King of Creation-Chapter 1477 - 1462: Trampled Like Grass

After careful consideration, Ye Zhen ultimately decided against the idea of controlling the Water Monarchs of the North Sea to gain control over the sea.

Although the idea was very tempting and once successful, the benefits would be unimaginable.

However, the danger was also immense.

Even a slight mishap, and Ye Zhen would be utterly finished.

Not to mention anything else, the Yuanxin Water Monarch Dang Xiao, whom Ye Zhen had just accepted, nearly took him out. If it weren’t for the Demon Marshal’s Avatar coincidentally being unaffected by Dang Xiao’s innate divine ability due to lacking a True Body, Ye Zhen would have had a dire ending today.

If Ye Zhen continued attempting to control other Water Monarchs of different Water Mansions, it wouldn’t take many of them possessing such powerful innate divine abilities—just one or two—and Ye Zhen would be annihilated.

Furthermore, considering the distribution of the Waters of the North Sea, the areas where Ye Zhen currently traverses are still relatively outer regions of the North Sea.

Water Mansions like Xiansheng Water Mansion and Huaifeng Water Palace are only a few million miles from the land.

In the vast ocean, the deeper the ocean, the stronger the Water Mansions and Water Demons, the more profound their foundations.

Some Water Monarchs might inherit their positions family-style; despite the Water Monarch’s Cultivation barely at Dark Palace Realm Ninth Stage or First Stage of Realm King Realm, behind them might be several senior family members at Mid to Late Stage of Realm King Realm. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Such a situation, Ye Zhen would encounter it once, and his Martial Arts path would come to an end.

Moreover, Ye Zhen managed to single-handedly break into Yuanxin Water Mansion mainly because the Water Demons of Yuanxin Water Mansion were a disorganized rabble; if there were a Water Monarch with the ability like the Great Saint of Jinghai commanding them, Ye Zhen would have failed utterly.

A few days later, after the Water Demon instructor sent by the Great Saint of Jinghai arrived, Ye Zhen instructed Yuanxin Water Monarch Dang Xiao on some matters, then headed to Dulong Island.

In the coming period, Ye Zhen’s focus will be on Dulong Island.

Originally, Ye Zhen had planned to visit the oldest Market Five Immortals Island in the depths of the North Sea, but he temporarily shelved this plan.

The Market of Dulong Island, in its early construction phase, needed Ye Zhen to oversee the overall situation; it required a good start for the Market of Dulong Island to develop.

Moreover, before Ye Zhen left Dulong Island, he must refine a set of Suppressing Devices for the Great Saint of Jinghai and others to greatly enhance combat power, so Ye Zhen could feel more at ease even after leaving.

When Ye Zhen returned to Dulong Island, the situation there was somewhat unexpected for him.

Ye Zhen originally thought it should be a lively scene of bustling construction, but unexpectedly, there were two groups facing off against each other.

Unsurprisingly, the two opposing groups were outsiders and original inhabitants of Dulong Island.

The outsiders were led by Liao Feibai, along with Stars Tower Tower Chief Kui Gaijun and the previously arranged one hundred fifty mid-stage of Divine Communication Realm Martial Artists and ten Dark Palace Realm Martial Artists belonging to Xiansheng Water Mansion.

The other party consisted of the original inhabitants of Dulong Island, numbering over ten thousand, with Cultivation ranging from Soul Sea Realm to Dark Palace Realm, about four to five hundred being mid-stage of Divine Communication Realm Martial Artists, and more than twenty Dark Palace Realm Martial Artists.

From the looks of it, both sides were at daggers drawn, Liao Feibai holding his sword with a frosty face, while the people of Dulong Island surrounded him and his group in a crescent shape, on the verge of a big battle, with Grand Clan Leader Chu Shengting and Second Elder Miao Chen standing between both groups, their expressions gloomy.

"What’s going on?" Ye Zhen asked softly as he descended from the sky.

Stars Tower Tower Chief Kui Gaijun hurriedly signaled to Ye Zhen and began communicating with him directly using Divine Soul Telecommunication.

Listening, Ye Zhen’s expression turned grim, and his gaze fell on a severed leg frozen blue with Profound Ice between the two groups, where a young man from the original inhabitants of Dulong Island was groaning in pain.

A group of men and women were surrounding the young man, all immensely enraged.

The cause of the incident was somewhat clichéd; the commercial center selected by Gaijun was on a vast hilly area on Dulong Island, intended to be leveled by Martial Artists skilled in Earth Spiritual Power before construction.

However, on this hilly area stood a scenic small courtyard, and when the courtyard was about to be demolished, the owner, the eldest son of the Sheng family, one of the Seven Surnamed of Dulong Island, came forward.

He claimed that a lot was spent in constructing this courtyard, and if it were to be demolished, they should be compensated with some Spirit Stones.

The one receiving them was Liao Feibai.

Liao Feibai, known for his generosity, said they could name their price as a courtyard was only worth a few hundred Low Grade Spirit Stones at the most.

However, what Liao Feibai didn’t expect was that the Sheng family’s eldest son demanded an exorbitant price of ten thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones.

Liao Feibai was generous but not foolish.

This was no longer seeking small gains but extortion, and he naturally rejected it sternly.

More shamelessly, when Liao Feibai refused, the Sheng family’s eldest son flirtatiously suggested that they wouldn’t need any compensation if Liao Feibai joined him for a meal.

Liao Feibai’s fierce personality rejected it directly, but then, relying on the Cultivation of his guards, the Sheng family’s eldest son attempted to forcibly take Liao Feibai away.

This time, Liao Feibai was truly enraged.

Upon unleashing the Youluo Cold Evil, he instantly blasted two mid-stage Divine Communication Realm members of the Sheng family into ice, and originally, this Sheng eldest young master would also have met his demise.

However, at the critical moment, Liao Feibai held back, merely severing the Sheng eldest young master’s legs.

Ye Zhen understood that Liao Feibai did this considering the significance of Dulong Island’s layout to him, thus holding back.

But even so, it still infuriated the Sheng family patriarch of the Seven Surnamed on Dulong Island.

The reason being, this Sheng eldest young master was his direct eldest grandson, greatly cherished, and the sons of the Seven Surnamed family heads were akin to local tyrants on Dulong Island, wielding significant authority.

In a fit of rage, he incited ten thousand clan members to come looking for trouble, but fortunately, the experts Ye Zhen had arranged from Xiansheng Water Mansion arrived just in time, and Grand Clan Leader Chu Shengting’s continuous mediation prevented a war.

However, as Kui Gaijun said, Chu Shengting was, after all, the Grand Clan Leader of Dulong Island. His utmost achievement here today was merely to stabilize the situation and prevent its escalation.

For the sake of both his prestige and the people’s support, he leaned towards the Seven Surnamed of Dulong Island.

After listening to Kui Gaijun’s account, Ye Zhen had a sudden urge to completely annihilate the Seven Surnamed of Dulong Island.

However, considering that most people were innocent, Ye Zhen subdued his rage.

"Senior Sister, I’m sorry you suffered grievance. Watch me avenge you!" Giving Liao Feibai a gentle hug, Ye Zhen coldly smiled as he walked towards Grand Clan Leader Chu Shengting.

Seeing Ye Zhen’s actions, Chu Shengting’s expression suddenly shifted. He hadn’t anticipated that Liao Feibai was so intimately connected with the Second Shopkeeper of Sky Wing Trading Company.

"Grand Clan Leader Chu, what does this mean? Do you think our Sky Wing Trading Company is naive? Just collected the spirit stones and now you’re reneging?"

"This land, you’ve sold it to us at a high price. Now, not only do your people extort us, but they also harass my woman, what’s the meaning of this?" Ye Zhen shouted.

Before Ye Zhen’s voice even fell, a woman with a late stage of Divine Communication Realm cultivation, standing by Sheng’s direct eldest grandson, angrily cursed at Ye Zhen, "You’re talking nonsense! You injured my Qian’er and smeared dirt on my Qian’er. Just that kind of trash, how could it be worthy of my Qian’er to harass..."

Rumble!

A thunderous clap of rolling thunder erupted suddenly, with a dazzling thunder light flashing swiftly, leaving the air with a charred smell.

The woman’s angry cursing abruptly ceased, and even she vanished directly, leaving only a pile of black ashes where she stood.

The crowd on Dulong Island was stunned for a moment, and then cries of surprise and wailing resounded.

The legless young man was shouting loudly, "Mother!"

"Mother...you...you killed my...mother..."

In an instant, at least a hundred auras from Sheng family members locked onto Ye Zhen.

"Grand Clan Leader Chu, if you want the extinction of the Dulong Island tribe, feel free to come at me!" Ye Zhen took a step forward, unfazed, implicitly inviting them to battle, further unsettling the already stunned Chu Shengting.

Ye Zhen usually scorned killing women, but this woman’s mouth was overly vicious.

Ye Zhen could imagine, before his arrival, how many indescribably malicious words this woman’s mouth had spewed out, and Liao Feibai endured it all for him.

If he couldn’t vent this anger for Liao Feibai, what kind of man would he be?

"Manager Di, how can you just kill people at will? Do you see the people of Dulong Island as expendable?" Chu Shengting shouted in anger.

"Hmph, Grand Clan Leader Chu, I paid ten million mid-grade spirit stones — quite the hefty sum, and yet you take me for a fool!

Since you treat me like a fool, I’ll trample you like grass!"

With a cold sneer, Ye Zhen raised a middle finger towards the source of over a hundred killing auras locked onto him, and then with a wave, another Evil Punishing Divine Thunder struck down.

Ye Zhen straightforwardly blasted the direct eldest grandson of the Sheng family into ashes in front of the crowd.

Killing that woman didn’t provoke much intense reaction, but taking down the Sheng family’s direct eldest grandson did, especially as a middle-aged man from the Sheng family’s eyes reddened immediately.

"You actually killed Qian’er, I’ll fight you!" With a furious roar, Sheng’s father attempted to charge at Ye Zhen, only to be held back by an order from Grand Clan Leader Chu Shengting.

Chu Shengting’s expression grew incomparably stern; having killed a direct lineage of the Seven Surnamed of Dulong Island, this was no longer a matter that could be settled peacefully.

Before Chu Shengting could speak, Ye Zhen pointed at the Sheng family group and shouted, "Listen up, Sheng family! Don’t blame me for not giving you a chance.

I’m right here now, granting you an opportunity for revenge. Whoever comes, I’ll take them all on myself."
