Venerable Liu Nian followed Mo Yike and Binghime to Heavenly Courts. Gu Hai stayed in Silver Moon City for two days before bringing Mu Chenfeng to the airship. With Mu Chenfeng and the other Wood Branch disciples leading the way, they headed for Heavenly Courts.
Heavenly Courts, in a huge plaza.
A large number of soldiers were stationed around the plaza, with giant dragons circling above. This was one of the garrisons of Heavenly Courts' Dragon Tribe. It was called the Dragon Chen Hall.
No one was allowed to approach the Dragon Chen Hall. Even the Da Qian officials were not allowed to approach without permission. The might of the dragon was limitless. The Da Qian's national beast looked down on the world.
At this moment, a man in white was standing outside the Dragon Chen Hall, quietly looking at the majestic palaces in front of him.
This man was none other than the former Dragon Crown Prince who had been imprisoned in the Han Dynasty, Ao Shun.
"Dragon Chen Hall? Heh, I'm back! "Ao Shun smiled.
"Halt!" Immediately, a large number of soldiers blocked Ao Shun's path.
"Who are you? How dare you barge into the Dragon Chen Hall? "A soldier glared at him.
"Oh? Look at his forehead. There's a sinful mark. He's a sinful dragon! "Another soldier exclaimed.
"Insolent sinful dragon. How dare you leave your post and return to Heavenly Courts? Are you tired of living? Quick, inform the Dragon Tribe. "The soldiers glared at him.
"Oh, isn't this the Crown Prince?" Suddenly, a voice rang out.
It was a man in armor who suddenly flew over.
"Commander Chen, this sinful dragon wants to barge into the Dragon Chen Hall, so …!" The soldiers cried out.
Commander Chen smiled. "This is the Dragon Tribe's Crown Prince. Don't you recognize him?"
"Ah?" The soldiers' expressions changed.
"The Dragon Tribe's Crown Prince? Isn't that Crown Prince Ao Sheng? How …! "The soldiers looked at Ao Shun in shock.
"Yes, that's Crown Prince Ao Sheng. But this is the previous Crown Prince. It's a pity that he was stripped of his position and became a sinful dragon! Isn't that right, Crown Prince Ao Shun? "Commander Chen sneered.
If it were in the past, Ao Shun would have been enraged already. However, after being imprisoned in the Han Royal Dynasty for so many years, Ao Shun's temper had improved significantly. He smiled faintly and did not think much of it.
"You recognize me?" Ao Shun smiled.
"Why don't I recognize you? Oh, right, Crown Prince Ao Shun definitely doesn't recognize me. In your eyes, I'm just an insignificant ant. I remember when Crown Prince Ao Shun led the Dragon Tribe's army to the West. When he returned, his shoes were dirty. At that time, he stepped on my head and wiped the dirt off his shoes. Hahahaha, what about now? I'm already one of the Dragon Chen Hall's guards. And you? A sinful dragon, a prisoner, and even followed the traitor Lüyang Of Gojoseon. Hahaha, you still dare to come back? "Commander Chen sneered.
Ao Shun smiled. "Go, tell my brother that I'm back!"
"Hahahaha, tell Crown Prince Ao Sheng, who do you think you are? You think you can see whoever you want? You're a sinful dragon of the Dragon Tribe, and also a disgrace to the Dragon Tribe. I heard that you were stupid enough to lead the Dragon Tribe to your death in the Thousand Islands Sea. You were tricked and sealed your cultivation? Hahahaha, do you know? You've disgraced the Dragon Tribe. You can't see any dragon of the Dragon Tribe as you please. You want to see the crown prince? That's right, this used to be your temporary residence, but now it belongs to Crown Prince Ao Sheng, "Commander Chen sneered.
"A disgrace to the Dragon Tribe? Ha, perhaps. Alright, go and tell him! "Ao Shun didn't feel humiliated by the ridicule. Instead, he smiled and said again.
More and more people gathered around Ao Shun. Suddenly, a giant dragon circling in the sky seemed to notice the commotion and flew over.
"What's going on?" The giant dragon shouted coldly.
Commander Chen immediately turned and shouted, "Crown Prince Lin, it's this sinful dragon Ao Shun. He disobeyed the imperial order and came to Heavenly Courts without permission. He even said that he wanted to see the crown prince. I'm just teaching him a lesson!"
"Sinful dragon Ao Shun?" The giant dragon was startled. He looked at the white-robed man in the center of the crowd, Ao Shun.
The moment he saw Ao Shun, Crown Prince Lin's expression changed.
"Crown Prince, Crown Prince, you're back!" Crown Prince Lin said excitedly.
Ao Shun smiled faintly and nodded.
"Crown Prince Lin, he's a sinful dragon, a sinful dragon! Because of him, many dragons of the Dragon Clan had died. He's going to be sent to prison for coming to the capital without permission. "Commander Chen's heart skipped a beat.
"F * ck off!" Crown Prince Lin cursed.
Commander Chen's expression changed.
"Father, Uncle Gen, the crown prince is back. Crown Prince Ao Shun is back!" Crown Prince Lin turned and shouted at the Dragon Star Hall.
"Rumble!"
Around the Dragon Star Hall, almost all the dragons roared and rushed into the sky.
"Little Lin, what did you say?"
"Little Lin, how dare you lie to me. I'm going to kill you!"
"Crown Prince Ao Shun is back? Is that true? "
… … …
… … … …
… … …
In an instant, the dragons around the Dragon Star Hall were in a frenzy. They rushed into the sky and flew toward Ao Shun.
Commander Chen's expression changed. "What? Isn't he the disgrace of the Dragon Race? "
Inside the Dragon Star Hall:
At this moment, Crown Prince Ao Shun sat before his desk, using a brush to review some of the Dragon Race's administrative matters.
"Your Highness, you are so diligent. The Dragon Race now trusts you," a subordinate at the side said with a smile.
"Perhaps. The Dragon Race's obsession with my big brother is too deep!" Crown Prince Ao Shun said with a bitter smile.
"No, Ao Shun? Betraying the Dragon Race and allying with the Lüyang Of Gojoseon is already one of his crimes. Furthermore, he left such a disgrace to the Dragon Race on Nine-Five Island. The entire Dragon Race should be bitterly disappointed. The Dragon Race's crown prince should only recognize you now. You have already surpassed him. Don't you see? Every time you return, half of the Dragon Race comes to welcome you. Sometimes, one or two elders even come personally. This is the Dragon Race's acknowledgment of the crown prince, growing more and more! "that subordinate said with a smile.
Another subordinate at the side smiled and said, "That's right. Your Highness, this old servant remembers that when you first became the crown prince, almost no Dragon Race came to welcome you every time you returned. Now, with the crown prince's diligence, more and more Dragon Race members are convinced. Half of the Dragon Race came to welcome you. Back then, even Ao Shun might not have such support!"
When his subordinates praised Ao Shun, Ao Shun revealed a smug smile. Although he did not say anything, he felt very happy in his heart.
Just at this moment, a shout suddenly rang out from outside the hall. "Father, Uncle Gen, the crown prince is back. Crown Prince Ao Shun is back!"
Crown Prince Lin's shout made Ao Shun, who was holding a brush, pause, and his face sank.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"
Many large dragons soared into the sky outside and gave off loud cries.
"Where is he? Where is Crown Prince Ao Shun? "
"Little Lin, you lied to me. I'll kill you!"
…
…
…
Excited voices rang out from all around the palace complex as one giant dragon after another flew into the distance.
In Ao Shun's study, the expressions of his subordinates changed.
"Ah? That's Elder Gen's voice. Isn't Elder Gen in seclusion? He would never come out from his seclusion unless a Supreme Being came. Why …? "
"Is that Elder Lin's voice? Didn't Ao Shun betray him at the Silver Moon Sea? Why is his voice still so excited? "
"Are they all crazy? Almost all the Dragon Race members are out? How is this possible? "
…
…
…
Anxious voices rang out outside the hall. Crown Prince Ao Shun's subordinates lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
They just said that half of the Dragon Race would welcome Ao Shun when he returned. Now that Crown Prince Ao Shun was back, almost all the Dragon Race members were out?
Wasn't he the disgrace of the Dragon Race?
Why were the Dragon Race still so supportive of Ao Shun?
Smack!
In the study, the brush in Ao Shun's hand made a crisp sound. Ao Shun, who had a gloomy expression, subconsciously broke it.
In the outside world …
Commander Chen's jaw dropped as he stared at the dragons roaring toward him in astonishment.
Many of the Dragon Race members would not come out to welcome Crown Prince Ao Shun. Why were they so excited when they heard that Ao Shun was back?
That expression? Why was this happening?
Wasn't Ao Shun the disgrace of the Dragon Race? He was a sinful dragon, not the Crown Prince. Why were they still so supportive?
Crown Prince Lin had already turned into his human form. He walked to Ao Shun excitedly.
"Crown Prince, you are finally back. Little Lin has been waiting for a long time!" Crown Prince Lin said excitedly.
Ao Shun smiled bitterly and said, "I am no longer the Crown Prince. You can just call me Brother Shun!"
"No, in my heart, you will always be the Crown Prince. You will always be the Crown Prince!" Crown Prince Lin said incoherently.
"Crown Prince! Crown Prince! You are back!"
"Crown Prince! I am Little Dong 'zi, the Crown Prince!"
…
…
…
The group of Dragon Race members excitedly turned into human forms and rushed over.
The group of soldiers that had blocked the way immediately shrank back and quietly retreated with ashen faces.
Aside from the younger generation of Dragon Race members, there were also a group of Dragon Race elders.
This was especially so for Uncle Gen, Uncle Lin, and the others who appeared at Nine-Five Island. The group of elders saw Ao Shun's white robes.
"Why do I feel that Crown Prince Ao Shun looks like he has been washed clean?"
"Me too. It feels like Crown Prince Ao Shun has been reborn!"
…
…
…
The group of elders smiled as they flew over. However, the younger generation of Dragon Race members had already surrounded Ao Shun. The group of elders smiled and did not approach.
"Crown Prince, why are you not going in? Come, let's go in. We have kept your place for you. No one dares to touch it. We just waited for you to return!"
"That's right. Crown Prince, let's go. Let's go in!"
…
…
…
The group of Dragon Race members surrounded Ao Shun.
Ao Shun smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to step into the square with the group, Ao Shun suddenly smiled. "My shoes seem to be dirty again?"
"Huh?" The group of Dragon Race members were slightly stunned.
Ao Shun looked at Commander Chen.
Crown Prince Lin immediately flew into a rage. "Bastard, are you courting death? How dare you make things difficult for the Crown Prince? "
Although Crown Prince Lin did not know what had happened, he could roughly guess what had happened. He immediately looked at Commander Chen angrily.
"You are courting death!"
"You are courting death!"
…
…
…
The group of Dragon Race members immediately glared at Commander Chen.
"This lowly one knows his mistake. This lowly one knows his mistake. Crown Prince, I-I'll be your stool!" Commander Chen crawled over in fear and lowered his head. He wanted Ao Shun to step on his head and wipe the mud off his shoes like he did in the past.
He looked at the trembling Commander Chen kneeling in front of him. Ao Shun did not step on him. Instead, he smiled and said, "Forget it, I won't step on you this time. I'm just giving you a reminder. Any grudges of the Dragon Race are not for an outsider like you to interfere!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Commander Chen lowered his head in horror.
"Let's go!" Ao Shun smiled as the group of Dragon Race members swarmed into the depths of the square.
"Hmph!" The group of Dragon Race members snorted coldly at Commander Chen.
The group of Dragon Race juniors listened to Ao Shun's orders, while the group of Dragon Race elders looked at each other.
"Ao Shun doesn't have the same arrogance as before?"
"No, I feel that Ao Shun's arrogance is even sharper!"
"Oh?"
…
…
The group of Dragon Race elders watched in amazement as Ao Shun dealt with the grudge just now. Arrogance, he was still so arrogant. It was just that he was not as reckless as before.
The group of Dragon Race members left. Commander Chen lay on the ground trembling for a while before he caught his breath.
At this moment, another Commander walked over. "Little Chen, are you crazy? How dare you find trouble with Crown Prince Ao Shun? If it were Crown Prince Ao Shun's past temper, you would have died long ago! "
Commander Chen said bitterly, "I, how could I have thought of that? Isn't he the disgrace of the Dragon Race? "
"Disgrace my ass. What do you know? Do you know Crown Prince Ao Shun's past? He is the pride of the entire Dragon Race. Next time, keep your eyes open. Don't court death and implicate us! "The Commander said coldly.
Commander Chen's face stiffened.
On the other side, in the Dragon Race Hall.
"Let's go and welcome my big brother!" Crown Prince Ao Sheng took a deep breath and said.
Kuang!
The door of the Dragon Race Hall opened. Ao Sheng stepped out of the Dragon Race Hall and immediately saw that almost all the Dragon Race members in the distance were enthusiastically surrounding Ao Shun.
