Listening to the words of the children around him, Ao Guang felt very uncomfortable.
But he has no regrets, no matter how many times he does it again, he will never regret it.
Because this is their responsibility as dragons!
Although the price paid to protect this responsibility is high, it is all worth it!
Because they did not let the evil spirits pollute this sea area, nor did they let the creatures of China suffer disaster as a result.
that's enough!
"What are you talking about? Are you so happy?"
Jiang Wenming walked over from a distance and couldn't help but become curious when he saw everyone's faces looking happy.
"Sir Demon Emperor, you are so powerful, even more powerful than my father."
When the Ninth Princess Ao Xue saw Jiang Wenming approaching, she began to praise him with admiration, not caring at all about Ao Guang's resentful eyes.
"Ninth Princess is joking. His Majesty the Dragon King is in charge of the East China Sea. Without him guarding this place, what would China be like? How can I be compared with him?"
Jiang Wenming smiled and shook his head, not taking the credit.
"Your Majesty the Demon King is too humble. If it weren't for you, I don't know when the source of these evil fires would be eradicated. Thanks to you, we can finally go home."
The fourth princess Ao Shuang smiled.
have to! Another leaky little cotton-padded jacket!
Ao Guang saw his two precious daughters surrounding Jiang Wenming, and he felt as if his home-grown cabbage was about to be eaten by pigs.
I have worked hard to get rid of the source of evil fire for so many years, but I have never seen the two of them being so enthusiastic towards me.
"Father, I'm going to tell my mother the good news."
The eighth prince Ao Chun saw a group of people surrounding Jiang Wenming, so he found a reason to leave.
"Okay, inform your mother and we will meet at Zhenlongzhu."
Ao Guang nodded.
"yes!"
Ao Chun responded, then turned into a red dragon and swam towards the distance.
"Let's go too."
Ao Guang greeted everyone and swam towards the Zhenlong Pillar.
Zhenlongzhu area.
Ao Guang, Mrs. Yinlong, and all the dragon sons and dragon ladies stood here quietly.
Looking at the lifeless corpses of the giant dragons and the countless corpses of the Sea Clan's personal guards, Ao Guang bowed to them.
"Brothers and sisters, the source of the evil fire has been eliminated, and this place will be permanently sealed. I am here to send you on your last journey."
"Old Turtle, you have been by my side the longest. I have always regarded you as my family. I remember you once said that you would always be by my side. You... broke your promise."
"General Jiao, you are the bravest warrior in my East China Sea Dragon Palace. Whenever there is danger, you will protect me immediately. I see this in my eyes."
"General Yaksha..."
"..."
Ao Guang seemed to be saying goodbye to an old friend. Every time he passed a corpse, he would accurately call out the other person's name and what they had experienced.
Mrs. Silver Dragon and her children behind her all had red eyes and sobbed softly.
Who among these children did not grow up under the care of these people?
Although both parties are called master and servant, in fact they are like elders, watching them break out of their shells and watching them grow up little by little.
But now, these former elders remain in this dark place forever.
"The dead have passed away, and the living should live with their share of hope so that they can rest in peace."
Jiang Wenming had been following them, listening to Ao Guang's memory, and it was only now that he stepped forward to comfort him.
"Alas~"
Ao Guang sighed and said nothing.
It was different from when I came. When I went back, I felt extremely relaxed and it seemed that everything around me was much brighter.
Outside the deep sea purgatory.
Ao Fan was sitting cross-legged and meditating when he suddenly felt a strange fluctuation coming from the front and quickly opened his eyes.
"Father, King and Queen, you are coming out!"
The moment Ao Fan opened his eyes, his whole body trembled and he shouted.
"Fan'er! We are back!"
Ao Guang looked at the haggard-looking eldest son in front of him with mixed feelings in his heart.
"Fan'er, you've lost weight."
After seeing her eldest son, Mrs. Yinlong felt her eyes sore and almost shed tears.
"Mother, it's great that you are all right."
Ao Fan fell to his knees with a plop, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.
Over the years, he has been thinking about the undersea purgatory all the time, for fear that he would never see them again.
Now the stone hanging in my heart can finally fall.
"Thank you, Lord Demon Emperor, for your rescue. I, Ao Fan, am willing to keep my promise and follow you, and I will never betray you for the rest of my life."
Ao Fan bowed respectfully to Jiang Wenming.
"The eldest prince can't do it, he can't do it."
Seeing this, Jiang Wenming quickly reached out to help him.
He really wanted to attract the Dragon Clan to join the Demon Court before, but since he learned that the Dragon Clan was trying its best to guard the East China Sea, he gave up this idea completely.
This is a respectable race and they have their own responsibilities.
If I use this matter to ask Ao Fan to follow me, who will I become?
Ao Guang on the side changed his expression obviously after hearing Ao Fan's words.
Ao Fan is the eldest prince of his East China Sea Dragon Palace and the heir he has high hopes for. If he really agrees to become his follower, wouldn't it mean that the entire East China Sea Dragon Clan will be bound to the Demon Court?
Although he has a good impression of Jiang Wenming, he will never let this happen.
The best result at that time is to expel Ao Fan from the East China Sea Dragon Clan and deprive him of his position as heir.
But this kind of thing is definitely not what he wants to see.
After Ao Fan was helped up by Jiang Wenming again, he turned to look at Ao Guang and his wife, and said with a hint of guilt: "Father and Queen, you don't know something. That day, I..."
Ao Fan told all about how he met Jiang Wenming, how he asked him for help, and how the other party almost gave up because of it.
Especially when everyone heard that in order to adapt to the undersea purgatory, he did not hesitate to enter the alchemy furnace to forcibly increase his strength.
Everyone looked at Jiang Wenming in shock.
Even Ao Guang, who had always kept a straight face, softened his expression.
They didn't expect that the other party had paid so much behind the scenes, especially the alchemy furnace, which lasted for seventy-seventy-four-nine days. Thinking about the pain made them shudder.
But Jiang Wenming never mentioned this matter from beginning to end. What a benevolent and righteous character this is!
"No wonder Fan'er respects the other party so much. It seems that I have indeed misunderstood him."
Ao Guang felt ashamed for what he had just thought.
Jiang Wenming on the side was a little confused. Was Ao Fan talking about himself just now?
When did he become so great?
How come I don’t know?
It's impossible for Ao Fan not to know the cause and effect of the matter, so he said that on purpose?
Just as he was thinking about these questions, he suddenly saw Ao Fan blinking at him.
"really……"
If he was suspicious just now, now he was sure that Ao Fan was deliberately putting on a show for Ao Guang, although he didn't know why he did it.
"Father, I have already sworn an oath before. If I don't keep my promise, in the future..."
"Do you know the consequences of doing this? If you really do this, you will not only lose your position as heir, but you will also be expelled from the East China Sea Dragon Clan and become a wild dragon from now on."
"My son has made up his mind!"
Ao Fan bowed to Ao Guang again.
