Chapter 213: Chapter 112: Let’s Slaughter them All! _2

Moreover, Ao Lang does not hold the River Ji Dragon Seal, the core deity of the River Ji waters, in his hands. Even matters regarding the River Ji Dragon Palace are handled using his private seal from when he was the Third Prince of River Ji. This led many Water Gods of the River Ji Dragon Palace to resist following his orders.

Ao Yu, who is considered another major figure within the River Ji Dragon Palace, harbors significant animosity towards Ao Lang.

Whether in terms of support within the Dragon Palace or the succession order and strength, Ao Yu is far more qualified to be the Dragon Sovereign of River Ji than Ao Lang.

However, Ao Lang used his cunning to seize the position of Dragon Sovereign, which made Ao Yu view him with extreme disdain, believing that Ao Lang used deceitful means to seize the throne that rightfully belonged to him.

Due to the chaotic state within the palace, Ao Lang was desperately hoping to retrieve the River Ji Dragon Seal, thereby allowing him to firmly cement his position as the Dragon Sovereign of the Four Waterways.

To this end, he was willing to issue a Dragon Palace Edict to select a proxy, set up a placard for Sunn Lanyu’s River Ji Sect, and even forcibly send out the Mingquan Turtle Minister to locate the River Ji Dragon Seal.

Ao Yu and the other factions were undoubtedly unsatisfied with Ao Lang’s stubborn actions.

This involved not only the consumption of massive amounts of precious resources within the River Ji Dragon Palace, but also their struggle against Ao Lang.

Ao Yu and the others also wanted the River Ji Dragon Seal to return to the Dragon Palace, but their ability to resist Ao Lang, the River Ji Dragon Sovereign, was based on the fact that they could not control the various deities in the River Ji waters without the River Ji Dragon Seal.

If Ao Lang were to retrieve the River Ji Dragon Seal and regain control over the Water Gods of the Dragon Palace, they would definitely face hard times.

Therefore, all parties obstructed Ao Lang’s efforts to assist Sunn Lanyu, tried their best to prevent him from retrieving the River Ji Dragon Seal, and if not for Ao Lang forcefully advancing this using his authority as the Dragon Sovereign of River Ji, the Mingquan Turtle Minister would not have been able to appear in the present world.

However, now that the Mingquan Turtle Minister is dead, there were discrepancies in the plans of the River Ji Dragon Palace for the Grand Dao Conference, and someone would have to be held responsible for it.

Sunn Lanyu was merely a lapdog acting as a proxy for the River Ji Dragon Palace in name, he didn’t even have the qualifications to take the blame.

Ao Lang, who had overruled the Dragon Palace’s opinions and even used his authority as a Dragon Sovereign to forcefully push this matter, became the perfect candidate to be held responsible.

From Ao Yu and the other True Dragons’ perspective, it was as if Ao Lang had willingly handed them a handle to use against him. If they made a big deal out of this matter, it would certainly greatly damage Ao Lang’s prestige.

If the timing weren’t inappropriate, Ao Yu would even want to personally thank the person who killed the Mingquan Turtle Minister.

“As a Dragon Sovereign, he ignored the opposition from other True Dragons, stubbornly carrying on and causing the River Ji Dragon Palace to suffer a huge loss!”

“The Mingquan Turtle Minister was a Spirit Transmutation Great Demon, and although his power was not high, his status was unique.

Those who could survive from the previous Spirit Energy Tidal Surge era with their combat power in the Divinity Transformation Realm were few and far between. But after a few months, when the next Spirit Energy Tidal Surge arrives, the Mingquan Turtle Minister could come into the present world unrestricted by the rules of Heaven and Earth.

Before those young prodigies had reached maturity, a Spirit Transmutation Great Demon could intimidate all directions, bringing immense benefits to the Dragon Palace.

Strategically speaking, the existence of the Mingquan Turtle Minister is even more valuable than many True Being Stage Demon Kings.”

“The Dragon Palace’s loss this time is not just the treasures and a Spirit Transmutation Great Demon on paper!”

“It is the impact on the future grand trend.”

“We need an explanation!”

Under Ao Yu’s instigation, several True Dragons in the Crystal Palace angrily chastised Ao Lang amidst their excited fervor.

Most of the deities in the grand hall were complacent, with no intention of interfering in the internal struggle of the River Ji Dragon Palace.

Even though the River Ji Dragon Palace is currently fraught with strife, it is still an internal struggle within the Dragon Tribe.

The Dragon Tribe nowadays has only a few True Dragons, each of whom is a significant figure that suppresses the entire Dragon Palace and are core figures of the River Ji Dragon Palace.

Regardless of which True Dragon gains power, it is absorbed within the Dragon Tribe, and outsiders attempting to intervene would be torn apart by the collective Dragons.

The Water Gods just needed to perform their duties, and without favoritism or prejudice, no one could point fingers at them before the Dragon Seal returns.

Atop the Dragon Sovereign throne at the highest point of the Crystal Palace, Ao Lang finally could not suppress the emotional fluctuations in his heart as the verbal accusations from Ao Yu and others grew more intense.

The dignified face sometimes burning with anger, other times sunk in thought, as if trying to make certain decisions.

Seeing this, Ao Yu and the other True Dragons increased their accusations more earnestly.

But the next moment, all the True Dragons and Water Gods in the Crystal Palace turned their gaze towards the entrance of Dragon Palace grotto heavens. There, a blue streak of light swiftly flew into the Crystal Palace and materialized in front of Ao Lang.

It was the Dragon Palace Edict that Ao Lang had bestowed upon Sunn Lanyu, and it contained a message Sunn Lanyu wanted to pass on before his death.

Upon seeing the Dragon Palace Edict, Ao Yu was first taken aback, then his face lit up with joy.

He knew very well that Sunn Lanyu was the proxy assigned by Ao Lang outside the grotto heavens to search for the River Ji Dragon Seal.

The return of the Dragon Palace Edict undoubtedly meant that Sunn Lanyu was dead, and Ao Lang had one less chance to recover the River Ji Dragon Seal.

This was undoubtedly good news for Ao Yu.

Reaching out to grab the Dragon Palace Edict, Ao Lang delved his consciousness into it to read the information passed on by Sunn Lanyu.

A moment later, Ao Lang’s gaze dramatically sharpened, and an invisible pressure quietly spread throughout the Crystal Palace.

“Sunn Lanyu has been killed, this is his last message.”

As his words fell, a projection began to form in the void, eventually transforming into the giant iceberg inscribed with the words ‘Falling Clouds’ above the river at the Dao Debate Conference.
