Seeking Help in Vain, the Dragon Clan Compromised
The once peaceful primordial Primordial World was stirred up by Haotian's actions.
Even if Haotian is your puppet, so what? His identity as the Heavenly Emperor is real.
Aside from the saints and those top quasi-saints, other cultivators dared not truly ignore Haotian.
Haotian's move immediately attracted the attention of all the cultivators.
They are all paying close attention to how this matter develops.
Haotian's attack on the Dragon Clan this time was to enhance his strength and also to establish his authority through the Dragon Clan.
Many cultivators were also watching the Dragon Clan's choice.
Even if Haotian is at his worst, he is still the Lord of Heaven and Earth, a quasi -Saint Realm expert.
The current Four Dragon Kings are merely at the level of Daluo Golden Immortal.
Furthermore, bound by Karmic Debt Karma, the Great Luo is practically their limit.
Under Haotian's oppressive aura, Ao Guang's face turned pale, and his eyes revealed terror.
"My Dragon Clan has long been a member of the Heavenly Court and has been actively fulfilling its mission and responsibilities."
Why must the Heavenly Emperor press this so hard at this time!
Under the oppressive power of Haotian, Ao Guang's face showed bitterness, and he explained in a strained tone.
"Since you have already joined the Heavenly Court, you should naturally belong to my Haotian and be under my jurisdiction."
Do you have any objections?
Haotian's voice carried boundless divine power, making it almost impossible for anyone to muster the will to resist.
"My Dragon Clan did not intentionally defy the will of the Heavenly Emperor."
We had an agreement with Di Jun that although the Dragon Clan belonged to the Heavenly Court, they were not subject to Heavenly Court jurisdiction and remained independent of the Heavenly Court's system!
Ao Guang's face grew paler and paler, but he did not relent.
"Di Jun? The demon race has already fallen, and the Demon Court has long since collapsed."
Now that I am the ruler of the Heavenly Court, the Dragon Clan should naturally belong to me as well.
Today you have only two choices: submit to my command or perish.
Believe me, I have the ability and the confidence to do so.
Haotian was incredibly domineering at this moment.
He needed to be patient and compromise in front of the Sanqing, but he didn't need to be in front of the Dragon Clan.
Haotian's words turned all the Dragon Clan pale, their faces filled with terror.
It wasn't that they were unwilling to resist, but rather that they lacked the power to do so.
Under Haotian's oppressive aura, they didn't even have a chance to make a move, like true ants.
"I wonder if the Heavenly Emperor could grant us some time?"
The Heavenly Emperor also knew that although Ao Guang was the Dragon King, he could not make such a significant decision!
Suppressing his shock and anger, Ao Guang cautiously pleaded with Haotian.
"Alright, I, Haotian, am not one to kill without mercy. I'll give you a chance."
I hope you won't let me down. Next time, I won't be so easy to talk to!
Haotian did not continue to make things difficult for Ao Guang.
After saying this, Haotian led a group of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals back to the Heavenly Court.
He knew that what Ao Guang said was true; he indeed could not be the master of the Dragon Clan.
Although the Ancestral Dragon has perished, there are still some powerful individuals among the Dragon Clan.
Moreover, he didn't really want to destroy the Dragon Clan; he wanted the Dragon Clan race to submit.
He also believed that the Dragon Clan would make the right choice.
Although the Heavenly Court did not directly subdue the Dragon Clan this time, it did establish its prestige to some extent.
Even if his strength is inferior to that of the Sanqing, so what? He is the true supreme ruler of the Heavenly Court.
And this is just the beginning; there's still a long way to go.
In the future, he will become the supreme ruler of the Three Realms and the master of Heaven and Earth.
As Haotian had predicted, this powerful move made many cultivators re-evaluate Haotian and the Heavenly Court.
Apart from the saints, who can completely ignore the Heavenly Court?
Of course, many cultivators are still observing.
Whether Haotian can truly establish the Heavenly Court's authority remains to be seen, depending on the outcome of this event.
As Haotian departed, the oppressive aura above the East Sea gradually dissipated, leaving the Dragon Clan lying paralyzed on the sea surface.
Although Haotian did not directly make a move, the mere pressure of his quasi-saintly aura injured countless Dragon Clan.
Upon returning to the Dragon Palace, the Four Dragon Kings wore expressions of sorrow.
They were naturally unwilling to actually join the Heavenly Court.
Even after a long period of decline, they have never given up on restoring their former glory.
This is the obsession of all Dragon Clan.
Moreover, although Haotian is strong, they are not without the ability to fight back.
As dragon kings, they knew that the Dragon Clan was not limited to the forces they displayed on the surface.
After discussing for a moment, the Four Dragon Kings also began to take action.
Although Cihang was refining spiritual treasures, she was not entirely without insight into external affairs, and with the power of her divine sense, she witnessed the conflicts in the East Sea.
However, he has now drifted further and further away from the Dragon Clan, and whatever choices the Dragon Clan makes are none of his business.
Cihang had barely put her thoughts aside when she encountered Ao Qin, who had come to visit.
Although he severed his Karma ties with the Dragon Clan, he still had a good relationship with Ao Qin.
"Fellow Ao Qin, what brings you to my Mount Luojia at this hour?"
Seeing Ao Qin's sorrowful expression, Cihang already knew the outcome.
"Greetings, Senior Cihang. I, Ao Qin, have come here with a request. I hope you can help the Dragon Clan."
Ao Qin immediately prepared to kowtow and pay his respects to Cihang.
At the same time, many treasures appeared in front of Ao Qin.
If there were other solutions, Ao Qin would naturally not want to bother Cihang.
He had no other choice.
But Cihang was different. He believed that with Cihang's strength and status, Haotian would definitely compromise as long as he spoke.
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for that. I already know about the Dragon Clan's affairs."
But as far as I know, the Dragon Clan possesses immense resources; why would they need me to intervene?
Cihang waved his hand, stopping Ao Qin in his tracks.
"Reporting to Senior, Ao Qin has no other choice."
"Our Dragon Clan's resources lie entirely in Dragon Abyss. We have gone there to seek help, but we have not even been able to enter Dragon Abyss, nor have we received any response!"
Ao Qin's bitterness deepened; he was unaware of what changes had occurred in Long Yuan.
Having lost contact with Longyuan, the Dragon Clan has also lost its greatest asset.
It wasn't just Cihang who sought help; they had also asked other powerful individuals for assistance, but no one was willing to help them.
The same applies to Golden Ao Island in the East China Sea.
"Given my friendship with you, I shouldn't refuse."
But at that moment, I was powerless to do anything.
The Heavenly Court is ultimately the legitimate authority of Heaven and Earth, so joining the Heavenly Court is not necessarily a bad thing for the Dragon Clan!
Cihang sighed and refused Ao Qin's request.
His situation was very delicate at that moment.
If he were to intervene, he could certainly resolve the Dragon Clan's current predicament, but even he would have to pay a considerable price.
The key point is that the Dragon Clan is simply not worth him offending Haotian.
Ultimately, the Dragon Clan still failed to recognize their current identity and situation.
"It was Ao Qin who put you in a difficult position, senior!"
Upon hearing Cihang's refusal, Ao Qin's expression grew even more dejected.
However, he did not hold a grudge against Cihang because of this. The Dragon Clan had brought this upon themselves.
He had even anticipated this outcome.
After their pleas for help went unanswered, the Dragon Clan finally compromised and submitted to Haotian.
