Chapter 451: Chapter 346: Chastising the Dragon Clan? _2
Li Cheng cleared his throat, indeed, he was nothing more than a hands-off manager.
In the awkwardness, Li Cheng took his leave and headed for the Transmission Array.
The Dragon Clan resided on Dragon Island, and in the past, Li Cheng definitely wouldn't have been able to find the way to the Dragon Clan, but after his memory restoration, he remembered that the Confucian Sect had records of the route to Dragon Island.
Dragon Island was located in the eastern part of the Divine Realm, not belonging to the one hundred and eight mansions.
After several transfers, Li Cheng arrived at an endless coastline, looked at the vast sea, let the sea breeze blow on him, and murmured, "Back then, that ninth prince was about to step into the Divine Venerable Realm, so he must be Divine Venerable by now, right?"
When he had fought with the ninth prince, he had only been at the early stage of the Divine King Realm, while now, he had fallen from the late stage to the early stage of the Divine Venerable Realm, but his combat power hadn't weakened; in fact, it was even stronger.
Should he encounter the ninth prince again, he feared he wouldn't even have the desire for a fight, as he could easily overpower him with a flick of his hand.
Collecting his thoughts, Li Cheng made use of the two Dragon Seals within him, sensing carefully.
Soon, Li Cheng sensed the guidance of the Dragon Seals, which surely pointed towards Dragon Island.
Teleporting repeatedly above the sea's surface, half a month went by, and the legendary Dragon Island finally appeared before Li Cheng.
"The Dragon Clan are such self-righteous folks, calling a perfectly good continent an island…"
Li Cheng muttered to himself, his Divine Sense enveloping hundreds of billions of miles, yet he couldn't completely cover the continent before him, showing the vastness of Dragon Island.
Without any intention to delay, Li Cheng was about to release his aura and head straight for the central area of Dragon Island; suddenly, he sensed a familiar aura!
"That is, Ao Qianchi!"
Joy filled Li Cheng's heart, Ao Qianchi had ascended too!
No, that's not right, how could he use the word 'actually'? He was Eighth Senior Brother Grand Venerable Bai Jie's mount, he must have ascended with Eighth Senior Brother.
It's just that Ao Qianchi had come to Dragon Island after ascending and hadn't been able to go to the Confucian Sect with Grand Venerable Bai Jie.
Since he had encountered Ao Qianchi, he naturally wanted to meet him, and if he was willing, they could go back to the Confucian Sect together later.
After all, mixing with Grand Venerable Bai Jie was far better than staying on Dragon Island.
Back then, in Blunt Empty City within the Misty Forest, Ao Qianchi had given him immense help, aiding him in comprehending Earth Rules.
With that in mind, Li Cheng simply converged his aura and hurried towards the direction where Ao Qianchi was.
This was an archipelago, or perhaps better described as a continental cluster, with each piece of land ranging from tens of thousands to millions of miles in size, making up parts of Dragon Island.
At the moment, Ao Qianchi, in human form, was carrying two buckets of fertilizer to feed the Divine Medicine.
The medicine garden occupied over ten miles, with thousands of Divine Medicine plants growing.
"Elder Ao is quite wealthy, huh? Not many years since ascension, and you've planted so many Divine Medicines?" spoke Li Cheng's voice.
Ao Qianchi, who was fertilizing the Divine Medicine, was startled, turned around hastily, and his eyes showed thick joy, "Li Cheng!"
Li Cheng quickly stepped forward and greeted with a cupped fist, "Elder Ao, long time no see!"
"Haha, I'm doing quite well, how come you are on Dragon Island?" Ao Qianchi looked Li Cheng up and down, his face couldn't hide the happiness.
"Just free and wandering around," Li Cheng said, glancing at the two buckets of fertilizer beside Ao Qianchi, clicking his tongue, "Extravagant! Divine Stones mixed with more than ten kinds of special Divine Materials, this fertilizer, it's my first time seeing it."
"However, to put it another way, using these fertilizers for third-level Divine Medicine is somewhat wasteful!" Li Cheng joked.
Ao Qianchi's expression turned awkward, he hesitated for a few seconds, and said with a bitter smile, "To be honest, and I hope you won't laugh, I am just working here; these aren't mine, they belong to a Golden Dragon King."
Li Cheng was taken aback, that was unexpected.
With the Dragon Clan being rare, every Divine Dragon should hold a high status, how had Ao Qianchi come to work for someone?
And Ao Qianchi was an Ascender, after arriving in the Divine Realm, he should have been in high demand!
Look at the Dragon Emperor, who was taken into the Dragon Emperor Clan.
Even though often targeted, he was truly part of the Dragon Emperor Clan, with status and treatment definitely exceptional.
Ao Qianchi too was a Divine Dragon, and an Ascender at that, how had he ended up like this?
Gathering his spirits, Li Cheng said, "Elder, didn't you go find the Dragon Emperor Clan? With your lineage, you could totally enter the royal family, right?"
Ao Qianchi sighed, "It's better not to talk about it, come, try the fine wine I've brewed!"
Ao Qianchi pulled Li Cheng and walked towards the edge of the medicine field.
After three rounds of drinks, Ao Qianchi finally said, "It's tough in the Divine Realm, I have some regrets about ascending!"
"Why not leave Dragon Island and go find Grand Venerable Bai Jie?"
Ao Qianchi's expression turned bitter, "It's precisely because the Dragon Clan detected the contract I have with the Human Tribe that I ended up in such a situation. How could those higher-ups in the Dragon Clan allow me to leave Dragon Island?"
Li Cheng understood, the Dragon Clan was full of their own conceit, considering themselves high and mighty, certainly not allowing a Divine Dragon of their blood to become a mount for someone from the Human Tribe.
Even the Dragon Emperor, for merely being friendly with the Human Tribe, was seized by the ninth prince himself with the Prison Dragon Rope to escort him back. Not to mention Ao Qianchi, who actually had a contract with the Human Tribe.
Li Cheng suddenly realized why Grand Venerable Bai Jie wanted to come to Dragon Island of his own accord—he must have been aware of this situation, and thus planned to personally fetch Ao Qianchi.
But why didn't he tell him himself?
Or did he know that he would encounter Ao Qianchi?
After pondering for a few seconds, Li Cheng figured it out. Eighth Senior Brother must have known that he would bring Ao Qianchi back!
With that thought, Li Cheng smiled and said, "Senior, rest assured..."
"Ao Qianchi, come out!"
Before Li Cheng could finish his sentence, an angry shout came from outside the door, and the aura of the Divine King Realm swept in, shattering the wooden house they were in into splinters!
Ao Qianchi's face slightly changed, and he quickly stood up to protect Li Cheng behind him, transmitting his voice, "Li Cheng, find a chance to escape. I'll handle this!"
"Oh? A member of the Human Tribe? And carrying two Dragon Commands?"
Ten meters away stood a middle-aged man, looking at Li Cheng with some surprise, completely ignoring Ao Qianchi.
Li Cheng could tell at a glance that this middle-aged man from the Divine King Realm was indeed a Golden Dragon.
Then he must be the Golden Dragon King whom Ao Qianchi had mentioned.
"Who are you? Two Dragon Commands, interesting," the Golden Dragon King said with a cold sneer, speaking disdainfully.
Li Cheng responded indifferently, "Since you can sense the Dragon Command, then you should be able to sense that one of them comes from the Dragon Emperor Clan. Is this really your attitude?"
The Golden Dragon King's look of contempt deepened. "You must be out of the loop. The Dragon Commands are no longer effective. But out of respect for the Dragon Command, I won't bother with you, scram!"
Upon hearing this, Ao Qianchi hurriedly transmitted his voice, "Go ahead and leave. I'll come to find you after a hundred thousand years."
Li Cheng concealed his aura; how could Ao Qianchi know the strength Li Cheng now possessed?
But even if he knew that Li Cheng had become a Divine Venerable, Ao Qianchi would definitely still want Li Cheng to leave, given that this was Dragon Island. What good would being a Divine Venerable do?
The Golden Dragon King clearly heard Ao Qianchi's transmission and sneered, "Still thinking of leaving Dragon Island? Ao Qianchi, you're becoming more and more ignorant of death."
"The one ignorant of death is you!"
Li Cheng spoke lightly. His divine might instantly pressed the Golden Dragon King to the ground. "Who do you think you are? Speaking to Senior Ao like that."
The Golden Dragon King's pupils dilated and he exclaimed involuntarily, "Divine Venerable!"
Never had he imagined that this member of the Human Tribe would be a being of the Divine Venerable level!
"Apologize!" Li Cheng said coolly.
Pressed to the ground by divine might and unable to move, the Golden Dragon King ground his teeth and transformed into his true form!
But he overestimated his power. What should have been a vast body spanning thousands of miles could only transform into ten meters under Li Cheng's divine might!
This scene left the Golden Dragon King somewhat stupefied, yet he still defiantly roared, "Dream on! Even if you kill me, this king will not apologize!"
"Li Cheng, let it be, he's backed by the ninth prince, we can't afford to provoke him!" Ao Qianchi advised.
"Did you hear that? This king has the backing of the ninth prince! Not to mention the prince is also a Divine Venerable, he's a candidate for the future Dragon Emperor. How could a mere human like you afford to provoke him?" the Golden Dragon King said coldly.
"The ninth prince?" Li Cheng's brows rose slightly.
"Scared now? Now release this king!" the Golden Dragon King commanded.
Li Cheng scoffed, "What a coincidence. I wonder if killing you will draw the ninth prince here."
What?
The Golden Dragon King stiffened. What was happening?
Ao Qianchi, too, was momentarily stunned. Did Li Cheng have a grudge against the ninth prince?
Li Cheng was not just making idle threats. With a wave of his hand, the body of the Golden Dragon King shattered, leaving behind only a Dragon Ball that carried his dragon soul.
Taking the Dragon Ball in his hand, Li Cheng said, "You better hurry up and call the ninth prince. I'm waiting!"
At this scene, Ao Qianchi's complexion changed slightly, but then, as if realizing something, it returned to normal as he shook his head with a bitter smile, "You... well, even though I'm not powerful, I'm all in now!"
