Chapter 141 Virtuous Neighbors Sever Their Ties, Heavenly Beasts Become Slaves
Yunyangling
Chen Chunan watched as the group of Heavenly Hou landed on the banks of the Pingjiang River, below which was the water palace of Chimianxi.
He couldn't sit still any longer. Ignoring the elders' attempts to stop him, he transformed into a rainbow and flew towards the riverbank.
...
At this time, less than thirty members of the Tianhou clan had arrived at the riverbank, and more than ten Tianhou were willing to die rather than be humiliated and become slaves.
Having arrived at this place, Tianhou naturally knew that this time they were seeking protection and becoming slaves to others, but the riverside setting made them feel somewhat apprehensive.
"Chieftain, is our survival in the water? Could it be a powerful dragon?"
"No, that can't be! The dragon will definitely kill us!"
"Don't speak, listen to the clan leader's instructions!"
Hearing the chaotic chatter of his clansmen, Kong Delin's face darkened: "Silence!"
After the clan leader displayed his authority, all the Heavenly Hou fell silent in fear.
Kong Delin looked at the clansmen, who now numbered less than thirty, and slowly said, "The path to survival is not with the Dragon Clan, but it is related to the Dragon Clan."
Before Kong Delin could finish speaking, Kong Lin coldly questioned, "Aren't you going to use my daughter as a gift to curry favor with some important person again? Do you want me to be included as a sacrificial lamb?"
Upon hearing this, Kong Delin began to doubt himself again and spoke recklessly.
Anger suddenly rose in my heart.
But thinking of what he was about to face, he could only manage a bitter smile: "Third sister, is this all that's left of your eldest brother in your heart?"
Kong Lin's face was full of sneers. Before she could speak, Kong Delin looked at the group of clansmen again.
"Yesterday I went to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion for help, and Elder Hua Yin advised me: 'The one who tied the knot must untie it.' This matter started because of my niece, Chi Mianxi, and naturally it must end because of her. This is not to harm her, but to ask her and the people behind her to give us a way out, even if it means becoming slaves."
As soon as Kong Delin finished speaking, the clansmen suddenly remembered that Chi Mian was Chi Jinxian's daughter, and Chi Jinxian's master was none other than Yu Jiaolong, who had previously killed her clansmen in the East Sea.
Could it be that the clan leader is seeking help from Yu Jiaolong?
The group of Heavenly Hou felt their scalps tingle instantly; the dragon they feared most was the Jade Dragon.
We are practically throwing ourselves into the lion's den!
Has the clan chief become confused? Or is he actually a dragon spy using magic to impersonate someone?
The scene instantly erupted in chaos.
Kong Lin and Kong Deming were previously imprisoned in the Dragon Subduing Cave and in seclusion, respectively, and neither of them knew about the changes in the Dragon Clan.
Kong Lin felt awkward, but Kong Delin was too preoccupied with his own impending death to care about her.
Only then did she and her second brother realize that Yu Jiaolong had actually returned from the North Sea!
Kong Deming immediately became anxious: "Brother, how could you be so foolish? Yu Jiaolong isn't someone you can easily talk to!"
Kong Lin, no longer caring about her sarcastic remarks, looked tense and ready to run away at any moment.
Kong Delin, feeling utterly exhausted, said, "Shut up! This has nothing to do with Yu Jiaolong!"
Just then, Chen Chunan arrived with the treasure, ready to rescue Chi Mianxi.
When Kong Delin saw Chen Chunan, who had arrived with a treasure and whose eyes were filled with hostility, his eyes immediately lit up with surprise.
This is the person Elder Hua Yin mentioned yesterday who can save the Tianhou clan.
He immediately continued, "The person I'm talking about is this one~"
Before Chen Chunan even landed, he heard Kong Delin gesture with his hand.
He was immediately stunned. Me? Coming for me?
At this moment, Chi Mianxi, who was lurking at the bottom of the river, couldn't help but speak up when she saw Kong Delin pointing at Chen Chunan.
Immediately, carrying the half-refined Zhenhai Bottle, he burst out of the water, revealing his enormous dragon form, and let out a loud dragon roar towards the group of Tianhou.
The ear-piercing sound waves caused all the Heavenly Hou to raise their hands in resistance.
Seeing his niece's aggressive and desperate stance, Kong Delin, who had come seeking a way out, immediately shouted, "Wait! I'm not here to cause trouble!"
Kong Delin's unguarded demeanor made Chi Mianxi hesitate for a moment: "You've come to Jiangzhou in such large numbers, do you have some good intentions?"
"Mianxi, this whole affair started because of me, and I intend to end it because of me. Can we sit down and have a proper talk?"
Chi Mianxi snorted: "Talk? You, a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator, I dare not talk to you!"
Kong Delin slapped his forehead, and a streak of red blood slowly emerged from his pained expression.
Kong Deming was taken aback: "Big brother! You?"
Kong Delin smiled wryly: "If I don't do this, how can my niece trust me?"
Kong Delin then threw the wisp of blood toward Chi Mianxi.
Chi Mianxi instinctively took it and probed it with her divine sense, only to find that it was a wisp of Kong Delin's true spirit.
"You? You don't actually think I'll fall into your trap like this, do you? Believe me, I'll annihilate this last vestige of your true spirit right now!"
Looking at Kong Delin's spirit, Chi Mianxi felt an urge to crush it immediately.
Kong Delin looked at her calmly: "I said I want to have a serious talk with you. If you can agree to my conditions, what's wrong with giving you my life?"
Chi Mianxi looked at Chen Chunan hesitantly.
Chen Chunan felt that Kong Delin was acting strangely today, but since he was willing to hand over a trace of his true spirit, he might genuinely want to talk.
He immediately said, "We can talk! Come inside my Ten-Sun Burning Heaven Diagram to discuss this, and only you can come in!"
Kong Delin immediately agreed: "Okay!"
Seeing that he agreed, Chen Chunan unfurled his fiery red Taoist robe, which immediately transformed into a small world.
Kong Deming couldn't help but step forward: "Big brother! Let me go!"
Kong Delin raised his hand to stop him: "I'm still alive, it's not your place to make decisions about the Tianhou clan!"
After saying this, he immediately stepped out and entered the small world of the Ten Suns Burning Heaven Diagram.
Once you enter the Ten Suns Burning Heaven Diagram, even Huang Qiu would be hung up and beaten, let alone Kong Delin.
Chen Chunan and Chi Mianxi exchanged a glance, both feeling relieved, and then stepped inside.
The moment the two stepped inside, Kong Delin immediately knelt before Chen Chunan, pleading, "Fellow Daoist, please save my Tianhou clan!"
Chen Chunan was suddenly taken aback: "Huh? What do you mean by that?"
Kong Delin kowtowed to the ground: "My esteemed Elder Hua Yin of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion guided me and found a way for my clan to survive. This Lu Zheng is indeed a fellow Daoist!"
"Me? Heh, but why should I help you? You even attacked Chi Mianxi before, we should be enemies, right?"
Kong Delin didn't care about Chen Chunan's somewhat sarcastic words.
They only revealed their conditions step by step.
"What if the Heavenly Hou clan takes you as their leader in the future?"
Kong Delin stared intently at Chen Chunan.
Chen Chunan was taken aback: "With me in charge?"
Kong Delin ignored Chen Chunan's question and began to introduce his clansmen.
"There are currently twenty-seven members of my Heavenly Hou clan who are willing to seek this path of survival: three at the Nascent Soul stage, fourteen at the Spiritual Core stage, and ten at the Golden Core stage. We are all willing to submit to you, fellow Daoist, and serve you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Chunan shook his head and said, "Do you even believe what you're saying? If the ruler is weak and the ministers are strong, things are bound to change. I dare not accept you."
Kong Delin pressed on, "I can have my clansmen sign a soul curse with you; their lives will be in your hands!"
Chen Chunan gave him a strange look. He really didn't know what was wrong with this Heavenly Hou, that it could say such outrageous things.
He exchanged a subtle glance with Chi Mianxi, as if to say, "Is this guy a little bit crazy?"
Chi Mianxi secretly realized that she didn't understand either.
Kong Delin suddenly realized that he might not have made the stakes clear, so he immediately changed the subject.
[I overestimated my abilities. There will be one more chapter later, or two if I can manage. If I can't finish, I'll continue writing tomorrow.]
