After speaking, Eastern Emperor Taiyi flew directly toward the South Sea.

He felt extremely confident in his own cultivation.

Coupled with the Eastern Emperor Bell in his hand, what was there to fear?

There was absolutely no need to fear these strange and bizarre things.

As he flew into the South Sea, countless members of the Demon Race were hidden within the void of the South Sea.

They immediately began to strike from the shadows.

Moreover, after striking, the corpses of the slain Dragon Race were not wasted.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi took the corpses directly and threw them onto the territory of the Witch Clan.

Although the Dragon Race employed a wide-net strategy, it had to be said.

With the Four Seas Dragon Kings presiding, they had divided the regions.

The movements of the many members of the Dragon Race were well within their grasp.

Sitting within the South Sea Dragon Palace.

Several Dragon Kings frowned.

"It has been decades, and we still haven't found them."

"Not only have we not found them, but many of our Dragon Race's sons and grandsons have gone missing."

"Missing?"

"Yes, in my region, quite a few sons and grandsons have gone missing."

The Four Seas Dragon Kings were all stunned, and then the East Sea Dragon King spoke directly.

"Recall all members of the Dragon Race, take a headcount, and see exactly what is happening."

In an instant, the entire South Sea began to fall into chaos.

After recalling the Dragon Race and taking a headcount, the East Sea Dragon King's expression darkened.

"Damn it, who exactly is it that dares to abduct my Dragon Race kin?"

After he finished speaking, the entire Dragon Race became agitated.

Many within began to discuss recent rumors.

"I heard that the Witch Clan has been active in the South Sea recently, seemingly wanting to occupy this place."

"I also heard that it is the people of the Witch Clan who are slaughtering our Dragon Race."

"It seems quite possible; the Witch Clan loves to eat flesh and blood, it must be them."

"This Witch Clan is truly overbearing, to have killed so many of our kin."

"Revenge, we must have revenge."

"How can we take revenge? The Witch Clan has twelve Ancestor Witch, and their Great Witch are also formidable in combat."

The rumors also reached the ears of the several Dragon Kings.

However, regarding this claim, the East Sea Dragon King held a skeptical attitude.

The first reason was that they could not win.

That was a fact.

The second reason was that they had been monitoring the Witch Clan recently, and they had only been expanding toward the east; there had never been any talk of them expanding toward the South Sea.

Could it be that they had changed direction and started expanding this way?

If that were the case, it would be possible, but as it stood, none of these things had happened.

Then who could have done such a thing?

After thinking about it for a moment, he seemed to realize something.

"What are your thoughts, everyone?"

The three Dragon Kings beside him looked at the East Sea Dragon King, completely stunned for a moment, and then began to speak directly.

"I believe that although the Witch Clan is suspicious, it should not be them."

"That's right, we have been monitoring the movements of the Witch Clan from the beginning, and there is no trend of them coming in this direction."

"Even if they were to come, if they were only occupying the land, they would not be slaughtering and abducting our Dragon Race kin on such a large scale."

The East Sea Dragon King nodded, then spoke directly.

"I have actually thought of someone."

Everyone was curious; who could have caused this?

After only a moment, the East Sea Dragon King pointed his finger toward the sky.

The result of who this was went without saying.

It must be the people from the Heavenly Court.

After all, they were the only ones who had recently received an offer of amnesty from the Heavenly Court.

Di Jun, having been rejected, must certainly have other ideas in mind.

I never expected them to be so underhanded.

"This matter is still just our speculation; we should keep a close watch on it recently. It ought to be those people from the Demon Race."

"If it were the Witch Clan, those fellows would certainly have appeared out in the open, bold and direct."

After all, everyone knows the Witch Clan's style of conduct.

Although they enjoy consuming Blood Food, they have always been upright and aboveboard.

After all, that group of people are all brutes, true brutes.

Thinking of this, the East Sea Dragon King looked toward the Heavenly Court.

The reason they could not immediately suspect the Witch Clan was because Di Jun had once issued a decree.

This had resulted in such a scenario being impossible.

It was just that as for the place he wanted to find, to this day, he had not found any trace of it.

However, he could only continue; if he were to give up on this as well, then the future of the Dragon Race might truly be grim.

Although he did not know if this was a solution, he was truly unwilling to give up without trying.

Immediately after looking at the situation before him.

While the Dragon Race was searching for their missing kin here, the Witch Clan was even more baffled, as dragon corpses were constantly appearing out of thin air within their territory.

They had absolutely no interest in these corpses.

They were not vultures; such things that had been dead for a long time were not worth them opening their mouths for.

They still looked at these corpses with a bit of curiosity, not knowing where exactly they had come from.

Zhuo Jiuyin was the most annoyed at this moment.

His territory had the most dragon corpses.

When Zhu Rong arrived at Zhuo Jiuyin's territory at this time, he could not help but say:

"Zhuo Jiuyin, I never expected you to be hunting the Dragon Race. It couldn't be that you think you look a bit like the Dragon Race, so you want to kill some dragons and turn yourself into one, right!"

Zhuo Jiuyin, holding Fire Essence in his mouth, was immediately quite angry and said:

"I think you are just looking for a fight. Laozi is of the authentic Pangu lineage; I disdain becoming something like that."

Zhu Rong spoke directly in response:

"Pah, aren't you called the Candle Dragon by others outside? Putting on airs."

"I think you just aren't as handsome as the Dragon Race, so you're doing this on purpose."

Zhuo Jiuyin's fur stood on end instantly. He was an Ancestor Witch; to be mocked like this, who could stand it?

"You old thief, stop slandering me! Laozi is Zhuo Jiuyin, the Time Ancestor Witch!"

"If you speak again, it means you want to fight. As if you, this red-haired monster, look so good."

"Look at yourself—beast head and human body, covered in red scales, fire snakes piercing your ears, stepping on fire dragons. Is that supposed to look good?"

Zhu Rong said, completely unconcerned:

"That is still better than you, with a human head and dragon body, entirely crimson—neither human nor snake, looking like a mess."

Instantly, Zhuo Jiuyin exploded and lunged at Zhu Rong before him.

Di Jiang, who was on the side, walked over at this moment. Looking at the two of them, he could not help but say:

"Stop fighting! Now is not the time for fighting!"

Hearing this, everyone stopped their hands.

They then arrived before Di Jiang.

They all ceased their movements.

"Elder Brother, what is the matter?"

Di Jiang looked at the pile of dragon corpses before him, frowning.

"Were these dragons truly not killed by anyone within our clan?"

The group of Ancestor Witches all shook their heads. Then, Ju Mang walked out and said:

"We have been expanding across the continent and have not yet begun to expand into the seas, so it is impossible for this to be our doing."

"Moreover, if we were to slaughter the Dragon Race and engage in magical combat, we would all be able to sense it."

"These dragon corpses appeared out of thin air; it is impossible for our clansmen to have done this."

"Furthermore, if our Witch Clan captures Blood Food, we do not kill it immediately, but only when we are ready to eat. These are merely dragon corpses; it does not fit the conduct of our Witch Clan."

Hearing this, the more Di Jiang listened, the more uneasy he felt in his heart.

"I have a feeling that something is about to happen!"
