Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 602 Reasoning
The soft and clear voice spread throughout the place through the thick rain curtain.

The monsters were startled and confused.

What's going on? Didn't the princess admit that Ao Chun was wrong and would not pursue the matter anymore? Why did she suddenly summon that Beiyuan man Xiu?
Jiao Jiu reacted the fastest, his expression changed immediately and he exclaimed, "He can't leave!"

Ao Yi remained calm: "Why?"

"Princess, why are you asking when you already know the answer?" Jiao Jiu sneered, "This boy has taken the pearl left by our ancestors. How can I let him go so easily?"

He didn't finish his words. Perhaps he felt his tone was too intense, so he paused and continued, "What's more, this person is just a cultivator and has no connection with the Dragon Palace. Is it not possible for me to keep him here?"

After saying that, he signaled to Yuan Gao with his eyes.

Yuan Gao understood what he meant and immediately echoed his words.

Ao Yi paused, and his beautiful eyes cast their gaze on Chen Mu. A smile flashed across his face and he chuckled softly, "No."

Instantly, Jiao Jiu's expression tensed, and he muttered, "Is the Princess determined to seize my Mo Yuan inheritance?"

"Mo Yuan inheritance?"

Ao Yi shook his head and snorted, without saying much, but stepped forward and landed in front of Chen Mu.

Her eyes looked directly at Chen Mu. She gathered her sleeves, held out her hand, and smiled faintly: "Give it to me."

Although there were only two short words, Chen Mu seemed to hear thousands of words from them.

He also smiled faintly, and without any hesitation took out the Taixuan Dragon Ball and placed it in Ao Yi's hand.

"This……"

The demon cultivators' hearts skipped a beat, and they realized something belatedly...

"This cultivator is actually the eldest princess's man?"

"I was wondering why this person had so many hidden tricks up his sleeve. Turns out he's a disciple of the eldest princess!"

"I didn't expect the princess to have plans for the Dragon Ball..."

"Nonsense, that's a true dragon pearl. Which dragon wouldn't be tempted?"

……

After a few words, the group of monsters guessed the relationship between the two and all of them showed a surprised expression, except for these two.

One is the Green Scaled Demon King. She has a close relationship with the eldest princess and had not heard of this matter in advance, so she was suspicious.

The second one was Ao Chun, who looked extremely angry and wanted to yell at Chen Mu: "You are indeed my eldest sister's disciple, why did you lie to me before and say you are not!"

If Chen Mu could hear the questions in his heart, he would probably cry out in injustice.

Even if he was really Ao Yi's disciple, he hadn't deceived Ao Chun. After all, he usually avoided answering questions on this matter...

Seeing Chen Mu's cooperation, Ao Yi was secretly happy even though he had expected it.

But her personality was destined not to show it, so she looked calmly at the dragon ball in her hand and said loudly: "What is Mo Yuan's thing?"

The demons turned to Jiao Jiu, but before he could say anything, Ao Yi continued, "Just now, Daoist Jiao said that this dragon ball was a Taixuan relic. I wonder if Daoist Jiao still agrees?"

Jiao Jiu snorted coldly: "Precisely because it is the relic of Taixuan Patriarch, it is my, Mo Yuan's inheritance!"

Ao Yi smiled slightly and said loudly: "Fellow Daoist Jiao, what you said makes sense, but it is also wrong."

"May I ask what the Princess really means? Instead of explaining the ownership of the Dragon Ball, she's trying to implicate Jiao?" Jiao Jiu, determined to rip the relationship apart, no longer held back, and launched into a barrage of sarcasm. Ao Yi remained unperturbed, turning to the other demon kings, "I want you all to understand that our Dragon Palace never bullies others. What I'm saying to Jiao Daoist is simply for the sake of reason..."

Xiong Cang and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. While those involved were confused, those who were watching could see clearly. They had already vaguely guessed what Ao Yi was going to do...

"reason?"

Jiao Jiu sneered: "Then the princess needs to explain it clearly."

Ao Yi's expression straightened, and he said loudly: "Tai Xuan is Mo Yuan's man, so his relics naturally belong to Mo Yuan, but this dragon ball is different!
Everyone knows that Taixuan borrowed the scales of the Dragon Palace's ancestral dragon to advance to the realm of divine transformation and achieve the body of a true dragon. Since he inherited the cause of my dragon clan, he must naturally bear the corresponding consequences. This is the truth of heaven and earth!"

Before she finished speaking, she turned to look at Xiong Cang and smiled slightly, "Take Juding Mountain for example. A thousand years ago, Senior Xiong Zhao borrowed a pool of Hai Ze Spirit Water from the Dragon Palace in order to replenish the Blood Refining Demon Pool of Juding Mountain.

Although I haven't repaid you yet, as long as I tell you directly from Dragon Palace, will Brother Xiong Cang still refuse to pay you back?"

Xiong Cang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and cursed in his heart, why did he involve Ju Dingshan? But he also knew the truth that Ao Yi said, that they did owe a favor to the Dragon Palace.

So he could only force a laugh and say, "Of course not. My Juding Mountain has always been clear about gratitude and resentment. For thousands of years, we have benefited greatly from the blood pool. As long as the Dragon Palace needs it, Xiong will naturally offer rewards..."

Ao Yi smiled with satisfaction and waved his hand, saying, "A mere pool of sea spirit water is nothing. The reason I brought up the past is just to reason with Fellow Daoist Jiao."

Jiao Jiu's heart sank, and he suddenly lost his courage.

But Ao Yi didn't stop yet. He glanced at the other demon kings and called out their names.

"The Monkey Wine of Zhuyan Mountain is renowned in southern Xinjiang. Many of the techniques were learned from my Dragon Palace, right? When Green You Mountain faced a powerful enemy back then, wasn't it the Dragon Palace that came to your aid, allowing you to pass on the legacy?"
The same is true for Silver Moon Mountain. The secret technique borrowed from Dragon Palace back then hasn't been mentioned yet? And there are also Nine Sacred Mountains, Xuanzheng Mountain, and Qingze Lake..."

Every time she mentioned the name of a force, a demon king's eyes flickered and he became embarrassed and speechless.

When it comes to those who owe favors to the East China Sea Dragon Palace, almost every famous force is involved.

One reason is that Southern Xinjiang is adjacent to the East China Sea and the two sides often have exchanges. The other reason is that the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea is rich in resources and generous, and almost all requests will be granted.

Over the past ten thousand years, there is almost no demon tribe that does not owe a favor to the Dragon Palace.

This was also one of the reasons why Xiong Cang and the others were unwilling to get involved in the dispute between Mo Yuan and Dragon Palace...

Ao Yi spoke slowly, his expression relaxed. After mentioning Xiong Cang and the others, he smiled slightly and stopped talking.

When she finally stopped, everyone, whether they had been talking or not, breathed a sigh of relief.

After some thought, they stood up one after another to express their opinions.

"Princess, from now on, 20% of every Monkey Wine produced from Zhuyan Mountain will be sent to the Dragon Palace..."

"Princess, I, Luyoushan, will always remember the kindness of the Dragon Palace. From now on, if you need me, I will do whatever it takes!"

"Princess, the Silver Moon Mountain is not an ungrateful tribe. Karma is a cycle, this is the law of nature. The Taixuan Pearl belongs to the Dragon Palace!"

……

Jiao Jiu's face had turned gloomy. He looked at Xiong Cang and others, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Yuan Gao shook his head and sighed, and made a decision in his heart to no longer wade into this muddy water.

Ao Yi looked calm. He reached out his hand to stop the demons from expressing their opinions and said softly, "Fellow Daoists, please don't misunderstand me. I am not asking for anything in return. Instead, I want to make things clear with Daoist Jiao."

She looked at Jiao Jiu and said, "Let me ask you one more question. Do you understand what is reasonable, Fellow Daoist Jiao?"
