Chapter 1124: Chapter 717: Cloud Dragon Spirit Pearl (Part 3)

Among these children, Ao Ming can be considered the most useless and incompetent. However, because of Ao Ming’s mother, Ao Dongcheng is particularly fond of this child.

He even gave Ao Ming the Cyan Light Immortal-Slaying Sword for protection, knowing he was arrogant and would surely provoke powerful figures.

In the end, he was still killed. Even the Cyan Light Immortal-Slaying Sword and Cloud Light Treasure Armor could not save him!

Especially the Cloud Light Treasure Armor, which can resist myriad magics. When unable to fend off attacks, it would transform into Spiritual Light and escape swiftly.

However, the Cloud Light Treasure Armor couldn’t exert any effect, and Ao Ming was slain by a single sword.

To achieve this, Gao Xuan’s sword was so powerful that it suppressed all the divine artifacts and magic changes, directly cutting through Ao Ming and Ao Shibidi’s Divine Souls.

Therefore, no matter what protective Divine Techniques Ao Ming and the others had, they ultimately couldn’t withstand this sword.

Ao Dongcheng checked Ao Ming’s Divine Soul and confirmed that his son’s Divine Soul had completely disintegrated; even with extraordinary Divine Techniques, he couldn’t resurrect his son.

He picked up the Cyan Light Immortal-Slaying Sword, gently stroking the blade.

The Cyan Light Immortal-Slaying Sword is a very special Sword Artifact; through Secret Techniques, sacrificing one’s Divine Soul would greatly enhance its power.

The last strike of the Cyan Light Immortal-Slaying Sword was incredibly powerful, so strong that it posed a great threat even to himself. This sword couldn’t kill Gao Xuan and instead provoked Gao Xuan.

Ao Dongcheng, contemplating while holding the sword, had a clearer understanding of Gao Xuan’s power.

From Gao Xuan’s past actions, it seems this person acts with restraint and doesn’t act aggressively.

If it were only the death of Ao Shibidi, he could set aside past grievances and have a good conversation with this Celestial Master Gao.

Ao Ming’s death, however, couldn’t be settled peacefully.

Yet, how to avenge him requires careful planning. Gathering all forces to retaliate is actually quite simple.

The problem is not knowing how much it would cost to eliminate Gao Xuan. The most dreadful thing is using all forces and failing to eliminate Gao Xuan, possibly ending up being annihilated by Gao Xuan!

This kind of situation is not impossible.

Ao Dongcheng, having lived for a hundred thousand years and being knowledgeable, understands the Immortal Realm is vast with countless Divine Techniques and treasures.

Even if the Cyan Celestial Realm has a power limit, he couldn’t be sure Gao Xuan didn’t have some unique Divine Techniques.

He’s not afraid of taking risks but is unwilling to recklessly stake everything over this small matter.

Even if he wins, he’d only kill Gao Xuan. There wouldn’t be any substantive benefit to the East Sea Dragon Race. If he loses, the entire family could die.

The risks and benefits are completely disproportionate.

Ao Dongcheng invited Gao Xuan to the Celestial Dragon Dharma Assembly, intending to evaluate this person’s true capabilities.

Then he would decide how to deal with him.

However, the fool Ao Ming caused his own death and offered himself as a sacrifice.

Ao Dongcheng pondered for a moment and said, "Go and apologize to Gao Xuan, and say it was all Ao Ming’s fault. Present a valuable gift."

Ao Jiuni hesitated and asked, "And then?"

"Then wait for the Celestial Dragon Dharma Assembly and use your strategy to incite conflict among Human Race masters with him."

Ao Dongcheng thought for a moment and added, "I remember there is a Seventh Grade Celestial Master Lin Jianghong in the Eastern Province, who is seemingly the highest-ranked Celestial Master in the Cyan Celestial Realm from the Celestial Court. This person is said to have a proud nature; invite him to handle Gao Xuan..."

Although the Celestial Court isn’t much in the Cyan Celestial Realm, it has a vast power in the Upper Realm.

Back then, the Divine Beings were driven to tears by the Celestial Court, and most of the Dragon Race had to seek livelihood in the Lower Three Realms.

Ao Dongcheng doesn’t know Gao Xuan’s background in the Celestial Court, but given Gao Xuan’s prowess, he doesn’t believe he has no roots.

Using Lin Jianghong as a pawn, regardless of success or failure, it will at least probe a thing or two.

Ao Jiuni, following the Dragon King’s orders, went to the Treasure Vault to retrieve a Cloud Dragon Spirit Pearl and returned to Celestial Dragon Island.

After a while, when Ao Jiuni returned to Celestial Dragon Island, daylight had already broken.

Ao Jiuni waited until near noon, then got up and went to Cyan Cloud Residence.

Ao Jiuni descended in front of Cyan Cloud Residence’s main gate, gently tapped the door knocker, and quietly waited outside.

After a short while, the main gate opened, and Ripples emerged.

Ripples glanced up and down at Ao Jiuni, seeing him dressed neatly and his expression respectful, but couldn’t quite grasp his intentions.

"Do you have a matter?"

"I’ve come to pay respects to the Celestial Master, please inform Fellow Daoist."

Ao Jiuni was very courteous to Ripples, formally bowing.

Ripples was somewhat perplexed, but returned the courtesy with a bow: "Please wait a moment."

Soon, Ripples returned: "Please follow me."

Ao Jiuni followed Ripples to the main room of Cyan Cloud Residence and saw Gao Xuan seated on the main seat.

Gao Xuan said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Ao, what brings you here?"

"Not at all, not at all."

Ao Jiuni bowed deeply, "Celestial Master, I’ve already reported last night’s events to the Father King. Only then did the Father King realize Ao Ming and Ao Shibidi were arrogant and insolent, intending harm against the Celestial Master. Their deaths were their own doing."

Ao Jiuni paused before continuing, "The Father King feels deeply ashamed about this, and he entrusted me to apologize to you, presenting a Cloud Dragon Spirit Pearl as a token of reparation..."
