A flying letter crossed the Black River; the Flood Dragon King held court in the coral hall

Heiming Gu Du?

Chen Shuangbai did remember this person.

Unexpectedly, the great shaman of the Dark Crow Tribe was so willing to let him travel freely... You must know that the Ancient People tribes of the entire Great Li Mountain are quite closed off.

Ordinary people of the tribe would not stray too far from the Great Li Mountain.

Not to mention the person he had seen before, whose Ancient Shaman talent was quite remarkable; would the great witch really trust him to go out?

Chen Shuangbai hesitated for a moment, then said, "Uncle-Master, please don't worry, I will arrange for someone to inquire."

Heiming Xuanzhao immediately showed delight before bowing.

Ding Chengyu stepped forward and said softly, " Dao Child... the Black River Water Manor and the Profound Firmament Sect are currently locked in a fierce battle. Even if you send a letter to that True Person Zhao of the Profound Firmament Sect, it's unlikely he'll agree."

Chen Shuangbai glanced at Senior Brother Ding again.

True Lord Qingchen said that this senior brother had some secrets, but his heart was with the sect... However, in Chen Shuangbai's opinion, this Senior Brother Ding was truly talented in handling worldly affairs and dealing with people.

After a pause, Chen Shuangbai said, "The friendship between my Jade Spring Sect and the Dark Crow Tribe has lasted for generations, and this matter is not a big deal... I have also seen the Heiming Gu Du; he is a talented person and is biased towards my sect."

"People like this must be saved."

Ding Chengyu said nothing more, gave a report on the handling of various matters within the sect and alliance that day, and then leisurely took his leave.

Chen Shuangbai stood in the hall.

All the strange phenomena have subsided.

Only the Great Yin Illusory Radiance flowing over his entire body was enough to demonstrate the Divine Ability and noble Law Power of this Jade Spring Dao Child.

Instantly, everything vanished into nothingness, returning to the layers of halls.

The Black River Water Manor and the Profound Firmament Sect stand facing each other across the river.

The ruler of the Water Palace, the Black Jade Flood Dragon King, was Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator. He was both a king among demons and a member of the Flood Dragon family.

Their ancestors were able to remain in the Zhao Kingdom during the great purge of humans driving Demon Beast into the sea thousands of years ago, which naturally shows their abilities.

After much deliberation, Chen Shuangbai decided to first send a messenger with a letter.

If the other party is willing to give face to the Jade Spring Sect and the Vast Waves Alliance and hand over the Heiming Gu Du, that would be the best outcome.

This will save both sides from a major conflict.

If they don't pay... then we'll have to think of other ways.

The Zhao Kingdom.

A great river flows through the mountains and ridges in the southwest of the Zhao Kingdom. Its source is one of the few snow-capped mountain ranges in the Zhao Kingdom state. Many tributaries converge in the upper and middle reaches, which creates this dark river.

Therefore, it was named Black River.

If ordinary people were to dive to the bottom of the Black River, they would naturally not be able to see any dragon palace or underwater mansion.

Because the place where the dragon dwells has its own divine wonders, it is a kind of cave abode opened up in the size of a mustard seed, which is actually quite similar to the blessed lands and Grotto-Heaven opened up by cultivator sects.

Black River Water Manor.

The name "Water Palace" was chosen because titles like "Dragon Palace" and "Crystal Palace" are usually reserved for creatures like true dragons.

No matter how profound his Black River is, as long as he doesn't reach the True Dragon realm, he can only be called a Water Lord.

A beam of watery light shone from the river, disappearing into an invisible ripple before entering a magnificent and opulent place.

Coral pillars, pearls lamps, white jade flooring, and crystal tiles.

Although the Black River is within the sea, it flows into the Spirit Gauze Sea. Therefore, while these mundane objects are rarely seen in the mortal world, they can be found everywhere here.

Pairs of shrimp and black crabs transformed into demon soldiers patrolled the area, wielding various steel forks and water blades. Although their auras were at the Middle Qi Refining Stage, their sheer number was astonishing.

They also noticed the watery radiance, but after carefully sensing it, they didn't surround it, instead letting it enter the water palace.

main hall.

The hall was illuminated by countless pearls, and a man dressed in a dark, cloud-patterned robe reclined on a crystal throne in the very center, eating fruit while lying on the laps of a pair of fish-shaped maidens.

This man was tall and imposing, with a thick beard and black eyebrows. Between his temples, one could vaguely see scales that shimmered with an eerie light, arranged in neat rows. His pupils resembled those of a serpent, exuding a treacherous and ferocious aura, making him utterly terrifying.

Most importantly, the demonic light flowing from its body was heavy and had a dark luster, like flowing jade light. It was none other than the Lord of the Water Palace - the Black Jade Flood Dragon King.

The beam of water entered the main hall and manifested as a Daoist priest dressed in a water-themed robe. The priest bowed respectfully, speaking in an extremely noble tone.

" Primordial Origin Temple Wu Yue pays respects to Your Majesty!"

Without even shifting his gaze, the Black Jade Flood Dragon King gently waved his hand, and a deep, resonant voice echoed in the hall, "What is it?"

Wu Yue told the truth.

"Your Majesty, the Jade Spring Sect, a member of the Vast Waves Alliance, has sent a letter saying that one of their disciples has gone missing within our Water Mansion territory, and they request that the Water Mansion search for him and send him back."

"They even said that if the person could be returned, they would be rewarded handsomely."

Having said that, Wu Yue raised his hand and flicked it, and several pill bottles flew out from his sleeve, their clear light shining brightly, indicating that they were top-quality pills.

The master of the Water Palace had indeed lost interest, waving his hand and saying, " Jade Spring Sect? Vast Waves Alliance? This is Zhao Kingdom territory... Does the Jade Spring Sect dare to come here?"

"Just say that there is no such person in my Water Palace."

Wu Yue's eyes flickered, as if he wanted to say something, but faced with the decision made by this Flood Dragon King, he, a human cultivator who had already joined his ranks, had absolutely no say.

Wu Yue nodded, then respectfully prepared to leave.

But just as he was about to step out of the palace, he was stopped again by the Black Jade Flood Dragon King.

"What's the name of the person I want? What do they look like?"

After Wu Yue described the appearance of the Heiming Gu Du, the Black Jade Flood Dragon King became slightly interested and said, "So it's this kid."

Wu Yue remained silent, simply bowing his head and listening quietly.

After a long while, he finally heard the dragon king speak casually.

"Reply to them, even if this lad has had incredible luck and caught the eye of my sixteenth daughter, and is just waiting for an auspicious day to marry her and bring her into my Black River Water Manor, it wouldn't be considered an insult to the Jade Spring Sect."

Wu Yue obediently agreed, then turned and left.

After the person left, a sudden flash of light appeared in the hall, and a effeminate Demon Cultivator appeared.

This demon was dressed as a scholar, holding a folding fan in his hand. He had a fair complexion and three long wisps of beard, giving him a rather refined air. However, a glint of shrewdness would occasionally flash in his narrow eyes.

He looked in the direction Wu Yue had left, turned around, and bowed deeply.

"Your Majesty, the Vast Waves Alliance now unifies the Jing and Wu kingdoms, and boasts eight Nascent Soul True Lord within its ranks... While my Black River Water Manor is not afraid, would it be a loss to antagonize the Vast Waves Alliance over such a trivial matter?"

This demon is named Bai Wujiu. He is a man of deep cunning and is an advisor under the command of the Black Jade Flood Dragon King.
