"That's right. That guy has great magical powers. We... can't defeat him." Shen Luo gritted his teeth and said according to Ao Hong's instructions.
"It's not easy to survive after fighting with this extremely evil creature. Thank you for saving my son's life. Although the Dragon Palace is in trouble now, we must be polite. I'll let Hong'er take you to the treasury later to choose a treasure as a thank you." After hearing this, Ao Guang thought silently for a moment and said.
When Shen Luo heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. After all, the Dragon Palace treasury was no ordinary place, and the things hidden there were definitely not ordinary. When the Monkey King Sun Wukong first showed his prowess, he also came to the Dragon Palace to borrow treasures.
"I dare not refuse the Dragon King's kindness, but I would be disrespectful to refuse it." Shen Luo clasped his fists and said.
"Ao Xin helped Zhong'er to repel the demons and retake the Dragon Palace this time. His contribution is invaluable. The same will be true later. Let Zhong'er take you to the treasury to choose a treasure as a reward." Ao Guang nodded, glanced at Ao Xin again, and said.
"Thank you, Dragon King." Upon hearing this, Ao Xin showed joy on his face and immediately clasped his fists.
"The world is in chaos today. The Heaven has fallen, and our Dragon Palace cannot escape the disaster. We are lucky to have successfully repelled the invasion of demons this time. I believe that these demons will make a comeback soon." Ao Guang's eyes sank slightly, and he said slowly.
"If they dare to attack again, I will make sure they never return." Upon hearing this, Ao Zhong immediately said in a low voice.
Ao Guang stopped talking, looked at him, and continued without saying anything:
"I was seriously injured in this fight with Kunpeng. It's too late to recover. It's only a matter of time before I run out of energy. But a country cannot be without a king, and a family cannot be without a master. After me, Dragon Palace needs someone to be the master."
As soon as these words were spoken, not only the people from the Dragon Palace present, but even Shen Luo's expression changed.
Although he could see that the Dragon King was seriously injured, he did not expect it to be so serious. He certainly did not expect Ao Guang to say such a thing in front of an outsider like him.
"Lord Dragon, we have plenty of elixirs and magic medicines in the Dragon Palace, you will be fine." The old Prime Minister Yuan Lu spoke first.
"Father..." Ao Zhong called in a low voice.
Ao Hong looked sad and opened his mouth but said nothing.
Ao Yue, who was standing behind the dragon chariot, just frowned slightly, as if he had already known about this.
"I know my injuries best, and you don't need to say anything more about this. What do you think about who can enter the Dragon Palace and command the descendants of the East China Sea?" Ao Guang waved his hand and said.
There was silence in the hall, and no one spoke.
After waiting for a long time, a voice came from behind the dragon chariot:
"Father, inheriting the throne of Dragon King and ruling the East Sea is not just about inheriting a position of power, but also about inheriting the soul of the Ancestral Dragon. This requires a person of exceptional talent. This position... should be taken by my ninth brother."
When everyone heard this, their eyes fell on Ao Yue, and they all seemed a little surprised.
Even Ao Hong himself did not seem to have expected why this elder sister, who was usually serious and hardly close to him, would take the initiative to support him to become the new Dragon King
"Princess, what you said is wrong. To lead the East China Sea, more than just talent is needed. Appointing talented people, commanding troops and commanding generals are also indispensable. The Ninth Prince has always been a free and easy person, so I'm afraid he is not a suitable candidate." A middle-aged general wearing bright red plate armor and with broad brows and eyes spoke up.
