The Dragon King Appeared

The roots were fed to the snakehead fish's mouth.

The snakehead fish opened and closed its mouth, seemingly unable to eat.

Seeing this, Fang Weiyan had no choice but to force it in.

This time, the roots were finally eaten by the cuttlefish.

Upon seeing this, Fang Weiyan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Next, we'll see if this root actually works.

Fang Weiyan stood nervously by his side.

He wondered if he should go back to Earth to see if there was any way to save the fish.

Just as Fang Weiyan was struggling with this decision, a sudden gust of wind arose from the side.

The next moment, a man wearing a crown appeared to the side.

The man had barely appeared when he saw the cuttlefish wrapped in cloth beside him, with fresh blood nearby.

Upon seeing this, the man instantly flew into a rage.

His child was just put on a chopping board and slaughtered like that?

Seeing his child bleeding profusely, his face contorted with rage. A quick scan with his Divine Sense revealed that his child was already lifeless.

Fang Weiyan was startled when he saw the man who had suddenly appeared in front of him.

The other person's attire and the way they appeared just now made them look exactly like the Dragon King of the Wu River.

Noticing this, Fang Weiyan quickly took several steps back.

"This was done by these few people; it has nothing to do with anyone else."

Fang Weiyan quickly stepped aside, then pushed aside the several burly men beside him, indicating that these were the guys who had done it.

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King of the Wu River glanced at the burly men and then sniffed the air.

He immediately smelled his child's scent on these people, as well as the fish scales and blood on their hands.

And the blood of their own child was still flowing from their mouths, clearly indicating that the other party had eaten their own child's blood!

Their own child was injured like this; it looks like they were the ones who did it.

Upon seeing this, the Dragon King's face turned icy cold. He stretched out his hand, and several burly men were drawn into his palm.

I'll make you wish you were dead!

The Dragon King looked at these people but didn't kill them immediately. Giving them up so easily would be too lenient.

A flash of dark light appeared on the Dragon King's palm, and then several burly men's legs were seen twisted in an extremely severe manner.

Instantly, screams erupted.

The Dragon King ignored these fellows and turned to look at his child. He still couldn't accept the news that his child was dead.

These guys are just sitting here; they can't run away anyway. "If anything happens to my son, you'll all be dead!"

The Dragon King was still furious. How could he not be angry and saddened that his own child had been so brutally disemboweled?

Upon hearing this, Cheng Feng quickly replied, "This matter has nothing to do with my master. My master arrived as soon as he learned of it and rescued the blackfish."

"These are the men who committed this crime. You can kill them to pay with your life!"

Seeing that the other party seemed to intend to take their anger out on his adult, Cheng Feng quickly suppressed his fear and said...

He could tell that the man in front of him was no ordinary person.

But even so, so what?

His mother had told him before he left that he must protect his parents.

My master didn't lay a hand on that blackfish, so there's no reason for the other party to do so.

"Your master? You're the newly appointed governor of Jiangling Commandery?"

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Fang Weiyan.

He had previously sent his men to inquire about the situation in order to ensure his son could successfully overcome the calamity.

They learned that a new prefect had arrived in Jiangling Commandery and had killed all the other county magistrates.

Fang Weiyan was quite composed upon hearing this, and nodded in response to the Dragon King's gaze. However, he began to ponder in his heart that if the other party harbored murderous intent, he would have no choice but to return to Earth.

There was no other way; he was no match for the Dragon King, so it was best to run away first.

As for Cheng Feng and the others, Fang Weiyan was destined not to be able to save them. If Cheng Feng and the others were to suffer a disaster, Fang Weiyan would try to find a way to avenge them later.

"Since you are the prefect, and this area is under your jurisdiction, you will be held responsible for what happened to my son!"

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King merely snorted coldly.

This was his only child, and he had made up his mind that if his son died here, he would make all these people pay with their lives.

But no sooner had he finished speaking than the blackfish, which had been on the verge of death, suddenly sprang to life and began to swim away.

The little blackfish swam through the air to its father, the wound on its belly now gone.

Wuyu nudged his father with his head, "Father, this man saved me and helped me through this Human Tribulation. You mustn't hurt him."

As Wu Yu spoke, she pointed in Fang Weiyan's direction.

The Dragon King was stunned when he saw his child suddenly come to life. When he had scanned the child with his Divine Sense just now, his child was clearly...

"Child, are you alright?"

The Dragon King looked at his child and was instantly overjoyed.

He had just felt that his child had stopped breathing, so how did he come back to life?

"It was him! He just gave me a piece of the spirit medicine, which is why I'm alive again!"

Wuyu was overjoyed, nuzzling his father with his head while glancing at Fang Weiyan with eyes full of gratitude.

He had just been brutally disemboweled; if Fang Weiyan arrived in time, he would have died there.

Having suffered this calamity, his Human Tribulation is considered over.

"I see..."

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King looked at Fang Weiyan opposite him, and his expression instantly became several times more solemn.

"Thank you for saving my son's life. If you have any request, I will grant it if I can."

The Dragon King bowed deeply to Fang Weiyan, showing his respect.

Fang Weiyan felt relieved upon seeing this, knowing that the matter was over as he looked at the revived cuttlefish.

If this cuttlefish really dies here, that would be a real problem.

"Dragon King, there's no need for such formalities. I only ask that you refrain from capsizing passing ships and stirring up storms in the future."

Fang Weiyan thought for a moment and then said something.

In the future, we will likely need to use the Wu River for transportation.

Since the other party is the Dragon King, I hope they will exercise some restraint in the future and refrain from causing trouble.

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King frowned. "I have only been cultivating peacefully in the river and have never done such a thing before."

"Even in the past, in order to break through cultivation levels, they only forced Zhenjiang City to change its name to Pingjiang City. When have they ever done anything like this?"

"Is this request an insult to me?"

The Dragon King was somewhat displeased at this moment; the other party's words made it seem as if he, the Dragon King, enjoyed doing such things.

In the past, Zhenjiang City's reputation still held sway, suppressing him and preventing him from breaking through to Transformation, which is why he took a hard line this time.

After that, he focused on his cultivation, and he never did what Fang Weiyan said.
