Chapter 242: A Newborn Calf
The conversation can be divided into two parts. While Huo Yun was wielding the Dragon Slaying Sword and killing in all directions, Ao Long, who brushed past him, was also moving against the current, traversing the water as if it merged with the river. None of the human race's formations were able to sense her presence.
She effortlessly passed through the Celestial Melody Pavilion, then landed in Dragon City. Without hesitation, she released the unique aura of a Monster Sovereign.
This aura didn't target anyone, so those whose cultivation level was insufficient couldn't perceive it.
The beasts being sold in the market quieted down at this moment, but other than that, there was no abnormality.
When Ao Long released her aura, Long Yi immediately sensed it.
"Another one?" Long Yi's expression turned ugly.
Opponents of the same level weren't easy to kill, and Ao Long clearly didn't come with good intentions. As soon as she arrived in Dragon City, she began releasing the aura of a Monster Sovereign, clearly causing trouble.
However, before she could cause any trouble, as the host, Long Yi had to show the appropriate courtesy.
"As a distinguished guest, why not have a meeting on the mountain?" He accurately located Ao Long on the Dragon Head Peak and transmitted his voice to her. This was also a manifestation of his profound cultivation.
Transmitting voice secretly was a basic spell, but it also required a strong Divine Soul and True Qi intensity.
Its essence was to envelop the sound with True Qi or Divine Soul and deliver it to the other person's ears.
True Qi would naturally dissipate when separated from the body, so in order to transmit it over a long distance, more True Qi was needed to envelop the sound. Moreover, it wasn't just about increasing the quantity blindly; it also required the continuous maintenance of stability through the power of the Divine Soul.
At the same time, the correct recipient had to be locked onto using the Divine Soul.
The basic principles of spells in the Immortal Cultivation World were simple, and the simpler something was, the more it reflected the disparity in cultivation.
The Dragon Head Peak was about two hundred miles away from Dragon City, and its altitude exceeded ten thousand meters. The closest distance between the two was also over two hundred miles.
To accurately transmit voice over such a long distance was also a display of Long Yi's dominance.
Because while transmitting his voice, Long Yi also released his own aura, allowing him to lock onto Ao Long based on her aura and transmit his voice.
However, Ao Long, who was within Long Yi's range for transmitting voice, couldn't transmit her voice to Long Yi.
Ao Long came over with great momentum, originally looking for trouble. Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, she encountered a tough opponent.
However, she wasn't discouraged. Long Yi was an old powerhouse, while she had just become a Monster Sovereign. It was normal for her cultivation level to be inferior.
Give her another hundred years, and she was confident she could surpass Long Yi!
But Ao Long didn't want to lose face. Although she couldn't transmit her voice secretly, she could make her voice resound throughout the heavens and earth.
"Sea Sovereign Palace's Ao Long has come to pay a visit to the mountain," she said.
Without the might of thunder, she still had the momentum of thunder. Everyone heard Ao Long's voice at the same time, causing a moment of shock.
The Dragon Transformation Palace had stood in the Western State for thousands of years and was undoubtedly the unrivaled giant of the Southern Border.
The Sea Sovereign Palace also had a significant background. Although it was unclear which Sea Sovereign Palace it was, the fact that it could be named after the Sea Sovereign Palace indicated that there was at least one Monster Sovereign.
The sea race and the human race had equal status, and they could be considered friendly nations. However, their lifestyles were different, and they couldn't really play together.
So both sides kept to themselves, maintaining a balance for many years.
Since the expulsion of the Devil and Demon races, the human race and the Sea Monsters had only fought once, and it wasn't too disastrous. They fought just to test each other out, and when they found it was a fifty-fifty situation, they didn't continue. That's how the current situation came to be.
Now that the Sea Sovereign Palace's Sea Monsters suddenly visited the Dragon Transformation Palace, would it mean that the situation would undergo some new changes?
The Immortal Cultivation World had plenty of onlookers, and there was no shortage of those who liked to speculate.
Soon, the news spread like wildfire.
At this moment, Ao Long didn't realize that she had caused a big commotion. After displaying her strength, she swiftly arrived at the mountaintop of the Dragon Head Peak.
This was also a display of her cultivation.
In an instant, she traveled two hundred miles, which was quite extraordinary.
When she reached the mountaintop of the Dragon Head Peak, Long Yi didn't mind the impact she had on the outside world and simply said, "Please come in."
Ao Long fearlessly walked towards the main hall. She had come to cause trouble, but she also had the confidence to leave unscathed.
Moreover, she openly announced her identity, which could be considered a formal visit. Regardless of the outcome, Long Yi didn't dare to keep her here.
Ao Long walked arrogantly in front of Long Yi, and the two powerhouses met like this. Ao Long didn't conceal her scrutiny of Long Yi.
After a long time, she finally spoke, "So, it turns out you're injured."
Long Yi smiled faintly and said, "Please sit down. Fellow Daoist, what can I do for you?"
A cushion quickly moved behind Ao Long. She wasn't accustomed to the human way of sitting, so she directly waved her hand, and a water column appeared out of thin air. She casually sat on it.
The water washed over her black dress, but it didn't stain it at all.
Ao Long wasn't someone who wasted time, and she didn't pay much attention to formalities when coming here. Long Yi didn't mention his injury, and Ao Long didn't inquire about it either.
She directly stated her purpose.
"My younger brother, the Third Prince of the Sea Sovereign Palace, was killed while playing in the Dragon River area. At that time, the only ones with the strength to do this near the Profound Heart Sect were the Dragon Transformation Palace. Can you give me an explanation?"
Long Yi did not fear her because she came from the Sea Sovereign Palace. He asked in return, "Why should we explain? Your brother appeared near the battlefield, shouldn't your Sea Clan be the ones to explain?"
"Are you planning to openly interfere in the war?"
Ao Long had always been smooth sailing in the Sea Monster Race. Although she wasn't stupid and could think, she lacked experience and was no match for a cunning old fox in a debate.
With just one sentence, Long Yi weakened her imposing manner of questioning him. She could only explain, "My brother did not intervene in your war. He only had some feelings for a Water Monster, so he went to accompany her."
"Whether he accompanied her or took action, who can say for sure? If he didn't take action, why would someone want to kill him? You arrived just in time. Yesterday, two leaders of my Dragon Transformation Palace died in battle, and they died by self-destruction. They were both at the peak of the Divine Ability Realm. It seems that besides your brother, no one else could have pushed them to this point."
Ao Long: "..."
She had come looking for trouble, but she didn't expect to be the one being troubled.
She had briefly learned about the situation from Hong Li before, but Hong Li didn't specifically mention killing a peak expert from the Dragon Transformation Palace. Ao Long didn't pay much attention to anything unrelated to Ao Yue.
Now that Long Yi asked, Ao Long could only retort, "My brother has always been sensible and wouldn't randomly attack people, let alone interfere in land matters."
"This is interesting. Those two leaders of mine are only responsible for protecting my daughter. Even if a Water Monster came attacking, as long as it didn't threaten the safety of my daughter, they wouldn't take action. So, is your brother's target actually my daughter?"
This...
Ao Long was a bit at a loss.
When she came here looking for trouble, she was too focused on being angry. Of course, she would be angry when her own brother was killed.
But now, after hearing Long Yi's questioning, she realized, what if her own brother had provoked someone first?
Of course, she wouldn't admit to this and asked in return, "What if it was your daughter who made the first move?"
"My daughter is only at the Divine Soul Realm. How could she actively provoke your brother?"
"My brother has always been sensible and wouldn't attack your daughter for no reason."
"That's not certain. As a Sea Monster, coming to the battlefield of the two races, how can that be considered sensible?"
Although both of them were powerful, when they argued, they were no different from ordinary people.
It was like two children fighting, arguing about who was responsible. In a situation where both sides were arguing their own reasons, their tempers naturally flared up.
"It seems that you are unwilling to take responsibility for my brother's death!"
"Your brother died on the battlefield of the two races, which can be considered a deserved death. But your Sea Monster Race interfering in the war, are you trying to start a major war between the two races?"
Ao Long had suffered from her lack of experience. At this moment, her imposing manner had weakened by half.
She came here not to start a war, but to resolve the situation.
Since that's the case...
"Talking won't help. Let's settle it with our hands!"
Ao Long wasn't good at arguing, so she planned to simply take action.
Although she had witnessed Long Yi's strength at the foot of the mountain, she was still fearless as a young and inexperienced person. Even though she had become a Monster Sovereign, it was mainly because her innate constitution was too strong, naturally making her destined to be a Monster Sovereign.
Without experiencing the beatings of the Immortal Cultivation World, she wouldn't dare to attack someone who was obviously stronger than her in front of Long Yi.
Those who had traveled normally all the way here wouldn't dare to provoke Long Yi so blatantly in front of him, as their lives were at stake.
Long Yi didn't want to take action, which was why he used his power to intimidate at the beginning. He didn't expect to encounter a stubborn person who didn't understand the significance of his telepathy over a distance of two hundred miles.
But now that the other party requested a fight, he certainly couldn't show weakness.
As an elder, could I let a young person beat me?
"If you want to fight, then come!"
Long Yi didn't look well, but when he said "come," the pressure of a top Dao Integration expert was released, instantly making Ao Long feel the pressure.
This person is so strong, not inferior to her father!
Ao Long had also come without fully investigating the situation beforehand. Long Yi was about to be chosen as one of the four executives of the Western State Alliance. The Western State had eight major forces, and to become an executive, one had to rely on strength to speak.
If one's strength was not enough to convince others, being an executive would be useless.
At the Dao Integration level, the gap between the Human Race and the Monster Race was not significant, and the Human Race might even be stronger.
This was the unique advantage of the Human Race. Humans were often more likely to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, naturally having a deeper understanding of it.
When a member of the Monster Race cultivated to a certain level, they would transform into a human, and this was the reason.
When Long Yi released his aura, Ao Long felt the pressure, but since she was the one who wanted to fight, she couldn't retreat at this moment.
So, after Long Yi ascended to the sky, she followed closely and arrived in the clouds.
Below was the Dragon Transformation Palace. Long Yi certainly wouldn't fight there. First, he didn't want to be surrounded by people, and second, if the aftermath of the battle continued, it would only harm his own assets.
True experts fought in the high sky, thousands of meters above.
One person and one monster, a hundred zhang apart, took their positions.
It was also at this moment that the Western Emperor's incarnation discovered this duel...
