Chapter 316: What are you still hesitating about?

Shen Qing nodded satisfied, turned his head and directly left the Haiyou Valley heading towards the Haiyou Valley.

Shen Qing was already too lazy to communicate further with this group of sea beast martial saints.

Anyway, Shen Qing has already made his words clear; if later they don't cooperate or cause trouble, then don't blame Shen Qing for being impolite.

After Shen Qing left, several sea clan martial saints looked at each other, and finally all turned their gazes to Kun He.

Apart from the East Sea Dragon Palace, the Kun tribe is the strongest; Kun He is also, apart from the Dragon Palace, the only one at the ninth level of the Sea Saint realm, so the other sea saints naturally regarded Kun He as the backbone.

The Octopus Sea Saint spoke: "Kun He, elder brother, are we really going to do as he said? But the main target of the evil creatures is still humans."

"If we act openly, wouldn't that let the evil creatures turn their target toward our sea clan?"

This concern is not without reason; the other sea saints also turned their gazes to Kun He.

Kun He remained silent for a long time before speaking.

"I will do as Lord Shen said."

The other sea saints all gave looks of astonishment.

Kun He spoke: "Do you really think our sea clan can stay out of this?"

"In this world, oceans occupy sixty percent, land forty percent, yet the strength of humans on land far surpasses that of our sea clan."

"If you were the evil creatures, where would you attack first?"

These words left them speechless.

Kun He continued: "Moreover, serving Lord Shen poses no problem; although he is a bit ruthless, he has always been good to his subordinates."

Several other sea saints who participated in the campaign against the Wokou nodded: "Exactly, exactly, exactly; when we fought the Wokou, we worked for Lord Shen, and Lord Shen even let us withdraw our subordinates from the city before attacking again."

"Moreover, do you think Lord Shen's appearance here is accidental?"

The other martial saints froze for a moment: "Kun He, elder brother, what do you mean by that?"

Kun He chuckled: "The East Sea Dragon Palace lies hidden deep in the East Sea, a distance of one hundred and eight thousand li from the Great Wu."

"Then how did Shen Qing learn the news of the Dragon Palace's rebellion? You know we in the East Sea haven't received any news at all."

Kun He's scrutinizing gaze swept over the assembled sea saints; they were all unable to utter a word.

Kun He continued: "Have you noticed that the Abyssal Maw has still not appeared up to now?"

"According to my speculation, Lord Shen will come to the East Sea Dragon Palace, most likely because the Abyssal Maw discovered some clue and then went to find Lord Shen."

"And Lord Shen came to the East Sea Dragon Palace based solely on the Abyssal Maw's one-sided account."

"I ask you all: being able to follow such a person, what are you still hesitating about?"

"Just get to work properly."

East Sea Dragon Palace.

The Abyssal Maw had already been waiting here anxiously.

Shen Qing appeared behind the two of them.

"How is the situation?"

The Abyssal Maw hurriedly spoke: "Lord Shen! The high-cultivation dragon clan have all gone to the Haiyou Valley; the remaining ones are weak and have already been brought under control."

"However, we found Ao Feng in the Dragon-Locking Tower."

"Ao Feng is the third prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace, the very one we saw in Lan Kingdom."

"And the Dragon-Locking Tower is equivalent to the Great Wu's heavenly prison."

Shen Qing raised his eyebrows: "Take me to have a look."

The Abyssal Maw immediately led the way forward; the so-called Dragon-Locking Tower is actually a large prison that goes straight underground. The Abyssal Maw brought Shen Qing deep into the prison, and before they had gone far, they heard Ao Feng's angry roar.

"Damn it! A bunch of bastards! How dare you lock me up here! I am the third prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace!"

"Ao Kun! Ao Yu! Ao Ting! How dare you betray us!"

"How can you face the ancestors underground like this! How can you meet the dragon ancestor!"

"I fuck you ***"

"Your mother **"

Just then, the door locking Ao Feng's cell burst open with a boom, and a shaft of light shone into the dark cell.

At this moment, Ao Feng's condition could not be described as anything but miserable; half of his dragon scales had fallen off, and dozens of chains tightly bound him.

Ao Feng looked toward the gate: "Hurry up and release me..."

"Ao Feng, you look pretty miserable."

Shen Qing's voice echoed in the prison.

Ao Feng froze for a moment: "Shen... Lord Shen..."

"How did you come to be here?"

"Did the ones I sent to Great Wu arrive so quickly?"

Ao Feng also sent dragons to Great Wu to look for Shen Qing, but now Great Wu has martial saints stationed in every prefecture and commandery; any slight disturbance will call Shen Qing through the consciousness network.

But up to now there has been no call to Shen Qing, which indicates that this dragon likely met with an accident.

However, Ao Feng quickly reacted: "Forget it, this isn't important, Lord Shen!"

"There is a bigger matter: my father and they have rebelled and joined the evil creatures! Right here in the Haiyou Valley, they intend to strike at the other sea saints! They plan to ignite a war across the entire East Sea!"

"Ao Kun and his gang have already been killed by me."

Having said that, Shen Qing looked at Ao Feng with a calm expression; although Ao Feng was right to oppose the rebellion, once he showed hatred, Shen Qing would not show mercy, as the saying goes: "If you cut the grass but don't remove the roots, the spring wind will make it grow again."

Ao Feng had a brief moment of dazedness, then immediately showed a look of desolation: "Are they all dead..."

"It is they who got what they deserved..."

Shen Qing felt not a trace of resentment from him; he is also a dragon who cultivates righteousness and suppresses evil.

Click-click-click!

This is the sound of chains breaking; the chains that bound Ao Feng were cut by Shen Qing.

Shen Qing turned and walked toward the outside of the great prison, saying: "Follow me."

One person and one dragon flew up toward the Dragon-Locking Pagoda.

Soon they arrived inside the Dragon Palace; here, all the remaining dragons of the East Sea Dragon Palace were gathered, their cultivation levels all below the Primordial Core Realm.

They saw Ao Feng arrive, and each one turned their gaze toward him.

"Third Prince! Third Prince! What on earth is going on?"

"There are rumors that the Dragon King has betrayed and joined the evil; is this true?"

Shen Qing spoke softly: "I leave it to you."

Ao Feng nodded, took a deep breath, his expression returned to its usual coolness, and walked before the assembly of white dragons.

"That's right! Ao Kun, Ao Yu, and Ao Ting have all betrayed us, betrayed the Dragon Ancestor, and turned to evil!"

"They intend to wipe out the other sea clan's sea sages and provoke war in the East Sea."

An exclamation immediately rose from the dragon crowd, and even faint sobbing could be heard.

"But the situation is still under control! I have found aid and quelled the rebellion!"

"The traitors have all been executed!"

After a round of talk, Ao Feng, being sensible, took the blame upon himself.

Just then, a little black dragon swam out from the dragon crowd, looked at Ao Feng, and spoke in a childish voice: "Third brother, did our elder brothers really all rebel?"

A golden gleam flashed in Shen Qing's pupils as he activated the Golden Eye of Illusion-Breaking, and he sensed malevolent qi on that black dragon.

As expected, this little black dragon possessed malevolent qi within its body, and it existed in a delicate balance with its internal energy, so neither its body nor its mind was affected by the malevolent qi.

Ao Feng swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Lord Shen..."

He knew that in Great Martial there existed the Heavenly Craft Workshop, which had been researching malevolent qi, and his younger brother, the Young Prince, could maintain a perfect balance with malevolent qi, making him a rare experimental subject.

Shen Qing smiled: "I understand what you're thinking."

"Don't worry, I wouldn't stoop so low."

"Moreover, if your East Sea Dragon Palace's Young Prince were taken away for research, it would be embarrassing to admit."

"With your abilities, you can stabilize the Dragon Palace; you and your brother should jointly oversee it."

"If you need anything, come find me in Great Martial."
