Sleeping for a second increases my blood energy. I become the strongest sky-swallowing snake

“... ... Good! ”

Ao Xingchi was about to follow, but stopped when he heard Ao Xingzhou's words.

That's right!

Ao Sanqu is not one of us from the South Sea Dragon Palace. This guy has been entrenched in the Two Realms River, always feigning compliance.

If this guy follows, he might cry 'thief!' while being the thief. On the surface, he'd help us find the person, but secretly, he'd send his subordinates ahead to move Bai Chengyou to a different location, or simply to a place that's already been searched. How could we ever find him then?

The Second Crown Prince thought of this and simply turned around, grabbing Ao Xinji as well.

The two of them stood together in front of the door.

He hadn't forgotten that this Uncle Xinji was also from the White Dragon clan!

Even if Ao Xinji wanted to follow Ao Xingzhou to see what was happening, he couldn't just shake off the Second Crown Prince when he was being held back.

Besides, now that the person was already lost, and he didn't know who was responsible, it was better not to go, lest he inadvertently ruin things further.

Staying behind was better.

It was just as well that Ao Sanqu was returning to his underwater dragon palace; he could lend a hand.

This River Dragon King would be more useful back in his own territory than he would be following along!

However, Ao Sanqu was hesitating at this moment.

The person the South Sea Dragon Palace picked up from Xuzhou disappeared in the Two Realms River.

He wasn't the one who did it.

Who could it be?

Could it be that the White Dragon branch had other forces in the Two Realms River?

Or could someone have bypassed him and instructed other aquatic creatures under his command to do this?

If so, what should I do?

Due to his relationship with the Buddhist faith, he was supported by the South Sea Little Dragon Palace to become the River Dragon King. He was the most suspected in this matter.

If Ao Xinji approached him, and he didn't take action, he would inevitably be blamed later.

Now it was good that someone had taken the person away.

Since the Bai family's son was already lost, he had to disassociate himself from this matter!

He had to clear himself of suspicion!

In any case, he couldn't give these two Crown Princes a reason to remove him from the River Dragon King's throne!

Of course, for a moment, this Water Dragon King couldn't help but suspect that this was a trap.

That this group from the South Sea Dragon Palace was stealing from themselves, wanting to find a reason to punish him.

But on second thought, he felt it was impossible.

The South Sea Yellow Dragon clan had always acted straightforwardly, just like they did just now. Seeing that he hadn't come to pay his respects, they picked on his lack of etiquette and directly came to his door to question him.

By using this matter to knock him around, their goal had already been achieved.

Why go to unnecessary lengths?

And risk someone who was extremely important to the South Sea Dragon Palace?

Mortals are very weak, and if something went wrong, they could die. What would they do then?

Even if the two princes were reckless, the South Sea Grand Princess was a sensible person. Since she sent them here, she must have given them instructions.

He had long heard that the several princes of the South Sea were very respectful to the Grand Princess and would not ignore her orders just to torment him, an irrelevant River Dragon King.

Ao Sanqu believed that although he stood on the side of the White Dragon clan, he was still superficially respectful to the South Sea Dragon Palace and would not provoke Ao Xingzhou to the point of taking this risk to deal with him.

Of course, with the opportunity right in front of him, the Eighth Prince would definitely vent his anger by smashing his dragon palace.

Ao Sanqu couldn't help but smile at this thought.

It was just a dragon palace; smashing it was fine.

As long as the treasure vault was safe, everything would be fine.

Not only was the location of the treasure vault hidden, but it was also protected by a defensive formation. Even if the formation was broken, the treasures hidden inside wouldn't be so easy to take away.

Moreover, with Ao Xingzhou's identity as the Eighth Prince of the South Sea, it was impossible for him to blatantly rob the treasure vault.

Even if he did rob it, he wouldn't be afraid. Debts had debtors, and temples couldn't run away!

Even to avoid suspicion, Ao Xingzhou would deliberately avoid it.

Just like now, he had to find a way not to hinder the other party.

But when Ao Sanqu caught sight of Ao Xinji, he had to pretend to be ready to follow.

He took a step forward.

“Hmm?” Ao Xingchi immediately reached out a hand. “White Dragon King, didn’t you hear what my Eighth Brother said?”

“This… Alas!” Being stopped like this, he feigned anger and helplessness. “Second Crown Prince, Bai Chengyou’s disappearance really has nothing to do with me!”

“Since it has nothing to do with you, then you can wait here. After my Eighth Brother searches, we’ll give you a clean slate.” Ao Xingchi said with a smile.

“Second Crown Prince.” Xu Chengxian stepped forward at this time, flicked his horsetail whisk, and said, “You two stay here and watch this River Dragon King. I’ll go help the Eighth Prince!”

“Wait!” Ao Sanqu questioned, “This Fellow Daoist Xu is a human cultivator, how can he enter my Two Realms River to search!”

He, the White Dragon King Ao Sanqu, wouldn't dare stop the South Sea Eighth Prince from searching.

Stopping him would give the impression that he was guilty.

But for a human cultivator to go too, was he trying to take advantage of the situation to rob him?

It was simply outrageous!

Furthermore, human cultivators had many methods. If he went to his treasure vault, could the treasures there be protected?

No way, no way.

“White Dragon King, this poor Daoist was entrusted by the Bai family to protect Bai Chengyou to the South Sea.” Xu Chengxian sneered, “You kidnapped the person, of course I have to go look for him!”

“No.” Ao Sanqu didn't say much, he just wouldn't allow it.

This Xu Daoist and his Two Realms River had quite a few grudges.

How could he let him take this trip?

Even if he went in and didn't take anything away, it would still damage his reputation.

No, no.

Xu Chengxian frowned, not forcing his way in, but also not retreating to sit down.

“White Dragon King, now that things have come to an end, please come over and continue listening to me lecture!” At this time, Chengkong said expressionlessly.

“Master Chengkong, I still need to keep an eye on this Daoist.” Ao Sanqu was stunned and said, “Lest he be dishonest and steal things from my dragon palace.”

“How can you slander someone’s innocence out of thin air!” Xu Chengxian said angrily.

“White Dragon King need not worry.” Lingxiao got up and said, “You come and listen to my senior brother’s lecture, helping him improve his understanding, and I will watch this Daoist for you.”

As she spoke, she made a gesture of invitation.

“I can’t get used to listening to your Buddhist scriptures, but your senior brother’s cultivation is higher than mine, so I’ll give you this face.” Xu Chengxian snorted coldly.

He took the lead and walked towards Chengkong’s side.

Lingxiao had him sit on the futon that she had originally been sitting on behind Chengkong, and she sat in a position further back.

Chengkong began to lecture.

Everyone closed their eyes and listened.

Xu Chengxian flicked his sleeves and closed his eyes as well, assuming the posture of five hearts facing the sky. The spiritual energy on his body flashed, and he began to cultivate.

At this time, Ao Sanqu specifically looked at the flower snake around his waist.

Seeing that the snake was hanging its head and not moving, he closed his eyelids again.

However, what he didn't know was that, with the cover of the Great Monk Chengkong's monk's robe, a flower snake, in a place he couldn't see, had already crawled out from under the hem of Xu Chengxian's back clothes.

It was swimming towards the outside of the wall.
