Zhao Guang's hands were shaking as he helped Premier Xia up.
He had been loyal to Zhao Haoran and the East Ocean Dragon Clan since Zhao Haoran's time. He had witnessed Zi's birth and growth. Although Zi didn't come back to the East Ocean Dragon Clan often, he was like an old man guarding his hometown, looking forward to Zi's return and taking good care of her.
Living with Zhao Guang, Zhao Yanzi couldn't understand Premier Xia's caring attitude. Even Zhao Guang had slightly neglected this diligent and earnest old official.
Premier Xia could unleash the power of a Heavenly Dragon, but he wasn't at the Heavenly Dragon Realm.
The moment he opened the seal, he already knew what would happen to him. The former dragon king, Zhao Haoran, left the East Ocean Dragon Clan. His purpose of living in the East Ocean Dragon Clan was to help the East Ocean Dragon Clan survive a disaster.
Zhao Haoran was a great ruler. When he handed the East Ocean Dragon Clan over to Zhao Guang, he had predicted all the dangers that the East Ocean Dragon Clan might encounter.
Premier Xia could unleash the power of a Heavenly Dragon, but he couldn't use it unless the East Ocean Dragon Clan was in a life-and-death situation or when the forbidden land of the East Ocean Dragon Clan was broken.
Even if the East Ocean Dragon Clan and the West Ocean Dragon Clan became enemies, Premier Xia had to hide his power.
This was the loyalty of Premier Xia, an old official, and the agreement between Zhao Haoran and him. This was the day that Premier Xia had been waiting for, from a handsome man to a frail old man.
After hundreds of years of loneliness, he had waited for this day. The bright spot in his gloomy life was the lively Zhao Yanzi growing up little by little. Every time Zhao Yanzi returned to the East Ocean Dragon Palace, she looked taller and prettier in Premier Xia's eyes.
The happiest time of his life was when he was in East Ocean City. It was the first time he left the East Ocean Dragon Palace, the first time he came to the land, and the first time he saw the prosperity of the city.
After that, he didn't dare to leave the East Ocean Dragon Palace even though Zhao Guang and Hao Ren asked him to go to the city often.
Having seen the land, he was already satisfied. He wanted to stay in the East Ocean Dragon Palace to guard against powerful enemies that could destroy the East Ocean Dragon Palace.
"Sigh …" Zhao Hongyu looked at Premier Xia with a sad face and let out a long sigh.
She thought back to the day when she and Zhao Guang got married. Premier Xia, who was in charge of the internal affairs of the Dragon Palace, was very busy. He was both a manager and a senior.
However, Premier Xia's meridians were all broken, and it seemed like he wouldn't survive.
"Premier Xia!"
Hao Ren's crisp voice suddenly came from above.
Zhao Hongyu looked up and saw Hao Ren rushing over with Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi.
"Grandpa Xia …" Zhao Yanzi froze for half a second when she saw Premier Xia's dark face and the absence of his hunchback. Then, she immediately landed beside Premier Xia.
In the Dragon God Shrine, Hao Ren used his nature essence to stabilize Su Han, and the three elixir pills began to take effect. Then, the nine Deputy Shrine Masters hurried to bring Su Han into the Dragon God Shrine to heal.
Seeing that Su Han didn't wake up, Hao Ren was worried about the East Ocean Dragon Palace. Therefore, he immediately flew toward the East Ocean Dragon Palace with Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia.
Xie Yujia had wanted to stay with Su Han in the Dragon God Shrine, but she thought that she might be able to help the East Ocean Dragon Palace. That was why she followed Hao Ren.
When they arrived at the back mountain, they were one step too late. The devil essence that contained Xu Ke's remnant soul had already escaped.
"Zi … Princess …" Seeing Zhao Yanzi, Premier Xia's gloomy face turned a little red, and he looked pleased.
"Grandpa Xia …" Zhao Yanzi's tears flowed down.
She didn't have a deep relationship with Premier Xia, but every time she returned to the Dragon Palace, Premier Xia would take good care of her. He was a very good senior. Zhao Yanzi looked stubborn, but she was actually very soft-hearted. Seeing Premier Xia like this, she couldn't hold back her tears.
Seeing the pale faces of the elders beside Zhao Guang, Xie Yujia knew that they were all poisoned by the devil essence. She immediately distributed antidote pills to them.
Right now, the highest level of elixir pills she could make was level 6, and she had many level 5 elixir pills in her storage bracelet.
The elders who were holding on with nature essence swallowed the level 5 antidote pills as if they had received the most precious treasures. Soon, the devil essence in their bodies began to fade.
Level 5 elixir pills were rare in this world. They could almost be called immortal elixir pills, and they could even bring the dead back to life.
If the elders of the East Ocean Dragon Palace hadn't taken the godly elixir pills from the Nine Dragon Palace, which greatly strengthened their physiques, none of them would have survived the devil essence.
Seeing Premier Xia's weak body, Xie Yujia wanted to save him. However, she had already given her level 6 elixir pills to Su Han, and it seemed like level 5 elixir pills wouldn't be able to save him.
"Gongzi Hao … Take care of … Princess Zi …" Premier Xia looked at Hao Ren and said slowly.
Hao Ren held his hands and tried to inject nature essence into Premier Xia's body, but he found that all the meridians in Premier Xia's body were broken.
Premier Xia was a peak Qian-level master, and he had suppressed his cultivation strength for hundreds of years with the hidden Vital Yang Sword on his back. Today, he suddenly released the power of the Heavenly Dragon, but the consequence was that all the meridians in Premier Xia's body were broken.
"Grandpa Xia, don't die! Don't die …" Zhao Yanzi finally realized how much Premier Xia loved her. She held onto Premier Xia's wrist and cried.
"Let me try!"
Seeing everyone's sad faces, Xie Yujia walked up and placed her hand on Premier Xia's forehead before injecting more than a dozen Life-Death Notes into his body.
The Life-Death Notes were named after life and death. They controlled life and death and controlled life and death.
The Life Notes extracted the vitality of nature, and the Death Notes used the murderous spirit of nature.
More than a dozen Life-Death Notes entered Premier Xia's body. The silver Death Notes dispelled the black devil essence in Premier Xia's body while the golden Life Notes absorbed the endless nature essence.
Premier Xia suddenly felt that the meridians in his body were slowly recovering!
His face turned ruddy, while Xie Yujia's face turned pale.
Xie Yujia had never tried this kind of dharma note technique before. She could control the life and death of a cultivator by injecting the Life-Death Notes into their body.
This was a very powerful technique, and only Qingfeng Hermit could use it freely. Because of this, the Soul Formation Realm cultivators didn't dare to mess with her.
If Qingfeng Hermit injected dozens of Life-Death Notes into his body, his life and death would be under her control!
"Yujia!"
Seeing Xie Yujia's pale face, Hao Ren immediately grabbed her left hand and injected nature essence into it.
His five-elemental cultivation technique was similar to Xie Yujia's Life-Death Notes. However, Xie Yujia's cultivation technique was more advanced than Hao Ren's Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, which was more compatible with the Yin and Yang of nature.
Zhao Guang, Zhao Hongyu, and the other elders of the dragon palace were surprised to see Premier Xia's condition recovering bit by bit.
Bang!
Xie Yujia suddenly moved her right hand away from Premier Xia's forehead. This was the limit of what her Life-Death Notes could do.
"Thank you, Gongzi Hao and Ms. Xie, for saving my life …" Premier Xia cupped his hands and was about to kneel.
Hao Ren pulled Xie Yujia who was weak and hurried to support Premier Xia.
Seeing Xie Yujia's swaying body, Zhao Yanzi hurried to hold Xie Yujia's shoulder and support her.
"Premier Xia, I'm glad you're safe …" Zhao Guang heaved a sigh of relief. "Go to the dragon palace and rest."
"Dragon King, I came back from the dead, but I have a request," Premier Xia struggled to stand up and said.
"Premier, please speak." Zhao Guang looked at Premier Xia seriously.
Premier Xia hesitated for a few seconds and said, "My dragon core is broken. Even if I can live, I'll be a mortal. I'm afraid I can't be the Premier of the dragon palace anymore. I want to … try to be a mortal. "
Zhao Guang nodded. "Elder Lu and Elder Sun both have high statuses in East Ocean City. Then …"
"I … just want to be an ordinary mortal," Premier Xia said immediately.
Zhao Guang looked at him and understood what he meant.
After working in the East Ocean Dragon Palace for 700 to 800 years, Premier Xia was really tired. Now that Zhao Haoran had passed away, he had completed his duty, and he didn't want to be involved in the dragon palace anymore.
"Elder Lu, please take the Premier to the land," Zhao Guang sighed slightly and said.
"Thank you, Dragon King." Premier Xia cupped his hands at Zhao Guang and then turned to Hao Ren and Xie Yujia. "Thank you, Gongzi Hao and Ms. Xie."
He was finally going to the land to be a real mortal, and he would never return to the East Ocean Dragon Palace. Of course, he would never tell anyone about the East Ocean Dragon Palace.
With the elixir pills in the dragon palace, he could return to his appearance when he was in his 30s. He might have his own grandchildren, but they wouldn't know that his grandpa was once the Premier of the East Ocean Dragon Palace and a master who instantly possessed the strength of a Heavenly Dragon.
Hao Ren watched Premier Xia walk into the depths of the dragon palace with Lu Qing in silence as if he were a tired old man leaving the company where he had worked for dozens of years.
Suddenly, Hao Ren shivered as he thought of his grandma.
Taiyi Cave Master could gather all kinds of information. Since the metal-elemental dragon cultivators could find his seaside house, Taiyi Cave Master must know about his family's situation!
Hao Ren had rushed to the bottom of the ocean when he saw the rolling ocean tides near the East Ocean Dragon Palace, but he didn't expect that Taiyi Cave Master would come to his home!
Boom!
Hao Ren flew up on a sword energy.
Taiyi Cave Master had suddenly attacked Su Han when she was going through the Heavenly Tribulation, messing up the Dragon God Shrine and almost destroying the East Ocean Dragon Palace. Hao Ren had to save Su Han and the elders of the East Ocean Dragon Palace, but he had almost forgotten his grandma and parents who had nothing to do with cultivators!
Ordinary dragon cultivators wouldn't attack mortals no matter how fierce they fought. However, the devil dragon that Taiyi Cave Master had turned into was beyond the control of the Dragon God Shrine!
In Hao Ren's mind, his parents and grandma were mortals and had nothing to do with this circle. That was why he almost forgot about them!
Hua …
Hao Ren dashed out of the ocean and immediately flew toward the seaside house area.
All the floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor of his house were broken! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
