Reborn as a Snake: Forging a Demon Court Starting from a Black Python

Jinghai Dragon King stared at Crab King with a puzzled look on his face. He didn't understand what Crab King meant and wanted Crab King to explain more clearly.

"Although I am also a Dragon King, I am not valued among the dragon race and have been banished to remote seas, akin to being exiled."

"Normally, the Dragon King of the East Sea only sends someone to see me once every few years, and he only asks for tribute, never showing me any respect."

"But this time, why is this crab general saying I'm going to perform meritorious service? Could there be a trap here?"

The thought flashed through the mind of the Dragon King of the Still Sea, making him even more cautious. He didn't ask any questions, worried that this was a trap.

However, Crab King refused to speak directly, fearing that if the news spread, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals under the Jinghai Dragon King would try to steal the credit and rush out to capture Lin Xuan.

If we alert the enemy, wouldn't it all be for nothing?

Crab raised both of its pincers above its head, lowered its body, and adopted a very humble posture, showing utmost courtesy.

Then he said:

"Reporting to the Dragon King, this matter is of great importance, and I dare not speak it lightly."

"Why don't you take me to the palace, and we can talk things out again?"

Crab Da's secretive behavior greatly displeased the shrimp soldiers and crab generals under the command of the Jinghai Dragon King.

Even if you, Crab King, came from the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, you can't talk like that!

And you even said you'd let the Dragon King take you to the palace? Who do you think you are?

The Dragon King of Jinghai was also displeased, but being a man of deep composure, he did not show it and said calmly:

"Very well then, come with me."

He turned around, his massive body gliding gracefully through the water.

Even though the crab was not far away, it didn't notice the slightest ripple in the water.

This shows that the Jinghai Dragon King's water control abilities have reached an extremely high level.

Crab's big eyes lit up. Not daring to be negligent, it followed the Dragon King of the Still Sea and quickly moved its six claws.

The Dragon Palace of the Jinghai Dragon King could not compare to the East Sea Dragon Palace, but it was still quite luxurious.

This is normal; there are even sayings like "poor temples with rich abbots" in the human world.

No matter how remote the Jinghai Sea may be, it will not fail the Dragon King.

Moreover, the Dragon King of Jinghai also enjoys causing trouble. In order to obtain incense offerings, he even went so far as to relocate people from the mainland, traveling thousands of miles.

He was naturally even more motivated to build his own dragon palace.

Normally, if Crab King saw the appearance of the Jinghai Dragon Palace, he would definitely praise it and take the opportunity to gain some benefits.

But it had no such thoughts at the moment. Once it was certain that it and the Dragon King were the only ones around, it immediately spoke.

"Dragon King, you may not know, but a major event recently occurred on Earth!"

"In Hangzhou, there is a Jinshan Temple, within which lies a dragon's aura. A daring dragon dares to attack this aura!"

Jinghai Dragon King was not stupid; he became invigorated as soon as he heard Crab King say those words.

That dragon must have succeeded, otherwise Crab King wouldn't have come looking for me.

Interrupting Crab's words, he took the initiative to ask:

"After that dragon obtained the dragon energy, could it have come to our East Sea? No, it must have come, and it's right near my Jinghai, isn't it?"

Crab King hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, it is indeed as you say, that dragon has not only settled nearby, but it is currently outside your Dragon Palace!"

These words surprised the Dragon King of the Still Sea, who stared wide-eyed.

In an instant, a powerful dragon's might descended from nowhere, causing Crab to tremble all over and become unable to speak clearly.

"Your Highness, Dragon King, please let me explain..."

Crab then recounted in detail what had just happened.

After listening for a while, the Dragon King of the Still Sea gradually calmed down, withdrew his dragon might, and began to ponder.

"It turns out this crab general was unlucky; it ran head-on into that dragon and was taken in as its subordinate."

"Although the Crab General is unlucky, he's not entirely stupid. He knows there's no future following the Flood Dragon, so he's come to pledge allegiance to me, the true descendant of the Dragon!"

"That dragon is incredibly stupid. The Crab General came to deliver the wanted notice issued by the Dragon Palace. If the Crab General hadn't come, I wouldn't even have known the notice existed, so why would I have gone looking for him?"

The Dragon King lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked:

"I heard you say that there were two snake demons beside that dragon. How strong are they?"

Crab Da dared not be negligent and honestly replied:

"Of those two snake demons, one had an extremely bad temper but its cultivation was quite ordinary. The other snake demon, however, was much more powerful, possessing over a thousand years of cultivation!"

"A thousand-year-old snake demon?" Even the Dragon King of Jinghai found this somewhat troublesome.

The demon race is not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao. Unless they cultivate orthodox Xuanmen techniques, they will encounter a calamity every few hundred years.

If that snake demon has truly cultivated for a thousand years, it must have already survived a tribulation, and its strength is extraordinary!

If Lin Xuan knew the Dragon King's thoughts, he would definitely agree.

Although Bai Suzhen's level is not as high as Jinghai Dragon King's, she is a proper boss template.

The Jinghai Dragon King is merely a top-tier elite monster.

The panel properties are different.

In comparison, that slight difference in rank is nothing.

The Dragon King hesitated for a long time, wanting to back down, but when he thought of the dragon aura on Lin Xuan's body, he couldn't bear to part with him.

"If I capture Lin Xuan, I will not only have rendered a great service, but I can also seize the dragon energy within the dragon's body before the news reaches the East Sea Dragon Palace!"

"Although I am a true dragon, the Crab General also said that the dragon energy originated from Jinshan Temple, which suggests it is related to the divine dragon of Buddhism. By obtaining this dragon energy, I have formed a good karmic connection with Buddhism..."

The Dragon King of Jinghai gritted his teeth: "Are you sure that thousand-year-old snake demon didn't come, and that there's only a flood dragon outside?"

Crab understood the unspoken meaning of the Dragon King of the Still Sea. He placed his two pincers together, making a bowing gesture, and said:

"The snake demon did not come; only the dragon remained outside the palace."

"If Your Majesty is still worried, I have another plan!"

"I can go out and deceive that dragon again, and tell him that you are not smart and that I have fooled you into thinking you are a god from heaven, and that you should take the initiative to welcome him into the palace."

"Then I'll tell him that your magical power is weak and you're no match for him at all, and he'll definitely get excited."

"If he enters your Dragon Palace, wouldn't he be at your mercy? Even if the snake demon senses something is wrong and rushes over, you can activate the Dragon Palace's formation and keep her outside!"

Crab King launched into a long and rambling speech, which the Dragon King of the Still Sea listened to with nodding approval. As he looked at Crab King, his gaze softened.

He never expected that this crab could come up with such a scheme; it was truly wicked.

"But I like it!"

The Dragon King of Jinghai laughed heartily, his voice echoing throughout the Dragon Palace, leaving the shrimp soldiers and crab generals outside the palace utterly puzzled. What was my Dragon King laughing about?

They all turned around to look, whispering to each other.

Inside the Dragon Palace, the Dragon King of the Tranquil Sea did not delay. He said to Crab King:

"If you can really lure that dragon into the palace, I'll give you credit! Then I'll go see the Dragon King of the East Sea and have you work under me."
