Chapter 3728: Furious
ver more about the secrets of pre-Qin times than you could glean through your own private inquiries. 。"Master Ziqing continued, speaking to himself, “The reason I came personally to Xiangdu this time...At this time, the master of Rongxu Cave, who rarely had such a relaxed expression, led Lu Xiaitian, Mu Xia and others back. Although it took some time, the trip was considered a complete success in terms of merit. As for whether they could successfully refine the Jinque Ghost God Pill later, it wasn't his concern. After all, the master of Rongxu Cave was not a Dan Saint, and he didn't need to worry about alchemy matters.
Fan Xianzhou and several other celestial immortals, along with the thousands of immortal soldiers accompanying them, were naturally even more excited. Although the accompanying immortal soldiers had no opportunity to fight along the way, what they had seen and heard, and the experiences they had during their journey to the East China Sea, were enough to brag about to their former colleagues for a long time.
In order to reach Jiuyang City as quickly as possible, the Lord of Rongxu Cave directly led Lu Xia Tian, Mu Xia, and Nie Tianhou forward, letting Fan Xianzhou's army of immortals travel on their own.
The head of Rongxu Cave, Fan Xianzhou and his party were in high spirits, but the Jade Xuan Heavenly Court was shrouded in gloom.
“What You let that Eastern brat live out of the Dragon Tomb Didn't you say you sent a large force, and this mission was highly likely to succeed Now tell me what happened!” Although Xuanhu Venerable’s tiger face appeared extremely calm, his fierce eyes revealed his inner rage. In order to control the situation and issue new orders at any time, he had personally arrived at the South Sea Dragon Palace since Lu Xia Tian left Yu Xuan Heaven Court.
And under the order of Venerable Xuanhu, King Nanhai should have provided only a few escorts for Lu Xiaoteng to enter the Dragon Tomb. He sent out several times as many men as there were on the other side, and logically, there shouldn't have been any loss. But it was in this situation that something unexpected happened. Facing Venerable Xuanhu's question now, King Nanhai should also had a bitter face. Among the small teams he sent out, there were his direct descendants and grandchildren, but so far none of them have returned. Most likely, they have met with misfortune.
At this time, he was unaware of the situation in the East Sea Dragon Tomb. Even with reinforcements arriving and a large number of sea monsters engaging the enemy, the border area was a scene of bloodshed. The seawater had been stained crimson.
Although the East Sea Dragon Palace's strength was slightly inferior, it wasn't a pushover. Moreover, with over ten Heavenly Immortal-level dragon clans and affiliated species with dragon bloodlines joining the East Sea Dragon Palace this time, it was a heavy loss for the South Sea Dragon Palace. Growing a Heavenly Immortal-level dragon clan requires a massive amount of resources and sufficient time to accumulate. It's simply impossible to make up for the loss in a short period.
Venerable Xuanhu walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, his eyes flashing with ferocity from time to time. On the side, Nanhai Dragon King Yingzhong also remained silent. Although Venerable Xuanhu's status was above him, he was after all a master of the sea, commanding countless demon soldiers under his command. Therefore, he had to show some courtesy to the other party. However, in the situation where he had just lost his children, Venerable Xuanhu blamed him like this, which was a bit too much.

"Now that we're passing through the Dragon Tombs of the South China Sea, could we possibly reconnect with the East China Sea again" Xuanhu Venerable paced back and forth for a while before suddenly stopping, his voice heavy.
“Sending a small team over is possible, but Ying Lin and the others haven't sent back any news. It's inconvenient to send people over again at this time. If we lose too many celestial dragon clansmen, we may be unable to contend with the East China Sea Dragon Palace in the future.” Ying Zhong’s voice was low, but his attitude was firm. Even if the other party was the Xuanhu Venerable, before receiving a direct order from the Jade Heaven Court, Ying Zhong was not prepared to let his celestial sea monster clansmen, descendants of his sons and daughters, be sent to their deaths easily. At least until he understood the situation, Ying Zhong needed to proceed cautiously.
"Is that so" Xuan Hu Zun's sharp eyes swept towards Ying Zhong. Ying Zhong remained calm and collected, showing no sign of backing down.
“It seems the Dragon King of the South China Sea did not take me seriously.” Xuan Hu Zun smiled ominously.
“At the moment, the South China Sea Dragon Palace and the East China Sea Dragon Palace are at war. The loss of a batch of Heavenly Immortal-level experts before has affected the course of the war. If we continue to dispatch troops, it is possible that we will suffer defeat in a direct confrontation. Wouldn't this further damage the celestial court's face I am not against fighting the East China Sea Dragon Palace, but I don't want any more senseless casualties. I hope Daoist Xuanhu understands.”
Under the coercion of Venerable Xuanhu, Ying Zhong suppressed the anger in his heart. For Jade Void Celestial Court's plan this time, he sent several direct descendants and his nephew Ying Lin, none of whom returned. Despite the pain of losing his kin, Venerable Xuanhu didn't show any remorse. Ying Zhong would never sacrifice his own bloodline to death because of the pressure brought by Venerable Xuanhu.
“Enough, it seems that the young man from the East had a bit of luck. Now that the Heavenly Court of Honghuang is mobilizing troops to encircle the demonic army within Luo'ang Prison, that Shelu Heart Demon is known for its treacherous nature and fondness for scheming against others. It's possible that other Golden Immortals of the Heavenly Court of Honghuang will be corrupted by the Shelu Devil Qi in the future, and they might come to the East Sea Dragon Palace's Dragon Tomb to seek what they need. This time, we were defeated due to insufficient preparation. In the future, the Dragon King should put in more effort so as to avoid further pain.”
After several changes in his expression, Xuan Hu Venerable did not press further. It was not that he feared Ying Zhonglong King's might, but rather that the other party had spoken with reason. Xuan Hu Venerable had personally sat in Xingyun City and then to the South China Sea Dragon Palace, suffering losses several times because of a junior who wasn't even a celestial fairy. He was indeed annoyed by this, but it was not a loss of reason.
“Matters here have been resolved. As for the war with the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, the Dragon King will handle it himself. I have other matters to attend to, so I shall take my leave.” Xuan Hu Zun said with a wave of his hand. “The junior disciple is incompetent. It seems that I must take action myself.”

“Fellow Daoist Xuanhu is going to personally pursue that Eastern brat and his party” Even though he was the esteemed Dragon King of the East Sea, when he heard Xuanhu’s words, he was startled. Although this time in the South China Sea, the East Sea Dragon Palace had made a big fuss, the conflict between the two sides ultimately remained below the level of Jinxian-class powerhouses. Even though the loss of some celestial dragons was indeed regrettable, it hadn't shaken the very foundation of Yu Xuan Heaven Court. The situation looked quite large on the surface, and if they wanted to wrap things up, they could pull back at any time.”
But once Xuanhu Venerable makes a move, things become completely different. Xuanhu Venerable is already a figure not far from a Fairy Monarch. If they really fight, it's very likely to cause a full-scale war in the Jade Xuan Heavenly Court.

In contrast, the current conflict in the East China Sea and the South China Sea Dragon Palaces is just a small skirmish.
“I wouldn't be so foolish. Earlier in Xingyun City, Rong Xu, the master of the Void Cave, said some spiteful words, mentioning that after the competition with Dongfang Xia'er, I could spar with him. Now that the other party has finished everything, he probably won't have any excuse to decline. Last time in Xingyun City, it was inconvenient to take action. This time, I just want to see his skills. Without moving my hands a little, I wouldn't be able to vent this anger in my belly.” As Xuan Hu Zun’s words fell, he had already disappeared from Ying Zhong’s sight.
