On a solitary island by the East Sea, the sea breeze gently brushed the shore as waves crashed against it.

The Green Ox lay by the water's edge, leisurely chewing on tender grass, while Shi Yu reclined comfortably beside it, using the ox as a pillow while sunbathing.

"Moo~"

"Little Master, what if there's a firefight at the East Sea Dragon Palace, what should we do?"

"Stupid, we run, of course!"

"Then... what if there's no time to run?"

The Green Ox blinked its large, bell-like eyes and asked worriedly, not even chewing the grass in its mouth.

Shi Yu rested his hands behind his head and said dismissively, "Don't worry, with my Senior Disciple Brother here, we can definitely handle it."

Upon hearing this, the Green Ox nodded in agreement. In its heart, its Little Master had always been reliable.

"Roar~"

A long, deep dragon roar suddenly sounded. A five-clawed true dragon emerged from the water, creating a massive, majestic water pillar.

In an instant, light flashed, and the true dragon transformed into a well-dressed young dragon-human.

"Big Brother, you really came!"

"I thought you wouldn't dare to come!"

Ao Guang looked at the genuine Shi Yu and said in a tone full of admiration, "Uh..."

"You look down on me that much?"

"No, no, I just wanted to confirm again!"

"Ao Guang, my friend, your Dragon Clan's business is my business!"

Shi Yu said, putting one arm around Ao Guang's shoulder and patting his chest with the other.

Seeing Shi Yu's confidence, Ao Guang secretly thought, As expected of Big Brother, he actually came. To think that the Demon Emperor and the Ten Great Demon Sages are coming today, and he still dares to show up.

"Moo~"

The Green Ox let out a low moo, carrying Shi Yu towards the East Sea Dragon Palace. Led by Ao Guang, the Dragon Prince, they proceeded unimpeded and soon arrived at the Crystal Palace.

Deep and mysterious beneath the East Sea, the East Sea Dragon Palace stood majestically. However, today it was shrouded in an atmosphere of chilling solemnity.

"Little friend Shi Yu, I didn't expect you to actually come!" the old Dragon King Ao Ren said with a smile.

"Disciple Brother Huang Long asked for my help, how could I refuse? Besides, the friendship between me and the Dragon Clan is as strong as gold."

Shi Yu said, his expression shifting. According to the customs of the Demon Clan, this kind of task would usually be assigned to a Demon Saint. It's not like the leader of the Demon Clan would come, right? That would be too idle...

Now that he was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, coupled with the home-field advantage at sea, escaping would be a piece of cake. In short, the advantage is mine!

"Good, good, good!"

"The future of the Primordial World seems to belong to you young people. I, this old dragon, must be getting old..."

The Dragon King of the East Sea said with a smile. This was the hope of the Primordial World! To dare to come even knowing the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan was arriving today was truly a courageous act.

Just then, a patrolling sea yaksha outside the Dragon Palace suddenly entered the hall to report.

"Reporting to the Dragon King!"

"The Demon Clan's Demon Saint Bai Ze has arrived outside the Crystal Palace!"

"Quick, invite him in!"

Bai Ze, dressed in white and appearing refined and elegant, walked into the hall, fanning himself.

Shi Yu and Bai Ze exchanged glances. Then, Bai Ze bowed to the Dragon King.

"Your Majesty, Dragon King!"

"Our Demon Court's lord, His Majesty the Demon Emperor, will arrive shortly. I hope Your Majesty the Dragon King will go out to greet him!"

Bai Ze said with a smile, fanning himself. If the Dragon King went out to greet the Demon Emperor, they would have the upper hand in the upcoming negotiations. If not, even better, they could directly accuse the Dragon Clan of disrespect and start a war.

"This..."

The old Dragon King was stunned, momentarily at a loss and unsure of what to do.

"Oh dear, Your Majesty, haven't your old ailments flared up again? Didn't the Tortoise Imperial Physician in the Dragon Palace forbid you from moving around?"

Shi Yu quickly interjected, secretly making a gesture to the Dragon King.

The old Dragon King understood and, taking a deep breath, began to cough violently.

Bai Ze, standing below, looked as if he was observing a performance, thinking, Pretending to be sick? Let's stall. See who gets embarrassed!

The old Dragon King, worthy of being called an old actor, put in extra effort and actually coughed up a mouthful of blood...

"Apologies, Bai Ze Demon Saint. The East Sea Dragon Palace is rather damp, and an old injury from the Dragon-Han Tribulation flared up," the old Dragon King said.

The old Dragon King put on a frail, elderly expression, and "inadvertently" revealed the bloodstain.

Not only was Shi Yu stunned by the old Dragon King's act, but even Bai Ze Demon Saint, known for his resourcefulness, was taken aback...

What the hell, you're a dragon, and you're saying the East Sea Dragon Palace is damp? Does that make any sense? It makes absolutely no sense!

No matter how smart or resourceful you are, if you're not as ruthless as the other guy, it's no use. The old Dragon King's methods are truly ruthless...

This encounter ended with Bai Ze being a step behind. Finally, the old Dragon King sent the Dragon Prince Ao Guang to welcome the Demon Emperor.

The Green Ox, which had been lying behind Shi Yu, suddenly realized something. "Young Master, did that guy just say Di Jun is coming?"

"What? Di Jun is coming?!!"

Shi Yu's heart leaped. This was bad. Why would Di Jun come? If a fight really broke out, he didn't know if he could escape. At this point, he had no choice but to use that move!

Damn Huang Long, why didn't you mention Di Jun would come in your letter? You actually lied to your Senior Disciple Brother! Just you wait until I get back, I'll turn you into an ornamental dragon!

Suddenly, a scorching breeze swept into the hall. The lights flickered instantly, and heat filled the air. The old Dragon King's body stiffened alertly, his gaze fixed intently on the hall entrance.

"His Majesty the Demon Emperor has arrived!"

Bai Ze Demon Saint bowed slightly towards the entrance of the hall, showing respect to the emperor of their Demon Clan.

Amidst a golden light, Di Jun appeared. He was tall and imposing, with golden demon patterns embroidered on his black robe that shimmered. His dark hair flew freely, embodying what it meant to be an emperor.

Behind him followed the other nine Great Demon Sages, their demonic auras surging, suppressing the atmosphere in the hall to an extreme.

The old Dragon King suppressed the unease in his heart and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty the Demon Emperor's arrival truly graces this East Sea Dragon Palace. However, with such a grand presence, are you not here with ill intentions?"

The old Dragon King scanned the Demon Sages behind Di Jun. Well, they were all Quasi-Saints. It seemed Di Jun intended to suppress the Dragon Clan today.

Di Jun's expression was grave. He said slowly, "Dragon King, you should know why I have come here today."

"The great trend of the Primordial World has changed. The rise of the Demon Clan is unstoppable. The Demon Clan must prosper, and your East Sea region should also contribute to the great cause of the Demon Clan."

The East Sea is the most respected among the Four Seas, and the Dragon King is no exception. As long as the East Sea Dragon King is taken down, the other three Dragon Kings will be no problem.

As for the Eastern Azure Dragon Realm, it is a place the Demon Clan cannot reach. The Four Saints guard the four extremities of the heavens in the Primordial World, and demons cannot and will not interfere.

The old Dragon King said coldly, "Di Jun, I advise you not to push your luck. Even a clay figurine has a temper!"

"Ao Ren, those who understand the times are wise. Those who follow our Demon Clan will prosper, and those who oppose us will perish!"

"I am speaking kindly to you because I acknowledge the Dragon Clan still has some strength. Do not refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Otherwise, our Demon Clan will ensure there are no more dragons in the Primordial World!"

Di Jun's eyes sharpened, and his demonic energy surged, causing the crystal chandeliers throughout the Crystal Palace to sway precariously.

"Absolutely impossible! At worst, we'll go to the Eastern Azure Dragon Realm!" the old Dragon King said angrily. The Eastern Azure Dragon Realm was protected by the Azure Dragon Saint Venerable, so his Dragon Clan wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

"Hahahaha, old Dragon King, you speak too lightly. Your Dragon Clan's vast foundation across the Four Seas, can you bear to abandon it?"

Di Jun laughed, confident that the Dragon Clan would not be willing to give up their foundation in the Four Seas.

A moment later, Di Jun's laughter abruptly stopped. His gaze instantly turned incredibly cold, and the temperature of the entire Crystal Palace seemed to plummet with his gaze.

"Even if your Dragon Clan has the great courage to abandon the Four Seas and go to the Eastern Azure Dragon Realm!"

"Ao Ren, do not naively believe that going to the Azure Realm will allow you to escape the sharpness of our Demon Clan."

Di Jun's voice was low and filled with pressure, echoing in the hall: "I, Di Jun, guarantee that if a single dragon appears in the Primordial World, our Demon Clan will kill a single dragon!"

The old Dragon King and the dragon generals inside and outside the Dragon Palace showed expressions of indignation.

"Young Master, I think a fight is about to break out. Let's find a way to escape, or we'll be in deep trouble..."

"Don't rush, I'm thinking..."
