At the border between the Eastern Sea and the Southern Sea, Azure Ox looked at Daoist Tongtian with some concern.
"Master Tongtian, are you all right...?"
At that moment, Tongtian was leisurely tapping a fish drum. Beneath the ancient, pleasing Dao tones lay hidden Dao resonances and concepts of healing, restoration, repair, and more.
"It is nothing. Compared to me, the Dragon King's injuries are certainly worse. We will go straight to the Southern Sea Dragon Palace now."
After saying this, Tongtian spoke no more. His clash with the Eastern Sea Dragon King earlier had been inevitable. Though the dragon race and Yu Chen stood on the same side when it came to opposing the Heavenly Emperor,
the question of how much standing each side held in this matter was another matter worth careful consideration.
Perhaps the Eastern Sea Dragon King did not care about the height or extent of that standing, but the dragon race certainly had to care. Thus, a confrontation between the two sides had been difficult to avoid.
Multitasking, Tongtian tapped the fish drum, refined his treasure, and recovered from his injuries, all while silently calculating the strength of the dragon race in his heart.
When the Dragon King and I clashed just now, Yu Chen only brought forth four swords, while I remained the one controlling them. The Dragon King, meanwhile, merely used the status and power he himself possessed.
Judging by that display, the Dragon King's own power and status were slightly inferior to mine. But he is both the head of the dragon race and the Eastern Sea Dragon King. With the blessing of those two statuses, he must surpass me.
