When Ba Xia turned to look at An Lin and the others, Ao Xiaowu, Ao Meng, and Ao Mingyu also turned toward the same direction with curiosity on their faces. They were then greeted by the sight of An Lin’s team as Tina’s spell technique had been broken by a single glare from Ba Xia.
Thus, an unexpected encounter between the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas and the Four Nine Immortal Sect took place.
A peculiar silence ensued.
Everyone had fallen completely silent.
In the end, it was the severely-wounded Ao Mingyu who broke the silence with an enraged roar, “An Lin, why are you here?!”
An Lin forced a smile onto his face. “Would you believe me if I told you I was just passing through?”
Ao Mingyu flared up with rage. “Do you think I’m stupid?”
An Lin issued a scathing retort, “Are you not stupid? You almost lost your life here!”
“You… Roar! Pffft…”
Ao Mingyu roared with rage before throwing up a mouthful of blood.
An Lin’s insult was like a lethal blow to his heart.
“Hahaha… You’re not part of the Dragon Tribe, but you’re trespassing on our restricted Dragon Tribe territory! You can all stay here forever!” An ecstatic expression appeared on Ao Meng’s face as he turned to Ba Xia with anticipation in his eyes.
He had sworn a dao heart vow, which prevented him from attacking An Lin and the others. However, Mythological Beast Ba Xia had sworn no such vow! This was a super mighty figure that could attack An Lin at any time.
An Lin was very powerful, but could he defeat a Dao Integration Stage mythological beast?
It was absolutely laughable to think that a Soul Formation Stage cultivator would be capable of defeating a Dao Integration Stage mythological beast.
Ao Mingyu also came to his senses, and he was struck by a sense of elation at An Lin’s imminent death. He couldn’t help but chortle with delight, but instead of laughter, blood gushed out of his mouth instead.
Mythological Beast Ba Xia said in a slow voice, “If someone that is not part of the Dragon Tribe was to appear here, it would certainly be a crime punishable by death…”
Ao Mingyu and Ao Meng didn’t even get a chance to celebrate before Ba Xia’s voice sounded again.
“However… they do appear to have a Dragon Tribe cultivator among them.”
A golden light suddenly flashed past Ba Xia’s crimson eyes, and a mysterious smile appeared on its gargantuan dragon head.
“Huh?” Ao Mingyu was dumbstruck.
“What do you mean, Senior?” Ao Meng was also dumbstruck.
He turned his eyes toward An Lin and his team before coming to a sudden realization upon seeing Xiao Ze. “It’s you…”
Xiao Ze couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “You sure are slow.”
Ao Mingyu refused to give up. “But they’re not from the Dragon Court of…”
“Shush!” Ao Meng cut him off with an enraged cry.
Ao Mingyu came to his senses before turning to look at An Lin’s team with indignation on his face.
That’s right, this was indeed a Dragon Tribe restricted area, which cultivators outside of the Dragon Tribe could not trespass on.
However, Xiao Ze was a Dragon Tribe cultivator! And he was part of the Primordial Dragon Tribe!
This restricted area was not exclusive to the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas. Instead, it was open to the entire Dragon Tribe, so of course Xiao Ze had the right to be here.
Xiao Ze extended a respectful salute toward Ba Xia, who appeared to bear no ill will toward them. “Senior, this is my entourage, so there should be no problem, right?”
“It doesn’t matter to me. Cultivators outside of the Dragon Tribe wouldn’t be able to enter the restricted area on the Dragon Turtle Mountain anyway. Your entourage can just wait outside,” Ba Xia replied in an indifferent voice.
An Lin and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as this Dao Integration Stage mythological beast didn’t attack them, they should be safe.
A bright light suddenly erupted from the red dragon in the sky, and its body gradually shrank before transforming into a lithe and graceful woman with a pair of gorgeous dragon horns and a fiery red dress.
Bei Lian had not lied to him. Ao Xiaowu was indeed a fair-skinned beauty with long legs.
The only thing that didn’t match An Lin’s mental image of Ao Xiaowu was that her features appeared to be quite gentle and timid, as if she would be easy to walk over.
However, everyone knew that it would be best not to mess with her.
After all, she was a Dragon Tribe mighty figure to whom even Ba Xia was willing to extend a favor.
Ao Xiaowu withdrew her aura and cast an indifferent gaze toward An Lin’s team before looking away. Perhaps she didn’t want to acknowledge their existence, or perhaps she simply couldn’t be bothered to do so.
She turned toward Ao Meng before speaking in a gentle voice, “Father, I’ve wasted a lot of time here already. If you don’t need anything else from me, then I’m going back.”
Ao Mingyu hurriedly interjected, “Big Sister, aren’t you going to teach An Lin a lesson? The man who killed our brother is standing right there!”
Ao Xiaowu’s brows furrowed. “What’s the point of seeking revenge when our brother is already dead? Are you trying to exhaust me to death? Will our brother be resurrected if I take revenge for him? If they tried to kill you and you hadn’t died yet, I might consider opposing them…”
An Lin and the others were astonished again. This Ao Xiaowu had some powerful logic there!
It felt like she simply found revenge too tiresome!
Ao Xiaowu gripped the air with a hand and pulled the huge white dragon into the air by his whisker. “On the other hand, I have promised Senior Ba Xia that I will teach you a lesson. Come back with me to the Dragon Court to receive your punishment. We’ll come back to pay respects to our ancestors in ten days.”
Thus, Ao Mingyu wailed with anguish as he was dragged by his whisker into the ocean, where the two of them disappeared.
Ao Meng stood rooted to the spot, at a loss for what to do.
An Lin spread open his arms. “Come fight me.”
Ao Meng: “…”
The Dragon King’s face was flushed with rage, and he was almost having an asthma attack as he tried to kill An Lin with his eyes. “Hmph! You’re definitely up to no good here! Do you really think I can’t do anything to you? Just you wait and see!”
He couldn’t do anything. He had already sworn a dao heart vow that prevented him from attacking anyone from the Four Nine Immortal Sect. If he went back on his vow, his dao foundation might collapse.
Hence, what else could he do aside from hurling some empty threats?
Ao Meng bade farewell to Mythological Beast Ba Xia before storming back to the Dragon Court with unbridled rage.
Mythological Beast Ba Xia closed its eyes and floated on the surface of the ocean like a gargantuan island.
The sea was still surging with turbulence, and purple lightning was still exploding in the sky above.
“Hehe… How interesting.”
Ba Xia’s eyes were tightly shut, but an amused smile appeared on its face.
Ao Meng flew on his way toward the Dragon Court.
Even though he wasn’t very powerful among all of the Return to Void Final Stage mighty figures out there, he was a mighty figure who had mastered the power of the divine dao, and he soon sensed something following him.
Ao Meng turned around and unleashed a detection technique unique to the Dragon Tribe.
After that…
“Holy f*ck! What do you want?”
The black dragon was given a huge fright as he let loose a loud roar.
An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, Xiao Ze, Tina, and Bryce were closing in from behind with sinister expressions on their faces…
This was an extremely terrifying scene!
“Don’t go, Mr. Ao Meng! We bear no ill will. We just want to borrow some money!” An Lin waved his hands as he yelled with a friendly smile.
Ao Meng shuddered at the sight of An Lin’s smile.
What the f*ck!
How could there be such a shameless man in this world?
And who did he think he was fooling?!
A chill ran down Ao Meng’s spine, and he fled even more quickly into the distance.
Not only that, but he had also connected a voice transmission.
“My sweet, beautiful daughter, An Lin is trying to murder your father! You have to come and protect me!”
