Honghuang: I am Qitian and I want to fight for the throne

Chapter 231 Shennong's Death and the Opportunity for Success

"Do you believe it yourself?"

The Taoist smiled meaningfully:

"The human race has the support of the saints and will surely become the protagonist of heaven and earth and the overlord of the prehistoric world in the future. You have offended Shennong, one of the three emperors of the human race. Do you think your father will protect you or the dragon race?"

"I didn't kill the person!"

Ao Si shouted angrily, with a sense of grievance in his tone.

"It's not important to argue whether you killed him or not!"

The Taoist waved his hand, but his expression clearly showed disbelief, but he did not argue any further:
“Your eldest brother has already admitted in front of the human leader that it was the dragon clan who did it. Even if someone else was used to replace you, it would not be hidden from the human clan.

Of course, you can also throw away your dignity and face and kneel down to beg for mercy from those lowly humans, or try to prove that you are wronged and beg for forgiveness from the humans. Otherwise, you know what the outcome will be."

After saying that, he looked at Ao Si teasingly.

Ao Si's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.

He is a noble dragon and would rather die than kneel down and beg for mercy.

As for swearing, he didn't know how to do it either, otherwise he would have sworn it in front of Ao Guang before.

His dignity would not allow him to bow his head.

Otherwise, it would be worse than death.

But as the Taoist said, if this were the case, his end would surely be miserable.

Although he disdained the human race, he knew that the Taoist was right. The human race had the support of the saints, and given his father's character, the chances of him being handed over were very high.

after all,

My father has too many sons and daughters.

And he's not the most likable one either.

It is obvious what the decision is to sacrifice him to save the entire dragon clan.

"Ao Guang!"

Ao Si gritted his teeth, a hint of hatred flashing in his eyes.

If Ao Guang wasn't a coward, if he wasn't talking nonsense, if he didn't not believe what he said and didn't believe that he was being wronged, then he wouldn't have fallen into such a difficult situation.

However, this Taoist in front of me said he wanted to save me?

Ao Si looked alert and said:
"Why did you save me for no reason? What's your purpose?"

"No reason! No purpose."

The Taoist shook his head, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "I am a good person, I just don't want someone as ambitious and dignified as you to die unjustly!"

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Ao Si's face was full of disdain and disbelief.

There are no good people in this world.

The Taoist didn't care about Ao Si's reaction and didn't explain.

With a wave of his hand, the light shield that trapped Ao Si suddenly dissipated.

However, a wisp of invisible force merged into Ao Si's body without him noticing.

After doing all this, the Taoist's body became blurry and he disappeared.

Only one sentence was left echoing in the secret room:
"If you want to survive, you have to stop the human race from becoming the protagonist of the world. If Shennong dies, the human race will lose its chance!"

"Huh~ You still say you have no purpose?"

Seeing the Taoist disappear, Ao Si snorted coldly, but his eyes seemed to be thoughtful:
"Shennong died? The opportunity disappeared? Stopping the human race from becoming the protagonist of the world?"

As he muttered to himself, Ao Si's eyes gradually became firm, and then turned ferocious and crazy the next moment:
"Shennong! Ao Guang! You all forced me to do this. And father, since you want to give up on me, don't blame me. Only I am worthy of the throne of Dragon King, hahahaha..."

Thirty-third heaven, Lingxiao Palace.

On the throne of the Emperor of Heaven, which represents the supreme authority of the Three Realms, Haotian sits upright.

Below, Ao Ping, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, bowed and said:

"I wonder what the Emperor of Heaven has summoned me for?"

Although his attitude was respectful, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.

He did not humble himself because of Haotian's identity.

Haotian didn't care about these and said slowly:

"I hope that your dragon clan can join the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court will grant you the title of Dragon King of the Four Seas and help me suppress the water veins in all directions!"

Ao Ping's eyes flickered slightly, and then he looked as if he didn't understand:
"Thank you for your kindness, Heavenly Emperor, but don't bother me. After the Longhan Calamity, my dragon clan has made a heavenly oath to suppress the four seas of the prehistoric world, and we have been doing so for so many years!"

Seeing Ao Ping pretending to be stupid, Haotian narrowed his eyes and didn't beat around the bush.

Let’s get straight to the point:

"What I want is for your dragon race to submit to Heaven and obey Heaven's orders."

The tone was no longer gentle, but full of arrogance and unquestionableness.

Ao Ping's face changed, and anger suddenly arose in his heart.

But he suppressed it forcefully. Although there were not many people in Heaven now, his dragon clan could not withstand the two quasi-saint masters, Haotian and Yaochi.

After all, although ancestor Zhulong is strong, he cannot leave the eye of the sea.

Moreover,
The Taoist ancestors are standing behind these two. If they really attack the dragon clan, even if the Zhulong ancestor comes out, he will not dare to touch them.

Even his dragon clan can’t afford to offend the Heavenly Court!
in fact,

Ao Ping was not unwilling to submit to the Heavenly Court. After all, he knew that since the Taoist Ancestor had appointed Haotian as the Lord of the Heavenly Court, he was in charge of the order of heaven and earth.

It is only a matter of time before the world is unified.

He was refusing now, firstly because Haotian's attitude was too tough and overbearing, and secondly because the benefits he offered were not enough.

He wanted to gain more benefits for the dragon clan.

Now, seeing Haotian open the door and come down, he no longer hid anything and bowed and said:
"Then I wonder what benefits our dragon race will gain if it submits to Heaven?"

Hearing this, Haotian sneered in his heart and said calmly:
"Your dragon clan only named the Four Seas Dragon King yourself, which is not legitimate. If your dragon clan joins the Heavenly Court, I will officially confer the title of the Four Seas Dragon King on you."

Ao Ping's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked hesitant: "This..."

Seeing Ao Ping like this,
There was a hint of coldness in Haotian's eyes. What a greedy person! He thinks the benefits are not enough.

but,

Now that the Heavenly Palace is empty, he really needs the help of the Dragon Clan. After a little thought, he made a decision.

"Under the four sea dragon kings, you four can appoint your own dragon kings, whose status is below yours. In addition, I will grant your dragon clan the power to manage the water veins of the world, and you can make clouds and rain according to the orders of the Heavenly Court."

As soon as this word comes out,
Yao Chi, who had been silent, suddenly changed his expression.

He said in a voice transmission: "Brother, isn't this too much? Millions of living beings cannot live without water. How much faith and merit would it take to hand over all the water veins in the world to the dragon clan? In the future, the dragon clan will be too powerful, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for my Heavenly Court to control it."

"Don't worry, Junior Sister. In governing the prehistoric world, Heaven will have merits every moment. Therefore, my Heaven may lack anything except merits!"

Haotian's face was calm, and his soul continued to transmit his voice:
"As for the difficulty in controlling them, there is no need to worry. With our current strength, plus the boundless luck and merits of the Lord of Heaven, we will only become stronger and stronger. No matter how strong his dragon race is, they must submit to my Heaven. Otherwise, what I can give them, I can also take back."

Listening to Haotian's confident words, Yao Chi thought about it and felt relieved.

The Heavenly Court really does not need to be afraid of the dragon clan.

So he stopped talking.

Ao Ping below was immediately moved when he heard what Haotian said.

The Heaven Court represents the will of Heaven. If the Heaven Court appoints them to control the water veins of the world and control the clouds and rain, it will be of great benefit.

"During the Longhan Calamity, our dragon race was rejected by the Heavenly Dao and was entangled with karma. If we can be canonized by the Heavenly Court, we can gain endless merits. In this way, we can offset the karma. At that time, our dragon race will no longer be suppressed in their cultivation, and the restoration of their former glory is just around the corner."

Thinking of this,
Ao Ping's breathing became rapid.

I refused before because the benefits Haotian gave me were not enough.

Now people have directly brought benefits to the dragon clan's weak spot, solving the karmic troubles that have plagued the dragon clan for countless years.

It would be really stupid to refuse again.

"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation. My dragon clan is willing to be canonized by Your Majesty and join the Heavenly Court."

"it is good!"

Seeing that Ao Ping did not push his luck further, Haotian smiled. His Heavenly Court was really outnumbered right now!
Now with the addition of the dragon clan, it feels a lot more fulfilling.

Subsequently,

Haotian officially appointed Ao Ping and the future Ao Qin, Ao Run and Ao Shun as the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, in charge of the prehistoric dragon clan, managing the world's water veins, and controlling the clouds and rain according to the orders of the Heavenly Court.

Ao Ping also gladly accepted the order.

but,

Just when Ao Ping was feeling happy and looking forward to the glorious future of the dragon clan, a message from the luck within the dragon ball in his body suddenly entered his soul.

Ao Ping's face suddenly changed drastically, and he roared, "Asshole!"

"Ok?"

Haotian, who was sitting on the imperial throne, frowned and suddenly looked at Ao Ping with murderous intent in his eyes.

I just became his subordinate, and I actually scolded him? Are you looking for death?
Ao Ping felt Haotian's murderous intent and was startled. He immediately realized that he had misunderstood and quickly bowed to explain:

"Your Majesty, I am not talking about you. I just received a message that my son has offended someone he shouldn't have offended, and brought disaster to the Dragon Clan. That's why I was so impolite in a hurry. I was scolding my son!"

"Oh~"

After hearing Ao Ping's explanation, Haotian suddenly understood and his murderous intent disappeared.

It turned out to be a misunderstanding!
However, looking at Ao Ping's anxious and panicked expression, Haotian asked curiously:
"What disaster has caused you to panic? Now that your dragon clan has joined my heavenly court, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me directly and I will make the decision for you."

Haotian wanted to take this opportunity to show off his majesty and grace.

Hearing this, Ao Ping's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, his dragon clan is now a minister of the Heavenly Court, and the Lord of the Heavenly Court has the support of Daozu behind him. Then the human race that Ao Guang just mentioned, which is backed by the saint, will definitely give face to Haotian.

When,

Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope for his evil son who has caused trouble.

Thinking of this,
Ao Ping immediately bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, it was my son Ao Si who provoked the human race, causing the human army to invade the East China Sea and go to war with my dragon race. I ask your majesty to help mediate, and my dragon race will apologize to the human race!"

"Human race?"

Haotian and Yaochi's expressions changed slightly.

They don't want to offend the future protagonist of the world.

After all, he will be in charge of the order of the prehistoric world in the future. If the protagonist of the world does not cooperate, it will be difficult for him in the Heavenly Court to do his job.

but,

The dragon clan has just joined the Heavenly Court, and what has just been said will make people feel disheartened no matter what.

"Tell me the details first!"

Haotian still decided to help, but he had to find out what the grudge was first.

After all, a large army is approaching, so the trouble may not be small.

You have to make some preparations yourself.

"this."

Ao Ping's eyes flickered, and he hesitated for a moment before finally gritting his teeth and saying, "My son killed the daughter of Shennong, the leader of the human race!"

"what?"

Haotian and Yaochi’s eyes suddenly widened, their faces filled with shock.

Especially Haotian, his face turned a little dark, and he regretted asking that question just now.

This is a blood feud for killing a son!

How to mediate?
He's not that high-profile yet!

Seeing Haotian's face change drastically and he obviously didn't want to intervene, Ao Ping's face was also full of bitterness. He knew it would be like this.

The trouble caused by that evil boy was really huge.

But he is his son after all, he can't just ignore him, especially now that there is hope.

Therefore,
Ao Ping knelt on his knees and begged:

"Your Majesty, please have mercy on me and save my son. As long as you can save my son's life, I will be grateful to you and will not hesitate to sacrifice my life! Even if your Majesty wants me to die, I will not hesitate!"

At the end of his speech, Ao Ping's voice began to tremble slightly.

Haotian was shocked to see Ao Ping actually kneeling on the ground.

For the sake of his son, Ao Ping even put aside the dignity and pride of the dragon clan. Even when he was conferring the title just now, Ao Ping merely bowed.

Moreover, Ao Ping was willing to sacrifice his own life for his son.

What a love one has for one’s child!
However, he couldn't let Ao Ping, who had just joined his team, die!

Otherwise it would be all in vain.

Haotian was a little overwhelmed. This was really giving him a lot of problems.

After pondering for a while, Haotian seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up slightly: "Kill for life. Your dragon race does not want to go to war with the human race. It is impossible to spare Ao Si's life. Shennong will definitely not agree. However, I can send someone to mediate and ensure that his soul is immortal and can be reincarnated!"

"This"

Ao Ping's face was full of reluctance. But after thinking about it, he realized that if he didn't want to fight, saving his son's life was not realistic.

Haotian has done his best by being willing to save his son's soul.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am grateful."

Ao Ping thanked him.

Haotian nodded, raised his hand and made a virtual grab. With a fluctuation of space, a thin monk in a black robe appeared in the Lingxiao Palace.

The thin monk was startled at first, then bowed and said:
"Your servant Shen Gongbao pays respects to the Emperor of Heaven and the Empress!"

At the same time, there were doubts in my mind.

This is the first time Haotian has looked for him alone since joining the Heavenly Court.

I don’t know what it is?

He muttered to himself and glanced at Ao Ping curiously.

"Dragon clan?"

"This is Ao Ping, the Dragon King of the East China Sea who has just joined my Heavenly Court!"

Haotian introduced it, and then continued: "The human race and the dragon race have a dispute, and a war is about to break out. You go and help mediate. Ao Ping will tell you the details. I just want you to save Ao Si's soul and stop the war between the two sides!"

"what?"

Shen Gongbao's face suddenly turned pale with shock. Asking him to stop the war between the two tribes, isn't that asking him to die?
"Your Majesty, I have just been promoted to Taiyi Jinxian. I am completely unable to stop this war between the two races! I will miss out on important matters. Your Majesty, please seek help from someone else!"

Seeing that Shen Gongbao was unwilling, Haotian was not angry.

He also knew that although the disciples from Mount Huaguo sent by Qi Tian had made a lot of progress in their cultivation, they were basically Taiyi Golden Immortals or at the peak of Golden Immortals.

Trying to stop the war between humans and dragons is like trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm.

but,

He sent Shen Gongbao without intending to rely on his strength.

"I know, don't worry, I'm not asking you to stop it by force. Your senior brother Jiang Zi is now the teacher of the Emperor of Earth, you can go and ask him for help to mediate."

Hearing this,

Shen Gongbao's expression relaxed, he thought for a moment, then bowed and said:

"Then I will give it a try, but I cannot guarantee whether it will work!"

"Don't worry! I have my own plan."

Haotian smiled slightly, waved his hand and threw a jade slip to Shen Gongbao:
"Just give this jade slip to your senior brother and ask him to pass it on to Shennong."

"I accept your order!"

Shen Gongbao felt relieved. It was just delivering a message, there was no danger in it.

After taking the jade slip, Shen Gongbao bowed and said goodbye, and went to the lower world with the anxious Ao Ping.

the other side,
Sun Yuan, Kong Xuan and others who had left the Jiuli tribe were speeding towards the East China Sea.

But just when they were halfway through the flight, an invisible force suddenly descended from the sky and directly enveloped several people.

Several people's faces suddenly changed.

"Boom~"

Sun Yuan and Kong Xuan, who were at the quasi-saint level, actually exploded all over their bodies instantly.

The top-grade spiritual treasure, the Ancestral Dragon Pearl, instantly turned into a light curtain to protect the few people.

At the same time he roared:
"Who is it? Who dares to attack my Flower-Fruit Mountain?"

however,
The surroundings were extremely quiet, without any response.

What shocked the two was that when the magic power and laws they burst out encountered the invisible force, they were directly melted away like snow meeting the sun.

Then,

The invisible force directly penetrated the light curtain formed by the Ancestral Dragon Pearl and fell on them.

Several people's eyes went dark and they lost consciousness in an instant.

Floating quietly in the air.

"Just lie down for a while, you guys can't ruin our good fortune!"

A faint and ethereal Taoist voice dissipated with the wind.

Above the East China Sea.

Shennong was leading an army of one million humans, waiting for Ao Guang to capture the murderer.

suddenly,

Cang Jie's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted:
"Be careful, the dragons are coming! Prepare for battle!"

"what?"
