She had heard from people around her that Xuan Li's relationship with the Bai family was not very good during this period, and he even thought about deposing the concubine and driving the Bai family back to Baishui.
A trace of gloom flashed in Dragon Mother's eyes as she conveyed the message.
"Could it be that the Bai family conspired with outsiders to assassinate Li'er? Should we also search for his soul...?"
"You mean..."
Xuancheng's eyes were slightly gloomy.
The mother of dragons said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, do you think it's possible that the Bai family knew that Li'er wanted to depose the concubine and had murderous thoughts in her heart, so she conspired with an outsider who coveted the spot in the Sea King Festival to murder Li'er!"
Xuancheng thought for a moment after hearing the words, and recalled the memories in Huo Nuer's mind.
From Huo Nuer's memory, he learned that Xuanli and his wife were simply 'acting' and deceiving the Heavenly Fire Palace.
Xuancheng is also inclined to believe that Xuanli is planning to catch the underworld of Tianhuo Palace to please him, rather than conspiring to betray the interests of Qingping Dragon Palace.
"There are no clues of Bai's involvement with outsiders found in this demon goddess' soul!"
"Besides, it would be inappropriate to directly search for Bai's soul!"
Hearing this, the Dragon Queen looked at him with both eyes.
"Could it be that Your Majesty also has a heart of compassion and pity for women?"
There was some sarcasm in her eyes.
Xuancheng snorted coldly.
"Nonsense!"
He said patiently:
"You may not know that Bai's father, Lord Bai Shuilong, successfully transformed into a dragon some time ago, and the dragon he transformed into was the Xuanming True Dragon!"
"Xuanming True Dragon, the body of a high-level true dragon?"
Mother Dragon narrowed her eyes slightly, with a look of shock in her eyes.
"How is that idiot from Dongzhou so lucky?"
"Could it be fake news from Bai's side?"
Xuancheng narrowed his eyes slightly and hummed softly.
"If this news is false, it will be revealed at the first glance. I will find out after checking this matter. Don't touch her for the time being!"
Mother Long glanced at Xuan Li who was being carried down next to her. There was some hesitation in her eyes.
"Li'er is seriously injured now, so Li'er's place in the Sea King Festival will be given to someone else?"
Mother Long didn't look at Bai.
Xuancheng also knew what Long Mu was thinking. If it were different from usual, he would just transfer the quota of Xuanli lineage to others.
In the eyes of Qing Ping Long Palace, the Baishui lineage has always been dispensable.
But now, instead of looking at the monk’s face, we have to look at the Buddha’s face.
"Leave it to Bai. Isn't Bai's sister coming this time too?!"
Xuancheng looked at him and smiled slightly.
Dragon Mother's eyes flickered, with a bit of unwillingness in her eyes. She had already sold her place as deputy priest of Xuanli lineage to others.
But since Long Jun paid attention to this matter, she naturally couldn't disobey him.
She knew that Mr. Long was a man of many talents, and wanted to use this opportunity to give face to the Lord of Dongzhou of Tongshan Taoism.
She also knew about the Lord of Dongzhou. At a young age, he became a disciple of the Demon-Slaying True Monarch. His Taoism had reached the level of the True Monarch of Yuanshen. He was indeed expected to become a prominent figure in this world in the future.
There was some worry in Xuancheng's eyes at this time. He had just searched Huo Nuer's soul and discovered that there seemed to be an undercurrent surrounding the Sea King Festival this time, and someone seemed to be plotting something secretly.
There may be other twists and turns in the Neptune Festival this time.
The Heavenly Fire Palace is just fine, but Huo Nuer is not just the daughter of the ancestor of the Heavenly Fire Palace.
'Xuanli' can be regarded as an accident, clearing up a huge hidden danger for Qingping Dragon Palace.
…
A few days later, in the side hall, Zhang Jian and his wife received news about Bai Shuang.
"Success!"
Just as Bai Shuang expected, after Xuanli was severely injured, Qingping Longjun decided to let Bai Shuang, the concubine of Li Shui, participate in the Sea King Festival on his behalf.
Zhang Jian has also been inquiring about the secrets of the Neptune Sacrifice Ceremony these days.
On the day of the Neptune's sacrifice, one must contribute a special treasure in order to obtain the recognition of the Qingping Hailong Palace's inherited magic weapon in the Neptune's sacrifice ceremony.
However, Zhang Jian is still unclear about the core elements of this recognition.
I don’t know if it’s the grade of the sacrificial object, or some other factor.
The higher the grade, the easier it is to be recognized by Neptune's Secret Treasure?
Zhang Jian thought about it for a while and decided to go and ask two elders of the Tongshan Taoism.
In the Crystal Palace where the Infinite Lord stayed.
After Wuliang Zhenjun learned about Zhang Jian's intention, he immediately smiled.
"Senior Nephew Zhang, you asked your uncle me about this matter, but you asked the right person. I am very familiar with Qingping Hailong Palace. Your uncle, I even took that baby in my hand and played with it carefully!"
"Forehead……"
Hearing this, Zhang Jian couldn't help but look surprised.
Seeing Zhang Jian's expression, True Lord Wuliang chuckled.
"You're surprised, aren't you? Don't be surprised. One of your second-generation ancestors is from the Dragon Clan, and he even helped your ancestor control water!"
Hearing this, Zhang Jian nodded.
"Please ask Uncle Wuliang for some pointers!"
True Lord Wuliang nodded slightly.
"It's actually very simple to get the approval of the Neptune Secret Treasure. Like its owner, the first thing he values is the luck of the Dragon Clan's children, followed by the bloodline, mana, and finally the nature and grade of the magic weapon!"
"Do you know what the ancestral precepts left by the heavenly ancestor of Qingping Hailong Palace are?"
Zhang Jian looked at True Lord Wuliang, who directly told Zhang Jian his answer.
“It’s about taking a clear stand and making good friends!”
Zhang Jian's eyes moved, and there was something strange in his eyes.
The True Dragon clan was born to be the emperor of the beast clan. In fact, there was no need to leave such an ancestral instruction. It seemed that there were secrets in it that he didn't know.
But if you just want to see your luck, this matter is easy to handle.
He is the lord of Dongzhou and the emperor of Daxia.
He also has the status of a Shinto emperor like the Emperor of Sheji, and also has the fate of a human emperor. Although he is not a human emperor, this fate is also extraordinary.
Not to mention that he also has a secret treasure that suppresses luck.
Bai Liying is his queen, and when the time comes, all she needs to do is to replace her with others, and with the blessing of great luck, it will be enough to impress the Neptune Secret Treasure.
This matter has become simpler.
After thanking True Lord Wuliang, Zhang Jian returned to the palace where he stayed.
In the palace, Bai Shuang also came to visit dressed up at this time, wanting to discuss with Zhang Jian about sacrificing treasures.
Bai Shuang was dressed in a rich dress. At this time, her face was less melancholy and haggard. The cold jade face was painted with languid makeup, and she was as beautiful as jade.
Zhang Jian smiled when he saw this.
"This matter is very simple, eldest sister, as long as you have this thing!"
At this time, Zhang Jian took out something from his hand.
Those are two sticks of incense sticks!
Looking at the two sticks of incense sticks, the two sisters Bai Shuang and Bai Liying looked slightly stunned.
At the same time, there was something strange in his eyes.
There was some disbelief in their eyes.
Zhang Jian thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Two sticks of incense are a bit much. In my opinion, one stick of incense is enough!"
He casually broke one of the incense sticks.
The body of the Shinto emperor is enough to overwhelm the gods, and lending Bai Shuang a stick of incense is more than enough to impress the inherited secret treasure of Qingping Hailong Palace.
The Bai sisters were a little dubious, but Bai Shuang finally chose to believe Zhang Jian and put away the incense stick in his hand.
…
And deep in Qingping Hailong Palace
However, there were several figures still discussing Xuan Li's serious injury.
The leader is a tall, handsome young man with a cold face and a dragon's horn on his head.
Water and light surged around him, and the dragon energy was extremely pure.
He is the sixth prince Xuan Gu.
Opposite him was a rather tall god, with a strong divine light and a strong aura of incense all over his body.
This is an incense god.
And he cultivated the incense god into the body of a god.
The incense gods who have cultivated the body of the gods are at the same stage as the incense gods who have cultivated the body of the star gods. They are both third-grade gods. They have attained the soul at the same level and set foot on the body of immortality.
“I didn’t expect Fourth Brother’s ambition to be so big. Not only did he want to make free use of the treasures provided by the Heavenly Fire Palace, but he also wanted to wipe out all of the Heavenly Fire Palace. It was really unexpected!”
The sixth prince Xuan Gu's face was full of sighs at this time.
"After a hundred years, he has become so bold!"
The god's face was calm, and a strange smile flashed in his eyes.
"Is there any news from the Dragon Mother?"
"Can I put another person in?"
Xuan Gu chuckled and shook his head slightly.
"I'm afraid there is no hope. The queen mother said that my father has assigned Bai Shi, the concubine of Lishui God, to perform the sacrifice!"
Hearing this, the eyes of the third-grade god were strange.
"Bai, don't you mean that Bai has no status in Xuanli Palace? The Dragon Mother has always looked down on Bai, so how could she let the place fall into Bai's hands?"
"The queen summons me, this is my father's wish!"
There was also a solemn look in Xuan Gu's eyes.
"I heard it's because of the Lord of Dongzhou!"
"Another disciple of Kiriyama Taoism!"
The eyes of this third-grade god fluctuated.
Xuan Gu's eyes were slightly worried at this time.
"I just hope that the intervention of the Lord of Dongzhou will not affect our plan!"
This third-grade god smiled calmly.
"Don't worry, the Sixth Prince. This time we will definitely be able to help the Sixth Prince obtain the leader of the Sea King Festival!"
…
This third-grade god left Qingping Dragon Palace soon after and appeared on Wanzhou Island.
With the help of an ordinary temple on Wanzhou Island, he contacted the god behind him.
It was a divine shadow with countless divine lights flowing around his body. Countless incense lingered around him, condensing into a rich golden light of Shinto.
"Tianzun, if Huo Nuer's soul is searched, will it scare the snake away?!"
On top of the statue, the true form of a god with vast divine power emerged.
A majestic voice came down.
"Huonu'er doesn't know much, it doesn't matter!"
"We just need to be prepared. We really can't enter the Sea Eye Secret Land. I have other means to ensure that our plan will not go wrong!"
"If we can successfully enter the Sea Eye Secret Land, that would be the best situation and it would save us a lot of trouble!"
Hearing this, Li Shui Shui Bo nodded slightly.
…
More than half a month passed quickly in the lively atmosphere of Qingping Hailong Palace.
With the arrival of the auspicious occasion of the Sea King Festival Hall, the guests invited by Qingping Sea Dragon Palace arrived one after another.
All the heroes gathered together.
All kinds of ideas were circulating in the Dragon Palace. Experts from the Immortal Sect and the Taoist Order were sent from the two realms, even the wild areas, and several other surrounding divine states.
This Neptune Festival, which is held once every three hundred years, has turned into a cross-cultivation gathering that has not been seen in hundreds of years.
Although many cultivating forces are mainly based on the Immortal Sect, there are also some casual cultivating masters, or ancestors of side sects, and even demonic forces from wild areas have been invited.
For example, Green Carp Palace, Dulong Palace, etc.
They are all water tribe demon cultivators.
After Bai Liying won the 3,000-year-old purple-leaf dragon's blood grass, she did not continue to participate in the arena, but quietly retreated to refine the 3,000-year-old purple-leaf dragon's blood grass.
This purple-leaf dragon blood grass can greatly strengthen the bloodline power of monks with dragon bloodline.
When the ceremony with Neptune was approaching, Bai Liying came out of the retreat.
Her whole body was filled with a strong primitive and thick smell, and there were still remnants of abnormal fluctuations in spiritual intelligence.
Obviously, after refining this purple-leaf dragon blood grass, the mana has increased significantly.
At this time, Bai Liying also saw Zhang Jian waiting at the entrance of the hall.
"Your Majesty, let's go!"
Zhang Jian nodded lightly.
The couple walked out of the palace where they were staying.
At the door, there is a dragon girl waiting here.
"Two distinguished guests, the auspicious time of the Neptune Festival Ceremony is coming soon. My father ordered me to lead the way for these two distinguished guests!"
That's Dragon Girl Xuan He!
"Thank you, Taoist friend Xuanhe!"
Bai Liying next to her had a slight smile deep in her beautiful eyes.
Xuan He nodded, with a smile deep in her eyes, and her graceful figure took the lead. While leading the way, she introduced part of the history of the Neptune Festival to Zhang Jian and his wife.
In fact, Qingping Hailong Palace sent dragon girls like them to guide these advanced monks, not to help them find a way out.
As dragon girls, their natural resources are not as good as the many dragon princes deep in the Dragon Palace. If they want to practice, they need to find a way on their own.
Even if you just gain popularity with these high-level monks, you might be able to gain additional blessings in the future.
When Zhang Jian and Bai Liying arrived at the Ancestral Dragon Hall, the entire Sea King Sacrifice Ceremony had already begun!
Many dragon sons and grandsons who participated in the main ceremony gathered together at this time!
When Zhang Jian and Bai Liying arrived, the first thing they saw was Bai Shuang in the crowd!
Bai Shuang stood in the middle of the crowd!
In front are Qingping Hailongjun and the Dragon Mother in a royal robe!
Qingping Hailongjun is wearing a five-clawed mysterious black imperial robe, with a rich Shinto aura around him!
The divine power seems to resonate with the entire Qingpinghai!
That Shinto position is extremely powerful!
Even Zhang Jian looked at it with a sideways glance!
Qingping Hailongjun's divine status is very special. In his induction, it is not much weaker than the Shinto Emperor's status!
Zhang Jian is not surprised by this!
To be able to occupy such a vast expanse of ocean, Qingping Hailong Palace cannot do it without a little bit of knowledge!
Behind them are dragon princes wearing four-clawed royal robes. Most of these dragons in four-clawed royal robes are dragon clan elders!
There are dozens of them!
This power is eye-catching!
There are also a few who are Dragon Princes!
What’s rare is that there is a demon dragon girl!
However, most of these Dragon Clan elders did not hold tributes. Obviously, like Qingping Hailongjun and Dragon Mother, they only participated in the ceremony to show their strength and deter foreign enemies!
