Chapter 127 The girl walks between the two armies...
The girl walked between the two armies and then traveled a distance towards Chi You.
Chi You was watching warily when he noticed movement from the other side. Just as he was about to give the order, he saw that the other side was a young girl walking towards him. Chi You paused for a moment, intending to see what the other side was up to.
Just then, the little girl shouted:
"Hey! What tribe are you from? Is your king, Chi You, going to attack us?"
Chi You: ? ? ?
What? Attack whom? Before today, he had no idea that there were other human tribes outside Jiuli.
Chi You got angry and shouted:
"Nonsense! I've done nothing wrong. Even if I were to fight, I would send someone over beforehand to explain. And what tribe are you from?! Why did you bring troops to Jiuli out of the blue? Aren't you just looking for trouble?!"
The girl was stunned for a moment, then said to Chi You, "Wait a minute."
Then he ran back and reported to Anong:
“Mother, the people on the other side said they weren’t attacking us. Their tribe is called Jiuli. They even asked us what our intentions were in bringing our troops here.”
Anong immediately gave the order:
"Hold these three guys down and tie them up."
The three Jiuli people who were about to escape were immediately tied up. Anong had the three tied up and said:
"Let's go, these three people are up to no good. Let's ask Chi You on the other side if he recognizes them."
The three people were terrified.
Anong, exuding an imposing aura, led his men to Chi You and addressed Chi You, who was riding on the iron-eating beast:
"Come down, let's talk."
Chi You was somewhat irritable, but after seeing the three people bound hand and foot, he jumped off the iron-eating beast and said with a grim expression:
"Who are you people, and why are you with these three demon children?"
Anong's face was calm: "The three of them said that the king of the Jiuli tribe is cruel and bloodthirsty and will attack our Jiang clan soon. For the sake of the tribe's peace, I brought people here to investigate. There may be some misunderstanding. It would be best if we could avoid fighting."
Chi You's eyes flashed fiercely, and he immediately looked at the demon child and said:
“Their mother, a witch, bewitched the tribe and killed many women and children. I killed her, so she must be seeking revenge.”
Ah Nong understood. Then he looked at the Jiuli soldiers behind Chi You. They were all glaring angrily at the three people who were tied up. None of them had any complaints about Chi You, which showed that Chi You was not lying.
"Alright, it seems to be a misunderstanding. Since they are your own people, I can't do it for you. You can take them back and deal with them yourselves."
Chi You's expression softened slightly. Although the Jiuli people were rough, they still knew some manners. He didn't know there were people outside, but it was a tradition passed down from his ancestors. There were other human tribes in this world besides the Jiuli. They were far away and he should be more polite when they met them in the future.
He had initially thought these people were there to cause trouble, hence his grim expression. However, now that the opposing leader wasn't unreasonable, Chi You naturally wouldn't be either.
"Alright, since it's a misunderstanding, you withdraw your troops, hand over the people to me, and we'll leave each other alone."
Anong readily handed the man over to Chiyou. As Chiyou was about to leave, Anong looked towards the Ten Thousand Mountains, hesitated for a moment, and then called out to Chiyou:
"King Jiuli, do you have many medicinal herbs in your mountains? I have come from afar, and I wonder if there is a chance to exchange ideas with your tribe about herbs and related culture? In exchange, we will also share our cultivation experience with you."
Chi You was taken aback: "What herbal culture?"
Anong explained, "These are herbs that can treat discomfort in the human body; our tribe calls them medicine."
Chi You suddenly realized:
"You mean the herbs the witch doctors boil in water? Sure, but will you really teach our tribe how to grow them?"
Over the years, the only thing the Jiuli tribe has done well in terms of planting culture is rice; everything else has been largely forgotten over time.
Anong nodded: "Of course, we are all human, what's wrong with us exchanging ideas?"
Chi You's mood instantly improved: "Alright! Then come with me, but you can only bring a portion of the people you brought."
Otherwise, what if they all get there and then launch an attack?
Anong readily agreed, then turned and instructed Nvwa to stay and look after the army. She then took about ten people and followed Chiyou away, without any concern that Chiyou would cause trouble after they left.
Chi You turned around and said fiercely to his subordinates, "Behead these three traitors and throw them to the wolves!"
The three men were immediately killed by the eager Jiuli soldiers and thrown into the mountains to be eaten by wolves.
Anong remained unfazed; that's how they deal with traitors.
Cang Li was somewhat surprised. So, Chi You and Yan Di didn't fight at first, but instead had a friendly exchange? What exactly caused the Battle of Zhuolu?
Taiqing shook his head: "Even if Fellow Daoist Hongyun is reincarnated, he will still have the same personality."
That's true. Anong really doesn't like fighting. He'll give people whatever they want. His only hobby is eating grass.
Cang Li was about to continue observing the situation on Jiuli's side when he suddenly heard the sound of a conch shell. Cang Li was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening.
This conch shell must have been blown by Fuqu. Fuqu said she would only blow a conch shell in an emergency. Could it be that something happened to Fuqu?
Cang Li immediately said to Tai Qing:
"I heard the sound of Fuqu's conch shell; I must go to the East Sea!"
Taiqing paused for a moment. He hadn't heard the conch shell's sound, but what about the East China Sea...?
Cangli headed towards the East Sea before Taiqing could speak. She was worried about Fuqu, who had never blown a conch shell before. If Fuqu was blowing a conch shell, it must be something important.
Taiqing sighed. The North Sea, West Sea, and South Sea have already submitted to the Heavenly Court, and the East Sea is also about to give up and will probably submit as well. If something happens at this time, it is definitely not a good thing.
When Cang Li arrived at the East Sea, he saw Fu Qu weeping on the shore, and a huge black dragon circling in the sky, facing tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals.
"Lotus!"
Cangli landed in front of Fuqu and helped her up:
"What's going on!?"
How could the East Sea be fighting with the Heavenly Court?
Cang Li looked out over the sea and saw many aquatic corpses floating on the sea, including several dragons.
This situation clearly indicates that a major battle has taken place; the sky-dwelling creature was covered in blood, and the dripping blood stained a section of the sea red.
Fuqu grabbed Cangli's arm:
"Cang Li, so many aquatic creatures have died. The great white shark and clownfish that used to bully me are all dead. I'm scared. Mo is going to die too..."
As Fuqu spoke, she began to cry; she was truly terrified.
Cang Li asked earnestly, "What exactly happened?"
Fuqu sobbed and said:
"That Heavenly Emperor wanted the four seas to submit and the dragons to yield. The dragons of the West Sea, North Sea, and East Sea couldn't resist and have already submitted. Our East Sea is a bit special. The dragons of the East Sea don't have a king, and everyone disagreed, so they fought and many died. Mo said he could never be subordinate to the Heavenly Court. The East Sea is free, so why should it be subject to control?"
"The fighting has been going on for a long time. The aquatic creatures of the East Sea are almost all wiped out. They're even setting fire to the water. It's terrifying!"
Cang Li: ...
Cang Li didn't know what to say. If they could attack the East Sea, it must have been an order from Er. If they couldn't persuade him, they would just attack. It seemed normal, but the method was too ruthless. There were countless corpses floating in the East Sea.
"Fuqu, tell me what the aquatic creatures of the East Sea are thinking? Are they willing to die rather than submit? How many dragons are left in the East Sea?"
"The aquatic race is afraid and wants to submit, but Mo and the others disagree because this branch of the dragon race in the East Sea is a direct descendant of the ancestral dragon."
Cang Li understood, and she also felt a bit of a headache. In her heart, she definitely hoped that Er would win, but she couldn't really let the Dragon Clan wipe out the East Sea issue.
A dragon's roar echoed from the sky, and several more dragons rose from the sea, clearly indicating that a decisive battle was about to begin.
Fuqu hurriedly pulled at Cangli:
"Mo, Mo looks really bad!"
Cang Li pondered for a moment and said to Fu Qu, "I'll have them temporarily cease hostilities and see if we can discuss it."
Fuqu nodded: "Cangli, I'm counting on you."
Cang Li flew forward. Ji and Yu, the Heavenly Court's commanders, picked up Cang Li and were stunned for a moment before exclaiming in surprise:
"Sister? What brings you here?"
Cang Li waved his hand: "Don't be so polite, it was Fu Qu who asked me for help."
Ji and Yu suddenly realized that they remembered Fuqu, who was Cangli's friend and a member of the aquatic tribe. So she was a member of the East Sea aquatic tribe?
The man looked at Cang Li with some shame and said:
“Sister, the Dragon Clan of the East Sea is unrestrained, and the weather in this area is unpredictable. That’s why we want them to submit to the Heavenly Court and be restrained, instead of letting them control the clouds and rain at will.”
Cang Li nodded: "I understand, but judging from their posture, they are unwilling to be subservient. How about this, I will mediate for you, otherwise if the fighting continues, all the aquatic creatures of the East Sea will be wiped out, and it will be a loss for everyone."
Ji and Yu immediately nodded: "We'll do whatever you say, Sister!"
After saying that, he gestured for the others to leave.
Cang Li turned and flew to Mo's side. Mo was covered in wounds, and many of his scales were missing. Cang Li sighed.
"Fuqu sent me."
The black dragon stopped, signaling its kin behind it not to move rashly, then asked Cang Li:
"You've come to persuade us to surrender?"
Cang Li shook his head:
"No, but continuing this fight will not benefit anyone. The Heavenly Court does not want you to do whatever you want in the sea and cause disaster to this place. In other words, you may not submit, but you must abide by the rules of the Heavenly Court."
Those regulations are all beneficial to heaven and earth and all living beings.
Mo looked at Cang Li with annoyance:
"The East Sea is the territory of the Dragon Clan!" Aren't they already forced into the sea enough?
Cang Li pointed to the floating corpses on the sea and said:
"Keep fighting, or the entire East China Sea aquatic life will be wiped out."
Mo gritted his teeth and only lowered his head after a long time:
"As long as they don't interfere with the internal affairs of the East Sea aquatic tribes, I will ensure that my tribesmen abide by the heavenly rules and fulfill their duties. But can you make that decision?"
Cang Li nodded: "Of course, you just need to abide by the rules, not cause trouble, and protect the peace of this area. That's all you need to ask. Besides, the Heavenly Court is severely understaffed and they can't spare any manpower to take over the East Sea, so your Dragon Clan should still manage the East Sea themselves."
Mo transformed back into human form, his face pale as he looked at Cang Li: "Then go and tell him, I want the result now, or it will be a fight to the death!"
Cang Li was a little helpless, but Mo, this dragon, had been stubborn for a long time. Cang Li turned around and went to talk to Ji and Yu.
