"All Kings Grand Assembly! Everyone else, shut your mouths!" Ao Cang roared. A strange power emanated from every Great Dragon King, forming an overwhelming pressure.
Everyone felt an invisible mountain suspended high in the sky. Anyone who dared act out would surely be crushed beneath it.
Jing Kai snorted coldly and said no more.
Displeasure showed on Ao Chang's face. Jing Kai was, after all, a Whale King of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace. Ao Cang's outright threat had made all the dragons of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace lose face.
The Dragon Race had always clung to its pride at all costs.
"Ao Cang, everything you've said concerns Fang Yun alone. It has nothing to do with sealing the river. Even the All Kings Grand Assembly has no authority to overrule a dignified Literary Star Dragon Noble."
Ao Cang smiled. "You misunderstand. During the All Kings Grand Assembly, any dragon may speak freely without being rebuked for his low standing. I merely expressed my opinion of the Literary Star Dragon Noble. I never said I intended to stop him. Consider everything I said earlier so much nonsense. The chief purpose of this All Kings Grand Assembly is to decide whether to seal the river. My suggestion is that, since the Demon Barbarians are plotting to steal our Dragon Race's power, we seal the river outright and forbid anyone from leaping over the Ninth Dragon Gate, reducing the danger to a minimum."
Ao Chang said, "You support sealing the river, but others do not, and we may speak freely too. Everyone here knows perfectly well that sealing the river is supposedly meant to obstruct the Demon Barbarians, but its true purpose is to obstruct Fang Yun. Do not forget that sealing the river will hinder more than Fang Yun alone.
