Dong Wang Gong Arrives: Coercion and Temptation
Being from the same region in the East Sea, the Dong Wang Gong was quite familiar with the Dragon Clan.
With his quasi-saint level cultivation, he arrived at the Dragon Palace in no time.
"Oh!"
Looking at the empty underwater world, Dong Wang Gong let out a cold laugh.
"You Dragon Clan, living in the same East Sea, really think you can stay out of this?"
Following the flow of energy, Dong Wang Gong arrived directly in front of the Sea Eye.
Even though it wasn't my first time seeing this Sea Eye, I was still awestruck by its magnificent and terrifying presence.
Faced with this power of heaven and earth, even his quasi-saint cultivation level seemed so insignificant.
However, his purpose was not to enter the Sea Eye, but to find the East Sea Dragon Palace.
The Dong Wang Gong has discovered that a miniature dragon palace is floating in the Sea Eye.
A mysterious force protects the Dragon Palace, preventing it from being swallowed by the Sea Eye.
"As expected of one of the Ancient Three Clans, they truly possess a powerful foundation!"
The Dong Wang Gong exclaimed in admiration once more.
In order to guard the Sea Eye, the Ancestral Dragon created the Ancient Dragon Palace.
It is both the ancestral home of the Dragon Clan and the supreme treasure used to suppress the Sea Eye.
Therefore, even after it split into four, the Dragon Palace still maintained a slight connection with the Sea Eye.
This is why the Dragon King was able to hide the Dragon Palace in the Sea Eye, preventing it from being swallowed up.
"The Dong Wang Gong of the Immortal Court has come to pay a visit!"
The Dong Wang Gong spoke, his magnificent voice resounding around the Sea Eye.
It also reached the Dragon Palace in the Sea Eye.
The moment the Dong Wang Gong's voice rang out, all the cultivators in the Dragon Palace changed their expressions.
The Dragon Palace was hidden in the deep Sea Eye to avoid this chaos, but unexpectedly, the Dong Wang Gong still came.
Knowing that the Dragon Palace was located in the Sea Eye, and that even the Dong Wang Gong could not force his way in, the Dragon King of the East Sea did not respond.
I only hope that the Dong Wang Gong will back down when faced with difficulties.
"Dragon King, we've been neighbors for many years. Are you really unwilling to show yourself even a single item?"
The Dong Wang Gong's voice also turned somber.
"You think I can't do anything to you just like that?"
Seeing that he received no response, Dong Wang Gong raised his Dragon Head Divine Staff and hurled it at the dragon palace in the Sea Eye.
Although he cannot enter the Sea Eye, as long as he disrupts the balance between the Dragon Palace and the Sea Eye.
Then the East Sea Dragon Palace will probably remain forever in this Sea Eye.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
A tremendous roar echoed across the Sea Domain.
"Not good!"
Inside the Dragon Palace, the Dragon Clan changed drastically.
Under the attack of the Dong Wang Gong, the Dragon Palace has already shown signs of instability.
The Dragon Palace does indeed possess the power to suppress the Sea Eye, and may even control a portion of Sea Eye power.
But that was the complete Dragon Palace.
The East Sea Dragon Palace is now only a quarter of what it once was, and this balance could easily be disrupted.
If they were to truly sink into the Sea Eye, given their strength, there would be no way they could escape.
They hadn't expected the Dong Wang Gong to be so ruthless.
Cihang, who was in seclusion, was also awakened by the commotion and appeared in the main hall, looking at the Dong Wang Gong outside.
They originally thought the Dragon Palace was a safe place, but unexpectedly it was the first place to be affected.
However, he didn't share the Dragon King's worries. Even if the Dragon Palace really sank into the Sea Eye, he had the ability to leave.
"Is the Dragon King still unwilling to show himself?"
The Dong Wang Gong summoned back the Dragon Head Divine Staff and looked at the Dragon Palace with a threatening expression.
He didn't continue his attack, as actually knocking the Dragon Palace into the Sea Eye would not benefit him.
What he truly needs is the power of the Dragon Clan.
"Why must you press this so hard, senior? The Dragon Clan is currently too weak to participate in this great battle."
Please leave, senior!
The Dragon Palace shone with divine light, revealing the form of the Dragon King of the East Sea.
"Dragon King, you are being far too modest. Others may not know, but do you think I am unaware of the Dragon Clan's profound resources?"
If the Dragon Clan were to unleash its full power, it would be no weaker than any current force!
Upon seeing the Dragon King of the East Sea, the Dong Wang Gong's attitude immediately changed.
"Since you know the strength of my Dragon Clan, you should also know that once those ancestors made a move, it was a certain death situation."
Why do you have to make things so difficult for my Dragon Clan, senior!
The Dragon King of the East Sea looked grim, his words filled with bitterness and helplessness.
If the Dragon Clan did not have this restriction, why would they be forced into this situation?
"Foolish! You think the Dragon Clan can really avoid this, even though we're both in the East Sea?"
Given the ambitions of the Witch and Demon Clans, once my Immortal Court falls, the Dragon Clan will be next.
"Without my Immortal Court, can your Dragon Clan withstand the attack of both races?"
The Dong Wang Gong suddenly shouted a rebuke.
The Dragon King of the East Sea was speechless.
He knew that the Dong Wang Gong was right; given the ambitions of the Witch and Demon Clans, it was impossible for them to let the lands of the four seas fall into other hands.
Even in name only, it is not acceptable.
"Dragon King, it is not that I, the Dong Wang Gong, am coercing the Dragon Clan, but that your Dragon Clan has no other choice."
If you defeat the Witch and Demon Clans, I will still grant you the right to rule the four seas.
At the same time, I am also willing to share a portion of the power and fortune of heaven and earth with you to help you cleanse your Karmic Debt Karma."
After coercion, Dong Wang Gong continued to lure him with promises of merit and good fortune.
"Is what you said true, senior? Are you really willing to share the merits and fortune of the Immortal Court to help my clan cleanse its Karma?"
The Dragon King of the East Sea was indeed tempted.
Karma and Karmic Debt are the biggest obstacle to the Dragon Clan's recovery.
"It's true, of course. This is a quasi-saint's merit, enough to guarantee a Dragon Clan quasi-saint's full-force attack once."
The Dong Wang Gong directly threw a Golden Pearl of Merit, as solid as a tangible object, into the Sea Eye.
"Thank you, senior, but I am merely the Dragon King of the East Sea and cannot make such a decision."
I still need to discuss this with the other Dragon Kings. Could you please give me some time, senior?
The Dragon King excitedly accepted the Golden Pearl of Merit using the Dragon Palace Grand Formation.
With this Golden Pearl of Merit, the ancestor can indeed make a move without any hidden dangers.
However, the Dragon King still did not directly agree to the Dong Wang Gong.
"Yes, as long as the Dragon Clan is willing to help, I, the Dong Wang Gong, will certainly not treat the Dragon Clan unfairly."
I believe the Dragon Clan will make the right choice!
After offering the bait, Dong Wang Gong did not continue to coerce him.
He wanted more than just to repel the Witch and Demon Clans; he wanted to defeat them in one fell swoop.
This cannot be accomplished by the Dragon Clan alone; he will need to invite other powerful individuals.
He also believed that the Dragon Clan would make the right choice.
After seeing off the Dong Wang Gong, the Dragon King was not pleased, but instead looked at the Golden Pearl of Merit in his hand with a gloomy expression.
"Father, do we really need to ask the Ancestor for help?"
Ao Guang looked at the Golden Pearl of Merit with some excitement.
"What is your opinion on this matter, fellow Daoist? Should my Dragon Clan intervene?"
The Dragon King did not answer Ao Guang, but looked at Cihang instead.
"This matter concerns the future of the Dragon Clan, and it is not appropriate for an outsider like me to speak on it."
What you need to consider, fellow Daoist, is whether the Dong Wang Gong has any hope of victory.
If the Immortal Court truly triumphs, the Dragon Clan will naturally be able to recover its strength.
But if they lose, the Dragon Clan won't even be able to maintain its current situation!
Cihang knew that Dong Wang Gong was doomed to defeat, but he could not say it outright.
Although he had some interactions with the Dragon Clan, they could not be considered close friends.
Cihang's words brought the Dragon Clan in the hall back to their senses.
They only remember the promise made by the Dong Wang Gong, but have forgotten the current situation.
"Yes! This is a gamble for the Dragon Clan. If they lose, they will truly lose everything."
"Even the Dragon Clan can't withstand the storm!"
The Dragon King of the East Sea frowned deeply.
Although the promises made by the Dong Wang Gong Duke were tempting, the Immortal Court was far weaker than the Witch and Demon Clans.
For a moment, even the Dragon King of the East Sea was torn between his options.
