Hell Emperor.

Chapter 401 Ye Jie-Mission
After hearing what the Dragon King said, even Ye Jie couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"I thought that meeting the Big Head Fish King was just a coincidence, but I didn't expect there was such a connection... So it seems that the Big Head Fish King did not choose the wrong dragon when he first came to Meng Junyao for help."

Ye Jie sighed with emotion. He wondered what the little yellow dragon, who was far away at the Ascension Conference, would feel if he heard that Meng Junyao, whom he had never met before, was willing to stand up for him.
"Fated people, are we doing the right thing?"

Meng Junyao blinked. With her knowledge, she could not understand the relationship between the two, so she looked to Ye Jie for help.

"Of course... The Bighead Fish King asking you for help may not just be a coincidence, but a destiny. Rather than pure luck, it is more of an inexplicable fate. The origin and demise of fate contain the truth of immortality, which is absolutely beyond the grasp of ordinary immortals. Even if ordinary practitioners are determined to pursue it, in the end it will only be in vain and add to their troubles."

Ye Jie answered carefully, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Meng Junyao gradually became unusual.

If this happened to Nan Linghe, perhaps it could be explained by good luck, but Meng Junyao was different. She did not have the same good luck as Nan Linghe, so it would be more appropriate to describe it as fate.

At this time, Ye Jie seemed to remember something and said with emotion:
"I remember that Aunt Meng in the past practiced the way of fate and had a deeper understanding of fate, which is why she spared no effort to find the person with whom she was destined to meet... I thought Aunt Meng's understanding of fate disappeared with her reincarnation, but I didn't expect that the power of fate still remained in you."

Hearing this, although Meng Junyao could not understand the deep meaning of Ye Jie's words, she could hear that he was praising her and could not help but smile.

After some thought, Ye Jie said to the Dragon King, "Since the little yellow dragon is at the Ascension Conference, and a friend of mine will be heading to Fangzhang Fairy Island soon, it won't be too late to visit him then. In fact, I came to the Dragon Palace this time for another unwelcome request..."

Taking the opportunity to mention the Kaibozu who was blocking the way, as well as the miraculous water wave formation that could neutralize all attacking forces, Ye Jie sighed:

"Now that the Resurrection Festival is approaching, I must rush to Japan as soon as possible to meet with the Lord of the Witch God Temple, but this demon fairy is blocking my way, which is really annoying. I have heard for a long time that the Dragon King of the East China Sea is the ruler of the entire East China Sea. He has a better understanding of everything in the sea than all the demons. I wonder if he has any advice on this water wave formation?"

After listening to Ye Jie's story, the Dragon King looked at Meng Junyao and hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"Master of the Golden Wheel Palace, this is a feud between you and the Witch God Palace. I shouldn't have intervened. Not to mention that you transformed into an evil dragon in human form, which is even more despised by the dragons in the world. However, since you have always been kind to the dragons around you, I will tell you how to break the water wave formation..."

Hearing this, Ye Jie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that bringing Meng Junyao to the Dragon Palace was indeed the right choice. True dragons were rare in the world, and as members of the same dragon clan, the relationship between them was closer than that of other demon clans. Even if Ye Jie used the divine dragon to transform into a dragon, it would be difficult to gain recognition from other dragon clans. If it weren't for Meng Junyao, things would not have been so easy.

In addition, Ye Jie heard something else: "You said the grudge between me and the Wushen Temple? But it was clearly Haifangzhu who blocked my way... Could it be that this matter is actually related to the Wushen Temple?"

In response, the Dragon King simply said, "Master of the Golden Wheel Palace, you should know better than me what you did. This is a grudge between you two. Even if you ask me, I don't know."

Ye Jie was silent, thinking carefully, what had he done? Did he occupy the spirit veins and injure the ghosts of the Wushen Temple, or let the evil spirits go, causing everyone in Japan to be in danger? Did he promote the life trade, causing chaos in the human world, even affecting Japan, or did he serve the Lord of the Demon Luo Temple, preparing to take this opportunity to assassinate the Lord of the Wushen Temple in one fell swoop?

If you think about it carefully, any one of these would be enough to displease the Witch God Temple. Now that they let Umibozu stop them outside the island to give themselves a warning, it is understandable.

Just as Ye Jie was thinking, he heard the Dragon King say, "Before I tell you the method, you need to do something for me. There is a reason for this. What do you think?"

Ye Jie nodded. The Dragon King was in the East China Sea and his situation was delicate. It was understandable that he did not want to get involved in the fight between the two Yama Palaces.

Asking me to do something for him could, on the one hand, solve the trouble at hand, and on the other hand, provide an excuse so that even if the Lord of the Witch God Temple investigates him in the future, he can distance himself from the matter.

Seeing this, Ye Jie immediately said: "I wonder what the Dragon King wants me to do? Just tell me, I will do my best to complete it."

The Dragon King stroked his beard and said, "A precious fish I raised escaped from the Dragon Palace not long ago. I am very worried about its whereabouts. If it is injured, I really don't know what to do... In order to avoid being tracked by the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, it hid in the mud and sand on the seabed. If you can find the precious fish, I will tell you how to break the formation."

"A precious fish?" Ye Jie nodded. This task didn't sound difficult. "Where was this precious fish last seen?"

"It's just southwest of the Dragon Palace. If you walk along this side, you will find the traces of its escape. I have already told my shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and they will assist you."

After learning the last place where the treasure fish appeared, Ye Jie set off without stopping with Meng Junyao, and soon found those strange traces.

There were many overturned fish cages on the side of the road ahead, the surroundings were in a mess, large areas of buildings were damaged, and many shrimp soldiers were lying on the ground, their cries of grief could be heard everywhere.

Seeing the miserable state of the seriously injured shrimp soldiers, Meng Junyao was a little worried: "Baoyu can injure these shrimp soldiers, so his realm must be very strong. What if we can't defeat them?"

Ye Jie was very helpless: "The realm of these shrimp soldiers is not as high as that of the shrimp soldiers guarding the gate of Dragon Palace. You are worried that you can't defeat them now, but why didn't you worry when you agreed to challenge the Big Head Fish King together?"

Meng Junyao showed a look that seemed to indicate she understood, it turned out that the shrimp soldiers who looked similar in her eyes could actually have such a huge difference in their realms.

Following the traces, they soon came to a sea area covered with mud and sand. There were constant rapids in the sea, which brought up a vast sand fog that blocked the view ahead. Every step forward required a great effort.

"It seems that this is where the precious fish is hiding..."

Seeing the scene ahead, Ye Jie also made a judgment in his mind. He found a shrimp soldier who was wandering outside the mud and sand with a fearful look on his face, and asked, "Is the Dragon King's precious fish just ahead?"

The shrimp soldier looked a bit embarrassed. "Are you the Yama who just came to Dragon Palace? The treasure fish did disappear from here, but the deep sea mud is all over the front, and even the perception will be completely suppressed. We can't see anything at all. We don't know where the treasure fish is at all."

As he spoke, the shrimp soldier also showed some worry: "The Dragon King must be dissatisfied with our poor fishing skills, so he asked you to help us, but we have no other options. If this continues, I'm afraid we'll have to ask the Dragon King to take action himself, or find a sea dragon to use its power to control water to smooth the mud and sand, so that the road ahead can be clear. But where can we find a sea dragon..."

"Hai Long?"

Ye Jie touched his chin. With his Wuji-level Divine Dragon Transformation, it was not difficult for him to transform into a sea dragon. When he was about to use his power, he glanced at Meng Junyao beside him. It would be better to leave this rare opportunity to Meng Junyao. "You are a water dragon, which is somewhat similar to a sea dragon. You can perform the magical powers that a sea dragon can perform, but it takes a lot of effort. How about it, do you want to calm the mud and sand in front of you?" Ye Jie asked.

Meng Junyao blinked: "If this can help the destined person, of course I want to do it!"

After saying that, Meng Junyao swam forward. She took a deep breath, and the dragon's belly bulged up like a huge ball, and then it spewed out a rapid wave of water.

Under the influence of the power of the dragon, the torrent contains the purifying power to cleanse all things, and also contains the miraculous effect of penetrating into every pore.

However, where the rapids passed, the deep-sea mud that was originally restless and confusing and blinding was now smoothed out by a strange force and sank obediently to the bottom of the sea, and the road became unobstructed.

The torrent spewed out by Meng Junyao was only about ten feet long, which was insignificant compared to the spacious area filled with mud and sand in front. Although her breath could achieve miraculous effects, it would take a long time to completely calm the mud and sand in the area ahead.

Not long after spitting out the torrent, Meng Junyao felt tired. Not only were her movements slow, but her dragon eyes were also filled with lingering fatigue.

Seeing this, Ye Jie supported Meng Junyao to prevent her from falling into the mud, and reminded her: "At your age, it is already amazing that you can do all this. According to the growth standard of a real dragon, you are still just a baby dragon. Let me do it next."

In response to this, Meng Junyao puffed her lips, and her young face showed a bit of unwillingness to admit defeat.

No one knew what she did, but her body split into three and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into three identical water dragons. Even Ye Jie, if he hadn't looked carefully, couldn't tell which of these three identical figures was Meng Junyao's real body.

What surprised Ye Jie even more was yet to come. Meng Junyao was split into three, and each of them spewed out a strong torrent, increasing her efficiency by three times.

"This is... a mirage dragon illusion? How can you do this?"

Seeing Meng Junyao's actions, Ye Jie thought about it and soon understood the reason. It was her innate magical power, the mirage dragon illusion.

Among all the grades of innate magical powers, the mirage dragon illusion is the most practical and also the most powerful. Once Meng Junyao activates the mirage dragon illusion, her body will be divided into three. Each illusion is flawless. If you don't observe carefully, you can't tell which one of these illusions is Meng Junyao's real body.

At the same time, the illusion can also imitate Meng Junyao's movements. No matter whether she uses the power of the dragon, spews high-pressure torrents, or performs other skills, the power of the illusion's imitation is no less than that of the original body. If this move is used against the enemy, it can be said to be invincible.

The Mirage Dragon Illusion was a very powerful first-grade talent. Under the protection of other family members, Meng Junyao had almost no chance to fight alone and cast the Mirage Dragon Illusion. Now, at Ye Jie's request, she had the chance to show it in front of him.

Seeing that Ye Jie was stunned by her moves and speechless for a long time, Meng Junyao's eyes showed a hint of pride. Soon, when the mud and sand completely settled, the sharp-eyed shrimp soldiers also discovered a bright golden light from the silent muddy sea.

"It's the Dragon King's precious fish! Everyone, hurry up and catch it!"

Finally they found the trace of the precious fish. The shrimp soldiers were so excited that their formation suddenly became chaotic. Every shrimp wanted to rush forward to catch the fish, but the fish turned out to be as slippery as a loach. It escaped from their encirclement many times and stirred up the deep sea mud again, which made the shrimp soldiers very anxious and angry.

Seeing this, Ye Jie couldn't help but hold his forehead: "No wonder those shrimp soldiers let this precious fish escape, let me catch it."

After saying that, Ye Jie immediately practiced his internal energy, raised his right hand, and grasped it in the air. The precious fish that had just been swimming around was suddenly fixed in place, unable to move at all.

"The Dragon Catcher is still more useful. However, it is a bit of an overkill to use it to catch fish. How can a Dragon Catcher that can catch a real dragon let a fish escape?"

After catching the precious fish back in front of him, Ye Jie couldn't help but sigh.

Beside him, Meng Junyao still had that smug look on her face, feeling very proud of herself for having made the first contribution in catching fish, and said proudly: "I am a milk dragon, I can spray water, can you?"

Ye Jie smiled helplessly and praised: "Thanks to you, we were able to successfully catch the precious fish. Well, let's bring this precious fish to the Dragon King. The precious fish has been missing for so long, I think the Dragon King must be anxious waiting."

Holding the precious fish in his hand, he saw that the fish had an extraordinary aura, with golden scales shining all over its body and giving off an aura of auspiciousness. He didn't know what kind of precious species of fish it was.

Judging from the original traces, not long after this precious fish escaped, the Dragon King couldn't wait to ask Ye Jie to catch it back. It seems that the relationship between the precious fish and the Dragon King should be quite close.

However, all this has nothing to do with Ye Jie. No matter what kind of magic is hidden in this precious fish, that is the Dragon King's business. What Ye Jie has to do is just to catch it and get the method to break the formation.

Returning to the Dragon Palace, the Dragon King had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing Ye Jie finally return and catch the precious fish, he immediately laughed: "Great! The Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace was able to catch the precious fish so quickly. I finally have dinner!"

"..."

The corner of Ye Jie's mouth twitched. After all this time, what the Dragon King asked him to catch turned out to be his dinner. He had thought that this precious fish was something special.

"Since I have brought the precious fish back, please keep your promise, Dragon King, and tell me how to break the water wave formation." Ye Jie said seriously.

"No problem." After receiving the treasure fish, the Dragon King's expression became joyful, and he told Ye Jie the method to break the water wave formation in detail, "If you want to break the water wave formation, you need..."
