Chapter 188: 102: Support from River Ji Dragon Palace _1
“Is that Sunn Lanyu, the notorious madman?”
“I’d only heard he was a madman, but now I see he’s a cripple as well.”
“Ha-ha! You didn’t know this, did you?”
Sunn Lanyu took advantage of being the representative of the River Ji Dragon Palace, thinking he didn’t have to respect anyone. As a result, he offended a bigwig in the Incense Offering Divinity Path.
The golden eagle from Yunfu Mountains took action against him. Sunn Lanyu barely survived. If not for the escape method granted by the Dragon Palace Edict, he might have died on the spot in the Yunfu Mountains.”
“That golden eagle, known as the number one Mountain God of Yunfu Mountains? That’s a great demon in the Later Stage of Qi Cultivation. The golden eagle, with blood of the Golden Wing Roc, shouldn’t be trifled with.
I heard the golden eagle has been living on Yunfu Mountain since it was young and was treated like a family by Yunfu Mountain Lord. Unless River Ji Dragon Palace is willing to vindicate Sunn Lanyu, his broken legs may go in vain.”
“You’re overestimating him. He’s just a mad dog of the River Ji Dragon Palace. If he dies, it might save River Ji Dragon Palace’s face, and they might come to demand an explanation.
But if he only breaks his legs, would River Ji Dragon Palace go against Yunfu Demon Territory and one of the Heavenly Court Canonical Gods for his sake?”
The representatives of all major sects, having access to informed sources, immediately began to mock Sunn Lanyu without reservation when they saw him on the back of the flood dragon.
Their arrogant laughter, devoid of inhibition, echoed over the river.
Sunn Lanyu indeed rules the roost in Cang Province. However, all the major sects here have their own backstage forces. Plus, the Primal Chaos Tower was established by Great Xia’s Imperial Court, so there was no need to fear Sunn Lanyu.
The numerous members of the Aquatic Tribe kept making waves trying to shake the Primal Chaos Tower, but it quickly stabilized after the initial shaking.
As a medium grade spirit treasure, if it was easily shaken, the Primal Chaos Tower wouldn’t deserve the name of a medium grade spirit treasure.
Surrounded by countless members of the Aquatic Tribe, Sunn Lanyu, sitting on the back of the flood dragon, arrived in front of the Primal Chaos Tower, looking at the whole building with contempt.
At the top of the Primal Chaos Tower, a youth dressed in a black robe, embroidered with the Xuanwu Star Chart on the chest, walked out slowly.
“This is Pingyang County of Great Xia, the territory of Great Xia’s Imperial Court. What is your intention bringing these members of the Aquatic Tribe here, Sunn Lanyu?”
This youth was none other than the Black Tortoise Esteemed Emissary, one of the Four Great Esteemed Emissaries of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau and the controller of the Primal Chaos Tower.
As the Xuanwu Esteemed Emissary started to speak, the light refracting from a brilliant purple gem at the top of the Primal Chaos Tower began to change, as if an immense pressure was falling from the void.
Within several miles of the Primal Chaos Tower, all the raindrops were held down by a big hand. No matter how turbulent the external river was, it couldn’t affect the water surface in front of it at all.
Sunn Lanyu atop the flood dragon felt a sudden heaviness. The flood dragon beneath him, being at the Early Stage of Qi cultivation, was uncontrollably suppressed onto the water surface.
He tried to mobilise his Mana, but the more he struggled, the heavier the endless pressure. Even with the power of the river, it was hard to resist the power of this spirit treasure.
After striving for a moment, the flood dragon seemingly surrendered, dropping its head onto the water surface. Meanwhile, the thousands of members of the Aquatic Tribe behind Sunn Lanyu, like a tide, had already been isolated to the river bank.
That’s because in the river, huge ships sailed out of the harbor one after another. Massive cannons had already aimed at the positions of the numerous members of the Aquatic Tribe.
On the ships, large numbers of Imperial Astronomical Bureau members in uniforms were guarding the steel battleships all the time, preventing the Aquatic Tribe from directly sabotaging the ships.
Underneath the warship, a complex formation covered the lower part of the ships. Ordinary means could hardly break through the defence of the ships.
On seeing this, everyone immediately reacted. The Imperial Astronomical Bureau could hold the grand colloquium here precisely because they were well-prepared.
Even letting the Primal Chaos Tower fall into the river was intentional. They were trying to lure the Aquatic Tribe led by Sunn Lanyu.
It was evident that the Imperial Astronomical Bureau had long been prepared to deter the Aquatic Tribe.
The representatives of various sects, looking at the scene before them, didn’t think that Sunn Lanyu could defy the will of the Great Xia Imperial Court. After all, the Great Xia was still ruled by the Human Emperor Dynasty.
Sunn Lanyu, riding on the back of the flood dragon, looked up at the Black Tortoise Esteemed Emissary standing in the void above the Primal Chaos Tower, with a hint of mockery in his expression.
“I’m just here to attend the grand colloquium. Why do you, Xuanwu Esteemed Emissary, need to make things difficult for me?”
Sunn Lanyu’s voice was soft, but it harboured a violent intention that made people fearful.
The expression of the Xuanwu Esteemed Emissary didn’t change at all as he solemnly questioned:
“The grand colloquium is a grand occasion for sects. Your Sunn family is just an ordinary noble family, what does it have to do with you?”
“Unfortunately for me, I just established a sect days ago.”
As he spoke, Sunn Lanyu took out a large plaque from his Storage Ring. The three big characters “River Ji Sect” were clearly engraved on it.
“I almost forgot to tell Xuanwu Esteemed Emissary. My River Ji Sect took over the heritage of the Imperial Water Sect. The only heir of the Imperial Water Sect is now a guest at my place.
Although the sect doesn’t have grotto heavens as a support, it can be regarded as a legitimate lineage of the mysterious Dao.”
The Imperial Water Sect was also a sect whose sacred land collapsed in the last Spirit Energy Tidal Surge. Sunn Lanyu’s attitude was completely like a cuckoo occupying another bird’s nest. He had already thought of a strategy to deal with the Imperial Astronomical Bureau.
“Then why did you drive these members of the Aquatic Tribe to attack my Primal Chaos Tower?”
“Drive the Aquatic Tribe?” Sunn Lanyu blinked, spread his hands with an innocent expression, and said:
“I’m a good citizen of Great Xia, how could I drive the Aquatic Tribe to attack the Imperial Astronomical Bureau? Those members of the Aquatic Tribe clearly gathered voluntarily, it has nothing to do with me.”
