Dragon Lord: Starting from the daily settlement

"boom!"

On a rainy night, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and thunder began to rumble. It was already the evening of the second day.

Within the territory of Yun Kingdom, in a wide river, Zhou Yan lay in wait, sensing the surrounding water veins, and couldn't help but frown.

This great river, though its waters may surge during the flood season, is inexplicably turbulent now, even though it is not the flood season.

Moreover, the frequency of his agitation was much higher than before, which made him feel vaguely uneasy.

After a moment's thought, he simply brought out the Six Harmonies Water Diagram.

Inside the water map, six black flags stood silently. With a flick of Zhou Yan's finger, one of the black flags flew out of the water map, transforming into a black banner that was one and a half feet long, and landed in Zhou Yan's hand.

Holding the Six Harmonies Water Flag in his hand, he immediately felt that his control over the surrounding water elements had improved slightly.

After carefully sensing it, he moved his hand, and the Six Harmonies Water Flag in his hand glowed with a mysterious light, falling straight into the bottom of the river and disappearing immediately.

Seeing the Six Harmonies Water Flag disappear, he turned and headed towards the Water Mansion.

…………

"Beep beep beep~"

Changmingze, raindrops fall into the marsh, splashing up large ripples.

"boom!"

A bolt of lightning ripped through the sky, illuminating Changmingze and a figure not far away.

The figure wore a brown robe, had messy hair, and narrow eyes.

Standing on the surface of the marsh, he shook his head, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, and murmured to the sky.

"Thanks to the ancestor for blessing me with this precious land. If I, Batu, succeed in my cultivation in the future, I will surely restore the Ba Kingdom."

He then bowed three more times to the sky before lowering his hands, turning his body, and diving into the water.

Underwater, patches of aquatic plants sway with the waves, corals form forests, and aquatic creatures of all sizes swim around, creating a vibrant scene.

Feeling the power of the water element here, Batu's eyes revealed a hint of satisfaction.

"Although this place is not suitable for long-term cultivation, it is more than enough to heal my injuries. It's just a pity that those precious lands have all been occupied."

As Batu swam towards the Water Palace, he opened his mouth.

In an instant, the aquatic plants, mud, and corals at the bottom of the water, along with the aquatic creatures around him, all went into his stomach.

He closed his mouth to digest it, and after a few breaths, he opened his mouth again and continued to devour everything in front of him.

Inside the underwater palace, Xuan Yi was holed up among a coral, increasing his cultivation.

Suddenly, several water monkeys ran over, and upon seeing Xuan Yi, they said breathlessly.

"Prime Minister Turtle, something terrible has happened! A monster has come outside and eaten all the coral and seaweed..."

His tone was full of anxiety.

"A monster? What monster?" Xuan Yi immediately became alert.

Since the king killed the four demons, the entire Changming Marsh has been under the jurisdiction of the Water Palace, and even some foreign demons have to behave themselves.

Acting in this way is not a good thing.

"Take me to see it." Xuan Yi manifested in human form and said with a solemn expression. Now that the King was not here, he had to protect the Water Palace for the King.

"Yes, yes, Prime Minister Turtle, come with us." Several water monkeys hurriedly hopped and skipped outside, and Xuan Yi quickly followed.

"It's a huge snake, so long, dozens of meters long." As they walked, the water monkey gestured, his eyes filled with fear.

"Its body is covered in black scales, but its head is blue. How scary!"

The more Xuan Yi listened, the heavier his heart became. For most demons, size was a symbol of strength. According to them, this demon's strength was probably far greater than his own.

But on the surface, he remained calm and composed.

"It's alright, we have the King."

At the same time, taking a wisp of divine soul from Zhou Yan's hand, he quickly transmitted the situation of the Water Mansion.

Upon exiting the water palace, Xuan Yi looked closely and saw a giant snake, about twenty feet long, with a black body and a green head, opening its mouth to devour everything around it.

In the blink of an eye, a coral forest covering a mile in front of the Water Palace disappeared, disappearing into his mouth and leaving only a deep pit in its place.

"So, you little turtle, you're the master of this underwater palace?"

After swallowing the coral forest, Batu twisted his body, sensing Xuan Yi's aura, a look of disappointment appearing in his eyes.

I was hoping to encounter a few Foundation Establishment demons to devour and heal my injuries, but it turned out to be a Qi Refining turtle.

A wave of pressure swept over him, and Xuan Yi immediately felt his body stiffen. The little demons around him were all prostrate on the ground, trembling and not daring to move.

Forcing himself to stand up, Xuan Yi spoke tremblingly.

"Sir, the Water Palace is the residence of our King. The little turtle is merely managing it on his behalf. May I ask if you have any business in mind when you come to Changmingze?"

"Your king?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi immediately became curious. He raised his head, looked around, and then looked at the other person with a thoughtful expression.

Although this place is not very suitable for a Purple Mansion, it is a treasure land for a Foundation Establishment demon. It is just unknown what level of cultivation the master of this Water Mansion possesses.

Forget it, I'll just eat it all.

Batu raised his head and looked down at the large group of aquatic creatures. He was about to open his mouth.

Suddenly, a black net emerged from the water and began to cover him.

What is that?

Batu was startled instantly, shut his mouth, twisted his thick body, and flicked his tail, striking straight at the black net.

But to his surprise, this blow, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, failed to break the black net. Instead, the black net wrapped around his tail and gradually spread towards his body.

"Where did this cowardly coward come from? Why don't you confront him head-on?"

Batu instantly became alert, shouted to his surroundings, and then bit down on the black net.

"Your Majesty!"

At this moment, a figure ten feet tall slowly appeared above the water mansion; it was Zhou Yan. Upon seeing Zhou Yan, Xuan Yi was overjoyed and immediately bowed deeply in gratitude.

"You may all leave now."

Releasing his aura to neutralize the pressure emanating from the numerous aquatic creatures, Zhou Yan spoke calmly, then frowned and looked at Batu not far away.

At this moment, a black net of heavy water was attached to his body. When he bit it off, a gap appeared. Moreover, as he swallowed it, the heavy water lost its connection.

With a thought, the remaining heavy water on Batu's body rose up and slowly condensed around Zhou Yan.

"What kind of demon are you, and what business do you have here?"

Looking at Batu, Zhou Yan said coldly.

"Are you the owner of this water palace?"

With the feeling of being restrained gone, Batu breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Zhou Yan with apprehension.

Judging from its appearance, this demon is probably a troublesome fellow. I'm injured right now, and continuing to fight it would be a losing proposition.

Let's retreat first.

In the blink of an eye, Batu began to consider leaving.
