Chapter 68 My master’s cultivation is unparalleled!
Wang Longqi looked at Li Chu nervously. He didn't expect him to get straight to the point without any foreplay. This was too abrupt...
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.
He glanced at the two beautiful maids beside him. They were about to sit down and serve him, but now they were standing aside in an awkward manner.
well.
He sighed in his heart. He should have discussed it with Li Chu earlier. At least he should have waited until his buddies had their night before starting the group.
The island owner stared at Li Chu for a long while, then suddenly smiled and said, "I still don't know what to call you, young Taoist priest?"
Li Chu said slowly: "I am a disciple of Deyun Temple at Shilipo outside Yuhang Town, Li Chu."
He raised his hand again and pointed behind him: "This is Xiaobai, the fox demon who is practicing in my temple... and a friend of mine."
The island owner nodded slightly, and then said: "Master Xiao Li, from what you asked just now, it seems that you know a lot about the things on my island?"
"Don't beat around the bush." Li Chu said bluntly, "I was asked by the villagers of Wang Fishing Village on the East China Sea to investigate the incident in which dozens of fishermen in Wang Fishing Village turned into monsters. The only abnormal experience they had before was coming to your island. So I think... the island owner may know the reason."
"Ha." The island owner chuckled: "Master Xiao Li is an open-minded person, so I won't lie to you."
He leaned back and said frankly, "It was me who used magic to turn them into water monkeys."
After hearing this, Li Chu didn't do anything, but Wang Longqi's heart skipped a beat.
These two seem to be a bit stubborn...
When the fight starts, I don’t know where to hide…
He followed Li Chu to join in the fun after listening to the sailors' description of the overnight stay and felt excited.
I thought that since Li Chu was there, there would be no accidents. I could just take advantage of it, spend the night, and call it a day.
Who knew that Li Chu would just skip the entire plot in the middle...
It seems that the island owner is also a ruthless person. God knows whether Li Chu can protect himself if a fight breaks out.
Wang Longqi's mind was full of random thoughts, but his eyes were not idle at all, scanning back and forth three times in one breath.
This hall has four exits, one main entrance, two side entrances, and one back entrance. The main entrance is guarded by four guards, the side entrances are guarded by two guards each, and the back entrance has no guards, but no one knows where it leads to.
There are thirty-six large windows and seventy-two small windows in the hall, and the large windows are wide enough for people to pass through.
There are thirty-eight tables in the hall, and you can hide under each one, but it's not very hidden.
There are eighteen beams and pillars in the hall, and you can hide behind them, but you can only block one side.
Wait, what did I just see?
…
Then Li Chu asked again: "Why?"
The island owner said condescendingly: "In my territory, there is no need for me to explain to you. But I am not ignorant, so it is okay for me to tell you."
He raised his attitude first, and then explained: "In fact, I am not only the owner of this Yongle Island, I am also the Dragon King of the sea area with a radius of hundreds of miles."
After saying this, he smiled with the corners of his mouth raised high.
Dragon King?
This surprised Li Chu a little.
He was also familiar with the history of the Heluo Dynasty. Before the human race, the dragon race was the previous primate, that is, the overlord of this world.
Perhaps this world was not originally called "the human world"...but that is no longer known.
However, after many earth-shaking wars in ancient times, it was eventually the human race that took over the position of the most intelligent creatures.
From then on, the demons in the world would transform into humans.
However, several branches of the close dragon clan still retain the tradition of transforming into a dragon.
Even among the seven realms of heaven and man of the human race, there is still a realm named "transformation into a dragon".
Even though this dragon is different from that other dragon, it can be seen that the dragon clan has a profound influence on the human race.
But as the human race became stronger, the dragon race continued to weaken. To this day, the real dragon race has not appeared in the human world for a long time.
The island owner seemed to know what he would think, and immediately said: "Of course I am not a pure-blooded real dragon, but I am definitely not an ordinary dragon descendant. I have the blood of a real dragon, so the surrounding water creatures will worship me as their leader."
Meaning, his father is a real dragon.
Such second-generation dragon descendants are almost pure-blooded, which is already quite noble among the dragon clan. They have the hope of being promoted to pure-blooded true dragons.
As he spoke, he smiled proudly, his forehead was shining brightly, and two horns pointing upwards emerged!
He originally looked like a snowman, but because of the appearance of these two dragon horns, he turned into... a snowman with long horns.
Even funnier.
Li Chu vaguely guessed the reason, and said, "Is it because the fishermen were fishing nearby that you punished them?"
"That's right." The island owner spread his hands and said, "I protect the surrounding aquatic creatures. They salvaged here wantonly, killing many of my aquatic creatures. I punished them by making them water monkeys for three years. Is that not too much? Moreover... I also gave them a large amount of gold, silver and treasures, enough for them to enjoy for thirty years."
Li Chu pondered for a moment and said, "What you said does make some sense."
"Huh?" Wang Longqi looked at Li Chu.
Is he going to give up on the villagers of Wangyu Village?
"But..." Li Chu changed the subject and said, "I was entrusted with a task, so I can't just do it hastily. This punishment has actually worked. If you remove the spell today, I can guarantee that the fishermen in Wang Fishing Village will never come to this sea area again. How do you think?"
"Oh, they forced me to rule the aquatic creatures, so can I just let it go?" the island owner asked back.
"Then... I have no choice but to offend you." Li Chu stood up.
Under circumstances where he could negotiate, he really didn't want to come into conflict with a powerful enemy whose strength was unknown.
But he felt that he could not convince the island owner. Different races naturally had different positions. As the Dragon King, it was understandable that he wanted to protect the aquatic creatures under his rule. From his point of view, it seemed that he was doing his utmost to be kind and righteous.
But as a human being, I certainly cannot accept it.
"Ha." The island owner sneered: "You want to fight me?"
There was a gleam of sarcasm in his eyes, as if he was mocking Li Chu's arrogance.
"I'm here on someone's behalf, so I have to do my best. If I can't defeat the island master, my master will help me." Li Chu said loudly: "My master's cultivation is unparalleled!"
The island owner frowned: "Are you threatening me?"
Li Chu said calmly: "Just telling the truth."
The island owner was silent.
He was very clear about the complex relationships among the human cultivators. It was not uncommon for one thing to bring out another, and in many cases, a small conflict would turn into a major disaster.
But he had never heard of the name of Deyun Temple...
If Li Chu came from Baiyujing, Qingyang Temple, Yunyou Temple, etc., he would definitely send him away respectfully without saying a word.
But this unknown Deyun Temple... sounds a bit scary.
However, there have always been many hidden and powerful people in the world. Isn't it often rumored that the monk who sweeps the floor in a certain temple is the best master in the world?
If his master is really powerful, then he will inevitably suffer.
After a little thought, the island owner came up with a more comprehensive idea.
If he is really a disciple of a great master, he will certainly not be a fool. You might as well try out the quality of this little Taoist priest.
So he smiled and said, "Master Xiao Li, there is no need to be anxious. Why don't we... compete with each other first? If your strength can really gain my recognition, then there is a lot to discuss."
Li Chu frowned: "You want to compete with me?"
He was in a bit of a dilemma.
If it were a real fight, he wouldn't have any psychological burden.
But sparring and competing... this involves his blind spot.
Looking back on the past, it seems that... no one has ever lost their life under his sword.
If he held back when competing with this Dragon King whose strength was unknown, he might lose. If he went all out...
What if he was killed with one sword?
Then who can I talk to?
When the island owner saw that he looked embarrassed, he thought that Li Chu was afraid of him.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to embarrass you on purpose. I won't do anything." He turned and said to the bottom of the hall: "Bring the human-faced crocodile up!"
His Highness' short and fat steward suddenly changed color, "Island Master, are you going to release the human-faced crocodile?"
Thanks for the 100 rewards for "I can't believe anyone uses this name".
It's like this, I was not feeling well yesterday, and I was in a bad state. I was also trying to catch up on the update, so I'm not very satisfied with what I wrote. But it seems that I can't make major changes, so I'll just add one more chapter today, and update three chapters.
Brothers who feel touched can type their feelings on the public screen.
