Chapter 411: Barbarians and the Friendship of Landlords
The crystal palace shrouded in rippling water looks magnificent and mysterious. Armored knights patrol back and forth, and fish with lights in their mouths shuttle through the palace.
San Qiansui and Tie Chen returned to report and presented the golden invitation from the Taihu Lake God intact.
The Three Thousand Years Old said, "My Lord, the Great Immortal Jin Ting has agreed to come. However, that fox demon is extremely powerful and has a rebellious nature. I'm afraid he may not return the treasure."
The Taihu Water God sneered and said, "You refuse to return it? You injured my subordinates and stole my treasures. Do you really think that my Taihu Water Palace is easy to bully?"
The water god of Taihu Lake picked up the golden note, opened it, and saw smoke rising from the golden note. The ink on the golden note suddenly began to wriggle and turned into a little man with a fox tail holding a long knife, chasing after him.
The Taihu water god was furious. He stretched out his hand and slapped those ink-stained figures onto the table, leaving a black palm print on the table.
He threw the golden note on the table, took a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said, "What a bold monster! I sent a note to show my power, and he followed suit. He is vindictive and rebellious. He is indeed a wild monster."
The Taihu Lake God's expression darkened, and he felt the situation was getting tricky.
This is the way of the world. The world is impure, the heavens are not clear. The more obedient and good people are, the easier they are to control and manipulate. If people like Jin Ting Daxian, who are outsiders, fear the righteous gods or admire the king's rule, he, the Taihu Water God, will naturally be easy to control.
But the Jinting Immortal was not afraid of him, a righteous god, and had great magical powers. To deal with such a person, he could only rely on his own strength to subdue him, which was not good news for the Taihu Water God.
Although the Taihu Lake Water God is a dragon species, he is not a real dragon. With the blessing of the godhood, his Taoism can be regarded as the fourth grade, but he is not a master.
"Barbarians! Wild monsters!"
The Taihu Water God angrily shouted a few words, then suppressed his anger. He looked at Tie Chen and said, "Chen'er, go gather the soldiers, set up the Hongbo formation, hide in secret, and obey my orders."
Tiechen clasped his fists and accepted the order.
The Three Thousand Years Old hesitated and advised, "Master, we don't know the true strength of that fox demon yet, so we shouldn't resort to violence rashly. Turtle Mountain's evil dragon is a fifth-rank cultivator, yet he easily subdued it. This fox demon must be above the fifth rank. If we resort to force, we must strike with one strike, otherwise there will be endless trouble."
The Taihu Lake Water God understood this truth and simply said, "That demon has stolen the treasures of the Water Palace. If we can't make him surrender, how can we lead the Taihu Lake water tribes when the Water Palace is completely lost?"
This is a dilemma. If the Immortal Jin Ting cannot be made to bow his head, the prestige of the Water Palace will be damaged. If a big fight fails to take him down, then the prestige will be completely destroyed.
The Three Thousand Years Old hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Since the Lord has invited him here, we might as well test him a little more. If he can surrender, then that would be the best. If not, we might as well make peace with him. If he becomes one of our own, then it won't be considered as stealing the magic weapon."
The Taihu Water God glanced at the Three Thousand Years Old Man, narrowed his eyes, and said, "I know what's going on."
The Three Thousand Years Old bowed and said, "You old minister, you are too talkative."
The Taihu water god waved the two men away, and the palace eunuch came to clean up the table that he had smashed. He looked at the ink-stained palm prints on the table, and his eyes flickered slightly.
dusk.
The sun sets in the west and it is getting dark.
The red sun's energy filled the sky, dyeing all the clouds above Taihu Lake red. Above the sky were layers of red smoke of varying shades.
Above the red, there is a crimson purple outline, which goes straight into the sky and turns into a mysterious color.
Water vapor gradually rose above Taihu Lake and the fog became thicker.
More than a dozen fog-spreading officials rose from the water palace of Taihu Lake, carrying large clams, giant mussels, and large snails. From these mussels, cockles, snails and other things, they exhaled layers of fog, turning the surface of Taihu Lake into a hazy and chaotic scene.
There was dusk above and thick mist below.
The thick moisture stained the clothes of the Immortal Jin Ting, making them seem somewhat heavy.
The boatman sat at the bow, opened his mouth and spit out the dragon ball, which was like an ice bead, slowly emitting light and breaking a path in the thick fog.
The Thunder Officer said, "It's the Mist Officer from the Taihu Water Palace who's here. What a grand occasion."
The Immortal Jin Ting stood on the fishing boat and said, "You stay on it and make sure the weather is clear. You don't have to do anything else."
The thunder official, wearing a bamboo hat, said, "Don't worry, Immortal, the celestial phenomena are under my control."
Jin Ting Daxian laughed and said, "Here I come."
In the fog, lights lit up one by one.
The lights shifted dimly in the mist, gradually transforming into a long dragon. A young man wearing a tortoise shell stood at the end of the lights and bowed, saying, "Great Immortal Jin Ting, please come this way."
The Immortal Jin Ting followed the young man wearing tortoise shell in the mist, and soon the fishing boat behind him was submerged in the mist.
The fish were holding lights in their mouths, guiding themselves in the water. The first fish light was still on the surface of the water, while the second one had already gone underwater.
It stretches for several miles, deep into the water, the water palace of Taihu Lake.
The Immortal Jin Ting looked at the young turtle demon and asked, "I have seen a three thousand year old before. I wonder who you are?"
The turtle demon laughed and said, "That was my predecessor. After he abdicated at the age of three thousand, I, your junior, became the Prime Minister of the Water Palace."
"It turns out to be Prime Minister Turtle." The Immortal Jin Ting laughed.
Prime Minister Turtle said, "Compared to a three thousand year old man, my humble cultivation is not enough to help the Lord with his worries."
As he spoke, Prime Minister Turtle's face turned unhappy. He said, "A few days ago, the Three Thousand Years Old was injured by a vicious villain. I don't know who it was, but he even attacked such a respected elder like the Three Thousand Years Old."
When Prime Minister Turtle said this, he did not look at the Immortal Jin Ting, as if he was really unaware of the situation.
Jin Ting Daxian just smiled and did not respond.
For a moment, the waterways of the Water Palace fell into silence.
Prime Minister Turtle did not try to get close to him anymore. The lighted waterway led directly to the Water Palace, and in just a moment, they arrived in front of the Crystal Palace.
The Crystal Palace is sparkling, magnificent and majestic, and a crystal-like undercurrent is winding around the palace like a water dragon.
Strong and powerful soldiers lined up in the Crystal Palace, their swords and spears sharpened to a cold gleam, revealing a fierce fighting spirit.
