"First suppress the various tribes? This..."
Yinyang Qingfan was a little taken aback.
She assumed that Lu Li to the sea was to gather some resources for cultivation.
While we're at it, we should also deal with the danger posed by that old dragon, so that we can be more secure when the geniuses from various states arrive in the future.
Unexpectedly, Lu Li was immediately marked by the suppression of numerous Sea Race.
As for Lu Li, he no longer offered any explanation to Yinyang Qingfan.
He stood up, looked around, and gave orders to Primordial Beginning, the stewards, Changming, Changye, and others.
"This expedition into the sea is not only to quell the peril in the Endless Western Sea, but also to bring together all the various tribes."
"To completely incorporate this Endless Western Sea into the territory of my Dao Court."
"With this sea area as a base, our Dao Court will be able to easily expand to other states in the future."
"Issue my imperial decree: the two divisions of the Myriad Spirits Garrison Army are to adapt their tactics to the Sea Race they encounter this time."
"Those who are reasonable and understand the benefits of our Dao Court shall be treated favorably by their clans."
Those who plot rebellion shall be captured.
In just a few words, Lu Li's intention in coming to the Endless Western Sea was confirmed.
He did not come alone, but brought with him tens of thousands of cultivators and hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers, as well as a continuous stream of Dao Court troops.
The significance of having so many people is obvious.
The Dao Court needs a sea area where it can take control.
The Endless Sea is especially rich in resources, which is beyond imagination.
Its strategic location is extremely important, as the Western Sea can serve as a springboard to connect to the entire Endless Sea.
It also facilitates communication with various states, which will greatly help Lu Li in his subsequent conquest of the four states and his ambition to conquer the Central Continent.
This step can be considered crucial.
"I will obey the Dao Lord's command!"
"I will obey the Dao Lord's command!"
Upon receiving Lu Li's order, all the stewards clasped their fists in unison, their voices echoing throughout the cabin.
Changming and Changye exchanged a glance, both seeing expectation in each other's eyes.
Li Nanci, Lu Yao, and others were the same.
This mysterious sea is an inexhaustible resource for them.
With even more possibilities, the development of the Dao Court will surely rise to a new level because of the Endless Western Sea.
The fleet began to accelerate silently at that moment.
The light trailed a tail of light several miles long in the deep sea.
The seawater was broken, the undercurrents receded, and the fish fled in fright.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the Coral Western Sea Dragon Palace.
Ao Li transformed into human form and sat high on the throne.
His fingertips traced a yellowish scale, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
Outside the hall, a silver shark darted in, transformed into human form, and knelt on one knee.
"Dragon Lord, a message has arrived from fish and shrimp: the Western Continent Dao Court's fleet has entered our Western Sea."
"A hundred ships formed an army, their brilliance obscuring the sea; they have already passed the Black Abyss Trench."
"Should we send troops to annihilate them?"
Listening to reports from others.
Ao Li nodded slightly, his face expressionless.
For the past century, aside from gathering information, it has not made any proactive contact with Lu Li.
Especially after learning about Lu Li's progress in cultivation.
The numerous events recorded in the human pamphlet kept it on its guard.
I had long ago made up my mind that I would never be used as a pawn by the elders of the Central Continent.
It also considered that Lu Li might come to the Western Sea.
I never expected this day to come so soon.
As for sending troops to annihilate them...
"Order that all Sea Race loyal to me retreat 30,000 li and disappear into the undercurrents."
"You are forbidden from contacting any members of the Dao Court, and even more so from waging war against them in my name."
These words were spoken.
Silver Shark was taken aback, then raised his head as if to speak.
But when she met that cold gaze, she swallowed back, "... Yes, sir."
Having said that, he was about to leave.
The palace doors opened again, and a hunched figure with a weathered face, resembling an ordinary old man, stepped out.
Left Chancellor Gui Wance.
"Dragon Lord! The forces of the Western Continent have invaded our seas!"
" The Dao Court is coming with overwhelming force; if we don't fight now, when will we?"
Gui Wance's expression was slightly different.
Over the past century, it has conducted numerous investigations into the power of the Western Continent.
It especially coveted the resources displayed by the Dao Court.
The Dao Court army's entry into the sea is tantamount to a declaration of war.
As the Left Prime Minister of the Dragon Manor, how could it sit idly by?
This is a perfect opportunity for looting.
Behind it, a burly man with dark skin and a towering build also spoke in a deep, booming voice.
"Lord Dragon, this humble general is willing to lead my troops to meet the enemy."
"Those land-based cultivators have entered the sea; who knows whose territory they'll be in!"
Right handsome Xuan Jing.
Gui Wance of the Left.
These two actually came together.
This shows that the Dao Court's entry into the sea had long been something they couldn't contain.
Ao Li raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them.
These two under my command each belong to their own group and have their own agendas.
Especially this Gui Wance, it really doesn't know how this old tortoise has lived for so many years.
It wouldn't even want to provoke someone so powerful.
If it weren't for the pact with Yin and Yin-Yang School, it wouldn't have even bothered to investigate for the past hundred years.
At this moment, there are still people who want to actively kill this person.
hehe.
Do you really think this person who can prove his Dragon Fate is easy to get along with?
Well then, I've long wanted to put these sea tribes to their own devices.
Taking advantage of the power of this person Dragon Fate,
Let's thoroughly sort out this Dragon Manor all at once.
From now on, I will have absolute authority over this Dragon Manor.
We can also take this opportunity to test and see what kind of person this Dragon Fate person really is.
Anyway, it doesn't really concern me.
With this thought in mind, Ao Li tapped the throne with his fingertips and spoke slowly.
"I already know that the Dao Court has entered the sea, but..."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over Gui Wance and Xuan Jing, his tone carrying a profound meaning.
"I need to seclude myself in the Dragon Palace Secret Realm recently to comprehend the opportunity for a breakthrough, and it is truly difficult for me to be distracted."
Gui Wance was taken aback, then his eyes flashed with a sharp light. "The Dragon Lord's intention..."
"The matter of the Western Sea shall be decided by the Western Sea itself."
Ao Li stood up, flicked his sleeves, and walked towards the back of the hall.
"I am pleased that you two are willing to share the burdens of the Western Sea. However, the outcome of the battle is none of the Dragon Palace's concern; you two must bear the responsibility yourselves."
Xuan Jing and Gui Wance exchanged a glance and bowed in unison.
"Understood!"
The palace doors closed, Ao Li's lips curled into a cold smile.
Go ahead, I want to see how many rounds you scheming fools can last against that person.
Outside the hall, the Xuan Jing spoke in a deep voice.
"Left Prime Minister, since the Dragon King is not involved, shall we each rely on our own abilities?"
Gui Wance stroked his beard and smiled, a sharp glint appearing in his cloudy old eyes.
"That suits me perfectly. The Western Sea has been peaceful for too long; it's time to let those land-based cultivators know who truly owns this sea."
"After this battle, our reputations in the Western Sea will likely grow significantly."
"Hahaha!"
Gui Wance's words were subtle, but his intention was clear.
The Western Sea is a complex region with numerous and diverse ethnic groups.
Although it appears as a tortoise today, it is still the keeper of its own clan.
The power of the Dao Court may seem like a threat, but if handled properly...
Perhaps they can even get a share of the profits from the Western Continent.
As for the threat posed by the Lord of the Dao Court...
Its Dao Court master, having already broken through to the Spirit Transformation and proven his Dragon Fate was over, was not someone to be trifled with.
From its perspective, Perfected Void Return is definitely enough to deal with this person.
Even if that doesn't work, we can use the power of neighboring tribes.
At the very least, they could incite those powerful clans with Dao Integration demons to share the spoils.
Of course, the result is that it must be the one who reaps the benefits.
This Xuan Jing is impetuous and straightforward, and its clan strength is also great, so it is just right to lead the charge!
That's the thought that crossed my mind.
Gui Wance glanced at the Xuan Jing.
He stroked his beard and began to speak slowly.
" Xuan Jing's Law Power is profound, and I admit I am no match for him... However, my clan has many valiant men."
"How about this: General Xuan Jing will lead the charge, and I will send my men to cover for him."
