Chapter 930: A Great Disrespect Defying Heavenly Law

"If you can survive this death tribulation, I will let her return to the Jinghe. But if you fall in this tribulation, I can only let her offer sacrifices for you every year."

"As for now, it is better for her to stay by my side. Otherwise, should an accident occur, the Jinghe Long Wang's bloodline would be left with nothing."

"Many thanks, Dao Ancestor. If I can survive this death tribulation, I will surely reward you handsomely. As for Ao Ling, I ask that Daoist Yuan look after her for me." The Jinghe Long Wang knelt down in haste to thank Yuan Shoucheng.

After all, this was a life-saving grace, the greatest of favors.

"No need. We are both people caught in the tribulation; this act is merely mutual assistance between those sharing the same plight."

As Yuan Shoucheng said this, he looked at the vast, azure sky above, but his heart felt as if it were shrouded in a dark cloud.

"Jinghe Long Wang, remember, this death tribulation does not only involve you, the Jinghe Long Wang; the entire Jinghe aquatic tribe is implicated!"

"If there is any slip-up, it will not be just you who dies!"

At this final juncture, Yuan Shoucheng did not forget to warn the Jinghe Long Wang.

"Daoist Yuan, I will keep it in mind."

After the Jinghe Long Wang finished speaking, he withdrew immediately and headed straight for the Imperial Palace.

As for his daughter Ao Ling, the Jinghe Long Wang could barely save himself, so naturally, he had no ability to worry about her anymore.

The Great Tang Imperial Palace was the most conspicuous building in Changancheng. Although the Jinghe Long Wang did not know Yuan Shoucheng's residence, he knew the location where the Tang Huang Li Shimin lived all too well.

After leaving Yuan Shoucheng's home, the Jinghe Long Wang did not go to the Great Tang Imperial Palace to find Li Shimin immediately.

After all, going to seek out the Tang Huang Li Shimin was a request for help, so he had to bring something that the Tang Huang Li Shimin could not refuse.

Only then could he get the Tang Huang Li Shimin to help him stall Chancellor Wei Zheng.

Standing on the streets of Changancheng, the Jinghe Long Wang pondered carefully what kind of treasure he should bring to make the Tang Huang Li Shimin stall Chancellor Wei Zheng for him.

After all, although the Jinghe Long Wang's Dragon Palace had countless gold and silver treasures, the mortal Emperor Li Shimin was not lacking in such things.

As for other magic treasures, the Tang Huang Li Shimin had not a shred of magic power; giving them to him would merely be a novel toy.

For this reason, the Jinghe Long Wang racked his brains but could not think of what treasure would move the Tang Huang Li Shimin.

As he thought, the Jinghe Long Wang's mind drifted back to the Turtle Chancellor.

"This is a crime of insubordination and a great disrespect defying Heavenly Law. Can he, Li Shimin, a mere mortal emperor, really save my life?"

The Jinghe Long Wang still dared not fully trust Yuan Shoucheng in his heart.

It was not that the Jinghe Long Wang was so stupid, but rather that an invisible hand was clouding his thoughts, preventing him from seeing the whole picture.

Consequently, even though Yuan Shoucheng had explained the stakes of the matter so clearly to the Jinghe Long Wang, the Jinghe Long Wang still did not act with his whole heart.

"Truly laughable. That Turtle Chancellor plotted against my daughter Ao Ling first; it was only reasonable for me to execute him. Yet now, I am to lose my own life for this. How sad, how lamentable!" ===== CHAPTER 932 =====
