"Well, the Heavenly Court needs to mobilize enough experts to hold the fort and cut off the connection between the Jade Mystic Heavenly Court and the East Sea Dragon Palace. At least, they won't dare to act rashly."
Ao Tong revealed his intentions. "The Dragon Tomb is already extremely dangerous. Now, the East Sea Dragon Palace sent by the Jade Mystic Heavenly Court has intervened. Alchemy Sage Dongfang is very powerful, but unfortunately, he's only in the Mystic Immortal Realm. Even if he has a rare treasure to protect him, it's inevitable that he will be distracted when retrieving the Ksitigarbha Three Yin Water. It's too dangerous. I'm not completely against it. After all, this mission is too important. We have to succeed in one go. Otherwise, even if Alchemy Sage Dongfang manages to preserve his life, he won't be able to maintain the Ksitigarbha Three Yin Water's spirituality if he's injured. The mission might still fail. "
"Senior, the Dragon King's words make sense." Mu Xia carefully glanced at Cave Master Rong Xu, whose expression was constantly changing. The Dragon Tomb alone was dangerous enough. Now, there was the East Sea Dragon Palace, who was determined to kill him. Even if Lu Xiaotian had the Gan Wind Five Spirit Diagram, it wouldn't be that safe in such a situation.
"Since the Heavenly Court sent our young friend Dongfang to retrieve the Ksitigarbha Three Yin Water, they must have considered his safety." Cave Master Rong Xu didn't directly deny it, but the situation in front of him made him uncertain. Although Ao Tong was selfish and didn't dare to take too much risk, the other party's worries weren't unreasonable. Ao Tong was only worried that the Heavenly Court might hold the East Sea Dragon Palace accountable if something bad happened.
In such a situation, the other party would naturally try their best to prevent Lu Xiaotian from entering the Dragon Tomb. Even if they did, Ao Tong had already stopped them. Even if something happened, Ao Tong's responsibility would be reduced.
"I'll think about it again. Thank you for your hospitality today, Dragon King." Cave Master Rong Xu couldn't make up his mind at that moment, so he shifted his attention to the delicacies in front of him.
"Exalted Immortal, you're too polite. You're the Heavenly Emperor's messenger. The Dragon Palace naturally has to be a good host." The old Dragon King laughed.
The East Sea Dragon Palace used self-deprecation to reduce the Heavenly Court's wariness. However, after generations of inheritance, the Dragon Clan had indeed continued this extravagant habit. In the pursuit of enjoyment, even Cave Master Rong Xu found it difficult to refuse the delicious wine and delicacies before him that did not require him to pay any price.
Mu Xia. Nie Tianhou glanced at Lu Xiaotian and found that Lu Xiaotian wasn't worried about the rest of the trip at all. He drank to his heart's content. This Frost Green Mystic Wine was not much inferior to his Clear Jade Immortal Brew, and had a different flavor. The old dragon king had spent a lot of effort to entertain Cave Master Rong Xu.
Lu Xiaotian did not find this to be an exception. After all, a Golden Immortal at Cave Master Rong Xu's level would not come to the East Sea Dragon Palace unless there was something special. It was understandable that the Dragon King of the East Sea, Ao Tong, wanted to use this opportunity to build a good relationship with him.
"Aren't you worried at all?" Mu Xia couldn't help but grumble at Lu Xiaotian, "Eat, eat, eat. Be careful that you don't come out alive."
"Let's get drunk today. The Dragon King has been so generous with his hospitality. How can I let the Dragon King down? As for whether or not to go to the Dragon Tomb, it's not entirely up to me. In that case, why bother with the hollow?"
Lu Xiaotian shook his head and smiled. The Ksitigarbha Triple Yin Water was related to Xue Daoyuan. If he had Mu Xia's status, the Heavenly Court would not have let him take such a risk.
However, he had no background. Even if Daoist Yi Hua, Cave Master Rong Xu, and the others praised him, as long as there was a chance to save Xue Daoyuan, a Golden Immortal, they would not reject it. It was the same even if his potential was higher than the average person. After all, if he wanted to fight for a high position without enough background, he could only put in more effort in other aspects. Otherwise, why would the Heavenly Court let him be in a high position, and why would Lu Xiaotian earn more resources in the Heavenly Court?
In short, if he wanted to get more, Lu Xiaotian had to put in some effort. The immortals in the Heavenly Court, as well as the Golden Immortals like Cave Master Rong Xu, had all walked through countless dangers.
Lu Xiaotian would not deliberately choose a dangerous place to enter, unless there was something he needed in the dangerous place, or he had no other choice. The dragon tomb now was between the two for Lu Xiaotian.
It was not because of the dangers in the dragon tomb. After all, Lu Xiaotian's strength was not inferior to other Divine Immortal experts with the Gan Wind Five Spirit Diagram. What Lu Xiaotian was really afraid of was the Dragon King of the East Sea and Cave Master Rong Xu. Besides, he did not know if there were other Golden Immortal experts in the East Sea Dragon Palace. The dragon tomb was a completely unknown existence to Lu Xiaotian. The danger was that if Lu Xiaotian revealed his dragon aura, it would lead to irreparable consequences.
When that happened, Cave Master Rong Xu, who had protected him all the way here and was close to the Golden Immortal level, would be the first to capture him. Even if he released the Black Dragon's Dragon Pearl, he might not be a match for this person.
"Little friend Dongfang, you're quite carefree. I'm relieved to have such an attitude. If you're really timid, it'll be easy for the dragon aura in the dragon tomb to take advantage of you," Cave Master Rong Xu said with a smile.
"I'm just saying. Senior, please don't take it seriously. If the Heavenly Court doesn't have other means to protect me, I'll have to think twice." Lu Xiaotian looked at Cave Master Rong Xu and said, "I'm sure you have other instructions for me this time."
"Let's talk about this later." Cave Master Rong Xu nodded and looked at Ao Tong, "The East Sea Dragon Palace used to be known as the leader of the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas. The Dragon King is also very resourceful. I'm sure the disciples you've trained are not to be underestimated. I'll have to trouble the Dragon King to invite them over for a banquet."
"Alright, I'll ask the Exalted Immortal to give some pointers to my good-for-nothing juniors. Exalted Immortal, please choose a few to accompany you to protect Pill Sage Dongfang, "Ao Tong nodded, understanding the meaning behind Cave Master Rong Xu's words. Lu Xiaotian's trip to the dragon tomb this time was probably a foregone conclusion. The only thing Ao Tong could do now was to shirk his responsibilities as much as possible. If he listened to the Heavenly Court's arrangements, if something happened in the end, he would be blamed less.
"The Celestial Emperor has always placed great importance on the Dragon King. The dragon tomb is a forbidden area of the dragon race. It's not convenient for outsiders to enter, and they lack sufficient understanding of it. Pill Sage Dongfang is determined to win this trip. I hope the Dragon King will not be stingy with your guidance." Ao Tong wanted to shrink back, but Cave Master Rong Xu would not let him have his way.
Ao Tong's eyes flashed slightly. He instructed a turtle-backed elder beside him who emitted dragon aura. The elder nodded and turned to leave. A moment later, ten dragon men and women entered in a single file. The men's majestic aura was condensed like a mountain, while the women's beauty did not lose their heroic spirit.
"Greetings, Senior! Dragon King! "The ten dragon men and women respectively bowed to Cave Master Rong Xu and Dragon King Ao Tong.
