Chapter 879: Chapter 601: The Frustrated Yushan Dragon Consort

Western Hong, Dragon Palace Great Hall.

Many Dragon Sons stood within the hall, whispering amongst themselves, yet their expressions grew increasingly ugly.

Only Qi Shengtao sat aloft, eyes closed in meditation, his lean body enveloped in a splendid robe. The terrifying aura faintly emanating from him made it impossible for anyone to look directly at him.

"So, you mean to say, despite all the Aquatic Race keeping watch day and night, there’s still no trace of Ten Thousand Demon Hall?"

After a long time, the West Dragon King gently exhaled, interrupting the conversations in the hall.

The tallest and most majestic of the four Dragon Sons, bearing a heroic demeanor and clad in the silver armor of the Dragon Palace, slowly stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "Reporting to Father, your son has dispatched troops to guard at all key passes. The moment there is any news, the Dragon Palace will be immediately alerted, and we will not face a repeat of last time."

This son, named Qi Zhaowen and ranking second among the Dragon Sons, would have been the Crown Prince of the Western Dragon Palace if not for the sudden arrival of Zi Xian Fairy from the east.

After all, in both strength and temperament, he far surpassed his elder brother Zhaoyi.

Now that Father had awakened, Zi Xian, this outsider, had become much more restrained, significantly easing Zhaowen’s mind.

This was an opportunity.

Taking advantage of Father overseeing Western Hong, he could secure the position of Crown Prince in one fell swoop.

Although Zhaoyi was lucky, having taken the initiative and gotten involved with Zi Xian only to go hide from trouble in Southern Hong, he ended up stumbling upon such a fortuitous event.

But with the opponent’s capabilities, Zhaowen truly did not believe that this man could subdue the West Hong Demons; more likely, he would make a mess of things.

For this reason, he had truly put his full effort into searching for any trace of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, attempting to capture a great achievement and solidify his own standing in the Dragon Palace!

Yet, this power had vanished as if it had evaporated from the world.

Even with the might of the West Hong Water Clan, they still had not unearthed any news.

Suddenly arriving, bizarrely vanishing.

If the West Dragon Palace hadn’t truly lost two Dragon Sons, Zhaowen might even think it was all just a ruse created by others to deceive.

But he immediately dismissed this thought from his mind.

If it were just a fabricated entity meant to deceive, then their killings of the fourth and seventh, one a follower of Zhaoyi and one neutral, showed clearly who benefited.

So I am the Hall Master of Ten Thousand Demon Hall?

Zhaowen clenched his fists, stealing a quiet glance at his father above, who clearly had special reservations about the East Dragon Palace yet still hadn’t given up on Zhaoyi, even proactively creating a grand opportunity for him.

He guessed it was also because of still suspecting himself of committing fratricide...

"Father, rest assured! They are but a bunch of deceptive demons, I will surely bring their heads and avenge my two brothers!"

Thinking thus, Zhaowen raised his head, his proclamation resonant.

Faced with such words, the West Dragon King’s face betrayed no emotion; he merely slightly lifted his eyelids, and after a moment, waved his fingers, "Go then, do what you must. If your elder brother sends a message back, remember to report it immediately."

How could his father not see through his son’s intentions?

Of all Zhaowen’s earlier words, only one sentence was sincere.

Indeed, they were just a bunch of deceptive demons.

Don’t mention anything comparable to the Northern Dragon Palace and Infinite Dao Emperor Sect, if the Ten Thousand Demon Hall had a size similar to that of the West Dragon Palace, they would not have been so frightened after barely stepping into Heaven Realm and killing the weak Fourth to completely vanish in a panicky flee.

Don’t say it was because they were busy with other matters.

Given their previous aggressive subjugation of various major demons, and their specific effort to drive major demons from various tribes for the Ten Thousand Demon Hall in Southern Hong, why wouldn’t this supposed Hall Master dare to partake?

It was clearly out of fear of the West Dragon Palace.

This also explained why they only targeted solitary demons, possessing some strength, but far from the extent others boasted.

A cold smile curled the corners of the West Dragon King’s lips.

He would definitely flush out these timid rats and let them know who truly ruled Western Hong.

Thus thinking, Qi Shengtao let his eyelids droop again.

"Your son takes his leave."

Zhaowen carefully observed his father’s changing expressions, aware of the murderous intent in his heart, and dared not speak more; he turned around with his three brothers and exited the great hall.

He had not gone far when his steps faltered slightly, and he furrowed his brow looking toward the dignified and sumptuous figure ahead.

It had to be said, the Purple-Bearded White Dragon clan truly enjoyed Heaven’s favor, each one stunningly beautiful and each with unique charms.

If not for the East Dragon King deciding to marry Zi Xian to the useless Zhaoyi, Zhaowen had actually been quite moved initially.

But now, she had become the biggest stepping stone on his path to securing the position of Crown Prince.

Zhaowen’s heart harbored only a cold sneer, and maintaining face, he blandly clasped his hands, "Sister-in-law, not resting in Mount Yu, what matter brings you to the Dragon Palace?"

"Nothing much."

Zi Xian smiled faintly, "I too am part of the West Dragon Palace. Recently, with such chaos in these waters and land, even disturbing Father, naturally, I am a bit anxious, but for some reason, when you all discuss these matters, no one calls for me, it seems I am treated as an outsider."

"Sister-in-law jests."

Zhaowen slightly curled his lips, lowering his hands, "With elder brother handling affairs in Southern Hong, already a tremendous task, our West Dragon Palace naturally has to take good care of sister-in-law and not let him worry from afar."

Both exchanged pleasantries while clearly understanding each other’s intentions, their gazes similarly scanning the three figures behind.

Of those three Dragon Sons, the third and the sixth had received quite a lot of benefits from Zi Xian and, although not fully committing to her side, were somewhat inclined towards her; conversely, only the fifth firmly stood with Qi Zhaowen.
