Peerless War God

Ao Xi angrily rebuked, his eyes filled with a fierce light as he stared at the other party.    

He had sufficient confidence. Including himself, and the Dragon Clan that stood by his side, suppressing Ao Yu was not a difficult matter.    

However, this way, it was practically a calamity for the Dragon Palace.    

He could completely imagine that after this internal strife, the Dragon Palace would forever decline, and would never be able to revive again.    

Thinking up to this point, Ao Xi was incomparably furious and even filled with hatred.    

“Ao Yu, you have betrayed me, betrayed the Dragon Palace. Do you still want to persist in your obstinate ways? Give up. I can give you a promise that I won’t harm your life, and will only imprison you. How about it?”    

Ao Xi shouted loudly.    

In his opinion, his side was at an advantage, and he was even willing to give a chance for Ao Yu, this traitor, to repent. This was already a wise and extremely magnanimous action.    

However, Ao Xi’s words were merely a final cry in the eyes of Ao Yu, and he was powerless.    

Ao Yu sneered and said, “I finally understand why the Sea God Hall split up the Dragon Palace. Haha, we are all dragons, and we were originally one, yet we had no choice but to be at loggerheads because of our different opinions. It truly makes one’s heart ache. Ao Xi, don’t you repent yet? If you insist on being a peacemaker, you will only harm the Dragon Palace, harm the Dragon Clan, and harm the Dragon Clan that has lost its fighting spirit. What’s the difference between a local worm and a dragon?”    

“You, Ao Yu, you are talking nonsense. Do you think you can win just because you have the blood and fighting spirit? Dream on.”    

Ao Xi retorted angrily.    

He could not understand why Ao Yu was resisting and betraying him.    

Wasn’t it the best way to negotiate with the Human Race? If they continued to fight, it would only cause more deaths and injuries. The Dragon Race would continuously die, and there would be no hope.    

Ao Yu took a deep breath, and his face turned pale.    

“It seems like neither of us can convince the other, right?”    

Ao Xi opposed him, and said, “Ao Yu, I will give you one last chance. Surrender to me, and stop being stubborn. Your choice is wrong.”    

Ao Yu remained silent. His eyes were filled with pity and sorrow as he looked at the other party.    

Ao Yu looked at Ao Yu worriedly, fearing that the other party would give up halfway. If that happened, his last hope would be completely gone.    

Ao Yu’s face was calm as he said, “I am not wrong. Ao Xi, you are wrong. If we negotiate, it would be equivalent to surrendering to the Human Race. Although the Human Race will let us off for a while, when the cultivators on Heavenly Sea Island recover, we will be the ones who will die. That is the path to eternal damnation for the Dragon Race. Ao Xi, if you give up resisting now, I will give you a proper death.”    

Ao Xi was furious. He could tell that Ao Yu did not give him any room to change his mind.    

“Ao Yu, do you really have to do this? If you and I fight, it will cause a large number of deaths and injuries. At that time, the Dragon Race’s vitality will be damaged. You have to think carefully.”    

Ao Xi questioned angrily.    

Ao Yu did not waver in the slightest and said, “I have already thought it through, there is no other way out.”    

Ao Xi was shocked when he saw this, “Is it the Ancestor’s intention?”    

Ao Yu shook his head and said, “I was not lying just now, and I really did not see the Ancestor.”    

Ao Xi heaved a sigh of relief, and then he became even more furious, “Then where did you get the confidence to betray me? Surrendering is not the same as surrendering. What are you worried about?”    

Ao Yu’s eyes were red, and his fierce gaze was like a sharp sword that split open the darkness of the night, sweeping towards the Dragon Clan experts that stood beside Ao Xi.    

“Ao Xi, don’t you see that those people standing beside you can fight? They are cowards, not daring to fight, and they are afraid of death. There are too many people like them in the Dragon Palace, occupying positions and resources, which is why they have fallen to their current state. Don’t you understand?”    

Ao Yu questioned.    

After he heard this, Ao Xi’s expression became slightly gloomy, and he seemed to be in deep thought.    

When the Dragon Clan experts on his left saw this, they were afraid that Ao Xi would waver at this moment, and they hurriedly said, “Palace Master, you must not tolerate this traitor. Ao Yu, this traitor, must not be tolerated. Otherwise, the Dragon Palace will not be able to protect itself.”    

“Ao Yu actually dared to betray us and cause trouble. He deserves to die. Lord Palace Master, as long as you give the order, we will capture him and let him be dealt with.”    

“Exactly. Ao Yu doesn’t have much influence, so why would we be afraid of him?”    

“Ao Yu is a wretched warrior. If we continue fighting, the casualties of my Dragon Palace will be disastrous. I’m afraid that the Sea God Hall will seize the opportunity to invade us. If that happens, then we’re really finished, Palace Master.”    

The Dragon Clan’s experts desperately persuaded Ao Xi to be merciless.    

Finally, Ao Xi was slightly annoyed, and he finally understood.    

Yes, no matter if it’s a battle or a peace treaty, the most important thing was that the Dragon Palace absolutely couldn’t be divided at this critical juncture, and a bloodshed internal strife would occur.    

Otherwise, it would really be irredeemable.    

At that time, even if the forces of Violet Cloud City didn’t make a move, the Sea God Hall would be sufficient to completely drown the Dragon Palace and replace it. Just the thought of it was too terrifying.    

This matter, Ao Xi absolutely wouldn’t allow it to happen.    

A terrifying killing intent arose in his reddened eyes. “Ao Yu, do you know that if you and I continue fighting, it would benefit the outsiders instead? No matter if it’s the Human Race or the Sea God Hall, they’re both eyeing the Dragon Palace covetously. Do you want to bear this crime?”    

Ao Yu had a ridiculing expression as he smiled and said, “What? You still care about this?”    

“What? You don’t care?” Ao Xi was stunned for a moment, and he was slightly unable to understand Ao Yu’s words.    

Ao Yu shook his head and looked at him with a sorrowful expression as he said, “Now that I’ve come to this day, I’ve finally understood the meaning of the Patriarch’s words. He’s only protecting the Dragon Clan, and not the Dragon Palace. Haha! What a good saying, ‘not protecting the Dragon Palace’.”    

“Ao Yu, how dare you! The Dragon Palace is the foundation of our race, how can you slander it?”    

“Ao Yu, you are too presumptuous! The Dragon Palace has treated you well. Without the Dragon Palace, you wouldn’t be where you are today. You are nothing without the Dragon Palace. Ao Yu, you have to think it through. If you make any mistakes, you will only be destroyed.”    

“The Dragon Palace is the foundation of our Dragon Clan, the inheritance of our ancestors. Ao Yu, don’t forget your ancestors and your roots. Without the Dragon Palace, you are nothing. Hmph!”    

The group of dragons standing beside Ao Xi shouted angrily and hysterically.    

Their words were very unpleasant to the ears, but they were also very angry.    

However, when Ao Yu heard these words, he wasn’t affected at all. In fact, he even wanted to laugh.    

“Without the Dragon Palace, I am nothing? Haha, you’re right. You are right. Today, I will destroy this Dragon Palace and create a new world for the Dragon Clan. Ao Xi, let me ask you one last time. Are you willing to take a step back?”    

Ao Yu’s words were deafening and resolute. There wasn’t any room for negotiation.    

At this point, he had already said what he wanted to say. Only by destroying the Dragon Palace would the Dragon Clan be reborn.
