Minghe was living a leisurely life on Blood Sea. He was in no hurry to participate in this Cultivation Tribulation. He knew someone would be anxious about it, and then all he had to do was to wait for his time. His goal was not to vie for the prosperity of Untainted Land; it had always been the treasures. And this time, his target was the treasure trove of the three tribes.
Minghe was not anxious but someone else was. Somewhere in the far west, Luohou saw the three tribes at their pinnacle having a little friction from time to time and having ongoing small fights. However, one thing made him feel depressed. After the leader of the three tribes broke through the realm of Sage-to-be, they actually toned down without intending to go to war at all. How can Luohou not be furious?
Luohou signaled to his henchman and asked, ”Is everything ready?” A man covered in flames and sporting crimson horns walked up and replied, ”My Lord, your orders have been carried out. As soon as you give a word, we can begin moving at any moment.” The one who spoke was Luohou's righthand general, Balrog. He was created by the Primordial Refined Fire combined with the demonic aura. His cultivation had reached the late stage of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.
Luohou was pleased with his words. ”Good, Balrog. Indeed, you haven't disappointed me. This is my order: Start the operation but don't be hasty. You have to make sure the plan is carried out flawlessly. Once we succeed, I wonder if the three tribes will be able to live as they're now in peace.” The demons answered, ”Yes! We'll follow your decree, Sire.” After receiving their orders, they left.
In the East Sea Dragon Palace, a boy of eleven or twelve human years was playing by riding on the back of a prawn soldier. This child was very noble as he was the grandson of Ancestor of Dragon, the Ancestor of Dragon Tribe, named Ao Kun. He was utterly pampered by his grandfather, which led to his wild and undisciplined nature. The boy hit and scolded the soldiers often. Even worse, he beat some of them to death.
”Boring! Don't you have any new toys to please me? Useless bunch! If you can't think of any fun stuff, I'll execute you all.” Ao Kun pointed at the soldiers in front of him and scolded them whilst riding on the back of another prawn soldier.
The group of soldiers was scared half to death and kneeled down, begging for mercy. ”Crown Prince, please have mercy!” At that time, a dragon flew in from outside and transformed into a human form. He kneeled and bowed down. ”Jiao San is here. What made Your Highness angry?”
After seeing Jiao San, Ao Kun's temper subsided. Jiao San was his confidant and was often able to think of new ideas to entertain him. ”Jiao San, it's all because of these useless bunch of idiots. The things they think of aren't fun at all. Oh right, did you see anything fun on your recent travels? Grandpa is doing meditating and father refuses to let me leave, so I'm bored to death.”
Jiao San laughed. ”So Your Highness is bored. Please allow me to accompany Your Highness to play in Untainted Land. On my travels this time, I have gain insight on many new things. Untainted Land is so vast that it's filled with unimaginable things, many of which the sea don't have. This would definitely allow Your Highness to have the utmost fun.”
Hearing him speak, a fascinated look appeared on Ao Kun's face. But thinking about his father's orders, he frowned and said, ”But Father doesn't allow me to leave the palace, especially to Untainted Land. He says that it's too dangerous. Besides, what if father finds out? I don't want to be punished.”
Jiao San smiled and said. ”It's simple. We just need a soldier to pretend to be you. Your father is currently assisting your ancestor in his meditation. He won't realize you're away. As for any potential danger, don't worry about it. You have high cultivation and powerful magic weapons protecting you. And with the Dragon Tribe's prestige across the four seas and eight lands, who will dare lay a hand on you, Your Highness?”
