The Dragon Clan had always thought of themselves as the noblest clan in the world. Their clan's magical powers were incomparably powerful. Even a newborn dragon could fight with its breath, and its strength was comparable to a fourth-realm demon.
Whether it was humans, demons, or other plant spirits, they were all inferior creatures in their eyes.
How could the proud Dragon Clan listen to the orders of inferior creatures?
Any dragon would find it difficult to accept such humiliation.
But if they did not accept it, the Black Dragon Clan would be exterminated today.
When the human in front of him said that he would refine them into dragon corpses, his expression did not change. His eyes even had some eagerness to try. This gaze made Ao Feng feel an extreme chill from the bottom of his heart.
His intuition told him that the person in front of him could really do such a cruel thing.
The Black Dragon Clan had existed for so long. Including the newborn dragons and the old dragons that were about to die, there were only a few dozen of them. In order to take back the Sun Shooting Bow, he had mobilized the entire clan's powerhouses. If all of them died here, leaving only the old and weak in the clan, the Black Dragon Clan would not be far from extinction.
He finally sighed helplessly in his heart and asked Li Mu, "Ten years?"
Li Mu nodded and confirmed, "Ten years."
The current situation of the continent was changing rapidly. Many things could happen in ten years. The strength of these Black Dragons could not be underestimated. Ten years was ten years. What happened after ten years could be dealt with in ten years.
Ao Feng looked at his fellow clan members who were also humiliated and helpless. He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's make a Heavenly Contract first."
A Heavenly Contract was similar to a Dao oath. It was made with the blood of both parties and heaven and earth as witnesses. If there was a violation, heaven and earth would destroy the oath.
Heaven and earth had their own set of trajectories. What people did, heaven was watching. All the cultivation clans in the world had to follow the Dao of Heaven and Earth.
Li Mu and Ao Feng used their blood to write the contents of the oath in the void. After chanting the incantation of the Heavenly Oath, the words of the oath gradually disappeared.
Li Mu clapped his hands and said, "The contract has been made. It's time to talk about compensation."
He pointed at the huge stone pillars engraved with runes around the main peak and said, "Do you see those stone pillars? That's the super long-distance transmission formation. Every time it's activated, it costs one thousand upper-grade spiritual jades. Ten times the compensation would be ten thousand, and a round trip would be twenty thousand. Four stone pillars would be eighty thousand. Plus the travel expenses of the seniors of the various sects and the loss of time, it would be one hundred thousand. Do you want to pay now or in installments?"
Ao Feng widened his dragon eyes and asked, "How … How many?"
Li Mu cleared his throat and said, "100,000 upper-grade spiritual jades, not one more, not one less."
The expression on Ao Feng's face was beyond shocked. That was 100,000 Upper Grade Spiritual Jades, not Middle Grade Spiritual Jades, not Low Grade Spiritual Jades, and not even stones. What kind of Teleportation Array would consume so many Spiritual Jades?
Extortion, this was blatant extortion!
Li Mu knew what he was thinking. He was indeed extorting them, but they had finally met the biggest spendthrift in the Ten Continents. How could they let him go so easily?
The Dragon Clan was the most greedy and the most stingy clan.
Li Mu often heard from Cheng Xin that the elders of the clan slept on mountains piled with spiritual jades. The Black Dragon Clan was definitely wealthier than the five factions combined.
Ao Feng's face was gloomy. This person was obviously taking advantage of the situation. However, he had no choice but to lower his head. 100,000 upper-grade spiritual jades was an unimaginable number for others. Although he would feel the pinch, it was not to the extent of hurting him.
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words, "100,000 it is. However, I don't have so many spiritual jades with me. I have to go back to the West Sea Dragon Palace to get them."
Li Mu's eyes lit up and said, "Alright, I will go back with you. At the same time, I will calculate the compensation for my White Cloud Mountain disciples' psychological damage …"
When Ao Feng saw the light in Li Mu's eyes, he suddenly had an extremely bad premonition. He regretted going to the West Sea Dragon Palace in advance. He hurriedly said, "No need, I will go back alone …"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Don't stand on ceremony. I have never been to the Dragon Palace before. I will go and broaden my horizons …"
Ao Feng shook his head and said, "There is really no need …"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Of course, of course …"
…
The various clans of humans and demons occupied the ten continents. The vast oceans were occupied by the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas.
The Dragon Clan was not a unified clan. The Dragon Clan of the Four Seas was divided into the Black Dragon Clan, Silver Dragon Clan, White Dragon Clan, and Azure Dragon Clan.
Among them, the Black Dragon Clan occupied the West Sea, while the North Sea was the territory of the Silver Dragon Clan.
The Azure Dragon Clan and White Dragon Clan were active in the South Sea and East Sea. There were also great conflicts between the Dragon Clan. The division between the Dragon Clan was even more serious than that between humans and demons. It had even evolved into a chain of contempt.
Among them, the most powerful Black Dragon Clan stood at the top of the Dragon Clan's Despise Chain. They believed that all dragons of other colors were inferior dragons. Next was the Silver Dragon Clan. The White Dragon and Green Dragon Clan were at the bottom of the Dragon Clan's Despise Chain.
Li Mu had seen this in Ao Qing's diary. Ten thousand years ago, the Dragon Clan's racial discrimination existed.
Therefore, it was even more precious for him to become the king of the Dragon Clan as an Azure Dragon. Legends about him had been passed down in the Dragon Clan for ten thousand years.
Although Li Mu felt that this discrimination was not right, he was also glad that it existed.
The Dragon Clan's individual strength was extremely strong, but there were too few of them. There were billions of humans and over a hundred million demons on the continent. However, the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas only added up to a little over a hundred. They were born at the middle stage. Their bodies were strong, their abilities were heaven-defying, and their cultivation speed was fast. Their only weakness was that it was extremely difficult for them to reproduce. Even so, the Black Dragon Clan's strength was comparable to the two Daoist sects.
If the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas did not have the racial discrimination engraved in their blood, they would unite into a unified Dragon Clan. If another Eighth Realm expert appeared in the Dragon Clan, the ruler of the continent would undoubtedly be the Dragon Clan.
In today's world, there were not many people like Li Mu who knew the origin of the Dragon Clan.
Like the ancient beasts, they were once the enemies of the Human Clan. In terms of life form, they were superior to humans and demons. They were the only ancient beasts that were still alive on the continent.
Although Ao Feng was unwilling, he still brought Li Mu to the West Sea.
As for his other clansmen, they were all left at White Cloud Mountain. As dragon corpses, he could not play any tricks.
At the bottom of the West Sea, Ao Feng turned into his dragon form and swam into the deep sea without a word. Seeing Li Mu following beside him, his huge dragon eyes flashed with surprise. He gradually increased his speed.
Gradually, he was shocked to find that even if he used all his speed, he could not pull away from Li Mu. From the beginning to the end, Li Mu was following beside him at a steady pace.
The bottom of the sea was the territory of the Dragon Clan. The cultivation of humans would be suppressed, but the speed and strength of the Dragon Clan would be greatly increased. However, after this person entered the sea, his speed became even faster and the aura he emitted became even more dangerous. Sometimes, Ao Feng even wondered which one of them was the real Dragon Clan.
The more secrets this person had, the more Ao Feng was afraid of him. He did not dare to test him anymore. Soon, he brought him to a palace made of coral.
The aura of the Dragon Clan was emitted from every palace.
Li Mu scanned with his divine consciousness and found that these Dragon Clan cultivations were all below the Sixth Realm. They were either young dragons or old dragons with the aura of death around them. From this, it seemed that there were less than forty Black Dragons. When the old dragons died, this number would decrease even more.
"Greetings, Elder Feng …"
Sensing Ao Feng's aura, a few Black Dragons flew out of the Dragon Palace and bowed to Ao Feng. Ao Feng nodded and brought Li Mu to the largest Dragon Palace in the deepest part of the Dragon Palace.
Mountains of Spiritual Jade were piled on top of a palace that stretched as far as the eye could see. At the foot of the mountain, all kinds of precious Spiritual Herbs, ores, and Dharma Artifacts were scattered around. Even Li Mu, who was used to seeing big scenes, was shocked speechless by this scene.
Compared to the Black Dragon Clan, the Fu-lu School was like a beggar. Standing in front of the undulating Spiritual Jade Mountains, Li Mu's breathing became heavier.
Ao Feng seemed to have sensed something and immediately reminded him, "We agreed on one hundred thousand upper-grade Spiritual Jade …"
"I know, I know …"
Li Mu nodded, but his gaze continued to sweep across the Spiritual Jade Mountains.
He even had a thought in his mind. Why not refine the Black Dragon Clan? That way, wouldn't all the Spiritual Jade here belong to him?
Beside Li Mu, Ao Feng inexplicably shivered. As if realizing something, he immediately said, "Don't forget the Heavenly Oath!"
Li Mu sighed. He was not a demon after all, so he could not do such a thing.
He looked at Ao Feng and said calmly, "Your Black Dragon Clan gathered all the powerful cultivators of your clan to barge into my White Cloud Mountain. This caused great psychological trauma and mental damage to the disciples of my sect. You messed up their Dao Hearts and affected their future cultivation, thus affecting the future development of our sect. We should settle this score …"
