Chapter 509 - 503: Assuming the Name Black Dragon Heaven and Occupying the Silent Sea
Chapter 509 - 503: Assuming the Name Black Dragon Heaven and Occupying the Silent Sea
Mysterious World.
World Honored One Sect.
Although the previous incident with the Peacock Great Ming King was turned into chaos by Lady Ming King,
after receiving a reprimand from the World Honored, she wasn’t overly punished since, after all, she was his daughter.
Of course, the main reason things escalated last time was due to the Medicine King Buddha’s instigation.
After receiving a slap from the World Honored, the Medicine King Buddha has been much more compliant lately, not daring to play any tricks.
The Medicine King Buddha isn’t foolish; he knows that things can happen once or twice, but not thrice.
If he dares to scheme again and ruin the World Honored’s plans, perhaps he really believes the World Honored would kill him.
Presently, within the sect, Lady Ming King is still in charge, while the Medicine King Buddha acts as the regent.
Today, in the sect’s grand hall, the Medicine King Buddha, Dingguang Buddha, Infinite Buddha, along with the newly allied Bai Ze, Chongming Bird, and Xiang Liu, were all present.
Everyone else present were Tier Two Peak powerhouses marked by the World Honored, determining to work for him wholeheartedly.
Seeing everyone gathered, Lady Ming King didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked, "Everyone, have you heard about the situation in the Silent Sea?"
In the Mysterious World, the geographical location of the Silent Sea is quite special.
The Silent Sea serves as a boundary, with one side belonging to the west, which is the territory of the World Honored.
While the other side of the Silent Sea doesn’t belong to the World Honored; his influence outside the west is not strong, and his control is weak.
As a demarcation line between the World Honored’s force and other forces, the Silent Sea is naturally very important.
Lady Ming King asked the Tier Two Peak powerhouses present if they had heard about the incidents concerning the Silent Sea.
So, what exactly happened in the Silent Sea?
Just after Lady Ming King spoke, Dingguang Buddha slowly opened his mouth, "Does Lady Ming King refer to the seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon that recently emerged in the Silent Sea?"
Lady Ming King nodded and said, "Yes, precisely that seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon."
"That seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon seemed to have broken out of a rock crevice, with not a whisper of prior information."
"Indeed, along with his Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings subordinates, they appeared out of nowhere without any prior sign."
"I have a strong feeling that something is not right; these are twenty-nine Tier Three Peak powerhouses; how could we have never heard any news of them?"
Lady Ming King expressed her incomprehension.
The Medicine King Buddha and others, after hearing Lady Ming King’s words, acknowledged her concerns.
This is twenty-nine Tier Three Peak experts, not one, two, or three. Reasonably, we should have heard some news of them before.
The seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon and the Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings mentioned by Lady Ming King are Lin Yuan’s avatar and the Poisonous Insect Kings corresponding to the Twenty-Eight Mansions.
Lady Ming King, the Medicine King Buddha, and others had certainly never heard about the seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon and the Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings, because they originated from the Real World.
After consuming the Plague Liquid, they went through significant changes, and if people from the Real World saw them, they might be reminded of the Twenty-Eight Mansions.
However, in the Mysterious World, no one could recognize them.
Moreover, even if Lady Ming King and others rack their brains, they would never imagine that the seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon and the Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings came from the Real World.
After all, in their eyes, the Real World is a low-level world incapable of bearing such powerhouses.
The Medicine King Buddha hesitated for a moment and turned to Bai Ze, asking, "Great Wisdom Buddha, does the seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon occupying the Silent Sea and his subordinates come from your Demon Race?"
"Are you aware of their origins?"
After the Medicine King Buddha asked his questions, all eyes were on Bai Ze.
That’s right!
Bai Ze, among the existing Demon Race, is considered from the older generation.
Moreover, the Divine Beast Bai Ze, known for knowing everything, certainly should be aware of the affairs within his own Demon Race, shouldn’t he?
Bai Ze scratched his head, appearing a bit embarrassed.
The question posed by the Medicine King Buddha indeed had Bai Ze stumped.
Bai Ze genuinely didn’t know about the seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon and the Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings.
"I do not know!"
"Our Demon Race is vast, spanning the entire world; all I know is the faction from the Ten Thousand Mountains."
"The seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon and his subordinates do not belong to the faction from the Ten Thousand Mountains, as to which faction they belong to, I do not know."
"Perhaps, they might even belong to an undisclosed hidden faction of the Demon Race!" Bai Ze slowly spoke.
What Bai Ze said was essentially useless; they still hadn’t figured out the origin of these uninvited guests.
"That seven-headed Evil Flood Dragon proclaims himself as Black Dragon Heaven, occupying the Silent Sea, recruiting a vast army of Demon Fiends and specters, training troops within the Silent Sea, and we are to ascertain whether they are foes or allies."
"I believe the immediate focus shouldn’t be on figuring out his origins, but to determine whether they are foes or allies."
"Whether he came from the west or the east is immaterial."
"What matters is whether he is our enemy or can be used by us." Infinite Buddha spoke.
After Infinite Buddha finished speaking, Lady Ming King nodded and asked, "What do you think? How should we interact with this Black Dragon Heaven?"
"Should we fight or negotiate?"
All these years, the Silent Sea hasn’t been occupied by any force.
That’s because the Silent Sea essentially serves as a strategic buffer zone; once occupied, that cushion disappears.
If the force occupying the Silent Sea is hostile towards the World Honored One Sect, they can easily strike at the World Honored’s territory.
"Reconcile with them!"
"Ever since the incident with the Peacock Great Ming King’s defection, many forces across the world view us as strong on the outside but fragile within, eyeing us covetously."
"Not knowing this force’s origin may not necessarily be a bad thing. Being unaware of their origins means at least they’re not lineage to that Old Tortoise Bai."
"If we can reconcile, it means we secure control over the Silent Sea, giving us an edge for future conflicts." the Medicine King Buddha decided.
The Medicine King Buddha, personally chosen by the World Honored to assist Lady Ming King, carried significant weight among the Tier Two Peak experts present.
Indeed, after the Medicine King Buddha finished his proposal, both Infinite Buddha and Dingguang Buddha nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, we should conserve our energy to deal with Old Tortoise Bai."
"No need to relentlessly contend with an unknown force."
With the Medicine King Buddha, Infinite Buddha, and Dingguang Buddha all suggesting reconciliation, as for Bai Ze, Xiang Liu, and Chongming Bird, having just joined, they had little say.
Furthermore, when the Medicine King Buddha recommended reconciliation, objecting would mean contradicting him, wouldn’t it?
Thus, Bai Ze, Xiang Liu, and Chongming Bird repeatedly agreed, "The Medicine King Buddha makes sense; reconciliation is the way."
"Reconciliation is a good idea."
