While Ao Qing was cultivating the Dragon God Technique to the eighth stage, the seventh stage of the Lightning Tribulation, in Yin Shang.
As the rightful successor of the Shang Dynasty, King Zhou of Shang sat upright on the Dragon Throne. His eyes shone brightly, and in front of him stood a dense crowd of civil and military officials.
"Grand Preceptor Wen has finally defeated the War Hounds Giants. Our Shang Dynasty's territory has expanded once again. Not bad, not bad at all. I'm afraid the world is in my hands now." King Zhou of Shang spoke slowly, his voice filled with excitement. "Men, reward me!"
Very quickly, a large pile of gold and silver was carefully carried by a few servants and slowly brought to the front of the officials. When they saw so much gold and silver, the eyes of the officials instantly became incomparably bright.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Grand Preceptor Wen, who was rewarded, was a white-haired old general with a pair of sharp eyes. He had the air of a great general and a strong murderous aura slowly exuded from his body.
Like Li Jing of Chentang Pass, he was also a cultivator. His master was the Master Tongtian and he was the disciple of the Master Tongtian's Golden Spirit Saintess. His mount was an Ink Qilin and he wielded an Ink Whip. He was extremely powerful and had helped King Zhou of Shang conquer many territories.
Grand Preceptor Wen cupped his hands as he spoke. Then, he slowly retreated to the side.
He was already used to King Zhou's rewards.
"Hahaha …" King Zhou of Shang was overjoyed. The War Hounds Giants had always been a thorn in the Shang Dynasty's side. Now that the War Hounds Giants were gone, the Shang Dynasty would welcome a period of peace.
Suddenly, King Zhou of Shang noticed that a few figures were missing from the crowd. He was taken aback.
"Eh?
Why don't I see Li Jing and his wife? Why aren't they here? "King Zhou of Shang frowned.
As soon as he finished speaking, the officials looked at each other. Even Grand Preceptor Wen frowned. His face turned pale and he did not look good.
"Your Majesty, Li Jing and his wife were taken away by the Four Seas Dragons a few days ago …" One of the officials said carefully.
"Eh?
What?! "
King Zhou of Shang stood up abruptly, his face full of shock. He was well aware of the strength of Li Jing and his wife, but what he found inconceivable was that the little Dragons of the Four Seas could take them away …
No matter what, Li Jing and his wife from Chentang Pass were his right-hand men. Now that his right-hand men had disappeared, King Zhou was extremely unhappy.
"Four Seas Dragons?!
Wasn't it just the Four Seas Dragon King?!
It was just a few demon dragons. Given their strength, how could they harass Li Jing and his wife at Chentang Pass?
He must have eaten a bear's heart and leopard's guts. "
King Zhou of Shang shrugged nonchalantly. His gaze landed on the ministers in front of him. "Perfect, I need a belt made of dragon tendons. Which general will eliminate him for me?"
As the King Zhou of Yin Shang, he would never allow a tiny dragon to wreak havoc in his territory.
As soon as he finished speaking, several generals slowly walked out and cupped their hands.
"Your Majesty, I'm willing to eliminate the demon dragon for you and conquer the Four Seas!"
"Your Majesty, it's just a tiny dragon. I'm willing to eliminate it and conquer the Four Seas!"
Among the generals, even Grand Tutor Wen slowly walked out. He planned to send out 100,000 elite soldiers to conquer the Four Seas. After all, Li Jing and his wife were old friends of Grand Tutor Wen.
Among the civil and military officials, one of the more well-informed civil and military officials walked out slowly. He frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, with the strength of the Shore of the Four Seas, it is impossible to kill Li Jing and his wife. Furthermore, I heard that Perfected Taiyi is guarding Chentang Pass. Not to mention ordinary demons, even the demon experts with ten thousand years of cultivation would not dare to head to Chentang Pass easily."
"This demon dragon is wreaking havoc in Chentang Pass. It's too strange. If we go there recklessly, I'm afraid that the demon dragon from the Four Seas will cause a great loss to us."
The one who spoke had exquisite facial features. He was the loyal official, Bi Gan.
"Heh, even the rebellious War Hounds giants are no match for me. Under my elite soldiers, they are invincible. What is a tiny Four Seas to us?!"
King Zhou of Shang curled his lips in disdain and showed an indifferent expression.
The other ministers beside him also looked at him with disdain. They felt that Bi Gan was overthinking and worried for nothing.
In the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, where everyone was a cultivator, demons would basically walk away with their tails between their legs. What's more, the demon dragon from the Four Seas was so weak?
While the civil and military officials were deep in thought, a faint voice slowly rang out.
"It seems like the Dragon Emperor needs to walk around Yin Shang more often. Otherwise, people will think that the Dragon Emperor is a demon dragon that can be easily bullied!"
As soon as the voice finished speaking, an unprecedentedly powerful Dragon Power suddenly spread out from the owner of the voice.
The civil and military officials who had been happily chatting felt a powerful pressure suddenly appear and fiercely suppress them. It was as if Mount Tai was pressing down on them, making it difficult for them to breathe and make it impossible for them to continue.
Even King Zhou of Shang, who was protected by the Emperor's Qi, felt his face turn as white as a sheet of paper.
Crack! Crack!
In the palace of the Shang Dynasty, huge cracks appeared on the glazed tiles, stone bricks, and the like. Unable to withstand the terrifying power, these cracks exploded into fragments that filled the sky.
The entire magnificent palace of the Shang Dynasty was razed to the ground …
In the next moment, the civil and military officials, as well as King Zhou of Shang, moved their bodies with great difficulty. They turned to look at the source of the sound, only to see a gigantic dragon's body hovering quietly above the Shang Dynasty's palace. It blocked out the sun and the sky, blocking out everything.
The originally bright sky instantly darkened. Looking from afar, it was extremely visually impactful.
"Dragon … Dragon?!"
"Five claws, six claws, seven claws …"
"Eight claws, nine claws, nine claws Golden Dragon?!"
The ministers were shocked, especially when one of them counted the nine-clawed Golden Dragon. His face changed. "I … I didn't think that a nine-clawed Golden Dragon existed in this world …"
"Who … Who are you?"
King Zhou of Shang tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart. At this moment, Grand Preceptor Wen and the others were standing in front of him to protect him.
Even someone as powerful as Grand Preceptor Wen found it difficult to breathe. It was as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him. Even the War Hounds giant did not make him feel this way!
