Chapter 1387: The Human Emperor's Compromise (First update, requesting all)

Husband and wife are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly off in their own directions!

With the East Sea Dragon Queen escaping, this was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the East Sea Dragon Clan members who were still resisting.

The East Sea Dragon Clan had already fallen into a disadvantage, suffering casualties every moment, and their morale was already low; with the high-status East Sea Dragon Queen fleeing, it began to show signs of collapse.

Some Dragon Clan members who were already afraid of death or lacked resolve began to follow suit, leaving the ranks under the pretext of seeking reinforcements, not to mention the Water Clan that was attached to the East Sea Dragon Clan.

As more and more East Sea Dragon Clan and Water Clan members withdrew from the battle formation, the situation became increasingly favorable for Li Zhangsheng's side.

Li Zhangsheng's side did not entangle themselves with these Dragon Clan members who intended to leave, but instead focused their energy on the East Sea Dragon Clan and Water Clan members who were still putting up a desperate struggle.

For a time, the disparity in numbers became increasingly obvious.

On the border between the East Sea and the Despair Strait, a great battle was also taking place at this moment; the Wicked Dragon and Ao Feng were clashing, and the Wicked Dragon held a slight upper hand, but the East Sea Dragon Clan had more elites at the border, so the two sides could only be considered evenly matched.

However, the Wicked Dragon was confident in entangling Ao Feng for a period of time.

Ao Feng received information from the East Sea Dragon Palace from time to time; his mind was heavy, and upon learning that the East Sea Dragon Queen had escaped, he dismissed the thought of returning.

Judging from the situation, the East Sea Dragon Clan would surely suffer heavy losses this time, and even his father, the Dragon King, was likely in grave danger.

Returning to rescue at this time was no different from throwing meat buns at a dog; after all, the Wicked Dragon would not let this opportunity pass and would certainly pursue him relentlessly.

Additionally, Ao Feng saw an opportunity to control the East Sea and become the next East Sea Dragon King.

Under these circumstances, Ao Feng feinted, forcibly repelled the Wicked Dragon, and then charged toward the North Sea.

If the East Sea Dragon King were to fall, as long as he obtained the support of the other three Dragon Kings, he could steadily become the next East Sea Dragon King.

The reason he chose the North Sea Dragon King was mainly because the North Sea Dragon Clan was the poorest, and the price to be paid would be relatively smaller.

The Wicked Dragon chased for a while, but seeing Ao Feng enter the North Sea, he had to stop; he did not want to offend the North Sea Dragon Clan further.

The Wicked Dragon thought for a moment, then led his elites and charged toward the East Sea Dragon Palace.

In the region between the Northern Region and the North Sea, a five-clawed golden dragon, fully a thousand meters long, led a large number of Dragon Clan, Sub-Dragon, and Water Clan members, its massive Longyan fixed upon the palace-dressed beauty and the gloomy middle-aged man hovering in the void.

"Your Majesty Xuanhuang, please stay!"

This five-clawed golden dragon was the true form of the North Sea Dragon King, and the palace-dressed beauty and the gloomy middle-aged man were, needless to say, Xuanhuang and Tuidi.

Upon learning that Li Zhangsheng's side was dealing with the East Sea Dragon Clan, acting on the principle that speed is the essence of war, Xuanhuang and Tuidi went to the East Sea Dragon Palace together, preparing to act when the opportunity arose, but they were intercepted by the North Sea Dragon King just as they left the Northern Region.

Judging from the number of Dragon Clan members led by the North Sea Dragon King, it seemed it was not just the North Sea Dragon Clan alone.

"I wonder why the Dragon King is blocking our way?"

Xuanhuang also faintly sensed two exceptionally powerful auras in the water, which seemed no less inferior to the North Sea Dragon King.

This was troublesome; even though Xuanhuang was very confident in his own strength, he did not have much confidence when facing such a powerful lineup.

"Entrusted by others! Your Majesty Xuanhuang, please set your mind at ease; in half an hour, we will voluntarily withdraw!"

This time, the North Sea Dragon King did not hesitate to offend Xuanhuang to assist Li Zhangsheng, all for the sake of profit.

From beginning to end, the North Sea Dragon King never looked at Tuidi directly, which made Tuidi feel a burst of anger, yet he was helpless; after all, everyone knew he was Xuanhuang's puppet.

The South Sea Dragon King and the West Sea Dragon King still had not appeared; unless the battle situation was unfavorable, they were unwilling to tear their faces with Xuanhuang.

Even if Xuanhuang guessed their identities, he still did not want to tear this veil of decency.

Xuanhuang was silent for a moment, his fingernails digging deep into his flesh; he was exceptionally annoyed, but he could never bring himself to initiate an attack.

With the three Dragon Clans united, how could he be their opponent?

Thus, the two sides remained in a stalemate.

This was exactly the original intention of the three Dragon Kings; as long as they did not completely tear their faces, it was not impossible to restore the relationship between the two sides in the future.

On the edge of the Northeast Region, the Human Emperor and Phoenix Emperor watched with ashen faces as the Phoenix Clan intercepted them.

A Li Fire Phoenix that blotted out the sky stood at the very front of the Phoenix Clan; she was the Phoenix Clan Elder from Flame Canyon.

"Phoenix Emperor, hand over the Phoenix Clan Treasure, otherwise the Phoenix Clan will surely fight you to the death!"

As the Phoenix Clan Elder finished speaking, the Phoenix Clan members behind her also began to clamor.

At this moment, the Phoenix Clan shared a common hatred for the enemy and stood united against outsiders.

Unless the Phoenix Clan Treasure returned to the hands of the Phoenix Clan, none of them felt secure; no one wanted to follow in Feng Zi's footsteps.

"Do you really intend to become enemies with this Emperor?"

The Human Emperor's voice was low; if it were only the Phoenix Clan from Flame Canyon, he would not be afraid, but what he feared was the entire Phoenix Clan.

"Your Majesty Human Emperor, that treasure is an ancestral object of our Phoenix Clan and is of vital importance to us; we cannot allow any Phoenix Clan Treasure to remain lost outside."

The Phoenix Clan Elder's voice was resonant and powerful, her tone firm; regarding the lost Phoenix Clan Treasure, she could be said to be determined to obtain it. She had already notified the Phoenix Clan Leader that she would not stop until her goal was achieved.

"It seems you really intend to be enemies with this Emperor..."

The Human Emperor had an inclination to act; Wendi was on good terms with the Phoenix Clan of Flame Canyon, and the Phoenix Emperor had offended the Phoenix Clan severely because of the Phoenix Clan Treasure and Feng Zi, so the two sides already had a tendency to become mortal enemies.

Just before he could act, the Human Emperor sensed several massive auras flying rapidly toward this side.

"Cough, cough, this Emperor is not an unreasonable person and has always upheld the attitude of maintaining friendly relations with the Phoenix Clan for generations. To express my apologies, Your Majesty Phoenix Emperor, bring it out!"

Feeling these auras, the Human Emperor's heart sank; these were clearly several Demon Emperor-level Phoenix Clan members. It seemed that for the sake of this Phoenix Clan Treasure, the Phoenix Clan had come out in full force.

Under these circumstances, after weighing his options, the Human Emperor ultimately chose to compromise.

In the current chaotic situation, the Human Emperor was unwilling to become enemies with the entire Phoenix Clan, otherwise the situation would be very unfavorable for him.

Therefore, appropriate sacrifice was still necessary; besides, the sooner the Phoenix Clan left, the more time they would have to support the East Sea Dragon Clan.

As the Human Emperor finished speaking, the Phoenix Emperor's eyes widened, her face turning pale and then green; finally, she sighed helplessly and, with extreme reluctance, handed over the Phoenix Clan Treasure.

As for what the Phoenix Emperor was thinking and whether she resented the Human Emperor, only she herself knew.

What was certain was that the Phoenix Emperor felt very uncomfortable; it was by relying on the Phoenix Clan Treasure that the Phoenix Emperor had her current position, so the importance of the Phoenix Clan Treasure to her could be imagined.

Now that the Human Emperor had made her return it to the Phoenix Clan, an irreparable rift had inevitably appeared between the Phoenix Emperor and the Human Emperor.

The Human Emperor was also aware of this, but for the sake of the greater situation, he ultimately chose to compromise; besides, the Phoenix Emperor was merely a chess piece in his hand, rather than the partner relationship she believed herself to be.

Since this chess piece had become a useless burden, it was time to find an opportunity to discard her.
