Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 698: The Dragon Falls and the Corpse Disappears

At the Kunlun Dharma Assembly, those who gained enlightenment were not only the immortals and gods present at the assembly - but also the Daluo who were scattered throughout the heaven and earth and had never come to Kunlun.

After Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun and Taiqing Daode Tianzun both left their seals on the document, the ritual became more heavy and mysterious.

Those countless directions pointing towards the Daluo transformed into countless 'passageways'.

The Daluo who are far away in different corners of the world can leave their marks on this document from a distance. Similarly, through this ritual, they can "see" everything in the Kunlun Dharma Assembly and clearly "comprehend" the mysterious rhythm of the Tao evoked by the three saints' preaching.

Those were the three saints at the Dharma Assembly who 'raised the stakes' in this game.

Although those Daluo missed this Kunlun Dharma Assembly due to their own reasons, the three saints directly used their supreme magical powers to "copy" everything in the Kunlun Dharma Assembly, and "share" it with those Daluo fellows who were willing to rebuild trust together.

Feeling the rhyme of Tao hidden in the documents, the Daluo people in various parts of heaven and earth naturally experienced some changes in their inclinations to participate or not participate, agree or refuse.

Time slowly dissipates among the rhythm of Tao stirred by the saints.

In this situation where the gods are listening and 'the heaven and earth have no master', the situation in the human world is changing extremely turbulently.

In the past, those wise men who only spread their own doctrines, cultivated their own schools, and never participated in the disputes among the princes, went against their norm and met with one prince after another. In front of those princes, they promoted their own ideas and sought their support. The schools and the vassal states were united, and they participated in the disputes among the princes with an extremely positive attitude. In an attitude that ordinary people could hardly imagine, they drastically changed the overall situation of the human race.

It is as if one wants to speed up the birth of something by accelerating the war among the princes.

The Four Rivers, which have extremely close relations with the human world, find it difficult to maintain their original stability amid the turbulent situation of the human race.

Especially the Huai River, which was not stable to begin with.

After Huai Jun's karma was revealed, the immortals and gods of the Huai League became noticeably bolder.

In addition, as they are all "human beings", the mortals around them and the princes also have an instinctive affinity for the Huai League.

As well as some people who wanted to target Ao Bing in secret, they also chose to act through the Huai League.

——With the help of humanity, the gods of the Huai League knew everything about Long Ting’s actions.

No matter what Longting wants to do, the gods of Huaimeng can respond in advance.

When the Dragon Gods of the Dragon Court wanted to take action, they were often hindered by the princes on both sides of the Huai River...

Under such circumstances, when Ao Bing fell into Kunlun and refused to come out, he was at a disadvantage when the dragon gods of the Four Rivers Dragon Court fought with the water gods of the Huai League. He was restricted everywhere.

Frustrated, the dragon gods roared continuously. If Princess Longji had not been suppressing them in the Dragon Court, those dragon gods might have really lost their temper and turned the territories of the lagging princes on both sides of the Huai River into swamps.

However, even with Princess Longji's restraint, it was inevitable that the numerous dragon gods, filled with resentment, would slow down their efforts on water matters targeting the human race and intentionally cause trouble for those mortals.

As a result, the vassal states in the human world, which had already been biased towards the Huai League, naturally became even more repulsive to the Dragon Gods of Longting, making the Dragon Gods of Longting even more struggling in the fight for control over the Huai River.

On both sides of the Huai River, the immortal sects that originally tended to support the Four Rivers Dragon Court and had never joined the Huai League were gradually leaning towards the Huai League under such circumstances.

However, in the Huai River, although the Lord of Huai and the Master of Huai were fighting each other, and the Zhihuai Immortal Alliance and the Four Rivers Dragon Court were fighting each other, they had always maintained a situation of fighting but not breaking.

There were quite a few immortals, gods, and dragon species who died in the battle - but those who were the direct descendants of Taiyi and the true dragons rarely died in the fight.

However, on this day, the situation of fighting but not breaking suddenly changed.

A dragon girl, who was not yet an adult, stepped into the Four Rivers Dragon Court crying and in a very embarrassed manner, holding a dragon head.

In the Dragon Court, the expressions of the old dragons who were still discussing the situation changed.

One of them was especially old dragon named Du Yun - the tables and chairs beside him were directly crushed by the surge of energy.

Because the owner of the dragon head was none other than his most beloved son, Du Heng.

The Huai River is extremely vast, and its water system is divided into countless waters. Each section of water is controlled by the water god of the Huai League or the dragon god of Longting. They fight and infiltrate each other.

Du Yun is the ruler of the Qimen waters in the Huai River.

It is said that true dragons are romantic and unrestrained, and naturally they are no exception, and they have many descendants.

Among his many sons and daughters, Du Heng was the most favored one.

Because Du Heng's bloodline is the purest among the true dragons, he is one of the rare true dragons that may be able to touch the celestial dragon.

Therefore, Du Yun has always intended to hand over the Qimen waters under his jurisdiction to Du Heng, hoping to use the rising and continuous power of the waters to help Du Heng cross the divine gate leading to Tianlong.

However, Du Yun had many descendants. In the past, his other descendants worked with him to regulate the water veins of the Huai River. Each of them had made meritorious contributions, and they all had their own connections and the support of the water tribe. In order for Du Heng to smoothly take over the authority of the Qimen waters, Du Yun also consciously let Du Heng participate in various affairs of the Qimen waters, especially after the dispute between Longting and Huaimeng. In the Qimen waters, the disputes between the water tribe and the human race were often regulated by Du Heng, and as an envoy, he traveled between the two sides, and together with the Yueshan water god upstream of Qimen, he controlled the intensity of the fight between them.

But now, they are all dead.

And its head was right in front of them.

"My son... my son..." Du Yun Laolong's body began to tremble, and he could not suppress his sadness.

All the events of the past emerged in his mind.

He took Du Heng's head. His eyes were wide open. There was no pain of the coming of death in his eyes, only full of disbelief.

"Zhu'er, how did your father die?" After a long time, Du Yun asked slowly.

Then, the dragon girl named Zhu'er stopped crying and talked about what happened before.

A river patrol envoy in the Qimen River area had a conflict with the water god of the Yueshan water area upstream because of aquatic creatures. In addition, it was also related to some human beings hunting aquatic creatures. In the water area, such conflicts are numerous and it is impossible to tell who is right or wrong. Therefore, Du Heng went to the Yueshan water area in person to discuss the matter with the people there.

Then on the way back, a sword light fell from the sky and cut off Du Heng's head.

——As the most valued offspring of Taiyi Dragon Lord Du Yun, Du Heng naturally has no shortage of magical weapons to protect himself.

However, that sword was truly terrifying.

With one sword strike, all the magic weapons on Du Heng's body were shattered - even the guards, maids, etc. who were with Du Heng were all killed by the sword.

Only this dragon girl named Zhu'er was saved by Du Heng, and then she was driven by murderous intent and brought Du Heng's head all the way to the Sidu Dragon Court. "Brother Du Yun, now is not the time to be sad. Let's go to the place where Du Heng fell, collect his body, and then look for the murderer."

"A true dragon died for no reason, there must be an explanation." Another tall dragon king stood up, patted Du Yun on the shoulder, then made a calming seal and pointed it at the dragon girl's brow.

"Zhu'er, where is the place where Duheng fell?"

Then the three Taiyi Dragon Gods immediately stood up, carrying Du Heng's head, and went to the place where he fell - this place was not an ordinary body of water, but a human royal city.

There was a vassal state between the Huai River and Xiao Cai. Its capital was on the bank of the Huai River, with half of it located in the Qimen area and the other half in the Yueshan area.

Du Heng was attacked in the capital of Xiao Cai State - his body naturally also fell in the capital of Xiao Cai State.

However, when Du Yun and the others came over, the body below Du Heng's head had disappeared from the royal capital - only traces of damage remained in the palace.

"Brother Du Yun, you have arrived at the right time." Before Du Yun and his companions entered the royal city, the water god of the Yueshan waters, Zhang Mingjun, had already appeared at the junction of the Yueshan waters and the Qimen waters.

"Just now, the ruler of Xiao Cai burned incense to report that the water tribe in Qimen attacked the royal palace, causing damage to it."

"Although there is a conflict between Xiao Cai's country and Qimen Dragon Palace, Brother Dao attacked the royal palace, aren't you afraid of the strict rules of heaven?"

It seemed as if Lord Zhangming had found some fault with Du Yun.

"If there is any damage to the residences of the princes on earth, my Qimen Dragon Palace will compensate for it."

"But before that, please return my son's body first." Du Yunlongshen said in a low voice.

It was at this time that Lord Zhangming discovered the head that Duyun Dragon God was holding in his arms.

Then the expression on his face suddenly became distorted - of course he recognized Du Heng.

Although Du Heng at this time showed his dragon head instead of human head, he also clearly recognized Du Heng's identity.

"My tribe, Du Heng, was attacked here when returning from Yue Mountain. Only one head of our tribe survived and fell into the Huai River."

"Even though Du Heng offended fellow Taoists when he went to Yueshan to pay homage, his crime is not serious enough to kill him head and body."

"I hope fellow Taoist will return Du Heng's corpse." The tall dragon god next to Du Yun Dragon God spoke.

Hearing this, Yueshan Water God Zhangmingjun also glanced towards the royal capital - there was no body of Du Heng in the royal capital.

Not to mention the corpse, even the blood and energy left by the corpse was gone.

This is something that no mortal can ever do.

Only immortals and gods can do this.

In an instant, the Taiyi Water God broke out in a cold sweat.

Let’s not discuss for now who killed Du Heng - but now, the Dragon Gods of Dragon Court want him to hand over Du Heng’s body.

Where could he conjure up a real dragon's corpse?

"Brothers, there may be some misunderstanding about this matter."

"How about we ask the Lord of Xiao Cai first?" Lord Zhangming said as he casually made a seal to contact the other Taiyi Immortals of the Huai League.

"The dragon clan does not approach the courts of princes." The tall dragon god had a stern expression.

The dragon clan does not approach the courts of princes and kings. This is the rule passed down by the dragon clan after the deification.

Especially in the Four Rivers Dragon Court, this is an iron rule - the flesh and blood of the real dragon, and the qi and veins of the human king, are inexplicably entangled.

Although Ao Bing had once made a contract with the King of Ji Zhou that humans could not use the blood and flesh of a real dragon to cultivate the King's qi, the blood and flesh of a real dragon still had a certain temptation to those princes.

Especially in this era of great strife where the authority of human kings has been lost.

Under such circumstances, if the real dragon still hangs around in front of those princes, wouldn't it be tantamount to asking for himself to be torn out and skinned?

Hearing the defensive tone in the tall dragon god's words, Lord Zhangming also sighed in his heart.

Obviously, the dragon god in front of him was already suspicious about the whereabouts of He Duheng's flesh and blood - he was even suspecting that it was the people of their Zhihuai Immortal Alliance who conspired with the princes along the Huai River to obtain the real dragon's flesh and blood and strengthen the human king's aura, in order to give birth to a human king on the banks of the Huai River.

But God has mercy on him, Du Heng’s death really had nothing to do with him.

The Huai League and Long Ting were at odds, and these water gods were at the forefront of the fight - if you were to ask who in the Huai League did not want the dispute to escalate, then these water gods would definitely be that 'someone'.

For these water gods, they have no intention of "expanding" at all. Their greatest wish is to maintain the current situation and finally gain the "recognition" of the Four Great Dragon Gods.

In such a situation, the most they could do was to find some faults of the Dragon Gods in the Dragon Court, create trouble for them, and catch them by the braids - these water gods were absolutely unwilling to start a full-scale war.

Not to mention conspiring with the princes of the human world to kill the real dragon in order to replenish the energy of the human king.

——If this matter is really involved, then it will not only be a dispute with the Four Rivers Dragon Court, but all the true dragons between heaven and earth will be involved in this storm.

Before he knew it, the Yue Mountain and Water God had already stepped into the capital of the Kingdom of Xiao Cai.

However, as to the whereabouts of the dragon skeleton, the prince's response was that after the dragon skeleton fell, it was taken away by the immortal gods who came from the Yueshan waters!

After hearing these words, Zhang Mingjun, a water god at the Taiyi level, felt his legs go weak and he couldn't even stand steadily.

He sent people to take away Du Heng's body?
What a joke!
He only now knew that Du Heng was attacked and killed here. How could he send someone to take away Du Heng's body?

"Three Taoist brothers, please give me two more days."

"Within two days, even if I have to search the entire Yueshan waters, I will definitely give you three Taoist brothers an explanation."
