At this conference, everyone was shocked by the appearance of Luoyun Sect and the fact that Gong Buyu was supervising the conference. No one cared about Sun Lanyu's death.
In everyone's eyes, because of Sun Lanyu's plan, Jidu Dragon Palace lost a great demon and many treasures that could resist the backlash of the rules.
This failure was enough to ruin Sun Lanyu's life.
Not to mention a mere agent of the Dragon Palace, even the water gods under the Jidu Dragon Palace could not bear such a huge loss.
It is only a matter of time before Sun Lanyu is liquidated by Jidu Dragon Palace, but before that, Sun Lanyu is still a running dog of Jidu Dragon Palace. If he is killed at will, it may cause some unnecessary trouble.
Sun Lanyu is going to die anyway, so instead of taking the risk of killing him, it is better to let him die at the hands of Jidu Dragon Palace.
Everyone thought so, but no one would have thought that Sun Lanyu would fall to the point of being killed by a little demon in the Essence Refining Realm.
As Sun Lanyu's hideous and twisted body sank to the bottom of the river, a stream of azure blue light suddenly flew out from the storage ring on his index finger and rushed towards the main trunk of the Jishui River.
The place where the Jishui River flows together.
As the most dangerous place in the entire Jishui River, the river water is swift and can destroy mountains and split rocks, and its water is as deep and vast as the ocean.
During the period of spiritual energy depletion, this is a restricted area that all merchant ships and fishermen are not allowed to enter.
And with the return of the spiritual energy tide, this place has become the most taboo place in the entire Ji River, because the Ji Du Dragon Palace Cave Heaven is located here.
In the abyss thousands of meters underwater, a dark blue space passage stands here. Its interior is shrouded in deep blue, like the open mouth of an unknown giant beast in the abyss.
This is the entrance to the Jidu Dragon Palace Cave.
The spiritual energy tide in the present world is far from reaching the standard for opening the cave heaven, but Jidu Dragon King believed Sun Lanyu's words and was sure that there was a clue to the Jidu Dragon Seal in Xuanhuang Tower, so he ignored the opposition and forcibly sent Mingquan Turtle Prime Minister to help.
The Dragon Palace Cave Heaven is connected to the ancestral bloodlines of the Four Rivers and should not have appeared in the world during this period of time. Once it appears, it will inevitably bring backlash that will affect the entire Jidu Dragon Palace.
The result of forcibly opening the Dragon Palace Cave Heaven was that the place where the Jishui River converged was turned into a dead zone within a radius of hundreds of miles.
In addition, in order to help Mingquan Turtle Xiang resist the backlash of the rules, the Jidu Dragon Palace also went to great lengths.
Just when all parties had made arrangements and were waiting for the news of victory, a piece of news spread throughout the Jidu Dragon Palace.
Mingquan Guixiang is dead!
In that dark blue cave, the deep blue reflects the boundless ocean within the cave.
But at this moment, this ocean has no vitality at all. There is only a silent dead area, and there is no trace of paradise.
In this vast ocean, a magnificent and crystal palace stands in the center, as if it is the center of the entire world.
Above the main hall of the Crystal Palace, towering figures with extraordinary auras that looked like demon gods stood there, their forms and appearances all resembling those of ancient gods.
There are many powerful water gods in the main hall of the Crystal Palace. They are all powerful beings who have passed down the Jidu Dragon Palace from the last spiritual tide era to the present. Those who have not reached the realm of true person like Mingquan Guixiang are not even qualified to step into this palace.
At the very top of the Crystal Palace, an ancient god with a dragon head and a human body with a powerful aura, wearing a black water robe, looked seriously at the many water gods present.
As the gaze of the god with a dragon head and a human body fell, some gods in the hall lowered their heads to avoid him, some gods did not look away, and only a few gods with dragon heads and human bodies like him met his gaze with pride, without any fear in their expressions.
"Mingquan Turtle Prime Minister is dead."
Ao Lang, the Jidu Dragon King, who was sitting on the Dragon King throne, spoke in an indifferent voice, as if he was stating a fact.
“Jishui heard his mournful cry when he fell, the Qi of heaven and earth wiped out all life, and even his reincarnated true spirit was cut off by that magical sword.
At that discussion meeting, someone must have crossed the line and made a move."
As soon as Jidu Dragon Lord said this, a real dragon with a dragon head and a human body wearing purple and gold clothes spoke up:
“My Jidu Dragon Palace has wasted many treasures and the life of a great demon, but not only have we not found any clues to the Jidu Dragon Seal, but we have also helped to increase the power of the human race.
Ao Lang, Mingquan Guixiang left the cave under your orders, and you should bear the responsibility for the whole thing."
The person who spoke was Ao Yu, the second prince of Jidu Dragon Palace. He was the half-brother of the current Jidu Dragon King Ao Lang. In theory, he was more qualified to inherit the throne of Dragon King than the current Jidu Dragon King.
In the last spiritual tide era, the old Dragon King of Jidu died of old age. It was thought that the throne of Dragon King would be inherited by the eldest prince of Jidu. However, who would have thought that the eldest prince of Jidu had lost the Jidu Dragon Seal thousands of years ago.
The Jidu Dragon Seal is connected to the four ancestral veins. It is not only a symbol of authority for the entire Jidu waters, but also the core of the Jidu waters’ sacred way.
Losing the Jidu Dragon Seal is definitely a heinous crime. Even if the Jidu Crown Prince has a strong foundation, he has lost the qualification to inherit the throne of Dragon King.
The third prince of the quarter, Ao Lang, took advantage of the situation to go to the clan land and awakened an elder of the ancestral land. On the eve of the various forces making their move, he expelled the eldest prince of Jidu and successfully seized the throne of the Jidu Dragon King.
Although Ao Lang was already the Dragon King of Jidu, he did not obtain the position legitimately, which made the strong men from various factions in the Dragon Palace dissatisfied with him.
In addition, Ao Lang did not have the Jidu Dragon Seal, the core of the Jidu water gods. Even for matters concerning the Jidu Dragon Palace, he used the private seal he had when he was the third prince of Jidu. This made many water gods of the Jidu Dragon Palace obey his orders but not his words.
Ao Yu, the second prince of Jidu and another major faction within the Jidu Dragon Palace, is full of hatred towards Ao Lang.
Whether in terms of power within the Dragon Palace or in terms of inheritance position and strength, Ao Yu is far more qualified to become the Jidu Dragon King than Ao Lang.
However, Ao Lang took the initiative with some clever tricks and successfully won the throne of Dragon King. This made Ao Yu extremely hostile to him, believing that Ao Lang had used despicable means to seize the throne of Dragon King that should have belonged to him.
It is precisely because of the chaos within the Dragon Palace that Ao Lang is eager to take back the Jidu Dragon Seal so that he can sit firmly on the throne of the Four Du Dragon Kings.
To this end, he did not hesitate to issue an edict from the Dragon Palace to select an agent, set a plaque for the Jishui Sect for Sun Lanyu, and even forcibly sent Mingquan Guixiang to find the whereabouts of the Jidu Dragon Seal.
Ao Yu and other factions were of course dissatisfied with Ao Lang's willful behavior.
This not only involves the consumption of a large amount of precious resources in the Jidu Dragon Palace, but also the struggle between them and Ao Lang.
Ao Yu and others also want the Jidu Dragon Seal to return to the Dragon Palace, but the reason they can fight against Ao Lang, the Jidu Dragon King, is that they lack the Jidu Dragon Seal and cannot control the gods of the Jidu waters.
Once Ao Lang takes back the Jidu Dragon Seal and regains control of the Dragon Palace Water God, their days will definitely be difficult.
As a result, all parties obstructed Ao Lang's support for Sun Lanyu and tried their best to stop him from retrieving the Jidu Dragon Seal. If Ao Lang had not forced it in the name of the Jidu Dragon King, the Mingquan Turtle Image would never have appeared in the world.
However, now that Mingquan Guixiang is dead, something has gone wrong with Jidu Dragon Palace's plan for the Taoist Conference, and someone must be held accountable for it.
Sun Lanyu is nominally the agent of Jidu Dragon Palace, but in reality he is just the first running dog and is not even qualified to take the blame.
Ao Lang, who had rejected all objections from the Dragon Palace and even used the power of the Dragon King to force the matter through, became the best person to take responsibility.
In the eyes of Ao Yu and other real dragons, this was completely a handle that Ao Lang offered to him on his own initiative. Once this matter was made a big deal, it would certainly greatly damage Ao Lang's reputation.
If the timing was not wrong, Ao Yu would even want to personally thank the person who killed Mingquan Guixiang.
"As a Dragon King, he ignored the other True Dragons' attempts to stop him and insisted on doing what he wanted, causing Jidu Dragon Palace to suffer great losses!"
“Mingquan Guixiang is a great demon who has reached the state of spiritual transformation. Although his strength is not high, his identity is special.
There are only a few combat forces in the God Transformation Realm that can survive from the last spiritual energy tide era. When the next spiritual energy tide comes in a few months, Mingquan Turtle Phase will no longer be suppressed by the rules of heaven and earth and appear in the world.
Before those geniuses were promoted, a great demon who had reached the state of divine transformation could intimidate all quarters and gain immense benefits for the Dragon Palace.
From a strategic point of view, the existence of Mingquan Guixiang is even better than many real person realm demon kings. "The loss of Dragon Palace this time is definitely not just the treasures on paper and a great demon in the state of transformation!"
“This is the impact on the future trend.”
"We need an explanation!"
Under Ao Yu's instigation, several true dragons in the Crystal Palace became excited and angrily rebuked Ao Lang.
Most of the gods in the hall looked calm and composed, and had no intention of getting involved in the internal struggle of Jidu Dragon Palace.
Even though there is endless fighting in Jidu Dragon Palace nowadays, this is just a struggle within the dragon clan.
There are very few real dragons in the dragon clan nowadays. Each of them is a big figure who suppresses the entire Dragon Palace and a core figure of Jidu Dragon Palace.
No matter which real dragon holds the power, it will be absorbed by the dragon clan. Once outsiders want to intervene, they will only be torn to pieces by the dragons.
The water gods only need to do their own jobs well and be impartial before the Jidu Dragon Seal is returned to its place, and no one can criticize them.
On the Dragon King's throne at the top of the Crystal Palace, as Ao Yu and others' condemnation became more and more intense, Ao Lang finally could no longer suppress the emotional fluctuations in his heart.
That majestic face was sometimes furious and sometimes lost in thought, as if he was trying to make some decision.
When Ao Yu and other True Dragons saw this, they accused him even more vigorously.
But in the next moment, all the real dragons and water gods in the Crystal Palace looked towards the entrance of the Dragon Palace Cave Heaven, where a blue stream of light quickly flew into the Crystal Palace and finally appeared in person in front of Ao Lang.
That was the Dragon Palace edict that Ao Lang, the Dragon King of Jidu, bestowed upon Sun Lanyu. It contained the message that Sun Lanyu wanted to pass on before his death.
When Ao Yu saw the Dragon Palace's decree, he was stunned at first, and then his face turned over with joy.
He knew very well that Sun Lanyu was the agent appointed by Ao Lang outside the cave heaven in order to search for the trace of the Jidu Dragon Seal.
Now that the Dragon Palace's edict has returned, it must mean that Sun Lanyu is dead, and Ao Lang has further lost the possibility of retrieving the Jidu Dragon Seal.
This is undoubtedly good news for Ao Yu.
Reaching out and grabbing the Dragon Palace edict, Ao Lang immersed his consciousness in it to read the message conveyed by Sun Lanyu.
After a moment, Ao Lang's gaze suddenly focused, and invisible pressure quietly expanded towards the entire Crystal Palace.
"Sun Lanyu was killed. This is the last news he released."
As soon as he finished speaking, a projection began to condense in the void, and eventually turned into a huge iceberg with the words "Luo Yun" engraved on it above the river where the Dao Discussion Conference was held.
“From what Sun Lanyu said, the Jidu Dragon Seal is most likely in the hands of the man named Luo Yun.
He fabricated a conspiracy with the Jidu Dragon Seal in hand and misled Sun Lanyu who was trying to retrieve the Jidu Dragon Seal at the beginning.
At the Great Xia imperial court's discussion meeting, there was a sect called Luoyun Sect, and it is very likely that they were the ones who took away the Jidu Dragon Seal."
"I propose to send someone to the Dao Conference to retrieve the Jidu Dragon Seal."
Ao Lang's words immediately aroused Ao Yu's fierce opposition:
"No! Absolutely not!"
If the news spread by Sun Lanyu before his death is indeed true, and the Jidu Dragon Seal is really related to the man named Luo Yun, if Ao Lang sends another person, wouldn't he be able to retrieve the Jidu Dragon Seal and secure his position as the Dragon King?
As Ao Lang's number one enemy, Ao Yu definitely didn't want Ao Lang to retrieve the Jidu Dragon Seal, so he quickly said:
"Because of this Sun Lanyu, my Jidu Dragon Palace has already suffered so much loss, do you still want to throw precious resources into it?
Those precious spiritual objects are at least level six or seven. They will be hard to find even when spiritual energy is fully revived in the future. How can you let them waste on them?
Even though the Jidu Dragon Palace is a big family, it can't stand your torment. "
“What’s more, Mingquan Guixiang has already been killed. Even if you send out another great demon who has reached the state of transformation, he will most likely suffer the same fate as Mingquan Guixiang.
Are you sure that you can recover the Dragon Seal at such a high price?"
Ao Yu's words immediately attracted the response of all the real dragons. Regardless of the truth, they did not want to waste those precious spiritual objects on false news.
At this moment, Ao Lang's slow voice sounded.
"Who told you that I'm going to send out a great demon in the form of a spirit?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Crystal Palace fell silent. Even the calm and composed Dragon Palace Water Gods stared at the Jidu Dragon Lord who was at the first position with their eyes wide open.
"Are you crazy? Sending out a powerful demon at the level of a spirit is already the limit of our Jidu Dragon Palace. A demon king at the level of a true person simply cannot be accommodated in the current world.
Without the Jidu Dragon Seal to stabilize the Jishui River, the demon king would be retaliated by the heaven and earth if he took action, and it would be difficult to protect him even if he took out a Taoist weapon. "
"If the demon king attacks at that time, he will surely die. Even if a true immortal descends to the world, he will not be able to save his life."
"We have finally survived the three thousand years of spiritual energy depletion, and the day of returning to heaven and earth is just around the corner. Who else is willing to risk their lives to go crazy with you?"
Jidu Dragon King did not respond to the words of Ao Yu and others, but looked towards the Dragon Palace Hall, where the last of the water gods was an old god holding a cane.
Feeling the gaze of Jidu Dragon Lord, the old god slowly moved to the center of the hall.
"My life span is almost over, I would like to be at the disposal of Your Majesty the Dragon King to restore the power of the Jidu Dragon Palace!"
When Ao Yu saw the water god who showed up on his own initiative, he immediately realized that Ao Lang's words were premeditated.
The demon king in the realm of true person is not one of those divine demons who can be controlled at will.
Every demon king that has survived from the last spiritual energy tide era has the power to suppress an area of water. Even the Dragon King cannot arbitrarily decide the life or death of a demon king in the realm of a true person.
This deity is the Giant Clam Water God, who has survived from the last spiritual tidal era to the present day and has a lifespan of six thousand years.
The giant clam is a different species of the shell family, and it has already reached the limit of its survival. The giant clam, which is nearing the end of its life, must have made some kind of deal with Ao Lang.
The specific reason is unknown, but it is worth mentioning that the price Ao Lang paid must have been high for the Water God in the Realm of Immortal to risk his life.
Since a water god was willing to sacrifice his lifespan and take the initiative, no matter how dissatisfied Ao Yu was, he had no room to refuse.
On the Dragon King's throne, Ao Lang looked at the aging giant clam and said slowly:
"I decree that the water god Giant Clam be appointed as the patrol envoy of the Ji River, and the power of the rivers above the Ji River is at the disposal of the water god Giant Clam.
This trip to Qingping County should kill all the evil leaders and take back the dragon seal for my Jidu Dragon Palace to boost the prestige of my Jidu Dragon Palace."
After a slight pause, Ao Lang looked deep and said:
"As for the various sects participating in the Dao Conference, let's slaughter them all at once!"
