Chapter 368: The Way of the Mortal World Is Ever-Changing! The Dragon-Slaying Feat! The Cave’s immortal fortune!
Within the cavern lay an immortal fortune.
Seize that fortune, slay the human cultivators, and take command of the Chu River Dragon Palace! This, Ao Ang believed, was what he ought to do at this very moment.
As for his royal father, Ao Ang thought, Human emperors rarely live past a hundred years. To be Crown Prince for thirty years is already rare! But I’ve been Crown Prince of the Dragon Palace for two whole centuries!
From the very day he was named heir, the Dragon King had already been running on fumes, nearing his end. And yet, in these two hundred years, not only had the Dragon King not died, he had secluded himself in this cavern for further cultivation. From time to time he would emerge to stir storms and trouble, simply to stretch his limbs.
At this rate, when would Ao Ang ever be able to rise? What’s more, among the four dragon-children of the palace, he was not the only possible successor.
He activated his Water Escape Technique, darting swiftly through the subterranean caverns as his heart pounded with feverish anticipation.
Finally! I will ascend at last!
His gaze burned with madness.
The Chu River had seen minor unrest, but so long as the Dragon King devoured men in secret without triggering great calamities, no true immortals or arhats who subdued dragons and tigers would descend. It was the perfect cover!
Thus, under the guise of the Dragon King’s manifestations, he had secretly ordered maidens to be sacrificed as brides, then abandoned their corpses on the riverbank. All of it to lure human cultivators into the river to slay the Dragon King!
The River Patrol General was a bluefish spirit, fickle and obsequious by nature. Such a creature, once trouble arose, was bound to spill everything.
Ao Ang moved swiftly through the cavern, his breathing fast and ragged.
