Chapter 626: Chapter 510: Rest When You’re Tired

Within the Southern Dragon Palace, the relationship between the Dragon King and the Crown Prince is actually quite delicate.

First of all, this Crown Prince is definitely the most beloved son of the Nangong Dragon King.

Whether it be his innate bloodline, disposition, or even appearance, he is surely the one that satisfies the Dragon King the most.

But there is actually an issue between them that cannot be ignored.

That is, due to the Demon Race, especially the noble-blooded Great Demons like the Yellow Poison Dragon, they possess lifespans so lengthy that they are somewhat terrifying.

The Crown Prince of the Southern Dragon Palace might still have to serve for many years.

As the saying goes, ’A mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.’

It is best for kings not to see each other.

The Crown Prince of the Southern Dragon Palace rarely comes to seek an audience with the Dragon King, but whenever he does, it is inevitably to ask the Dragon King to "cede power".

Only after obtaining the other’s consent can he act freely without worrying about any resentment arising in his father’s heart.

Therefore, when that word "Granted" echoed out from the Abyssal Cavern.

The Crown Prince of the Southern Dragon Palace slowly stood upright, glanced at Elder Ke Si kneeling beside him, and the restless Ke Shiliang, and said indifferently, "Get out, wait for my Imperial Edict."

"..."

Elder Ke Si raised his head, squeezing out a look of tearful gratitude.

As long as the Southern Dragon Palace still wished to use him, he still had a chance to turn the tables.

Ke Shiliang, being a peer and brother of the Crown Prince, faced such almost servant-scolding remarks without showing the slightest displeasure.

The Demon Race doesn’t follow any hierarchy of age or seniority.

The other is the Crown Prince, while he is just a leisurely Prince, not because the other is older, but because they had settled their rivalry when they were still Dragon Descendants.

In the vast Southern Dragon Palace, there are now only six Dragon Sons, which speaks volumes about how fierce this elder brother is.

"Elder Five obeys the decree."

Ke Shiliang bowed respectfully.

He slowly exhaled a sigh of relief in his heart.

The eldest brother’s temper was fierce, but he truly possessed strength. The fact that he was willing to represent the Dragon King in overseeing the big picture was perhaps not good news for those three brothers who were comparable to the Unity Realm Stage, but for him and Elder Four, who were "criminals", it was an incredibly solid backing.

With the eldest brother’s support, the face he had lost with the South Hong Seven Sons could also be seen as an opportunity to regain it.

If he did a good job, the Crown Prince might even grant him a few more Great Demon Generals of the White Jade Capital.

Thinking of the Great Demon Generals of the White Jade Capital, a trace of resentment inevitably surfaced on Ke Shiliang’s face.

Those were the old generals who had managed his territory for him... raising and winning over them had taken an immense amount of effort, and now, inexplicably, only one was left, which was hard to accept!

If he did not avenge this, he would never be able to lift his head again in Southern Hong.

With this thought in mind, Ke Shiliang walked out of the hall with a sinister look, stepping into the palace corridors. In front of his peers, he might not stand out much, but with juniors, like Hong Xiu and Wei Yuanzhou from the other day, he would show them what the authority of a Southern Dragon Palace Prince meant.

...

Mists enshrouded, the mountain ridges like lines.

Seven rainbows suddenly retreated in the direction they came from, re-entering into the reliefs of the Seven Sects, signifying the end of the grand assembly.

In the sky, six shadowy figures rippled like water before disappearing on the spot.

The long stairs gradually went out of sight.

The young man in the Nanyang white robe stood with his hands down amidst the clouds; even without the grand spectacle, he still drew everyone’s gaze.

The act of him dispatching Liu Xingshan with a wave of his hand earlier might linger in the memories of many cultivators present for the rest of their lives.

This was a position forged through strength, far more stable than if others forcibly hailed him.

Even if the Seven Sons of Hong are not counted.

Shen Yi alone was enough to claim a place for himself in Southern Hong, possessing great renown.

A few Daozi stepped forward at the same time, bowing to that figure: "We pay respects to Sect Master Shen."

As geniuses, being able to relinquish and assume control is the most basic requirement.

But the reason they came forward was not to fawn over the new Sect Master. Amidst the curious looks of the guests, not a single disciple from the Seven Sects left the scene, all waiting quietly in their places.

Because there was still one matter that had not been dealt with.

And the silent departure of the other six Sect Masters was an agreement to leave this matter to Sect Master Shen.

It was their response to Shen Yi’s deliberate showing of the Blood Charm earlier.

Since they recognized the identity of the Sect Master of Nanyang.

Then the ’life-and-death together’... had begun to take effect.

"The envoy from the Southern Dragon Palace is still waiting outside, how should we respond? Please, Sect Master of Nanyang, give your instructions," said the Daozi of the Unparalleled Sect, stepping forward with a complicated gaze towards the Sect Master who was much younger than himself.

He wasn’t sure about the others, but his own Sect Master definitely intended to test Sect Master Shen.

A qualified heir to the treasure land must be both competent in battle and intelligent.

The Seven Sons of Hong might not be able to confront the Southern Dragon Palace head-on, but how to fight, why to fight, and what could be gained after fighting, all require considerable delicacy.

This incident, neither too big nor too small for a Sect Master, was sufficient to ascertain his methods of dealing with issues.

Simply put.

If handled well, Sect Master Shen could fully participate in the major affairs of the Seven Sects. If handled unsatisfactorily, then he might as well continue to guard the Nanyang Treasure Land and cultivate peacefully.

The rest of the Daozi, including Hong Xiu, remained silent, with no one speaking out to disturb Shen Yi’s thoughts.

Even when he issued his Imperial Edict, whether foolish or not, they had to take great risks to carry it out.

This was the rightful status a true Sect Master should have within the Seven Sons of Hong.
