Chapter 4017: Regret

lengths on their backs flew across the void. With a tremor of their wings, they scattered countless purple-green seeds. These seeds germinated rapidly, growing into patches of purple-green vines at an...Lu Xia Tian pondered over the numerous cultivators, feeling a profound connection to their experiences.

When Lu Xia Tian was hiding in the Deep Sea Thunder Spring, the blood tide caused by the Bloodline Demon Worm had already formed a huge disaster throughout the Dragon Palace waters and the Mirage Ant King's territory.

Especially the Dragon Palace Sea Region, at this time the South China Sea Dragon King should be furious. Last time in the battle with the East China Sea Dragon Palace, he did not expect to be severely injured. He also did not expect that Ying Heng and Ying Zhang, who had always been submissive and obedient to him, would dare to scheme against him, the Dragon King, and even seriously injure Ying Xuanhao.

Ying Zhong, having suffered a heavy blow, knew he would not be able to survive the next Heavenly Tribulation. He began to plan for the succession of the Dragon King. Compared to his several brothers, who were mostly half-siblings, Ying Zhong naturally favored his son for this position.

Upon regaining his composure, Ying Zhong continued to make moves, trying his best to create favorable conditions for Ying Xuanhao's ascension.

Letting Ying Feng, played by Lu Xia Tian, renounce his claim to the Dragon King position was a crucial step, and it went surprisingly smoothly. After receiving some benefits, Lu Xia Tian simply withdrew from the competition for the Dragon King position on his own accord.

At this time, the Yehuo Yao Gui and two other monsters were cowering before Ying Zhong, not daring to move. They had witnessed with their own eyes how Ying Zhong, in a fit of rage, swallowed two celestial-level Jinzhang monsters whole. If Ying Zhong now wanted to kill them, it would be as easy as crushing ants. The sheer might of his dragon aura alone was enough to cripple them significantly.

"This is what you've done! You didn't even figure out the other side's tactics before leaking Yingfeng's news to them. The losses of two armies of over a hundred thousand sea demons were originally intended to deal with the East China Sea Dragon Palace, but now they are all gone. Such heavy losses, if Heaven Court investigates, who will take responsibility for this!" That roar of a dragon was filled with fury.

"The Dragon King calmed his anger, no one expected that Ying Heng would bring someone so bold who created a bloody tide. However, judging from the current intelligence, even Ying Heng didn't anticipate that the blood tide's lethality had reached such an astonishing level. Even they themselves had an army of nearly 30,000 sea monsters under their control swallowed by the blood tide."

The two Golden Chapter Demons were the ones who revealed Lu Xia Tian's whereabouts as Ying Feng. Speaking of which, it was rather coincidental. In order to replenish the Qingguo Barrier, Lu Xia Tian traveled through the Dragon Palace waters and saw a group of Eight-Star Golden Chapter Demons. He captured dozens of them and sent them into the Qingguo Barrier. These Eight-Star Golden Chapter Demons had a very special ability: they could attach themselves to the Star Cloud Jellyfish. Once the two were combined, they would turn into pure and clear seawater or merge into the Star Sand Reef, making them extremely difficult to detect. Even with Lu Xia Tian's methods, it was inevitable that some fish would slip through the net. Fortunately, Lu Xia Tian's method of sending the captured Eight-Star Golden Chapter Demons into the Qingguo Barrier was extremely secretive.

There's no need to worry about low-level demons figuring out the specifics of my methods. The only real concern is that my whereabouts might be exposed.

Originally, Lord Dragon Ying Zhong intended to pressure Ying Zhang and Ying Heng to force Lü Xiaotian (disguised as Ying Feng) into action. He wanted Ying Feng to feel the pressure and voluntarily approach Ying Zhong and Ying Xuan Hao. After all, Lü Xiaotian didn't want to get involved in the competition for the Dragon King's position in the first place. The list he offered as a condition, even though some of the requirements were merely seeds, was extremely difficult to find. It would be nearly impossible to accomplish in a short period, and if it took too long, the race for the Dragon King's position would practically be settled.

What Ying Zhong didn't expect was that forcing Lu Xia Tian to get closer would backfire. The two sea monster armies he lost, one was loyal to the Dragon King and was one of Ying Zhong's foundations for Ying Xuan Hao. The other was also relatively inclined towards Ying Xuan Hao.

The losses of these two large armies of merfolk, to the Dragon King's faction, were not even fatal, but they made the already bleak situation even more unpredictable.

Ying Zhong opened his maw wide, and a mouthful of dragon breath was directly spewed onto the two golden chapter demons. These two golden chapter demons who were prostrating on the ground did not die immediately, but screamed and struggled within the azure dragon's breath. After a while, they were gradually swallowed by the blue light, and finally disappeared without a trace.

At this time, the Ye Huo Yao Gui was trembling all over and lying on the ground. If Ying Zhong got a whim, he would probably end up like those two golden scale demons.

"You are capable of failing more than succeeding. I can tolerate some small mistakes, but there are some things that I cannot tolerate. If you do this again, your fate will be the same as those two just now." Long Zhong said coldly.

"Yes, Dragon King," Yehuo Yaogui said with a trembling voice. Even though Long Zhong suffered serious injuries, his majesty was still something that ordinary celestial immortals could not easily challenge. The current South Sea Dragon King, although insignificant in the Jade Xuan Heavenly Court and heavily suppressed, was still unrivaled in this Dragon Palace sea domain. At any moment, he could decide her life or death.

"You lead the Longze Army to Mugan Hailing to intercept the Bloodtide. Do not retreat without an order, even if you are all killed in battle."

Ye Huo Yao Gui's face changed drastically. Although Ying Zhong hadn't taken his life for the time being, this order was no different from sending him to his death.

"Even if I truly wanted you dead, this king wouldn't have the Dragonze army bury with you. Behind Mud Sea Ridge is where the Heaven Court produces the Mud of No-Sight. If it weren't for you fools, this king would have lost two elite armies for nothing! This is why I'm sending you with 10,000 Dragonze soldiers on this perilous mission. Even if I were to redeploy troops, it would take time. If the Heaven Court punished me, my position wouldn't be secure, and you lot would end up in a worse predicament." Ying Zhong snorted. He didn't particularly care about Yehuo Yao Gui's life or death, but at this moment, he lacked someone capable of standing alone, and his other forces were stretched thin. He could only temporarily entrust Yehuo Yao Gui with a heavy responsibility.

Thinking about this, Ying Zhong's heart felt even heavier. He regretted not directly confronting Ying Feng in the first place. If he had done so, there wouldn't be such a mess now. Even if they encountered some trouble, letting Ying Feng handle it would have been far more effective than dealing with this Ye Huo Yao Gui. The difference in their strength and ability to bolster the morale of the Hai Yao clan army was simply incomparable.

“Yes, Dragon King,” Ye Huo Yaogui (the fire demon turtle) reluctantly took his orders and left.

“Damn this blood tide, if we let it rampage like this, the foundation of the Dragon Palace will truly be destroyed. Those bastards in the Heavenly Court, once our value to them diminishes, they won't hesitate to replace us with other clans of dragons. Ying Feng that guy wasn't very reliable to begin with, and now he’s生死未卜 (his life or death is unknown). Looks like I have to take action myself this time.” The Dragon King, Ying Zhong, muttered to himself for a moment, then flicked his tail, and his massive dragon form vanished into the seawater.
