Donghua: Are You Threatening Me!!
Daiyu Island!
At this moment, Donghua and several elders of the Giant Race were facing off, or rather, they were standing facing each other and talking in hushed tones.
"Your His Majesty King Dong, we understand the purpose of your visit, but we are unable to make a decision. Please wait a moment, Your His Majesty King Dong. Longbo has given his orders. Please forgive us!"
Donghua paid no attention, glanced at the Giant Race elders present, and finding no curse on them, slowly said, "It's alright, we can wait a bit!"
Donghua and the others started chatting, mostly about things from the ancient era, including many special sea Fierce Beasts from Fierce Beasts period.
A short while later, the Sixth Elder, who had left, came out with the First Elder.
After exchanging greetings, Donghua said, "Fellow Daoist, I don't know how the Giant Ao Clan offended your clan, but the Giant Ao Clan has now submitted to my Purple Mansion."
"Therefore, I have come today specifically to act as a peacemaker. If the Giant Ao Clan has offended us in the past, let's let it go. What do you say?"
Donghua pretended to know nothing and acted as a peacemaker!
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder's face turned grim. The worst-case scenario had come: the Giant Ao Clan had already submitted to the Purple Mansion. Could they still send troops now?
"Fellow Daoist Tai Wei, the Giant Ao Clan is merely a vassal of the Three Islands. Now, our clan needs the Giant Turtle to do something, and we hope that you can grant us this favor. Our clan will surely reward you handsomely afterward. Is this feasible?"
Donghua smiled. Was the Grand Elder of the Giant Race playing dumb? He clearly said that the Giant Ao Clan had already submitted to his command, yet he still claimed they were merely cultivating on the Three Islands. It seemed they didn't want to break ties and become his enemies.
"Fellow Daoist, the Giant Ao Clan has indeed submitted to my Purple Mansion Sect. If your clan has any unspeakable difficulties, you may speak with me, and I will consider it. Please do not bring up the matter of abandoning them again, lest it damage our harmony."
The elder of the Giant Race thought for a moment and felt that this matter would be difficult to resolve. He exchanged glances with the other elders and had a private conversation.
He then said, "The affairs of our clan are indeed difficult to discuss, and this is not the place for such matters. Why don't we invite you all inside to talk in detail? If we can reach an agreement, that would be best; if not, then so be it!"
Donghua did not refuse and rode Gouchen to follow the Giant Race into Daiyu Island.
Inside the main hall, both sides took their seats, surrounded by various Spirit Fruit and wines, and began their discussions.
The First Elder spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Giant Turtle, we deeply regret what your clan did before, but this matter concerns the future of our clan, so we had no choice but to do it."
" In the Primordial World Continent, the strong prey on the weak; you should be prepared for that."
The giant turtle glared at the people in the hall with hatred, but its heart was filled with pain, helplessness, and desolation. In the Primordial World Continent, the law of the jungle prevailed, a rule that had been in place since Pangu created the world.
Their race's strongest warriors were only Daluo Golden Immortal, while the Giant Race alone had five or six Quasi -Quasi-Saint, plus the unfathomable Longbo. How could they possibly withstand them?
If it weren't for His Majesty's presence today, they wouldn't even have had a chance to discuss things; the outcome for them would have been the destruction of their clan and the death of their people.
Thinking of this, the Giant Turtle Clan Chief said nothing, neither blaming nor questioning, but calmly looked at Donghua. Today's matter still needed His Majesty to resolve.
Donghua calmly drank a cup of spirit wine and sighed softly, "The spirit wine from your clan is truly excellent. It has both the aroma of fine wine and considerable spiritual power within it. It is truly rare."
The elder of the Giant Race raised a cup and said heartily, "Since the East King likes it, it is an honor for our race. When we leave later, we will certainly present him with some spirit wine. We hope the East King will accept it."
Donghua laughed and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony. I'm a connoisseur of fine wine, and with such exquisite liquor before me, it's truly hard to resist the temptation."
Changing the subject, he casually asked, "Where is Fellow Longbo? I am a guest here today and would like to have the pleasure of seeing your esteemed presence."
The First Elder remained calm and said unhurriedly, "The Clan Chief is currently in seclusion and will not be able to see the East King today. However, once the Clan Chief emerges from seclusion, we will certainly pay him a visit to witness the grandeur of the Immortal Dao and the prestige of the Purple Mansion."
Donghua didn't answer, but said regretfully, "That's such a pity. Back in the Western Continent, I witnessed Longbo's might in his battle against the Cursed Demon. It's truly a shame we can't see it today."
Upon hearing Donghua recount this matter, the Giant Race' expressions changed drastically. The hot-tempered Second Elder slammed his fist on the table and said, "East King Gong, since you know the whole story, what more is there to say? I'll just ask you one question: will you hand over the Giant Turtle Clan or not?"
After hearing this, Donghua slowly drank a cup of wine and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am the Second Elder of the Giant Race!"
No sooner had the man finished speaking than Donghua casually threw out a cup of wine, which flew straight at him.
The Second Elder initially didn't take it seriously, but as the wine drew closer, it felt as if the attack had locked onto his entire body. He then realized something was wrong and quickly used all his strength.
In an instant, the giant transformed into a dragon-headed, human-bodied being, unleashing a punch imbued with the power of laws, giving the impression of a single punch capable of shattering all laws.
Unfortunately, it didn't even stop them from drinking a single glass of wine.
The spilled wine was like a sharp sword, piercing through the Second Elder's fist and body, with divine blood flowing down through the hole.
The other Giant Race rose to their feet, transformed into their true forms, and confronted Donghua. The Fifth Elder helped the Second Elder to his feet and quickly began to heal his injuries.
Actually, don't be fooled by the fact that Donghua casually spilled that cup of wine; it definitely contained 80% of his strength, with the power of the Pure Yang Great Dao contained within it, launched with the power of the sword.
Fortunately, it was just wine; if the Pure Yang Sword had been used, the Second Elder would definitely be dead by now!
Donghua ignored the Giant Race, poured himself a cup of wine, and shouted sternly, "You still know you're just a Second Elder? I'm giving you face by calling you 'fellow Daoist.' If I didn't, what would you be?"
What a waste of a good glass of wine!
The Giant Race were furious at these words, but they were helpless. Their second elder was the third strongest in their tribe, yet he had been beaten half to death by a cup of wine that had been casually thrown at him. How could they possibly fight back?
The Second Elder didn't think much of what Donghua had said earlier. After all, the strong are respected, and if you're not as skilled as someone else, what can you say?
But I am a Quasi-Saint, and you actually dare to sigh over a cup of wine? That's truly an insult! In a fit of anger, I spat out a mouthful of divine blood.
The members of the Giant Ao Clan were truly moved by this scene, feeling that they had followed the right master and had finally vented their anger.
A voice suddenly rang out in the main hall. "Tai Wei Daoist Taiwei, since you're here, why bother with this? Let's talk in the back mountain!"
Donghua frowned after hearing this. You can sense a person's strength from some subtle things.
Now that Longbo's voice came, and it wasn't until it reached my ears that I could sense his location. This shows that Longbo's strength is definitely at the Late Stage Quasi-Saint, or even higher!
The Great Commander of Fate also saw through the mystery and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, the back mountain is the Longbo's sacred site, which is extremely disadvantageous to us. It would be better not to go!"
Donghua thought about it for a moment and felt that Great Commander of Fate was right, but still believed that things hadn't reached the point where they had to fight to the death.
"It's alright. Since Fellow Longbo has invited us, it would be impolite not to go. What harm is there in going?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Donghua got up and flew away, heading in the direction of the voice transmission.
When he arrived at the valley where Longbo was, he was stunned by Longbo's appearance.
"Did Longbo turn into a red-haired monster?"
Longbo spoke first, saying, "What, you can't believe it?"
Donghua shook his head, then nodded slightly, and said, "I do find it hard to believe. Although the Curse Demon is strange, it is only at the early stage of Quasi-Saint. How could it have brought the renowned Longbo to this state?"
As the two were talking, Purple Mansion and the rest of the Giant Race arrived!
Longbo sighed, "Although the Curse Demon is only at the early stage of Quasi-Saint, he possesses a Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure that is inherent to the Path of Curse. I was caught off guard and was injured by him; that treasure is still inside my body!"
After explaining his situation, Longbo changed the subject and said in a deep voice, "Tai Wei Daoist Taiwei, you are now a ruler of a region, you should understand my predicament. The Giant Turtle Clan is of great use to our clan, and we cannot cede it."
"So, for the sake of the mere Giant Turtle Clan, is the Purple Mansion prepared to fight to the death with our clan?"
Donghua remained silent for a long time, while the Giant Turtle Clan Chief behind him was extremely anxious, but dared not speak. In such a conversation between powerful figures, if he dared to interrupt, he would be killed without anyone saying a word.
"What is my cultivation level? What is my status?"
Leaving aside the giant turtle's complex feelings, Donghua thought for a moment and said in a calm tone, "The giant turtle clan has now submitted to my Purple Mansion and will never give up. If word gets out, how can I, Donghua, live with myself?"
"However, this matter doesn't come to that; it hasn't reached that point yet."
Longbo's cloudy eyes flickered. He didn't quite understand Donghua's words. He had already thought of what Dong Hua had said earlier. If Donghua really let the Giant Ao Clan be wiped out, then this person was not a threat.
However, he couldn't understand what came next, so he asked, "What insightful opinion does Fellow Tai Wei Taiwei have?"
Donghua: "Your clan is only trying to solve the curse. In fact, even if you drain the blood of the Giant Turtle Clan, it won't help. The little bit of purifying power they possess is negligible!"
Longbo changed the subject, saying, "Since you have come today, my Giant Race is unwilling to be enemies with the Purple Mansion. As long as the Giant Turtle Clan hands over the treasure that can generate purifying power to relieve our clan's predicament, my Longbo and my giant clan will surely reward you handsomely, and we are also willing to apologize for what we did before!"
Donghua shook his head and said, "The Giant Turtle Clan's spiritual treasure cannot be handed over, as it has already been offered to me."
"Fellow Daoist, for the sake of my clan, I, Longbo, would do anything."
Longbo's words were cold and devoid of any emotion, and coupled with the eerie red aura emanating from him, they created a chilling effect.
Donghua: "Are you threatening me?"
"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?"
Donghua chuckled softly, "If that's the case, I fear no threat whatsoever. If you want war, then let's fight!"
"If not, I can remove the curse of your clan!"
Donghua explained the purpose of his visit; now it's up to Longbo to decide!
