160: The conditions for the Queen Mother of the West's first visit to the East Sea
Looking at the determined expression of the East King Duke, the Queen Mother of the West smiled as well.
The disdain of the past was gone, as was her former haughtiness, replaced instead by a flicker of touch and recognition.
Taking a careful look at the East King Duke, the Queen Mother of the West slowly stood up and said, "Along the way, eighteen factions ambushed me. I want you to promise that you will help me wipe them all out in the future!"
"In addition, as many as one hundred and twenty-eight Cultivators attacked me on the road. I want you to promise to destroy those fellows as well!"
"As for the last thing..."
At this point, a flash of resentment crossed the Queen Mother of the West's eyes as she spoke. "The Three Pure Ones expelled me from West Kunlun. I know this was because my skills were inferior, and I understand you can't do anything to them."
"However, the catalyst for this whole affair was a Cultivator named Li Yun. He has extremely close relations with both the Three Pure Ones and the Ancestral Witches. I want you to kill him. Can you do it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, a dead silence filled the hall.
After stating her three conditions, the Queen Mother of the West fell silent, while the East King Duke was immersed in processing this information.
After a long while, the East King Duke snapped out of it, looked up at the Queen Mother of the West, and said, "Whether it be the factions or the individuals who attacked you, I, the East King Duke, swear to annihilate them all to avenge you!"
"As for Li Yun, he will be no exception."
"What of the Three Pure Ones? What of the Ancestral Witches? Whoever provokes you is an enemy of the East King Duke!"
"Even the Three Pure Ones—once my strength improves, it's not impossible for me to test my mettle against them!"
"After all, you and I are the Shapeshifting forms of extreme yang and extreme yin. Separately, we are indeed no match for them, but when we are as one, we can hold our own against the Three Pure Ones and Ancestral Witches."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West smiled.
She knew the East King Duke's character and was even more aware of his ambitions and goals.
Ultimately, he lusted after her body and the fact that she was the extreme yin Shapeshifting form, which could complement his Yin and Yang to reach higher levels and standards.
But what of it?
The incident at West Kunlun had taught the Queen Mother of the West one thing.
Even with numerous pursuers and subordinates, she was still vulnerable in the face of absolute strength.
Because of this, even when the Three Pure Ones came knocking with a mere casual excuse, she still had no power to resist or fight back.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother of the West walked slowly toward the East King Duke, reached out to stop him, and said, "In that case, I shall trust you!"
"Let's go. The priority now is our Body Integration to break through to Quasi-Saint!"
"Only by advancing to Quasi-Saint can your ambitions and my revenge be fulfilled!"
"Good!"
Nodding, the East King Duke did not refuse.
Feeling the warmth of the beauty in his arms, he immediately bent down, picked her up, and walked toward the bedroom... Li Yun was completely unaware of all this.
At this moment, he had already arrived at the East Sea Region.
As far as the eye could see, the East Sea was boundless, its waters churning, and the moisture in the air could be felt from afar.
"Immortal islands!"
"How should I search for them?"
Looking at the vast, endless sea, Li Yun felt as if a lifetime had passed.
In such a wide East Sea, the difficulty of finding Penglai Immortal Island, Fangzhang Island, and Yingzhou Island was immense.
But at this point, giving up didn't seem like an option. After looking around, Li Yun picked a random direction and flew off.
However, before he had flown very far, Li Yun sensed some unusual fluctuations coming from the sea surface below.
Looking down, he could see a Golden Carp swimming rapidly beneath the surface, while two flood dragons were actually chasing it from behind.
The Golden Carp only had a cultivation at the Golden Immortal Realm, while the two flood dragons chasing it were at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, yet they were surprisingly unable to catch up.
"Interesting!"
"This Golden Carp is quite unusual!"
Muttering to himself, Li Yun didn't hesitate to activate his Purple Gold Divine Pupils to investigate.
In the next second, he saw through the foundations and backgrounds of the three.
The flood dragons in pursuit were the Yin-Yang Flood Dragons. They were quite unique, being twins who possessed a special combined attack ability that allowed them to merge into a pair of scissors to slay powerful enemies.
"Could these two flood dragons be the future golden jiao scissors?"
Raising an eyebrow, Li Yun felt a surge of excitement.
The golden jiao scissors.
In the original legends, when the Three Pure Ones split up and Tongtian arrived at the East Sea to establish his dojo, he encountered two flood dragons at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level. After subduing them, the two transformed into a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure: the golden jiao scissors!
The golden jiao scissors were incredibly powerful with massive destructive force. Once thrown, they could transform into the Yin-Yang Flood Dragons to slay enemies. In Bi Xiao's hands, they were one of the deadliest treasures.
Although Li Yun didn't lack Spirit Treasures, the uniqueness of the golden jiao scissors still made him quite tempted.
Furthermore, the Golden Carp was also not simple.
Under the gaze of the Purple Gold Divine Pupils, the Bloodline Power within it manifested as an extremely pure Dragon Clan Bloodline. If it could find an Opportunity, it could completely transform into a Dragon.
Moreover, judging by the Bloodline in its body, if it could transform into a Dragon, it would have the Aptitude of at least a seven-clawed golden dragon, or even a nine-clawed golden dragon.
One must know that aside from the Ancestral Dragon who had twelve claws, the other top experts of the Dragon Clan only had nine-clawed Aptitude and foundations, which were on par with top-tier Innate Deities.
"Interesting!"
"With such rich Bloodline Power, if the Yin-Yang Flood Dragons could devour it, the power of the golden jiao scissors would be significantly enhanced."
Thinking of this, Li Yun no longer hesitated. With a flicker of his body, he used the Golden Light Escape to give chase.
Before long, Li Yun had caught up with the Yin-Yang Flood Dragons and the Golden Carp. Without any hesitation, Li Yun raised his hand and waved it toward the sea surface below: "Open!"
In the next second, surging dharmic power swept out, directly slicing open the surface of the sea and instantly exposing the Golden Carp and the Yin-Yang Flood Dragons.
At that moment, they also noticed Li Yun's presence in mid-air.
Almost instantly, the Golden Carp spoke up: "Senior, I am the son of the East Sea Dragon King. If Senior saves my life, my Royal Father will surely reward you handsomely!"
The son of the East Sea Dragon King?
How could that be!
Li Yun's mouth twitched, feeling that the other party was trying to fool him.
Although Dragon Clan offspring were unique and the Bloodline in this fellow's body was pure, there was really very little chance he was the son of a Dragon King.
After all, if he really were the Dragon King's offspring, how could he be wandering outside? How could he have been chased by the Yin-Yang Flood Dragons for so long without any reinforcements?
"Fellow Daoist, do not be deceived by him!"
At this moment, the Yang Flood Dragon spoke up quietly: "This fellow is not the son of any Dragon King, nor is he even a member of the Dragon Clan!"
"This scoundrel stole a Dragon Ball that my wife and I obtained. He only became like this after devouring it. Before that, he was just an ordinary Little Carp!"
"Fellow Daoist, please help my wife and me capture him. As long as you can catch him, my wife and I will surely give you a generous reward!"
