Bai Cang sighed upon hearing this, "The old Dragon King's words have unjustly killed my good brother. What do you suggest we do?"
The Azure Wave Dragon King shook his head repeatedly, "Immortal, you flatter me. I had no such intention. Perhaps Daoist Wei misheard. I'm sure he didn't mean to deceive you."
Bai Cang waved his hand listlessly, "Old Dragon King, you may not know this, but my elder brother once patted his chest and made a bet with me, saying that the Old Dragon King must have some innate spiritual treasure in his possession."
If not, he will surely bring his head to me and commit suicide by sword before me.
But he's a man of his word, someone who always keeps his promises. What can be done about this?
Upon hearing this, the Azure Wave Dragon King was dumbfounded and completely stunned.
Even those people next to him, who often acted as guests in the Dragon Palace and were practically "professional witnesses," had seen countless people trying to get something from the Azure Wave Dragon King.
After hearing Bai Cang's words, everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at him.
It's as if it's saying: How can there be such shameless people in this world?
For a moment, the Azure Wave Dragon King was speechless, not knowing how to respond to Bai Cang's words.
After all, he had experienced being "extorted" countless times throughout his long life.
To put it bluntly: What kind of scene hasn't the Azure Dragon King seen?
But he had never seen a scene like this before.
Just then, Bai Cang sighed again, "Does the Old Dragon King know what my relationship is with Brother Wei Boyang?"
The Azure Wave Dragon King was in a state of utter confusion, his mind a complete mess.
However, out of "professional instinct," he subconsciously chimed in, "May I ask, what is the relationship between the Immortal and Immortal Wei?"
Bai Cang was heartbroken, "Those were my brothers, my dearest friends and family!"
With just one sentence, you caused his wrongful death on the spot. What am I supposed to do?
Upon hearing this, the Azure Wave Dragon King's mind raced, trying to come up with something that would allow everyone to save face without hurting the harmony of the situation.
But Bai Cang was not about to give him that chance to ease the tension.
With a loud bang, Bai Cang rose up, kicked over the jade table in front of him, and...
Then, pointing his fingers like a sword at the Azure Dragon King, he roared angrily:
"Old Dragon King, we are complete strangers with no grudges or enmities. I am also new to your realm and have no intention of causing trouble."
But why did you so unjustly kill my good brother Wei Boyang?
You didn't kill Boyang, yet Boyang died because of you. Tell me, how should I deal with this irreconcilable hatred?
Bai Cang's words were not without merit.
Anyone with eyes can see that Bai Cang's claims of "committing suicide on the spot" and "bringing his head to me" are absolutely nonsense.
This is a completely insincere excuse used to blackmail the Azure Dragon King.
However, his insistence on this point is simply a test of the Azure Wave Dragon King's bottom line.
However, if the Azure Wave Dragon King insists on refusing to budge, Bai Cang is not afraid to escalate the situation and make a big fuss, and have a fight with the Azure Wave Dragon King.
At the same time, Bai Cang did not push things too far, leaving room for further discussion.
That was his "good elder brother" Wei Boyang.
To put it bluntly, this is Bai Cang fighting Wei Boyang, using the Azure Dragon King as a raft.
His deliberate mention of "being a newcomer and not wanting to cause trouble" was also a way of telling the Azure Dragon King: I'm going to use you as a target to establish my presence in the outer seas and even the vast ocean.
Ultimately, it was Bai Cang's first appearance, and he needed to greet the "local gangs".
So that others will know what kind of person he really is.
To avoid causing him even more trouble in the future when they get along.
As for the Azure Dragon King, why did he become an "innocent" target?
The reason is very simple.
He is strong enough, and weak enough!
The reason he is considered strong is that the Azure Dragon King is a "dual primordial spirit" possessing both a primordial spirit dharma body and a true form of a blue dragon, making him by no means weak.
If it were the system of the Calamity Dao Lord, it would be at least the starting point of the Nine Tribulations Dao Lord, with the Perfect Dao Lord as the highest level.
The reason he is considered weak is that the Dragon Kings of the Seas clearly dare not, or rather, do not want to, cause trouble.
That's why they deliberately created a persona of being an "easy target" or a "sucker".
They let all sorts of monsters and demons run rampant over them, shamelessly groveling and taking advantage of them.
Since you're so eager to announce to the world that you're a "pushover,"
If I don't ask you to give me a massage, wouldn't I be doing myself a disservice?
Therefore, innate spiritual objects are not important, and the Azure Dragon King is not important to Bai Cang either.
The important thing is that he must force the Azure Dragon King to submit and humiliate him to make a good start for his debut.
Wei Boyang was clearly very knowledgeable and immediately saw Bai Cang's biggest need.
That's why they used the excuse of "innate spiritual object" to point out a "clear path" for Bai Cang and find him the best ready-made target.
Anyway, Bai Cang is going to establish his authority eventually; it's better to sacrifice a fellow Daoist than himself.
Moreover, the Azure Wave Dragon King is not a fellow Daoist; he is one of the biggest targets in the outer sea.
If it weren't for the appearance of the distant oceans and heavens, figures like the Dragon Kings of the Seas would be beings that all the sects of Xuanmen would vehemently want to exterminate.
In the eyes of the immortals of the outer seas, bullying the Dragon Kings of the seas is a kind of alternative "pledge of allegiance," and is absolutely politically correct.
Bai Cang comes from the inland Central Plains, so he may not need to pay such a "pledge of allegiance".
But going along with the crowd, bullying the Azure Dragon King is better than destroying the Tianyuan Wei family in terms of consequences and reputation, right?
The intricacies and twists within this matter are numerous and complex, making it quite difficult to understand.
However, the Azure Dragon King instantly understood Bai Cang's meaning.
He immediately smiled wryly and said, "Immortal, may I speak with you in private? I have quite a few treasures in my treasury, and I would like to ask you to help me appraise them."
If you say that this medicine is an "unwarranted disaster," it goes without saying whether the Azure Wave Dragon King is angry or not.
But after experiencing similar things so many times, I've really become a bit numb to it.
The so-called "pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger" is a dangerous tactic; if you pretend too much, it's hard to say whether you'll actually turn into a pig.
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang immediately perked up and laughed, "That's excellent. I happen to be quite knowledgeable in appraisal, so I'll give the old Dragon King a piece of my mind."
All he needs is for the Azure Dragon King to submit and pay a sufficiently high price.
As for whether this price is actually a naturally occurring spiritual object, that remains to be seen.
Actually, Bai Cang didn't really care that much.
Of course, if the treasure trove of the Azure Wave Dragon King doesn't satisfy him...
Bai Cang didn't mind turning against him and playing the role of "Sun Wukong" to wreak havoc in the Azure Dragon Palace.
Anyway, he had already made up his mind: all consequences would be borne by my "good brother" Wei Boyang.
Who told him to point me in this direction and give me his name card?
Upon seeing this, the Azure Wave Dragon King immediately summoned one of his dragon sons and tasked him with entertaining the other guests.
He and Bai Cang left their seats hand in hand and headed straight for the treasure vault of the Azure Wave Dragon Palace!
