Chapter 1247: No Next Time
Listening to Yu Hongjin rattle off such a long list of connections, Shangguan stood stunned for a moment.
He had originally only intended to invoke the name of Hongyuan Tianxia to recruit this demon.
Now, however, it seemed he had drastically overestimated his own importance.
He looked toward Sha Tang beside him, his gaze asking if all of this could possibly be true.
Sha Tang gave a helpless sigh. "I am afraid it is all true," he said.
He had heard some of those rumors himself.
Shangguan frowned. This made things difficult.
Hongyuan Tianxia could not afford to offend any of the names Yu Hongjin had just dropped. Their forces were currently marching north—a campaign that tolerated no mishaps. Furthermore, they were on the verge of reaching the Tongtian River. If they made enemies now, negotiations would be a nightmare later.
Sha Tang chimed in with another reminder. "Word is that the Dragon Monarch of Tongtian River went missing two years ago. The Dragon Palace Crown Prince asked the Beicang Dragon Lord to temporarily oversee the Dragon Palace. And that Ink Dragon Lord isn't in the Desolate Sea right now—he is right here before us."
