Chapter 148 Madam Wen: Husband, too fast!
"I wonder when my Star Sea Empire will be successfully established. Once it's built, I'll go resolve the matter of Kunwu Mountain. That must be handled properly, or there will be trouble."
"But before that, I must get the items from the Void Heaven Palace. It would be a pity to miss out; there are quite a lot of things inside, especially that little fox. I must get my hands on it, otherwise many subsequent matters won't be able to progress."
After thinking for a long time, Zhao Changsheng decided to build his Star Sea Empire first.
Now, in the entire Chaotic Star Sea, there was no longer anyone who could disobey his orders, or rather, anyone who dared to.
Under these circumstances, building the Star Sea Empire would be much faster.
"I need to make a trip to the Yao Race to ask for their opinion. If they have no objections, we'll build it together. If they do, I'll just deal with them."
"Madam, how much do you know about the Yao Race of the Outer Star Sea? Do you have a way to contact them? Tell them I intend to establish a Star Sea Empire and have them prepare. I'll give them two choices. First, obediently agree to help build the Star Sea Empire so the Human Race and Yao Race can coexist. The second choice is to be exterminated by me. Of course, I won't kill them all; after all, the Chaotic Star Sea and the Tiannan Cultivation World still need a large supply of monster beast materials. But those Great Royal Clans of theirs must be wiped out. Do you have any way to notify them so they can make their choice?"
Zhao Changsheng's words made Madam Wen's heart skip a beat. She had just finished one task, and now he wanted her to notify the Yao Race.
"The Yao Race of the Outer Star Sea has always been at odds with us humans, and the grudges between the two sides have lasted for tens of thousands of years. Making them live in harmony is simply impossible."
Madam Wen's brows furrowed deeply as she voiced her worries and concerns.
"I didn't say live in harmony, nor do I think it's possible. I just feel the Star Sea Empire needs the Yao Race to join so they can be more law-abiding. Making them a bit more restrained is enough for me. After all, if they are unruly, it's no good for us. As long as they can be somewhat disciplined, declare their joining of the Star Sea Empire, and help me out, that's fine. Because what I'm about to do next, as you know, concerns the entire Mortal Realm, and the Mortal Realm doesn't belong just to the Human Race, but also the Yao Race."
"If they want the Mortal Realm to become better, they naturally need to pay a price and help. It's impossible for us to do everything. Moreover, as far as I know, there are even more ancient Seals in the Outer Star Sea. Naturally, we need the Yao Race's help, because only then can the hidden dangers left from the ancient era be better resolved. Don't you agree?"
Madam Wen was stunned by Zhao Changsheng's words, but she still nodded.
"While that's true, I feel this matter won't be that easy. To get the Yao Race to help, it's impossible without sufficient strength. Although my husband's Divine Ability and power are far beyond ordinary Cultivators, I still feel the Yao Race won't agree so easily."
"Whether they agree or not isn't important. What matters is if you have a way to notify them. As long as they are notified, we'll see who they send. I'll have a good talk with them then and have them help persuade the other Royal Clans of the Yao Race. As long as those fellows can be persuaded, my Star Sea Empire can be officially established in the Outer Star Sea. Actually, it's not much different from before, just with the added title of the Star Sea Empire."
Zhao Changsheng's words put Madam Wen somewhat at ease, and she then spoke up.
"Actually, this matter is neither hard nor easy. One only needs to conduct a mass slaughter in the Outer Star Sea. It's best to slaughter mid-to-low Rank Yao Beasts of the type that can trigger a beast tide. This way, Advanced Yao Beasts of the Form Transformation Stage will surely take notice. Yao Beasts that reach this Rank certainly have significant backgrounds. So, one only needs to find them. Once they are told to bring back a message, there should be no problem."
"Then do you know which sea area the Flood Dragon Clan usually resides in? I plan to talk to them. They are the most powerful race in the Outer Star Sea besides the Junmao Clan. It's said they've been trending toward replacing them in recent years. Since that's the case, I think finding them is the best choice. Without offending the Royal Clan of the Yao Race, we can also let the Yao Race know this good news. I believe that Royal Clan will be very grateful to us. Anyway, I don't have much of a favorable impression of this Flood Dragon Clan. Even if they are wiped out, it's fine. After all, the Chaotic Star Sea has so many Yao Beast races that one more or less doesn't matter. If it really doesn't work, we can just import some from elsewhere. It's not too difficult a task."
Zhao Changsheng's words made Madam Wen's heart race, but remembering his strength and methods, she wasn't as worried.
"The Flood Dragon Clan is usually in the Flood Dragon Sea Territory. This is the sea area where they reside. To enter this sea area without a Teleportation Array, one can only fly from other sea areas. But in reality, even Nascent Soul Cultivators rarely do so. I once went there to hunt a Seventh-level Flood Dragon. After succeeding, I was chased by a Form Transformation Stage Flood Dragon for ten years before I managed to escape." Madam Wen answered immediately, and her words caused a flash of killing intent to cross Zhao Changsheng's eyes.
"They dared to hunt my wife? In that case, I'll use this as a reason to have a good talk with the Clan Chief of the Flood Dragon Clan. While I'm at it, I'll kill a few more Flood Dragons. If it really doesn't work, I'll just slaughter them. It's not a difficult task for me anyway."
Madam Wen felt moved by Zhao Changsheng's words.
"You plan to slaughter the Flood Dragon Clan?"
"That's right. After all, every part of a Flood Dragon is a treasure—their hides, cores, Bloodlines, and even their flesh and bones. They can be used for medicine and Alchemy. They are truly covered in treasures, and not a single bit will be wasted. This way, I'll have things to reward the forces that join the Empire. Don't you agree? It would be best to hunt a few at the Form Transformation Stage."
Madam Wen was very happy with Zhao Changsheng's words and immediately nodded in agreement.
"Alright, then I will lead the way for my husband now. But husband, you must be careful. This is no easy task. Although you have great Divine Abilities, you must still be cautious."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. I can handle anything. I won't let you come to any harm. Besides, I'm prepared to teach them a lesson. Daring to move against my wife—they're simply seeking death."
"Good!"
Afterward, Madam Wen led Zhao Changsheng to the Teleportation Array near the Flood Dragon Sea Territory.
For Madam Wen, this was a very familiar matter, and there was no need to worry about any problems.
Upon entering that sea area, Madam Wen skillfully led Zhao Changsheng toward the Flood Dragon Clan.
At this time, the Flood Dragon Clan had no idea that a fierce deity had arrived—one capable of slaughtering their entire clan to the last member.
However, the Yao Race had already learned of what happened on the human side and was very worried that Zhao Changsheng would come. After all, his strength was too terrifying, making them feel fear, even to the point of extreme dread.
One must know they had fought the Star Palace for tens of thousands of years yet still couldn't do anything to it, even being pushed back step by step to their current state.
Yet such a fearsome power was wiped out overnight, cleaned out so thoroughly that not even a hair remained, and the opponent was even planning to establish a Star Sea Empire.
The sense of fear this brought to the Yao Race was unprecedented.
On the other side, Madam Wen and Zhao Changsheng flew for about two months before finally arriving at the Flood Dragon Clan's sea area. The Flood Dragon Sea Territory was one of the Forbidden Grounds for humans in the Outer Star Sea. Basically, even Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators rarely came here unless absolutely necessary.
When Zhao Changsheng arrived at this sea area regarded as a Forbidden Ground, the first thing he did was kill all the nearby Flood Dragons. There weren't many, only two or three Rank Five Flood Dragons, which left Zhao Changsheng quite disappointed.
"Weren't there supposed to be countless Flood Dragons in the Flood Dragon Sea Territory? But after all this time, I've only killed two or three. Isn't this number a bit too small?"
Zhao Changsheng's complaint left Madam Wen somewhat speechless, but she still explained patiently.
"Husband, even if this is the Flood Dragon Clan's sea area, Flood Dragons are inherently rare. This sea area is already the one with the most Flood Dragons in the entire Outer Star Sea. Moreover, most are just low-Rank Flood Dragons. There aren't many with noble Bloodlines, and those usually only live in the deep sea, making them very difficult to find. The ones you just killed were only those with relatively high Bloodlines."
"Don't worry, I believe higher-Rank Flood Dragons will come looking for you soon. After all, the Flood Dragon Clan's Bloodline is not only noble, but their intelligence is also high. Even if they haven't reached the Form Transformation Stage, their intelligence isn't something ordinary Yao Beasts can compare to. They surely know a great enemy has come to the Flood Dragon Sea Territory and will inevitably come for revenge. So husband, don't worry, they should be here soon."
As Madam Wen's words fell, a dense mass of black clouds that blotted out the sun appeared ahead of them. These black clouds were formed of Demonic Qi, not simple dark clouds, and within them echoed Soul-shaking dragon roars.
Undoubtedly, there were Flood Dragons inside, and not just one, but over ten. Most importantly, the Ranks of these Flood Dragons were quite high, all at Rank Five or above.
"Madam is truly impressive. As soon as you spoke, they arrived. It looks like they're well-prepared: ten Rank Five Flood Dragons, two Rank Six Flood Dragons, and one Seventh-level Flood Dragon. Such a formation would likely make even a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator wary. But unfortunately for them, they've met me. Madam, how many minutes do you think it will take me to deal with them?"
Zhao Changsheng's inquiry made Madam Wen smile. She looked at the approaching Demonic Qi clouds and said with a laugh,
"How long does my husband think is appropriate?"
"I think it will take at most the time for a cup of tea to resolve them all. Madam, wait here and brew a cup of tea for me. Wait for me to return after dealing with them all, then I'll drink the tea you personally brewed and rest a bit to see if more Flood Dragons come to trouble me."
Zhao Changsheng's words made the smile on Madam Wen's face even richer and more beautiful.
"Then I shall wait here for my husband."
Madam Wen wasn't worried about Zhao Changsheng's safety at all.
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Changsheng vanished from the spot. Immediately after, screams rang out from the Demonic Qi clouds, but the screams didn't last long before they completely subsided and vanished.
"Husband, this is too fast! I haven't even started brewing the tea, and everything is already resolved."
"It's because they were too weak. I originally thought that even if the Flood Dragon Clan hadn't reached the Form Transformation Stage, they should possess Divine Abilities no weaker than the Nascent Soul Stage. I didn't expect them to be this weak. It's truly disappointing, so very disappointing. But at least they're somewhat useful; I got a few monster cores. Madam, how many Flood Dragons do you think will come to trouble me next?"
Zhao Changsheng's voice appeared by Madam Wen's ear, making her laugh.
"It shouldn't be long before Form Transformation Stage Flood Dragons come for you. After all, husband, you've now killed a Seventh-level Flood Dragon of their clan. They will definitely show up."
"I think so too. I hope a Form Transformation Stage Flood Dragon comes this time, and not one that's too weak, otherwise we won't even be able to talk clearly. If that's the case, how can I tell them about establishing the Star Sea Empire? If they agree to join, it'll be a happy ending for everyone. If they don't, I can only kill the chicken to warn the monkeys. It's not a difficult task for me anyway. When the time comes, I'll just slaughter their entire Flood Dragon Clan, then go to the Great Jin Cultivation World to get a batch to raise and slaughter slowly."
Zhao Changsheng's words made the smile on Madam Wen's face even more beautiful.
It also made her feel more secure.
"What my husband says is exactly right. In fact, I was thinking the same thing. I hope they send a Form Transformation Stage Flood Dragon this time instead of these low-Rank ones."
