Handling the Matter
In mid-air, torrential dragon blood poured down, staining large swaths of soil crimson.
Killing Long Qi did not improve Yang Tianyou's mood. He came to the village that had been wiped out by the former and looked at the mutilated corpses and severed limbs floating on the water, his expression heavy.
Thump!
He threw the enormous dragon head onto a high slope that hadn't been submerged by the flood.
The dragon's eyes, still wide open, stared at the scene of carnage before it.
"You lost your life because of these lowly ants. Compared to them, how noble are you?" Yang Tianyou sneered, his eyes filled with mockery.
"Why did this Flood Dragon suddenly attack my Yang Household?" Yunhua walked to his side, her beautiful face filled with doubt.
This is something she still can't understand. The Yang Household family has never had any conflict with the Flood Dragon Clan, so why would a Nascent Soul Flood Dragon come knocking on their door today?
They even said that the Yang Household Members killed his descendants.
"Please wait a moment, Madam, while I Detection this dragon's memories," Yang Tianyou said.
Yunhua nodded slightly and stood quietly beside her husband.
After a short while, Yang Tianyou opened his eyes, his mind returning from the Jade Register Heavenly Book.
His lips twitched, and he muttered to himself, "So it's Yueyang and Xuanyun..."
"What, my husband, do you understand the cause and effect?" Yunhua asked.
"It's clear now. It turns out that Yueyang and Xuanyun killed the dragon's offspring and stole the three Nine-Refinement Heavenly Furnace Fruits..." Yang Tianyou recounted the general course of events.
Upon hearing this, Yunhua frowned slightly. "Yueyang and Xuanyun shouldn't be the kind of cultivators who would kill others for treasure, right? Their hearts are pure. I don't believe these two little ones would kill Flood Dragon for no reason."
Yang Tianyou said, "Yes, what Madam said is exactly what I thought. However, Long Qi is not very clear about what happened between Black Flood Dragon and Yueyang. We will need to find out for ourselves."
Yunhua said, "Yueyang went to the Luochuan Sect to seek refuge in order to avoid dragging my Yang Household into the conflict, so we can't blame him for that."
Upon hearing this, Yang Tianyou nodded. "Of course I won't blame Yueyang. Long Qi is so brutal; his son is unlikely to be any better. I think Yueyang was probably provoked by him, or perhaps forced to retaliate."
"Things have come to this, let's not think about them anymore. Our most urgent task now is to figure out how to deal with the Luochuan River Flood Dragon Clan." Yunhua's expression was solemn. They naturally didn't care that Long Qi was only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
However, among the Luochuan River Flood Dragon Clan, there are six Flood Dragons at the Nascent Soul Level, and the Clan Chief, Luochuan River Dragon King, is a powerful being at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection, with extraordinary strength. If he were to come knocking, the Yang Household would face annihilation.
"Hmph, this matter is also related to True Person Tianyun. We must settle this Karma in the future." Yang Tianyou snorted coldly, then added, "In this situation, it's time for True Person Beigong to step in."
Yunhua also sneered, "That's right. As a subordinate sect of the Luochuan Sect, we have been bullied by the Flood Dragon Clan. If the Luochuan Sect does not protect us, I believe all the major forces in the entire Luochuan Commandery will be disheartened."
"However, we can't put all our eggs in one basket with the Luochuan Sect. We've sent a message to the core Lineage, ordering them all to return to Purple Moon Mountain to await orders. If things go wrong, we'll retreat to the Three Blazing Flame Palace Secret Realm for refuge," Yang Tianyou added.
After deciding on their next plan, the couple flew towards their Lineage's location.
That day, a piece of news spread like wildfire in Luochuan Commandery, saying that Long Qi, the Fourth Elder of the Luochuan River Flood Dragon Clan, had suddenly Demonic Transformation and was massacring hundreds of thousands of Mortals from the Yang Household.
Left with no other choice, the Yang Household resorted to their most powerful clan weapon to kill him.
Luochuan City, Central Pavilion, Top Floor.
Upon receiving the news, True Person Tianyun turned solemn. He muttered to himself in disbelief, "The Yang Household actually managed to kill a Nascent Soul Flood Dragon."
A wave of regret washed over him. If he had known the Yang Household possessed such power, he would never have sent any message to the Luochuan River Dragon King.
Third Tier Flood Dragon and Fourth Tier Flood Dragon are two completely different concepts. If the former dies, the Luochuan River Dragon King will care, but he won't be too heartbroken.
The latter is different. The entire Luochuan River Flood Dragon Clan only has six Fourth Tier Flood Dragons. The death of one of them is a huge event, and the Luochuan River Dragon King will definitely not let it go.
"This is a serious matter..." True Person Tianyun sighed deeply.
Meanwhile, in a spacious room on the middle floor of the attic, Little True Person Yueyang and Yang Xuanyun also received the news.
"Oh no, oh no, Xuanyun, I've messed up! Hundreds of thousands of your Lineage have been killed by that Fourth Tier Flood Dragon!" Little True Person Yueyang cried, his heart filled with regret. He deeply regretted his impulsive actions in killing that Black Flood Dragon.
Yang Xuanyun remained silent, her face pale. Hundreds of thousands of her clansmen, gone just like that?
Yang Tianyou didn't expect that his exaggerated casualty figures, intended to make him sound pitiful, would frighten not the others, but his two little ones.
Luochuan River, Heart of the Lake Island.
True Person Beigong looked solemnly at the intelligence compiled by True Person Tianyun in his hand.
After a long pause, he let out a long sigh, "Tianyun has ruined me!"
"How do you plan to handle this matter?" the Grand Elder's voice came from the side.
Several years have passed, and after studying the "Guanghan Taiyin True Scripture" in depth, the Grand Elder's temperament has become increasingly cold and aloof. Standing there, he is like Eternal Profound Ice.
"How does the Grand Elder intend to handle this matter?" True Person Beigong asked in return.
"Of course, we should suppress this matter."
"Which side should we bet on?" True Person Beigong asked.
"Naturally, it's the Luochuan River Flood Dragon Clan. Are you suggesting we punish the Yang Household? Wouldn't that cause the forces below to become disloyal? What would the Upper Sect's Mountain and River Hall and other Human Race think of us?" The Grand Elder looked at True Person Beigong with a strange expression, not understanding why he would ask such a foolish question.
Upon hearing this, the latter's face twitched, and he muttered to himself, "Isn't it because you've become increasingly muddle-headed and arrogant over the years? Otherwise, why would I have bothered asking you any more questions?"
However, True Person Beigong was quite pleased that the Grand Elder had a clear understanding of this issue.
"Very well, Grand Elder, you will stay here and guard the sect. I will make a trip to the Luochuan River Flood Dragon Clan."
