Chapter 339: Can a Sage Not Be Provoked? Ao Li Was Dumbfounded!

After a moment's thought, several people understood Ao Li's meaning.

This is indeed the only option available now.

After all, who doesn't know Chen Ku's name?!

Before coming here, the Four Sea Dragon Kings had even solemnly instructed them.

The Four Sea Dragon Kings said that Senior Chen Ku is the most astonishingly talented existence of the present age, with heavenly power and dominance over all ages.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ao Li and the others hold supreme awe and reverence for Chen Ku.

They naturally believed that simply by revealing their identity as Western disciples, even the Wu Clan would have to show three parts of respect and dare not act rashly.

Moreover, their journey westward was originally to pay respects to the Buddhist sect as teachers.

Therefore, it is not entirely baseless.

They are merely using the identity of Buddhist disciples in advance.

Having made the decision, Ao Li and the others no longer hesitated.

"Stop!"

Ao Zhan let out a loud shout.

Immediately, several people swooped down and directly manifested among the human race.

This sudden change also caused countless young Wu to have their expressions shift.

Then they followed the sound to look.

Upon seeing Ao Li and the others' appearance, countless young Wu were instantly startled, their faces suddenly turning grim.

"Damn it!"

"Is it the Demon Race that has come?!"

Someone unknown shouted like that, causing all the young Wu to change expression again.

After all, the Dragon Race still originates from the demon kind.

Therefore, when their aura leaks out, it instantly causes all the Wu Clan to develop great hostility.

Gazes, too, are filled with sharp intensity, fixed upon Ao Li and the others.

As for this, Ao Li remains calm and composed.

He snorted and replied:

"Demon Race?!"

Hmph, do not dare to compare us with those mongrel beasts!

"We are Western Buddhist disciples, now passing through this place, seeing you actually dare to act against the human race."

"Only now have we appeared to block you; we hope you Wu Clan will be sensible and quickly withdraw from human territory."

Ao Li's words were spoken with absolute confidence, without the slightest hesitation.

In fact, in the Dragon Clan's heart, they also equally look down upon the so-called Demon Race.

Put bluntly, the hundreds of millions of Demon Race are merely a mixed collection of demon beings with mixed lineage and uneven quality.

In the end, they are a scattered mess, unable to achieve great things.

Therefore, upon hearing themselves being considered as the Demon Race, Ao Li became furious beyond restraint.

Upon these words being spoken, the countless young Wu were instantly doubtful and uncertain.

"Western Buddhist disciples?!"

These few words made their hearts tremble.

Even if the Wu Clan is arrogantly proud and recklessly extreme, now they must also be wary of the Buddhist sect's might.

After all, even the Twelve Ancestral Wu, when facing Chen Ku, were polite and courteous.

How dare these young Wu provoke them?!

But some young Wu also had faces full of doubt.

"Hmph, Buddhist disciples?!"

"Why have we never seen you few before?"

"In my view, you are definitely just talking nonsense."

One young Wu said this, and immediately caused even more young Wu to have faces full of doubt and uncertainty.

Not bad!

Western Buddhist disciples, nowadays in the world, also have an extraordinary reputation.

But the Ao Li and others before them have never shown any prominence.

Therefore, the Wu Clan has also suspected that they are merely pretending to be Western Buddhist disciples.

For this, Ao Li and the others seem to have already anticipated it.

After exchanging a glance, Ao Zhan stepped forward and spoke:

"Haha, I am the true dragon of the Western Sea, the black dragon is my clan uncle."

"Black Dragon Senior... you all wouldn't not know, would you?!"

The words had just fallen when Ao Tian and the others also spoke similarly.

"Not bad, the Yinglong now in the Western Sea is my Eastern Sea senior."

"Pánlóng is my father's elder brother, I also call him uncle."

"Hmph, if you Wu Clan don't believe it, dare you go to the Western Sea to verify?!"

These words made the countless young Wu completely stunned.

Nima!

Is this still a group of "Dragon Second Generation"?!

Relying on the reputation of their own elders and uncles, they act so arrogantly and yet still manage to sound so righteous and confident.

Truly, there is no one like them!

But it is precisely because Ao Li and the others speak with such certainty and full confidence that their words become even more persuasive.

The young Wu clansmen exchanged glances, all showing signs of hesitation.

The reason is simple!

Nowadays, the three tribes have close relations with the Buddhist sect, and their relationship is harmonious — this is known to all beings.

Moreover, as Ao Li and the others said, powerful beings like the Black Dragon and Yinglong are now equally renowned and formidable, not to be provoked by ordinary spirits.

"This... these words spoken by the dragon clan — are they true or false?!"

"If they truly possess such a background, then we indeed must treat them with due respect, lest we provoke the Buddhist sect."

"As far as I know, within the dragon clan, true dragons and aberrant dragons are not incompatible like fire and water, are they?!"

"Heh... that was long ago, a thing of the past."

"It is said that nowadays, among the dragon clan, true dragons and aberrant dragons have long since turned swords into jade and silk."

"If that is the case, then what they say could indeed be true......"

Such murmurs and whispers arose among the young Wu clansmen.

Upon hearing this, Ao Li and the others became even more proudly self-satisfied, calm and composed.

What these young Wu clansmen said is not wrong.

Although initially, within the dragon clan, there was a distinction between true dragons and aberrant dragons, and the two sides were as opposed as fire and water, swords drawn against each other.

However, with the rise of aberrant dragons like the Black Dragon in the West,

the views of countless true dragons have also changed accordingly.

No matter how one says it, the Black Dragon and others have also brought glory to the dragon clan.

Therefore, the true dragon faction has long since let go of prejudices and drawn close again with the aberrant dragons.

Upon investigation, the enmity between the two sides is not something that cannot be resolved.

Moreover, the true dragons have acknowledged the contributions of the aberrant dragons and can likewise benefit from them — why not do so?!

This is precisely why Ao Li and the others cite the Black Dragon and others — their words are not in the slightest false.

For a moment, the young Wu clansmen could not help but believe them to some extent.

In that case, this group of "dragon heirs" is truly not to be provoked.

Silence!

A silence that oppresses the heart spread outward.

After a long while, finally a young Wu clansman with the appearance of a leader spoke up.

"If that is the case, then we will not make things difficult for you."

"Leave this place at once, do not interfere in the affairs of our Wu Clan."

He coldly stared at Ao Li and the others, then issued such an unfriendly order to expel guests.

For the Wu Clan, this is already a concession.

However, it is easy to imagine that Ao Li and the others naturally would not be moved.

Having appeared and spoken so passionately, they are not merely here to put on a show of arrogance.

Protecting the human race is their true purpose.

Therefore, as soon as the young Wu clansman finished speaking,

on the other side, Ao Zhan spoke up with great force.

"It is you who should leave this place."

"Hmph, we dragon clan have been commanded to protect the human race and all living beings."

"This is also the decree of the senior Chen Ku."

"The divine might of the Western Buddhist sect is supreme, illuminating the nine heavens and ten earths."

"Today, you Wu clansmen dare not think of oppressing the human beings here."

Meanwhile, Ao Li and the others, though they did not speak, were equally resolute in expression, their eyes cold and sharp.

All of them stood firm, unwilling to yield an inch.

Upon hearing these words, the young Wu clansman who had spoken earlier suddenly flew into a rage.

"Hmph, given face but not appreciating it!"

"Since you do not wish to leave, then do not leave."

"This matter today is also the command of the Grand Ancestor Wu of our clan — no one may defy it, let alone change it."

The young Wu clansman was equally forceful.

All along, they have regarded the commands of the Twelve Ancestor Wu as something to be obeyed without question, daring neither to doubt nor to defy.

Therefore, even though they had already come to believe that Ao Li and the others are disciples of the Western sect, they still did not yield.

When the words fell, only to see him wave his great hand.

Immediately, the surrounding young Wu clansmen, with ill intentions, gathered together.

"Seize these dragon clansmen and hand them over to the great Wu of the clan for punishment!"

As the order rang out, the young Wu clansmen no longer hesitated, all leaping up violently, launching their attack.

Seeing this, Ao Li and the others changed expression.

The scene they had most feared ultimately came to pass.

The two sides still could not avoid clashing in battle.

In that moment, the few dragon clansmen also displayed their strength, clashing head-on with the countless attacks of the demon race.

Even, its manifested true form, the gigantic dragon race true form appearing out of nowhere, roaring and shaking the heavens.

On each dragon race body, dragon scales glittered and shone, cold light glistening, captivating hearts and souls.

However, Ao Li and the others seemed imposing, but their strength was ultimately insufficient.

They were only Golden Immortal cultivators.

The great battle erupted, and the Wu Clan fought with fists to flesh, violently and extraordinarily.

Moreover, in this human race territory, there were tens of thousands of lesser Wu.

Streams of power tore through the void, drawing heavenly sounds that roared, deafening and stunning.

Streams of attacks were even more like surging tides, endless and continuous.

In just a short moment, Ao Li and the others were completely suppressed.

The Wu Clan punched punch after punch, forcing the several into constant retreat, utterly falling into disadvantage.

Even, Ao Zhan, Ao Tian, and others were already completely suppressed.

Seeing this, Ao Li was greatly startled and lost color.

He knew that if this continued, he and these few would likely all perish here.

He was extremely decisive, immediately turning his body around.

"Hmph, you Wu Clan have great audacity."

"Today's matter, I will certainly report to Buddhist Master Chen Ku, to settle accounts with you."

Leaving behind such a harsh remark, Ao Li moved with extreme speed, in no time at all disappearing directly into the high heavens.

Seeing this, the lesser Wu leader's face sank.

"Chen Ku..."

"This time, trouble has come!"

The lesser Wu leader muttered to himself.

Then, he decisively ordered another lesser Wu beside him, saying:

"You hurry back to the clan, report this to the Great Wu Xiangliu!"

"Bring these several dragon race beings back as well!"

It must be said, this lesser Wu leader was also extremely shrewd.

He knew that if Chen Ku truly descended, for existences of their level, it would undoubtedly be a calamity of overturning the heavens.

Even, a single thought from Chen Ku would be an unparalleled great terror they could not bear.

This matter had already exceeded what the lesser Wu could endure.

Therefore, he directly handed over the already captured Ao Zhan, Ao Tian, and others, together to his own Great Wu Xiangliu.

In this way, these lesser Wu of his would no longer need to bear any responsibility.

While speaking, the lesser Wu's heart was also filled with bitter complaints.

Who could have thought that merely restricting this insignificant human race matter could also involve Chen Ku, that great figure?!

From this, one can see how astonishing Chen Ku's deterrent power among all beings in the world is now.

Another side!

Ao Li did not pause for a moment, using the dragon race's body technique divine power, stirring the boundless winds and clouds.

His form was even more swift as electricity.

Not long after, he had already crossed the Two Boundaries Mountain, reaching the Western Buddhist domain.

At the same time, the Ci Hang Daoist, now a disciple of the Buddhist sect, was also traveling between heaven and earth.

Seeing Ao Li's hurried appearance, his expression moved.

"This Daoist friend of the dragon race, why are you so panicked, coming to my Buddhist domain?!"

Ci Hang Daoist spoke out in question.

Hearing this, Ao Li was also startled.

Although he did not know Ci Hang Daoist, hearing the other's words, he instantly understood, realizing this person before him was indeed a Buddhist.

This was exactly the existence he sought.

Ao Li hastily performed a salute, respectfully asking:

"This senior, may I know whereabouts of the Black Dragon senior of my clan?!"

"Now, several brothers of my clan have been captured by that Wu Clan."

"Junior seeks audience with the Black Dragon senior, to seek justice for us."

Ao Li spoke urgently, in a few words, recounting everything that had happened before.

Ao Li naturally also wanted to directly request Chen Ku to come out of seclusion.

However, he also knew that relying on himself alone, he still could not even enter Chen Ku's field of vision.

Therefore, he could only first request to meet the Black Dragon, who is also of the dragon race.

Upon hearing his account, Ci Hang Daoist's expression was strange.

Black Dragon?!

He naturally knew of it.

However, in the eyes of the Western Buddhist sect people, the Black Dragon was merely Chen Ku's mount.

Unexpectedly, now his own Chen Ku senior's one mount, had actually already been regarded by the dragon race as an existence of supreme reverence?!

Truly worthy of being Chen Ku's senior brother!

Ci Hang Daoist could not help but silently sigh with such feeling.

Immediately after, he also came to his senses.

"Heh heh, if that's the case... then I'll take you there."

Cihang Daoist didn't put on any airs either.

He immediately set out, bringing Ao Li, heading toward the direction of Chen Ku's dojo.

Nowadays, Black Dragon and the others often practice cultivation there as well.

However, upon arriving at Chen Ku's dojo, the two did not see Chen Ku's figure.

Instead, all around them were vast expanses of flowing law and order.

Within Chen Ku's dojo, immortal light burst forth, and auspicious colors filled the sky.

In the darkness, a layer of impenetrable spatial barrier flickered in and out of view.

Seeing this, Ao Li was puzzled.

But Cihang Daoist's expression froze, and he revealed a look of sudden realization.

"This... it seems Senior Brother Chen Ku has already entered seclusion."

"Black Dragon is also following Senior Brother Chen Ku, having cut off all external perceptions."

Cihang Daoist spoke up, explaining this to Ao Li in a single sentence.

Upon hearing this, Ao Li's face turned even more anxious.

At present, Ao Zhan, Ao Tian, and others have all fallen into the hands of the Wu Clan—there is not a moment to lose.

Yet my Black Dragon senior has instead followed Chen Ku senior into seclusion?!

What are we to do?!

Ao Li instinctively pleaded:

"Senior Cihang, may I humbly request a word—could we temporarily awaken Senior Chen Ku?!"

Upon saying this.

Cihang Daoist's expression grew even more strange.

"How can this be?!"

"Senior Brother Chen Ku is in seclusion; even other sages of my Buddhist sect would not lightly disturb him."

The words faded away.

Beside him, Ao Li was utterly stunned!
