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

Chapter 415 Ao Guang: I've become honest, please let me go.
"Li Jing? I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before."

Huang Long pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and patted the petrified jade cauldron beside him: "Do you remember the jade cauldron?"

Yu Ding turned around and gave a smile that looked more like a grimace: "No!"

This trouble was even worse than what Nezha caused.

This mess will be left to Taiyi to handle, and will have nothing to do with Yu Ding Zhenren.

"Li Jing? Li Jing!"

Upon learning the true culprit, Ao Guang, enraged, gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't even go looking for you, yet you've already ruined my son's Dao heart! I, Ao Guang, am not finished with you! Kill him!"

"Oh no! Dragon King, please wait..."

Yu Ding's expression changed, and he hurriedly tried to stop him, but before he could finish speaking, Ao Guang roared and revealed his dragon form, rushing out of the palace and heading away.

As for where to go, even a fool could figure it out.

"Alright, Yu Ding, you don't need to worry about this. It's just a human general, Xiao Guangzi can handle it."

Huanglong calmly picked up a bunch of grapes on the table, ate them, and hummed, "This matter cannot go unresolved. Even if my dragon clan is in decline, it shouldn't be bullied like this."

"Get it done my ass! I'm afraid your nephew won't come back alive..." Yu Ding pulled Huang Long away and said, "Go and stop the Dragon King first, and tell them not to make a move. I'll stay here and find out what happened."

Li Jing was limited by his talent and physical constitution, making it difficult for him to achieve immortality. Although he had some achievements in martial arts, he was still not enough when facing immortals and demons. Therefore, he gave Li Jing a cheat code.

When I last saw Li Jing, that kid was already able to use 60% of Bifang's demonic power, so he might not be without a fighting chance against a Golden Immortal.

Now that so much time has passed, who knows how well Li Jing and Bi Fang have gotten along?

He wasn't quite sure what had happened this time, but he was certain that if Ao Guangzhen came to Li Jing's door and started fighting, Li Jing would be able to pin his nephew Huang Long to the ground and beat him to a pulp.

If it drags on, he worries that this time it won't be Nezha pulling out Ao Bing's dragon tendons, but Li Jing skinning Ao Guang alive.

Huanglong, who was pushed outside the palace by Yu Ding, said: "No, Yu Ding, your disciple's Dao heart has been broken, why are you still speaking up for outsiders?"

"Look at the state my great-nephew has become! It's not unreasonable for my dragon clan to demand an explanation, is it?"

Yu Ding had no choice but to say, "Li Jing is Nezha's biological father."

Huang Long roared, "This time, even if he's the Heavenly King's father, it won't matter!"

Yu Ding had assumed Huang Long knew the name of Taiyi's disciple, but seeing that he didn't, he had no choice but to explain, "Nezha is the reincarnation of Lingzhu, Taiyi's disciple. Last time Taiyi took on a disciple, we even went to the Chen Tang Pass General's Mansion. Have you forgotten?"

After much deliberation, he decided to bring in Taiyi to save the day.

Otherwise, if they knew that Li Jing was his disciple, Huang Long and Ao Guang would probably be furious and kick over the wine table on the spot, then draw their swords and cut him for tens of thousands of miles.

The tutor, whom they had hired to treat their son to a good meal and drinks, ended up ruining his prospective disciple's resolve to pursue his spiritual path...

awkward!

That scene was incredibly awkward.

If it were Old Taiyi instead, there wouldn't be this awkward situation; Huanglong knows Old Taiyi's temperament well.

"what?!"

Huang Long's expression changed: "Yes, yes, I remember now, this is bad! If Taiyi gets involved, things will be difficult."

Huang Long was no longer calm, and a look of worry appeared on his face: "No, I have to go see my nephew. Yu Ding, you should come quickly too. If a conflict breaks out, I, cough cough, might not be able to handle things with Taiyi."

"It's not that you definitely can't handle it..." Yu Ding waved his hand and said, "Go quickly. If Taiyi hasn't come out and it's just Ao Guang and Li Jing who have a conflict, then you must keep them both calm."

Huang Long turned and walked away confidently, saying, "Don't worry, I can definitely handle these two."

"Oh, by the way, if you can't handle Li Jing, remember to say you're a friend of Master Taixu..." Yu Ding instructed.

But as he spoke, Huanglong had already disappeared from his sight without giving a response.

"I wonder if this guy heard it or not." Yu Ding shook his head.

Previously, Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva had already angered Li Jing by coming to his door to forcibly take him as a disciple.

As the saying goes, once is enough, twice is too much, but a third time is not. If Huanglong goes and reveals his identity as Ao Guang's ninth uncle, Li Jing might not be able to bear it this time.

It should be noted that after being trained by him, Li Jing is no longer the spineless middle-aged man in the original story; his strength has increased, and his temperament has naturally followed suit.

Yu Ding turned and went back into Ao Bing's bedroom. He sat down at the table and glanced at Bing Xin, who had brought the news:

"You just said... that it was General Li Jing of Chentang Pass who turned the Third Prince into this state?"

Bing Xin turned her gaze toward the Dragon Queen of the East Sea.

The Dragon Queen of the East Sea wore a golden robe, looking noble and elegant, and exuding the majesty of the mother of the Dragon Palace.

He immediately said, "Bingxin, this is the Jade Cauldron Immortal, who is also the master the Dragon King found for Bing'er. You must answer whatever the Immortal asks you truthfully, without any concealment."

The Dragon Girl, having been fed some water, seemed to have calmed down somewhat, and nodded to the Jade Cauldron upon hearing this.

Yu Ding nodded slightly and said, "Now you will tell me the whole story."

Bingxin then said, "The matter is like this: the Third Prince heard that the General of Chentang Pass had been disrespectful to the Dragon King and had drawn a boundary line on the ground..."

At this moment, above Chentang Pass.

The previously clear sky was swept by a fierce wind again, bringing in dark clouds from all directions that shrouded the world in gloom.

Behind the dark clouds, a massive shadow loomed from afar.

It started to drizzle again inside the pass.

Above the General's Mansion, a ferocious dragon head suddenly emerged from behind the dark clouds: "Li Jing, you get out here for me!"

Li Jing was engrossed in revising a book in his study when he was disturbed. He looked up abruptly, his face darkening.

"It's not over, isn't it!"

Li Jing immediately dropped his pen, got up and walked out of the study. Looking up, he saw a huge shadow moving behind the dark clouds, as big as a mountain range, giving people an endless sense of oppression.

This dragon was even larger than the Black Dragon King from before. At this moment, it was as mighty as a prison, exuding a powerful and terrifying aura, and it was wearing a crown on its enormous head.

Inside Li Jing's body, Bifang exclaimed in surprise, "Oh? The Dragon King of the East Sea has arrived."

The Dragon King of the East Sea… Li Jing’s heart stirred, but his face showed no fear. He stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, “Li Jing is here. Dragon King of the East Sea, what business do you have with this general?”

Ao Guang stared intently at Li Jing, his voice booming with fury, "Li Jing, you have repeatedly been disrespectful to me, yet I have not held it against you. But now you have corrupted my son's Dao heart. What is the reason for this?"

"To corrupt your son's heart?"

Li Jing immediately thought of the little white dragon who had just run away in tears, and whom he had grabbed and frightened.

No, I was just trying to scare myself, how could it be...?

Bi Fang taunted, "Hahaha, serves you right for your dirty deeds. Now the victim has come knocking on your door. Let's see what you do now."

Ao Guang angrily retorted, "What, you dare to do it but not admit it?"

After hearing this, Li Jing realized he had gone too far and immediately clasped his hands in apology, saying, "I'm truly sorry, Dragon King, this might be a misunderstanding. I genuinely didn't know it was an order..."

"Misunderstand?"

Upon hearing Li Jing's words and recalling Ao Bing's current miserable state, Ao Guang laughed in fury: "You ruined my son's Dao heart and destroyed his life's path to immortality, and now you think you can just use the words 'misunderstanding' as an explanation to send me away?"

Li Jing frowned: "Then, according to your wishes, Dragon King, how do you intend to resolve this matter?"

"Husband, what happened?"

At this moment, Madam Yin, leading a child with two buns, came to the courtyard with a worried expression.

"Wow, Mom, a little snake."

The little boy looked at the dragon in the sky, his dark eyes immediately lit up, and he reached out to grab it.

"What are you doing here? It's dangerous here! Take Nezha back quickly!" Li Jing shouted urgently.

Ao Guang's eyes lit up when he saw Lady Yin and Nezha. His massive body moved swiftly and pounced on the two of them: "What you did to my son, I will return to your son in full!"

The enormous dragon's body was like cast metal, its scales emerging from behind the dark clouds. It stretched for thousands of feet, like a mountain range that pressed down on the heavens and the earth, terrifying and ferocious.

In an instant, the dragon rapidly magnified in the child's eyes.
Then, with an angry dragon roar, Nezha was instantly jolted as if struck by lightning, and stood frozen in place.

"Zha'er! Zha'er! You...you're alright, don't scare your mother!"

Lady Yin was so shocked by the dragon's roar that she felt dizzy and her blood was churning. She was terrified when she saw her son, who was standing there dumbfounded.

"No, there is murderous intent!"

Suddenly, the dragon's scales bristled, as if sensing some great terror. It stopped its descent and twisted its head in fear to look around.

However, the murderous aura that had just appeared was also gone just as quickly, and now there was nothing at all, as if it were all a dream.

"Could it be that I've misperceived?" Ao Guang wondered to himself.

"You dare?! Bifang!"

On the other side, Li Jing panicked when he saw his son in danger. He shouted and instantly the Demon God's Fire covered his entire body, transforming into a Demon God's Garment. A terrifying aura swept across the sky.

As Li Jing took a step, the ground beneath his feet exploded, and his figure vanished in a flash. The next instant, he reappeared in front of Ao Guang with a terrifying aura.

"you you……"

Ao Guang's pupils shrank suddenly in his lake-like eyes, his dragon scales bristled and an overwhelming sense of crisis surged in his heart, but before he could make a move, Li Jing kicked him in the chin.

"Awooo~~" With a painful dragon roar, dragon blood splattered and snow-white dragon teeth flew off.

The enormous dragon's body involuntarily soared into the sky.

But that wasn't all. Li Jing looked up and appeared behind Ao Guang in a flash, grabbing the massive dragon tail with both hands and swinging it through the air.

It stirred up the clouds in the sky with just a few laps, forming a tornado.

"Oh~ Hahaha, Daddy is so great, Daddy is so awesome, hit him hard!"

At this moment, in the courtyard below, Nezha, who had been in a daze, saw Li Jing displaying great power and his eyes lit up again. He pointed to the sky and cheered.

"Phew~" Seeing that Nezha was alright, Yin Guangling breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, following the direction Nezha pointed, she was stunned to see that the Dragon King of the East Sea was in Li Jing's hands just like a snake in the hands of a snake charmer.

Gradually, a smile appeared on her face. She picked up Nezha and looked at Li Jing together, her eyes filled with happiness. She seemed to see again the poor boy who used to follow her around, but now he had grown to an unbelievable level.

He supported his family with his broad back, and also supported the stable life of millions of people in Chentangguan.

“Nār, your father is truly an extraordinary person, no, he is our hero,” Yin Guangling murmured.

Nezha seemed to be deep in thought, then suddenly pointed to the sky and said, "When I grow up, I want to be a great hero like my father."

Yin Guangling chuckled and didn't take those words to heart: "Alright, alright, my Nezha will also be a great hero."

Meanwhile, the battle in the sky had become... monotonous!
Faced with Li Jing's furious attack, Ao Guang, the Dragon King who ruled the entire East Sea, was powerless to fight back and could only take the beating.

At this moment, Ao Guang was only a dozen feet tall and was frantically fleeing. However, he found that his size was too large, which put him at a disadvantage. He was too conspicuous and it was not easy for him to escape.

Yes, at this moment, he had been thoroughly subdued by Li Jing and no longer wanted to seek justice for his son; he just wanted to go home.

He had to admit that his anger had made him lose his mind today, and he had rushed in too quickly without calling his powerful helpers, Uncle Jiu and Jade Cauldron Immortal.

Otherwise, how could this monster in front of us have the audacity to be so arrogant...

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch..."

Before Ao Guang could finish his thought, he let out a scream, only to be caught up by Li Jing, who grabbed his tail and slammed it hard against the ground. Immediately, with a loud rumble, the ground shook violently and cracked open, revealing a huge fissure.

Ao Guang was thrown around so hard he was completely disoriented. Even with his powerful dragon body, he couldn't stand up for a long time and could only lie on the ground, staring in horror at the god-like and demon-like figure in mid-air.

"What...what kind of monster is this?"

The tormented Ao Guang murmured to himself, filled with terror, finally understanding why his son had ended up like that.

He was also in despair when he encountered such an incomprehensible monster!
Li Jing stared at him, but showed no sign of stopping. With a swift movement, he launched a flying kick at Ao Guang.

He was prepared to teach his neighbor a lesson.

Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. In the past, the East Sea Dragon Palace was not so easy to talk to. The people of Chentang Pass had to offer cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks every year to ensure that the people on both sides of the strait would have good weather and abundant harvests.

In some remote areas, there are still outdated customs such as the River God's wedding ceremony and the sacrifice of young boys and girls.

In response, the former generals who guarded Chentang Pass dared not say much. Some even colluded with each other to take the opportunity to amass wealth and harm the people.

Later, Li Jing came here and eliminated these bad habits.

The reason he was able to do this was not because he was good at communication, but because Li Jing's fist was big enough.

Those troublesome dragon clansmen and river gods were killed one after another by him, and only then did Chentang Pass achieve peace.

Since Donghai hadn't come looking for him for a long time, he pretended not to know anything about it.

But how could the Dragon Palace of the East Sea not know about those bad habits that have persisted for so many years?
Today, the Dragon King of the East Sea has come knocking on our door. Needless to say, no matter what reason he has for coming, we must leave a "good impression" on this Dragon King.

"stop!"

Just as Li Jing's Demon God Fire Flying Kick was about to land on Ao Guang, a hurried shout came from afar.

Li Jing glanced over and saw a Taoist priest in a yellow robe, looking anxious and hurrying over, but he showed no sign of stopping.

"Be bold!"

When Huang Long saw that Li Jing was not listening to him, he was both anxious and angry. He took a step forward and appeared in front of Ao Guang.

"Uncle Jiu, you've arrived?!"

Ao Guang was overjoyed and almost burst into tears. This Uncle Jiu had come at just the right time, like parched seedlings receiving a timely rain.

With his ninth uncle here, the game is practically won.

"Li Jing, wait! A powerful figure has arrived, it seems to be... Huanglong Zhenren," Bi Fang hurriedly reminded him.

"We'll kick it the same way no matter who comes today."

Li Jing gritted his teeth, steeled his resolve, and disregarded everything else, unleashing a flying kick of the burning demonic fire towards the Taoist priest and Ao Guang.

Huang Long calmly waved his sleeve, creating a glowing magical shield that blocked the uncle and nephew.

Then Li Jing kicked the shield hard. The two collided, and a dazzling divine light erupted amidst a loud bang. The violent energy swept in all directions like flames.

"Uncle Jiu, I..."

Ao Guang, now in human form, clutched his chest, his face pale, his royal robes tattered, his face bruised and swollen, looking extremely miserable and disheveled.

"No need to say more, this human brat is indeed a bit strange, it's just a pity."

Huanglong turned back to look at Ao Guang and said confidently, "Meeting me is like a firefly to the moon..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Jing roared in a blinding light, and the crimson and white flames around his body burned even more intensely, transforming into a giant one-legged divine bird behind him.

Click!

The mana shield cracked like glass and spread like a spider web.

"Bifang... Oh no!"

Huang Long's expression changed drastically. He only had time to turn his head before the magic shield shattered, and a burning flying kick landed squarely on his body.

"I am Tai..."

Huang Long wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a gust of wind rushed into his mouth, silencing his words.

A violent, tsunami-like force surged from Li Jing's legs into his body like crashing waves, producing a crisp cracking sound.

Huanglong's facial features contorted as he staggered backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His body continued to retreat, carving a deep trench in the ground.

Finally, Li Jing landed with a somersault, while Huanglong was sent flying by that terrifying force, breaking through mountains and stopping the flow of water, before finally disappearing into the vast East China Sea.

Boom!
A deafening roar echoed in the distance, and towering waves surged across the East China Sea, with a massive mushroom cloud slowly rising from the sea.

Ao Guang: Σ(°△°|||)
Uncle Jiu, are you... alright?
Li Jing knelt on one knee, and the Bifang Flame Cloak covering his body disappeared, revealing him covered in sweat and panting heavily.

After calming down for a moment, he turned his head and glanced at Ao Guang.

Ao Guang immediately tensed up. That look made his scalp tingle, and the dragon scales on his body appeared and disappeared in an instant. He almost involuntarily revealed his true form.

He had already begged to be spared... Ao Guang was almost crying with fright. He stood there motionless. Not to mention that his son's Dao heart was ruined, he would soon be doomed too if he encountered such a monster.

Li Jing slowly stood up and stared at Ao Guang, saying, "I heard you have a sworn brother named Black Dragon King."

Ao Guang hesitated for a moment, then honestly replied, "Yes!"

Li Jing said, "His son caused havoc in the world, and I killed one of them."

Ao Guang hurriedly said, "Damn it!"

Li Jing continued, "Then his nine brothers came to seek revenge. On their way, torrential rains fell, flooding villages and large areas of farmland, killing more than a hundred people. I killed them too."

Ao Guang roared, "Well done!"

Li Jing turned to look at him: "Today, the Black Dragon King came to seek revenge, demanding that I return his son's life, but I killed him."

Ao Guangyi said indignantly, "This man is cruel and tyrannical. I have severed all ties with him, but this beast is too powerful for me to subdue. General Li, killing him is not only eliminating a scourge for the people, but also cleaning up the mess for my Donghai. Please accept my bow."

He then bowed deeply.

Li Jing took a breath and then said with a strange expression, "No, what I want to say is that your son happened to be there today. I mistakenly thought he was with the Black Dragon King, so I accidentally injured him. I feel quite guilty."

"what?"

Ao Guang was stunned. So you only said one sentence after all that time, that you were taking a breath.

This... makes him seem like a treacherous buffoon!
And you felt quite guilty, so you took advantage of him, the victim's father, and beat him to death?

Li Jing coughed lightly: "Just now, the Dragon King was blinded by anger and wouldn't listen to me. I could only use this method to calm him down and get him to listen to me. I hope the Dragon King won't be offended."

Ao Guang quickly waved his hand and said, "It's no fault of yours, General Li did the right thing. I did lose my temper just now, but as a parent myself, I'm sure General Li can understand my loss of composure."

He almost lost his life here, how could he dare to blame anyone?

Since the general has given him a way out, he should take it as soon as possible, so as not to lose face and have someone else make him look dignified.

Li Jing cupped his hands and said, "I understand, I understand. The Dragon King is indeed reasonable. I admire you. Your words just now are enough to show that the Dragon King is discerning, righteous, and upright. Please accept my bow."

He then bowed deeply.

Ao Guang was startled and said he dared not, and quickly helped Li Jing up.

At this moment, he was given a chance to escape from a desperate situation, and the way he bowed down and dignified him completely dispelled any resentment he had.

……

At this moment, on the East China Sea.

The explosion just now triggered a tsunami that stretched for thousands of meters, sweeping towards the coast.

Just then, a golden light arrived in an instant before the tsunami; it was the Jade Cauldron itself that had rushed over.

Looking at the seemingly endless tsunami, he immediately formed a hand seal and then waved his sleeve, shouting, "Disperse!"

With a thud, the incantation merged into the tsunami, and instantly the overwhelming tsunami wall, as if it had lost its support, crashed into the sea with a thunderous roar.

Yu Ding's eyes flashed and his figure moved, arriving in front of a figure floating in the sea, which was Huang Long.

At this moment, Huang Long's Taoist robe was blown to shreds, and a burn mark appeared on his chest. Almost all of his ribs were broken, but the life force of the powerful being was frantically repairing his injuries and trying to save him.

"How long are you going to lie here?"

"Yu Ding, you've arrived."

Yu Ding felt a little guilty and asked knowingly, "Who did it?"

Huang Long waved his hand weakly: "Don't mention it, it's so embarrassing, I can't face anyone."

Yu Ding was taken aback: "Didn't you mention that you're a friend of Master Taixu?"

He could immediately tell that the wound on Huanglong's chest was caused by the fire of Bifang. Although it wasn't fatal, Li Jing would probably give him face when he heard his name... right?
Huang Long stared blankly at the sky, clearly somewhat withdrawn.

He originally had the opportunity to speak, but at that time he was too arrogant and wanted to show off his abilities as an uncle in front of his nephew.

By the time he realizes something's wrong and tries to speak up, bam, the opportunity is gone.
