Saint Mother were here, they would drool uncontrollably, utterly delighted!

Everyone took their seats as host and guests, and Aoguang pointed to the table filled with lavish food, saying, “Due to Angel’s sudden visit, the hastily prepared wine and dishes are somewhat lacking, I hope Angel will not take offense!”

A corner of Bai Ze’s mouth twitched as he thought, “Damn it, you beasts!

You call this ‘lacking’?”

With no other choice, Bai Ze put down his feather fan, stood up, and said, “I thank Your Majesty for your generous hospitality!”

Aoguang, eyes twinkling like copper bells, waved his hand with a gleeful expression.

Thus, the two began the banquet with jests and laughter.

Both being of Daluo Golden Immortal Peak prowess, the meal could last for months, if not years.

During the feast, Bai Ze repeatedly brought up the purpose of his visit, only to be interrupted by Old Turtle standing nearby with various excuses.

For this, Bai Ze could not wait to skin the Old Turtle alive.

In the midst of their indulgent feast, Aoguang suddenly asked, “Angel, may I inquire the purpose of your visit to the East Sea?”

Hearing Aoguang’s words, Bai Ze nearly burst into tears with excitement.

Finally, the question was asked.

Bai Ze picked up a napkin beside him, made of unknown soft material, and gently wiped his mouth, saying, “Nowadays, our Heavenly Court may seem glorious on the surface, but it is a place of cause and effect!

Surely Your Majesty has heard of our battle against the Witch Tribe outside the South Heavenly Gate more than two thousand years ago!

That battle not only made our Witch and Demon Clans’ reputation reverberate through the Primordial Land but also planted the seeds of disaster!”

Aoguang, with great interest, listened to Bai Ze speak and signaled for him to continue.

Bai Ze glanced at Aoguang and said, “Although our Demon Race was wounded in that battle, our losses were not severe.

However, Emperor Di Jun remembered that the Innate Dragon Clan is also part of the Demon Race.

Your Majesty has intentions of joining all the Dragon Kings to manage the Primordial Land.

Thus, I have been sent to discuss the matters of commanding the Primordial Land with Your Majesty!”

Aoguang looked at Bai Ze with a gleeful smile and asked, “What terms does Emperor Di Jun have?”

Bai Ze paused upon hearing this, then said: “Your Majesty Aoguang is indeed a wise man!

His Majesty Di Jun has said that as long as Dragon King unites the Four Seas and the rivers and lakes to be loyal to the Heavenly Court, these Four Seas and rivers and lakes shall belong to the Dragon Clan for life, and an official decree will be issued to Heaven and Earth, sealing the royal titles to you and the five Demon Kings, sharing the Qi Fortune of the Demon Race!”

“Pfft!” Aoguang chuckled scornfully, “Di Jun really is plotting a perfect scheme!

Not only is he bringing the isolated forces of the Dragon Clan into his fold, but he is also integrating the remaining Qi Fortune of our clan into the omnipresent stream of the Demon Race’s Qi Fortune.

What a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone!”

Bai Ze shuddered all over, he had not expected that Aoguang, who had been displaying warmth and courtesy, and even some flattery from the beginning until now, could possess such sharp thinking.

Actually, Bai Ze was wise a lifetime and foolish for a moment.

On the Primordial Land, the East represents Yang and should be the most honored position!

Thus, the East Sea among the Four Seas should rank first!

Given that Aoguang secured the position of the East Sea Dragon King among the many dragon sons and grandsons, how could he be an average contender?

Bai Ze smiled awkwardly and said: “Your Majesty is mistaken!

The merging is mutually beneficial for both our clans!

It not only strengthens the Qi Fortune of both our clans but also fulfills the ancestral ambition of uniting the Primordial Land!

Isn’t that the best of both worlds?”

“Hmph!” Aoguang snorted coldly and said: “Go back and tell Di Jun, expecting me to submit the Four Seas to your Demon Race is simply wishful thinking!

There is no room for negotiation!

If you want war, then war it is!

After having food and wine!

I haven’t mistreated you either!

Minister Turtle, see the guest out!”

Bai Ze’s complexion suddenly turned purple, and he stood up abruptly and said: “Won’t Your Majesty reconsider?”

This time Aoguang simply turned his face away, not looking at him.

“Angel, please!” Old Turtle walked forward with shaky steps and made a bowing gesture.

“Hmph!” Bai Ze flicked his sleeve angrily and said: “Then, Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!”

Having said that, he didn’t wait for Minister Turtle to guide him and strode away on the waves.

“Two unremarkable birds daring to dream of swallowing the Dragon Clan!

Aren’t they afraid of bursting from overeating?

Truly ignorant of life and death!” Watching Bai Ze’s departing figure, Aoguang revealed a ferocious expression, as his aura of an Early Quasi-Saint burst forth explosively!

Aoguang was indeed cunning, and he had even suppressed his own cultivation level!

…

Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.

“Right Heavenly Master has returned!” A Little Demon, guarding the South Heavenly Gate, ran gasping towards the Palace of the Polestar.

“Fellow Daoist, was your journey successful?” Di Jun, seated on the throne, looked at the bowing Bai Ze with expectation in his eyes.

Bai Ze’s handsome face was filled with gloom: “Your Majesty, your servant is incompetent!

I failed to fulfill Your Majesty’s assignment!

Please punish me!”

“Ah!” Di Jun sighed softly and said: “Fellow Daoist, why say such things!

In truth, I had already prepared myself mentally, merely comforting myself continuously in my heart!

Remember when the Dragon Clan was just how proud, how domineering!

Although in decline now, their pride remains intact, how could they willingly submit to the Demon Race?”

“Hmph!” Taiyi snorted coldly and said: “Big brother, what does it matter!

The vastness of the Four Seas, its territories stretching beyond millions of miles and containing countless natural treasures!

Our Heavenly Court was at a disadvantage in the previous Witch Demon War!

Since they refuse to submit, let us take the Four Seas to demonstrate our might and recover from the loss!”

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall nodded in agreement.

The Witch Demon War two thousand years ago brought endless pain to the Demon Race!

Not only were the Lingxiao Palace and the Ten Directions Heavenly Palace destroyed by Di Jiang, but the spirit of the Demon Race was also crippled.

Now, since the Dragon Clan refuses to submit, why not use thunderous methods to establish authority in the Primordial Land!

Although Bai Ze also desired to flatten the Four Seas, considering the strength of the East Sea, he said: “Your Majesty, there are still over a hundred Daluo Golden Immortals in the East Sea!

Their equipment is exquisite, their Magic Treasures are sharp, and they are adept at magic and Array Dao.

If we attack forcefully, it will inevitably provoke a chain reaction from the other Three Seas and the many rivers and lakes of the Primordial Land!

Even if we eventually conquer the Dragon Clan, the losses will be heavy!

It would be handing an advantage to the Witch Tribe for nothing!”

Hearing this, Di Jun’s eyes bulged, and he shouted: “What?”
