Chapter 980: Can Mad Southern Ye Do That Alone?

The Water Dragon Palace was located at the source of the Yangtze River–the Tongtian River. It was originally a livestock and agricultural area.
After the spiritual energy recovery, a dragon that was over 60 meters long rose from the river.
This dragon spoke human language and spread clouds and rain, passing down cultivation techniques to save the world. It had indeed taken in more than ten million believers nearby. This dragon claimed to be the Sky-roaming Saint. As soon as it appeared, it attracted countless strange beasts to seek refuge. Among them, there was no lack of Demon Kings comparable to quasi-saints.
As a result, the dragon and the Water Dragon Palace possessed an extremely high status and authority amongst the mutated beasts.
Normally, countless believers would head to the hall outside the Water Dragon Palace to pray for blessings.
However, it was dead silent today.
Everyone knew that the Star Group and the Water Dragon Palace were at war. Mad Southern Ye, once the most powerful man in China, was about to head north. He threatened to flatten the Water Dragon Palace and kill everything.
This shocking battle that basically determined the balance between humans and beasts in China naturally attracted the attention of everyone and the beasts.
Under these circumstances, people continued to arrive less than a kilometer away from the Water Dragon Palace.
These people did not approach the palace. Instead, they stood where they were silently, as if waiting for someone.
There were also people carrying cameras.
At that moment, an azure robe flew over from the sky, accompanied by a surprised voice, “Eh, Taoist Brother Xu from Maoshan, why are you all here?”
An old Taoist master from Maoshan cupped his hands and said, “Fellow Ye is determined to flatten the Water Dragon Palace and return our human race to us. As humans, how can we not come?”
“That’s right!”
Another old man with a walking stick said with a trembling voice, “Although Fellow Ye is suppressing heaven and earth, he’s still weak in the end. If there’s a place where he can use us, we’ll charge and attack even if we die.”
“That’s right. We are all people who have lost half of our bodies. If we can do something for China with our bodies, what’s death to us?”
An extremely old laughter rang out in the air. Then, an old man in white arrived.
When they saw who it was, many of them were shocked. They bowed and cupped their fists, “Greetings, Celestial Master!”
The person who came was the old Taoist Master Long Quan from Mount Longhu. His lifespan was close to 300 years. Outsiders thought he had passed away long ago, but he was still alive.
“Hahaha, Long Quan, you old thing, your life is really tough. You’re actually still alive!”
Another loud laugh rang out, and soon after, an old woman in hemp clothes with two blades in her hands leaped over.
“Lotus Valley’s Granny Lotus!”
“Tsk, I didn’t expect her to still be alive!”
Many people gasped.
On the other hand, the onlookers were extremely shocked.
Maoshan, Wudang Mountains, Mount Longhu, Mount Emei, Mount Wutai, Eight Trigram Sect, Emperor’s Long Fist Sect and all the other traditional Chinese sects had arrived.
They were all here to help Ye Chen. Everyone came because of Ye Chen. That was the influence Mad Southern Ye had in the country!
After seeing Granny Lotus, Taoist Master Xu and the rest had a strange expression on their faces. Their gazes shifted back and forth between Taoist Master Long Quan and the former.
It was rumored that before Taoist Master Long Quan entered Mount Longhu, he had a relationship with the young and charming Granny Lotus.
Later on, when Taoist Master Long Quan went up the mountain to cultivate, Granny Lotus wreaked havoc on Mount Longhu and demanded an explanation from Taoist Master Long Quan. She even divorced him.
From then on, the two of them never came into contact with each other again. This lasted for over 200 years, and today, the two of them reunited because of Ye Chen.
“Lotus, have you not let go of what happened back then?” Taoist Master Long Quan shook his head helplessly when he saw who it was.
Granny Lotus smiled coldly, “I can only let you go after you die. As long as you live, I won’t forgive you.”
Taoist Master Long Quan was speechless.
Taoist Master Xu from Maoshan glanced at the Mount Longhu disciples who had followed Taoist Master Long Quan and sighed softly, “Old Taoist master, why are you doing this?”
He did not expect Taoist Master Long Quan to bring over a thousand disciples from Mount Longhu. That was cutting off all means of retreat.
Taoist Master Long Quan swept away the dust and said, “If Fellow Ye loses, it means that our human race will never be able to raise our heads again in the future. Instead of being trampled on, why not use death as a defense?!”
“After more than 200 years, you’ve finally become a man!” Granny Lotus said.
The Wudang Grandmaster, Li Xuanji, sighed and said, “Actually, our human race has no lack of people who live in grottos and secret lands. If they can help our country, perhaps…”
“Them? They’re just a bunch of people who put their own safety before everything else and believe in sticking their heads up high.”
Taoist Master Long Quan looked disdainful.
As everyone was talking, they suddenly heard a beast roar from afar. Then, an incomparably violent and bloody aura rushed towards them.
It was a person with red scales all over his body. His eyes were like a venomous snake as he stood in the air and looked down at everyone, “Why? Mad Southern Ye doesn’t dare to come, so he sent you useless people here to die?”
His voice boomed like thunder, causing many people’s expressions to change. Those with weaker cultivation would even bleed from their seven orifices.
“It’s the Golden Snake King of Snake Crown Ridge!” Granny Lotus’s dual blades swept across the sky, and saber qi overflowed everywhere.
A human powerhouse stepped forward, “Golden Snake King, Fellow Ye is a genius of our human race. His means are heaven-defying and his divine might is majestic. He’s not someone you can insult at will!”
“You’re courting death!”
A fierce light flashed in the Golden Snake King’s eyes. He opened his mouth, and an incomparably scarlet red shadow tore through the air, piercing through the man’s body.
A torn body fell to the ground.
At that moment, the world fell silent.
“Allow this old man to fight you!” Taoist Master Long Quan let out a long howl before he took a step into the sky, and he carried along True Origin Energy that shook endlessly as he flashed through the sky.
“It’s the old Celestial Master of Mount Longhu!”
“Rumor has it that this person is over 300 years old, and his cultivation has already reached the level where he’s a Spell Master. He will definitely be able to strike the Golden Snake King down!”
When the people in front of the screen saw that, their spirits were lifted. They stared at the scene with their eyes wide open, as if afraid that they would miss out on anything.
In the face of Taoist Master Long Quan’s forceful suppression, the Golden Snake King laughed disdainfully. His figure suddenly disappeared and appeared behind Taoist Master Long Quan in the next moment.
“Oh no!”
Taoist Master Long Quan’s heart sank. Just as he was about to dodge, he suddenly felt a pain in his shoulder. Then, his entire arm was torn apart.
Bang!
Taoist Master Long Quan crashed to the ground.
Dead silence!
Countless people could not believe what they were seeing.
“Tsk tsk, so this is a human powerhouse?”
The Golden Snake King retracted his tongue and licked the blood at the corner of his mouth, “You humans are destined to become slaves of the Demon Tribe. You will be suppressed by us for generations to come!
“Are humans really so weak in the presence of demons?”
On the other hand, the netizens who saw this through the live broadcast could not help but fly into a rage. Then, their faces were filled with worry.
“B*stard!”
Granny Lotus and the others were so angry that their faces turned ashen, “Golden Snake King, don’t be too pleased with yourself. Our human race’s legend Sage Ye has yet to arrive. Otherwise, we’d have definitely killed you all!”
“Can Mad Southern Ye do that alone?”
The Golden Snake King laughed sinisterly, “If he dares to come, I don’t need the other Demon Kings. I, the Golden Snake King, can kill him alone and destroy your human legend!”
Just as he finished speaking, a faint voice came from the depths of the void, “Is that so?”
