"Could it be that the Ice Saint is truly not worried about my Void Ancient Dragon Tribe joining forces with the Soul Hall to deal with the Langya Pavilion?"

Even now, the North Dragon King is still trying to scare Xiao Han.

"You can try!" Xiao Han said coldly.

"To go... or not to go!"

"If you still don't know what's good for you, I won't mind making the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe lose a Dragon King!" Xiao Han said murderously, and the surrounding space cracked as his aura exploded.

"Hmph!" The North Dragon King tensed up. He could sense that Xiao Han's words were true; if he didn't leave now, he probably wouldn't be able to escape. He still wanted to live and compete for the Dragon Emperor's throne!

"Then I, the King, will have to experience the Ice Saint's skills again in the future! Farewell!" The North Dragon King refused to back down.

"Retreat!"

With a wave of his hand, the North Dragon King took the lead and left, followed closely by the few remaining experts from the Three Great Dragon Islands, fearing that Xiao Han might stop them if he was displeased.

"We are deeply grateful for the help of the Ice Saint. Eastern Dragon Island is extremely grateful!" After everything settled down, Zhu Li stepped forward to express his gratitude.

Even if Xiao Han doesn't make a move this time, the North Dragon King, out of fear of the reclusive experts on Eastern Dragon Island, will not truly exterminate them all.

But Zhu Li was also well aware that heavy losses were inevitable.

Xiao Han's move instantly reversed the balance of power, not only causing the North Dragon King to retreat with zero losses, but also inflicting heavy casualties on the Three Great Dragon Islands.

Such a great kindness cannot be repaid!

If Zhu Li hadn't known that the other party already had a family, she would have considered introducing her mischievous granddaughter to the Ice Saint. Given the latter's strength, it wouldn't have been an insult to her.

"What should we do with these people from the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe?" Xiao Han didn't answer, but pointed to the ice sculpture not far away.

"Hmm?" Zhu Li asked, puzzled. "Weren't they dead?"

Looking at those lifelike ice sculptures, coupled with the Extreme Ice Dou Qi of the legendary Ice Saint from the mainland, one would probably feel as if their blood had been frozen into ice shards.

How can this person survive?

"Death?" Xiao Han glanced at Zhu Li, then curled his lip.

"I wouldn't kill so many people for no reason. Sometimes, being alive is more important than being dead! No matter who it is!"

He was, to some extent, a member of the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe, so it wasn't appropriate for him to overstep his bounds and handle the matter.

"Are you planning to lock them up or actually kill them?" Xiao Han asked.

"This..." Zhu Li hesitated now.

If they had really died back then, it would have been easier for him; he could have just dug a pit in the Dragon Tomb and buried them.

But these guys are still alive!

Since that's the case, we definitely can't just kill him directly.

Although Zhu Li hated the Three Great Dragon Kings, he did not have any deep hatred for these ordinary Ancient Void Dragon Clan.

They were just making a living under the Three Great Dragon Kings; in the power struggles at the top, those at the bottom were always the ones being manipulated.

But even if he didn't kill them, Zhu Li didn't want to just let them go. Should he release these Void Ancient Dragons and then continue attacking Eastern Dragon Island?

Zhu Li isn't that foolish.

Lock them up? There are too many prisoners this time, and there aren't enough cells! We'll need to find someone to guard them.

Fortunately, these Void Ancient Dragons of the Void were all quite powerful, so they didn't need to be fed. Otherwise, Zhu Li would have had to worry about the cost of their food.

For a moment, Zhu Li was caught in a dilemma.

"How about I give you some advice?" Xiao Han couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Zhu Li's conflicted expression.

"Please enlighten me Ice Saint!" Zhu Li immediately bowed and begged for guidance.

The Ice Saint was able to transform the Langya Pavilion, which was once just a relatively powerful first-rate force, into Super faction in just a hundred years.

This is not only due to the Ice Saint's great strength, but also because his strategy for managing his forces must be extremely ingenious. He would certainly not let go of such guidance from such a powerful figure.

"Do you want the Three Great Dragon Islands to redeem the dragon themselves?" Xiao Han didn't actually have any fancy tricks. He taught Zhu Li the methods he used to extort the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan and the Soul Hall.

I dare not recruit them, I don't want to kill them, and I can't easily imprison them...

So we have no choice but to put it back, right?

This is a perfect opportunity to make them bleed. He's not worried that the Three Great Dragon Islands won't cooperate!

The Void Ancient Dragon is not a force like the Soul Hall; it has always been known for its cold-hearted nature.

If any of the Three Great Dragon Kings dared to abandon these captured Void Ancient Dragon, their forces would be extremely difficult to manage. Disloyalty among the subordinates would be the least of their worries. At that time, Eastern Dragon Island might actually be very happy!

Even if they were redeemed, the Three Great Dragon Kings might still worry about whether any of them had been turned against them, so they wouldn't dare to use them for the time being.

"That's the only way." After thinking for a long time, Zhu Li also agreed with the suggestion.

And he secretly made up his mind to fleece those Three Great Dragon Kings and squeeze them dry!

"I wonder what it is that the Ice Saint needs my Eastern Dragon Island's help with?" Zhu Li was very concerned about what Xiao Han had said when he first confronted the North Dragon King.

It seemed that this Ice Saint needed something from their Eastern Dragon Island, and that only Eastern Dragon Island could do this.

Otherwise, the other party would not have rejected the North Dragon King's proposal so decisively.

Zhu Li didn't deceive himself into thinking Eastern Dragon Island was any better. Its reputation as the weakest island was clearly earned over the years.

They were all Void Ancient Dragon, and the Three Great Dragon Kings were much stronger than them, almost completely overwhelming them.

He really didn't understand what it was about Eastern Dragon Island that attracted this top expert from the Central Plains Super faction, making him risk offending the Three Great Dragon Kings of the other three islands and a large number of Void Ancient Dragon experts.

However, since they came to help him, Zhu Li wanted to have a clear understanding of the situation beforehand.

"I've already said it, you, the Third Elder, can't handle this matter!" Xiao Han said calmly.

"However, I can tell you this..."

"Your Eastern Dragon Island will definitely not suffer losses. As long as this matter succeeds, Eastern Dragon Island will be able to have the power to overpower the other three islands."

Zhu Li's eyes narrowed, and a monstrous wave surged within him.

He didn't think Xiao Han was just bored and making fun of him. Since the other party dared to say that, it was probably true.

However, what followed was a deep sense of doubt. He had no doubt about the strength of the Ice Saint, but even if he was a genius, he was still Human Race!

It is a completely different cultivation system from Magical Beast. Human Race can independently create cultivation techniques, Dou Techniques, and so on, and have a strong ability to pave the way.

Unlike Magical Beast, they need high-level bloodlines and the legacy of their ancestors. For them, innovation is as difficult as climbing to the sky!

So where does this person get the confidence to make their strength increase so dramatically?

Noticing Zhu Li's skeptical look, Xiao Han didn't care; facts speak louder than words.

He didn't believe that his words alone could make Zhu Li, this old dragon who had lived for countless years, unconditionally trust him.

He didn't want to go through all that trouble; wouldn't it be better to just go directly to Zhu Kun?

However, Zhu Kun's strength as Peak Dou Sheng was too terrifying, and he had been trapped in the Ancient Emperor Cave Abode for tens of thousands of years, so his mind was probably in trouble. It was highly likely that they would fight when they first met.

Xiao Han's cultivation level was far inferior, and the Underground Magma World clashed severely with his ice attribute, which would significantly weaken his combat power. He was also not the type of person who was good at speed.

If you really face them there, there's no escape!

Therefore, finding Eastern Dragon Island and Zi Yan's Dragon Emperor is crucial. The former can make Zhu Kun more agreeable, while the latter can persuade him to cooperate.
