Chapter 1122: Chapter 717: Cloud Dragon Spirit Pearl

Ao Ming and Ao Shibidi are both sons of the East Sea Dragon King, holding esteemed status. Especially Ao Ming, as the Third Prince, he is the Dragon King’s most treasured son and holds a very special position in the East Sea Dragon Court.

Such powerful members of the Dragon Race were beheaded by Gao Xuan with a single sword strike.

The numerous guests present at the scene were terrified by this sight. They deeply understood how serious and frightening the consequences of this event would be.

Not to mention the fate of Gao Xuan, the guests attending the banquet feared a dire outcome for themselves as well.

The more they thought, the more afraid they became. Deep inside, they hoped that Ao Ming and Ao Shibidi weren’t truly dead.

After all, it wasn’t difficult for powerful members of the Dragon Race to cultivate external embodiments. They should have various powerful Divine Artifacts protecting their Divine Souls and shouldn’t be cut down with a single strike.

Everyone stared with wide eyes but saw no anomaly.

The two headless bodies fell simultaneously. On their bodies was only the cold, intense aura of death.

Everyone’s hearts grew colder; these two powerful Dragon Race members were truly dead!

Ao Jiuni also stared dumbfounded at the two headless corpses, more shocked and fearful than the other guests.

He wasn’t aware of any Secret Technique Ao Ming might have, but he knew Ao Shibidi had three external embodiments, formed from three hairs on the back of his neck.

Each transformed embodiment could switch with the main body and endure all attacks in its stead.

Even though Gao Xuan’s sword was swift, it shouldn’t have killed Ao Shibidi in one strike.

Yet, Ao Shibidi was truly dead. His three external embodiments seemed utterly useless.

Ao Jiuni was certain because the strong Dragon Spirit aura of his two brothers had completely dissipated.

The intense death aura couldn’t be faked, and there was no need to fake it either.

If they could truly resurrect, it should have happened by now.

Ao Jiuni felt particularly chaotic inside, unsure whether to confront Gao Xuan or turn away and leave.

The former meant certain death, the latter cowardice. Neither was a good option.

Ao Jiuni, deeply composed, quickly calmed himself and solemnly said to Gao Xuan: "Celestial Master Gao, it was merely a sparring match, why such a lethal strike?"

Gao Xuan casually handed the sword to Ripples and replied to Ao Jiuni with indifference: "It was merely a sparring match, why such a lethal strike?"

Ao Jiuni was speechless.

Although Gao Xuan seemed to be merely echoing his words, his meaning was clear.

Ultimately, it was Ao Ming who was aggressive, first letting Ao Shibidi attack, then seizing the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Ao Ming’s Cyan Light Immortal-Slaying Sword is remarkable.

Reasonably, Gao Xuan was merely retaliating in self-defense. The problem was, on Celestial Dragon Island, how could the Dragon Race suffer such a loss?

Ao Jiuni bowed to Gao Xuan: "Celestial Master, your Divine Techniques are unparalleled, I know I cannot defeat you. Others will demand justice from the Celestial Master."

"Hahaha..."

Gao Xuan laughed heartily: "I’ve long heard of the East Sea Dragon King’s profound wisdom and extraordinary demeanor. I want to see how the Dragon King will handle this matter."

He spoke to Ao Jiuni: "You need not fear, I’ve come to participate in the Celestial Dragon Dharma Assembly. Before it concludes, I will not leave."

As Gao Xuan spoke, he swept his sleeve, taking Ripples and Ice Soul, transforming into a cyan rainbow soaring to the sky, disappearing in an instant.

Ao Jiuni watched the cyan rainbow fade, then approached An Zhiyun, Jin Buyi, and the others.

He said to them solemnly: "Today’s matter, if anyone dares to reveal a single word, I will exterminate their entire family!"

The crowd’s faces turned pale, each hurriedly swore oaths, stating they would never divulge a single word.

Yet everyone felt that Ao Jiuni was deceiving himself. Even if they did not speak, wouldn’t Gao Xuan?

Judging by Gao Xuan’s demeanor, he clearly intends to confront the East Sea Dragon Race head-on. Where does he get this confidence?

Still, Gao Xuan’s sword strike could attest to his cold ruthlessness.

Deciding to kill the Third Prince of the East Sea so casually, they were even less significant. The East Sea Dragon Race was certainly untouchable, but Celestial Master Gao was also beyond their reach.

The crowd now wished to stay as far away as possible. If implicated in this affair, they’d never know how they died!

Ao Jiuni issued a warning to the crowd before sending them away.

These individuals were merchants of Celestial Dragon Island, closely associated with the Dragon Race. Even with a hundred guts, they wouldn’t dare speak carelessly.

Regarding Gao Xuan, Ao Jiuni believed that someone of his stature wouldn’t be like a child boasting about his feats everywhere.

This matter had become too grave; he needed time to buffer and handle it.

Ao Jiuni ordered the handling of Ao Ming and Ao Shibidi’s corpses and took them to the Teleportation Array.

Celestial Dragon Island was tens of thousands of miles from the Dragon Palace; flying back would take several days.

Using the massive Teleportation Array along with the Dragon Scale Talisman, they could return directly to the Dragon Palace. Of course, each use of the Teleportation Array consumed resources significantly. Without an important matter, the Teleportation Array wouldn’t be activated.

The seven-colored Spiritual Light of the Teleportation Array slowly dissipated, and Ao Jiuni had returned to the East Sea Dragon Palace.

Ao Jiuni was positioned on a large Eight Trigrams Disk; the disk, spanning dozens of yards, was a special Magical Treasure named the Eight Trigrams Flying Wheel.

Using this Magical Treasure as a core, one could easily cross tens of thousands of miles.

Guarding the Eight Trigrams Flying Wheel were two beautiful Clam Girls who hurriedly stepped forward to greet Ao Jiuni when they saw him appear.

Ao Jiuni, in a rush, ignored the two Clam Girls and headed directly to the Purple Cloud Palace with a grim face.

The East Sea Dragon Palace spanned thousands of acres, with countless pavilions and towers. Among them, the most splendid and luxurious was the Purple Cloud Palace.

Located in the northeast of the Dragon Palace, Purple Cloud Palace was entirely forged from Upper Grade Purple Gold Crystal. The Purple Gold Crystal was purplish with a hint of golden light, and from afar, its brilliance resembled cloud-like spiritual light, hence the name Purple Cloud Palace.
