When Shen Luo wanted to ask something more, the door of Shuixiu Palace was suddenly opened, and Ao Zhong stood at the door and said to everyone: "You guys also come in."

Qing Chi and Ao Xin responded at the same time, and walked into the hall first.

Shen Luo also came in, his eyes swept inward, and he saw a white jade dragon chariot in the depths of the hall, leaning on it was a tall man in a golden robe, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a straight nose bridge , with thorny golden horns growing on his forehead, and a short beard under his jaw. Although his complexion is pale and sick, he still can't hide his noble aura. Naturally, he is the Dragon King of the East Sea, Ao Guang.

Beside her, there is also a beautiful woman in silver armor with dragon scales and short horns on her head. Looking at his back, he would definitely be mistaken for a Yingwei man.

The woman's appearance is extremely beautiful, but it is also different from the soft brows and eyes of ordinary women. She has sharp edges and corners on her white cheeks, her eyebrows are like a distant mountain with daisy, her eyes are like a sea of ​​stars, her nose is as tall and straight as a mountain, and her lips are as thin as a knife's edge. , the whole person looks heroic and imposing.

With a thought in Shen Luo's mind, he guessed that this person was probably the Eldest Princess Ao Yue that Qing Chi was talking about.

On the other side of the dragon chariot, there were still a few women dressed in various fairy gauze dresses, all of them were either panicked or about to cry, their faces were full of gloom, and they seemed to be other dragon girls.

"See the Dragon King." The three of them stepped forward to salute and clasped their fists together.

"Little friend Shen, I heard from Ao Hong that he was attacked by a demon in the East Bay, and you saved him?" Dragon King Ao Guang slowly glanced at several people, adjusted his figure slightly, and said to Shen Luo first.

Shen Luo heard the words and was about to speak when Ao Hong's voice sounded in the sea of ​​consciousness:

"Brother Shen, what we have experienced before, including your killing of the three demon dragons, can you keep it a secret for me, and don't tell everyone?"

Shen Luo heard the words, although she didn't know why, she still agreed.

"Ao Hong and I are old acquaintances, but we met by chance, so we helped out." Shen Luo said.

"It's the Kunpeng monster who fought against you?" Ao Guang continued to ask.

Chapter 0573 Battle for the Throne

"That's right. That fellow has great powers, we... are invincible." Shen Luo bit the bullet and said according to Ao Hong's instructions.

"It's not easy to survive against this peerless monster. Thank you for saving my son's life. Although the Dragon Palace has encountered a change now, the etiquette must not be less. Later, I will let Hong'er take you to the treasure house and choose A treasure as a thank you." After hearing this, Ao Guang thought for a moment and said.

When Shen Luo heard this, he couldn't help being a little excited. After all, the treasure house of the Dragon Palace is not an ordinary place, and the things it hides are absolutely extraordinary. Back then, Monkey King, the great sage of Qitian, had also visited the Dragon Palace when he first appeared. Borrow treasure.

"Dragon King's kindness, if the younger generation dare not brush it off, it will be disrespectful." Shen Luo cupped his fists and said.

"Ao Xin helped Zhong'er repel the demons and recapture the Dragon Palace this time. It's a great achievement. It will be the same later. Let Zhong'er take you to the treasure house to choose a treasure as a reward." Ao Guang nodded and looked again. Sao Aoxin said.

"Thank you Dragon King." Ao Xin clasped his fists and said with joy when he heard the words.

"In today's world, there is chaos, the heavens have fallen, and our Four Seas Dragon Palace is also doomed. It is really lucky to be able to successfully repel the monster attack this time. I believe that it will not be long before these monsters will make a comeback." Ao Guang's eyes Wei Shen, said slowly.

"They dare to attack again, my boy will let them come and go." Hearing this, Ao Zhong shouted immediately.

Ao Guang stopped talking, glanced at him, did not express his opinion, and continued:

"This time I fought against Kunpeng, I was seriously injured, and it was hard to get back. It is only a matter of time before the oil runs out. But the country cannot be without a king, and the family cannot be without a owner. After me, Dragon Palace still needs someone to be in charge. call the shots."

As soon as this remark came out, not to mention the people present at the Dragon Palace, even Shen Luo's expression changed.

Although he could see that the Dragon King's injury was not serious, he never thought that it would be so serious, let alone that Ao Guang would say such a thing in front of an outsider like him.

"Lord Dragon, our Dragon Palace has a lot of elixir and elixir, you will be fine." The old prime minister Yuan Kai said first.

"Father..." Ao Zhong called out in a low voice.

Ao Hong showed a sad expression, opened his mouth, but did not speak.

Ao Yue, who was standing behind the dragon chariot, just frowned slightly, as if she already knew about it.

"I know my injury best. You don't need to say anything about this. What do you think about who can enter the Dragon Palace and command the descendants of the East China Sea?" Ao Guang waved his hand and said.

Inside the hall, there was silence, and no one spoke.

After waiting for a long time, a voice came from behind the dragon carriage:

"Father, to inherit the position of Dragon King to rule the East China Sea is not only to inherit a position of power, but also to inherit the inheritance of the ancestor dragon's soul. It must be someone with excellent talents. This position... should be taken by the ninth brother."

When everyone heard the words, their eyes fell on Ao Yue one after another, and they seemed a little surprised.

Even Ao Hong himself didn't seem to have thought that why this eldest sister, who is usually unsmiling and hardly close to him, would take the initiative to support him to become the new Dragon King?

"The eldest princess's words are wrong. The command of the East China Sea requires more than talent. Appointment of talents and ability to lead the army are also indispensable. The ninth prince has always been idle and wild. I am afraid that he is not a suitable candidate." A middle-aged military general in bright red plate armor with wide eyebrows said.

"General Xie may have forgotten that it was only 300 years ago that the Ninth Crown Prince started stationing in the Luhua Palace. Before that, he handled many affairs of the Dragon Palace. Didn't everyone praise and admire him at that time?" ?” A thin old man in Confucian robes said.

"Old Bang, it is precisely because of the incident 300 years ago that I think that the Ninth Prince is not suitable to lead the Dragon Palace." General Xie didn't back down at all when he heard this.

Shen Luo frowned when he heard that, but noticed Ao Hong in front of him, his eyes flickered slightly.

"Father, what General Xie said is correct, the child is indeed not as safe as the second brother in commanding the Dragon Palace." Ao Hong was silent for a while, and then said.

"Old man, you have assisted the king for many years, what do you think about this matter?" Ao Guang didn't make a conclusion on the spot when he heard the words, but turned his eyes to Yuan Tuo and asked.

"It's about the Dragon Palace's unification. It should be decided by the Dragon King himself. I don't want to say too much. But in the end of the world, the Dragon Palace is already in turmoil, and I'm just looking for safety... I'm afraid it won't be safe in the end." Yuan Kai's words were very subtle. , but what he meant was already obvious.

In ordinary times, if you want to be on the safe side, the second prince may be more suitable to inherit the great line, but in this last world, whoever has the ability to inherit the true soul of Zulong to the maximum extent and has the ability to protect the East China Sea is the right candidate.

"Father, it's not that the boy is dedicated to pursuing this position, but the ninth brother has been trapped in the early stage of the real fairyland for many years, and the boy has already caught up head-on. As long as the cultivation level is concerned, the boy is no worse than him." Ao Zhong's eyes flashed. With a stubborn look, he finally spoke.

"Your efforts, this king has always seen in the eyes. We, the dragon clan, are in charge of the water and clouds in the world, command the vast water clan, and do the things that make the clouds and rain, and protect the common people. responsibility and mission." Ao Guang said slowly with calm eyes.

"Mission? Responsibility?" Everyone was puzzled.

"You all know the existence of Longyuan, right? Even the underwater prison under Longyuan, many of you should know it too. You may think that it is the place where the dragon clan of the East China Sea will be held, but in fact it was originally established. Not for this." Ao Guang continued.

"My child knows that the prisoner at the bottom of the sea was originally held by the demon prisoners who fought with Chi You and the Yellow Emperor. One of the missions of our Dragon Clan in the East China Sea is to guard this prison and prevent them from escaping." At this time, Ao Zhong Open your mouth and say.

"You're right. In fact, not only the East China Sea, but the other three seas also have such prisons. The West Sea is the Great Valley, the South Sea is the Guixu, and the North Sea is the Flame Cave. All of them imprisoned the demon war criminals of the past. We, the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas My mission is to guard these four prisons, and not let them escape even if they die." Ao Guang nodded and said.

When everyone heard the last sentence, their expressions were a little moved.

"In the last days, the demons will come again sooner or later. The Dragon King after me is very likely to be the last king in the history of our East China Sea Dragon Palace. Others may have room to retreat, but the Dragon King does not. Knowing this, are you still willing to take over as the king of the Dragon Palace?" Ao Guang said earnestly.

Ao Hong and Ao Zhong looked at each other, but this time they said in unison: "My child is willing."

Seeing this, Ao Guang's eyes softened a little, and there was a smile in his eyes.

"Father, there is something I want to report." Ao Hong suddenly remembered something and said immediately.

"What's the matter?" Ao Guang asked.

"Abyss giant monster, is it still imprisoned in Longyuan?" Ao Hong asked.

Chapter 0574

"It was imprisoned on the second floor at the bottom of Longyuan, why do you have this question?" Ao Guang asked doubtfully.

"Before, Hai'er and Shen Luo were attacked by a monster from the abyss on their way back to Dragon Palace. At that time, they thought that Longyuan had fallen and let the monster escape." Ao Hong said immediately.

"What did you say?" Ao Guang's expression suddenly became serious.

The expressions of Yuan Yu and other civil servants and military generals also changed one after another. There were still memories in their minds of when the giant monster from the abyss wreaked havoc on the East China Sea, and a little panic showed in their eyes.

"Are you sure it's the monster from the abyss?" Ao Guang asked with a frown as he leaned forward slightly.

"My child can't be mistaken. Fellow Daoist Shen also fought against him and smashed one of his heads." Ao Hong said.

When everyone heard this, their eyes all fell on Shen Luo.

"That fellow has a human face and a snake body, a head as large as a hundred feet, and is very powerful. After I smashed a head, he quickly retreated." Shen Luo had no choice but to take a step forward and said.

"Joke, if it's really that giant monster of the abyss, you can beat it back with your own strength?" Ao Zhong sneered after hearing this.

The rest of the people also talked one after another, obviously not believing their words.

Yuan Tuo kept his hands behind his back all the time, his head was sullen and he didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something.

"There is a strong restriction in Longyuan, and it has been closed for many years. I have never heard of any monsters fleeing. This time, the Ninth Prince must have encountered some other monsters and misunderstood it." The clam spirit said.

"Everyone, there is absolutely nothing wrong with what the two of us said. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to the depths of Longyuan to check. If the giant monster of the abyss is gone, it will be enough to prove that what we said is true." Ao Hong said.

"The matter of Longyuan is no small matter. Since Hong'er said that he was attacked by a monster from the abyss, he should personally go to the depths of Longyuan to investigate to find out the truth. The question of the succession of the Dragon King will be discussed after the investigation of Longyuan is completed." Ao Guang After a long silence, he opened his mouth and said.

"Father, my son wants to go to investigate together." Ao Zhong stepped forward and said with fists clasped.

Hearing this, Ao Guang showed hesitation.

"Father, if there is a change in Longyuan, it is not a small risk for the ninth younger brother to go alone, and there will be a care for the child when he goes with him." Ao Zhong said again.

"The minister is also willing to go." Qing Chi and Ao Xin said in unison.

"Okay, since that's the case, you all go together." Seeing this, Ao Guang nodded.

"Father, my child asks Shen Luo to go with me." Ao Hong said.

"How can the human race set foot on the land of Longyuan?" Ao Zhong immediately reprimanded upon hearing this.

"Now that the demons are fighting, why should we divide into the human race and the dragon race? Since Xiaoyou Shen has repelled the abyss giant monster, let him go together. Remember, after entering the abyss, no matter what happens, we must work together." Ao Guang exhorted.

"My child obeys." Ao Hong and Ao Zhong looked at each other and clasped their fists at the same time.

"Okay, let's go." Ao Guang waved his hand, looking a little tired.

Everyone took the order to leave, except for the eldest princess Ao Yue, everyone slowly exited the hall.

"You two princes, let's take Shen Daoyou and Ao Xin to the treasury to pick out treasures?" Yuan Tuo raised his long eyebrows slightly and asked Ao Hong for instructions.

Ao Zhong nodded silently.

"Lao Yuanbo is leading the way." Ao Hong said.

With a smile on his face, the old prime minister turned around and walked in front, leading a few people all the way to the back of Xiushui Palace.

Shen Luo was a little puzzled, and wanted to ask Ao Hong directly, but after thinking about it, he still passed the sound transmission to Qing Chi.

"Brother Qing Chi, what happened to Ao Hong 300 years ago? Why did he stay in Luhua Palace and only return to Dragon Palace?"

When Qing Chi heard Shen Luo's words, he was silent for a long time, and then said: "You two are friends, this matter... It's better to ask him directly."

"Brother Qingchi, what you said is outrageous. Ao Hong's face was a bit weird when he saw someone mentioning this in the palace just now. I think this matter has a great impact on him. If it is something sad, how dare I ask it?" Him? Don't you think so?" Shen Luo said with a sneer.

"It's still your thoughtfulness... This matter is indeed a sad thing, back then..." Qing Chi suddenly said.

From Qing Chi's slowly narrating voice, Shen Luo gradually heard the general context of the matter. It turned out that 300 years ago, Xihai tried to marry Donghai, and wanted to marry the eleventh princess, the jewel in the palm of the Dragon King of Xihai, to Donghai.

Naturally, the Dragon King of the East China Sea readily agreed, and at the request of the Dragon King of the West Sea, married the Eleventh Princess to the Ninth Prince Ao Hong.

It was originally a great good thing, but it was a pity that when I came to Ao Hong, he rejected it. There was no other reason, but because I already belonged to her and married her.

The person Ao Hong fell in love with was named "Ying'er", who was the essence of a jellyfish. Although he was born with a gifted and hard-to-find beauty, but because of his low blood, it was difficult to get into the eyes of the Dragon Palace, let alone the Dragon King's permission.

At that time, Ao Hong had a very high prestige in the Dragon Palace, and he was already regarded as the next master of the Dragon Palace, but he directly fell out with the Dragon King because of this matter.

"At that time, in order to force the Ninth Prince to submit, the Dragon King even imprisoned Ying'er, but who knew that the Ninth Prince's attitude was so tough, he didn't care about the overall situation of the Dragon Palace, he didn't care about the relationship between the East Sea and the West Sea, he directly broke the cage and rescued his sweetheart , all the way out of the Dragon Palace, and went to live elsewhere." Qing Chi said via voice transmission.

There was not the slightest wave on Shen Luo's face, but he secretly applauded in his heart: "Fuck with his big picture, fuck with his East-West relationship... The sky is big and the earth is big, my heart's wish is the greatest."

Such a situation is not the same as that day when the Nie family came to force the divorce, but the situation seems to be worse.

"If the matter only ended here, it would be fine. But then something happened, which caused the Ninth Prince to leave the Dragon Palace directly, and never returned for 300 years. Even the realm of cultivation has been stuck in a bottleneck since then, and there is no breakthrough." Qing Chi continued.

"Could it be that girl Ying'er..." Shen Luo had vaguely guessed the truth.

"You guessed right. Later, the place where the Ninth Prince lived was attacked by demons. Ying'er was imprisoned by the demons to save the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince went back to the Dragon Palace to ask for help. He knelt down and begged for three days. He did not wait for the Dragon King to nod, but Ying'er A ray of remnant soul came to see him for the last time. Since then, he almost broke with the Dragon Palace, went to Luhua Palace and never came back. The Dragon King didn’t know whether he felt remorse, or what, and then sent a Dragon Palace water descendant to Luhua Palace Stationed." Qing Chi continued.

After hearing this, Shen Luo couldn't help sighing in his heart, feeling really sorry for Ao Hong and Ying'er.

"Speaking of which, this girl Ying'er has some connections with you." Qing Chi said suddenly.

"Has a relationship with me?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.

"Do you still remember the blue-eyed golden toad in the Tiankeng of Dali Mountain back then?" Qing Chi asked through voice transmission.

"Could it be that this girl Ying'er was the one that Ao Hong went to Dali Mountain alone to find the person Biyan Jinchan wanted to save?" Shen Luo asked slightly surprised.

"Yes, it's her." Qing Chi quickly gave an affirmative answer.

After hearing this, Shen Luo felt extremely sad.

Chapter 0575

While Shen Luo and the others were talking, they came to a mansion gate dug into the seabed mountain wall.

On the door of the mansion, there are two extremely thick bronze door panels, with more than a dozen traces of runes criss-crossed on them, and an octagonal groove can be seen at a height of Zhang Xu below.

I saw Yuan Kai unhurriedly taking out a cyan token engraved with a tortoise shell pattern from his bosom, raised his hand and threw it down, and flew up into the air under a layer of cyan light, just fitting into the bronze door in the groove on the

Immediately afterwards, a ray of light spread from the cyan token, causing all the runes on the entire bronze giant gate to light up, and the two extremely thick giant gates began to open inward amid bursts of "rumbling" sounds.

A dazzling golden light was reflected inside the copper door, making it almost impossible for Shen Luo to look directly at it.
