Chapter 756: Chapter 757: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes (2nd Update!)

The waves surged heavenward, and the powerful aftershocks from the depths of the sea rose to the sky, stirring up giant waves. At this moment, the entire surface of the Western Sea had transformed into a hellish scene. The Sea Race of the Western Sea all moved far away to avoid the chaos, even the soldiers of the Western Sea Dragon Palace kept their distance, fearing they would be caught in it.

“Hey, this Dragon King Ao Run of the Western Sea isn’t too shabby! The Dragon Race really has tremendous potential!”

In mid-air, Sun Wukong’s eyes glittered with golden light as he watched the situation in the waters below and couldn’t help but praise aloud. Ao Tian and Ying Tian had told him long ago about the part of the Dragon heritage they gave to the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas. Although they verbally renounced it, Wukong knew they still felt attached and reluctant to let go, so over the years, he hadn’t forcefully taken control of the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas, mainly out of respect for Ao Tian and Ying Tian’s feelings.

“I’m saying, Ao Lie, your old man’s cultivation has now surpassed yours. You haven’t been skimping on those cultivation resources I gave you for your old man, right?”

Glancing at the White Dragon Ao Lie nearby, Sun Wukong gave a slight smile, his lips curving up into a playful smirk.

“Great Saint, I didn’t do it on purpose, I just, this…”

The White Dragon Ao Lie’s complexion changed, becoming somewhat nervous and even stuttering.

“Alright, alright, I’m not being petty about this!”

Sun Wukong waved his hand, “Just kidding with you! After all, Ao Run is your father, and it’s only right for a son to honor his father. But, I did not expect that old guy Ao Run’s cultivation strength to rise so quickly! It seems he was suppressed too harshly in the past, and now he’s bursting out with all that pent-up power.”

After a pause, Sun Wukong’s eyes narrowed slightly, a cold gleam flashing through them, a chilling murderous intent seeping into his voice, “But, I really didn’t expect it was the Wing Tribe stirring up trouble behind the scenes! I thought the incident with the Hidden Clan would have been a wake-up call for the Myriad Races. Seems I’ve been too merciful!”

“Great Saint, let me go help my father king wipe out those scoundrels from the Wing Tribe!”

The White Dragon Ao Lie’s body trembled, an involuntary chill running down his spine. Having stayed in the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court for so long and having interacted quite a bit with Sun Wukong, he understood Wukong’s character well and knew that the behavior of the Wing Tribe had thoroughly enraged Sun Wukong. Their good days were over!

“No need for now! Your father king is strong now, and that Wing Tribe likely isn’t his match. Let’s wait and see, and when the hidden hand behind the scenes shows itself, then we can make our move!”

The Wing Tribe alone should not have dared to engage in such an act of annihilating and framing others. Sun Wukong was certain that there were other forces involved beyond the Wing Tribe, and he intended to completely drag out those lurking in the shadows!

No matter who it was, he would not let them go!

In the depths of the Western Sea, the battle between Dragon King Ao Run and the Wing Tribe’s powerhouse had reached a white-hot level. Ao Run unleashed his True Fire, venting all the grievances the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas had suffered over the years on the body of the Wing Tribe’s powerhouse. Each blow stirred up endless waves, its destructive power astonishing.

In contrast, the powerhouse of the Wing Tribe, though also a Half-Step Saint, found his strength greatly suppressed in the deep sea–it was not his home ground. Plus, Dragon King Ao Run was at the peak of his fighting spirit, causing him to be beaten back step by step. Finally, failing to guard properly, Ao Run broke through his defenses with one hammer blow, and immediately followed up with another that struck squarely on the chest.

“Pu!”

A mouthful of blood spurted out and diffused in the seawater, only to be instantly scattered by the chaotic currents. The body of the Wing Tribe’s powerhouse was blasted from the deep sea to the surface.

“Scoundrel, where do you think you’re running!”

Western Sea Dragon King Ao Run rushed out of the sea, stood above the waves, and looking at the Wing Tribe powerhouse with a pale face clutching his chest, he pointed with his dark gold hammer and shouted sternly, “Speak, who sent you here? Was it the Wing Emperor? Why do you attack the Western Sea Dragon Clan under the guise of the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court?”

“Do you think I will tell you?”

The Wing Tribe powerhouse gasped twice. His injuries were not light, but they did not greatly impact his combat power. Suppressing his wounds, he could continue fighting.

“We are no longer in the sea, Old Dragon Ao Run. Once you leave the sea, your strength will greatly diminish. I will return the pain you inflicted earlier tenfold!”

Before he finished speaking, the Wing Tribe powerhouse had suppressed his injuries and charged toward Western Sea Dragon King Ao Run. His spear burst forth thousands of spear lights, stabbing at Ao Run’s body.

“Foolish!”

Western Sea Dragon King Ao Run sneered, and in the next moment, his figure suddenly moved. The spear of the Wing Tribe powerhouse pierced through Ao Run’s chest. The attacker’s face drastically changed as he felt he had struck a mass of seawater.

Sure enough, the next moment, Ao Run’s figure abruptly transformed into a mass of water that fell into the sea, while a strong breeze struck from behind at the Wing Tribe powerhouse’s lower back.

“Not good!”

The Wing Tribe powerhouse was startled, and it was too late to turn around and defend. He could only place his spear behind him to take the hit from Western Sea Dragon King Ao Run. A muffled sound was heard as he was thrown out again, and the wounds he had suppressed suddenly burst open, spewing blood copiously.

“You are mistaken about one thing; our Dragon Clan is not just powerful in the seas; the skies are also our domain!”

Western Sea Dragon King Ao Run’s eyes flashed with a cold glint, and his dark gold hammer wrapped with a powerful destructive force as he charged toward the airborne Wing Tribe powerhouse while sneering, “Die, you mongrel cur!”

Bang!

A loud bang resounded. The deadly hammer blow from Western Sea Dragon King Ao Run did not hit the Wing Tribe powerhouse. Instead, a Buddhist Dharma Seal appeared on his back, catching Ao Run’s hammer.

“A Buddhist Vajra Dharma Seal? Who is it? Show yourself to this king!”

Western Sea Dragon King Ao Run was taken aback, sharply furrowing his brows and bellowing as he looked around.

“Western Sea Dragon King Ao Run! I never expected you to have reached such a level! Quite the act!”

A sound of Buddha-chanting rose, and a figure stepped forward from afar. In just a few steps, he was in front of Western Sea Dragon King Ao Run–it was Ran Deng Buddha. Soon after, figures surrounded by Buddha’s Light also appeared, along with other strong members of the Wing Tribe, including the Wing Emperor.

“Ran Deng Buddha! It’s you! As a former Ancestral Buddha of the Western Heavenly Buddhist Sect, to collude with the Wing Tribe and strive to exterminate my Western Sea Dragon Clan under the false name of the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court! How despicable!”

Western Sea Dragon King Ao Run’s heart sank. Ran Deng Buddha was a genuine Slaying Two Corpses Merit Saint, so was the Wing Emperor, and there were also many Buddhist and Wing Tribe powerhouses present. Today looked grim indeed!
