After a dragon’s death, its inner core could gradually disappear, but a dragon’s pearl wouldn’t, and such pearls contained the purest power of the world that was useful to cultivators of all different races. If a human cultivator ingested one, they could immediately gain countless years of cultivation and receive help with a cultivation breakthrough. If a monster devoured one, they could immediately digest the power within and improve their strength by another level. However, dragon pearls were rarely formed. Not even one could form out of a hundred corpses. It was hard enough to find a dragon corpse to begin with, let alone a dragon pearl. But in the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons, such a thing became possible. There were many caves that sparkled as if with starlight, which could very well be the glimmers of light from dragon pearls. The monsters all thought that once they completed their task, they definitely had to empty out this treasury. Once they returned, they had to spend some time cultivating. For all they knew, they could even be able to reach the level of the Shadowhorror Devil, and even that of the legendary Lord of Slaughter wasn’t entirely impossible. When they thought of that, even their breathing became rushed. In contrast, Zu An was a lot more disappointed, because he didn’t see any signs of the Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine. Even though this place was large, how powerful was his divine sense now? Furthermore, the Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine would definitely be surrounded by supernatural signs, which wouldn’t escape his notice. “You didn’t find it?” Shang Liuyu asked, looking at him with worry. While being around him as of late, she had already asked Zu An why he was on the Ocean races' side. After all, there was no way he could have come so quickly even if he left as soon as he received her letter. So Zu An had told her about how he needed the Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine to save Qiu Honglei. When she'd heard about what happened to Chu Chuyan and Qiu Honglei, Shang Liuyu was incredibly shocked. Even though they weren’t that close, she had still lived in Brightmoon City for several years, and they were acquainted with each other. Upon hearing that Zu An was looking for the Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine for them, her opinion of him changed a bit too. At the very least, the anger she had felt lessened. Of course, if he hadn’t ended up hooking up with her older sister along the way, the respect she felt for him could have been much stronger. “I haven’t,” Zu An said dejectedly. He had come all the way here, and the feeling of hope going up in smoke really felt awful. When she saw how frustrated he looked, Shang Liuyu tried to comfort him. “Even though it isn’t here, the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons is so big. It might be somewhere else. For example, the place the alien monsters and Hell creatures are looking for definitely isn't here, right?” Zu An also realized that. Right! Ka Qier and the alien monsters aren’t too impressed by this place, which means this isn’t their goal. It seems the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons has many secrets. There might still be more opportunities to find the Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine. “Thank you!” he replied. With such a caring and considerate woman comforting him, he immediately felt warmer inside. Shang Liuyu smiled when she saw that he had regained his spirit. She didn’t say any more. Since there was no immortal medicine here, Zu An immediately felt disinterested in this place. He didn’t want to continue watching the burial process and returned to the main hall. The other Ocean race representatives didn’t find it too strange either. The fact that the Dragon King had even been willing to come here already gave them a lot of face. How could they have him participate in the following affairs? As such, the Ocean race elders continued to conduct the burials with the deceased dragons’ families. … When Zu An returned to the main hall, he noticed that something was off. He looked up and saw that Ao Yong was roaming all around the palace, vaguely encircling him. “What is this Ao Yong trying to do?” Shang Liuyu frowned. Unfortunately, with her disguise, she couldn't speak up and berate him. Zu An noticed that the elders who had agreed to everyone entering together also seemed to be siding with Ao Yong. He asked coldly, “What are you all doing?” “What are we doing?” Ao Yong repeated with a sneer. “I'm going to prove that you're not worthy of being the Dragon King in front of the Dragon Deity himself!” Zu An raised his brows. This guy’s decisions were always just too unexpected. Shang Liuyu was shocked and furious. She had just said to Zu An that it was a good thing that Ao Yong had entered as well, because they would at least have some Ocean race helpers inside. How could she have anticipated that he would do something like this? The Shadowhorror Devil and Ka Qier’s group had strange expressions. The feeling was quite hard to describe… It was as if a group of heavily-armed bandits were about to carry out a huge undertaking, only for some small-time bandits to emerge and try to rob them. “How impudent!” Shang Liuyu finally couldn't take it anymore. She helped Zu An berate them. “Do you know what you're doing right now?!” “Of course.” Ao Yong harrumphed. He pointed at Zu An and asked, “Do you all think that this guy is worthy of being the Dragon King? Just what has he even done over the years? He only knows how to go around womanizing day after day, flirting with women from different races. Many important ministers’ wives have even been defiled by him. So many people are furious, and yet no one dares to say anything. Almighty Dragon Deity, is this something a king should be doing?” Zu An nodded and said, “It is indeed unacceptable.” The things the Dragon King had done before really were a bit too much, especially his fetish for going after the wives of others. It had gotten to the point that he even did so inside the Dragon Palace! It really was absurd. If not for the fact that he'd only cared about playing around, with the Dragon King’s cultivation, the Ocean races' important individuals wouldn’t have been replaced silently to this extent. Ao Yong was left speechless. He had thought that the Dragon King would definitely berate him back, so he had prepared many criticisms regarding the other party’s morals, but how could he have known that the Dragon King would just straight up admit to it? Now I really don’t know what to do anymore! An Ocean race elder coughed lightly to remind him of his duty. Ao Yong finally reacted and said, “Since you already know it as well, just abdicate the position yourself in front of the Dragon Deity. Then, I’ll spare your life and promise you a life of glory and riches.” Zu An chuckled. “I might be a womanizer and might have ignored my responsibilities, but I know that I'm a good Dragon King. As for you? Just where do you get the confidence to go after my position?” “Heh, I might not be able to do much against you outside, but your mistake was agreeing to my entry into this tomb.” Ao Yong laughed, feeling quite proud of himself. His subordinates and trusted aides all began to chant and use their skills. The entire hall lit up. One after another, runes quickly appeared as the hall was filled with a mysterious formation. “The Dragon Devil Binding Formation?” Shang Liuyu’s expression changed. She immediately realized what it was. Ao Yong was quite surprised. “This maid of yours knows quite a bit. That’s right, this is the Dragon Devil Binding Formation that I obtained through great difficulty. Inside this formation, the strength of anyone from the Dragon race is reduced to just half of their usual power, while those from the other Ocean races are only able to use seventy to eighty percent of their real strength. I have an exemption talisman here, but what about you? How are you still going to face me?” As he spoke, he felt more and more proud of himself. If I kill the Dragon King, I’ll become the new Dragon King! Once we leave, I can just find some random pretext to say that the Dragon King died. There's nothing the guys outside can even do if they suspect me. Everything will already be over then, and his position as the Dragon King will be secured! Then, sister-in-law will be mine! When he thought about how Shang Hongyu seemed even more captivating than usual, his thoughts began to heat up. Hmph, it’d be best if she submits to me when the time comes. If she dares to disobey, I’ll start with threatening the child in her womb. She’ll have no choice but to follow me. Even so, in the future, that child will be a disaster. Once Shang Hongyu gives birth to my heir, I’ll secretly deal with that first child. Once we have children of our own, Shang Hongyu will most likely just accept her fate then. But… Will I seem too evil then? 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶 Ao Yong already began to imagine a lifetime of bliss with Shang Hongyu. The corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up into a grin. When he saw Ao Yong smiling like a fool, Zu An couldn't help but asked with a sigh, “This big formation is your so-called trump card?” “What, is it not enough for you?” Ao Yong suddenly felt a weight drop inside of him when he saw how calm Zu An remained the entire time. Don’t tell me he still has something to rely on that I don’t know about?
