Massaging Wangshu! Ji Meng Tries to Persuade the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas!

Penglai Immortal Island was shrouded in immortal mist.

A faint fragrance permeated the Pure Life Dao Palace.

Ling Xiao stood before the Jade Couch. Ripples appeared on his usually composed face as hot blood surged through his chest and veins, and he could not help swallowing.

Wangshu lay lazily on the Jade Couch, her slender waist dipping slightly inward, her long jade-like legs gleaming as they rested casually crossed together.

She turned to look at Ling Xiao, shyness and a trace of anticipation appearing on her pretty face. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her lips curled upward ever so faintly.

"Ling Xiao, show me your shoulder-kneading and leg-pounding skills!"

Wangshu parted her red lips, her breath fragrant as orchids.

She looked playful and enchanting, gentle yet bashful, and her gaze gradually turned hazy.

What old cadre could withstand a test like this? If Wangshu were not a Great Being at the middle stage of the Golden Immortal of Hunyuan realm, far above me in cultivation, then today would not be as simple as kneading shoulders and pounding legs.

Ling Xiao thought to himself, though his eyes remained clear and deep.

He suppressed the lust rising within him.

"Wangshu, this Daoist is starting..."

Ling Xiao's hands trembled slightly, but he sat down at the edge of the Jade Couch without hesitation.

What followed!

The immortal mist continuously gathered, while only drops of fragrant sweat fell from Wangshu's fair skin.

Beneath the East Sea Abyss, undercurrents churned.

A magnificent and resplendent palace stood in the center of the abyss.

This was the East Sea Dragon Palace!

Within the main hall, all manner of treasures gleamed. Four burly Daoists sat upon their thrones, with the East Sea Dragon King, Ao Guang, seated at their head.

He wore an indigo brocade robe embroidered with lifelike wave patterns. His dragon face was solemn and majestic, his dragon horns stood tall like pines, and his long dragon whiskers drifted elegantly. The aura around him inspired awe.

The other three were equally extraordinary, the Dragon Kings of the other three seas.

Ao Qin, Ao Run, and Ao Shun!

Ao Guang's expression grew serious as he said solemnly, "During the Lich Tribulation, we followed Heaven's Mandate and made the Dragon Clan the totem of the human race. Thus, we gained some Heavenly Dao Luck, which helped the Dragon Clan break free of the Heavenly Dao's shackles."

"Now, the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation is about to descend. The various sects are openly and secretly contending, while the Heavenly Dao Sages stand opposed to one another. We must choose a faction. Only then will we have a chance to gain more luck and merit, cleanse our karma, and wash away our sins."

"My worthy brothers, what are your thoughts?"

During the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, the three clans had battled for supremacy.

After the Primordial Dragon fell, the Dragon Clan had suppressed the Four Seas. Countless Dragon Clan elders had followed one after another into the East Sea Spring Eye, burying themselves there to earn merit for the Dragon Clan and repay the karmic debt incurred during the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation.

Now, Ao Guang saw an opportunity.

The Demon Court had been reestablished, and the Golden-Winged Great Peng had used immense luck to grant the Phoenix Clan freedom. Why could the Dragon Clan not give it a try?

Of course, Ao Guang would not repeat the same mistake and let the Dragon Clan meet the same fate as the Phoenix Clan.

Hearing this, Ao Qin slowly said, "By conventional reasoning, the Dragon Clan should choose one of the Sage sects. But after seeing what the Great Emperor of the Azure Radiance has done, this king believes we should join the Heavenly Court."

"Moreover, when the Jade Emperor and Yaochi had just taken control of the Heavenly Court, they sent Venus Tai Bai to invite the Dragon Clan to ascend. But for various reasons, we declined their goodwill."

"Now that Ling Xiao is valued by Dao Ancestor Hongjun and has forged good ties with Yuanshi Tianzun and the Two Sages of the West, the Heavenly Court's orthodox status will only become more firmly established!"

After he finished speaking, everyone exchanged glances.

Then they began discussing the matter in earnest.

The smiles on their faces grew broader, as though they could already see the day the Dragon Clan broke free from the Heavenly Dao's shackles.

"My worthy brothers' thoughts coincide perfectly with this Daoist's plans! In fact, before inviting you to the East Sea Dragon Palace for this discussion, I made a trip to the East Sea Spring Eye to seek the counsel of the Dragon Clan's sages."

"They believe that the Dragon Clan must no longer dream of dominating the Primordial Wilderness. Only by following the Heavenly Dao can we welcome a sliver of opportunity..."

Ao Guang hesitated for a moment before revealing what he had been keeping to himself.

Ao Qin, Ao Run, and Ao Shun looked at one another, but quickly understood. The three erupted with the aura of peak Golden Immortals of Grand Dao and pounced on Ao Guang with bared fangs and claws, wicked grins on their faces.

"Don't come any closer!"

Ao Guang looked horrified and hurriedly tried to rise from his throne.

As the leader of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, was his life easy?

"Hehe... Ao Guang, you actually dared deceive us. Then don't blame your brothers for showing no mercy. After all these tens of thousands of years, your hide must have been itching for a beating..."

Ao Shun grinned and charged forward.

For a time, Ao Guang was utterly disheveled and miserable. Had his dragon body not been so powerful, his blood and qi would have already roiled, leaving him with internal injuries.

"Reporting to the Dragon Kings, Demon Saint Ji Meng and Dingguang Immortal of the Sect of Interception request an audience!"

Prime Minister Turtle rushed into the Dragon Palace and immediately saw Ao Guang pinned beneath the other three, his face bruised and swollen, utterly devoid of the dignity expected of the East Sea Dragon King.

Prime Minister Turtle was not surprised by this sight.

Though the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas were not blood relatives, they had cultivated together since childhood and were closer than true brothers.

Their minds were united, and all of them possessed peak Golden Immortal of Grand Dao cultivation. If they employed the Dragon Clan's secret arts, even a Golden Immortal of Grand Dao would suffer at their hands.

"The visitors come with ill intent!"

"Although Demon Saint Ji Meng carries traces of our Dragon Clan bloodline, he is fundamentally a Primordial God. Now that he has come to our East Sea Dragon Palace, his purpose is surely far from pure."

"And Dingguang Immortal is the Sect of Interception's jinx!"

Ao Guang frowned as he spoke to the other three.

During the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, countless members of the Dragon Clan had died throughout heaven and earth. Demon Saint Ji Meng had devoured the pure bloodlines of Dragon Clan members, so he did have ties to them.

However, the Dragon Clan and Demon Clan had always kept out of each other's way. Who knew what sinister scheme Demon Saint Ji Meng was plotting?

"Big Brother is right. Neither of those two is any good!"

"Especially Dingguang Immortal. He fed Sect Master Tongtian slanderous words and forced the Great Emperor of the Azure Radiance to sever karma with the Sect of Interception. From that moment onward, the Sect of Interception began to decline. Calling him a jinx would not be an exaggeration!"

Ao Qin's expression was grave as he paced through the center of the hall, his emotions churning.

They had just been preparing to join the Heavenly Court, and Demon Saint Ji Meng and Dingguang Immortal had arrived. Was this not simply adding to their troubles?

"Fine, let us see them!"

Ao Guang shook his head and returned to his throne.

A moment later!

Ji Meng and Dingguang Immortal entered the East Sea Dragon Palace and appeared before the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas. At Ao Guang's invitation, the two took seats on thrones at the side of the hall.

Ji Meng wore Dark Water Armor. His tall body seemed to contain world-destroying power, and the aura of a peak Quasi-Sage leaked out unconsciously, making the entire East Sea Dragon Palace tremble slightly.

"Senior Ji Meng, Dao Friend Dingguang Immortal, may I ask why you have come to our Dragon Clan?"

Ao Guang narrowed his eyes, then deliberately spoke with warmth and frankness.

The moment Demon Saint Ji Meng appeared, he had given the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas a show of force.

A trace of humiliation rose in Ao Guang's heart.

Since when could the Dragon Clan be bullied by others at will?

Ji Meng remained expressionless and replied calmly, "The Dragon Clan is one of the great clans of the Primordial Wilderness. How can you remain despondently hidden in the East Sea Abyss for so long? When the Primordial Dragon, Candle Dragon, and the others were still alive, the Dragon Clan had swept through half the Primordial Wilderness."

"I came today to help the Dragon Clan break free from the Heavenly Dao's shackles, regain its prominence in the world of the Primordial Wilderness, and let the other races see the divine might of the Dragon Clan!"

"With the Demon Court's luck supporting you and the protection of Sect Master Tongtian and Nuwa, the Dragon Clan will surely accomplish great things."

The Phoenix Clan was completely finished.

If the Demon Court wished to grow stronger, it could only bring the Dragon Clan under its command.

That way, the Demon Court would have enough confidence to contend with the Heavenly Court at critical moments, vie for that elusive Heavenly Dao Luck, and prove that the Demon Court was the true orthodox force of the Heavenly Dao!

Seeing this, Dingguang Immortal also smiled and added, "This Daoist is a Sage's disciple, and Junior Brother Lu Ya is likewise valued by our master. His command of the Demon Court represents our Sect of Interception."

"If the Dragon Clan is willing to join the Demon Court, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas may all serve as its pillars. At the same time, you may send Dragon Clan descendants to Golden Turtle Island to become disciples under a Sage. What do you all think?"

In Dingguang Immortal's view, the Dragon Clan had long since declined.

Countless Dragon Clan ancestors had entered the East Sea Spring Eye, leaving the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas in command of the Four Seas. They were merely peak Golden Immortals of Grand Dao cultivators, not even worth mentioning before the Demon Court.

If he granted Dragon Clan descendants the chance to become Sect Master Tongtian's disciples, would the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas not bow in worship and obediently submit?

Unexpectedly!

The next moment, Ao Guang said calmly, "Senior Ji Meng, Dao Friend Dingguang Immortal, our Dragon Clan appreciates your goodwill. Please forgive us..."
