After doing some self-study,
Full of confidence, Candle Dragon headed towards the East Sea, and soon appeared before Wu Tian and the others, transforming into a phantom shadow...
Seeing this,
Ao Guang naturally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sudden lightness, and secretly muttered to himself:
"Even the patriarch has arrived..."
"Then there shouldn't be any problems, right?"
The instant the Candle Dragon appeared, Xuan Ming's figure flashed, directly blocking Wu Tian's front and behind Wu Tian.
A cold, icy gaze fell upon Candle Dragon!
There's a saying that if things don't go your way, you can just start a fight...
This left Candle Dragon speechless, and he became even more convinced that the reputation of the Witch Clan as reckless and irritable was indeed true. He immediately lowered his stance even further.
"Old Dragon greets the two Ancestral Witch!"
"Greetings, Golden Mother Yuyou!"
Seeing Xuan Ming's subconscious movement, Wu Tian felt both amused and touched, secretly thinking to himself:
You might not be able to beat me now!
Then, he gently patted Xuan Ming's back, quietly reassuring him with a whispered message, and leaned out from behind Xuan Ming, saying with a smile:
"You are Candle Dragon?"
"I've heard so much about you!"
As he spoke, his gaze swept over Candle Dragon, scrutinizing him closely. The light in his eyes startled Candle Dragon, giving him a faint sense of unease.
Why does this Witch Clan seem a bit different?
Something feels off...
Then Wu Tian chuckled softly:
" Candle Dragon Yuyou is indeed powerful. He defeated East King Duke without shedding a drop of blood and even Fortune of the Celestial Court to diminish the evil power of the Dragon Clan!"
Candle Dragon a chill run down his spine.
He quickly waved his hand, about to deny it immediately, but Wu Tian didn't give him the chance at all, directly stating without any questioning:
"Alright..."
"Our Witch Clan has always acted decisively. We won't discuss whether there are any other issues or not; today, we're here to help the Golden Mother reclaim the Gongyu's property!"
Then his eyes gleamed as he looked intently at Candle Dragon.
" Candle Dragon Yuyou..."
Do you accept this Karma or not?
What else could Candle Dragon say?
A quick glance revealed the shared hatred in the eyes of the Golden Mother, her anger almost palpable, and the Xuan Ming, who seemed eager to start a war immediately...
Wu Tian Tian's attitude made Candle Dragon feel extremely frustrated, as if all the ideas and strategies he had in mind were useless!
He had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"We Dragon Clan accept it!"
"But..."
The word "but" had barely left his lips when Wu Tian interrupted Wu Tian again, chuckling as he said:
"Just accept it!"
"Don't worry, our Witch Clan never bullies anyone. We're just here to collect a debt..."
Then they stopped watching Candle Dragon altogether.
His gaze shifted directly to the Queen Mother of the West, and he asked with a light laugh:
"Friend Yu, with so much evil energy from the Dragon Clan upon you, plus the loss of half of the Celestial Court's Fortune, do you calculate... how much the Dragon Clan should compensate you?"
The Queen Mother of the West understood upon hearing this.
She then raised her slender fingers and began to calculate in front of everyone, leaving behind afterimages like blooming lotus flowers, her expression serious...
Candle Dragon was dumbfounded.
this...
This is completely different from what he expected!
From the moment he arrived at the scene, Wu Tian didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and started calculating the accounts on his own!
It is said that the Witch Clan is straightforward.
Is this all there is to being straightforward?
At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West lowered her hand, and with a hint of disgust, spoke to Candle Dragon:
"Logically speaking..."
"Even if you sold your entire Dragon Clan, you wouldn't be able to save half of the Celestial Court's Fortune. But I pity you and your Ancestral Dragon friend, and you have devoted your life to the Dragon Clan, so I will spare your life!"
"Compensate me with two items worth the value of Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, and this Karma will be settled..."
The words fell.
Candle Dragon panicked immediately!
Two items?
Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure?
Wouldn't that mean taking out two magical Spiritual Treasure of the same level as the Twelfth Grade White Lotus of World Purification? Leaving aside whether the Dragon Clan even has them, this would be a massive financial drain!
" Golden Mother's Friend..."
"My Dragon Clan has been reduced to this state. The old dragon is only able to survive by suppressing the sea eye. How could we possibly afford such compensation?"
"I hope my friend will forgive me!"
After hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West...
He snorted coldly, looking as if he had known it all along, and then turned his gaze to Wu Tian without saying a word!
Wu Tian smiled inwardly.
Candle Dragon specifically mentioned his duty to suppress the sea eye because he was worried that the Witch Clan would act recklessly and without regard for the consequences once they got carried away.
So you want to make this clear specifically?
At this moment, Candle Dragon also turned pale. Among the three, Wu Tian was the one who was truly speaking. Immediately, a thought struck him, and though his face remained sorrowful, he said to Wu Tian:
" Ancestral Witch Zijian!"
" The Dragon Clan truly cannot produce these things... If you don't believe me, I can swear to the Great God Pangu!"
Wu Tian's heart smirked even more.
You're already in this state, and you still care about the slightest backlash from your vows? You're pulling this stunt right in front of me?
However, he did not reveal his true feelings on his face.
His eyes widened suddenly, as if he had been moved by Candle Dragon, and he spoke loudly:
"Swear an oath to the Father God Pangu?"
"Then it must be true!"
Candle Dragon was overjoyed.
But at that moment, Wu Tian smiled and said:
"However... Candle Dragon Yuyou is mistaken. The Golden Mother only mentioned compensation worth two Innate Spiritual Treasure. Who said she wanted top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure?"
At this point...
Wu Tian's face showed a hint of sympathy, and he said sincerely:
" The Dragon Clan has been plundered for so long!"
"I knew before I arrived that they would be penniless... so I never even considered this possibility!"
Candle Dragon was puzzled upon hearing this.
Since that's the case...
Then why did you come to the Dragon Clan in such a menacing manner? Just to vent your dissatisfaction?
At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West spoke calmly:
"Regardless, this Karma must be repaid! But considering the situation of the Dragon Clan, I do have an idea..."
On the way to the East Sea, Wu Tian had already told the Queen Mother of the West about it. At that time, the Queen Mother of the West was curious about how the Dragon Clan would react to this...
Speaking of this point...
The Queen Mother of the West also had piercing eyes!
I almost couldn't help but smile...
"The Dragon Clan can't provide the Eastern and Western treasures, so it's not unreasonable for me to ask Dragon Clan to do me some favors, is it?"
Candle Dragon was puzzled.
But she still nodded slightly.
It's really not too much to just lend a little effort... He even thought that if he could use this to curry favor with the Queen Mother of the West, that would be a wonderful thing!
The next moment.
Candle Dragon's face turned horrified!
Only the words of the Queen Mother of the West were heard:
"I'm currently planning to refine a magical artifact called the Ten Thousand Dragons Banner. The Dragon Clan only needs to provide one million true dragons to serve within my Ten Thousand Dragons Banner for a Tribulation..."
"This Karma is now wiped clean!"
Candle Dragon was shocked, as if he had only just realized what was happening, and his shadowy body became unsteady.
"Broken..."
"They're not after the Spiritual Treasure, they're after my Dragon Clan bloodline!"
