Chapter 110: with translation of chapter title

~8 min read 1,423 words

Just as reactions varied from all sides, and they watched secretly.

Jieyin Zhunti are here.

The two moved at extreme speed, and by now they had already entered the territory of Wuliang Sihai.

"How strange, we sent divine sense transmissions, yet our disciple has not replied in the slightest!!"

At this moment, Jieyin furrowed his brows, muttering to himself, his face involuntarily showing a hint of worry.

Earlier, the two had already used various divine sense transmissions, hoping to get a reply from Chen Ku and thus learn his whereabouts.

But every divine sense transmission was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no reply at all.

Unbeknownst to them, at this moment the Xiating great army had arrived en masse, and under its mighty pressure, it also severed Jieyin and Zhunti's divine sense transmissions.

Likewise, because they were wholeheartedly trying to communicate with Chen Ku, worried in their hearts, Jieyin and Zhunti also failed to sense any movement from Xiating.

But at a certain moment!

Beneath their feet, in the boundless sea, countless ten-thousand-zhang-high waves rose up.

Jieyin and Zhunti fixed their gaze and saw countless colossal dragon clan figures, each tens of thousands of zhang long, riding the waters, swift as lightning, converging toward the same direction.

In an instant, Zhunti's face changed dramatically, his eyes sinking.

"These dragon clans... could they be heading for my grand-disciple?"

He immediately came up with this speculation.

After all, ordinary powerhouses rarely set foot in Wuliang Sihai, unwilling to involve themselves with the dragon clan.

Previously, Chen Ku had come to the dragon clan, and now such an unusual disturbance has erupted.

Anyone would naturally think so.

Having thought this, an even more ominous speculation arose in both of their minds.

Could the negotiations have broken down?!

Chen Ku not only failed to gain the dragon clan's submission, but instead provoked them, prompting the dragon clan's powerhouses to gather, intending to act against him?

Exchanging a glance, Jieyin and Zhunti each saw deep shock in the other's eyes.

"Hmph, outrageous!"

"If the dragon clan dares to harm even a hair of my disciple, today I will make them regret it."

Jieyin's face sank like water, his anger unabated.

Immediately, after glancing toward the direction the dragon clan was heading, Jieyin continued:

"Hurry on our way, make haste to the destination of these dragon clans."

As his words fell, Jieyin and Zhunti's speed surged again, chasing light and electricity, racing toward the place where the killing intent was strongest.

At the same time.

Dong Wanggong coldly surveyed the phenomena in Wuliang Sihai, his expression calm, without a ripple.

Although the dragon clan's powerhouses possessed immense vital energy and awe-inspiring pressure,

Dong Wanggong had already sensed that, although the dragon clan seemed vast in number, true experts were few and far between.

Those at the quasi-saint level numbered only seven or eight, and their auras were merely those of a corpse quasi-saint.

Thus, Dong Wanggong simply did not deign to notice them.

"Hmph, the dragon clan?"

"They are merely some trash lifeforms despised by heaven and earth; do you still think you are the masters of heaven and earth?"

"What qualifications do you have today to show off your might before me?"

If it were the past, Dong Wanggong might still have had a few misgivings about the dragon clan.

But now it is known that the black dragon has also become Chen Ku's mount.

Thus, the dragon clan's prestige in Dong Wanggong's mind has suffered yet another major blow.

Moreover, by taking advantage of today's events, Dong Wanggong has come to see the dragon clan's strength even more clearly.

Not worth fearing!

Let's not speak of how Dong Wanggong and the others reacted.

But as the source of everything, Chen Ku at this moment gazed upon the Xiating great army and then at the sight of the dragon clan's powerhouses gathering.

Yet he wore a face full of sorrow for heaven and pity for humanity, sighing wistfully:

"Alas... why go to such lengths, why go to such lengths?"

"Senior Dong Wanggong, all of this today is merely a misunderstanding."

"We cultivators should still value harmony above all."

"Master Jieyin and Uncle Zhunti are already on their way here."

"Why not wait for them to arrive, then we will naturally go to Xiating to talk as guests—would that be acceptable?"

However, though he said that, Chen Ku unintentionally gave a glance to the black dragon that was filled with a knowing smile.

The black dragon's action was well done, winning Chen Ku's heart!

No matter what, the gathering of the dragon clan's lifeforms still put his mind somewhat at ease.

After all, Chen Ku is not truly seeking peace with Xiating.

As the saying goes, a true man can bend and stretch; for now he is merely buying time to avoid their sharp edge.

When his own master and uncle arrive, turning against Dong Wanggong and the others later will still not be too late.

Chen Ku feels no psychological burden about this.

On the other side, hearing Chen Ku's words, Dong Wanggong and the others' faces grew even colder and harsher.

"Hmph, a misunderstanding?"

"What a shameless brat—how can you still have the nerve to speak of a misunderstanding at this point?"

Dong Wanggong was nearly laughing in anger.

He didn't know whether to say Chen Ku had exceptional psychological resilience or that his shamelessness was beyond description.

Anyone else, facing accusations and blame from their own side right now, would hardly be able to act so righteous and confident while speaking with such conviction.

He could also tell from Chen Ku's words that Jieyin Zhunti was already en route, carrying an implicit threat.

But today's affair, even if Jieyin Zhunti were to appear in person, the Xiating would not let it rest so easily.

As Dong Wanggong's words fell, the Yun Zhongjun behind him also spoke up.

"Damn brat, you're putting on an innocent act."

"Hmph, if it were someone unaware, they'd really be fooled by you."

"But you earlier killed our Xiating's strong cultivators, and even used heretical means to assimilate several of our fellow Daoists—truly hateful and despicable!"

"What do you have left to argue now?"

Yun Zhongjun's face was ferocious, his teeth clenched, as if trying to regain some face from his earlier embarrassed flight.

Chen Ku's Palm Buddha Kingdom great divine ability, in his mouth, was also denounced as a heretical method.

This shows his hatred toward Chen Ku.

But regarding this, Chen Ku's eyes shifted, still desperately thinking of an excuse.

"Ah? Fellow Daoist Yun Zhongjun, what are you saying? I don't understand at all."

While thinking, he responded like that subconsciously.

When questioned by others, no need to think much—first deny to the death.

"Confess and be lenient, resist and be strict—go home for New Year."

For Chen Ku, this is already second nature.

Seeing Chen Ku still putting on an act, Dong Wanggong's eyes turned cold.

"Chen Ku, don't bother showing these petty tricks before me."

"You trespassed into the Wuliang Sihai, seized our Xiating's opportunities, and killed our Xiating's strong cultivators."

"These crimes are all unforgivable."

"If you're sensible, quickly reveal the locations of Yingzhou and Fangzhang, the two Xiandao, and hand over all opportunities."

"It seems, for Jieyin Zhunti's sake, I might spare your life and not pursue this further."

Unexpectedly, Dong Wanggong's words could be seen as showing some concession.

Of course, it's not that he suddenly grew a benevolent heart and doesn't care about the lives of Xiating's strong cultivators.

But rather, this Chen Ku kid is too scheming, with endless tricks.

Dong Wanggong also couldn't help but worry that if they really fought, the Xiating would lose even more strength.

Moreover, first stabilizing this kid and making him hand over all opportunities would also make it easier to control Chen Ku, right?

As for that, Chen Ku naturally could not nod in agreement.

"Opportunities that have gone into one's pocket—how could there be any reason to take them out?"

"This isn't a joke, is it?!"

Chen Ku's thoughts raced, his eyes suddenly lit up as he thought of something.

Then, with a solemn expression, he looked at Dong Wanggong and suddenly said:

"Senior Dong Wanggong, your words have wrongfully doomed this poor Daoist."

"I have seen the Xiating's strong cultivators."

"But they killed each other—what does that have to do with me?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned, then stared speechless, looking bewildered.

"What?!"

"Mutual slaughter? What does that mean?!"
