Chapter 1062: Settling Floating Cloud Cave (I)
The words of the North Brocade River King left everyone stunned. The Six-Cornered Scarlet Flame Lamp in Li Minggong's hand trembled, its flames dimming slightly. Her eyes brightened as realization dawned in her heart, and she let out a breath of relief, I thought the North Brocade River King looked so imposing and that we would need some sort of negotiation since he’s a guest of the Dragon Son... but it turned out to be so easy...
The two devil cultivators underground were barely hanging onto their lives, captured in Qu Buzhi's grip and unable to move. The old man's face flushed red in disbelief. Well-traveled and experienced, he secretly sensed that something was off, This was not the manner one would use facing a Purple Mansion Realm immortal family. Even if he was facing Zhaojing himself, the North Brocade River King would not have been so deferential. No wonder Li Chenghui showed no fear. I thought this man had merely lost his caution...
The two men had different expressions, but even Li Chenghui was surprised. The brows of the young man in silver armor and black robes furrowed, Judging by this, the North Brocade River King being valued by the Dragon Son might not be true.
Yet no matter how startled they were, none could compare to Miaoshui. The Daoist nun's face had gone pale down to her neck. The spell in her hands scattered, and Li Minggong's blazing fire scorched several blackened patches on her Dharma robe. The strength in her hands clearly weakened.
"Your subordinate obeys!"
The old demon Shui Zhao hurriedly commanded the waters and descended.
Shui Zhao's true body was most likely a black soft-shelled turtle, making him a true steward of the Water Mansion. When he first heard the North Brocade River King say "No need to say more," he had put on a cold expression. But then his own master immediately lowered his head and did not even dare raise it again. The vast disparity frightened Shui Zhao so much that he began doubting himself instead.
So "No need to say more" was meant in this way... Those cold words were for Mang Huazi. It was my own eyes that failed me!
Fortunately, he had not committed much offense earlier. He quickly flew down from the carriage, lifted his sleeve, stomped on Mang Huazi's tongue, and cursed, "You slimy mudfish, how dare you swagger about under my king's name and cheat others!"
The old soft-shelled turtle was a refined demon, so his scolding was soft and weak. He simply raised his palm to strike Mang Huazi on the head, but the great halberd shifted slightly. Heavenly light reflected off it, and Li Zhouwei's voice came from afar.
