Chapter 433 Ransom and Nobles War and Peace Agreement (8k, please subscribe)

"Lord Chu, spare his life."

"The Dragon Palace and the human race have maintained peace for hundreds of years, and have never interfered with each other."

"This time, there really is a reason for what happened. I hope Lord Chu will be tolerant."

The Dragon King of the South China Sea shouted loudly.

New Dragon Palace warriors, shark people, whale people, etc. gradually emerged on the sea.

Reinforcements from the South China Sea Dragon Palace are arriving in an endless stream.

Although their numbers are not enough, they are still unable to compete with Chu Wujiang.

But it is enough to prove that the war machine of Dragon Palace has not decayed and is still sharp.

Even the mermaids can mobilize an army of 400,000, so naturally the Dragon Palace can have more and more elite troops.

Chu Wujiang laughed loudly and said:
"It's easy."

"This Marquis has never thought of fighting to the death with the South China Sea Dragon Palace."

"As long as you give the appropriate compensation, I can spare the dragon girl's life and leave her safe and sound."

"As for whether it is a divine weapon, a treasured armor, or the sea, it will be up to His Majesty the Dragon King to decide."

Chu Wujiang defined the battle between the two sides as a war of aristocrats.

Both sides can maintain a certain bottom line, such as redeeming prisoners.

This was also what he had promised the Dragon Girl. As long as she did not take action against the immigrants, he would allow them to redeem the captives.

The Dragon King of the South China Sea heaved a sigh of relief and immediately said:
"I am willing to give you a congenital divine weapon [Fire Spirit Pearl] in exchange for the safe return of my daughter and the Fire Dragon Army."

"I am willing to swear that the Dragon Palace of the South Sea will never come to the East Sea again and become an enemy of Lord Chu."

"From now on, the two families will live in harmony and friendship. Isn't that wonderful?"

The Dragon King of the East China Sea couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The Dragon King of the South China Sea controls fire. There are a large number of submarine volcanoes in the South China Sea, which produce many fire beads, sun crystals, etc.

Among them, the Fire Spirit Pearl is a natural treasure with extremely harsh formation conditions. There may be only one or two in ten thousand years, or there may not be any in hundreds of thousands of years.

Now in the Dragon Palace of the South China Sea, there is only one Fire Spirit Pearl, which is priceless.

Unexpectedly, the Dragon King of the South China Sea was willing to give it up in exchange.

Chu Wujiang said with a smile:
"Innate Divine Weapon, His Majesty the Dragon King is indeed rich."

"It's a pity that the price offered for such an innate divine weapon is too low."

"I cannot agree to this."

As Chu Wujiang's strength grew, his appetite also grew.

In the past, if someone was willing to compensate him with a magic weapon, he would definitely agree to all the conditions.

Chu Wujiang’s strength is too strong now, and the requirements are rising sharply.

"This Marquis does not mention Her Highness the Dragon Girl, who possesses top-level dragon blood, as well as the compassionate bodhi mind of the Buddhist sect, and the Black Devil Flame waiting for your orders."

"Just these three thousand Fire Dragon Army are not something that a single divine weapon can defeat."

"They are worth at least two divine weapons."

This time, the South China Sea Dragon Palace suffered heavy losses, and all three thousand Fire Dragon soldiers were captured.

Because the Dragon Girl finally used her [Compassionate Bodhicitta], most of the Fire Dragon Army were only seriously injured but not dead, including the seahorses they rode.

They all turned into ice sculptures, their lives hanging by a thread.

The Dragon Girl's final act of protecting her own soldiers became a bargaining chip for the Chu family.

The Dragon King of the South China Sea frowned and said:
"Master Chu, you are too greedy."

"Even if my daughter is defeated, the foundation of the South China Sea Dragon Palace will remain intact."

"I can still lead the Dragon Palace warriors to destroy all arrangements made by the human race in the East China Sea."

"Not to mention that the Dragon King of the East China Sea will also take action!"

This time, the Dragon King of the South Sea looked at the Dragon King of the East Sea, and the Dragon King of the East Sea said quickly:

"Master Chu, the human race has a saying."

"It is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies."

"I can make a decision and let the human race settle in the East China Sea without being disturbed by any sea creatures."

"Is that good?"

Chu Wujiang smiled and said nothing, but instead gave the scholar ghost a wink.

The ghost scholar Pang Wentao was always clever. He saw the opportunity and shouted:

"My lord, as long as a fire dragon is eaten, the Yin ghost can become a fierce ghost."

"As long as the Yin Gui Sect eats all the fire dragons, they can cultivate at least three thousand evil spirits, or even a ghost king, to dominate the world!"

"This is much more valuable than the Shilaozi magic weapon."

"My king, we want to eat. We want to eat dragons!"

The three thousand fire dragon soldiers have combat power that exceeds that of ordinary souls and are of extraordinary value.

Snow Girl and Shen Qingyue worked together, with the help of the negative energy of Teardrop Island and the full efforts of 100,000 ghost soldiers, to defeat the Fire Dragon Army.

This shows how difficult it is to beat the opponent.

After hundreds of years of accumulation, the Dragon Palace has only about 10,000 Fire Dragon Army soldiers. These are the most direct and loyal guards of the South China Sea Dragon Palace, and they will fight to the death.

How could we lose one third of our troops here?

To become a powerful demon king depends on luck and talent, and it is difficult to cultivate one in a short period of time.

An army like the Fire Dragon Army, which has been passed down stably from generation to generation and can maintain its spiritual combat power as long as the resource supply is maintained, is naturally the apple of His Majesty the Dragon King's eye.

If we take one magic weapon as an example, it is equivalent to one primordial spirit.

The offer made by the Dragon King of the South China Sea was obviously too low.

When the scholar ghost saw this, he immediately shouted, and the other ghosts became bolder and shouted:

"My king, we have lost three thousand frozen ghost brothers. We need compensation and meat. Eat dragon meat!"

The ghosts were filled with gloom and anger.

For a moment, the Chu family army looked more like villains.

The Dragon King of the East Sea quickly came to act as a peacemaker:
"You can't eat it! You can't eat it!"

"These fire dragon soldiers all have dragon blood, which cannot be devoured by ghosts."

"Not only will it not be beneficial for a ghost to eat it, it will easily turn into ashes."

"Master Chu, please stay calm."

"Dragon Palace in the East China Sea and Longzhou have been neighbors for many years."

Chu Wujiang then signaled to the Snow Girl, who quickly scolded:
"All ghosts, be quiet and set up the formation!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

One hundred thousand ghost soldiers regrouped to form the Ten Thousand Ghosts Formation, making the surrounding area filled with eerie ghost energy.

Seeing the ghosts liven up the atmosphere, Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"The human race settling in the East China Sea is just a bonus."

"The price cannot be too low, otherwise my battle would be in vain."

"After this battle, I also suffered heavy losses."

The East Sea Dragon King's face turned dark. From the very beginning, he sent out the [Crystal Dragon Fish] to secretly observe the situation on the battlefield.

The Chu family suffered no losses at all.

But Chu Wujiang insisted:
"The Fire Dragon Army is worth at least 2 pieces of magic weapons. As for Her Highness the Dragon Girl, considering her future, it is not a problem for her to be worth 3 pieces."

"How about this."

"I will suffer a little loss, but as long as the South China Sea Dragon Palace produces seven magical weapons, this matter will be forgotten."

Three plus two equals seven!

Is there anyone who settles accounts like you?

The Dragon King of the South China Sea's face twitched. He couldn't believe that such a lion would ask for such a big reward.

But Chu Wujiang added with a smile:
"The five divine weapons are only used to redeem the captives."

"The remaining two items are compensation. I am sincere in my offer."

fart!

Bullying the dragon is too much!

The Dragon King of the South China Sea could not bear the loss of 7 magical weapons.

It immediately abandoned its human form, transformed into a dragon, and entered a full combat state.

The Dragon King has two forms, one is humanoid and the other is dragon.

Once it enters the dragon state, the dragon's might will radiate uncontrollably.

"Master Chu, don't go too far."

"The Dragon Palace in the South China Sea is not a lamb to be slaughtered!"

"The South China Sea Dragon Palace will not agree to such a condition."

The Dragon King of the South China Sea transformed into a dragon, and the entire sea surface became tense again!
At this time, some sea tribe warriors shouted in unison:
"No, no, no!"

The fighting power of the Dragon Palace is gathering towards the East China Sea, and the number of soldiers is constantly increasing.

One hundred thousand ghosts sensed the dragon's might and could not help but lower their heads. The shock of this kind of dragon's might was definitely not something that ordinary ghosts could withstand.

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"Your Highness the Dragon King, are you planning to threaten me?"

The Dragon King of the South China Sea shouted in a deep voice:

"Lord Chu!"

"The war between humans and demons has lasted for tens of thousands of years and has never stopped."

"Many of my brothers and sisters were killed by humans."

"It wouldn't matter if I had one more daughter."

"If you are blackmailing me like this, then I will have no choice but to ban the Chu family from going to sea!"

The Dragon King of the South China Sea likes the dragon girl Di Xi very much and believes that she will have the hope of taking charge of the Dragon Palace in the future, but that doesn't mean he will compromise for this.

My daughter is dead, so let her die.

The Fire Dragon Army must be completely destroyed, then let’s destroy them all.

All in all, Ryugu is not under duress.

In the war between humans and demons, all kinds of deaths have long been commonplace.

Both sides lowered their bottom line. You can kill my daughter, and I will send masters from the Dragon Palace to launch a full-scale attack on the Chu family's foundation and manpower.

Chu Wujiang felt the threat from the Dragon King of the South China Sea, smiled and said:
"Your Highness, Dragon King, well said."

"But the Chu family is not threatened either!"

"If the Chu family does not allow us to go to the sea, the Dragon Palace in the South China Sea will not have peace from now on!"

Just now the sharks were shouting, but now one hundred thousand demons are shouting in unison:
"No peace for a moment!"

Who is afraid of whom!

The worst that could happen to Chu Wujiang is that he would waste a year. If this year's colonization plan fails, he can continue to slaughter people in the South China Sea Dragon Palace in exchange for funds.

Now Chu Wujiang possesses abilities such as [Dragon Soars Across the World], and with the cooperation of [Qiankun Gourd], it is not easy for him to launch a sneak attack on the masters of the Dragon Palace in the South China Sea, but at least it is very convenient.

So the Dragon King of the South China Sea planned to make a threat.

Chu Wujiang immediately drew out the Wu Yue Divine Sword and began to mobilize the silver luck and the secret of destruction.

It is undeniable that the Dragon Kings in the four seas Dragon Palace are all very powerful, and the lowest is at the level of the second calamity spirit.

He is not the opponent yet.

The only way to destroy the opponent is with silver luck.

The aura of Chu Wujiang became more and more terrifying. The Dragon King of the East China Sea felt a little frightened and shouted:

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

“We have been neighbors for many years.”

"It's not beautiful to have a war like this."

"It's better for both of us to take a step back."

The Dragon King of the East China Sea is the one who is most reluctant to see a war between the two sides.

After all, the two families are at war, and the nominal leader of the demon clan, the Demon Saint, will definitely be involved in the matter.

In this way, the Dragon King of the East Sea cannot escape and must join the battle.

The Dragon King of the East Sea shouted:

"Brother Yan, don't be so grumpy, sit down and talk."

"Brother Chu, you are worried about the development of the human race, so don't be impulsive."

The Dragon King of the South China Sea had a gloomy expression.

Only the entire South China Sea Dragon Palace can defeat Chu Wujiang.

Especially Chu Wujiang, it is really too dangerous.

The Dragon King of the South China Sea arrived when the Snow Girl used Snow Dance in the Sky, and used [Hidden Dragon in the Abyss] to hide his breath and observe secretly.

It watched its daughter fight for her life, while at the same time looking for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Chu Wujiang.

In the opinion of the Dragon King of the South China Sea, the outcome of this war does not depend on the Fire Dragon Army, but on the life and death of Chu Wujiang.

Chu Wujiang has the ability to threaten the second-tribulation soul. The combination of Xue Nu and Shen Qingyue, plus a hundred thousand ghost soldiers, can resist the first-tribulation soul.

When the Monkey King enters his complete state under the summons of Silver Moon, he is able to defeat an ordinary spirit.

How to fight this?
The entire sea became silent and the armies on both sides held their breath.

As long as the order is given, the war will begin immediately.

The Dragon King of the East Sea immediately used a secret technique to transmit his voice:
[Prime Minister Turtle, order General Crab to retreat ten miles.]

[If they start fighting, we will retreat.]

Now the South China Sea Dragon Palace is still increasing its troops, and many sharks have come from the ocean, such as the blue shark, great white shark, tiger shark and other tribes.

These shark people have a strong desire to fight and can go into the battlefield at any time.

Just as the Dragon King of the South China Sea was hesitating, Chu Wujiang said in a deep voice:

"For the sake of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, I can take a step back."

Everyone suddenly felt relieved, and the Dragon King of the East Sea said quickly:

"Master Chu, please speak."

Chu Wujiang pointed at the dragon girl and said:

"For example, Her Highness Dragon Lady signed an agreement with this Marquis that she will never be an enemy of the human race for the rest of her life."

"In this way, the price of her redemption can be reduced to a magic weapon."

The Dragon King of the South China Sea was furious and said:

"Master Chu, are you kidding?"

"You call that a concession?"

Chu Wujiang nodded and said:

"Of course I will give in."

"If the Chu family attacks the South China Sea Dragon Palace first, the agreement will be void."

"I don't want her to become the dragon clan's sharp knife and become hostile to us again."

"Either kill her, restrict her, or get adequate compensation."

Both parties were very candid.

This dragon girl is devoted to her cultivation. Her methods are not ruthless enough and she lacks some qualities of a hero, but her talent is there. She will definitely become a top master of the Dragon Palace in the future.

Chu Wujiang naturally wouldn't be polite to her.

Of course, compared to the growth of the Dragon Girl, what Chu Wujiang needs more now is to maintain overseas immigration, and he can make some concessions for this purpose.

The Dragon King of the South China Sea said in a deep voice:
“The agreement must be drawn up by both parties.”

Chu Wujiang nodded and said:

"no problem."

"I don't want to play such tricks."

This seems acceptable.

The Dragon King of the South China Sea quickly calculated the bill and decided that compared to the death of his daughter, compensation of a magic weapon was acceptable.

Chu Wujiang asked for a huge sum of money and never expected the Dragon King of the South China Sea to pay the compensation as requested.

Just to ask for a high price and then pay it back.

In this way, the Chu family can gain advantages in other aspects.

The Dragon King of the South China Sea calmed down and said:
"I agree with this, but it is still too high."

"Even if my daughter signs the contract, she still has to pay for the five magic weapons."

The Dragon King of the South China Sea can give everything for his daughter, but there is a limit to this giving.

As the leader of the demon tribe in the South China Sea, it is natural that it will not be overwhelmed by emotions.

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"The compensation is for two items, don't make a mistake."

"But I allow other conditions to replace the two magic weapons."

The Dragon King of the South China Sea perked up and immediately asked:

"Master Chu, please try to explain it."

Chu Wujiang continued:
"First, the Chu family must have the franchise and development rights for the South China Sea within a 500-mile radius south of the coastline." "The door is open, and the benefits are shared equally. These profits will be used to repay the value of the two magic weapons."

"Anyone who flies the Chu family's flag must not be harmed."

Chu Wujiang wants to open the key to ocean trade. He cannot destroy the Four Seas Dragon Palace in a short period of time, so it is better for the two sides to trade and make money first.

The Dragon King of the South China Sea frowned. This would easily destroy the integrity of the South China Sea, which would be tantamount to ceding 500 miles of sea area.

The islands above and the minerals on the seabed must be shared with the Chu family.

But compared to the magic weapons, these seem acceptable.

The Dragon King of the East Sea added:
[Brother Yan, the Chu family's development of the coastal areas has indeed made Donghai rich.]

[Although it’s not much, it’s better than holding it in our hands. ]

The Dragon King of the South China Sea nodded and said:
"Yes, the king has given his permission."

Chu Wujiang smiled and continued:
"Second, the safety and interests of the Chu family's immigrants at sea must be guaranteed in the South China Sea and the East China Sea."

"The South China Sea and the East China Sea have an obligation to ensure security in both oceans."

The ocean is dangerous.

In just a few months, many major wars broke out.

Chu Wujiang does not plan to launch a full-scale attack on the demon clan for the time being, even if he wins the gains will not be great.

The 500-mile territory along the coast from Longzhou, Yuzhou, Haizhou and other places is enough for the Chu family to develop.

He prefers to use salami-slicing tactics.

This part has not been completely digested yet. After development, there is not much meaning in fighting against the demon tribe one after another.

Even though Chu Wujiang gains something from every battle, it is of no benefit to completely provoke the Four Seas Dragon Palace to fight you to the death.

The Dragon King of the South China Sea heard this and his expression changed slightly:
"His Majesty the Demon King will not allow it."

"Even though there aren't many wars between humans and demons right now, with the changes of the times, wars are inevitable..."

Sure enough.

The demons did not invade on a large scale, they were essentially still waiting.

They feel that the era belongs to them, and they continue to accumulate strength. When their strength reaches a certain level, they will launch a full-scale invasion.

Chu Wujiang said lightly:

"There will always be fighting. The fighting and killing between the two tribes will never stop."

"What I require is that a corresponding agreement be signed, principles of war be established, and ordinary people not be deliberately slaughtered in the process."

"Similarly, humans wouldn't do that."

“It will be beneficial for both of us.”

Chu Wujiang needs the human race to continue to expand overseas, but he cannot spend too much effort protecting these ordinary immigrants.

As the saying goes, a kind man cannot command an army.

These people are destined to become victims of human expansion.

He just hopes to establish rules as much as possible so that the Four Seas Dragon Palace can feel more at ease and not have to worry about Chu Wujiang launching an unlimited war.

The Dragon King of the South China Sea said in a deep voice:
"As long as we do these two things, we can reduce the number of magic weapons by two?"

Chu Wujiang nodded and said:

"Yes."

"After all, I don't have the time to continue to be hostile to the Four Seas Dragon Palace."

"At least I don't want to fight now."

"Of course you want to fight, I will fight you till the end!"

The issue in Tianjing has not been resolved yet.

The devil is plotting in secret.

Chu Wujiang did not intend to fight on two fronts.

His first priority was to stabilize the situation in Tianjing and find and kill the demon lord.

As for the war with the demon clan, it will be a long one and can be postponed a little.

The Dragon King of the South China Sea took a deep breath and nodded:

"Okay, I promise you."

"This time, I will compensate the Chu family with three treasures that are equivalent to divine weapons."

"One is the Fire Spirit Pearl. As for the other two, what do you want, Lord Chu?"

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"This Marquis wants a fortune secret treasure that can be used by humans. The more the better."

"I don't need secret treasures like magic luck or demon luck."

Chu Wujiang couldn't reveal that he could absorb demon luck and devil luck, so he deliberately emphasized these two sentences.

The Dragon King of the South China Sea pondered for a moment:

"Secret treasure of luck?"

"This king has indeed snatched some treasures like this."

The Four Seas Dragon Palace waged a long war with the human race.

Naturally, the Dragon Palace also snatched away many of the human race’s hobbies, secret treasures, and even magical weapons.

Thinking of this, the Dragon King of the South China Sea could not help but ask:

"I do have two good fortune treasures. How about using them to compensate for one magic weapon?"

"As for the last item, I will exchange it with a spirit-level dragon ball, and add some natural treasures."

"What do you think, Lord Chu?"

There are many treasures in the Dragon Palace, but the magic weapons are relatively rare. Unlike humans, we do not have advanced forging technology and can produce magic weapons regularly.

The magic weapon is a fighting force that can be deployed at any time.

So when the Dragon King of the South China Sea heard that Chu Wujiang wanted seven magic weapons, he turned hostile on the spot.

Now that Chu Wujiang had used various means to reduce the price to 3 items, he was willing to make a deal.

Chu Wujiang nodded and said:

"No problem, Your Majesty the Dragon King, please fetch the things."

"I will tell you after I have verified it."

Oh oh oh!
When the Dragon Girl heard about the secret treasure of destiny, she couldn't help but become anxious, and wanted to use various means to remind her father.

Shen Qingyue and Xue Nu smiled at each other and reinforced the ice again.

The Dragon King of the South China Sea nodded and said:
"Okay, I will fetch the treasure right away."

The Dragon King of the South China Sea is a second-tribulation spirit, so space teleportation is not a difficult task for him.

The surrounding space became strange and distorted, and the Dragon King of the South China Sea disappeared on the spot.

After a while, the Dragon King of the South China Sea brought a fire spirit bead, a dragon bead, and two secret treasures of luck.

Chu Wujiang nodded secretly.

Even though Ryugu was an enemy, they did a pretty good job of keeping their promises and at least managed to maintain a bit of superficial peace.

After the Dragon King of the South China Sea took the treasures, he was not afraid that Chu Wujiang would cheat him. He directly used his magic power to send the two secret treasures to the scholar ghost beside Chu Wujiang, and asked the scholar ghost to pass them on on his behalf.

Chu Wujiang took the secret treasures and found that one was a jade carving of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the other was a painting called "Five Blessings Come to the Door".

As soon as these two treasures were obtained, corresponding words appeared in the Heavenly Book.

[Secret treasure: jade carving of Guanyin Bodhisattva]

【300 points of orange luck detected. 】

[Secret Treasure: Fortune Comes to the Door]

【100 points of white fortune detected.】

【100 points of cyan fortune detected.】

【100 points of blue luck detected.】

【300 points of purple fortune detected.】

Huh?
Isn’t your name five blessings?

Chu Wujiang subconsciously opened the scroll, and there were four cute Fuwa on the picture.

The four Fuwa each occupy one side of the painting, some holding a ruyi, some embracing a longevity peach, some standing on a lotus, and some holding a treasure vase, each with a different posture.

Each of the Fuwa’s faces is filled with an innocent smile and looks lifelike.

Chu Wujiang simply glanced at the scroll and immediately signed his name. Sure enough, the four big words "Shenghua Jushi" were written on it.

It’s you, an old acquaintance.

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but ask:

"The first fortune secret treasure is okay, but the second one seems to be missing something?"

The Dragon King of the South China Sea said with a hint of embarrassment:
"To be honest with you, Lord Chu, these two treasures caused a bit of a stir when Xi'er was born."

"Later, the spirituality above was not as good as before."

The Dragon King of the South China Sea is a powerful being, so he can naturally see the amount of fortune on the secret treasure of luck.

Chu Wujiang suddenly realized.

[The Dragon Girl's ability to have a compassionate bodhi mind is probably related to these two secret treasures.]

[One contains the luck of Tao, the other contains the luck of fortune. With the interaction of the two, he became the peerless genius of Buddhism.]

Chu Wujiang quickly asked:

"Your Majesty, Dragon King, these two secret treasures can be combined into a magical weapon."

"But I want to ask one more question."

The 300 points of orange luck on the Guanyin jade carving alone are worth a magic weapon, not to mention the Five Blessings Picture.

The Dragon King of the South China Sea nodded and said:
"Master Chu, please speak."

Chu Wujiang pondered for a moment and said:

"Do you still remember the origins of these two treasures?"

The Dragon King of the South China Sea frowned and fell into deep thought. Chu Wujiang did not urge him and let the Dragon King think.

After a long while, the Dragon King of the South China Sea replied sheepishly:
"That jade carving was stolen by me."

"It was stolen from Wuhua Temple about six hundred years ago."

Chu Wujiang's face darkened.

No wonder Buddhism is said to be in decline. Such an important treasure of fortune has been stolen.

What a disgrace.

"What about the other one?"

The Dragon King of the South China Sea simply replied:
"As for the other one, it was given by the Demon Palace."

"That time, the leader of the Demon Palace visited me and gave me many treasures. This Five Blessings Picture is one of them. He said it would bring good luck to me."

"It's a coincidence that after I got that treasure, the princess soon became pregnant with Xi'er."

“This is really a treasure.”

"But I have tried many times and have never had a similar effect."

Chu Wujiang's pupils shrank slightly.

This is really hard to find, and it takes no effort to get there.

The Demon Palace had actually set up a new base in the South China Sea so early.

If we can verify the circulation process of "The Five Blessings Picture", perhaps we can find clues about the Demon Lord.

Chu Wujiang asked quickly:
"What does the leader of this Demon Palace look like, and how strong is he?"

The Dragon King of the South China Sea groaned:
"It is probably stronger than this king. No, it should be much stronger."

"This king has always felt that it is very dangerous, but considering that it wants to deal with the human race, I agreed to its request."

"As for its appearance and origin, this king does not know."

"When it came to see me, it was a cloud of black smoke."

"Its bloodline should be very powerful. I am even somewhat suppressed by it."

Chu Wujiang took a deep breath and thanked:

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Dragon King, for telling me."

With this clue, he felt that he was getting closer to the Demon Lord.

After all, the famous works of Mr. Shenghua often have a clearer flow, while some guys who like to stamp their works will add unnecessary details to the paintings.

This painting of "Five Blessings" has the seal of Duke Ningguo, one of the biggest collectors in the Tianming Dynasty.

The Dragon King of the South China Sea stared at Chu Wujiang:
"Master Chu, you don't have to be polite, but my daughter still has the Fire Dragon Army?"

Chu Wujiang accepted the two fortune secret treasures and nodded:
"Don't worry, Your Highness the Dragon King. I will execute the transaction immediately."

"Snow Girl, release the Fire Dragon Army."

Upon hearing this, the Snow Girl retracted her cold air and ordered the ghosts to release the Fire Dragon Army.

The Fire Dragon Army looked rather miserable. About 20% of them were killed, and nearly 2,000 of them were seriously injured. The rest were slightly injured, and not a single one was intact.

The Fire Dragon Army soldiers retreated and couldn't help shouting:

"Your Majesty, we are ashamed."

Seeing that his guards were blaming themselves, the Dragon King of the South China Sea used his magical powers to release a large amount of mana to help the Fire Dragon Army soldiers heal their injuries, and at the same time comforted them with a pleasant expression:
"You've done a great job."

"Go down and heal your wounds."

These Fire Dragon Army are his lifeblood, and it would be best if they could come back alive.

After the first batch of prisoners were exchanged, the South China Sea Dragon King's expression warmed, and he handed over the remaining treasures, the Dragon Balls and the Fire Spirit Balls.

The Fire Spirit Pearl emits astonishing heat. It was born from a group of underwater volcanoes and needs to absorb endless energy to successfully transform.

As for the dragon balls of the Yuanshen-level dragons, they are the main material for making magical weapons, and there is a chance of making top-grade magical weapons.

Chu Wujiang always abides by the agreement and pays for goods. After getting these things, he gave the order:

"Xue Nu, Qing Yue, release Her Royal Highness Dragon Girl."

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

The ice and snow on the dragon girl's body melted quickly. After she thawed, she looked at Chu Wujiang with a complicated expression, as if she wanted to remember him forever in her heart.

Chu Wujiang didn't care whether the dragon girl would hold a grudge or not. He just took out a contract and handed it to the Dragon King of the South China Sea.

The Dragon King of the South China Sea checked it carefully and made some suggestions for revision. Chu Wujiang absorbed some reasonable suggestions and improved it.

After he finished all this, he placed the contract in front of the Dragon Girl.

"Your Highness Dragon Lady, let's sign the contract."

"I swear by the Human Emperor, and you swear by the Demon Emperor."

"From now on, if you don't become an enemy of the human race, we will not be enemies."

"May the two families live in harmony for the time being."

Everyone knew that this was just a truce.

Chu Wujiang needs time to develop, and Dragon Palace needs to readjust its policy towards the human race.

The Dragon Girl picked up the contract, read it carefully, and immediately signed her name [Long Xi], swearing to the heavens:
"Your Majesty the Demon King, I will abide by the agreement."

The black magic flame in her body disappeared completely in an instant.

After all, the Demon King gave her the treasure in the hope that she could destroy Chu Wujiang. Once she failed to complete the task and was unwilling to destroy the human race, she would lose the Demon King's protection.

The dragon girl's face turned paler and paler, but she maintained the demeanor of a princess of the Dragon Palace, bowed and said:

"Thank you, Chu Wujiang."

Chu Wujiang knew what she was thankful for.

There was still fighting spirit in the dragon girl's eyes.

So she thanked Chu Wujiang.

Thank you for teaching me such a great lesson.

Thank you for making me realize that there is always someone better.

Thank you for not choosing to kill the warriors of the Dragon Palace.

So I will try my best to catch up with you and beat you!
No extraordinary genius would be discouraged by a little setback.

Chu Wujiang smiled:
"You're welcome."

With the Dragon Girl's signature, peace came.

The armies of both sides slowly retreated one after another, leaving the battlefield step by step.

At this moment, Lu Youlan's urgent voice came to Chu Wujiang's ears:
[My dear, I can’t keep it secret any longer.]

[The eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Fang Xiaoran, came to visit. He said that he and his husband had made an appointment to visit the Duke of Liguo's Mansion together.]

As the saying goes, noble people are busy. Chu Wujiang wasted most of the day competing with the Dragon Girl, and doubts arose in Tianjing.

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:
[Tell him to wait first, and tell him that I am on my way to Wushan with my ladies, so we need to wait longer.]

【what? 】

[My husband, this is not good. ]

【Don't worry, just tell him like this. 】

[For a smart person like him, the more ridiculous the reason, the easier it is for him to believe it.]

Lu Youlan had no choice but to nod and say:

[Yes, husband.]

Chu Wujiang is very busy, so he will deal with anything after his luck is improved.
