Alchemy Dao Immortal

Chapter 529: People in Danger and Their Identity Revealed
The beaded curtain was drawn aside, and Zhou Qing strode in.

The hall is extremely deep and mysterious. A rectangular carpet in the center is laid on a mirror-smooth brick surface. Rows of pillars stand tall on both sides with exquisite carvings on the pillars. Windows are neatly arranged, and the faint light that comes in is touched by the patterns on the windows, making them hazy and colorful.

There is a jade table placed under each pillar, behind which sits a great demon, dressed in gorgeous clothes, looking arrogant and domineering. The demonic aura on his body rises to the sky, and there is a continuous cloud of evil.

Zhou Qing's eyes swept over the monsters. Their clothes were obviously uniform, strictly ordered, and divided into ranks. At first glance, it looked like the morning court of a secular dynasty. It was indeed the Dragon Palace and Water Court.

In the center of the hall, there is a jade platform with countless white dragon patterns painted on it. When the light shines on it, it seems to come alive, shaking its scales and tail, with clouds and mist rising up. The Dragon King sitting on the platform looks like he is behind a curtain, and his face cannot be seen clearly. However, his pair of golden eyes shine down, like the sun and the moon hanging high in the sky, containing incredible power.

The wind comes from the tiger, the clouds come from the dragon, and the one sitting on the jade platform should be the Dragon King of this Dragon Palace.

"Dragon Lord."

Zhou Qing looked up and felt an overwhelming pressure. The Dragon King on the high platform must have the realm and strength of a third-level Xuanmen Yuanying cultivator!

Seeing Zhou Qing coming, the golden eyes of the Dragon Lord sitting above flashed, and his face was hidden behind the heavy light, so it was unclear. Only the majestic voice came down, saying: "General Qingjian is here, please take a seat."

As soon as the sound came out, it was like thunder, shaking the hall.

Zhou Qing bowed and, led by a maid, sat down at his seat.

After a while, a few more people came into the hall, and now everyone was complete.

He sat there, motionless, like a clay statue, but in fact he was secretly observing to check the reality of the water monster in the hall.

Apart from the Dragon King, the powerful monsters in the hall are all stronger than each other. At the very least, there are several monsters that are comparable to Nascent Soul cultivators. And with the strength he has shown, he is also ranked among the top in the hall.

Just as Zhou Qing was lost in thought, drums and music started playing in the hall, and jade chimes began to ring. The monthly Water Court Grand Court Meeting officially began.

Immediately, a demon official in red came forward, holding a jade book in his hand, and read aloud the entries one by one.

Whenever a story was told, a great demon would stand up, walk to the center of the hall, stand still, and answer questions from the Dragon King. In this process, most of the time it was the great demon who spoke, and the Dragon King occasionally asked a few questions, looking very frugal with his words. But once the Dragon King opened his mouth, even the unruly great demons below would sweat on their foreheads and tremble with fear.

Without mentioning the matter of reporting, just looking at the rules in the Dragon Palace and the majesty of the Dragon King, they are far from comparable to the small water palace in the corner of the Jing River. They are completely on a different level.

Zhou Qing listened to the questions in the hall. The content seemed like an introduction, which brought out his dormant memories bit by bit. He sorted them out while listening.

Gradually, most of the court meeting was over. Zhou Qing's face remained expressionless, but his heart was already turbulent. The Dragon King on the jade platform occasionally glanced at him.

This kind of scrutiny was extremely covert. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't be able to detect it. But he was such a man, with an extremely sharp mind, that he could clearly sense the coldness in that gaze.

"Cold."

Zhou Qing was shocked. The Water Palace and the Water Court had their own rules, but the Dragon King was high above and his words were law. Even though he had a certain status in the Water Palace, he definitely could not threaten the other party. Where did this cold murderous intent come from?

For a moment, he couldn't figure it out, so he became more cautious. At this time, a turtle prime minister stepped out. He coughed, attracting the attention of the monsters in the hall. His face turned serious and he said, "I just received a message from Mingluo that the Guanxia Water Palace is under inspection. A true disciple of the Biyou Palace sneaked in and not only sucked out the essence of the water veins in the water palace, but also destroyed everything around it, causing heavy losses to the Guanxia Water Palace. At least, it will take at least three to five hundred years to recover."

"It's the thief from Biyou Palace again!"

"These shameless, dirty and despicable thieves!"

"Hateful, so hateful!"

Hearing what Prime Minister Turtle said, the big demon in the hall was stunned at first, and then exploded, attacking the true disciple of Biyou Palace who destroyed the water palace under the pass.

It’s not that their Water Palace has a good relationship with the Guanxia Water Palace, but to every big monster in the Water Palace, the true disciples of the Biyou Palace who are lurking in the East China Sea are really hateful.

Who among the great water demons would not hate the true disciples of the Biyou Palace who deceived the world, used chickens to lay eggs, and harmed others for their own benefit? In their eyes, the true disciples of the Biyou Palace were the most hypocritical, shameless, and dirty thieves and robbers, and they wished that everyone could kill them!
Zhou Qing also cursed a few times, and his heart felt even colder.

Because when Prime Minister Turtle mentioned that the true disciples of Biyou Palace deceived Guanxia Water Palace and made Guanxia Water Palace prepare wedding dresses for them, the scrutiny of the Dragon King on the Jade Platform became more obscure, but even colder.

Was it because he had revealed his true colors before, causing Long Jun to doubt him?

Zhou Qing was shocked but not afraid as his thoughts kept turning. He had a conclusion: the Dragon King had not taken direct action until now and it seemed that he was just suspicious but not sure.

The mysterious skill of Biyou Palace, "The Picture of the Transformation of the Purple and Blue Saint Emperor into a Dragon", is able to give the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, which has been passed down from ancient times to the present, a headache. It is definitely not a false reputation. It is the kind of skill that can deceive the world, make the fake look real, and is truly seamless.

He has full confidence in this mysterious skill.

Whether it was the Dragon Palace or the Water Palace, no matter what, stability was the most important thing. He had a special position in the Water Palace. If he made a misjudgment, he would not only lose a great general, but would also cause unrest in the Water Palace, which might be unacceptable to the Dragon King.

After the shouting of the monsters in the hall stopped, Prime Minister Turtle continued to speak, saying, "Because of the poor supervision of the Guanxia Water Palace, the thieves of the Biyou Palace have caused trouble. Now the True Dragon Secret Order has been passed down from above. From the Little Dragon Lord of the Guanxia Water Palace on down, all the water officials with ranks will be punished."

The demons in the hall were united in hatred at first, but when they heard this, they were terrified. Every time a True Dragon secret order came down, the punishment would not be light, and in the most serious cases, even the head of a mansion would be arrested.

Prime Minister Turtle noticed everyone's expressions and his voice became calmer. He said, "We in the Water Palace should not have any of them. However, we should pay more attention and observe more. If we find any clues, report them immediately."

"This is good for the Water Palace and good for everyone."

Once a true disciple of the Biyou Palace is discovered, he will be rewarded handsomely. Often, even the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea will send rewards that can make the water monsters soar into the sky.

"All right."

After being silent for a long time, Long Jun spoke. He pointed to a few people and asked them to stay, while the others dispersed and filed out.

And Zhou Qing was one of the few people who stayed behind.
