Don't let Yu Ding take on any more disciples.

Chapter 144 Absolutely impossible

"Brother Chang Geng, don't worry, it's alright. It must be some fool who came to cause trouble at my West Sea Dragon Palace."

Ao Run smiled as he reassured Venus, but suddenly his smile turned cold:
"However, if they think that my Xihai is a pushover, they are sorely mistaken."

However, you have indeed disturbed my and Brother Chang Geng's enjoyment; you deserve to die. Come, let me offer you a cup to calm your nerves.

To calm his nerves... Venus smiled on the surface, but inwardly chuckled to himself.

To put it bluntly, he's seen far too many scenes like this.

Even if the West Sea Dragon Palace were to be demolished today, he would only smile slightly and remain completely unfazed.

It's not like we're tearing down our own house...

"Don't rush to drink, Brother Ao. Let's find out who broke into the Dragon Palace first," Taibai said.

"Who else could it be? Didn't this fellow Daoist already tell us the answer?"

Ao Run glanced at the White Camel Taoist, who quickly gave him a fawning smile.

Ao Run coldly replied, "My dragon clan doesn't even look down on the heavens. Once we're in the sea, that's my dragon clan's domain."

"My Western Sea Dragon Palace boasts a million-strong army. I, the Dragon King, would like to see what kind of storms this Golden-Winged Roc can stir up after descending into the sea."

This time, Venus's eyes flickered, but he did not reply.

It is widely believed that the dragon race has declined, but if anyone actually believes it, then as Ao Run said, they are mostly wrong.

The so-called decline is relative to top forces such as the Chan, Jie, and Western Sects in the prehistoric world.

In reality, the dragon race simply lacks a top-tier expert to oversee and lead them, leaving them leaderless, but they are still a powerful force today.

They have ruled the vast ocean since ancient times, and to this day, they have continued to operate on the seabed for countless years, forming a highly developed underwater civilization.

It surpasses even the civilizations of other land-based civilizations.

Even in the current Heavenly Court, Ao Run dares to disrespect him, always making excuses and delaying his important task of granting amnesty.

He couldn't just turn his back on me, so he was stuck in the Dragon Palace for several months...

He would feel much better if someone really made a scene like that.

Rumble…

As they were talking, a loud crashing sound came from the crystal palace, which was shaking.

"what sound?"

Ao Run turned his head and looked behind the Crystal Palace, somewhat surprised and uncertain.

"Report! Report to the Dragon King!"

A burly, dark-skinned crab general entered, knelt down, and said, "It's terrible! A great enemy has emerged from our clan's Western Sea Treasure Vault and is marching towards our Crystal Palace."

Venus looked at Ao Run in astonishment.
The two looked at each other.

"Emerging from my Dragon Clan's Treasury... Impossible!"

Ao Run felt a little embarrassed by Taibai's gaze, so he waved his hand and said confidently, "My West Sea Treasure Vault is guarded by two Earth Immortal-level Silver Dragon Generals, as well as a Golden Immortal Formation. The Dragon Queen and my Moanglong'er just went there."

Heh, that feathered beast is merely a Void Returning cultivator; how much cultivation could it possibly possess? And it came from my Western Sea Treasure Vault? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

hold head high!
Before the words were finished, an unhealthy dragon roar rang out, and a black dragon flew into the hall, landing and transforming into Moang.

He turned pale as soon as he landed, knelt down, supporting himself with one hand on the ground and pressing the other against his chest. He coughed up blood.

"Son, what's wrong? What happened?"

Ao Run was a little confused: "Who hurt you?"

It's no wonder he reacted this way; the information he received indicated that the golden-winged bird had not yet grown up and was still in its infancy, its cultivation level was at the Void Realm, and its magical power was not high.

He didn't take such a minor character seriously at all, and he felt that issuing a kill order for the West Sea was a bit too much of a show.

Later, he survived the tribulation to become an immortal... but that was just a True Immortal Realm, so he didn't take it too seriously.

But is Moang injured right now?
To put it bluntly, Ao Run had many children, but Mo Ang, his eldest son, was undoubtedly the most talented and the one most like him.

Since he began cultivating, his strength has increased by leaps and bounds, almost catching up with the older generation of masters in the Dragon Palace.

Now, at the late stage of the True Immortal Realm, even the Dragon Queen cannot suppress him, and he has grown into the second most powerful expert in the West Sea Dragon Palace after him.

He could beat his eldest son like this...

Ao Run approached Mo Ang and gritted his teeth, asking, "Who exactly is it?"

Not only was Ao Run a little confused, but Taibai Jinxing, Bai Tuo Daoren, and Turtle Prime Minister were all completely bewildered.

"Father...Father, we've been tricked by Ao Rong."

Moang said with difficulty, "It wasn't the Golden Roc King who attacked the second brother, but rather the second brother who cooked someone else's parents..."

The Golden Roc King followed his aunt into the treasure vault without her noticing. He then swallowed the Sacred Dragon Pill and has now become a half-step Celestial Immortal. He's here for revenge!

Where is your aunt?

"I reckon... the chances of survival are slim."

Upon hearing this, Ao Run's eyes flickered, but he did not show any particular anger. Instead, he stood up abruptly and looked behind him with a cold gaze: "I will go and kill this hairy beast."

"Father, please calm down!" Ao Run grabbed Ao Run's hand.

Ao Run looked over, somewhat puzzled.

“Father, we know the background of the Dragon Queen, but we dare not touch her because of her background.”

"If King Jinpeng kills her, wouldn't that eliminate a major threat to our West Sea Dragon Palace?" Moang transmitted his voice.

Ao Run transmitted his voice and sneered, "But if my Western Sea allows this feathered beast to wreak havoc in the Western Sea today, it will surely be ridiculed by all living beings in the prehistoric world, just like the Heavenly Court. How can it stand on its own now?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Taibai, seemingly unintentionally, revealing his guilty conscience.

After all, when the Heavenly Court was in turmoil, the Western Sea was just one of the onlookers watching the show.

"For every gain, there is a loss... Whether it's gain or loss depends on how Father handles it," Moang transmitted his voice.

Ao Run fell into deep thought.

Upon hearing the name "Golden Roc King," the White Camel Daoist smiled inwardly.

Big brother, you're awesome!

Its reputation has spread so quickly.

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Flame General, standing beside Venus, turned deathly pale.

"what happened?"

Taibai keenly sensed something was wrong and sent a telepathic message to the Heavenly Flame God.

Tianyan hesitated, looking conflicted.

"General Tianyan, you are also a veteran of our Heavenly Court. Before you commit a grave mistake, speaking out might still offer some redemption."

Taibai's expression darkened as he transmitted his voice: "If something irreversible happens... the situation at that time will probably not be what we want to see."

"Taibai, I...I was tricked by Ao Rong..."

Tianyan General looked dejected, his face was ashen, and his eyes showed fear as he telepathically recounted the whole story.

Of course, he kept his eagerness to learn dragon language, ahem, a secret.

However, this did not dispel his fear, because after Ao Rong served the dishes, he did not touch them and they were still eaten by the Golden Roc King.

At Ao Rong's urging, he even took a bite and offered his opinion...

Thinking of this, Tianyan Shenjiang felt only grief and endless terror... "That bastard Ao Rong ruined me."

"So, this Golden-Winged Roc's parents are Golden-Winged Birds, and it's very likely that it's a case of bloodline atavism?"

“Taibai, we shouldn’t use uncertain terms at this point. It’s basically certain,” Tianyan Divine General said with a bitter face.

"hiss……"

After hearing Tianyan's story, Taibai gasped and looked up at the sky, feeling a bit dizzy.

If he previously thought there was only a 50% chance of him causing havoc in Heaven...

At this moment, the probability has undoubtedly risen to 98%.

"Taibai, why are you looking at me like that?"

Venus withdrew his gaze, shook his head with a wry smile, and wondered what sins the Heavenly Court had committed to recruit such a group of talented individuals.
He had already investigated the cause and effect of the first disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, which turned out to be due to the Heavenly Generals privately inflating their military merits...

The second time, as everyone knows, was due to the imperfections in the Heavenly Court's laws...

Nowadays...

At this moment, Xiaofei found himself in a magnificent underwater city, China.

Ahead stood a huge, towering, magnificent, and crystal-clear palace.

Behind him lay a collapsed ruin and the wriggling crabs, fish, and shrimp.

The shrimp soldiers and crab generals stared at the figure with golden hair flowing down his shoulders, holding a halberd, and sharp eyes, looking like a demon god. Their eyes revealed fear, and their hands and feet holding weapons trembled uncontrollably.

For every step Xiaofei took, the aquatic army retreated a step.

"Go! Go! We can't let him break into the Crystal Palace and disturb the Dragon King!"

Several silver-armored dragon generals commanded the army in a charge, but nowadays everyone was terrified.

Not a single soldier dared to advance.

"Hmm?" Xiao Fei raised his eyes and glanced at the dragon general.

Then he looked at the trembling shrimp soldiers and crab generals, their eyes filled with fear.

These aquatic creatures had cultivated for quite some time, but due to their bloodline and race, their magical power was very weak, making them mere cannon fodder in his presence.

When these soldiers died, he saw not a trace of anger in the eyes of the dragon general at the loss of his men.

There wasn't even the slightest bit of sadness.

"In this world, the lives of the weak are truly tragic."

Xiao Fei let out a sigh from the bottom of his heart.

If he wasn't chosen by the teacher, his fate would probably be no different from those of the lowly soldiers.

To live a life in a daze.

but……

His gaze sharpened; he was different now.

"I'm here to see Ao Run. If you don't want to die, get out of my way."

Xiao Fei gave a low shout and charged towards the dragon general like a cannonball.

He didn't kill those lowly soldiers and generals; as the saying goes, he too rose from the bottom.

Why make things difficult for those at the bottom?
His enemies are Ao Run and the dragons of the West Sea Dragon Palace, not these cannon fodder.

hold head high!
The dragon general hurriedly raised his spear, which shot out like a dragon, and a silver dragon phantom rushed out, but it was shattered by the halberd as soon as it flew out.

Boom!

The dragon was sent flying backwards, and at the same time, its body glowed, transforming into a thousand-foot-long silver dragon that crashed in front of the Crystal Palace.

"presumptuous!"

With a roar, a white-bearded black dragon, its body radiating a yellow light, surged forth.

Its massive body was covered in jet-black scales that looked like they were made of steel. Its gaze was cold and menacing. As soon as it appeared, it filled the area, and a dragon claw descended upon it from all directions.

"Well done!"

Xiao Fei's black halberd emitted a dark light as he slashed out fiercely.

When the two collided, the seawater churned as if boiling, and a blazing light appeared between the halberd and the dragon claw.

boom!
After the exchange, Xiao Fei's body trembled, and he retreated a thousand feet, staring at the enormous black dragon across the water without fear.

"That halberd..."

Ao Run's eyes flashed, and suddenly he heard something. He looked down and saw the once magnificent West Sea Dragon Palace now a complete ruin.

"You wretched child..."

“A wise man once said that those who kill will always be killed. Your son harmed my parents, and now I am simply using his methods on him.”

Xiao Fei laughed: "If a son is not taught, it is the father's fault. If you can't teach your son well, I will teach him for you. If you can't manage your wife well, I will manage her for you."

In short, do you now feel my pain?

"You...you feathered beast, when did it become your place to lecture me?"

Ao Run was so angry he was practically fuming. He didn't care about losing a son or two.

Anyway, he's still in his prime, and he can have another son if he loses him, but he can't bear to hear these lecturing words... Ao Run can't bear it.

Xiao Fei dodged the grab with a swift movement, then looked at Ao Run with some surprise: "You lost your son, and you don't even understand pain?"

Then it looked up and transformed into a beam of golden light, rushing towards the sea.

Learning to play to one's strengths and avoid one's weaknesses is essential in combat.

The sea is the dragons' home ground, but his speed advantage cannot be utilized, so he has to fight at sea.

"You beast, I will tear you apart!"

With a long roar, Ao Run soared into the sky.

"Don't talk your way out of your lofty position. In the eyes of a powerful being, you're nothing but a piece of meat..."

Xiao Fei's voice came through. I remember Senior Sister Longji saying that there is an extremely delicious dish in the world called Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow.

He had never seen or eaten what it looked like... but as the name suggests, wasn't it just about taking out dragon liver to cook?
……

The Imperial Pool shimmered with light, filled with a spiritual aura.

A group of fish blew bubbles underwater and floated up. When they touched the fishhook, they popped open with a "pop," causing the hook to dangle in the water.

Haotian smiled faintly, showing no anger, as if whether the fish took the bait or not was none of his business.

Suddenly, the water churned violently, and a fish took the bait.

Haotian pulled up the fishing hook, and a golden dragonfish appeared on it.

Haotian smiled, reached out and picked the fish, then threw it back into the water.

Yu Ding watched this scene thoughtfully.

"What has the real person thought of?!" Haotian turned his head with a smile.

Yu Ding laughed and said, "Your Majesty's act of arresting first and then releasing shows that you are not seeking the result, but rather enjoying the process."

"Your insight is profound. In fact, the most profound truths in this world are often hidden in the ordinary things we see everywhere."

Haotian gazed at the calm water and smiled, "Sometimes you may appear to be a calm surface, but who knows what kind of waves are hidden beneath?"

The Heavenly Emperor's words were a veiled reference to the current situation in the Three Realms...

Yu Ding frowned. He could see that beneath the calm surface of the water was a murky mess, not as tranquil as it seemed.

The principle of "big fish eat little fish, little fish eat shrimp" still applies in Heaven.

"Your Majesty, Taibai reports that someone may be planning to cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace again."

Yu Ding thought about it and decided to speak up. Otherwise, if he said it was nothing and it actually happened, he would be in a difficult position to explain himself.

Let's get rid of him first... If the apprentice really comes, with him there, we can handle things a bit.

"Havoc in Heaven?"

Haotian smiled, his eyes sparkling: "As the saying goes, there's always a second chance, but never a third or fourth."

This is truly disregard for the Heavenly Court and the Emperor!

"My good temper doesn't mean I don't have one. I'd like to see what kind of wicked creature this time..."

"For such a mere wretched creature to require the intervention of the Heavenly Emperor would be beneath His Majesty's dignity."

Yu Ding smiled and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will take care of everything."

"Oh?" Haotian glanced at the jade cauldron and said, "Last time it was you, True Person, who helped the Heavenly Court out of a predicament. How can we trouble you again this time?"

Can you manage with just one clone?
"No trouble, no trouble."

Yu Ding laughed and said, "Maintaining the stability of the Heavenly Court is the responsibility of every member of the Jade Void Sect. How can you say it's troublesome?"

If someone like the Heavenly Emperor were to take action...
Whether it's an apprentice or a student, they'll probably end up with nothing but ashes.

"You are truly a man of noble character... Why don't you come to my Heavenly Court?" Haotian said with a smile.

This jade tripod seems to be much more responsible than him.

Or... after he descends to the mortal realm, before the new Heavenly Emperor emerges, he could hand over the Heavenly Court to Yu Ding to act as his temporary representative?
