Chapter 337 No One Knows More Than Me (Stalling For Time]

Li Changshou had understood one logic in his previous life.

“Behind every glorious performance, there is a lot of hard work done by the people behind the scenes.” When Ox-head and Horse-face appeared in a unique and cool pose, Li Changshou was also getting busy and working hard behind the scenes. He first used a miniature array formation to amplify the sound and add to the atmosphere. He kept adjusting his position outside the main hall and rubbed the two chains around to create some sound effects…

The Great Daoist Master, who was hiding in the dark, watched this scene with a smile. He was already used to it.

Fairy Yun Xiao’s expression was rather subtle. Her beautiful eyes shone as she stared at Li Changshou’s back while he swam around.

The way Li Changshou handled things was completely different from the way she was used to handling things. She would usually have a conversation with the other party, talk about each other’s background, and then fight when they were at a disagreement.

Um…

It was filled with wisdom.

In order to make the Great Daoist Master and Fairy Yun Xiao feel a little involved, Li Changshou took the initiative to share with them the voice transmission he was sending to Ox-head and Horse-face…

“Hold your heads high and puff your chest out. You have to have an imposing aura. You are now representing the Magi. The Magi, the ancient Kings of Earth, condensed from the bloodline of the Great God Pangu. How can they lose their reputation before the dragon race? What we need to do now is to stall for time. The first priority is to scare them. Think of these dragons as wooden sculptures…” As he cheered, Ox-head and Horse-Face straightened their backs even more. The blood energy in their bodies became more intense.

In the main hall of the Dragon Palace, Ao Shi’s attack was completely disrupted because Ox-head and Horse-face appeared.

“Netherworld officials?”

“Magi? When did the Dragon Palace receive the Magi?”

“Your Highness, these two Magi are not weak. Could it be that they have some plans?” Ao Shi shot a glance at the dragon elder beside him. The latter immediately moved forward. His aura surged, and his palm became a claw. A purple-red vortex slowly rotated in his palm. The elder said coldly, “Could it be that the Netherworld is going to interfere with the matters of the dragon race?” Ox-head and Horse-face smiled coldly and did not say anything. They just stood still with their arms crossed like two demonic gods! The elder of the dragon race frowned and took two steps forward. Three old men with dragon heads immediately followed behind him. They vaguely surrounded Ox-head and Horse-face.

Behind Ox-head and Horse-face, the group of dragon experts and Immortal Flood Dragon troops protecting the West Sea Dragon King were also stunned.

If the people who came to help today were Heavenly Courts Generals and the experts from the other Three Sea Dragon Palaces, it would be reasonable and within expectations.

However, the Magi that suddenly appeared were Magi of the Magi race who had nothing to do with the dragon race… The dragon was confused.

At that moment, a voice transmission entered the West Sea Dragon King’s ears. It was naturally Li Changshou… “Dragon King, it’s me, the Heavenly Courts’ Water God. I was the one who had temporarily pulled these two experts of the Magi here to help. The enemies are powerful, so I used a tactic to stall for time. Please cooperate with me, Dragon King, and act calm… Yes, stay calm and composed. The situation is in hand.”

On the throne, the West Ocean Dragon King, who was originally hunched, immediately sat up. His eyes flashed with a divine glow before he returned to his usual calm state.

Such details made Ao Shi and the rebel army even more afraid.

Ao Shi narrowed his eyes and shouted in a low voice, “No matter who it is, those who stop the revival of the dragon race will be killed without mercy!” At that moment, the four experts of the dragon race in front of him expanded their auras and pounced forward at the same time!

“Hold on!”

Horse-face’s eyes widened. He suddenly shouted, and the four old dragons who were in human form, stopped! In an instant, hundreds of gazes gathered on Horse-face. However, Horse-face calmly took out a stone comb… and tidied his elegant and smooth

mane.

“I’m done.”

The four dragon experts were burning with anger. Just as they were about to continue attacking, Ox-head coughed softly. Suppressing the voice in his heart, Ox-head said, “Before you take action, consider carefully. The dragon race is not in the line of reincarnation. I can’t guarantee that some strange things won’t appear in the West Ocean in the future. Moo ~”

The four old dragons frowned and turned to look at Ao Shi. Ao Shi held his sword and walked forward quickly. He scolded, “I have nothing to do with the Netherworld. What are the two of you doing today? Reincarnation is a huge matter of the Heavenly Dao. How dare you threaten me with this!”

Ox-head spread his hands. “Then go to the Heavenly Courts to complain to the Heavenly Emperor.”

Ao Shi could not help but glare at him and scold, “You Netherworld officials are threatening others with the matter of reincarnation and doing whatever you want!”

Horse-face calmly added, “Fellow Daoist, you’re wrong.” He neighed afterwards. “The two of us are Netherworld officials in the first place and we rushed here to the West Ocean to perform our duty of capturing souls back to the Netherworld to allow them to enter the reincarnation cycle. However, when we saw that the two of you had gone overboard, we stood up to do justice and say something fair.”

Ox-head nodded. “To be honest, we are indeed just passersby. Whatever happens here has nothing to do with us.”

Horse-face continued, “However, before you take action, can you think about what wrongs the West Ocean Dragon King has committed?” Ao Shi barked, “You guys!”

“Don’t be anxious, Your Highness. We’re just standing up to speak up for justice.” “If such a tragedy really happens in the West Ocean Dragon Palace, we can only suggest to you, Lord Yama, to give the high-quality reincarnation dragon souls to the dragons of the other three seas.” “Of course, we’re just making suggestions. Low-ranked Generals of the Netherworld do not have much authority.”

At that moment, the two of them chatted and joked. They were also quite serious, causing the dragons of the Dragon Palace to be speechless. Ao Shi could not help but shout, “Kill them!” The four dragon-headed elders were prepared to attack for the fourth time, but a vast pressure emerged from behind Ox-head and Horse-face. The West Ocean Dragon King stood up and looked at the place coldly. The four dragons instantly fell silent. Ao Shi subconsciously took half a step back. Just as the West Ocean Dragon King was about to reprimand him, Li Changshou’s voice sounded in his heart.

The Dragon King made a decision in an instant and repeated Li Changshou’s voice transmission. “If you retreat now and leave the West Ocean, I can spare your life on the account of our old friendship.”

Ao Shi sneered and said, “Father, do you think that two Netherworld servants can turn the situation around? I have admonished him dozens of times, but my father turned a blind eye to it. Our race actually submitted to such weak Heavenly Courts… Father, do you know what you look like when you bow down to the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Courts? You looked just like an old dog wagging his tail and begging for pity. Hahahahaha!” The West Ocean Dragon King fell silent.

Li Changshou sent a voice transmission. “Don’t be angered by him, Dragon King. We should take the overall situation into consideration. If the Dragon King and Dragon Queen are fine, the West Ocean Dragon Palace will not collapse. What I have to do now is to stall them. Please reply according to my instructions, Dragon King.” “Ah.” The West Ocean Dragon King sighed slowly. There was a hint of pity in his eyes as he looked at the familiar faces behind Ao Shi.

The West Ocean Dragon King continued, “Ao Shi, tell the person who instigated you to come out. Since we have already fallen out today, why are you still cowering? Since you are fearless, why don’t you stand out openly?” “Father, you’re afraid.” Ao Shi suddenly laughed and said calmly, “Father, you actually planned to delay and wait for the three uncles to come and save us. There is no need to think too much. They will soon be unable to take care of themselves. Father, why don’t you abdicate and hand over a wisp of dragon soul? I will not make things difficult for you. However, if you continue to be stubborn!”

Ao Shi took a deep breath and raised the sword in his hand. Golden light shone from his body. “I will have to kill you in order to revive the dragon race. Everyone, what are you waiting for?!”

Behind Ao Shi, the experts of the dragon race agreed in unison. Their auras gathered.

There was a tinge of sadness on the West Ocean Dragon King’s face. At that moment, thousands of figures were ready to attack outside the hall. Ao Shi took a step forward. The army of traitors was about to attack again! “Hold on!”

Ox-head shouted again and forcefully stopped the other party’s momentum. The few old dragons were so angered that they were about to pounce on them and tear them apart. However, this time, Ox-head said calmly, “If you want to fight, don’t hurt our brother.”

Horse-face neighed.

Horse-face said calmly, “We’re only here to steal your souls. If you guys aren’t ruthless enough during the battle, your souls will be dealt with by us.” Ox-head continued, “The Netherworld has never interfered with the killing of living beings. We are only in charge of the reincarnation of the soul. Moo

Then, Ox-head and Horse-face turned around calmly in front of hundreds of people and walked towards the corner at the back of the hall. The entire hall was so quiet that the sounds of a pin being dropped could be heard…

When the two Magi walked to the corner, they turned around and raised their feet at the same time, making an inviting gesture. “Begin your battle. Moo ~” “We, the Netherworld officials and Soul-Reaping Envoys will sincerely provide you with excellent post-war services. Neigh ~”. After saying that, Ox-head took out two coconuts from his chest while Horse-face took out two reed poles from his sleeve and they each gave one of their items to each other. They skillfully broke the coconut shell and inserted it into the reed. Their majestic bodies then leaned against the wall of the main hall.

This time, it was not just the rebel army. Even the dragon experts in front of the West Ocean Dragon King were speechless.

Are all the Soul-Reaping Envoys of the Netherworld so annoying? Ox-head and Horse-face looked at each other, their eyes filled with emotions… This kind of experience, this kind of comfortable feeling of swaggering around in front of a group of experts. The other party was clearly about to explode from anger, but he could not attack them directly… He was at the peak of the Magi! The rebels lost their patience. Ao Shi roared, “Kill them!”

A dragon elder asked in a low voice, “Your Highness, are you going to kill the Netherworld servants or…” “Don’t worry about them. Today, we will revive the dragon race!” Ao Shi’s eyes were filled with malice. He raised his sword and charged forward. Hundreds of dragon experts followed behind him. The dozens of dragon experts in front of the West Ocean Dragon King also unleashed their power and wanted to fight each other to death.

However… a deep voice echoed throughout the main hall, shaking the clouds. Chanting sounds could be heard everywhere. Dao runes circulated in the seawater, and mysterious Dao runes flowed out. A golden ray of light appeared in the middle of the main hall.

That phenomenon made both parties stop again…

In the golden light, wisps of water essence flowed and condensed into an emerald-green… calabash vine.

There were seven gourds on the calabash vine. The seven gourds gathered seven different Dao runes and were slowly swaying.

At that moment, a figure appeared out of thin air under the calabash vines. The dragons looked over and saw the person who had arrived. He had white eyebrows, white hair, and a thin face. He was dressed in a white, wide-sleeved robe and held a horsetail whisk in his hand. Who else could it be but the Heavenly Courts’ Water God, Li Changgeng?

Ao Shi’s expression changed. The experts of the dragon race were shocked. They did not know why the Heavenly Courts’ Water God would appear there. They had clearly made extremely careful preparations. Previously, they had meticulously searched every corner of the West Ocean Dragon Palace.

Li Changshou was calm and composed. He held his horsetail whisk and swept his gaze outside the hall. He smiled and said, “Dragon King, please rest for now. I’ll settle the matters in this place.” The West Ocean Dragon King sighed and cupped his hands at Li Changshou before returning to his throne.

Suddenly, he heard a sharp whistle. A purple arrow came from outside the hall and shot towards Li Changshou’s heart!

The arrow was like a poisonous scorpion, emitting an obscure Dao rune!

Poison?

Li Changshou raised his eyebrows. Golden light flashed around him, but he did not dodge or move. He just stood there quietly and endured the arrow!

However, there was a soft ding as the purple arrow was blocked.

There was not a single crease on Li Changshou’s long robe. There was a wisp of mysterious yellow aura lingering around him, and it disappeared into his body.

The purple arrow broke and was burned clean by the True Samadhi Flames that Li Changshou threw out. The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda of Heaven and Earth! It was impervious to all Dharma and could not be broken by anything except a Connate Cardinal treasure! Li Changshou actually did not understand why such a defensive treasure had to be placed on his head to let others know what the exact defensive treasure was.

Wouldn’t that be exposing his trump card for no reason?

In Li Changshou’s opinion, the only thing that was worth revealing was the Golden Body of Merit. That was because the Golden Body of Merit was a form of deterrence. Even the Saint would have to be wary when he attacked him.

At that moment, the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda was hidden and did not appear. It was hiding in the spot where his essence soul was. The dragons below were all stunned. They did not know how he had blocked the sneak attack arrow and hence, were even more afraid of him.

The effect was obviously different.

Li Changshou chuckled and said, “Fellow Daoist, why don’t you come in and have a chat? Don’t hide. Do you think I don’t know your background?”

As soon as Li Changshou finished speaking, a few cold snorts sounded from outside the hall. A group of figures in cloaks and exuding a ferocious aura rushed into the hall and mixed among the experts of the dragon race.

At that moment, there was a series of sounds.

Li Changshou turned around and his eyes lit up. He smiled and said, “Yo, the two Netherworld envoys are here too.” Ox-head and Horse-face chuckled.

Ox-head held the reed rod in his mouth and said, “We’re here to reap a soul. Water God, don’t bother about us. Moo ~”

Horse-face shook his smooth mane and said calmly, “When the Water God attacks later, please leave some souls intact. We will wait to report back. There are some indicators on it. The dragon soul is also rare. Neigh -” “Sure, sure.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “There’s no need for me to personally deal with these scoundrels. Please take a look at this treasure!”

Li Changshou swept his horsetail whisk and the Calabash vine above his head slowly descended. It landed in front of the dragons and ferocious beasts of the Western Sect.

There were seven completely different Dao runes circulating on the gourd. Five of them were clearly the power of the five elements. Li Changshou’s identity, the power that he had accumulated previously, and the strength of his body when he blocked the arrow just now…

The moment the treasure appeared, Ao Shi’s Adam’s apple trembled.

What treasure is this?

An expert hiding under the cloak said coldly, “Water God, do you think that this is the ancient immortal vine that can stop us?” “Everyone, you might not know, but this immortal vine of mine has an extraordinary origin.” Then, Li Changshou swept his horsetail whisk. He was just stalling for time. Why did he have to fight and kill? He could just be as mysterious with his words as possible and keep the suspense. Lightning flashed under the horsetail whisk, and a thin bolt of lightning struck the gourd on the leftmost side of the Calabash vine. The gourd exploded, and golden light surged inside. A boy in a short-sleeved shirt and shorts jumped out. The boy wore a red gourd on his head. His entire body was surging with the aura of the Golden Immortal realm. He had a sharp aura.

After he jumped to the ground, he immediately did more than ten back-flips. He posed in a simple manner and shouted, “I, the eldest child, have extraordinary strength!” The rebels from the Dragon Palace frowned. The dragon immediately stood up and was about to say that he was going to fight. Suddenly, there was a thunderclap. Another bolt of lightning struck the second gourd on the Calabash vine. The gourd exploded and another boy jumped out…

After deliberately wasting time to show off, the boy posed beside the big baby. “I, Second Child! Provide a smooth-sailing journey!”

Then…

“I, Third Child! Reinforce Iron Bones!” “I, Fourth Child, Control the Heavenly Fire!”

“I, Fifth Child! Suck the four seas dry!”

“I, Sixth Child!”

The dragons looked over, but they only heard his voice and did not see him. They subconsciously looked up at the Calabash vine and realized that the sixth gourd had indeed cracked. At the place where the voice came from, another voice sounded. “Stealth Move!” Therefore, most of the dragons looked at the seventh gourd. Li Changshou deliberately kept them in suspense and did not shake his horsetail whisk.

The atmosphere in the hall became more and more solemn. The six gourd boys that had landed previously, apart from the sixth one that was a little confusing, had gathered their auras and vaguely formed a certain array…

However, how could they resist so many experts? Ao Shi narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Water God, is this your method?” Li Changshou smiled and calculated the traces of the three experts in his heart. He realized that he had completed most of the mission.

He flicked his horsetail whisk again, and another bolt of lightning struck the seventh gourd. The gourd split open, and a graceful figure flew out from within. It was a young girl who was standing beside the six children. She blushed and waved her handkerchief as she spoke in a coquettish voice. “I, Seventh Baby, hate it.” Many young dragon experts slipped and fell to the ground.
