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

Overjoyed, Crab exclaimed, "Dragon King, rest assured, I'll bring that fool in right away!"

Having said that, Crab no longer hesitated, turned and left, almost rushing out of the Dragon Palace, leaping out of the water, and returning to Lin Xuan, forcing a smile.

"Master, this is great news! That Jinghai Dragon King is a complete fool; I fooled him completely..."

Lin Xuan stared at the giant crab in front of him, a cold smile flashing in his eyes. This crab was quite the trickster.

His gaze swept over the system notification that had just popped up, and he had already made up his mind.

[Warning! The loyalty of your pet 'Crab' has dropped to 0 and it could run away at any time. Please increase its loyalty as soon as possible!]

"Master, did you hear what I said?"

Crab had been talking for a long time, and his mouth was dry; the foam on his lips had dried up.

Seeing Lin Xuan bowing his head and remaining silent, as if deep in thought, it urged him on:

"That fool is still in the Dragon Palace, waiting to receive you, a celestial being from the Heavenly Court! He's completely unprepared right now; if you strike suddenly, you'll surely capture him!"

"Then...then you will occupy this Dragon Palace, seize the Dragon King's throne, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Lin Xuan's lips twitched; he was quite certain that this crab was digging a hole for itself.

It's impossible for the Dragon King of Jinghai to be completely unprepared; on the contrary, that Dragon King probably already knew his identity.

Once you enter the Dragon Palace, a fierce battle awaits you.

However, Lin Xuan was not worried. He looked down at the sea and began to examine the shrimp soldiers and crab generals through the water.

"The level of these shrimp soldiers and crab generals is the same as I remember, which shows that the Dragon King of the Still Sea isn't particularly strong."

"Even if I fight it head-on, I have a very high chance of winning!"

"If I retreat now, although I won't take any risks, my wife will absolutely insist that I move away and leave the East Sea."

"Only by killing the Dragon King of the Tranquil Sea, stirring up the waters, and sending out countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals to search everywhere, making it difficult to leave in the short term, will my wife temporarily abandon this idea."

Lin Xuan came to the East Sea not only to devour the dragons in the sea and eventually evolve into a true dragon, but he also had other ideas.

The East Sea may seem unremarkable now, but Lin Xuan knows that many important events are about to happen here.

The great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods is about to begin. Although the East Sea is not the center of this calamity, it is connected to many smaller sub-districts.

Taking advantage of the initiative, Lin Xuan can also reap considerable benefits.

But if we just leave like this, wouldn't we be missing out on a great opportunity?

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan spoke:

"Alright! Since that Dragon King is so foolish, how can I miss this golden opportunity? You lead the way, and come with me to meet this idiot."

Upon hearing these words, Crab was overjoyed, as if hearing heavenly music, and almost jumped for joy.

But it knew its place and dared not show it too obviously. Suppressing its joy, it said in a deep voice:

"Master, although that Dragon King is quite foolish, you can't be too careless! Why don't you go and inform Madam first and ask her to come along?"

"Heh, this crab even knows how to use reverse psychology?" Lin Xuan sneered inwardly, his face remaining impassive as he waved his hand and said:

"No need! My cultivation is already quite strong, and I've even absorbed dragon energy before, so why should I worry about that Dragon King? Lead the way quickly!"

The giant crab stopped trying to persuade him, brandished its large pincers, broke through the sea surface, and led the way for Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan also acted like a senior master, truly resembling a deity who had cultivated for countless years, standing tall and proud, following behind Crab Master.

At this moment, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals of Jinghai Dragon Palace were completely dumbfounded. They looked Lin Xuan up and down, wanting to ask him about his identity, but they were worried that Lin Xuan might have a powerful background.

Asking a question rashly will anger this important person, and you'll be in deep trouble.

They were caught in a dilemma, unsure of what to do.

Finally, Crab King spoke up: "What are you all standing there for? Come and pay your respects to the immortal!"

"I have already spoken to your Dragon King and invited this immortal to stay in the Dragon Palace for a while."

"Are you still blocking my way? Are you trying to ruin your Dragon King's plans?"

Upon hearing this, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"

No wonder you crab were shouting about some kind of achievement just now; you were trying to get my Dragon King to curry favor with the gods in Heaven!

That's so spineless... That's wonderful!

Although Jinghai is remote, even these shrimp soldiers and crab generals know that the dragon race is no longer as powerful as it was countless tens of thousands of years ago.

The dragons of the world either seek refuge with Buddhism, becoming guardian dragons for those bald men, or they bow down at the feet of the Heavenly Court.

Although they all have the title of Dragon King in name only, in reality they are nothing more than lackeys of the Heavenly Court.

Especially the Dragon King of the Tranquil Sea, he's not even ranked in the East Sea, he's just a wild dog.

If the Dragon King of Jinghai could truly win the favor of a celestial being, he would be transformed from a stray dog ​​into a domesticated dog – that's a level up!

The shrimp soldiers and crab generals dared not slack off any longer and rushed over, forming two rows to create a main road that led straight to the main gate of the Dragon Palace.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan became even more smug, his nose in the air, and walked straight ahead.

Inside the Dragon Palace, the Dragon King of the Tranquil Sea was extremely excited upon witnessing this scene. His massive body spun around, as if he wanted to rush out immediately and capture Lin Xuan.

"No, we can't rush! Since this dragon dared to attack Jinshan Temple, it must have some strength. If I rush out now, I might scare it away."

"Let's wait until he enters the palace!"

The Dragon King of the Tranquil Sea suppressed the burning desire in his heart, forcibly calmed down, curled up on the palace, and secretly forged a precious sword, hiding it under his body.

Then he silently recited the incantation, preparing himself so that he could immediately activate the palace's array as soon as Lin Xuan entered.

Then we can catch them like turtles in a jar!

[Ding! You are entering the Jinghai Dragon Palace!]

This scene is the home ground of the Serene Sea Dragon King, whose power has been enhanced.

[WARNING! The Jinghai Dragon King has modified the scene settings. This scene has been transformed into a battle instance. You will not be able to escape unless you defeat the Jinghai Dragon King.]

Lin Xuan remained unfazed and continued striding forward.

As he drew closer to the Dragon Palace gate, both Crab King and the Sea Dragon King grew increasingly nervous, fearing that Lin Xuan would notice something amiss and retreat.

However, what you fear most is what happens.

When Lin Xuan was only one step away from the gate, he suddenly stopped, his expression suggestive.

"This Dragon Palace is indeed quite nice; it makes me feel close to it."

Crab's heart was pounding in his chest; he wanted nothing more than to kick Lin Xuan through the door, but he didn't dare. So, he patiently asked:

"My lord... Immortal, you've never been here before, so why do you have this feeling?"

Lin Xuan turned his head, stared at the rows of shrimp soldiers and crab generals behind him, and said calmly:

"Big Crab, you don't understand. I am actually a dragon! Of course I feel close to the Dragon Palace."

Crab almost lost his temper. "You're a dragon, how dare you call yourself a real dragon? You're not worthy!"

But it couldn't speak its mind, so it could only lower its head, hoping that Lin Xuan would stop talking big and hurry up to find the Dragon King of the Still Sea!

The other shrimp soldiers and crab generals were even more curious: could this immortal be a dragon?

Didn't they say that the Heavenly Court looked down on the Dragon Clan?

It is also said that he is a descendant of the ancient dragon race, with noble blood and great strength.

So even though the Heavenly Court disliked him, they dared not neglect him and still treated him as an honored guest, even granting him a celestial position.

Many shrimp soldiers and crab generals stretched out their claws and scratched their heads, wanting to ask questions but hesitating and feeling very uncomfortable.

Lin Xuan chuckled, offered no further explanation, and strode into the Dragon Palace.

As he stepped through the door, a tremendous roar resounded.

A pale blue light shield suddenly rose up and instantly enveloped the entire Dragon Palace.

The light shield seemed easy to break, but all the shrimp soldiers and crab generals knew that it was an extremely powerful formation, and even a light touch would cause serious injury.

"Did the Dragon King activate the formation? But why?"

"I understand! It's because our Dragon King wanted to properly entertain the immortal and was worried about being disturbed, so he did this!"

After discussing it for a while, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, thinking they knew the truth, were all relieved.

Several large crabs approached the giant crab and tried to ingratiate themselves with it, hoping to find out Lin Xuan's identity.

However, Crab King had no time to chat with these crabs.

Its two eyes were fixed on the Dragon Palace, filled with anticipation.

"That idiot must have realized something's wrong and is starting to panic, right? But it's too late! Hopefully, the Dragon King can capture that fool quickly!"

Contrary to what Crab Da had expected, Lin Xuan immediately heard a commotion behind him after entering the Dragon Palace.

But he didn't panic; instead, he became even more relaxed.

Isolated within the Dragon Palace by the formation, they could not leave, but the shrimp soldiers and crab generals outside could not enter either.

He only needs to face one enemy: the Dragon King of the Serene Sea.

"Unfortunately, there's no suitable historical allusion to invoke when dealing with this Dragon King; otherwise, I would be even more confident in this battle."

Lin Xuan shook his head slightly and continued forward.

Seeing this scene, the Jinghai Dragon King, who was coiled up in the main hall, finally couldn't help but speak up. Too lazy to pretend anymore, he directly exposed Lin Xuan's identity:

"Sinner, why are you shaking your head? Are you regretting it? Or are you afraid?"

He bombarded Lin Xuan with questions, his tone flippant, clearly treating him like a piece of cake.

This is not because the Dragon King of Jinghai is arrogant.

He didn't have a system panel and couldn't see Lin Xuan's level, but he could still roughly tell Lin Xuan's strength.

"But your fear is useless! A dragon that has cultivated for hundreds of years dared to offend Jinshan Temple and provoke the Heavenly Court; it has long since met its demise!"

"Today you die by my hand, and you will die a worthy death!"

As he spoke, the Dragon King of the Still Sea vanished from his spot with a whoosh.

[Warning! The Dragon King of the Tranquil Sea has launched an attack on you!]

【LV50·Tranquil Sea Dragon King】

The system notification had just sounded when an extremely long health bar appeared in front of Lin Xuan's eyes, almost filling his entire eye socket.

At the same time, a powerful gust of wind rushed out from the rear, carrying a fishy smell—it was the gaping maw of the Jinghai Dragon King!

The attack by the Jinghai Dragon King was very sudden, but Lin Xuan was prepared.

He remained calm and unhurried.

[Dragon's Tail Swing!]

In an instant, a phantom appeared behind Lin Xuan. It was incredibly fast, and even the Jinghai Dragon King didn't have time to react before being struck by the phantom and sent flying far away.

Boom!

The Dragon King of the Still Sea crashed onto the palace floor with a tremendous sound, which was heard even by the shrimp soldiers and crab generals outside the palace.

"What... what's going on now?"

"Could it be that our king performed some kind of supernatural power to entertain the immortals?"
