Chapter 1953 - 628: The Sea Clan’s Conch Sounds (Part 3)
The cruelty of war lies in this: between two utterly opposed races, only slaughter can eliminate the hatred that exists.
Old Liu was not very satisfied with the value Stockton brought, despite the Six-winged Heavenly King’s contribution. He had taken down at least a dozen Superorder Creatures in the Southern Cross Star Forest, yet the essence blood collected by Guoguo was still insufficient for her to advance to a Saint Level Common Rank Mage, even with the king’s essence blood added; the difficulty of advancing to Saint Level is obvious.
As for Old Liu himself, he was rather unlucky. Originally, the souls he killed in Southern Cross Star Forest could supplement his Shadow Servant’s abilities through absorption, but after the battle ended, Helen and Moer chanted the "Spirit Communication Battle Song" which turned all souls into smoke and dissipated ----- they did this because they feared the powerful resentments from so many Superorder Creatures and ultimate powerhouses would become unmanageable undead spirits. However, their concern inadvertently deprived Old Liu of an opportunity to cultivate Shadow Servants.
Compared to Guoguo’s advancement, Old Liu’s loss in terms of Shadow Servants is almost negligible. If it weren’t for Nirwinke now being Helen’s official magical pet within her Hibernation Badge, Liu Zhentian would indeed be tempted to slaughter it for blood as well.
The second major trade Old Liu finalized was collaboration with the Tang Zang Empire.
Although "Fortune Jade Bowl" did not belong to Tang Zang Empire’s assets, when the fragmented jade was thrown before the Eastern Prince, he was so heartbroken as if his beloved treasure was destroyed, losing the courage to stay in Feilengcui.
Even Old Liu’s promise to help Tang Zang Empire assemble a Phantom Beast Dragon Corps couldn’t alleviate the Prince’s despondent mood.
"If this were within Tang Zang territory, I would definitely kill you!" The Tang Zang Prince spoke viciously to Old Liu.
A single sentence from Old Liu dispelled the Prince’s deep-seated hatred in an instant.
"I can help your top master ’Bearded Guest’ safely advance." Liu Zhentian responded: "I overheard you mention before that within your Tang Zang palace lies ’Nine-Turned Golden Pill’, capable of directly advancing a level, but your top master, ’Bearded Guest’, worries about not being able to withstand the ’Nine-fold Thunder Tribulation’ during the ordeal, thus has always been reluctant to take it. I can ensure his safety when taking the pill and facing the ordeal!"
The Prince was completely convinced, for this Saint Xiao of Aegean Continent had the equivalent status of Silk Continent’s Thunder Tribulation Golden Immortal. If he was not confident, who else in the world could safely face the ordeal?
"But you need to give me some time to prepare. Before that, you should banish the Jade Emperor to Demon World!" Liu Zhentian’s expression was akin to a devil tempting one to fall: "Heh heh, I will take responsibility for my actions. Since I destroyed the Silk Fortune Jade Bowl, then at least give me a chance to create a Lord Saint Xiao for you. The value of a Saint Xiao should be equivalent to the Fortune Jade Bowl?"
"No problem! Any Mana Elixir you need in the future, our Tang Zang Empire will cover it all." The Prince pounded his chest loudly.
Demon Clan, oh Demon Clan, Nai’aozu, oh Nai’aozu, don’t blame me, you forced me to this position! Liu Zhentian coldly chuckled in his heart. This vicious thought had brewed for a long time; before, he intended to use it on Guoguo for her advancement to Saint Level, but now, during unfortunate times, Guoguo remained unable to advance to Saint Level Common Rank Mage, and the Demonic Sea Clan he brought to Aegean, only a bold move remained.
Having settled these two major deals, Liu Zhentian then braved himself to visit the two Dragon Cities.
Besides offering sincere apologies and condolences, he presented the Holy Giant Dragon egg as a gift of penance to Rainbow and Morning Star Dragon Cities.
Agassi and Bojixiao, the two Dragon City chiefs, flatly denied the egg was a Holy Giant Dragon egg.
Their reasoning was substantial: the dragon egg’s incubation period lasts hundreds of years, and if there is no blood relation, the egg would be extremely resistant to hatching. Validating whether the egg belonged to a Holy Giant Dragon is operationally unrealistic.
In truth, anyone with discerning eyes could see that rejecting the acceptance and verification of the Holy Giant Dragon egg’s authenticity was merely a subdued expression of the two Dragon City chiefs’ anger towards Old Liu.
The total annihilation of the Giant Dragons sent to Southern Cross Star Forest struck the Dragon Cities with a shock and sadness beyond words.
Especially the sacrifice of five Fairy Dragons and Seven-Colored Dragons nearly severed the direct lineage of both Dragon Cities!
Currently, the legitimate Holy Giant Dragon lineage couples consist only of Agassi and Bojixiao, the two city chiefs.
Because the five married Fairy Dragons were wed to Lower Rank common male dragons, Daisy and Nana are also Feilengcui Overlord’s wives. The only remaining three unmarried Seven-Colored Dragons in Morning Star Dragon City in the future would have to seek Lower Rank common female dragons to mate in order to propagate. Given the reality that very few female Giant Dragons reach third rank, the future concerns of these two Dragon Cities are immense indeed.
However, the complete annihilation of so many Giant Dragons wasn’t Old Liu’s deliberate malice, but rather casualties under the overwhelming double-layered force of Forbidden Curse and domain. To speak highly, these Giant Dragons all perished for the protection of Aegean’s safety, so no matter how furious the two chiefs were, they couldn’t openly turn against Old Liu.
Accompanying Old Liu in visiting the Dragon Cities was Castle Lion Dragon Lan Ruoshi, somewhat easing the melancholy shrouding the two Dragon Cities. Yet, there were no unmarried Fairy Dragons in the Dragon Cities currently. Faced with the beautifully gem-like dragon deciding to settle permanently in Aegean, Agassi and Bojixiao, the two city chiefs, felt overwhelmed when thinking of his lifelong matters.
