Chapter 27 The Great Shang Conspiracy!
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals who followed were terrified when they saw this scene.
"Holy crap, the Third Prince has been killed! The Third Prince's tendons have been pulled out!"
"Run! Quickly return to the Dragon Palace and report the news!"
Hundreds of shrimp soldiers and crab generals abandoned their armor and fled into the water like madmen to escape.
Nezha held the dragon tendon and proudly gestured with it around his waist a couple of times.
"Hey, where's Uncle Yuan?"
"Hey, whatever. The size is perfect, it's a really good belt."
He clapped his hands, too lazy to care about the giant dragon corpse that was as big as a small mountain, hummed a little tune, and skipped and hopped towards Chentang Pass.
……
"call--"
Until Nezha's figure completely disappeared from sight.
Lin Yuan, perched atop the ancient tree, slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, thinking to himself.
"Innate spiritual treasures are really powerful. Luckily, that little devil didn't throw one at me before."
【Ding! 】
[Core critical node detected—Investiture of the Gods Event 009: Nezha's Havoc in the Sea, Slaying the Dragon.]
[The event has occurred. The host is in the core witness position. Witness completion rate: Perfect!]
[Congratulations, host! You have received the first reward for your dedication: Eight Hundred Years of Pure Daoist Cultivation!]
[Congratulations, host! You have received the second reward for witnessing this achievement: Golden Crow Bloodline Awakening +5% (Current total progress: 65%)!]
[Congratulations, host! You have received the third reward for your witnessing abilities: Special Physique Origin - Harmony of Water and Fire (The true fire within your body will no longer suffer from backlash; Yin and Yang will harmonize, and creation will arise spontaneously)!]
"Boom!"
The moment the system notification sound ended, a torrent of spiritual energy poured directly into Lin Yuan's crown chakra.
Eight hundred years of pure cultivation!
This is a profound foundation that can directly save countless days and nights of arduous cultivation.
The barrier of the Void Returning Realm within Lin Yuan's body was instantly swept away like paper in the face of this torrent.
The Great Perfection of the Returning to Emptiness Realm!
Half a step towards Dao Integration!
Moreover, with the integration of the [Water and Fire Harmony] constitution's essence.
The domineering Golden Crow True Fire within his body finally found a balance.
Faintly, deep within the heavens above, a trace of tribulation lightning began to brew.
The Tribulation to Become an Immortal!
"This is the threshold of the Dao Integration stage. My foundation is too deep, which is why I have attracted the tribulation of lightning."
Lin Yuan forcibly suppressed the boiling magical power within his body and concealed his aura, and the tribulation to become an immortal immediately dissipated.
His gaze fell upon the hundred-foot-long silver dragon corpse below.
The real wonders are yet to come!
"Whoosh—"
Lin Yuan transformed into a streak of light and landed beside the dragon's corpse.
"That spendthrift Nezha only took one of the dragon tendons, but discarded this precious dragon remains like trash."
"This is the purest bloodline of the East Sea royal family."
Lin Yuan stopped wasting words and swiftly formed hand seals.
"Great Grade Heavenly Demon Technique, swallow it!"
"boom!"
A terrifying vortex of devouring energy erupted from Lin Yuan's palm.
The hundred-foot-long dragon corpse shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Drops of silvery-glowing [True Dragon Essence Blood] were forcibly extracted and entered Lin Yuan's body.
Followed by.
"Click."
The dragon's head shattered.
A fist-sized blue bead, exuding the aura of a vast ocean, flew out.
[Water-type Dragon Pearl]!
Lin Yuan opened his mouth and swallowed the dragon pearl, which contained all of Ao Bing's cultivation, directly into his stomach.
"A sensation of both ice and fire... exhilarating!"
The Golden Crow True Fire and the True Dragon Qi perfectly merged within Lin Yuan's body.
"To destroy the evidence."
Lin Yuan flicked his finger, and a wisp of Golden Crow True Fire fell.
The withered dragon corpse instantly turned into ashes, leaving not a trace behind.
Having done all this, Lin Yuan flicked his sleeves and once again transformed into a Taoist priest in a black robe with an air of otherworldly elegance, strolling towards Chen Tang Pass.
……
the other side.
It is located ten miles outside the Jiuwan River.
Chu Tianhe, holding a broadsword, surveyed the three thousand armored soldiers with imposing presence.
"Everyone, pay attention! This is a task assigned by the immortal, and we must do it flawlessly!" Chu Tianhe shouted.
Just then.
"Splash..."
Suddenly, hundreds or even thousands of panicked aquatic heads appeared on the distant water.
It was those shrimp soldiers and crab generals who witnessed Ao Bing's murder and were so terrified that they were preparing to flee back to Dongguan to send a message.
As soon as these sea monsters surfaced and raised their eyes, they saw the elite Shang army, with its swords and spears arrayed on the shore.
Three thousand armored soldiers, their military bearing imposing and menacing.
The leading Yin Shang general was pointing his sword in their direction!
Chu Tianhe was startled when he saw so many monsters emerging from the water, but he immediately remembered the immortal's instructions to "seal off the surroundings and not allow anyone to approach" and realized what was happening.
This is a celestial being casting a spell inside, and these water monsters are coming to cause trouble!
"All troops, listen up! Archers, prepare!"
Chu Tianhe drew his broadsword and roared.
"The Immortal Master has ordered this area to be sealed off. Anyone who dares to cross the boundary will be killed without exception. Provide me with the opportunity to shoot!"
"Swish, swish, swish——"
A rain of arrows descended like dark clouds overhead.
Those shrimp soldiers and crab generals were already terrified of Nezha, and now they were subjected to the relentless barrage of arrows from the regular army of Yin Shang. They suffered heavy casualties and screams of agony.
The surviving sea monsters dived into the deep water, utterly terrified, and a horrible thought took shape in their minds.
"There's an ambush! The Shang army is lying in ambush on the shore!"
"This is a conspiracy. That killer star named Nezha is in cahoots with the official army of the Shang Dynasty."
"They deliberately provoked the Third Prince in order to ambush and kill the dragon clan in the Nine Bends River."
"Quickly, go back and report to the Dragon King! The Shang Dynasty has declared war on our sea tribe!"
……
Chentang Pass, General's Residence.
Li Jing was pacing back and forth in his study, looking restless.
Although the immortal Yuan Shang took Nezha for "special training," his right eyelid kept twitching uncontrollably.
"Bang!"
The study door was kicked open.
Nezha rushed in excitedly, carrying a long, crystal-clear silver rope in his hand.
"Old man, look what good stuff I brought back for you."
Nezha, as if seeking credit, threw the "long rope" onto Li Jing's table.
"This is a dragon tendon that I personally drew out. The material is very sturdy. I'll find a craftsman to make you a jade belt. It will definitely be impressive."
"Dragon...dragon tendons?!"
Li Jing was jolted, as if struck by lightning.
His eyes widened as he stared at the silver tendon on the table that still retained the aura of a true dragon, and his hands trembled.
"Whose tendons did you pull out?"
"A long, silver snake, supposedly named Ao Bing, the third prince of the East Sea Dragon King. He's not very capable, but he's got quite the big mouth." Nezha waved his hand dismissively.
"Thump."
Li Jing's vision went black, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.
It’s over.
It's all over!
He cultivated Taoism in Xikunlun in his early years and knew all too well the strength of the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas.
Although those old dragons are nothing in front of the great sage sect, it is only a matter of turning their hands to submerge a small Chentang Pass!
"You unfilial son...you've committed a terrible disaster!"
Li Jing wailed, "If you kill the third prince of the East Sea Dragon King, and if the old dragon Ao Guang is enraged, he will flood Chen Tang Pass, and millions of lives will be lost with you!"
Just when Li Jing was so desperate that he almost drew his sword and committed suicide to apologize to the Dragon Clan.
A clear, ethereal voice drifted in from outside the door.
"General Li, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. What kind of behavior is this, crying and wailing here?"
Lin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, stepped over the threshold, and was surrounded by a pure and ethereal light, like a god.
"Immortal Abyss!"
As if grasping at the last straw, Li Jing scrambled to Lin Yuan's feet.
"Immortal, save us! This rebellious son has killed the Dragon King's third son! Chen Tang Pass is in grave danger!"
Lin Yuan calmly walked to the main seat and sat down, casually picking up the teacup on the table and gently skimming off the foam.
"General Li, as I have said before, you are too attached to this mundane perspective."
Lin Yuan raised his eyes, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
"You think Nezha is just your son, Li Jing?"
"You think his three years and six months of fetal breathing were just a coincidence?"
Li Jing was stunned, forgetting even to wipe away his tears: "What do you mean by that, Immortal?"
Lin Yuan put down his teacup and casually revealed a shocking secret.
"Nezha is the reincarnation of Lingzhu, a disciple of the Goddess Nuwa, and is burdened with a destiny. His protector is Yuanshi Tianzun of the Jade Void Palace on Mount Kunlun, and his master, Taiyi Zhenren!"
"The Chan sect places great importance on protecting its own shortcomings."
"Since Master Taiyi dared to bestow the Universe Ring and the Chaos Ribbon upon him, could he not have foreseen this calamity that would befall him today?"
"The Dragon King of the East Sea? Heh."
"If Ao Guang dares to cause trouble, Master Taiyi will dare to pluck his dragon scales and tear out his dragon bones. Before the overwhelming karma of Kunlun Mountain, what are the dragon clans of the Four Seas?!"
boom!
Li Jing felt a roar in his mind, as if a divine thunderbolt had cleaved the chaos.
Reincarnation of Lingzhuzi? Destined by Heaven? Protecting the Chan Sect's own?!
These lofty mythical secrets actually happened to his son!
When Li Jing looked at Lin Yuan again, all that remained in his eyes was utter awe.
This immortal from the abyss actually knew everything about the layout of Kunlun Mountain and the schemes of the Chan Sect.
Such a precognitive demeanor and such a commanding presence over all living beings make him a truly extraordinary figure in the Jie Sect!
"This humble official is foolish and blind."
Overwhelmed with gratitude, Li Jing kowtowed three times to Lin Yuan.
"Thank you for your guidance, Immortal. If it weren't for your presence, I would have almost ruined everything."
Lin Yuan smiled slightly, concealing his merits and fame.
"It's alright, the great calamity has already begun. Chen Tang Pass will soon become incredibly lively."
