Chapter 174 A Mistake in the Deep Sea

“Brother Sect Master! Brother Sect Master!”

In the main temple of Anshui City, the two statues crossed the bridge with their spiritual will and entered a blurry dream.

When Ao Yi saw Li Changshou, who was standing under the statue, he could not help but feel helpless.

There was a hint of anxiety, disappointment, and helplessness in his voice. It was mixed with a tinge of novelty, joy, and shame.

Li Changshou stood still with a smile and analyzed the situation carefully. He had roughly understood what had happened.

At that moment, Li Changshou and Uncle-Master Jiu Wu had already returned to the venue of the Three Sects’ Meet. It was as if nothing had happened. He maintained the ordinary aura that an ordinary disciple of the Immortal Du Sect should have.

Li Changshou had expected that Ao Yi would use his spiritual will to communicate with

him.

However, what Li Changshou did not expect was that the first thing Ao Yi said was not that he had been attacked in the deep sea,

but…

“What should I do, Sect Master?”

“What happened?”

“I! Ah, I! I’m really ashamed to say… it…”

Ao Yi’s face was filled with embarrassment. There was a hint of nostalgia in his embarrassment, and a tinge of shyness while he was reminiscing…

Li Changshou frowned and said, “Did your actions not follow your thoughts and caused you to make some physical mistake?”

“Yes!”

Ao Yi’s mouth was closed, and his nasally voice was a little twisted. There was a hint of grievance on his face.

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Could it be that the dragon race experts who arrived later did not resolve the Yang Qi for Ao Yi and instead continued with the mistake?

*Hiss*

The experts of the dragon race might have really done something like that!

In the eyes of the dragon race, perhaps the mermen were just their subordinates, and the little mermaid princess was barely worthy of their Second Prince. Although the Second Prince’s human form was fixed as the appearance of a young man, he was actually already of age.

Counting the time…

Wow, Little Dragon, you look like a young man, and you’re pretty energetic.

At that time, Li Changshou also saw the little mermaid princess whom Ao Yi had been protecting

When the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du left with him, the two of them were already ahem, in shape…

Perhaps, my Heart of Flame Pill can only bear half of the responsibility for the matter…

Ao Yi asked in a flustered manner, “Sect Master, what should I do now?”

Li Changshou looked at Ao Yi and quickly thought of a safe strategy.

At that moment, Li Changshou was also a little speechless. He actually had a similar mentality as when he was in school in his previous life and heard that he had slept with a guy and had not returned home the entire night.

If he did not admit his mistakes, there would be endless troubles. Li Changshou patiently asked, “Brother Yi, tell me in detail. What happened?”

Ao Yi immediately felt a little embarrassed. However, due to his trust in Li Changshou who was in front of him, as well as his worries about his overnight growth, he could not help but explain in detail what he had just experienced.

And so on.

Li Changshou had already made up his mind. He suddenly realized something and asked, “You went to suppress the rebellion and appease the mermen, but you fell into a trap? At the critical moment, an expert called Little Daoist Master Xuan Du appeared and his four Guardians helped you out in time? However, when things calmed down, you suddenly lost your mind and became infatuated. The little mermaid princess whom you were protecting experienced the same thing as you. Then, you two… Hmm?”

“Yes! Yes!” “This…” Li Changshou frowned slightly. “This matter should not be too bad for you. As the Prince of the Dragon Palace, you are more than enough for the mermaid princess. Now that there is a crisis in the sea, you can help your father if you use this to stabilize the mermen.”

Ao Yi blinked and said in embarrassment, “You are right, Sect Master. I was anxious when I just woke up and I’m still taking a nap now. I decided to come and find you first.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

So, Your Highness, you’re hugging a beauty now and you haven’t even gotten out of your bed. Yet, you’re here to show off to a 200-year-old pure Yang like me?

Naturally, that was a joke that he could not say.

Li Changshou said warmly, “Let’s not talk about how it happened. Now that things have come to this, what do you plan to do, Brother Yi?”

Ao Yi pondered for a while and sighed.

“I will not let her down. Previously, the Sect Master had advised me to forget about Disciple-Niece Han Zhi. I no longer have such thoughts about her. Since it has already happened, I will immediately report to my father and marry the princess. I’ll bring her back to the East Ocean Dragon Palace in a grand manner! Ah, thank you for clearing my doubts, Brother!”

I didn’t say anything! You’re just a small dragon who doesn’t mean what you say!

“Then, I’ll congratulate you first.” Li Changshou nodded with a smile and changed the topic. “The person behind you must be plotting against you.”

“That person from the west is really bullying me!”

TO

Ao Yi answered calmly. Then, he continued, “Sect Master, there’s something else that’s strange. The few experts who helped me escape today claimed that they were under the orders of a certain emperor. That really confused me. Could it be the current human Emperor? However, how could there be any human rulers in the South Continent now? After the Emperor of the Great Yu Dynasty, there were more than nine human rulers. The human race has always been at odds with the smaller nations… After thinking about it, I wonder if this emperor is the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Courts?”

Li Changshou sighed and said, “Since things have come to this, I won’t hide it from you anymore. “Through the higher-ups, I’ve already mentioned the matter of the dragon race being schemed against, to the Lord of the Three Realms who had been recognized by the Heavenly Dao. I wanted to ask this Emperor to give a decree to protect the dragon race. Although the Heavenly Courts are newly established, they are in charge of serving justice in the Three Realms. Moreover, the Jade Emperor has extremely strong backing. He has an existence behind his back that can make the Western Sect fear him. With a word of his, the dragon race would definitely be able to ease the pressure. It is a pity that the emperor has yet to become fully-fledged and is unwilling to go against the Saint… I’m ashamed that I can’t request a decree… but since someone had gone to help you today, Brother Yi, he might be hesitating.” Ao Yi’s eyes lit up at first. Then, he lowered his head and pondered. When he heard that Li Changshou did not request for the decree, he could not help but feel disappointed…

Li Changshou observed the subtle changes in Ao Yi’s expression. In the end, Ao Yi’s face was filled with gratitude, and he felt a little embarrassed.

However, Li Changshou had no choice but to do it.

He had to consider the emotions of the dragon race and take care of the Jade Emperor’s authority.

Although the Jade Emperor and his side wanted the dragon race to enter the Heavenly Courts, the best solution would be that the dragon race took the initiative to request.

His thought process had to be clear.

Li Changshou’s efforts in the underground secret chamber during the past few years were not in vain. The situation of Ao Yi being attacked was also in the complicated “story tree” that he had drawn.

Ao Yi bowed deeply with a Dao salute and said firmly, “Brother Sect Master, I know that you are concerned about the dragon race, but I never thought that you would be able to do this for the dragon race! Brother! Please accept a bow from me!”

Every time he heard Ao Yi excitedly call him ‘Brother Sect Master’, Li Changshou could not help but hear a classic trumpet tune in his heart. It was from a classic television drama in his previous life— ‘The Godfather Liang Shan and His Companions’.

“Brother Yi, why are you so polite? Please get

up!”

Li Changshou hurriedly supported him and instructed, “Brother Yi, please do not spread anything about this matter. It would be best if you do not mention it in the Dragon Palace. After all, I have not done it yet.” Let’s be steady. I can’t rush to succeed. I shall plant the seeds first and observe the future.

“You’re too kind, Brother Sect Master. I will do as you say!”

Li Changshou smiled and nodded. Then, he sighed softly and reminded, “Go and comfort the mermaid princess first. At this moment, she would be the most embarrassed and helpless. You should take the initiative to comfort her. If there’s nothing else, I’ll continue listening to the Immortals preach. If there are any changes in the dragon race, remember to contact me immediately. The dragon race is giving so much help to the Sea God Sect in the South Ocean. Although there are not many experts in Ren School, I can still invite one of them to help.”

Ao Yi was shocked. He bowed again and Dao saluted. He turned his head and left the dream.

Before he left the dream, he heard his Brother Sect Master mumbling softly with a sigh…

“Ah, where should I get the materials to refine the mountain-protecting array formation?”

Ao Yi’s eyes lit up and he bore it in mind!

In a corner of the Immortal Du Sect’s seating area at the Three Sects’ Meet, Li Changshou opened his eyes. There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes, but he felt a little guilty towards Ao Yi. However, there was no choice. Ao Yi was indeed a key figure in the matter regarding the dragon race’s entry to Heaven. The fact that his life and safety could alarm the Great Daoist Master proved that.

This Second Sect Master…

I should remind him more in the future, lest he gets tricked by others again without even realizing it.

At this moment, Ao Yi must be counting treasures for me, his Brother Sect Master…

At the same time, in a hidden chamber in the city of the East Ocean…

I’ll ask Mother to send dozens of boxes over to Brother Sect Master later.

As Ao Yi calculated, he struggled out of the dream and shifted his attention onto the bed and the palace… His left arm was still entangled with a few strands of long, ocean-blue hair. Thinking about Li Changshou’s advice, Ao Yi made up his mind. He opened his eyes and tried to sound as gentle as possible. He said, “Don’t be afraid, I…”

“Ah!”

The little mermaid princess was pretending to be asleep. She immediately pulled up her blanket and did not dare to show her face. Ao Yi was at a loss.

Han Zhi?

Li Changshou sniffed the aroma of roasted meat and carefully thought about that name.

He did not go back on his word when he returned. He brought back a few wild animals for Xiong Lingli and processed them. At that moment, Xiong Lingli was secretly nibbling on them.

as sec

Li Changshou had already noticed Han Zhi. Recently, he had been feeling that she was somewhat similar to the other famous figure on the God roll-Immortal Han Zhi.

When he was on the bridge with Ao Yi’s spiritual will, Li Changshou had that thought when he heard Ao Yi mention Han Zhi.

Could Han Zhi really be that ‘Han Zhi’?

Li Changshou frowned and pondered for a while. He had previously thought of that possibility. However, Han Zhi’s cultivation level was too low. She was only at the Perfected Immortal realm. How could she be on good terms with Qiong Xiao? Li Changshou naturally remembered the famous Immortal Han Zhi. She was also a toxic fairy…

In other words, if he could confirm that Han Zhi was that Immortal Han Zhi, he would be able to secretly observe Han Zhi’s growth trajectory and predict the time that the Great God-Conferment Tribulation would arrive.

Of course, Li Changshou had long considered that problem. The most accurate prediction method was to see when the Great Shang Dynasty would appear in the mortal world of the South Continent.

The Shang Dynasty had only been overthrown by Zhou when it reached its end. The main body of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation should be in the mortal world’s ‘King Wu of Zhou’s suffering’, ahem, ‘King Wu of Zhou’s Conquer’.

King Zhou was actually a notorious name given to him by the later generations. The last king of the Shang Dynasty who favored only Daji was known as Xin. He was known as Emperor Xin during his reign.

Back to the main topic.

If Han Zhi was really Immortal Han Zhi, it would be a good thing that Ao Yi had given up on Han Zhi for the little mermaid.

However, Li Changshou felt that he had made use of Ao Yi too much this time…

In a while, he would think of other ways to compensate the honest and upright Second Sect Master.

The Sea God Sect in the South Ocean could already be considered to have a lot of incense offerings. However, it was a pity that a larger portion of it could not be given to the dragon race.

Li Changshou continued to organize the possibilities of the future development of that matter and analyzed what the Western Sect would do next.

Based on the ‘Dragon Taming Method’ that the Western Sect had revealed, it should be to sow discord between the Sea Clan and the dragon race.

Although the dragon race was an ancient big shot, there were many internal and external dangers.

The biggest hidden danger might become a fatal blow to the dragon race.

Unfortunately, he could not remind the dragon race.

I shall let the Dragon race fight with the Western Sect. The Heavenly Court will benefit from it. We’ll temporarily weaken the strength of the Western Sect and suppress the ambition of the Western Sect.

That was what Li Changshou wanted to do.

Besides, he could not directly tell Ao Yi to be careful of the Immortal Flood Dragon Troops that the dragon race had painstakingly nurtured for countless years.

That would only have the opposite effect, making people think that the Sea God was up to no good although he was indeed a little selfish…

The Immortal Flood Dragons were considered half-dragons. They had a lot of complaints about the dragon race, and they had been enslaved by the dragon race for countless years.

The dragon race did not treat the “human Dharma treasures” of the race well. They were even a little harsh. They suffered from a backlash, which was the result of the dragon race’s arrogance.

If one wanted to use a human Dharma treasure, they would first have to treat the human Dharma treasure well.

Of course, toxic Junior Sister is an exception…

While Li Changshou was thinking, Youqin Xuanya, who had been gaining enlightenment within the boundary, slowly stood up and turned to look at Li Changshou.

Li Changshou immediately became extremely vigilant!

The ascension ended?

So fast?

In front of him, the Sect Leader Daoist Wuyou, coughed a few times and waved his hand gently. The barrier around Youqin Xuanya instantly dissipated.

She turned around and looked at Li Changshou at once. There was an uncontrollable joy on her cold and beautiful face. “Chang…”

“Disciple-Niece Xuanya, you’re really lucky!” “Disciple-Niece Xuanya actually broke through to the early-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm!”

“The opportunity to ascend makes me envious!”

The immortals and disciples of the Immortal Du Sect surrounded her. However, Li Changshou remained calm. He began to pretend that he had realized something and prevented Youqin Xuanya from approaching him.

He was also preparing to break through to the sixth level of the Dao Requital realm…

However, Li Changshou had only “broken through” for two days when he suddenly felt something strange. There seemed to be a mysterious Dao rune that wanted to pull him into the dream.

That feeling was rather familiar…
