Chapter 373 — Opening the Door to Release Shijin
The Beast-Taming Craftsman · Page 4 of 9
The arriving Zhanguo Legend took in the wretched state of Crimson God Island's guardian totem, the blue-haired youth whose features still faintly resembled "Lu Bai," and the terrifying host arrayed behind him—and for a moment his mind reeled, nearly fainting, his capacity for thought slipping away.
The Juzi Legend, the Lingmu Legend, and the others who followed after all wore expressions of shock. Gazing upon the scene before them, even the Legends of Donghuang stood in silence throughout, at a loss for what to say.
"Titled Legend."
With the Zhanguo Legend's arrival, the Sea Dragon King and the others could now sense this man's strength as well. Their sixth sense told them that this man was even more powerful than that Crimson God.
Was he, then, the master of the Seven Islands?
They looked toward the Zhanguo Legend, and the Zhanguo Legend's expression turned stern.
"You are the Dragon Kings of Shenyuan City."
When the Zhanguo Legend arrived, his face bearing both anger and alarm, he demanded, "Dragon Kings of Shenyuan City, why have you come to the Seven Islands? Are you trying to start a war?!"
Within the Seven Islands there existed legendary-tier combat power, there existed that humanoid taboo weapon. The Zhanguo Legend did not believe the Dragon Kings of Shenyuan City would come to the Seven Islands without cause—and moreover, lay such violent hands on their guardian deity.
"That is precisely what we wish to ask!"
Beneath the Sea Dragon King's low, heavy voice, he glared furiously at the Zhanguo Legend.
"Beast tamers of the Seven Islands, your Seven Islands have colluded with the Totem Nation, driving a venom dragon totem to invade the Dragon Palace's seas, harming countless lives under Shenyuan City's banner—and now you intend to harm a friend of the Dragon Palace as well. Do you mean to go to war?!"
"If it is war you want, then all of Shenyuan City will gladly oblige!"
"What nonsense are you spouting!" The Zhanguo Legend's expression shifted drastically.
"Nonsense?"
The Sea Dragon King turned his gaze to the Crimson God. "Just now, this man attempted to strike at our friend from Donghuang in Shenyuan City. Countless witnessed it. What do you have to say for yourself?"
The Zhanguo Legend looked down at the Phoenix Mystic Realm below, at Shi Jin scratching his head before him. His mouth hung slightly open, and soon he worked out what had happened—most likely, Shi Jin had cracked open the Phoenix Mystic Realm, the surge of resources drew the Crimson God's covetous eye, and the two sides came to blows.
If it were merely a clash, that would be one thing. What was most baffling was how the Dragon Palace host had also descended upon the Seven Islands—and been caught red-handed!
"Of course, this is merely something we happened upon by chance during our descent."
"The purpose of our coming to the Seven Islands is to demand an accounting."
"Several months ago, a frenzied venom dragon totem, mutated by radiation contamination from the taboo weapon, invaded the Dragon Palace's seas during the Dragon Palace banquet, causing countless deaths among the living things of Shenyuan City. And according to our investigation, that venom dragon totem came from your Seven Islands!"
"After investigation, we have confirmed that the venom dragon totem was a biological weapon dispatched by your Seven Islands!"
"How do you answer for this?"
The Sea Dragon King, surging with menace and reeking of murderous intent, interrogated the Zhanguo Legend.
"We require an explanation."
"Human, give us an explanation."
"Otherwise, we shall regard the Seven Islands' actions as a declaration of war against Shenyuan City." The Thunder Dragon King, the Sky Dragon King, the Cang Dragon King, and several other Dragon Kings each unleashed their vast deterrent aura, blanketing a great expanse centered upon the Phoenix Shrine.
