Chapter 16: Threaten and lure
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace! I will strictly abide by the law and ensure that the rain falls on time according to the seasons!"
After Li Qingyuan left, even if Ao Guang still felt unwilling, angry, and resentful, he did not dare to show any of it. He just knelt there and shouted loudly.
But Li Qingyuan's body stopped as he spoke these words.
For a moment, Ao Guang was trembling all over. Could this Human Emperor possibly see what I was thinking? But I was just complaining. I couldn't, and didn't dare, stir up trouble again.
Li Qing turned around, a sneer on his face, and said, as if talking to himself, or even to Ao Guang, "I almost forgot that the East China Sea is connected to the other three seas. I heard that you, Ao Guang, only need to ring a bell, and the Dragon Kings of the other three seas will gather. Is this true?"
Li Qing almost forgot about it! But he knew Journey to the West by heart, and it only took a moment for him to remember the time when Monkey King came to the East China Sea to borrow weapons and Ao Guang summoned the other three brothers.
When Ao Guang heard this, his whole body trembled even more violently!
Together with his three other brothers, he was in charge of the four seas, and only the East Sea had three undercurrents that led directly to the West, South, and North Seas. If he had any business, he could send a secret message to his three other brothers to rush to the East Sea from the undercurrents within half an hour to discuss the matter.
But this matter was a deeply hidden secret! Only he and his wife knew about it! He hadn't even told his children, so how did Emperor Xin know about it?
He couldn't admit it! Otherwise, it would definitely harm his brothers!
"Your Majesty, where did you hear this from? It's completely a rumor. The East China Sea is millions of miles away from the other three seas. How could we possibly be together? If my three brothers and I wanted to meet, it would take us half a month to reach their seas."
Ao Guang calmed himself down and said in a deep voice.
"Hahaha!"
When Li Qing heard this, he burst into laughter. Then his laughter gradually subsided, and the domineering aura on his body gradually intensified, sweeping in all directions, making everyone feel the murderous intent and anger of the Human Emperor, and they all began to tremble for a moment.
"Ao Guang, I'm asking you again, is this true?"
Li Qing's voice was not loud. He just looked at Ao Guang and asked calmly.
But Ao Guang trembled even more violently in an instant!
Ao Guang could sense the murderous intent in the Human Emperor before him! This was a strong murderous intent that confirmed that he had lied to him!
The Human Emperor actually knew the secret of the East China Sea! He was absolutely certain!
This, this is impossible to lie about!
Because lies are told to people who don’t understand. If you lie in front of people who understand, it is a provocation and a suicide plea!
Thinking of this, Ao Guang immediately prostrated himself on the ground and trembled, "This is true. I am guilty! I know I was wrong!"
Li Qing said coldly: "Humph! I thought you were going to hold on!"
Ao Guang simply kowtowed: "I know I am wrong! I am guilty!"
Li Qing didn't even look at him and continued, "All the sea creatures in the four seas are equally guilty. Either the lack of rain causes severe drought, or the constant rain causes severe floods! Hundreds of millions of people across several continents are suffering! Trillions of lives have died! I originally planned to destroy your East Sea first, then the South Sea, West Sea, and North Sea!"
"I am guilty!"
Ao Guang sensed Li Qing's murderous intent, so he didn't dare to argue and just kowtowed.
After exhaling, Li Qing looked at Ao Guang and said indifferently, "So, now I will give you a chance. Either you summon the other three sea dragon kings and let me kill them, or I will kill you and then go to pacify the other three seas."
Ao Guang's trembling body suddenly froze, and he stood there like a wooden chicken.
Li Qing looked down calmly, waiting for Ao Guang's decision.
How could he believe that Ao Guang would truly surrender? Dragons are creatures that are very fickle!
Only fear can make them remember it completely.
As time went by, Li Qing's domineering aura became stronger and stronger, and Ao Guang's face was gradually covered with sweat!
Finally, Ao Guang suddenly raised his head, his eyes turning cold and indifferent. He said in a deep voice, "I will call them all here right away."
"very good."
Li Qing nodded approvingly.
Since Ao Guang had made up his mind to rather kill his fellow Taoist than himself, he didn't think about it anymore. He stood up suddenly and went deep into the Dragon Palace.
Deep in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, there is a sea eye. Normally, this sea eye looks normal, it just springs out water. But what others don’t know is that there are three undercurrents beneath this sea eye!
These three undercurrents lead directly to the other three seas. The water flow in them is extremely fast, surging at a speed comparable to that of a Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
Ao Guang had an expressionless face. He reached out and took out a small bell, then started shaking it continuously.
Ao Qin, the Dragon King of the South China Sea.
Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea.
Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea.
The three of them sensed the call from their eldest brother at the same time.
But how could the sound of the bell this time make me take the children with me? It wasn't the time for the once-in-a-century gathering, was it?
The four sea dragon clans are one family, and they gather once every hundred years to strengthen the affection between brothers and sisters, and at the same time they can also form marriages with each other.
But it has only been sixty years since the last big gathering.
Although the three of them had doubts, since the eldest brother invited them, they probably had something important to ask, so they just went.
Therefore, Ao Qin brought the queen, four dragon sons, and two dragon daughters; Ao Run brought the queen and three dragon sons; and Ao Shun only brought his son and one daughter, and they all came to the East China Sea from the undercurrent.
After ringing the bell, Ao Guang returned to the Dragon Palace Hall with an expressionless face. He knelt before Li Qing again and said, "I have summoned the three traitors. Your Majesty will execute them in just a moment!"
Li Qing smiled slightly and waved his hand calmly. Zhang Kui and others understood what Li Qing meant and then sent people to surround the spring so that no water could get in.
Li Qing looked at Ao Guang and said, "This is also a chance for you to unify the world."
Ao Guang shuddered, then said calmly, "My cultivation is insufficient. Managing the East Sea is already a struggle for me, let alone managing the Four Seas. Your Majesty, please send someone else."
Upon hearing this, Li Qing burst into laughter and said proudly, "If I were to grant you the Daluo cultivation and let you rule the four seas, would you be willing to swear allegiance to me from now on and never betray me?"
Ao Guang was stunned and looked up at Li Qing.
Grant me the Daluo cultivation? You're not a saint, so how can you make me go from a Golden Immortal to a Daluo Golden Immortal with just one sentence?
But he didn't dare to refute, and nodded perfunctorily, saying, "If Your Majesty grants me such a grace, I will be loyal to you forever! I will never betray you for eternity! The whole world will surely enjoy good weather and eternal peace!"
Li Qing nodded slightly and said, "As you wish."
After saying that, he added 0.5 points of the Human Emperor attribute points to Ao Guang!
