The competition for the Dragon King has a very important condition, that is, one must reach the level of Da Luo Jinxian. In addition to this hard condition, it also depends on the princes’ contribution and prestige to the Dragon Clan. Therefore, before being promoted to Da Luo Jinxian, In addition to cultivating, the princes have another important task to win over all parties and recruit talents.
Ao Rui, the second prince of the West Sea who was previously killed, was a strong contender for the future Dragon King because of his relationship with his mother and uncle's family. Now that he is dead, there is no need to mention it again. Apart from him, there are no other contenders for the Dragon King of the West Sea except the eldest prince. In addition, there is another prince who is very likely, and this is the fourth prince Ao Ling.
Ao Ling is one of the few princes in the West Sea who has been promoted to Taiyi True Immortal. His personal prestige and strength cannot be underestimated. Behind his back, his sister Ao Jin works hard for him to recruit talents, which has the potential to shake the eldest prince.
This time Ao Jin came to recruit Yin Ming, who will be an important chess piece in the future fight for the position of Dragon King.
Ao Jin never thought that there would be unexpected gains this time. If Huang Heng and the three Da Luo Jinxian were also recruited, then Ao Ling's supporters and forces would surpass the eldest prince. In this way, it would also be a great achievement for the Xihai Dragon Clan. If you do this, you will definitely receive more resources. Once you are promoted to Daluo Jinxian, you can naturally become the new Dragon Emperor.
Once her brother becomes the Dragon King, her younger sister will definitely rise to the occasion, and will play an important role in the West Sea and even the entire world in the future. Even with her brother's help, she may be able to peek into the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm.
When brothers and sisters work together, they can cut through metal.
Ao Jin had a good plan here, but he didn't know that a crisis had arrived.
A few days later, Huang Heng, Jiuling Yuan Sheng, Jing Wuhui and Yi Kuang, four great Luo Jinxian, visited Xianghu Water Palace at the same time. As before, Li Zhen and others followed as their entourage.
The three Da Luo Jinxian's joint visit had already made Yin Ming "flattered" and very fearful. However, when it turned out that there were four of them, he sensed great danger and subconsciously refused their visit, even It is necessary to activate the Xianghu Water Palace Formation to prevent problems before they happen, but unfortunately Ao Jin does not agree with this.
"What about the four Daluo Golden Immortals? With this princess sitting here, how dare they act so arrogantly?"
Aojin was even more excited when she saw the four Daluo Golden Immortals. To her, it was like God was helping her, but she didn't want to think about whether she had the ability to conquer the four Daluo Golden Immortals. After all, her reputation alone could not scare them. .
"Your Highness the Princess, I have no close friendship with the four of them. I must have some agenda here. If trouble occurs, it doesn't matter what happens to me. If I hurt Your Highness the Princess, wouldn't it be a serious crime?"
Yin Ming advised.
"Needless to say, this is their visit, and I want to discuss something with them, so please bring them in quickly."
Ao Jin said arrogantly.
When Yin Ming saw this, he secretly scolded the other party for being stupid, but there was nothing he could do about it. Finally, he let out a long sigh and asked his subordinates to go to Yin Huang Heng and others to enter the palace.
Among Huang Heng and others, there is another member of the Xianghu Water Palace, who is the second master Yin Zhong who was captured before. Before coming, Li Zhen and others had a deep understanding of the strength of the Xianghu Water Palace from Yin Zhong, and now Yin Ming had a conflict with his own clan and wanted to establish his own business, which gave Li Zhen a very good opportunity.
It is not easy for Yin Ming to establish his own business, because the ethnic group will not agree, but if there is a strong backstage support, then the ethnic group will be helpless. The emergence of Li Zhen just makes up for the backing Yin Ming urgently needs to find.
However, there are risks in doing this. It is very likely that he will antagonize the North Sea Dragon Clan. This is something Li Zhen is very unwilling to see. However, in order to win the Middle-earth Heavenly Continent, the negative consequences of antagonizing the North Sea Dragon Clan can be ignored.
As long as Li Yushi succeeds in being promoted to quasi-sage, the Beihai Dragon Clan will definitely not raise an army to hold him accountable.
Everything speaks with strength.
Li Zhen and others were waiting for the arrival of the Jiaolong clan outside the Xianghu battlefield. During this period, they could not help but look at the entire battlefield.
The Xianghu battlefield was the battlefield where the Shui Tribe and the Demon Tribe fought fiercely. Now there are no treasures left in this battlefield, because when they evacuated, the Dragon Clan had taken away all the remaining treasures. So why did Yin Ming still occupy this place?
The reason is simple. He hopes to use the remaining dragon energy here for his own use, thereby giving him a chance to advance to the realm of quasi-sage.
Two dragon quasi-sages died on the Xianghu battlefield. As for Daluo Jinxian, Taiyi Xian and other dragon descendants, the number of casualties reached thousands. This number is very scary. After all, the number of dragons is sparse, and thousands of people were killed in the battle.
This has greatly reduced the strength of the Four Seas Dragon Clan, but there is also a strong dragon energy here, which is a rare treasure for the Aquatic Clan, and can even be described as a panacea.
All this information was learned from Yin Zhong.
Yin Ming has such hope, but in fact he also knows in his heart that it is basically impossible to be promoted to a quasi-sage with the help of dragon energy. However, this is still a little more hopeful than being promoted to a quasi-sage through cultivation.
"Many years have passed since the medieval war, and the dragon energy here is still strong. This shows how many dragons were killed in the war back then."
Li Zhen has had a lot of dealings with the dragon clan, especially his close relationship with Ao Li, and he is quite sensitive to dragon energy.
"The state of quasi-sage cannot be achieved by relying on external objects. Yin Ming's attempt to use this method is obviously astray."
Huang Heng commented unceremoniously.
In fact, everyone knows this kind of thing, but they are still willing to try, and they cannot let go of the ten thousandth chance.
"Yin Zhong, do you think you can make Yin Ming surrender without any bloodshed?"
Li Zhen looked at Yin Zhong and asked.
Yin Zhong fell into deep thought for a moment and said: "It's really hard to say. As far as I know, the West Sea Dragon Clan also wants the prince to surrender, but they haven't taken action yet. If the prince chooses the West Sea Dragon Clan, then he will definitely not surrender to His Majesty."
"The Dragon Clan of the West Sea?!"
When Li Zhen heard these four words, he frowned immediately.
His relationship with Xihai has been on fire and water. If the Xihai Dragon Clan intervenes, this is definitely something he does not want to see, because if one bad move is made, it is very likely to offend the Xihai Dragon Clan again. Coupled with the previous Beihai Dragon Clan, Sihai will offend both families.
, it’s really not worth the loss.
When I went to East China Sea to communicate with the eldest prince of Donghai, the eldest prince hoped that Li Zhen could ease the relationship with Xihai. After all, the four seas are connected by the same spirit. Even if Donghai has a good relationship with Li Zhen, many things still need to consider the internal unity of the clan, and it is impossible to have his own way.
While he was talking, a dragon flew out from the bottom of the lake and came to Li Zhen and others.
"My palace master has invited four golden immortals to enter the palace."
The dragon transformed into a human body with a dragon head, came closer and said respectfully.
While he was talking, he saw Yin Zhong, looked surprised, and hurriedly saluted: "I'm here to see the Lord of the Second Palace! Why are you here..."
When Yin Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He couldn't tell the truth. Wouldn't he lose his face?
"My Lord, I happened to meet some fellow Taoists on the road, so we returned together."
The little dragon had no doubts and immediately led the way to the water palace at the bottom of the lake.
The Xianghu Water Palace is located at the deepest point of the lake, which is thousands of miles away. There are countless bloodthirsty and violent aquariums in the lake. If a monk below the Taiyi Immortal realm sneaks in, he will almost die. This shows how powerful it is, so even if Yin Ming is not in the lake
With restrictions set inside, the aquarium has become a very reliable natural barrier.
Yin Ming has been in business for many years now and has long tamed the water tribe. As long as he is a member of the Xianghu Water Palace, regardless of his strength, he can pass freely in the lake, but outsiders need guidance.
After about a while of tea, Li Zhen and others came to the water palace under his leadership.
Although the Xianghu Water Palace is the residence of Daluo Jinxian, the overall impression given to Li Zhen is that it is really not that good. Not to mention that it is as far behind as the Dragon Palace, and even compared to his Canglang Water Palace in Beppu.
One chip.
It's really a bit shabby.
Yin Ming had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw the four of them standing side by side, their relationship was obviously unusual, he couldn't help but be surprised, and he became even more cautious.
As far as he knew, the relationship between Jiuling Yuan Sheng, Jing Wuhui, and Yi Kuang was not good, especially there were conflicts between Jiuling Yuan Sheng and Jing Wuhui. Among the four, only Huang Heng was enshrined in Wanhe City
, because of his special status and resources, he is recognized as the God of Wealth in the Middle-earth Heavenly Continent, and all parties have to sell three-cent thin noodles.
So Huang Heng was the leader of this visit?
"The four distinguished guests came to the Xianghu Water Palace and were flattered!"
Yin Ming said very falsely.
Jiuling Yuan Sheng is very arrogant. In his eyes, except for himself, other golden immortals are ordinary. However, because he knows Jing Wuhui’s real fighting power, he now only regards Jing Wuhui as an equal dialogue person, so he faces
Yin Ming didn't respond to Yin Ming's greeting at all. Jing Wuhui nodded silently. Huang Heng and Yi Kuang had a good attitude and greeted him politely.
At this time, Yin Zhong came to Yin Ming's side and saluted.
"Meet Big Brother!"
Yin Ming is not Yin Zhong's biological brother, he is just a brother of the same generation.
"The auction in Wanhe City has been a long time ago, why are you back now?"
Yin Ming asked.
Yin Zhong looked embarrassed and was about to deal with it when Huang Heng smiled and said, "I've come to see the Second Palace Master to discuss some matters with him."
Huang Heng successfully attracted Yin Ming's attention to him and said: "Whatever Huang Gongfeng has to do, just give him the instructions. I will ask Yin Zhong to cooperate fully."
Huang Heng thanked him profusely.
After the two sides exchanged some useless polite words, Yin Ming personally led everyone into the water palace, and seated the guests of honor separately in the palace. Among them, Li Zhen and Yun Linglong stood behind Huang Heng, as if they were nephews and juniors.
Yin Zhong sat under Yin Ming, looked at Huang Heng and the others, and sighed secretly in his heart. Now it seemed that the host and the guests were enjoying themselves, but after a while, Yin Ming couldn't find a place to cry.
Yin Zhong didn't mean to remind him. Firstly, it was meaningless. With the arrival of the four Daluo Golden Immortals, there was no chance of winning. Secondly, he was banned, so even if he wanted to, he didn't have the ability.
"The visit of four Taoist friends together is really surprising to me. I don't know why they are here."
The relationship between Yin Ming and Huang Heng is average, so there is no need to continue to be polite, so it is better to get to the point as soon as possible.
Huang Heng glanced at the three Jiuling Yuan Saints and knew that he had to raise this matter by himself. He cleared his throat and said: "Fellow Daoist Yin, the four of us coming this time are actually offering a future. I hope fellow Daoist Yin can accept it."
.”
"Oh? Future?"
Yin Ming did not show an interested expression, but became nervous, which shows that he is a cautious person.
At this time, behind the main hall, the Dragon Girl of the West Sea was hiding behind and listening to their conversation. She wanted to show up before to see what the purpose of Huang Heng and others was and recruit them by the way, but in the end she chose to hide and wait and see what happened.
At this time, Ao Jin pricked up his ears and listened carefully to what Huang Heng said about "the future".
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Yin knows anything about the Chinese nation of Dongsheng Divine Continent?"
Huang Heng said step by step.
"China?"
Yin Ming fell into deep thought for a while, and slowly figured out the clues: "What Huang Daoyou said is that this Hua country is the Hua country of Li Zhen, the son of destiny? If it is this Hua country, then I can be considered a thunderous one. It is said that he conquered it a few days ago.
The Southeast Barbarian Continent is in the limelight for a moment."
"Haha! Not bad."
Huang Heng said with a smile: "Varti's conquest of the Southeast Barbarian Continent is not the end. There are important arrangements for the next step. Prepare..."
Yin Ming was not a fool. He understood the meaning after hearing half of the words and said: "What do you mean, Fellow Daoist Huang, is this Emperor Hua's next plan to take over the Heavenly Continent of China? So the four of you have surrendered to China, and you are here to lobby.
Will I also join the Chinese camp?"
Yin Ming is indeed a hero-like character. He is able to guess the truth of the matter with just a little information, which is very impressive.
"Fellow Daoist Yin is amazing!"
Huang Hengdao: "That's right! Our four families have already joined the Hua Kingdom. We are here under the orders of Emperor Hua. We hope that fellow Daoist Yin will also join the Hua Kingdom."
"Fellow Daoist Yin knows that Emperor Hua is the son of destiny and has deep blessings. He has countless ancient and medieval relics in his hands. As long as fellow Taoist Yin is willing to surrender, it is no problem to be given an imperial-grade magic weapon."
Huang Heng's words really moved Yin Ming's heart.
Yin Ming originally wanted to find a backer, establish his own business, and break away from the control of the ethnic group, so he joined Xihai for this purpose. But if he joined the Hua Kingdom, the Hua Kingdom would also be able to protect him. Although the Hua Kingdom was still very weak, there were people who supported him, even if he was from Sihai.
The Dragon Clan has nothing to do, so under the conditions of merit-based selection, it is more advantageous to invest in the Chinese Kingdom. However, it has already agreed to the Xihai Dragon Clan, and it would be untrustworthy to want to change jobs. Moreover, in this way, it can be regarded as completely offending the Xihai Dragon Clan, which is not a wise move.
.
"Thank you Emperor Hua for being considerate, but I am used to being carefree and carefree, and I really don't want to bow to anyone."
Behind the main hall, Ao Jin was very impressed by what he said. At the same time, he was angry with Huang Heng and others for poaching Xihai, and he was impatient.
The Xihai Dragon Clan has already had a grudge against Li Zhen. Li Zhen's poaching over this matter is really too much, and he has made it clear that he has a grudge against Xihai.
This was an injustice to Li Zhen. Li Zhen didn't know that Yin Ming and the Xihai Dragon Clan had reached an agreement.
Huang Heng was about to persuade again, but Jiuling Yuansheng said impatiently: "Yin Ming, don't refuse so quickly. What is the purpose of the four of us coming here? Since you know, you should also understand that Your Majesty has left this matter to us.
We must give His Majesty a satisfactory answer. If you cannot satisfy the four of us, you should think carefully about the consequences."
If Huang Heng is good at seduction, then Jiuling Yuan Sheng is a naked threat.
