The Holy Maiden Uncovers My Coffin When I Just Become An Emperor’s Corpse
Chapter 435 - 436 North Sea Jiao Long King!

Chapter 435: Chapter 436 North Sea Jiao Long King!

The head of the North Sea Jiao Dragon King emerged from the front, its form incredibly enormous.

Just the head alone almost filled the entire Dragon Palace.

"Everyone, welcome to the Dragon Palace!!"

Wearing a crown forged of gold, the North Sea Jiao Dragon King appeared majestically before everyone.

"I suppose that since you’re all here, you should understand the rules for exchanging for Jiao Long Blood,

so I won’t say much more. This year, we’ll follow the old rules!

If there are any questions, feel free to ask!" The North Sea Jiao Dragon King opened its mouth, its mature and steady voice resonating in everyone’s ears.

Upon hearing this, Nan Tianwen stood up.

"Jiao Dragon King, I’d like to ask you first.

How many shares of Jiao Long Blood can be exchanged for this time? Is it still three shares?"

His question pricked everyone’s ears in the Dragon Palace to stand up.

"Correct, it’s still three shares,

each sufficient for a martial artist to perfectly refine and break through to the Dragon Transformation Realm!" the North Sea Jiao Dragon King replied.

The people in the Dragon Palace showed no signs of relaxation upon hearing the answer.

They all knew that the forces coming this time were many, and there were even mysterious forces.

The North Sea Jiao Dragon King still offered only three shares of Jiao Long Blood, too few.

Completely insufficient for the numerous forces to divide!

"Jiao Dragon King, the number of forces coming this time is so many.

Isn’t three shares of Jiao Long Blood a bit too few?" Xun Li stood up and asked.

If it remains three shares, the treasures he brought wouldn’t be enough to exchange for Jiao Long Blood.

If he didn’t obtain Jiao Long Blood, his sister wouldn’t be able to break through into the Dragon Transformation Realm in the most perfect state!

If they resorted to the second plan and asked Yang Yan to kill the Jiao Long to obtain its blood,

it would be too dangerous!

Should Yang Yan fail, getting hunted down or captured by the Jiao Long clan,

the clan could coerce Yang Yan to find out that it was the Xun Family who orchestrated Yang Yan’s mission to kill the Jiao Long and seize the blood!

That would be unreasonably creating a formidable enemy!

For the Xun Family, it would be a significant loss.

If they didn’t offend the Jiao Long clan but could exchange treasures for the Jiao Long Blood, it would naturally be the best outcome!

"There are only three shares, not a bit more!" the North Sea Jiao Dragon King stated directly.

It wasn’t prepared to increase the number of shares of Jiao Long Blood!

Just three shares, leaving everyone to compete for them!

The intentions of the North Sea Jiao Dragon King were clear to Xun Li and the others present.

The rare goods are valuable!

This time, with so many forces coming, if the Jiao Long clan were to increase the shares of Jiao Long Blood,

wouldn’t that indicate that the Jiao Long clan had the capability and could afford to distribute more Jiao Long Blood without pressure?

If fewer forces came next year, and those people asked the Jiao Long clan to increase the shares,

how would the North Sea Jiao Dragon King explain itself then?

Moreover, an increased number of shares of Jiao Long Blood would mean they weren’t worth too many treasures to exchange for!

And with only three shares, the forces present would fiercely compete, offering more treasures to exchange!

Thus, the value of Jiao Long Blood was infinitely elevated!

With minimal expenditure, the greatest amount of treasure would be obtained!

Why would the North Sea Jiao Dragon King not be delighted about this?

The crowd fell silent!

Some wanted to persuade further or forcibly coerce!

However, upon reflection, they decided against it!

Even though their backers were vast and possessed potent influences, they were currently within the Dragon Palace of the Jiao Long clan.

Trying to act recklessly here was impossible!

"Any more questions?" the North Sea Jiao Dragon King asked as it surveyed the crowd.

No one spoke up, each calculating in their own way.

This time, what amount of treasure was required to catch the eye of the North Sea Jiao Dragon King,

to secure the Jiao Long Blood!

"If there are none, please present the prepared lists of treasures.

After reviewing them, I will select the force that offers the most and most valuable treasures.

Giving them the three shares of Jiao Long Blood!" the North Sea Jiao Dragon King said indifferently.

As its voice faded, Nan Tianwen was the first to stand up.

Confidence radiated on his face.

"Central Continent Nan Family, Nan Tianwen!"

He announced his name, then produced a Jade Scroll, which floated toward the North Sea Jiao Dragon King with Profound Qi.

The North Sea Jiao Dragon King’s long whiskers moved, wrapping around the Jade Scroll.

Its eyes flickered, seeing through the Jade Scroll, understanding the listed treasures and the records of their effects upon usage.

"Hmm, not bad!" it said with a smile.

Nan Tianwen cupped his hands and sat down.

After him, one force after another presented Jade Scrolls inscribed with the names and quantities of treasures, sending them to the North Sea Jiao Dragon King in succession.

The North Sea Jiao Dragon King reviewed them one by one, with its eyes occasionally flashing with light.

Those familiar with the North Sea Jiao Dragon King’s thoughts and character understood its satisfaction with the treasures recorded in the Jade Scrolls!

Xun Li stood up with a pained expression, sending his Jade Scroll forward.

*He felt uncertain, gripped by a sense of foreboding!*

As he presented his Jade Scroll, the last force also sent theirs up.

After the North Sea Jiao Dragon King finished reviewing, the Dragon Palace fell silent.

All eyes converged on the North Sea Jiao Dragon King’s face.

They awaited the North Sea Jiao Dragon King’s decision!

Even though some forces anticipated they might not secure the Jiao Long Blood despite their efforts,

they hadn’t abandoned hope!

The North Sea Jiao Dragon King raised its eyes slightly, its long whiskers moving.

Three Jade Scrolls were enveloped by them.

"Central Continent Nan Family, Divine Race, Wu Clan!

I’m very satisfied with the treasures you’ve offered, and you will be able to exchange for Jiao Long Blood!" it said nonchalantly.

In an instant, some rejoiced while others despaired!

The happiest of all were the Central Continent Nan Family, with Nan Tianwen and the accompanying Nan Xiangwu relaxing into smiles.

"Uncle Wen, with the Jiao Long Blood this time, I can surely become one of the Ten Dragons!" Nan Xiangwu declared with determination.

Nan Tianwen patted his shoulder.

"The Nan Family has always believed in you; otherwise, why would they offer so many treasures for you?" he said.

"Hmm!"

Nan Tianwen held onto Nan Xiangwu.

"Thank you, Jiao Dragon King!" he said with a smile.

The North Sea Jiao Dragon King nodded slightly.

"No thanks are necessary; you’ve earned it with your wealth!" it said.

Then its gaze swept downward.

"Aside from the three forces I mentioned, who can stay with the Jiao Long clan to use Jiao Long Blood to break through,

all other forces, leave the Dragon Palace range promptly!"

The North Sea Jiao Dragon King’s voice was cold!

After the announcement, it issued an expulsion order without any mercy!

The others understood that this was a rule of the Jiao Long clan, one they needed to adhere to!

Otherwise, they wouldn’t get out of the Dragon Palace!

"Brother, let’s go!" Xun Ya’er pulled on Xun Li and said.

Xun Li sighed.

"*Sister, it seems your brother is useless!*"

Xun Ya’er consoled him.

"*Brother isn’t useless at all; brother is the best!*"

Though she usually wasn’t polite with Xun Li and sometimes threw tantrums,

*in such times, she knew Xun Li felt terrible and needed comfort!*

Moreover, after learning under Yang Yan, she respected Xun Li more and became much more sensible!

"Hmm, let’s go and think of a way out!" Xun Li stood up and said.

Xun Ya’er nodded.

"Okay."

Xun Li turned his head back, finding the empty spot behind him.

"Brother Yang hasn’t returned yet!

*When he came, he said the Jiao Long clan would treat him as an honored guest and that I would surely obtain Jiao Long Blood!*

*Now it seems he was just boasting.*

*I only hope that after leaving, I can meet him,*

*and then he can follow through with our deal and help me accomplish my goals.*

*Just don’t boast again and fool me anymore!*"

He was preparing to follow the crowd out when suddenly a figure blocked everyone’s path at the entrance of the Dragon Palace.

It was Bai He!

"Everyone, hold on for a moment. I, King Bai He of the Jiao Long clan, have something to say!" it stood before everyone and announced loudly.

As he spoke, his eyes swept over the stopped crowd.

"Everyone, today you will leave all the treasures you brought with you.

Then each of your forces will be able to exchange for a share of Jiao Long Blood!"

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions shifted, and they all turned sharply to look at the North Sea Jiao Dragon at the deepest part of the palace.

The North Sea Jiao Dragon King’s head lifted, its eyes narrowing slightly, increasing the pressure within the Dragon Palace dramatically.

"Bai He, since when did the affairs of the Jiao Long clan become your decision?" it roared threateningly.

The voice generated a spiral wave, pushing everyone aside, rushing toward Bai He.

Bai He’s clothes fluttered, yet he stood firmly, unfazed, and instead wore a smile on his face.

"My foolish brother, starting today, the era has changed!"
