730: Chapter 260: Supreme Death Trap 730: Chapter 260: Supreme Death Trap Pushed too far, every member of the Sea Dragon Clan was seized by this thought, their hearts brimming with indignation.
The Heavenly Court had slain their Young Master, and now they dared demand the clan to confess guilt; should they refuse, they’d face annihilation, bringing them a sense of humiliating despair.
All members of the Sea Dragon Clan fixed their gazes on Long’ao, waiting for his response.
With but a command from him, they would immediately launch an assault on the Heavenly Court.
“Longxing.”
Long’ao called out.
“Father, your son is here.”
A young man emerged, kneeling before Long’ao,
This was Long’ao’s second son, inferior to his brother, yet still considered excellent.
However, during Longtian’s life, Longxing was not favored.
Now that Longtian was dead, though Longxing put on a facade of grief, the joy in his heart was unspeakable.
Essentially, he was quite pleased.
Of course, none of this joy was visible on his face.
“You will go to the Heavenly Court to confess.”
Long’ao said coldly.
Longxing was shocked, somewhat dazed.
If his elder brother had been killed, why should he go to the Heavenly Court to confess?
He looked at his father with confusion written all over his face.
“You must be respectful, do not provoke further troubles for our Sea Dragon Clan.
Whatever they say, you must endure, not daring to retort, even if they want to kill you, you must allow it.”
Long’ao spoke blandly.
This made Longxing feel a chill throughout his body.
No wonder his father had summoned him.
Was this sending him to a certain death at the Heavenly Court to placate their wrath?
But why?
Weren’t they supposed to be powerful, strong enough to fight the heavenly palace?
What was there to fear from a mere modern Heavenly Court?
“Father, I don’t understand.
Shouldn’t we be avenging my elder brother?”
After a glance at Longxing, Long’ao said indifferently, “I will naturally seek vengeance for your brother in the future, but not now.
The Heavenly Court is currently too powerful, we cannot defeat them.”
As he said this, his face emotionless, Long’ao continued coldly, “Since my resurrection, although I have not made an appearance, the Ancestral Dragon has sensed my existence and has been keeping a watch on me.
Should I clash with the Heavenly Court, the Ancestral Dragon would definitely seize the chance to aid them against us.
Do you think your father can fight several Supremes?”
Longxing shrank back a little.
Though his father was formidable, the idea of him defeating several Supremes was quite preposterous.
Just the Ancestral Dragon alone was enough of a challenge for him.
Moreover, within the Heavenly Court, there were two other Supremes, both unfathomably strong.
No wonder his father was making him confess.
In such circumstances, they had no choice but to do so; the opposition was simply too fearsome.
“I understand.
Father, rest assured, I will restrain myself, even if it means death, to prevent the Heavenly Court from punishing our Sea Dragon Clan.”
Longxing said hurriedly, his expression resolute.
In reality, he was well aware that the Heavenly Court was not likely to kill him outright.
After all, their Sea Dragon Clan, too, housed a Supreme.
The Heavenly Court had demanded they confess.
If they were to kill him, it would only provoke the Ancient Gods and Ancient Demons to oppose them.
Should the Ancient Gods and Ancient Demons join forces against the Heavenly Court, even a powerful Heavenly Court could not withstand them.
Therefore, Longxing was not at all worried.
At most, he would suffer humiliation.
Had he not endured enough disgrace within the Sea Dragon Clan?
Before his brother’s death, the indignities heaped upon him by his elder brother were far too numerous.
When it came to bearing humiliations and burdens, Longxing felt he had ample experience.
Long’ao’s expression softened slightly.
He said lightly, “Don’t worry, the Heavenly Court is not likely to kill you; I was only stating the worst-case scenario.”
Hearing Long’ao’s words, Longxing nodded, grateful that his father finally showed him some concern.
Had his brother died earlier, he could have felt his father’s love sooner.
With his heart full of excitement, Longxing left the Sea Dragon Clan.
He traveled alone to the Heavenly Court.
The Ziwei Heavenly Palace, stirred into a buzz by Longxing’s arrival.
Nobody expected the Sea Dragon Clan to truly come to offer an apology.
Atop the Ziwei Hall, the eyes of the Great Emperor Ziwei rested on Longxing, radiating an authority nearly impossible to withstand.
Longxing took a sharp breath inwardly.
He knew the Great Emperor Ziwei was merely a Sub-Paramount level, not yet a true Supreme.
Yet, his authority far exceeded that of his own father.
Even Longxing found it difficult to breathe under the scrutiny of Ziwei’s piercing gaze.
The Great Emperor Ziwei represented the authority of the Three Realms and all living beings, embodying the natural order of heaven and earth.
His authority, naturally, was unlike any typical Supreme’s.
If the Great Emperor Ziwei were to step into the Supreme level, his eminent authority would likely become even more astounding.
Merely with a glance, he could cause even the Great Heavenly Venerates to tremble.
The Immortals also watched Longxing intently to see his next move.
At that moment, Longxing knelt down; he prostrated himself and cried out, “The lowly subject Longxing from the Lower Realm, greets the Ziwei Heavenly Venerate.”
The Great Emperor Ziwei said indifferently, “What is your status in the Sea Dragon Clan?
Why did Long’ao not come himself to confess?”
Longxing hurriedly replied, “Your Majesty, I am Longxing, the second son of Long’ao.
My father, due to a critical moment in his cultivation, cannot leave his retreat and has thus sent me to confess, praying that the most exalted Ziwei Heavenly Venerate may be merciful and forgive our Sea Dragon Clan.”
“Longtian was related to you how?”
“He was my father’s eldest son, my older brother.”
Longxing quickly said.
“Are you aware that your brother committed a heinous crime, disrespecting the commands of the Heavenly Court, challenging its authority, and intending to annihilate Human Race cities?
Any of these crimes are enough to extinguish your Sea Dragon Clan.”
