Qi Chen and the others looked over at the sound, and saw an old man with white eyebrows, carrying a turtle shell on his back, walking towards them!
Qi Chen narrowed his eyes. He recognized the person approaching. It was the old general under the Dragon Ancestor of the Dragon Clan back then – the Turtle Prime Minister!
Although Qi Chen knew the Turtle Prime Minister, he did not show him any pleasantries. This old turtle was a master of the older generation, but with the formation flags in his hand, Qi Chen did not fear him at all!
"These four old mud loaches are already our captives. You should go back!"
The Turtle Prime Minister glanced at Qi Chen indifferently and said, not salty, not bland:
"Junior of the Qilin Clan, has your Qilin Clan lost even this bit of etiquette after Qi Yi's generation?"
Qi Chen chuckled and looked at the Turtle Prime Minister!
"Oh! By your words, have I been disrespectful?"
The Turtle Prime Minister glanced at Qi Chen!
"Did Qi Yi teach you this way? I am here to handle matters between the Dragon Clan and the Human Clan. You don't seem to be able to represent the Human Clan, do you?"
Upon hearing this, the Qilin was speechless. He indeed could not represent the Human Clan!
Fu Xi stepped forward and cupped his hands slightly.
"Fu Xi, the Human Emperor, greets Fellow Daoist Turtle! I wonder if I, the Human Emperor, can represent the Human Clan now?"
The Turtle Prime Minister quickly returned Fu Xi's salute. He knew who Fu Xi was and dared not be presumptuous before him!
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Fu Xi. Since you are the Human Emperor, you can naturally be the master of the Human Clan!"
Fu Xi nodded and looked at the Turtle Prime Minister:
"Since you are here on the orders of the Dragon Ancestor to handle matters between the Human Clan and the Dragon Clan, how do you wish to proceed?"
The Turtle Prime Minister originally intended to save the Four Sea Dragon Kings, but seeing their pale faces and lack of color, he knew their dragon pearls were destroyed. With a flash, he appeared beside the Four Sea Dragon Kings and struck them four times, killing all of them!
Fu Xi and the others' faces changed drastically, and they looked at the Turtle Prime Minister in disbelief!
The dignified Four Sea Dragon Kings died by their own people like this?
The Turtle Prime Minister acted as if he had done something trivial, then turned and smiled slightly at Fu Xi and the others.
"Fellow Daoist Fu Xi, are you satisfied with this outcome?"
Fu Xi snorted coldly, not expecting the Turtle Prime Minister to be so ruthless, killing the Four Sea Dragon Kings so casually! What could he do? The Four Sea Dragon Kings were already dead!
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the East Sea also looked at the Turtle Prime Minister in disbelief. Their king was killed like this? Not by outsiders, but by their own people?
Among them, a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals had flickering eyes, thinking about something. They silently returned to the East Sea.
Seeing Fu Xi's silence, the Turtle Prime Minister looked at the sea creatures of the East Sea behind him and said softly:
"Collect the bodies of the Four Dragon Kings."
Upon hearing this, everyone dared not disobey the Turtle Prime Minister's orders. The dignified Four Sea Dragon Kings were not even taken seriously by him, let alone themselves, who were like insignificant minnows!
Just as the sea creatures of the East Sea stepped forward to collect the bodies of the Four Dragon Kings, a water column suddenly surged from the East Sea, accompanied by a sorrowful voice!
"Father King!"
As the water column dispersed, the Crown Prince of the East Sea appeared in everyone's sight, followed by several sea creatures from the East Sea, who were the ones who had left earlier!
The Crown Prince of the East Sea had already learned from the sea creatures behind him that the King of the East Sea had been killed by the Turtle Prime Minister. As soon as he appeared, he glared at the Turtle Prime Minister!
Although the Crown Prince of the East Sea knew that the Turtle Prime Minister was a trusted minister of the Dragon Ancestor, it did not diminish his hatred for the Turtle Prime Minister!
Fu Xi and the others, who were about to leave, decided to stay and watch the show!
The Turtle Prime Minister looked indifferently at the Crown Prince of the East Sea and suddenly said:
"By the order of the Dragon Ancestor, I appoint you as the King of the East Sea!"
The Crown Prince of the East Sea, who had been hating the Turtle Prime Minister, showed a hint of a smile on his face, but he quickly hid it. He immediately ran to the body of the King of the East Sea and wailed!
The Turtle Prime Minister glanced dismissively at the Crown Prince of the East Sea. As an old man by the Dragon Ancestor's side, he knew that dragons were inherently lustful and promiscuous, with many affairs. There was no true familial affection; it was all an act.
After wiping away his tears, the Crown Prince of the East Sea suddenly attacked and killed all the sea creatures behind him!
"Our Dragon Clan fought a war with the Human Clan, and you dared to desert. You deserve to die!"
When the Turtle Prime Minister appointed him as the King of the East Sea, the Crown Prince of the East Sea noticed the Turtle Prime Minister glance at the few people behind him.
Since he became the King of the East Sea because of the Turtle Prime Minister, he naturally had to show his appreciation!
The few sea creatures behind the Crown Prince of the East Sea did not expect to lose their lives just for kindly notifying the Crown Prince to collect the body. They looked at the Crown Prince of the East Sea in disbelief!
The Turtle Prime Minister saw that the Crown Prince of the East Sea had actually killed the few sea creatures behind him. Although his expression remained unchanged, he had to admire the Crown Prince of the East Sea's observation skills in his heart!
He had merely glanced at the few sea creatures behind him, and this young man had already discovered his displeasure! He felt that this Dragon Crown Prince was worth nurturing!
Fu Xi and the others also did not expect such a turn of events and felt that this Crown Prince of the East Sea was not a simple person either!
After dealing with the few sea creatures, the Crown Prince of the East Sea immediately commanded the many sea creatures:
"Quickly take the body of my father back and issue my royal decree: the Dragon Palace will hold a mourning period for the old Dragon King for seven days!"
Seeing that the sea creatures of the East Sea were about to leave, Qi Chen was about to step forward but was stopped by Fu Xi. Fu Xi shook his head slightly at Qi Chen!
Fu Xi, Qi Chen, You Chao Shi, Sui Ren Shi, and Yan Zi Shi came to Shen Nong and the others, bowed in the four directions to thank the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise clans for saving their lives, and then looked at Shen Nong!
Just as the people of the East Sea were about to return to the East Sea!
The Four Symbols of Heaven and Earth reappeared, and they became visibly more solidified!
At the same time, four majestic voices echoed between heaven and earth.
"Is the death of a person from my Azure Dragon (White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise) clan in the East Sea to be ignored like this!"
The Turtle Prime Minister's expression changed. Looking at the suddenly appearing illusory forms of the Four Symbols divine beasts, he felt a sense of foreboding!
The Turtle Prime Minister could not only sense who had arrived, but he also knew that these were old acquaintances!
A woman and three men suddenly stepped out from within the divine beast's illusory forms!
Bai Jin of the White Tiger clan was the one with the worst temper among them. Upon seeing the Turtle Prime Minister, she immediately said:
"Old Turtle, you're not dead yet?"
The Turtle Prime Minister's face darkened. This big white cat's temper was still so foul!
The Patriarch of the Vermillion Bird clan also added:
"What? Is the East Sea out of people, or have they all died?"
The Turtle Prime Minister remained silent. They had lived together for so long; their temperaments were already crystal clear to each other!
