Chapter 1882 Are you in a hurry?

When the dragon race wreaked havoc in the Three Realms, it wasn't led by Zhu Jiuyin, but by the Holy Dragon King.

Zhu Jiuyin is a cunning old fox among the dragons. In terms of bloodline, he is not as pure as the Holy Dragon King, and in terms of strength, he is not the strongest, but he is extremely good at hiding his true intentions.

It developed quietly, following behind the Holy Dragon King, appearing outwardly loyal.

The Holy Dragon King truly trusted it, not only having it follow him but also entrusting it with the safekeeping and guarding of the Dragon Clan's treasure trove.

Who knew that Zhu Jiuyin, though outwardly loyal, was secretly consuming various cultivation resources.

Most of the dragon clan's rare and precious treasures were swindled away by it with sweet words, under the pretense of being kept safe for the Dragon King, to be used again when the dragon clan was revived.

That's how it deceived the Holy Dragon King into complete trust, sucking the blood of the dragons to strengthen itself.

They unexpectedly attracted the Heavenly Tribulation of the Immortal Ascension Realm a step ahead of time.

The Holy Dragon King was blinded by greed. In order to help his "good brother" ascend to immortality, he did not hesitate to use the dragon clan's fortune as a guide and also contributed his own primordial dragon pearl, which he had cultivated for ten thousand years, to help it withstand the heavenly tribulation.

However, Zhu Jiuyin was too useless, or rather, his journey was too smooth, and he was always accompanied by great opportunities, which resulted in him not encountering any hardships during his growth and making his mentality extremely fragile.

This also meant that when he encountered the Heavenly Tribulation of the Immortal Ascension Realm, he was completely unable to withstand the earth-shattering power of the tribulation.

When the first golden bolt of lightning struck, it was terrified.

Knowing that it probably had no chance of surviving this tribulation, it disregarded the sacrifice of the Holy Dragon King and the high expectations of the entire dragon race, relying on the dragon race's luck and the life-saving magic treasure given by the Holy Dragon King to escape the tribulation.

He chose to cheat his way to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

This left behind hidden dangers, causing his internal spiritual energy to become disordered, leaving him severely injured and on the verge of death. He could only hide in the deepest part of the Netherworld Mountain Range and fall into a deep sleep.

The dragons had no idea what had happened to it. They thought it had successfully transcended its tribulation and was cultivating in seclusion in the Netherworld Mountains. They were overjoyed and eagerly awaited its return to lead the dragons to glory.

But thousands of years later, what awaited them was not the birth of Zhujiuyin, but the decline of the Dragon Clan.

Deprived of the nourishment of fortune, the spiritual roots of the dragon descendants have become increasingly weak, and countless dragon masters have perished in battles with other races. Now, only a small part of the Dragon Realm remains, barely clinging to life.

Now that so many years have passed, most cultivators have no recollection of Zhu Jiuyin.

I only knew of the existence of this ancient evil dragon who betrayed the dragon race through hearsay and by reading the ancient books left behind by my own sect.

However, through the battle between Lin Jichen and Zhu Jiuyin's clone, everyone already knows that this old dragon's strength is definitely the greatest threat to the Eight Desolations and Three Realms.

That clone was enough to make Lin Jichen fight to the death; the strength of the main body is unimaginable.

Situ Haokong snorted coldly and said impatiently, "No need for so much nonsense. Everyone knows it's a threat. The question is, how do we deal with it? Are we just going to send all of us in the Feather Transformation Realm to our deaths?"

He stood up, his imposing figure casting a huge shadow in the hall.

"Even if we are not afraid of death, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack for just the few of us to find its hiding place in the Nether Qi Mountains. It would be a waste of our energy!"

Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent, and everyone fell into deep thought.

Seeing that no one spoke, Situ Haokong sneered, "It seems no one has any ideas. I think we should all go home. Maybe Zhu Jiuyin is a benevolent dragon. After he is born, he will live peacefully with our Three Realms. Someone called us here in such a hurry because he is worried that his throne as the number one in the world will be taken away. I think we should all disperse and go home. What do you say, old bald monk?"

Xuan Kong smiled without getting angry and said, "I'm afraid only Benefactor Lin can answer this question. After all, I believe that since he has called us here, he must have a solution."

The question was then posed to Lin Jichen.

"Sect Leader Situ, are you in a hurry?"

Lin Jichen's gaze fell on Situ Haokong, a cold glint appearing in his eyes, and his tone carried a hint of chill.

Situ Haokong felt a sudden tightness in his chest, his expression stiffening slightly. He thought to himself, "Damn it, why do I feel a little scared?"

He quickly regained his composure, still arrogantly saying, "Did I say something wrong? I didn't come here to listen to you waste your breath talking about how strong Zhu Jiuyin is and how dangerous the world is. Don't you think that's unnecessary? Everyone knows Zhu Jiuyin is very strong. If you're just discussing this, I don't think it's necessary to waste everyone's time. You just want to use this opportunity to show off the status of your Sword Sect and your face, Lin Jichen. You want to command the world? You want to be the ruler of the human realm? I won't allow it!"

Situ Haokong had long disliked Lin Jichen. This kid killed his son and indirectly killed his disciple. What was most infuriating was that he also stole Yun Lanyi.

The more successful Lin Jichen became, the more unhappy he became.

If it weren't for the fact that both the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Myriad Demon Sect had expressed their intention to participate, and he was afraid that he would be targeted if he didn't go, he would never have stepped into the Sword Sect's gate!

Although he had come, seeing Lin Jichen bossing people around while these righteous people rambled on and on, he couldn't hold back any longer and flipped the table.

His final words were perfect in his opinion, tearing away the Sword Sect's pretense and leaving Lin Jichen in an even more awkward position.

He was just overthinking it.

Lin Jichen was not angry or embarrassed by this. Instead, he just chuckled and spoke in a very calm tone.

"Sect Leader Situ, you think my desire to command the world is nothing more than jealousy. You want to do it, but you can't."

"Hmph! Nonsense. You can continue to play along with his act. This sect master is not going to serve you anymore."

After saying that, Situ Haokong turned and left.

Just then, a flying sword shot towards him from the doorway.

Situ Haokong was startled and immediately dodged.

He glared at us angrily and shouted, "Is this your true way of hospitality? You invited us here only to kill us all?"

Yuan Tianjian strode in from outside the main hall and said coldly, "Situ Haokong, you are so rude that you are not worthy of being a guest of my Sword Sect!"

"Fine, fine, you want to fight? I'm ready! I've known all along that your Sword Sect is ambitious, wanting to swallow up all the demonic sects and unify the eight wastelands? The Ghost Soul Hall is the best example. I'm not that good-for-nothing Luo Canghai! If you want to kill me, you'll have to pay a heavy price!"

After Situ Haokong finished speaking, his aura exploded violently, and the power of the dragon soul within him awakened, making him like an enraged ancient dragon ready to erupt at any moment.

Situ Haokong has always had a fiery temper; he'll fight anyone who disagrees!

None of the people present expected things to turn out this way so quickly. If the Sword Sect really starts fighting, this meeting will probably end in discord.

Situ Haokong is no ordinary person, and even if the Sword Sect and other orthodox sects join forces, they may not be able to easily defeat him. Moreover, the leaders of the other two major demonic sects will not stand idly by.

The loss of the Ghost Palace has already caused the Demon Sect to decline. If the Nine Dragon Valley were to be lost as well, the Demon Sect would probably have to live in constant fear from now on.
