Chapter 107 Suddenly, The Dragon Becomes Lame
Brother Changshou? Ao Yi immediately looked around but could not find Li Changshou.
He looked at the stone statue in front of him and felt even more shocked.
Could it be that Brother Changshou had already started to walk the path of becoming a G.o.d before he became an immortal? Could it be that the statue of him is sending voice transmissions to me?!
However, Li Changshou chuckled as he spoke, as if he had seen through Ao Yi’s thoughts…
“Brother Yi, there’s no need for you to say anything for now. The cause and effect of this matter are complicated, and it’s difficult to explain it in a short time. I’m right here, right now. The statue’s sudden manifestation is just a trick. The last time we talked, I learned that you’re very worried about the current predicament of the Dragon race. Recently, I have also thought of a few countermeasures for you, Brother Yi. If you trust me, please let these Immortal Flood Dragon troops of the South Ocean Dragon Palace retreat temporarily. Brother Yi, please wait here for a while. After I perform this ceremony, I will meet you again. Is that okay, Brother Yi?”
Ao Yi’s expression changed slightly, and he nodded calmly.
He was about to leave in the air when he heard Li Changshou’s voice. “There’s something I need your help with…”
Blah blah blah…
Li Changshou transmitted a few words and Ao Yi quickly nodded.
Ao Yi shouted softly, but a dragon’s roar sounded in the sky!
In an instant, rays of light filled the air, and clouds appeared!
Ao Yi revealed his thousand-feet long body and pointed at the Sea G.o.d statue’s dragon head. His slender body swayed gently and flew into the sky. The scene was spectacular.
The burly men from Xiong Village and the devotees below were stunned…
The azure dragon hovered in the sky before it slowly flew back to the front of the Immortal Flood Dragon troops and transformed into an elegant young man. “Second Brother!”
Ao Mou rolled up his sleeves and immediately came forward.
“Second Brother, I’ve already sent people back to dispatch the troops. Today, we will destroy the South Ocean Sea G.o.d Sect! We’ll smash all the South Ocean Sea G.o.d Temples here!”
“No.” Ao Yi frowned. “I’ll deal with this matter. Bring the troops back to the surface of the sea. Do not harm mortals and increase our negative karma.”
Ao Mou frowned. “Second Brother, we…”
He leaned closer to Ao Yi and muttered, “Isn’t it embarra.s.sing for us to be acting like this?”
“Is pride more important than our lives?”
Ao Yi said calmly, “We must try not to offend Ren[1]. I’m not referring to living beings.” “Not a living being? You mean… the Ren School!?!”
Ao Mou was enlightened. He glared at the Sea G.o.d statue. “Second Brother, this is!”
“Don’t say anything else. Let’s go first. I will handle this matter properly.”
Ao Yi raised his hand and patted Ao Mou’s arm. “If there’s a chance later, I will introduce a wonderful person to you.”
Ao Mou understood and smiled.
“I understand. Second Brother, go ahead and get busy here.
I will explain to Fairy Han Zhi that you have something important to do here.
Later, I’ll bring along a wonderful person… No, I’ll bring two!” After saying that, Ao Mou winked and laughed loudly. With a wave of his sleeve, he commanded the troops to retreat.
The Immortal Flood Dragon troops took care of the wounded. The black cloud immediately flew towards the South Sea.
Ao Yi rode a cloud and flew to a nearby mountain forest. He did not pay much attention to the mortals’ kowtows and gazes.
Although Ao Yi could sense that something had gone wrong with his conversation with Ao Mou, he could not be bothered with such trivial matters.
Ao Yi was very interested in the two sentences Li Changshou mentioned. “The current predicament of the Dragon race.”
“I did not establish the Sea G.o.d Sect.”
The first sentence made it impossible for Ao Yi to leave the place. He wanted to ask Li Changshou about the matter and see if Li Changshou could give him some inspiration.
The second sentence made Ao Yi’s thoughts run wild…
If the Sea G.o.d Sect was not established by Brother Changshou, who else could it be?
Ao Yi had long known that the Dao Sect, the Western Sect, the Great Sect, the Great Immortal Sect, and the various experts had been plotting the matter regarding incense for a long time. On the way here, Ao Yi had heard from the Immortal Turtle that the South Ocean Sea G.o.d Sect had developed to a considerable scale in just a few years. It was indeed rare…
Could it be that someone is behind this?
But why must Brother Changshou appear?
In the forest, Ao Yi fell into deep thought. He also observed the situation of the manifestation of the Sea G.o.d.
At that moment, Ao Yi did not know that he had fallen into the “trap” that Li Changshou had thrown out.
If he wanted to deceive someone…
It was not too accurate to say that he was “bluffing”. After all, Li Changshou was a proper disciple of a Daoist sect. He was upright and innocent. Besides the fact that he was hiding some trump cards, he was not a bad person.
To be precise, it should be:
“If you want to abduct someone, what are you going to do first?”
The first step was to first make that person interested in what he was going to say so that he could make the other party stay, which was the beginning of everything.
Li Changshou had already begun the second step. He was giving Ao Yi some hints and giving him enough s.p.a.ce to imagine. He wanted Ao Yi to think about it.
Later, Li Changshou would follow Ao Yi’s reaction and choose the subsequent steps… According to Li Changshou, it was on par with the “Steadiness Sutra”. It was one of the teaching books used by his junior sister Ling’e. It could be described as the content of “Volume Of Tricks” of the three cla.s.sics of “Stabilizing Little Qiong Peak”.
The third step could be to play hard to get. It could be to advance by retreating, or it could also be to gain momentum…
In short, Ao Yi chose to stay there and had already entered a quagmire.
Li Changshou calculated that his chances of surviving this tribulation had increased by another twenty-three points!
After stabilizing Ao Yi, it was time to tidy up Xiong Village.
The statue emitted an immortal glow from the sky and slowly landed on the ground. Be it the burly man from the Xiong Village or the disciples, they kept kowtowing.
A phantom image flew out of the statue. Its face was blurry, and its figure seemed to be formed from light.
It was actually Li Changshou’s little trump card, the Flying Feather Subst.i.tution Technique that he used when he was escaping. However, in an instant, he made three fake bodies that were identical to his.
The fake body was formed from immortal power, but it could be condensed within the stone statue.
However, Li Changshou did not expect to use that escape technique there…
However, it was fine. Li Changshou had a few complete escape techniques.
“The escape technique is only the basics. These ‘small tricks’ that can be changed at random are actually equally important.” The fake body spoke slowly, and its voice spread throughout the wilderness. The tens of thousands of mortals fell silent, kneeling on the ground and listening quietly.
“I have manifested my True Spirit and created a good fortune for everyone. Please be thrifty, friendly, and protective of the old and the young. Do not be afraid of hards.h.i.+p and you will gain happiness. Today, I will teach the teachings of the Sea G.o.d Sect. All of you must remember this. Be a good person and follow heaven and earth…”
Li Changshou then summarized the teachings of the Sea G.o.d Sect that he had heard over the past few days. He used three simple sentences and mixed in some of his own Steadiness Sutra…
While the paper effigy that was hiding under the statue was reciting the sutra, the other paper effigy had already returned. Li Changshou secretly observed the reaction of the people from Xiong Village. He discovered that most of the burly men were kneeling on the ground in awe.
However, the old village chief and a few Divine Envoys had complicated expressions on their faces. They knelt there, looking confused.
What? There really is a Sea G.o.d?
“Hmph!”
