Moved to Tears, So Touching

The dying Dragon King stepped forward to save his subordinates.

This scene was so moving, so tear-jerking.

If it were a Dao companion instead, it would be the Dragon King's return—the blue-gold dragon eyes rippling with coldness. This was a genuine Dragon King~~

"..."

What Dragon King's return? What genuine?

The Three Pure Ones were full of question marks.

A Dragon King was a Dragon King, a proper official position. How could there possibly be a fake one?

As for moving and tear-jerking...

Mm.

They could not see it.

They could not relate.

Still, this Azure Dragon could indeed be considered an ancestor of the Dragon Clan. At the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, he had risked himself to save two golden flood dragons.

Not bad.

However.

Whether they could relate or not was beside the point.

Since Zhou Qingqing had said it was moving and tear-jerking, it seemed somewhat unreasonable for them to keep pursuing the faults of a dying dragon.

Supreme Pure Laozi glanced at Tongtian, then slowly spoke.

"How about this, Azure Dragon? We can let you take these two ancient golden flood dragons away."

"However, you will need to exchange the Eastern Azure Lotus Precious Color Banner, Southern Ground-Severing Flame Light Banner, Northern Mysterious Origin Water-Control Banner, and Central Wu Earth Apricot Yellow Banner."

"Of course, not necessarily all four. One, two, or treasures of equivalent value will do."

Oh? Eldest Master, so you're the warm and caring type.

Everyone's totally misunderstood your ruthlessness.

If anyone says you're heartless in the future, I'll be the first to disagree. Even at a time like this, you're still thinking of your disciple who has difficulty breaking through the Five Elements.

So moving, so tear-jerking...

Jade Pure Yuanshi's eyelid twitched slightly.

He had suffered from being unable to make the decision.

With his eldest brother present, he could not overstep his bounds and make this decision on behalf of his third brother.

If Azure Dragon truly possessed one of the Innate Five Directional Banners, then his authority as Second Master would face a grave challenge.

Trading spiritual treasures is fine. Isn't it just a top-grade postnatal killing spiritual treasure? Little Junior Sister, Senior Sister will personally forge you a huge pair of scissors someday. We don't want the Golden Dragon Shears!

Tongtian's expression shifted.

His disciple changed her tune quickly.

Still, her judgment was not wrong.

No matter what, the Golden Dragon Shears were merely a top-grade postnatal killing spiritual treasure. There were plenty of ways to find a replacement for them.

If Azure Dragon truly had that sincerity, he also agreed with his eldest brother's proposal.

His gaze sharpened as he swept it over the three dragons before him.

"My eldest brother's intentions are mine as well. If you truly wish to live, then you must use these spiritual treasures in exchange."

"Dragon King Azure Dragon, don't! The two of us are not worth you giving up spiritual treasures to save us!"

The two golden flood dragons kowtowed toward Azure Dragon, but their very words exposed the fact that Dragon King Azure Dragon truly possessed spiritual treasures.

Tsk tsk, what pig teammates. Now there isn't even an excuse left to brush this off.

But Azure Dragon really does have something? That's quite a surprise.

Zhou Qingqing had scarcely seen any record of Azure Dragon appearing in the Primordial World, so she truly knew rather little about him.

Azure Dragon swept his dragon robe, and a banner immediately unfurled, its surface embroidered with lifelike azure lotuses.

"The Eastern Azure Lotus Precious Color Banner. This is my Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. You must have noticed clues about this spiritual treasure from the spell I cast."

"I will give this banner to you."

The Three Pure Ones' expressions remained unchanged, as if they had long seen through the truth.

Wow, so my three masters had already seen through Azure Dragon's spell. I was the only one with such low cultivation who failed to notice.

That makes sense. Even if Second Master and Third Master couldn't see through it, Eldest Master must have had everything under control long ago.

I underestimated my three masters too much.

Seeing that Zhou Qingqing was about to place yet another inexplicable halo upon him, Supreme Pure Laozi hurriedly stopped maintaining his composure and spoke quickly.

"Azure Dragon, we indeed need the Eastern Azure Lotus Precious Color Banner you have produced."

"But do you think that a single Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure is enough to make up for your offense?"

"You used the might of a Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal to pressure us. You should have died for that in the first place. If you die and your Dao vanishes, the Eastern Azure Lotus Precious Color Banner will belong to us anyway."

"This spiritual treasure alone is not worth enough."

That was indeed true.

Zhou Qingqing could not help making a sound of agreement.

Looks are looks, value is value. They can't be lumped together.

And you used such an arrogant attitude to make those threatening remarks. You scared us, so the compensation for emotional damages absolutely cannot be less.

"Of course I understand that."

Azure Dragon paused briefly.

"The Southern Ground-Severing Flame Light Banner is at the southern Undying Fire Mountain, in the hands of Primal Phoenix, the leader of the Phoenix Clan."

"The Northern Mysterious Origin Water-Control Banner is indeed in the hands of our Dragon Clan. However, our Dragon Clan needs this banner to unify the currents of the Four Seas. It concerns the rise and fall of the Dragon Clan itself, so I cannot hand it over."

"I have twelve Sea-Calming Divine Pearls here. They are also top-grade spiritual treasures. I hope they can replace the Northern Mysterious Origin Water-Control Banner in this exchange. Would that be acceptable?"

Oh, the Southern Ground-Severing Flame Light Banner is with Primal Phoenix? That makes perfect sense. As the leader of the Phoenix Clan, Primal Phoenix did not die, but went to suppress Undying Fire Mountain. When my masters have time someday, they might make a trip south and obtain that spiritual treasure.

The Northern Mysterious Origin Water-Control Banner really is in the Dragon Clan's hands.

But judging by Azure Dragon's attitude, the Dragon Clan truly will not bring out this spiritual treasure.

The balance of the Four Seas concerns the ocean currents and water-element cycle of the entire Primordial World. It really would be difficult to take back the Northern Mysterious Origin Water-Control Banner.

Zhou Qingqing's cultivation was indeed somewhat slower without the Innate Five Directional Banners.

But she could not possibly do something that would disrupt the water-element cycle of the entire Primordial World because of herself.

Forget it. Difficult is difficult. I'm lying low in Eastern Kunlun anyway. I'll eventually gather them all.

The Three Pure Ones could not help sighing as they heard Zhou Qingqing's thoughts.

They had guessed that Zhou Qingqing harbored such a desire to slack off, yet they truly could not say anything.

With that excuse, they could not even bring themselves to urge her onward.

Zhou Qingqing had naturally already made up her mind to slack off.

Yet she directly heard Azure Dragon prepare to offer twelve Sea-Calming Divine Pearls as a substitute for the Northern Mysterious Origin Water-Control Banner.

The Three Pure Ones sighed inwardly. The Sea-Calming Divine Pearls were indeed water-attributed spiritual treasures, but they wanted the Northern Mysterious Origin Water-Control Banner because it shared Zhou Qingqing's origin and suited her perfectly.

They were not truly trying to seize treasures.

Tongtian immediately wanted to speak and state his position.

Yet in the next instant, a delighted thought rang out once more.

Twelve Sea-Calming Divine Pearls are actually in Azure Dragon's hands. Can't these replace the Northern Mysterious Origin Water-Control Banner?

No, twelve truly aren't enough to replace it.

But Third Master will obtain another twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls before long. With all thirty-six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls complete, they will be more than enough to replace the Northern Mysterious Origin Water-Control Banner.
