The Investiture: Unlimited Blade Works Nezha-Chapter 308 - 307: Murder in a Dream

Outside, Long Ji entered carrying a platter of exquisite fresh fruits. She ran to Daji’s side with a cheerful smile, feeding her a grape, then ran to Deng Chanyu’s side to feed her a strawberry, finally coming to Nezha.

Deng Chanyu delightedly ate the strawberry and said, "Oh my, Long Ji, you’re so considerate."

Daji chimed in, "Yeah, why don’t we skip the middleman altogether, and the three of us can just get along? Isn’t that better than anything?"

Nezha had a look of exasperation: "You are overturning the Heavenly Gang!"

Yang Chan and Golden Light still needed to stay in the Ziwei Three Constellations to handle affairs, so the business of the Heavenly Court was left to Daji and Deng Chanyu, while Nezha was responsible for command and slacking off.

At that moment, a guard reported from outside.

"Report, Emperor, the Four Sea Dragon Kings have come to visit."

Upon hearing the name of the Four Sea Dragon Kings, Nezha immediately thought nothing good would come of it and winked to Daji and the others to hide behind the throne. He then tidied up his Emperor Robe and said, "Let them in."

"Yes!"

Before long, four Old Dragon Kings entered the hall.

"Subjects, the East (West, South, North) Sea Dragon King greet the Emperor."

"Oh, what kind of wind blew you all up here?"

The four Old Dragon Kings glanced at each other, not knowing how to respond. The previous Hao Tian was too dignified, but now Nezha seemed too down-to-earth, the contrast was overwhelming.

"Well, uh, it’s like this."

"Has the Emperor heard of the Mirage Dragon?"

When Nezha heard a term he didn’t quite recognize, he was immediately intrigued.

According to the East Sea Dragon King’s explanation, although the Mirage Dragon had ’dragon’ in its name, it was not part of the Dragon Clan. It was a special biological weapon living in dreams, created by the evil Phoenix Clan through special methods combining the bloodlines of the Three Clans.

Unfortunately, the Mirage Dragon was too fierce, even the Phoenix Clan that created it couldn’t control it. Ultimately, because it was so unruly, the Three Clans joined forces to seal it in a certain place in the Primordial World.

Now, for some unknown reason, this creature has escaped confinement and is indiscriminately slaughtering the creatures of the Primordial World.

The Old Dragon King hadn’t even finished speaking when another visitor arrived, it was Ji Chang, serving as King Yan in the underworld.

"How come you have time to come up to Heaven and play?"

At this moment, Ji Chang was in no mood to joke with Nezha.

"Reporting to the Emperor, something unknown is happening in the Mortal World, countless mortal beings are dying suddenly. We have no choice but to beg for help from the Emperor."

Ji Chang was desperate; the underworld was almost about to explode!

Usually, with him as a civil official, nine out of the Ten Halls Yama were mostly closed. Now, all ten halls were open, and they still couldn’t manage the situation. Even the Judge’s hand, holding the pen, was cramping!

Nezha held his head in his hands, feeling a bit of a headache. As the Acting Emperor, all he seemed to be doing was cleaning up Hao Tian’s messes.

This issue about dreams, it was surely Hao Tian’s fault, no doubt about it. Of course, the Dragon Clan wasn’t spotless either.

If the Dragon Clan was in trouble, then his old neighbor wasn’t doing well either.

At this moment, a white mist was rising over the East Sea’s surface. Any living being touched by it began to feel sleepy; those with high cultivation could resist a bit, while those with low cultivation fell asleep immediately.

The mist seemed to possess its own consciousness and bypassed Golden Turtle Island, but not all Jie Sect Immortals stayed obediently on Golden Turtle Island. Those unlucky ones outside vanished just like that.

On Three Immortals Island, Yunxiao was also puzzled by the outside white mist. This peculiar power made even him feel a bit sleepy when he touched it. Afraid for his two sisters, he started forced seclusion for the three of them.

Sect Leader Sister Jin Ling began to have headaches again; the unlucky Dragon Clan always seemed to be in trouble.

Now, although there were quite a few Jie Sect Immortals, compared to their peak, they had already been weakened significantly. Each one appeared to have the cultivation of a Heavenly Immortal or True Immortal, but their cultivation time was measured in centuries.

It’s not easy to replace them if they die, and as Sect Leader Sister, she certainly couldn’t ignore it.

Even though the Mortal World wasn’t covered by the fog, many elderly folks whose willpower had faded quietly passed away in their dreams...

Nezha couldn’t ignore this issue, but unfortunately, it involved the Dragon-Phoenix-Three Clans, which was no small matter, and none of his subordinates seemed capable of handling it.

He could only take action himself.

As for what ’old generals shouldn’t be moved lightly’ meant, Nezha had no such concepts. He wasn’t really interested in the position of Heavenly Emperor either.

After sending the Four Sea Dragon Kings and Ji Chang back, Nezha changed back into his Daoist robe and left the Heavenly Court. His first destination was the Western Spirit Mountain.

Who knew the Dragon Clan the most?

The answer was the Phoenix Clan.

Since their parting at the previous inauguration ceremony, Kong Xuan had come to Buddhism for his younger brother’s sake.

Seeing Kong Xuan again, Nezha was a bit surprised. At this point, Kong Xuan was dressed in the attire of a Bodhisattva, with facial features entirely skewing towards femininity, a Merit Golden Wheel floating behind him. His dignified presence was mixed with some peacock feather decorations, adding a certain allure.

In summary, it was somewhat appealing.

"Sister Kong Xuan, what is this look?"

Kong Xuan didn’t feel anything about his appearance; after examining himself and finding nothing odd, he said, "Previously, I never divided Yin Yang, so this is not surprising."

Kong Xuan didn’t consider transforming into a female body as something shameful, as the leader of the Phoenix Clan was Yuan Feng, a clan in which Yin flourished over Yang, and even transforming into Yin could be said to fit his strong personality.

"Is the Roc settled?"

"Thanks to your token, little brother, the Roc has been placed in the Merit Pool by the Buddha. Given a thousand years, he will surely be reborn."

They chatted briefly before discussing the main issue.

"Sister Kong Xuan, have you heard of the Mirage Dragon?"

"Mirage Dragon?"

Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan furrowed her brows. Born after the war among the Three Clans, she didn’t know much about the Divine Dragon.

"I don’t know either, but we could ask my mother, Yuan Feng."

Nezha was somewhat reluctant to meet Yuan Feng; her mouth was just too incessant!

But to learn about the Mirage Dragon, the two of them set off once more to the world of the Undying Volcano in the South.

This place was still the same, a world perpetually themed with magma.

Da Feng was quite surprised to see Kong Xuan’s new look and couldn’t resist a couple of extra glances, only to be glared at by Kong Xuan in return.

Once half a sister, now a full sister, the bloodline suppression had doubled.

As they approached the volcano, lava churned inside, and soon appeared an unparalleled beauty, two meters tall, dressed in a red robe, sitting nonchalantly on fire clouds.

"Little Xuanxuan, what’s with this new look of yours? So ugly, what’s that halo behind your head? Let me have a taste!"

Kong Xuan’s face immediately turned dark.

"Could you not talk nonsense, we have something to ask you."

Yuan Feng paid no mind to her daughter’s words, glanced at Nezha, and said, "What could you want? Is it something for your little lover?"

Kong Xuan covered her face with her hand; having a mother like this was utterly embarrassing.

Nezha thought Yuan Feng was truly a connoisseur of the art of language, always able to maximize others’ anger with her words.
