Yi Tian looked up as he walked at the bottom of the East Ocean. The surface of the sea was now suspended high above his head like the blue sky.
After walking all the way to the bottom of the sea from the passageway, Yi Tian channeled his power to prop up a protective membrane to wrap himself in it. After following the Flood Dragon King for more than an hour, he saw a crystal palace-like building. The Flood Dragon King transmitted his voice, "This is my residence. Mo Wen Tian is also here as a guest. Brother Yi, why don't you come in and take a look?"
After he finished speaking, he lifted a water curtain and directly opened the door of the crystal palace. Then, the Flood Dragon King hurriedly took the lead and directly walked through the palace door.
Yi Tian walked behind him. After performing a release technique, he followed. When he stepped through the water curtain and stepped through the door of the crystal palace, he saw that the water vapor that originally surrounded him had faded away. In this world, it was actually the same as on the ground. There was no need to prop up a protective barrier.
After putting away the spell, he followed the Flood Dragon King silently into the depths of the palace. Along the way, he saw many clam spirit maids welcoming him respectfully by the side of the road.
There were rows of prawn soldiers on the walls, led by crab generals patrolling back and forth. After walking for a distance, he saw some turtle spirit odd-job workers wearing long robes respectfully waiting for him.
When the Flood Dragon King saw this, he waved his hand and these people dispersed. Then, he turned to Yi Tian and said, "Fellow, please take a look at this place. Is it the same as the palace of an emperor in the mortal world?"
Yi Tian replied with a smile, "Since the Flood Dragon King has the word 'King' in it, you should naturally enjoy the treatment of an emperor. The crystal palace here is more majestic than the palace of an emperor in the mortal world. It is also worthy of the Flood Dragon King's identity."
The Flood Dragon King nodded in satisfaction after hearing this. Then, he brought Yi Tian to the outside of the main hall. At this moment, a beautiful sound of zither could be heard. Yi Tian did not think much of it and just followed him into the hall.
When he walked into the hall and glanced around, he saw that a banquet was being held. Seeing that someone had arrived, the singing and dancing stopped for a moment. Yi Tian saw that the main seat was empty, and the Flood Dragon King did not hesitate to take the seat.
After scanning the guests at the banquet, Yi Tian immediately found Mo Wen Tian at the head seat on the right. At this moment, Mo Wen Tian was also looking at Yi Tian with a surprised expression. Then, Mo Wen Tian beckoned Yi Tian over.
After taking his seat, Yi Tian heard a voice asking, "Junior Brother Yi, why are you here? Are you the one who trespassed into the Jiao Dragon's territory?"
Yi Tian helplessly squeezed out a smile. Then, he briefly explained his situation to Mo Wen Tian. The latter could not help but nod as he listened.
Suddenly, Yi Tian felt a deified soul scan his body. Normally, such an action was very rude. Just as Yi Tian was about to flare up, he saw Mo Wen Tian shake his head, indicating for him to calm down.
Yi Tian calmed down and carefully identified the source of the deified soul. It actually came from the seat on the left of the Flood Dragon King. After calming down, he carefully scanned the people present.
He saw an elder who looked to be in his fifties sitting on the left of the Flood Dragon King. However, the horns on his head had not completely degenerated. Compared to the Flood Dragon King, his bloodline should be slightly weaker. Needless to say, this was definitely the Thunder Dragon King. However, Yi Tian did not know why he would do such a thing when it was their first time meeting.
Fortunately, he was not alone now. Mo Wen Tian was by his side to help him. If there was anything, he could ask him directly.
After a while, a clam spirit maid came forward to rearrange the banquet. The music below also resumed.
Yi Tian only saw the Flood Dragon King's lips move a few times, as if he was transmitting a message to someone. Then, he turned to look at Mo Wen Tian and understood. After a while, Mo Wen Tian only frowned and looked at Yi Tian. Then, his lips moved a few times.
Seeing that they were transmitting messages privately, Yi Tian did not want to disturb them. He only drank by himself. After a while, he saw Mo Wen Tian turn around and transmit a message to him, "Junior Brother Yi, why did you get involved in this mess this time?"
Yi Tian replied with a helpless smile. At the same time, he also told Mo Wen Tian what the Flood Dragon King had said to him in detail.
For a moment, Mo Wen Tian could not help but nod. Then, he transmitted another message, "Junior Brother, do you know about the dispute between the Flood Dragon and Thunder Dragon clans in the East Sea, and the matter of the Dragon Saliva Fruit?"
After hearing that, Yi Tian became excited. The opportunity that the Flood Dragon King had mentioned before was also here. After nodding, he replied with a voice transmission, "Senior Brother, please enlighten me."
Mo Wen Tian only sighed slightly. Then, he transmitted a message, "Junior Brother, actually, you really shouldn't have agreed. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse to be involved in the Dragon Clan's dispute for no reason."
"What do you mean?" Yi Tian asked with a slight frown.
"Do you see the two Dragon Kings in the seats of honor?" Under Mo Wen Tian's signal, Yi Tian only glanced at them. Then, he heard Mo Wen Tian continue, "This trip to pick the Dragon Saliva Fruit is also a thousand-year celebration of the Dragon Clan. However, the fruit tree grows at the bottom of the underwater karst cave. The two clans have agreed that the clansmen who go in to pick it must not be more than 2,000 years old."
Yi Tian asked in confusion, "Then why did the Flood Dragon King ask me for help?"
"That's because the two clans have also agreed to find experts from other clans to do it for them. However, there are restrictions. For example, the bone age of a human cultivator must not exceed 500 years old, while the bone age of a Naga Sea Clan cultivator must not exceed 1,000 years old," Mo Wen Tian replied.
Upon hearing this, Yi Tian finally understood that the Flood Dragon King had a favor to ask of him. That was why he treated him so politely. However, when he saw Mo Wen Tian's slightly worried expression, he did not know the reason. He immediately asked, "I wonder what other problems there are that make Senior Brother so worried?"
After Mo Wen Tian sorted out his thoughts, he replied, "Junior Brother, you may not know this, but the Flood Dragon Clan and the Thunder Dragon Clan respectively control the Red Scaled Sea Clan and the Blue Scaled Sea Clan. It's not a big problem to choose experts from among them. I'm worried that you'll anger the old Thunder Dragon Clan by standing up for the Flood Dragon King. When that happens, he'll order the Blue Scaled Sea Clan to invade the coast of the East Sea again. Our three southern sects will have to run for our lives again."
So that was the case. Yi Tian finally understood the hostility in the Thunder Dragon King's eyes when he felt the sharp deified soul sweep past him. However, if he were to directly withdraw now, he would offend the Flood Dragon King. For a moment, he was really in a dilemma.
After briefly explaining his views to Mo Wen Tian, the latter also agreed. Now that things had come to this, there was only one path to take. Instead of offending both clans at the same time, it was better to be on good terms with one of them. Perhaps he could even buy some time for Ninghai City.
Since he had made up his mind, Yi Tian did not hesitate anymore. He directly raised the wine cup in his hand and toasted the Flood Dragon King. The Flood Dragon King also nodded at Yi Tian with a smile on his face. For a moment, the other guests at the banquet looked sideways. Everyone began to privately transmit messages to ask about Yi Tian's true identity.
