My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 678

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Ao Bing was furious and he couldn't contain his anger at all.

In a corner of the East Ocean Crystal Palace, where the old Dragon King usually would not appear, the Third Prince of the East Ocean Dragon Palace, Ao Bing, appeared from a stream of water. He paced back and forth anxiously with his hands behind his back.

He was the Third Prince of the East Ocean Dragon Palace! Today! At the edge of the East Ocean, he was actually beaten up by a brat in a bodice!

Is there any justice? Are there any heavenly rules?!

The main point was!

He had yet to fight…

That's right. As the Third Prince of the East Ocean Dragon Palace, he could rely on the awakening of his bloodline to steadily enter the Golden Immortal realm in the future. Although the Dragon King bloodline in his body was too thin, he did not have any hope of soaring like his Second Brother.

However, he was still a dragon!

Today, he had gone to the human territory to warm up the human women. He had actually been pressed down by a brat in a bodice and beaten up!

Where did that fellow get his strength from!?!

“Where are the four of you! My four… Hiss!”

Ao Bing placed his hand on his swollen cheek and gasped. He was not in a good state.

Why can't I use my Dharma powers to reduce the swelling!?!

Didn't they say that it was the territory of mortals and not many human cultivators?

Even if he's a human Qi Refinement cultivator, shouldn't he get stronger only after they cultivate later on in life? How can he be so strong when he's still so young!?! 

“Guards!”

“Yes! Are you calling us, Your Highness?”

“Your Highness, why are you swollen?!”

Outside the hall, the group of dragon guards finally heard Ao Bing's shout and rushed over.

Ao Bing was angry and unable to calm down. The hatred in his heart could not be dispelled. His eyes were bruised and his lips were swollen. It made the guards feel shocked.

This bastard Third Prince has finally suffered retribution! He has only been hatched from his shell for a few years, but he has already harmed so many innocent women of the dragon race and the Sea Clan. He has caused so many lovers to end up in vain.

That was the dream of the guards.

“Your Highness! Who injured you!?!”

“You have to bring us along when you go out. You're still young and your bloodline has not awakened much.”

That was the reality that the guards had to face.

Ao Bing lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood. He took a deep breath.

“Follow me to find that child!”

The guards looked at each other and agreed indignantly. They followed behind Ao Bing.

However, one of them secretly crushed the jade talisman in his sleeve. In the depths of the Dragon Palace, the Dragon King of the East Ocean lay on his throne. His gaze was rather deep, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

Moreover, Ao Bing had brought the guards back to the vicinity of Chentang Pass. Black clouds rolled and thunder rumbled. The guards turned into azure dragons and churned in the clouds for a while, but they did not find the whereabouts of the boy in the bodice.

Ao Bing's anger dissipated by more than half. He cursed in the direction of Chentang Pass.

“Don't let me see you in the future!”

Then, he thought that there might be a powerful immortal behind such a naughty child. He pretended to be magnanimous and snorted coldly. He brought a few guards back to the Dragon Palace.

At the Li Residence.

Little Nezha was already tired from playing. He slept soundly beside Lady Yin and had a snot bubble at the tip of his nose.

In the corner of the Li Residence, Li Changshou lay on the custom-made cushion that was exclusive to his high-ranking servants. His immortal senses stared at Ao Bing's back and could not help but fall into deep thought.

That rascal…

It was unbelievably weak. That was probably what the wax-headed silver spear had said. His cultivation level was a little superficial.

The baneful aura lock that Nezha was wearing on his left hand just lit up.

Should I let Ao Yi interfere?

Li Changshou shifted his attention to the Heavenly Courts and looked at the young dragon who was training the navy by the Heavenly River. He could not help but smile.

Forget it. I should let Ao Yi and Ao Bing keep a distance and avoid strengthening their brotherhood.

Just as Li Changshou was about to focus and look at the Ji Prefecture, where a huge battle was about to erupt, his immortal senses suddenly captured a hint of abnormality on the East Ocean's coast.

A small dragon quietly swam out of the waves. After transforming into a human, it hid and sized up the surroundings.

He used his Dharma spells to secretly reach the village that he had fled in a sorry state previously.

How can the old dream last forever?

“Tsk.” The corners of Li Changshou's mouth twitched. He almost could not help but teach the little silver dragon a lesson.

He really is the type to hold out hope until faced with the grim reality.

However, speaking of which, Ao Bing's mess could not do anything to him.

Those women seemed to have had a dream. In the dream, there was a good man. When they woke up from the dream, there were treasures to compensate them, allowing them to live comfortably.

If Li Changshou wanted to find some victims to testify against Ao Bing, he might be scolded by the women for being nosy.

Ao Bing relied on sweet talk and did not use any mystical abilities or Dharma spells. That way, he would not be exposed.

However, from a personal perspective, Ao Bing's actions were really infuriating.

Li Changshou looked at Little Nezha, who was sleeping soundly. When he thought of the rough script that he had set, he immediately felt relieved.

Ao Bing's outcome was destined to be tragic.

Knock, knock, knock.

A rapid drum beat sounded in his heart. Li Changshou's eyes lit up. He left a portion of his attention on Nezha and multi-tasked. He looked at the other side of the South Continent.

In the City of Ji Prefecture, Su Hu had rebelled and was already faintly surrounded by the army of Marquis and Tiger.

The black clouds pressed down on the city and were about to destroy it. The morale of Su Hu's army was rather low. Many soldiers in the army had heard of the cruel and murderous name of the Marquis of the North. Most of them no longer wanted to fight.

That included…

General of Food, Zheng Lun.

‘Why am I so unlucky?'

In the army tent on the inner side of the city wall of the Ji City, Zheng Lun was dressed in armor and was sitting there in a daze.

Back then, his master suddenly received a hint from the Heavenly Dao and said that he was destined to be in the South Continent.

Zheng Lun asked, “Isn't Ren School unable to enter this great calamity?”

Perfected Du'e could not answer either. After deducing for a few months, he still asked Zheng Lun to come to the South Continent.

Hence, Perfected Du'e said, “Before the Great Tribulation, my disciple, you seem to be in the Tribulation. You need to go to the South Continent. However, disciple, don't worry. You had a good relationship with Lord Taibai Jinxing in your previous life. Now that you have your memories, it will not change. With this relationship, Lord Taibai Jinxing will naturally take care of you. What are you afraid of? Moreover, if you go to the South Continent, don't go to places like Chaoge City or the fourth vassal state. Just find a vassal state that isn't too large nor small. The place is remote. Be a little general. What can the Great Tribulation do to you?”

Zheng Lun, who felt that what his master said made sense, touched the South Continent and searched everywhere. In the end, he chose Ji Prefecture, which had a good environment.

This place was far away from Chaoge City. The head of the household, Su Hu, was also a loyal and honest local marquis.

Afterwards…

Su Hu exclaimed, “Di Xin is tyrannical and ruthless! I will not serve such a king!”

Zheng Lun was also a little puzzled. He did not know what went wrong with his master. With just the troops and rations in the Ji Prefecture, wouldn't that be an honor for the Shang Army?

Now, the Shang army did not move at all. It was just that the attack of the Northern Marquis's army had almost suffocated the Ji Prefecture.

“Ah.”

Zheng Lun sighed and looked at the map on the table in front of him. He thought about how he should deal with it.

This time, it was a defensive battle. The Inspector seemed to be useless.

As the saying goes, before the three armies mobilized their rations, they had to go first. The amount of the General of War and the General of Vanguard was similar. Later, Zheng Lun would also have to charge and break through the enemy lines.

At that moment, he was disguised as a strange person who had some special techniques. In order not to expose his identity as an immortal, he had to ride a horse and hold a weapon. He also had to be careful not to kill more mortals, or else it would increase negative karma.

If there were Qi Refinement cultivators hidden in the army under Chong Houhu, it would barely count as a battle between him and the other party. Putting the outcome aside, at least he would not be labeled as a laughing stock who bullied mortals.

In his previous life, he was the Sect Leader of the six Immortal Sects of Ren School.

Now, the general was under the tent of the mortal marquises.

The contrast was too stark. It was not straightforward at all.

This time, he would casually skive. If Su Hu was destroyed, he would return to the forest. It could be considered a trip to the South Continent.

Could Su Hu win?

What a joke. The army of Chong Houhu alone was already ten times the number of troops in the Ji Prefecture. Although Su Hu was known for his bravery, he was destined to lose.

If Su Hu could win, Zheng Lun would eat the wooden table on the spot!

“Since they are surrounding the Ji Prefecture, Chong Houhu will lead the troops to call for battle. Su Hu will accept the challenge and use his son, Su Quanzhong, to hold the line. He will leap forward and fight with Chong Houhu for a while and win by a narrow margin. Chong Houhu gets defeated and his morale is lowered. He will not attack the city for now.”

At night, the troops of the Ji Prefecture invaded the camp.

Chong Houhu was arrogant because he had many troops. He was not on guard and was led by Su Hu into the main camp. Chong Houhu's army was leaderless and wandered around the Ji Prefecture. The army hid and killed everywhere, causing Chong Hou Hu's army to collapse and retreat 50 kilometers.

Zheng Lun was speechless.

Alright.

Upon returning to his tent after killing the enemies, Zheng Lun raised his hand and pointed at the wooden table. He turned the wooden table into a plate of fruits and began to taste them.

If he could win even that, why would Chong Houhu be the Fourth Uncle? He might as well kill himself!

Really!

“Sect Leader, why are you so angry?”

A clear voice entered his ears. Zheng Lun was shocked. He turned around and looked around, but he could not tell the direction of the voice.

Li Changshou chuckled and the paper effigy appeared from the corner of the tent.

He had actually thought about it carefully when he addressed him as Sect Leader. Although Zheng Lun had already reincarnated, his memories had yet to fade because the Netherworld had given him mercy. Moreover, he had continued to follow the previous path and became Perfected Du'e's disciple. Previously, he had been active in the social circle of the immortals of Kunlun Mountain.

If he did not call him Sect Leader, Zheng Lun would have to call him Uncle-Master. That would be a little awkward.

Upon seeing Li Changshou's figure, Zheng Lun hurriedly stood up. He first casually set up a barrier to prevent others from seeing him. Then, he immediately bowed to Li Changshou.

“Greetings, Lord Taibai Jinxing.”

Li Changshou cupped his hands and bowed. He smiled and said, “Sect Leader, there's no need to be so polite. I just passed by and came to visit.”

Zheng Lun did not hesitate. He made an inviting gesture and smiled. “Sit here, Lord Taibai Jinxing. It's been a long time since we last met. Let's have a good chat.”

“Alright.” Li Changshou agreed and sat beside Zheng Lun. He looked at the fruit plate floating beside Zheng Lun and did not look at it carefully. He casually picked up a grape and threw it into his mouth.

That was actually a detail to express their relationship.

However, when the grape entered his mouth, Li Changshou took a bite and frowned at Zheng Lun. He wanted to say something but hesitated. However, he still silently finished the grape and swallowed it…

“Sect Leader, when did you have such preferences? Ahem, ahem.”

“Hahaha! I'm free. I'll give it a try!”

Zheng Lun waved his hand and laughed. He made a careless mistake and changed the topic calmly.

“Lord Taibai Jinxing, where are you going? Why are you passing by?”

“Actually, I was attracted by the battle here.” Li Changshou looked at Zheng Lun and said seriously, “Why is the Sect Leader involved in such a mortal battle?”

“Ah…”

Zheng Lun heaved a long sigh. He had nowhere to go to complain. He immediately picked up a grape and placed it in his mouth. With a mouth full of sawdust, he began to narrate his previous encounter.

Li Changshou frowned slightly.

Is it really a coincidence?

“Sect Leader, do you still remember what thoughts you had when you decided to stay in Ji Prefecture?”

“Thoughts?” Zheng Lun thought about it carefully. “I don't have any thoughts. I just feel that this place is not bad. It can be considered fate with me. Why don't we wait here and see what the subsequent calamity will be like?”

Li Changshou could not help but fall into deep thought.

He did not interfere much with the Sect Leader's life after reincarnation, so he could not say that the Heavenly Dao was restrained.

According to the Sect Leader's words, the Sect Leader did not feel that he had been schemed against. All his thoughts were from his heart. He did everything according to his heart.

Coincidence?

It was not entirely true. It should be said that it was the destiny of the living beings of the Primordial World.

The operation of the Great Tribulation affected the luck of living beings. In a quiet manner, everything was arranged and formed the script of the Heavenly Dao.

That was the true terror of the Heavenly Dao.

Li Changshou sat opposite Zheng Lun and pondered for a while. Soon, his expression changed. He chatted with Zheng Lun about interesting things in the Ji Prefecture.

Li Changshou naturally knew that soon, immortals from Jie School would come to help Chong Houhu. That person was Chong Heihu, Chong Houhu's younger brother. Previously, he had been secretly taken away by the immortals from Jie School. In the past two years, he had just been sent back to the South Continent to be an official and cultivated some Dharma spells.

If Zheng Lun did not attack later, Chong Heihu could easily win and facilitate Da Ji's entry into the palace.

Look at how bored the Sect Leader is…

He probably did not want to get involved.

After the plate of fruits was finished by Zheng Lun, Li Changshou stood up and bade farewell. He reminded Zheng Lun that protecting himself was the first priority in the Great Tribulation. At the crucial moment, he shouted the name of the disciples of Ren School.

Zheng Lun naturally agreed. After sending Li Changshou off, he turned around and retched.

It was just a wooden table.

Chong Houhu is really useless. He caused me to be in such a sorry state and almost embarrassed me in front of Changshou!

Zheng Lun gritted his teeth and made up his mind!

I'll bet on this basin this time!

The Ji Prefecture can still last for at least three more rounds! Otherwise, I will take this copper basin and eat it!

The Ji Prefecture had just won. The morale of the troops was raised, and the vassals cheered. However Chong Houhu was reinvigorated and quickly came over. His younger brother, Chong Heihu, rushed over to help. Su Hu was afraid of the rumors regarding Chong Heihu. He wanted to guard the city and wait for the marquises to come to their aid.

His son, Su Quanzhong, was determined to send troops to fight. He could not argue with Su Hu and secretly led the army out of the city to fight for the captured Chong Heihu.

Chong Houhu used his eldest son, Su Quanzhong, as a threat. Chong Heihu was ferocious. Su Hu was disheartened. He held his sword and walked to the backyard. He wanted to kill his wife and daughter and then commit suicide to sue the common people.

However, his daughter was very beautiful. Su Hu could not kill her. He felt even more depressed. He could only secretly ask Ji Chang, the Marquis of the West, for help, and offer his daughter to Di Xin.

On a certain night, in the place where the troops sent by Ji Prefecture had set up their camp, a certain General of the Ji Prefecture hugged a face basin. Saliva entered his eyes and he silently tore the copper basin into strips.

If he went back on his word, how could his Dao heart be firm!?!

Li Changshou, who was hiding underground, saw that scene and could not help but fall into deep thought.

Is this how you cultivate the ‘Hmph' technique?

It was extraordinary.

“Sister, are you really not going to interfere in this matter?”

Three-Immortal Island, a place filled with clouds.

At the end of a corridor, Qiong Xiao sat on a stone stool and asked.

At the side, Yun Xiao faced the sea of clouds and fog lake and said softly, “Everything is fine. Why should I worry? Didn't Sister Ling'e say very clearly that Fairy Heng'e had gone to see him because of something urgent?”

Qiong Xiao snorted. “I don't think he would dare to have any improper thoughts! However, if you don't express your stand, he might be testing your limits. Why don't we take this opportunity to blow things up and remind those women who are coveting Brother-in-law!?!”

Yun Xiao smiled helplessly and returned to the stone table to take a seat.

Bi Xiao carried a jade tray and rode a cloud from afar. There was freshly brewed wine inside.

Yun Xiao said gently, “Previously, you and I saw the matter regarding the human race from Teacher. He is also involved. He should still be worried. The human torch seems to have been passed to him. This burden must be quite heavy.”

“The human race… Forget it.” Qiong Xiao shook her head. “I don't understand what the human race is thinking. They are indeed quite powerful. Ever since ancient times, they survived that difficult period and jumped to become the main characters of the world.”

Bi Xiao's laughter came from the side. “Why are you talking about such a serious matter?”

“Let's not talk about this matter,” Yun Xiao said. “The three of us have not gathered like this for a long time. Today, we shall drink and have fun. We cannot get drunk. It'll help you resolve the worries and frustration of not being able to go out.”

Qiong Xiao squinted and chuckled. “Who wants to relieve the worries of not being able to go out, Sister ~”

Yun Xiao squinted and lowered her head to drink.

“Ah…”

Yun Xiao picked up the jade cup in front of her and slowly moistened it between her lips. She could not help but be in a daze.

However, the cup was only half-filled with wine. Before the words could touch their hearts, the clouds outside the Three-Immortal Island surged. A familiar aura found its way into the island and rushed over. He frowned.

Yun Xiao put down her wine glass and stood up to welcome him. She called out to her two sisters.

It was naturally Zhao Gongming.
