Each of these guards possessed the strength of a ninth-rank expert, which left Zu An somewhat astonished.
It should be noted that although there are quite a few ninth-rank experts among the human and demon races, even the most elite soldiers do not reach that level; fifth or sixth rank is already the absolute limit.
When those soldiers are combined with various war formations, they can unleash tremendous power.
What's more, these soldiers with the strength of the ninth rank?
If the sea creatures weren't inseparable from water, they would probably have conquered the human and demon races long ago.
Two strange fish soldiers blocked Zaun's path. They took out a crystal ball, shone it on Zaun's body, and then nodded to the soldiers beside them, clearing the way.
Zuan glanced at the crystal ball. This thing was probably used to check people for any dangerous weapons or the like. After all, those who entered and left the Dragon Palace were all important figures, and it would be a bit embarrassing for everyone to be directly searched.
Next, Zuan was led into a grand hall, where a burly man sat high on a huge throne that resembled an open seashell, looking down at him. Seeing his familiar face, the two horns on his forehead, and his regal aura, Zuan was clearly the fake Dragon King.
Although Zaun had learned the truth from the Mermaid Queen beforehand, he still couldn't see any flaws even after seeing it with his own eyes.
How did this counterfeiter manage to do it?
For a fleeting moment, he even had the urge to capture the other person.
However, he ultimately suppressed the thought. The powerful aura emanating from the fake dragon king was identical to that of the real dragon king, suggesting that his strength was no less than that of the real dragon king.
On both sides of the palace were many ministers and generals of the sea tribe, and it was clear that they were at least at the level of grandmasters, and there were also many great grandmasters.
The sea creatures are indeed full of experts. If we make a move now, it would be tantamount to a direct conflict with them.
The key issue is that many sea creatures are still kept in the dark, and the life-and-death battles will ultimately be meaningless.
As Zuan was deep in thought, the fake Dragon King on the dragon throne spoke up: "Huh, it's actually a human. A mere Grandmaster dares to come to the Dragon Palace. He's got quite the nerve."
Normally, there is no fluctuation of Yuan Qi on Zu An's body. Before, in front of that Shark Diao, there was no need to worry, as the other party would simply assume that his cultivation level was higher and therefore could not detect it. However, if he were to act like this in front of the Dragon King and many sea creatures, then things would get much more interesting.
After all, someone who could come here could not possibly be an ordinary person without any cultivation, but the Dragon Palace could not detect his cultivation level, which made them feel that he was unfathomable.
It could easily arouse unnecessary vigilance from the other party, so Zuan took the initiative to simulate the energy fluctuations of a Grandmaster, which indeed saved a lot of trouble.
Zu An smiled slightly: "I'm not here to be an enemy of the Dragon Palace, so what difference does it make whether my cultivation level is high or low?"
"You do have some guts." The fake Dragon King snorted and took something out of a box beside him. "Where did you get this?"
That was clearly the hairpin that Zuan had brought back from Shang Hongyu.
“Naturally, it came from the Mermaid Queen,” Zuan replied.
"How dare you! What have you done to the Queen?" a minister shouted from below.
Zuan glanced at him; he had a horn on his head and obvious dragon features, bearing a resemblance to the Dragon King.
He must be the Dragon King's brother. Seeing the concern and anxiety on his face, Zu An's expression was a bit strange. Was this his way of showing love for his sister-in-law?
The energy fluctuations emanating from this guy indicate that he is at the peak of the Grandmaster level. Once he transforms into his true form, his combat power will likely increase further.
Zuan replied, "That's a bit confusing to me. Wasn't she wanted by the authorities? And it seems she's no longer the queen. Even if something was done to her, it would be in accordance with the arrest warrant, right?"
This answer immediately drew angry glares from everyone in the hall.
Anger points from Ao Yong: +444 +444 +444...
The Turtle Prime Minister's anger level increased by 444+444+444...
From...
Seeing a barrage of anger points flooding the screen, Zaun remained unmoved and quickly searched for a specific name.
Suddenly his eyes narrowed as he saw one of the lines: Rage value from Dragon King Ao Zhan +444 +444 +444...
Upon seeing this, a chill ran down his spine, and he felt uneasy.
what is going on?
This is clearly the real Dragon King!
He said that on purpose to provoke the Dragon King and see what the other party was really disguised as.
The keyboard system collects the power generated when the souls of living beings fluctuate violently, and it has never made a mistake in verifying identities over the years.
Who would have thought that the name displayed in the anger value system would be Dragon King Ao Zhan!
But if he is the real Dragon King, then what Shang Hongyu said must be false.
Thinking about the days they had spent together, their intimate and ambiguous relationship, and the other person's dignified yet alluringly beautiful face, Zu An suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
These days, because I first met Shang Hongyu, and because of her relationship with Shang Liuyu, I subconsciously trusted her.
So it's assumed that something went wrong with the Dragon King, and that a mysterious entity impersonated him, seized control of the Dragon Palace, and issued wanted posters everywhere to hunt down Shang Hongyu, the only person in the know.
But what if it's the other way around? If the Dragon King is real and no one is impersonating him, then his pursuit and pursuit of the Mermaid King can only mean that Shang Hongyu is the one with the problem!
Thinking back on these past few days, Shang Hongyu seemed to be flirting with him intentionally or unintentionally. Even at the beginning in the tavern, it was she who took the initiative to get closer to him. Could this be the truth?
