I start by marrying Yunxiao, who's in a vegetative state; I'm invincible in the primor

Zhulong was overcome with grief, tears streaming down his face.

Zhulong had a nightmare in which he dreamt that after his elder brother Zulong left, the dragon clan retreated to the four seas. Although they were not as powerful as before, they were safe and sound.

Relying on the wealth of the world, they recuperated and gradually recovered their vitality.

Until a wicked scoundrel emerged from the dragon race, who dared to act recklessly and plunged the dragon race into utter ruin...

Zhulong awoke, but his injuries, which had just begun to heal, worsened again due to his anger. "What a...so...real dream..."

The strong smell of blood filled the nostrils of the Candle Dragon.

Beside them, the three Dragon Kings, Ao Run, Ao Qin, and Ao Shun, wailed, "Ancestors, Ancestors, this is not a dream!"

"This time, our dragon race is probably truly doomed."

hum!

Zhulong was brought into reality.

Inside the Crystal Palace, coffins lay everywhere, and the stench of blood filled the air!

Zhulong suddenly stood up, pointed at Ao Guang who was hanging up, his body trembling more and more violently.

Zhulong was so angry that he fainted again.

After a long time!

Zhulong awoke again, gritting his teeth, "Come on!"

"Take off that dragon robe!"

clap clap!

Another 1,200 lashes fell.

Ao Guang was already bruised and battered, trembling with fear. "I was wrong, grandson knows he was wrong, please spare my life, ancestor!"

Zhulong roared angrily, "Spare you? Who will forgive my dragon race?"

"Ao Run! Ao Qin! Ao Shun! Bring me the Deep Sea Ice Thorns!"

Upon hearing this, Ao Guang trembled even more violently!

What are those deep-sea ice thorns?

It is a spiritual plant that grows in the deep sea and is nurtured by the cold air from the confluence of the four seas. It is non-toxic!

However, it was covered with barbed thorns.

If a cultivator touches it, the barbs will pierce their flesh, and the more they struggle, the deeper the piercings will go!

Bleeding? No way!

The icy chill penetrates deep into the flesh and bone, like thousands of ants crawling on the flesh!

Ao Run, Ao Qin, and Ao Shun's expressions changed drastically upon hearing that their ancestor intended to use "torture," but they dared not disobey his decree. "Big brother, oh big brother, what can we say to you?"

The Three Dragon Kings retrieved the Ice Thorn.

Zhulong raised his hand, and a beam of red light severed the crystal chains that were suspending Ao Guang!

Ao Guang scrambled and crawled, dragging his disheveled body to hug the leg of the Candle Dragon Ancestor. "Ancestor, you won't punish me? I knew you cared about me."

"I truly know I was wrong."

"Thank you, Ancestor, for giving me this opportunity."

Zhulong gazed at Ao Guang, who was covered in tears and snot, and sighed, "You unfilial grandson, living in the primordial world, you must understand one thing."

"If you're wrong, you're wrong; if you're going to be punished, you have to stand up straight."

"The mistakes you made should not be borne by the entire dragon race."

Zhulong touched Ao Guang's face with heartache, "Carry the Ice Thorns on your back and go with the Ancestor to the ancestral land of the human race to apologize."

Ao Guang trembled, his whole body shaking, "Grandfather... your grandson can't bear this..."

"My dear! If you can't handle it, can the entire dragon race withstand the First Emperor's boundless wrath?"

Ao Guang shook his head in fear.

Zhulong shouted sternly, "Will you carry it yourself, or will I carry it for you personally?"

The Three Dragon Kings sighed deeply, "Brother, hurry up and carry it. If the Ancestor carries it for you, it won't just be a matter of cutting a few pieces of flesh."

After saying this, the three Dragon Kings gritted their teeth, took off their dragon robes, and each selected several bundles of ice thorns to carry on their backs!

"Ah!" The Three Dragon Kings of the Seas screamed in agony, collapsing to the ground and wailing.

"Big brother! It's your turn."

Ao Guang's eyes darted around. "My three younger brothers carried it for me, so I..."

Zhulong was truly enraged. "You're hopelessly stupid! You deserve to die!"

Ao Guang truly felt the ancestor's killing intent this time, and dared not say another word.

Ao Guang hurriedly put the ice thorns on his back, and convulsed in pain, howling and screaming in agony!

"Walk!"

Zhulong raised his hand and cast a spell, lifting the Four Dragon Kings of the Seas out of the Crystal Palace and out of the sea!

Zhulong did not immediately take the Four Dragon Kings to the ancestral land of the human race!

Instead, it floated on the surface of the East China Sea, slowing down and deliberately cruising around!

Zhulong's move also had a deeper meaning!

First, apologize to the human race!

Second, let all living beings in the primordial world see that the dragon race has yielded and shown its attitude, so that the First Emperor can "take advantage of the situation and back down"!

Zhulong, having lived for hundreds of millions of years, vaguely guessed the intentions of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, Li Yu.

If they really wanted to destroy the human race, why would they need to mobilize the human army?

Even without Styx and Kong Xuan taking action, their disciples could easily annihilate the Dragon Clan!

In other words, Ao Guang's blindness and willingness to die gave the First Emperor the opportunity to establish his authority over the dragon clan!

The Four Dragon Kings, carrying deep-sea ice thorns on their backs, floated above the sea and slowly flew towards the ancestral land of the human race!

Countless living beings and powerful beings from the primordial world witnessed the battle in the East Sea!

Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Has the Ancestor Zhulong emerged from seclusion?"

"Great! As soon as we came out of the pass, Zhulong was dumbfounded and sweating profusely."

"Who understands! The moment the Ancestor emerged from seclusion, he found the sky had fallen!"

"What are those things the Four Dragon Kings carry on their backs?"

"It's not there!"

"Fellow Daoist Yang Ju, are you there? What do you think?"

Yang Ju Daoist: "This time, I'll stand and watch."

"If I'm not mistaken, it's a unique product of the four seas, growing in the deep sea, called Ice Thorn, with barbs that pierce the flesh of cultivators..."

"It really is Fellow Daoist Yang Ju; he knows so much."

"Are you married? I have a furnace cauldron... oh no... daughter, which I may give to you, fellow Daoist."

"A furnace? What furnace? We've discovered a demonic spy here!"

"With Zhulong stepping forward and the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas apologizing, the Dragon Clan has completely given in."

The ancestral home of humankind.

Li Yu lay in a rocking chair, sipping tea, and said, "After fighting for so long, can't I enjoy myself a little?"

"A dragon version of 'bearing thorns to apologize'? Interesting."

"Six Ears".

"Disciple is here."

"Order Yousheng and Xiaohu to halt the attack!"

"yes!"

Six-Eared Man flashed to the shore of the East Sea. "Emperor Qin Shi Huang decrees! Halt the attack!"

"Yes!" The Human Race's Fire Army obeyed the First Emperor's decree.

"Thank you for making the trip, Brother Liu Er."

"We're all family, why bother with all the hardship?"

then!

Liu Er waits on the shore of the East China Sea!

Not long after.

Zhulong went ashore and reached the shore of the East Sea.

Before Liu Er could speak, Zhu Long greeted him first, "Greetings, young friend Liu Er. Meeting you today, I am truly impressed by your divine presence and unparalleled elegance..."

Liu Er was stunned by what he heard.

A demonic aura? Me? Peerless beauty? Me?

Liu Er couldn't help but recall the days he spent as a wild hermit in the mountains before he became an apprentice...

And today? Zhulong, a once-glorious figure whose seniority surpasses even that of the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Nuwa, is boasting and bragging about himself.

Liu Er was extremely excited, filled with gratitude and appreciation for his teacher!

If it weren't for my teacher's help, I'd still be a wild animal in the mountains, and I might have been killed someday.

Being wild is fine, being free and unrestrained.

But becoming the First Emperor's direct disciple would open up even more possibilities for me, Liu Er.

Six Ears: "I really want to improve! My mentor has given me the strength to reach the clouds! I will brave the snow to climb to the mountain peak!"

"This humble Taoist, Liu Er, greets the Venerable Zhulong."

"You're too kind, young friend."

Then Zhulong sighed deeply, "Such a wicked creature has emerged from our clan, damaging the relationship between humans and dragons. I am deeply troubled and cannot eat or sleep. The grave mistake has been made. Therefore, today I have brought this wicked creature from our clan to plead guilty before the First Emperor. I will leave my punishment to the First Emperor and will have no objection!"

Zhulong has already lowered his stance to the extreme. There's no other way; it's all for the sake of the dragon race!

P.S.: I've been rushing to the hospital a lot, so please forgive any delays. I'll kowtow deeply in apology.
