Chapter 141: Water Command

Xiang Liu walked slowly into the room, the eight snake‑head tattoos on his neck flickering faintly in the firelight.

"The Sanmiao side has already agreed to cooperate," he said, his emerald snake eyes narrowing slightly, standing before Gong Ze, and continued:

"But they say Yao Zhonghua's earlier purge was too ruthless; now they haven't even regained half the strength they had at their peak."

"So......" Xiang Liu paused, then said in a deep voice:

"They want us to postpone the plan by ten, eight years; if we accept that condition, they will cooperate fully."

"At that time they only demand the southern territories and... the You Yu Clan slaves!"

Gong Ze sat upright in a beast‑skin chair, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest.

He wore a dark‑blue beast‑skin cloak, his long hair loosely tied with a bone hairpin, a few stray strands hanging over his forehead, adding a touch of wildness.

The most striking feature was the scar on the left side of his face, like a beast's claw mark, which not only left his looks intact but added a wild charm.

In the firelight his stern face flickered between light and shadow.

After a while he suddenly let out a light laugh, "Very good."

"I'm still young; I can wait."

Gong Ze rose, his towering figure casting a shadow.

"But when Yao Zhonghua grows old......"

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, his right hand clenched hard: "The vengeance for my father's death, I will repay it!"

"I, Gong Ze, might also become an emperor!"

A hint of admiration flickered in Xiang Liu's snake eyes.

Such ambition, such restraint, truly worthy of its followers!

But it did not continue Gong Ze's words; instead it changed the subject: "The Jiao command is dead; shall we look for other demon tribes to work with?"

"Um......" Gong Ze walked to the window, gazing at the snow‑covered mountains: "Winter has arrived; let's put it aside for now."

"We'll discuss it again next spring."

Xiang Liu heard this, said nothing, and when it was about to take its leave, it suddenly turned its head outward, pupils narrowing to thin slits, and the eight snake‑head tattoos on its neck glowed faintly.

It sensed an immense dragon aura rapidly approaching!

Yet there was no fear in its emerald snake eyes.

As an ancient demon‑god level being, it slaughtered everywhere in life; even after death its corpse gave Da Yu a very troublesome problem, and its strength was undeniably great!

Therefore, unless an Ying Long appears, it truly fears no other dragon clan!

"Interesting......" its tongue lightly licked its fangs, voice hissing like a venomous snake.

Outside the door, wind and snow suddenly ceased.

A slender figure stepped over the threshold, a three‑foot Golden Dragon coiled on its shoulder.

With each step the person took, the firelight inside dimmed a notch, as if even the light yielded to him.

Xiang Liu's snake eyes narrowed slightly, seeing the newcomer's face—a Human Race youth.

That was nothing; an aura of Qi, likely practiced Witchcraft, but his physique seemed ordinary, his body‑refining level showing little strength.

However, the Golden Dragon on his shoulder was very powerful, indescribably so.

To be honest...... it gave Xiang Liu a feeling of confronting a Human Emperor.

Since when did the dragon clan produce such a character?

Just as Xiang Liu was puzzled, Gong Ze suddenly spoke:

"Who are you?"

"Yu Lin."

"Yu Lin? Are you a fish‑demon in human form? Doesn't look like it."

"...... You don't need to say that."

Yu Lin gave no further explanation, but asked, "Was that Jiao dragon sent by you?"

Upon hearing that,

Gong Ze and Xiang Liu understood—it was here for vengeance!

The Flood Dragon Clan has no Jiao but dragons?

【5】5】 That's what you call it? Change it to Dragon Clan!

What is that called Flood Dragon Clan? Change it to have Dragon clan!

Gong Ze suppressed his doubt, stepped forward, and said in a deep voice, "Indeed."

"Are you a member of the Flood Dragon Clan?"

"No."

"...... No, then why are you here? Did you just decide to come?"

"Not exactly."

Yu Lin shook his head again, calmly saying, "That creature struck at Si Wen Ming; if I hadn't been there, it would probably have succeeded."

"Don't tell me you don't know who Si Wen Ming is."

"........" Gong Ze and Xiang Liu fell silent simultaneously, exchanging a glance that revealed mutual helplessness.

This fool...... but it's already dead; what can they do?

Revive it and kill it again? Impossible.

Now at a critical moment...... better to have fewer complications than more.

Moreover, Gun was also executed by Yao Zhonghua; in the end, he and Si Wen Ming share the same enemy!

If we could also win over the Chong Clan, that would be an excellent thing!

Thinking that, Gong Ze said, "We didn't make it do this; we are willing to compensate."

"How about that?"

Yu Lin raised two fingers: "Alright, first, hand over all your body‑refining herbs."

"Second, whatever schemes you have, do not involve the Chong Clan within thirty years."

"For now, those two points."

Gong Ze heard this, frowned slightly, seeming displeased with Yu Lin's bold demand, yet he was unsure what he was thinking, and finally sighed: "Alas."

"Xiang Liu, take him to fetch the medicine."

"Yes." Xiang Liu was not at all surprised by his acceptance of the terms; on the contrary, he readily agreed.

That Golden Dragon was powerful; using a few herbs to dispatch them early would be fine.

As for not involving the Chong Clan within thirty years… they had originally planned to counterattack the You Yu Clan after thirty years!

That exactly matched their intentions!

Xiang Liu led Yu Lin toward the place where the Gonggong Tribe stored the herbs.

Behind them, Gong Ze watched Yu Lin's figure, especially the Dragon Lord on his shoulder, eyes narrowed:

"If it can be used for me… the Chong Clan."

He did not continue speaking.

He raised his hand slightly, and the melted snow water on the ground spread on its own, flowing into his palm, constantly shifting and recombining until it finally formed the shape of a person.

Emperor Shun.

Bang.

Gong Ze squeezed the pool of water until it burst, his face expressionless.

He used neither Witchcraft nor Qi.

Also, the Dragon Lord had already fully taken in the scene with his eyes and whispered softly into Yu Lin's ear:

"This fellow has awakened the Heavenly Authority, just like Ning Ya."

"Control the water!"

Yu Lin nodded slightly: "Understood."

Is Gong Ze the first Heavenly Authority Awakener he has encountered since arriving here?

Considering the population at this time, it's normal for Awakeners to be few.
