The Human Emperor's Journey to the East Sea

The Dragon King felt awkward at the thought.

Wasn't this tantamount to immortals fighting?

A mere Dragon King like him was caught in the middle, making things rather awkward.

After pondering for a long time, the Dragon King finally decided to leave the matter alone.

He would let those two great figures fight it out.

The Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea, now a little drunk, then staggered off to the rear palace.

He intended to find his Dragon Queen and vent the anger in his heart.

As the saying went, a dragon's nature could not be forgotten, even for a moment.

Just then, a voice like thunder suddenly rumbled throughout the East Sea.

"Wuming, envoy of the Human Emperor, has arrived."

"Why don't the aquatic folk of the East Sea hurry out to receive him?"

The voice carried with tremendous force, rumbling straight into the Crystal Palace.

The already somewhat drunk Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea jumped in fright.

"An envoy of the Human Emperor? Wuming?"

"Has that fellow already sent someone to demand an accounting?"

Could he really be planning to take the Dragon Clan under the knife and make trouble for them?

The old Dragon King shuddered at the thought.

The current Human Emperor was a madman who even dared to curse a Saint.

Now that he had sent an envoy here, his reason was evidently self-explanatory.

The Dragon Clan was no longer what it once had been. No matter what, it could not afford to provoke that Human Emperor.

After all, Chaoge was teeming with talent, including many mighty figures like Wen Zhong.

If the Human Emperor truly held them responsible, the Dragon Clan would have more than it could swallow.

The Dragon King shivered at the thought.

He hurriedly arranged for the people of the East Sea to go and receive the Human Emperor's envoy.

And this so-called envoy of the Human Emperor was none other than Ye Xuan.

He was wearing the supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Hongmeng Mystic Daoist Robe.

On his face he wore the supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Prajna Asura Tribulation.

He looked utterly mysterious and fearsome.

His presence as a Daluo Golden Immortal was unmistakable.

He had come to establish his authority and show off.

Naturally, he had to put on a proper display, didn't he?

A moment later, the surface of the East Sea suddenly began to boil violently.

Then all manner of oddly shaped things emerged one after another.

They were Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals of every kind.

There were shrimp generals, crab marshals, catfish commanders, and so on.

Next came the Turtle Prime Minister, carrying a turtle shell on his back.

After another little while, the main figure finally appeared.

It was none other than Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea, with a dragon's head and a human body.

A great many dragon sons and grandsons followed behind him.

"I, Ao Guang, Dragon King of the East Sea, respectfully welcome the exalted immortal. I failed to come farther out to greet you; please forgive me!"

As he spoke, he repeatedly cupped his fists at Ye Xuan.

By now, cold sweat was pouring down the old Dragon King's face.

He had clearly been intimidated by the visitor's presence.

Although this mysterious expert named Wuming wore a mask that was a magical treasure, the presence of a Daluo Golden Immortal radiating from his entire body was unmistakable.

In the Primordial World as it was now, the cultivation of a Daluo Golden Immortal was already quite terrifying.

This was especially true after the Witch-Demon Tribulation, when the entire Primordial World seemed rather desolate.

The days when Great Luo were as numerous as dogs and Quasi-Saints walked everywhere were long gone.

Even the famous Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect were only at the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

The Four Seas Dragon Clan did not have a single Daluo Golden Immortal now. Even the strongest among them, the Four Seas Dragon Kings, were only at the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm.

Naturally, the sudden appearance of a Daluo Golden Immortal terrified him.

"Everything in the Dragon Palace is ready, and we have only been awaiting our honored guest's arrival. Please, exalted immortal, follow me into the palace!"

With that, he cupped his fists repeatedly once more.

Clearly, he had humbled himself as much as he could.

He evidently knew perfectly well why the other party had come.

But he had only been acting on orders-

Now he could only hope the other party would not fly into a rage and strike him down!

Ye Xuan quietly glanced at everyone present.

Then he fixed his gaze on Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea.

According to the rumors, this fellow was a spineless coward through and through.

Now that Ye Xuan had seen him, his reputation was indeed well deserved. He really was a coward.

He had been intimidated the moment they met.

Ye Xuan looked down on this coward from the bottom of his heart.

Only after a long while did Ye Xuan nod and follow the Dragon King to the lavish Crystal Palace.

A banquet had indeed been laid out inside the Crystal Palace.

Ye Xuan took the lead and sat in the seat of honor.

He had come to the East Sea to demand an accounting, so naturally there was no need to stand on ceremony.

The Dragon Clan's actions over the past two or three years had indeed left Ye Xuan quite displeased.

Seeing Ye Xuan act this way, Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea showed a flicker of gloom in his eyes.

In the end, however, he still put on a smile.

"Exalted immortal, your arrival in my East Sea is truly a blessing for us!"

"On behalf of the East Sea, Ao Guang offers you a toast, exalted immortal. May you enjoy immortal blessings forever and live as long as heaven!"

With that, he drained his cup and fixed his burning gaze on Ye Xuan.

Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea was hoping that Wushuang would remove her mask so he could see her true face.

Ye Xuan felt a wave of disgust at the fellow's hypocrisy. The Prajna Asura Tribulation on his face flashed with a dim light and became a half-mask.

Without betraying any emotion, he drained the exquisite wine from his cup.

Then he turned his gaze to a woman standing behind the Dragon King.

During the Investiture of the Gods, he had never heard of any outstanding women in the Dragon Clan.

Yet the woman before him was a woman of extraordinary charm.

It was no exaggeration to say her beauty eclipsed the Four Seas. She was exceptionally beautiful, fair enough to topple kingdoms and cities.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Xuan had an idea.

"I heard long ago that the Dragon Clan has a woman whose beauty eclipses the Four Seas. They say she has a graceful figure and is a master of song and dance."

"Is this the woman they spoke of? Might she perform a dance to enliven the occasion?"

Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea was startled to hear this.

He had not expected this mighty figure to come straight for his daughter!

His daughter was named Wushuang. She was beautiful and indeed renowned throughout the Four Seas.

Had this fellow heard of her too?

Who did not know that his daughter was his treasure? What did this fellow mean by coming straight for Wushuang?

Could he be trying to provoke him into losing his reason and starting a conflict,

then send troops to seize the East Sea completely?

At the thought of that possibility, the Dragon King's expression changed abruptly.

As the saying went, a little impatience could ruin great plans. No matter what, he had to endure it.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable.

"Wushuang, since the exalted immortal is interested, perform a dance to enliven the occasion."

Wushuang felt somewhat aggrieved, but the situation left her no choice, so she could only nod obediently.

She could only force down her boundless grievance and begin to dance gracefully to the music.

Once she began, even the well-traveled Ye Xuan could not help but become absorbed.

Wushuang's long sleeves swept through the air as she leaped and spun in the middle of the vast square.

Her dancing was exceedingly light and graceful. She moved with the ethereal elegance of an immortal and was immensely alluring.

As her broad, flowing cloud sleeves opened and closed, they further set off her peerless face, beautiful enough to enchant all living beings.

Such dancing was surely rare in the Primordial World.

Even he, who had transmigrated here, had never heard of anything like it.

After a few cups of fine wine, Ye Xuan had unwittingly grown a little drunk.

A beauty like her was indeed rare in this world.
