What is going on? Daoist Lu Ya had yet to appear but another golden cicada jumped out. Originally, accompanying the Jade Emperor to suppress the coastline was already an unexpected change that was outside of Li Changshouâs plan.
He thought that he could not dampen the Jade Emperorâs mood. Besides, no one in the Three Realms dared to offend the Jade Emperor. Therefore, he decided to come out and take a look.
However, why is the direction of development so unstable today?
The people from the Western Sect are hiding at the Dragon Princesâ gathering⌠There must be something wrong!
Li Changshou quickly thought about it and made a decision. He sent a voice transmission to the Jade Emperor in the cabin.
âYour Majesty, this person is an expert of the Western Sect. His name is Jin Chanzi. He has fought with me a few times in the past few decades. Today, the Dragon Princesâ Gathering should have been his plan. We accidentally bumped into him.
I donât know what he is plotting, but it must be related to the dragon race.â The Jade Emperor transmitted his voice calmly, âMy dear minister, just pretend that Iâm not here. Do what you have to do.â
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Your Majesty, when you were not here. This fellow came to the Sea God Temple to strip and perform a prayer dance. He did not even see me.
However, seeing the eagerness in the Jade Emperorâs eyes, Li Changshou could not say that directly.
Come to think of it, His Majesty only wants to participate in such a major event in the Heavenly CourtsâŚ
âI accept your orders!â
Li Changshou agreed and sent a voice transmission to General Dongmu.
If there was a conflict later, he had to protect the Jade Emperor immediately. The strength of his paper effigy was limited. Even if he joined forces with General Dongmu, he would not be a match for Jin Chanzi. Moreover, there were many dragon troops there. The dragon raceâs position was uncertainâŚ
If they really fought later, the Jade Emperor would probably protect the two Heavenly Courtsâ ministers. The Jade Emperor knew whether they were strong enough or not, but they had to have the right attitude and posture.
Li Changshou gestured for the dancers to rest for a while. He asked the musicians to stop playing and left the cabin with his horsetail whisk.
General Dongmu bowed slightly and made an inviting gesture. The Jade Emperor glared at him secretly. General Dongmu hurriedly straightened his back and smiled at the Jade Emperor. Just like that, the three of them stood on the deck of the ship. Li Changshouâs divine power swayed and he sped along.
The Jade Emperor sent a voice transmission and asked with a smile, âDear Changgeng, how do you usually deal with such enemies?â
âThe strength of my incarnation is limited. Itâs not good at fighting. Most of them have some ideas.â
Li Changshou did not turn around. He secretly sent a voice transmission. âThis Jin Chanzi is ruthless. His main body is a Primordial Beast. Now, he is being favored by the Saint of the Western Sect who seems to want to take him in as a disciple. Recently, the Western Sect had schemed against the dragon race and heâs the culprit behind that. It would be best if we can keep him here today.â
âAlright!â
The Jade Emperorâs eyes lit up. âToday, let me see how my beloved subordinate is going to fight the powerful people of the Western Sect!â
Li Changshou was speechless.
He said so much because he wanted to say that the Western Sect would definitely feel the pinch if he killed Jin Chanzi.
Although a golden cicada was not worthy for the Jade Emperor to personally take action, he clearly had the ability to kill his opponent directly, but he had to hide behind and watch the show.
That was a little⌠unstable.
Forget it. This is the Jade Emperor after all. Iâm just a fourth-stage God. I have many things to do and donât have much merit. If others take a break, Iâll work overtime. I can only rely on the Immortal Bean Soldiers for my troops. How could he fight with his wits?
How else could he fight with his witsâŚ
Li Changshou began to call for help secretly.
First, his spiritual will descended in the Sea God Temple and intertwined with the jade statue next door. Soon, he contacted Ao Yi and asked him to immediately bring the experts of the dragon race that he could find and rush to the West Ocean as soon as possible. Li Changshou cut off his spiritual will after Ao Yi agreed. Soon after, he sent a paper effigy that looked like a young girl to the edge of the South Ocean from Anshui City. She blew a short flute at the sea.
However, in the blink of an eye, a fish appeared in the seawater. Li Changshou sent a voice transmission to the fish.
That fish was Daoist Wen Jingâs puppet.
Li Changshou did not explain further. He only told Daoist Wen Jing to come to the West Ocean if she had the chance. She could not expose herself. She had to secretly meet him first.
After doing that, Li Changshou began to think about how he could stall for time. He had to consider his pride and the authority of the Heavenly Courts. At the same time, he had to make the Jade Emperor feel that⌠the battle was quite interesting.
Such matters were all about being reasonable and unexpected.
It seemed that he had to make use of the arrogance and stupidity in Jin Chanziâs natureâŚ
âHmph!â
At that moment, Li Changshou snorted coldly from thousands of kilometers away. His expression was cold as he flicked his horsetail whisk.
Jin Chanzi smiled and squinted when he saw that. He seemed rather smug.
At that moment, a few dragon princes stood up on the Seashell Immortal Boat. Their expressions were all different.
The princes of the West Ocean and the South Ocean Dragon Palace smiled calmly and remained unmoved. The Eldest Prince of the North Ocean Dragon Palace was puzzled, but he was still normal. The Crown Prince of the East Ocean Dragon Palace, Ao Jia, was a little nervous. He frowned and looked at Jin Chanzi, who had suddenly stood up. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes. âWhere did this fellow come from? Ao Jiaâs figure was slender, and his face was handsome. However, he was happy all year round, making him look thin. When he stood on the ship, he looked like he was dressed in a brocade robe. The horns on his head were not clear either.
At that moment, Ao Jia saw that the Sea God was coming from the southeast with an unfriendly expression. Then, an expert suddenly appeared and shouted, âCan the Sea God talk to me again?â
After thinking carefully, Ao Jia understood something
He had been set up!
Although Ao Jia usually led a carefree life, he was not a fool. He knew which path his father had chosen. At that moment, he made a prompt decision.
âBrother Sea God!â
Ao Jia shouted, looking anxious. He even passed Jin Chanzi and headed towards Li Changshou, who was 500 kilometers away. Upon seeing that, Jin Chanzi frowned slightly. He placed his hands behind his back, and a willow-leaf-shaped knife that was as thin as cicada wings appeared between his fingers. There was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
Li Changshou keenly captured Jin Chanziâs actions. He squinted and said calmly, âDo you dare?â
A smile appeared on Jin Chanziâs lips. Just as the fingers on his back were about to be flicked gently, he suddenly stopped. What a strong killing intent! Suddenly, he heard a few dragon roars. Three figures flashed out of the seawater, but they did not cause any ripples. They formed a triangle and surrounded Jin Chanzi.
They were three old men with dragon heads. Their auras were stable and dignified. The scales on their faces were slightly sanguine, and their bodies were wrapped in a layer of negative karma that could be seen with the naked eye.
Ancient Battle Dragon!
At that moment, Jin Chanziâs expression changed.
The Sea God suddenly arrivedâŚ
The dragon race had ambushed such an expertâŚ
It seems that my plan today has been seen through by the Sea God and the dragon race!
Why?
He had planned for a long time and found another way. He had secretly used the Western Sectâs secret technique to affect the mind of the West Ocean Dragon Palaceâs Crown Prince. He was prepared to make use of this opportunity to take over the next generation of the dragon race.
The dragon race valued the inheritance of the younger generation very much. As long as he controlled more than half of the dragon raceâs next generation and put pressure on the dragon race in other aspects, why would the dragon race not collapse?
However, the plan had just begun. Today, he had finally managed to summon the three Dragon Kings of the South Ocean, the East Ocean, and the North Ocean Dragon Palace, respectively. He had also found the children of a few important dragon officials.
He had secretly made a move. At that moment, he had just moved two unimportant sons of dragon officials when the Sea God arrived!
As expected, he was indeed an existence that could make the Queen of the Mosquitoes suffer continuously.
âHahaha!â
Jin Chanzi was not afraid at all when he was surrounded by the three experts of the dragon race. He laughed loudly and praised, âSea God, you win!â
Huh?
Although Li Changshouâs heart was filled with questions, he remained calm on the surface. He smiled casually, his eyes filled with disapproval. Behind him, the Jade Emperor and General Dongmu looked at each other.
General Dongmuâs eyes were filled with admiration. Although he did not understand how the Sea God did it, he could not let His Majesty see that he did not understand.
The Jade Emperor also revealed a faint smile, as if everything was under his control. The eldest prince of the East Ocean Dragon Palace had already flown in front of Li Changshou. An old man followed behind him and bowed deeply to Li Changshou.
âBrother Sea God! I was almost tricked by someone today. Itâs all thanks to Brother Sea Godâs timely arrival!â
Li Changshou nodded with a smile and asked the old man, âWhy are you here?â
The elder from the dragon race hurriedly said, âSea God, it was the Second Prince who found us and asked us to come and protect the Crown Prince.â Ao Jia smiled and said, âSo, Brother Sea God has already made arrangements!â
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
That matter was really not arranged by him. It should have been dealt with by Ao Yi.
Li Changshou said calmly, âEveryone, please attack and capture this ferocious beast!â
âThere!â
The dragon-headed elder cupped his fists and answered. He turned around and let out an earth-shattering dragon roar. The three experts from the dragon race that surrounded Jin Chanzi attacked together. Jin Chanzi chuckled and disappeared in a strange manner. When he reappeared, he was already behind the confused prince of the North Ocean Dragon Palace.
A short knife that was as thin as wings was pressed against the Dragon Princeâs neck!
At the same time, a few thin blades appeared on the backs of the necks of the West Ocean and the South Ocean Dragon Crown Prince!
The three Dragon Princes were instantly restrained. The three ancient battle dragons could only stop.
Seeing that, Ao Jia, who was thousands of kilometers away, immediately hid behind the dragon-headed elder and looked into the distance from behind the latterâs shoulder.
Jin Chanziâs gaze swept across the surroundings. He was still calm and composed. Clearly, he had already planned that method to escape. He smiled and said, âIâm good at teleportation and have extreme speed. Iâm afraid it will be troublesome if you want to keep me here. Sea God, why donât we take this opportunity to talk again? After talking to the Sea God the last time, I kept feeling that the Sea God had led me astray. I could not express my thoughts.â Li Changshou said calmly, âI have nothing to talk to you about.
Jin Chanzi, do you really dare to kill these three Highnesses? Does the Western Sect want the dragon race to obey your orders or do you want the dragon race to fight you to death?â âIâm afraid the Sea God has misunderstood,â Jin Chanzi said coldly. âIâm just an idle cultivator in the mountains. I have nothing to do with the spiritual mountains in the West.â âReally?â
Li Changshou said calmly, âThe Great Dao oath you made last time is still lingering in my ears. Why donât you dare to recognize your backer now? Could it be that he has been chased out?â
âWhat a joke!â
Jin Chanzi shouted coldly. This time, he was much more cautious and did not continue to argue. At that moment, Li Changshou heard a voice transmission. The voice was charming and gentle, but also a little timid. It was like a vibe of a delicate flower that was deliberately created.
âSir, Iâm already here. You can send a voice transmission to the spiritual fish in the sea. Iâm hiding 500 kilometers away.â
Daoist Wen Jing had already arrived.
They had not contacted each other for a period of time. Why did he say that he had changed?
Li Changshou immediately sent a voice transmission to the spiritual fish and instructed, âIf Jin Chanzi can escape later, you will take the opportunity to save him. Remember not to reveal yourself. If Jin Chanzi canât escape later, you donât have to appear. Just pretend that youâve never been here before.â
Daoist Wen Jing immediately replied via voice transmission, âI will obey your orders, Lord. There are experts from the Western Sect hiding here. Please be careful.â Li Changshou smiled when he heard that. He had already considered that. Just as he finished making arrangements for Daoist Wen Jing, he heard Jin Chanzi say loudly, âWhy did the Sea God stop 300 kilometers away? Could he be afraid? If Iâm not wrong, the Sea God is still using his incarnation. How can he not have the courage to talk to me?â
It was a provocation.
Li Changshou said calmly, âThose who discuss the Dao with me are all heroes. They are not small fries.â
It was reverse psychology.
âWhat a hero.â Jin Chanzi mocked. âIf you want to talk about scoundrels, who are the two people behind you? From the looks of it, their auras are ordinary and they have some merit from the Heavenly Courts. They are just small gods of the Heavenly Courts. Why? Am I inferior to them?â General Dongmu shouted, âYou!â
âAh.â The Jade Emperor interrupted General Dongmu with a smile. He did not say anything and just looked at Jin Chanzi quietly.
Li Changshou cursed.
âAbsurd! Ridiculous! Jin Chanzi, you use your mystical abilities to talk about heroes, but you donât know that Iâm talking about morals and character! Look at your actions. You are using the lives of the three Highnesses to threaten me. Do you still want to discuss the Dao with me? You can say that you have no shame. How can you not be called a scoundrel?â
âYou, Sea God! Youâre sharp-tongued, but I canât beat you!â
A murderous glint flashed in Jin Chanziâs eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, the golden light surged and his figure disappeared! The three ancient battle dragons punched somewhere in the sky at the same time. The universe trembled and the clouds shattered, but they did not gain anything!
The battle dragon suddenly shouted, âSea God, be careful!â
Li Changshou suddenly felt a sense of danger. A black vortex appeared on the surface of the ocean a thousand feet away. Six faint golden rays shot out from it!
At that moment, Li Changshou jumped from the left to the right and stood in front of the Jade Emperor! Li Changshou opened his arms. General Dongmu did not care about his own safety. The two of them looked as if they were ready to die. They were just short of shouting âprotect meâ and âprotect meââŚ
The Jade Emperor was speechless. He almost slapped his right arm away.
Under the cover of Li Changshou and General Dongmu, the Jade Emperor pointed his finger gently. A ray of white light shone from above and covered Li Changshouâs paper effigy.
With a few clanging sounds, the six thin golden blades were easily blocked by the white lightâŚ
Two beams of white light shot out from the Jade Emperorâs eyes. The white light converged and condensed into a huge sword that slashed into the vortex!
A painful groan sounded from the vortex. A blurry figure trembled slightly and disappeared along with the vortex. Only a handful of blood fell from the sky⌠Jin Chanziâs ferocious words came from all directions.
âI never thought that there would be hidden talents in the Heavenly Courts. I have experienced it today! You hid it but did not reveal it. You hurt others secretly. Fellow Daoist, you are not a hero. You are a true villain! Hahaha!â
Li Changshou secretly observed the Jade Emperorâs expression and his heart twitched.
Why is this brother still smiling?
âAh, Brother Yu, I finally know why you were killed nine times by a Curtain Lifting General of the Heavenly Courts who did not want to reveal his name when you reincarnated and went to get the sutraâŚâ
The Jade Emperorâs eyes were filled with white light. He looked in a certain direction in the sky and sent a voice transmission to Li Changshou. âSomeone is helping him. He escaped.â
âYour Majesty, who is receiving him?â
âA woman who should also be a ferocious beast.â
Li Changshou smiled and said, âWhat do you think of that woman, Your Majesty?â
âHey, donât think too much,â the Jade Emperor said seriously. âMy junior sister and I are the representatives of the marriage between the heavens and earth. We canât do anything rash.â Li Changshou was rendered speechless. His Majestyâs words could not be deciphered carefully.
