Chapter 392: The Phoenix Borrowing Troops, Borrowing Without Returning

    Dan Chanyu asked, "Does the Dragon King think that Zǔ Long can represent the Dragon race? If Zǔ Long agrees with me and says that the treasure is in the treasure house of the Crystal Palace, but when I go there, the Dragon King says there is none, won't I have run in vain?"

    Ao Guang was so angry that his beard stood on end: "Our dragon race is different from you phoenixes! The meaning of the Zǔ Long is the same as the will of the entire dragon race, and we will fulfill it without any reservations. As long as you obtain the permission of the Zǔ Long, no matter where that cursed Dìnghǎi pearl is, we will send it to you!"

    Dan Chanyu refutes, "Not necessarily. You say that the meaning of the Zǔ Long is equivalent to the meaning of the dragon race? Is it an equal relationship? If you reverse this statement, the meaning of the dragon race is the same as that of Zǔ Long. If the Four Sea Dragon Kings gather together and come up with a plan to ask the Zǔ Long to cause trouble at Qínlín Cliff, will the old Zǔ Long really go?"

    This has nothing to do with the Qínlín clan. If we want to cause trouble, it will be at your Phoenix race's undying volcano! Smash all your bird eggs and kill you!

    Ao Guang's heart was filled with anger, and his fury was almost uncontrollable. He gestured forcefully, "Do not confuse my words. What I mean is that the dragon race reveres the Zǔ Long as our clan's supreme being, just like the head of the human race. We are merely the limbs, and as long as the supreme being, this head, gives an order, we will satisfy any demand without question."

    Dan Chanyu continued to shake his head: "Still not right. The dragon race and Zǔ Long are not one. Zǔ Long sacrificed himself for you, went to fill the sea eye, and left you, the dragon sons and grandsons, to enjoy yourself in the Crystal Palace. Is this a reward for head and limbs? Dragon King has seen a lot, but have you ever seen a miracle where an enemy's sword was cut towards you, without using your limbs to defend yourself but instead using your head to endure it directly?"

    Ao Guang: "?????"

    He was stunned for a moment, and at first it seemed like there was a problem. However, after careful consideration, he felt like there was a mess.

    He thought carefully.

    He felt that trying to fill the sea eye in this way would be futile; in the blink of an eye, he would turn into ashes. Even if he filled it a thousand or ten thousand times, he wouldn't be able to last very long.

    Zǔ Long sacrificed himself for them, and they, the dragon sons and grandsons, were enjoying themselves, which seemed like a very unbecoming treatment for a leader and an ancestor. However, it was Zǔ Long's own will.

    He was tangled up by Dan Chanyu's rambling and temporarily stunned, speechless with what he wanted to say.

    Fight? Afraid to fight.

    Say? Can't say.

    The constriction had his eyes red, and the great man behind him did not continue to harass him. Ao Guang had worked hard for years to maintain the overall situation of the dragon race. It's not easy!

    A young dragon from the race, dressed in a dark blue robe, stepped into the Crystal Palace.

    Numerous aquatic races, including Ao Guang, prostrated themselves on the ground in unison.

    Dan Chanyu had never seen the other party before, but she knew the identity of this young Daoist: "I am Dan Chanyu from the Nv Gong Palace. I greet Zhong Chang Shen Jun."

    The Azure Dragon, Meng Zhang; the White Tiger, Jianbing; the Vermilion Bird, Lingguang; and the Black Tortoise, Zhiming, are the four deities who have submitted to the Xuanmen.

    The Vermilion Bird, Lingguang, and the Phoenix are both direct descendants of the Azure Phoenix. They belong to the same generation, but considering that Dan Chanyu does not equal the Phoenix, she respects Meng Zhang as a senior. Meng Zhang's credentials can be referred to as Yan Deng, which is not far from sages. So her respectful greeting as a junior is nothing wrong.

    Meng Zhang came in only in his incarnation, first signaling the numerous aquatic races in the Dragon Palace to show respect, and then indicating to Dan Chanyu: "Please accompany me, Dao friend."

    Dan Chanyu followed him as they walked through the Dragon Palace.

    Meng Zhang opened his mouth and said bluntly: "The old Zǔ Long asked me to tell you that he once saw the twelve Dìnghǎi pearls you want after opening heaven and earth. At that time, the treasure was on a mountain called Dài Yú. Afterwards, the intensity of the battles among three races increased, and a large number of dragon corpses and phoenix bones fell into the East Sea. Their resentment lingered for a long time. The old Zǔ Long opened four sea eyes in all four seas to release boundless resentment."

    After that, the era of the three races came to an end, and the Taoist Ancestor began teaching in the Zǐxiāo Palace. He designated the Eastern Divine King as the leader of all male immortals in the world and ordered the Western Divine Queen to be the leader of all female immortals. The Eastern Divine King established a practice ground on Fanghu Mountain in the East Sea, recruiting immortals from all over the world. However, he was killed by Di Jun, and Fanghu Mountain was also destroyed. As a great power in the Primordial Era, his fall led to a bottomless valley appearing at the bottom of the East Sea. The seawater from all four directions surged towards it, dragging mountains such as Dài Yú Mountain, Yuánqiáo Mountain, and Yíngzhōu Mountain into that underwater valley with immense suction.

    The Zǔ Long calmed the waves beneath the sea, but he was also helpless against that underwater valley. Now known as the "Gui Xu," that's where the Dìnghǎi pearls you are looking for must be."

    Meng Zhang had no intention to hide anything, and recounted everything that the Zǔ Long had told him.

    Dan Chanyu pondered for a moment, which explained why no one had found those twelve Dìnghǎi pearls in the Primordial Era. They fell into a pit?

    The situation was even more complicated than she had imagined. She had once encountered the Dragonbert people, and if the rumors were true, the real Dragonbert Kingdom would have fallen into Gui Xu as well. That was a giant with a height of thirty zhang, and a country must have at least several hundred people. With such groups of giants in Gui Xu, they would probably not be at the top of the food chain.

    The Gui Xu is indeed very dangerous.

    Should we go? The Great Vow has been fulfilled, Hong Jun has intervened, and we must go.

    However, she was not going. Her water travel art was really loose, and the endurance of the Nu Huang Dao body was also short. It would still be better to let Shuide Zhenjun go.

    She bowed and made a gesture of respect: "Thank you, immortal, for your notification. Please convey my deep respect for Zǔ Long the elder."

    Meng Zhang casually said, "That old guy wouldn't appreciate your admiration. I told Ao Guang that if there's any need for help on the journey to Gui Xu, you can find me."

    After Meng Zhang left, Dan Chanyu prepared to go to the Heavens. Shuide Zhenjun was going to fight, so there would be some procedures to go through.

    Before leaving, she looked at Ao Guang.

    "Old Dragon King."

    "Hmph!"

    "Hey, I have a friend..." Dan Chanyu's excuse got smoother with each repetition. She had said it a thousand times, and she was almost starting to believe it herself.

    "Just now, Meng Zhang Shen Jun also said that the Gui Xu is incredibly dangerous. My friend is alone, with only two little soldiers by his side. If he falls into the Gui Xu, he might not come back alive."

    Ao Guang sneered coldly, wishing that your friend would die there.

    But just now, Meng Zhang reminded him that the matter Dan Chanyu is handling now is very serious, and he must never go against her. He should help her if he can, as that was the direct words of Zǔ Long.

    Ao Guang's expression was complicated: "What does your friend want to do? Can our Dragon Palace lend her a weapon?"

    Dan Chanyu smiled: "My friend isn't borrowing a weapon, but rather wanting to borrow troops."

    "How many?"

    "Ten thousand."

    Ao Guang widened his eyes! Are you speaking human language? Just by opening your mouth, you want ten thousand troops? If you break and sell my Crystal Palace, can you even raise ten thousand troops?

    He shook his head like a maraca: "No, no, absolutely not!"
