Chapter 212: Chapter 112: Slaughter them all!_1

At this Dao Discussion Conference, everyone was astounded by the reappearance of the Falling Clouds Sect and Elder Gong Buyu presiding over the meeting. No one paid attention to Sunn Lanyu’s death.

In everyone’s eyes, due to Sunn Lanyu’s scheme, the River Ji Dragon Palace lost a great demon in the stage of Spirit Transmutation and a plethora of treasures used to resist the backlash of the Laws.

This failure was enough to doom Sunn Lanyu.

Not even a representant of the Dragon Palace, let alone a deity of the Dragon Palace’s subordinate Aquatic Tribe, could bear such a significant loss.

The reckoning of Sunn Lanyu by the River Ji Dragon Palace was inevitable. Nevertheless, before that, Sunn Lanyu was still the Dragon Palace’s pawn, and arbitrarily killing him might bring unnecessary trouble.

Sunn Lanyu was going to die anyway. Instead of risking his own life to kill him, it would be better to let him die at the hands of the River Ji Dragon Palace.

This was everyone’s thinking, yet no one would think that Sunn Lanyu would fall to the extent that he would be killed by a minor demon in the Essence Refining Stage.

As Sunn Lanyu’s distorted corpse sank to the bottom of the river, a deep blue light suddenly flew out of the Storage Ring on his index finger, quickly speeding towards the direction of the main tributary of River Ji.

The confluence of the various tributaries of the River Ji.

This was the most dangerous place in the entire River Ji, with the turbulent river rolling in a crush of broken mountains and rocks, and the waters were as deep and vast as the abyss.

In the period of Spirit Energy depletion, this area was a forbidden zone for merchants and fishers alike.

But with the return of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge, this place became the most taboo area in the entire River Ji, because the grotto heaven of the River Ji Dragon Palace was situated here.

Within a kilometer-deep abyss under the water, a dark blue spatial passage towered here, shrouded by a profound blue color, like the wide-open mouth of an unknown beast in the abyss.

This was the entrance to the grotto heaven of the River Ji Dragon Palace.

The Spirit Energy Tidal Surge currently active in the world was far from sufficient to open the grotto heavens, but the River Ji Dragon Sovereign, Ao Lang, heeded Sunn Lanyu’s advice and was convinced that there was a clue about the River Ji Dragon Seal within the Primal Chaos Tower. Therefore he overrode the objections and forcefully dispatched the Mingquan Turtle Minister for assistance.

The Dragon Palace grotto heaven was connected with the Four Waterways Ancestral Bloodline. It ordinarily shouldn’t descend into the world at this time. Its appearance would inevitably cause a backlash affecting the entire River Ji Dragon Palace.

The consequence of forcibly opening the Dragon Palace grotto heaven turned a hundred-mile radius around the confluence into a region of death.

In addition, to help the Mingquan Turtle Minister resist the backlash of the Laws, the River Ji Dragon Palace went through a great deal of trouble.

Just when everything was properly arranged, and everyone was waiting for the victorious news, a message spread throughout the entire River Ji Dragon Palace.

The Mingquan Turtle Minister, was dead!

In this dark blue grotto heaven, the profound blue color greatly illuminated the boundless ocean within the grotto heaven.

But at this moment, this vast ocean had no signs of life, only a silent realm of death remained, showing no resemblance to any blessed land.

In this vast ocean, a grand and transparent crystal palace stood in the center, as if it were the center of the entire world.

Above the Crystal Palace’s main hall, extraordinary and massive figures with an air of the demonic stood. All of them took on the appearance of deities from the ancient times.

The numerous powerful deities of the Aquatic Tribe in the Crystal Palace were powerhouses inherited from the last Spirit Energy Tidal Surge who weren’t even qualified to step into this palace without reaching the True Being Stage, like the Mingquan Turtle Minister.

At the top of the Crystal Palace, an ancient deity with a dragon head and a human body, dressed in a black water profound robe, was scanning the many Aquatic Tribe deities present with a serious expression.

As the gaze of the deity with the dragon head fell, some deity lowered their heads to avoid it, some gazed straight ahead, only a few dragon-headed deities with pride met his gaze without any fear.

“The Mingquan Turtle Minister is dead.”

The River Ji Dragon Sovereign, Ao Lang, who was on the Dragon Sovereign’s throne, spoke with indifference, as if stating a fact.

“The River Ji heard his screams when he fell. The Qi of heaven and earth wiped out all traces of life. Even his True Spirit designated for reincarnation was cut down by that Divine Skill.

There must have been other individuals crossing the boundaries at the Dao Discussion Conference.”

As soon as the Dragon Sovereign finished speaking, an actual dragon, donned in a Purple Gold Splendid Attire, started speaking:

“Our River Ji Dragon Palace exhausted many treasures and the life of a great demon at the state of Spirit Transmutation, and we not only failed to find a clue about the River Ji Dragon Seal but also bolstered the might of the Human Clan.

Ao Lang, the Mingquan Turtle Minister left the grotto heaven under your orders. The responsibility for this should be borne by you.”

The person who spoke was the Second Prince of the River Ji Dragon Palace, Ao Yu, a full brother of the current Dragon Sovereign, Ao Lang, and theoretically had more qualifications to inherit the Dragon Sovereign’s throne.

During the previous Spirit Energy Tidal Surge, the former Dragon Sovereign of the River Ji passed away due to his lifespan running out. Everyone thought that the position would be inherited by the First Prince, but who would have thought that the First Prince had lost the River Ji Dragon Seal thousands of years ago.

The River Ji Dragon Seal was linked to the Four Great Ancestral Veins, and not only was it a symbol of the entire River Ji Waterway authority but also the core of the God Path of River Ji.

Losing the River Ji Dragon Seal was an appalling sin. Even if the First Prince had a deep-rooted foundation, he lost his eligibility to inherit the Dragon Sovereign’s throne.

Taking advantage of this, the Third Prince, Ao Lang, went to the race’s territories and awakened a senior elder. He drove away the Prince Ji Du on the eve of the movements from all parties, successfully seizing the position of Dragon Sovereign of River Ji.

Although Ao Lang is now the Dragon Sovereign of River Ji, his ascension was irregular, which has led to various powerful factions within the Dragon Palace feeling unsatisfied with him.
