Instantly, the Taoist robe that Little Daoist Zhen was wearing was covered with footprints.

The guards rushed over to stop Zeng Yitao while Premier Xia pulled him back to prevent him from giving Little Daoist Zhen more kicks.

Bruised all over, Little Daoist Zhen struggled and finally got up from the ground.

Zeng Yitao snorted and said, “That’s what you get for messing with me!”

In his mind, his grandpa must have come with troops, and the East Ocean Dragon Clan was forced to release him due to the pressure.

When the guards kept Zeng Yitao in control, Premier Xia hurried and helped Little Daoist Zhen who was still dizzy. “Little Daoist Zhen…”

He reached out to Little Daoist Zhen

“Humph!” Little Daoist Zhen slapped away Premier Xia’s hand angrily.

Premier Xia was anxious. After all, it wouldn’t reflect well on East Ocean when Grandmaster Qiu Niu’s disciple got hit in the palace.

Now, he only hoped that Little Daoist Zhen would turn all his anger on the West Ocean Dragon Palace instead of the East Ocean Dragon Palace.

“You’ll get 100 times what you did to me today!” Glancing at the trampled herbs on the ground, he limped to the southeast corner of the palace.

Although his cultivation strength was weak, he had lots of ways to retaliate on the West Ocean Dragon Palace. He would make them cry!

“Come at me! Come at me!” Furious, Zeng Yitao provoked even more.

Premier Xia looked at Zeng Yitao with pity in his eyes and thought, “This kid is asking for death. The dharma treasures in Little Daoist Zhen’s room are more than enough to kill him.”

Looking at Little Daoist Zhen who was walking away, Zeng Yitao thought he was afraid of him.

After seeing that no guard dared to make a move against him, he got even more overbearing. He strode toward the main gate of the dragon palace.

To his surprise, there were no troops outside of the palace, and there wasn’t even an elder from West Ocean. Only Premier Lu, alone, was standing by the carriage in a bright red robe.

Seeing Zeng Yitao walk out, Premier Lu hurried over to him. “Crown Prince!”

“Where’s my grandpa?” Zeng Yitao asked in confusion.

“Old Dragon King, he…” Premier Lu was at a loss for words.

When Oldman Zeng returned to the West Ocean Dragon Palace a few days ago with half of a dragon horn, ragged clothes, and an ash-colored face, Premier Lu almost thought he was an imposter.

“I got it! East Ocean has surrendered, and Grandpa sent you to pick me up!” Zeng Yitao said immediately.

Speechless, Premier Lu bowed slightly. “Please get into the carriage, Crown Prince.”

After getting into the carriage, Zeng Yitao looked back at Premier Xia. “I’ll never forget the whole incident! And I’ll never forget Hao Ren!”

Premier Xia shook his head slightly and turned to Premier Lu. “And…”

“Oh, yes!” Premier Lu beckoned, and a luxurious four-wheeled carriage moved to the main gate of the East Ocean Dragon Palace.

In it were shining treasures they had promised.

“These…” Zeng Yitao couldn’t believe his eyes, wondering why they had to give East Ocean gifts when they had forced East Ocean to release him.

More astonishingly, Premier Lu took out 20 pieces of high-quality West Ocean Mystic Ice from his Xumi Ring and handed them to Premier Xia carefully.

Then, Premier Lu sighed with relief, got onto the front seat of the carriage, and drove it out of the territory of the East Ocean Dragon Clan.

“Premier Lu, why did we give them gifts! They imprisoned me for five days!” In the carriage, Zeng Yitao shouted.

While driving the carriage, Premier Lu tried to placate him, “Crown Prince, things have changed. The Grand Dragon King has ordered us to give ways to the people from East Ocean when we meet them.”

“What?!” Zeng Yitao didn’t understand.

“Besides,” Premier Lu said in a placating tone, “We have finished the drop-out procedure in the school on land. Grand Dragon King has arranged six masters to teach you in the dragon palace.”

“I can’t continue my study in East Ocean City?” Zeng Yitao yelled, “We’ll just forgive Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi? Where’s my grandpa? What’s he thinking?”

“Grand Dragon King has declared a seclusion cultivation period of 200 years. You can’t see him.”

“Didn’t he tell me to provoke East Ocean so that we could use that as an excuse and take all the territory of East Ocean? How come he is suddenly in seclusion cultivation?”

“Well…” Premier Lu didn’t know how to answer him. He whipped the demon horses that were pulling the carriage to make them run faster.

The two horses pulling the carriage were demon horses that could move fast in the ocean. At this speed, they would return to the territory of the West Ocean Dragon Palace in one day and one night.

At this moment, a beam of golden light dashed near the carriage.

As a cultivator of Xun-level, Premier Lu sensed the fluctuations of nature essence nearby and was immediately alerted.

In the dirty Taoist robe with footprints on it, Little Daoist Zhen appeared before the carriage, standing on a circular dharma treasure.

Seeing that he was only at Li-level, Premier Xia relaxed and lifted the pass token hanging on his belt. “I’m the premier of the West Ocean Dragon Clan. I’m passing on an emergency!”

Besides the four ocean dragon clans, the other dominant force in the ocean was the Demon Sea which was full of high-level demons. Outside of these five major forces were some small demon forces.

Premier Lu had brought the pass token of the West Ocean Dragon Clan with him. Once it was shown, the minor demon forces would back off even if they didn’t recognize the carriage.

The small forces of five to six demon wouldn’t dare to work against the dominant force of the West Ocean Dragon Clan.

“It’s you that I’ve been looking for!” Little Daoist Zhen took out a small yellow flag and pointed it at the carriage.

“This Li-level demon couldn’t even recognize the pass token! What dharma treasures could he have?” Premier Lu thought as he raised his hands and formed a blue light shield around him and the carriage.

Swoosh! Swoosh… Beams of golden light broke Premier Lu’s light shield and instantly turned the steel carriage into a sieve.

Bang! The carriage collapsed, and Zeng Yitao tumbled out.

Astonished, Premier Lu thought he had entered the territory of Demon Sea by mistake. He was about to explain when Little Daoist Zhen waved the yellow flag again.

The two demon horses fled, and many beams of golden light overwhelmed Premier Lu.

His exquisite red robe was turned into rags.

Zeng Yitao was sent into unconsciousness when a few golden beams hit his head; he didn’t even see who the attacker was!

Then, Little Daoist Zhen waved the yellow flag again!

Hundreds of golden beams shot toward Premier Lu and the unconscious Zeng Yitao like daggers.

Knowing he was no match for the golden beams, Premier Lu scrambled to one side.

Without Premier Lu’s cover, Zeng Yitao’s body was pierced by more than a dozen golden beams! Before the golden beams, his body was as fragile as a piece of cheese!

Little Daoist Zhen put the yellow flag away and drove the flying dharma treasure away after the revenge.

After he got kicked, he had returned to his small room in the southwest corner of the East Ocean Dragon Palace and dug out his fastest flying dharma treasure and the most powerful attacking dharma treasure. Without changing out of his dirty robe, he ran out of the East Ocean Dragon Palace to chase them.

With his weak cultivation strength, he could only use the powerful offensive dharma treasure three times. Otherwise, he would do more damage to Zeng Yitao.

Besides, this place was some distance away from the East Ocean Dragon Palace, and complex forces were lurking around. Little Daoist Zhen, a Li-level demon with great treasures on him, didn’t dare to linger.

With several holes on his body, Premier Lu looked at Little Daoist Zhen, who was dashing away, in fear. Then, he scrambled to the side of Zeng Yitao and tried to help the Crown Prince to stand up.

Seeing the blood-stained body, Premier Lu didn’t know if the Crown Prince was still alive or not. He looked around and couldn’t find a trace of the two demon horses.

Then, he looked back at the shattered carriage and sighed heavily, “The West Ocean Dragon Clan is in bad luck this year; even the Demon Sea is working against us!”

While Premier Lu was crying over the bloody Crown Prince, Hao Ren had just finished all of his classes.

The setting sun was stunning; it dyed everything in gold.

He left his books in the dorm before walking out of the southern dorm area to take the bus.

“Hao Ren!” a clear voice sounded behind him.

He turned and saw Xie Yujia jogging toward him in a dress.

She dressed beautifully. Her pink jacket and deep blue dress matched each other perfectly, and the high waisted dress underneath the open jacket made her legs look longer and accentuated their elegant lines.

The dress was not fancy, but it was simple and elegant.

“Are you going out on a date?” Hao Ren looked at her and asked without thinking. He remembered that she was not dressed like this during class, so she must have changed into them afterward.

Xie Yujia pouted. “With whom!?”

Realizing his mistake, Hao Ren asked hurriedly, “Why are you dressed so beautifully today?”

Recently Xie Yujia indeed got more beautiful. According to Yu Rong’s gossip, more and more guys have begun to pursue her.

Although everyone knew Xie Yujia had a “boyfriend” Hao Ren, the guys hoped they could win her over from him. After all, she and Hao Ren didn’t stay with each other very much, which gave the guys hope.

“I’m going to LingZhao Middle School. Want to go with me?” Xie Yujia smiled lightly and asked him.

“What a coincidence!” Hao Ren was surprised.

“Are you heading to LingZhao Middle School, too?” Xie Yujia was also surprised. “I was invited by my former teacher to watch a play.”

“Ugh, same with me, but it was Zhao Yanzi who asked me to see it.” Hao Ren scratched his head. “Let’s go together.”

“I wonder who plays the heroine.” Xie Yujia walked with Hao Ren toward the bus station and said casually, “I once played Juliet.”
