Thunder roared, dark clouds rolled. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
An Azure Dragon with twin wings coiled over the sea, waves surging, dragon whiskers fluttering in the wind, its presence majestic, confronting two distant figures with an invisible field fiercely colliding, neither yielding.
"Winged Dragon, no need to panic, heed my words first."
The Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation female cultivator stood atop the waves, her face exquisitely beautiful, untouched by the mundane dust, ethereal like an immortal.
She remained unmoved by the wild wind, her attire untouched, her hair unruffled, as steady as a mountain, her beautiful eyes consistently locked onto the Winged Dragon’s eyes, with a glow in her eyes harboring the power to stabilize the Divine Soul.
Behind her, the Early-Stage Divinity Transformation male cultivator stood with his hands folded, with a proud demeanor, continuously releasing his own pressure, attempting to intimidate the Winged Dragon.
The Winged Dragon formed a cautious posture, dragon claws tense, the female cultivator glanced backward and transmitted her voice secretly.
"Dongqiao, this time it’s agreed, I’ll handle it for Biyou Palace."
The female cultivator was Fairy Fuyu, Biyou Palace’s renowned Divinity Transformation True Venerable, and the person behind was True Venerable Dongqiao, Fulong Sect’s rising Divinity Transformation talent.
With True Venerable Tianyou having returned to the sect for rest, True Venerable Dongqiao was temporarily responsible for Fulong Sect’s affairs in the West Sea.
In the earlier battle, the Winged Dragon wielded Space Power, and Fuyu and Dongqiao immediately acted, tracing the source, exerting immense effort before finally cornering the Winged Dragon here.
This pursuit of the Winged Dragon, attempting negotiation, was something arranged by the Refining Void Star Monarchs of both Biyou Palace and Fulong Sect.
Because for the past decade, Fulong Sect’s aggressive pursuit not only failed to capture the Winged Dragon but also made the West Sea’s situation increasingly tense, it was time for a change in strategy.
Dongqiao snorted coldly, retrained his pressure, and Fuyu also withdrew her pressure entirely, causing the atmosphere between heaven and earth to relax momentarily, except for the thundercloud overhead, which remained unscattered.
Roar!!
Fuyu showed goodwill, but Ao Juan was not buying it, becoming even more guarded, attempting to use Space Restriction to escape the Array.
At this moment, a pearl the size of a fist appeared high in the sky, immediately suppressing Ao Juan’s gathered Space Power.
Ao Juan sensed a formidable Power of Laws, rendering its Space Restriction unable to be activated under this law.
Fuyu glanced at that pearl, the ’Immortal Fixing Pearl’ left by the Immortal Monarch when departing from Biyou Palace, usable only three times, Biyou Palace’s supreme treasure, brought out by her Master, Star Lord Bichen, for this negotiation with the Winged Dragon, feeling at a loss for Biyou Palace if persuasion failed.
Fuyu steadied herself, spoke softly, "Winged Dragon, I know you are wise, wiser than any dragons I’ve seen, so the current situation should be clear to you, continuing to fight is quite disadvantageous for the Dragon Clan."
Ao Juan’s eyes slightly narrowed, knowing this woman harbors ill intentions!
"I understand your desire to lead the Dragon Clan out of the Green Dragon Realm, but have you thought that outside areas are also Human Clan territories, wherever humans are, disputes arise, those people might not offer the Dragon Clan a peaceful place."
"Even if you have the capability to escape the entire Primordial Chaos Heaven into the Demon Realm or Demon Realm, these places with humans are not necessarily peaceful, within those realms, internal clan conflicts are constant, among the Divine Beast Clans, what significance does the Dragon Clan have?"
Ao Juan mimicked the look of the Little Immortal Ganoderma it had nurtured before, turning its dragon eyes up, revealing the whites, full of contempt.
Dongqiao stood behind, somewhat impatient, his fists clenched, breathing heavily.
Fuyu continued, "You can try to trust Biyou Palace, Biyou Palace disciples have accompanied Dragon Clan generations, we can coexist in the Green Dragon Realm, a realm most suitable for the Dragon Clan, as long as you are willing, Biyou Palace can assure your safety."
Ao Juan raised its eyes, looking towards Dongqiao.
Fuyu’s fingers tightened, knowing the only problem now is Fulong Sect, their Dragon Herding Method is excessively brutal, hard to change in a short time.
If not for Fulong Sect, Biyou Palace and the Dragon Clan could likely coexist.
"This is negotiable, as long as we cease fire, you can represent the Dragon Clan to propose terms, which we are all willing to consider."
Then, Fuyu released a horned Little Bai Dragon, coiling around her body, besides only having one horn, no wings, smaller in size, this Little Dragon was very similar to Ao Juan.
The Little Bai Dragon lowered its head, Fuyu’s lips curled into a smile, affectionately stroked the dragon’s nose.
"This is a Qiu Dragon, ranked sixth among the Ten Great Divine Dragons, with blood ties to the Winged Dragon clan, it grew up with me since childhood, you can ask it how Biyou Palace interacts with the Dragon Clan."
Woo~
Ao Juan let out a low hum, the Little Qiu Dragon also responded with a low hum, the two dragons exchanged for a full quarter of an hour.
The Little Qiu Dragon indeed had a deep affection for Fuyu, Fuyu treated it very well since childhood, once risking her life to save the Little Qiu Dragon.
The Little Qiu Dragon now reached Peak Nascent Soul Cultivation, if not for the West Sea battle, Fuyu would have already taken the Little Qiu Dragon into seclusion for Divinity Transformation, personally serving as its protector.
Under Ao Juan’s bloodline suppression, the Little Qiu Dragon couldn’t lie, even allowed Ao Juan to view its memories, the warm companionship, sharing life and death moments couldn’t be faked.
Seeing those, Ao Juan suddenly recalled the North Sea Dragon Palace in the Earth Spiritual Realm, when it nurtured the Little Immortal Ganoderma, though always coercing it with self-harm to collide with the Dragon Gate, eventually it helped it break through Dragon Gate, becoming a Winged Dragon successfully transforming.
The images of them together opposing the two cultivators of the Green Dragon Realm were vivid, the feeling of fighting side by side, mutually encouraging and assisting, Ao Juan highly cherished.
If treated as equal partners, respecting each other’s freedom, coexisting peacefully like Fuyu offered, perhaps it was possible.
The Dragon Clan doesn’t necessarily have to consume humans for survival, although Human Cultivators’ Golden Core and Nascent Soul indeed taste good, capable of rapidly improving cultivation, as a Winged Dragon, if restrained from harming others, other dragons will likely dare not hurt humans as well.
Ao Juan’s Dragon might slightly restrained, feeling somewhat swayed.
Fuyu looked forward with anticipation, her gaze never leaving Ao Juan, "You don’t need to rush, if you are willing to negotiate formally with Biyou Palace, setting a time and place, today we can let you go, as a gesture of goodwill."
As those words fell, Dongqiao behind her widened his eyes, transmitting a voice of anger, "Are you crazy! It’s been over ten years finally trapping it, now you just let it go? It’s certainly deceiving you!"
"Shut up! Today I am in charge here!" Fuyu transmitted her angry shout.
Dongqiao clenched his fist, his expression uncertain.
Ao Juan thought for a moment, raising its dragon head, indicating Fuyu to remove the ’Immortal Fixing Pearl’ from the sky, the Little Qiu Dragon also nodded, asking Fuyu to trust Ao Juan.
Fuyu hesitated, "Alright, I can remove the Immortal Fixing Pearl, but you must keep your promise, formally negotiate with Biyou Palace in a month’s time."
"During this period, the Dragon Clan shall not invade, our side shall not dispatch troops, and we’ll attempt to recall all Dragon Hunting Squads, withdrawing a thousand miles, we’ll meet at the coast, how about it?"
Roar!
Ao Juan nodded in agreement, Fuyu took a breath, exchanged a glance with the Little Qiu Dragon, then released a spell to retract the Immortal Fixing Pearl bit by bit.
At that moment, Dongqiao suddenly struck, a gust of wind shattered the Immortal Fixing Pearl, activating the ’Heaven and Earth Net Nails’ already set.
Tens of thousands of cold shimmering long nails appeared beneath Ao Juan, connecting with bright lines, connecting into a net, instantly rising to solidly trap Ao Juan within.
Roar!!
The net’s talismanic light shot electric currents, continually striking and scorching Ao Juan’s body, causing immense pain.
"Dongqiao!!"
Fuyu was furious, Dongqiao laughed triumphantly.
"Such a great opportunity today, how can it be wasted, once I’ve captured this Winged Dragon, Biyou Palace should thank me profusely!"
The Little Qiu Dragon was anxious, urging Fuyu to assist Ao Juan, but Fuyu hesitated for a moment.
Roar!!
Ao Juan was enraged, its scales glowed intensely, splitting the Heaven and Earth Net Nails apart, spreading its wings to soar into the sky, dragon head crashing into the Immortal Fixing Pearl.
Boom!
A powerful shockwave forcefully repelled Ao Juan, and the Immortal Fixing Pearl hovered motionlessly.
Ao Juan cast its gaze downwards, eyes filled with raging anger, radiating ripples all around it, like countless stones dropped into a calm lake.
Dragon roars echoed, one dragon after another emerged from Ao Juan’s surrounding ripples, instantly filling the sky, with formidable momentum.
Ao Juan hovered above all dragons, embodying a regal aura, dominating all directions.
Roar!!
Call the dragons to kill!
