"Immorted at the second level at the bottom of Longyuan, why do you have such doubts?" Ao Guang asked doubtfully.
"When I was on my way back to Dragon Palace with Shen Luo, we were attacked by a giant monster from the abyss. At that time, we thought that Dragon Abyss had been lost and the monster had escaped." Ao Hong said immediately.
"What did you say?" Ao Guang's expression suddenly became solemn.
The expressions of Yuan Lu and other civil and military officials also changed. In their minds, they still had memories of the giant monster from the abyss wreaking havoc in the East China Sea, and they couldn't help but reveal a bit of panic in their eyes.
"Are you sure it's the giant monster from the abyss?" Ao Guang leaned forward slightly and asked with a frown.
"I'm not mistaken. Fellow Daoist Shen has also fought with him and smashed one of his heads." Ao Hong said.
When everyone heard this, their eyes all fell on Shen Luo.
"That guy has a human face and a snake body, and one of his heads is a hundred feet long. He is very powerful. After I smashed one of his heads, he quickly retreated." Shen Luo had no choice but to step forward and said.
"What a joke! If it really is the giant monster from the abyss, can you repel it by yourself?" Ao Zhong sneered when he heard this.
The others also started talking about it, and it was clear that they didn't believe it either.
Yuan Lu had his hands behind his back, his head down and not saying a word, as if he was thinking about something.
"There are powerful restrictions within Longyuan, and it has been closed for many years. I have never heard of any monster escaping. This time, the Ninth Prince must have encountered some other monster and misunderstood." The clam spirit said.
"Everyone, what we said is absolutely true. If you don't believe it, you can send people to the depths of Longyuan to check. If the giant monster in the abyss is gone, it will be enough to prove that what we said is true." Ao Hong said.
"The matter of Longyuan is of great importance. Since Hong'er said that he was attacked by a giant monster from the abyss, he should go to the depths of Longyuan to investigate in person to find out the truth. The matter of the Dragon King's succession to the throne will be discussed after the Longyuan investigation is completed." Ao Guang spoke after a long silence.
"Father, I want to go with you to investigate." Ao Zhong stepped forward and clasped his fists.
Ao Guang looked hesitant when he heard this.
"Father, if something happens in Longyuan, it will be very risky for my ninth brother to go alone. I can go with you so that you can take care of him." Ao Zhong said again.
"I am willing to go too." Qing Chi and Ao Xin said in unison.
"Okay, in that case, you all go together." Ao Guang nodded upon seeing this.
"Father, I request that Shen Luo be allowed to go with me." Ao Hong said.
"How can we allow human beings to set foot on Longyuan, a sacred place?" Ao Zhong immediately rebuked after hearing this.
"Now that the demons are fighting each other, why bother to distinguish between humans and dragons? Since Young Friend Shen has repelled the giant monster from the abyss before, let him go with us. Remember, after entering the abyss, no matter what happens, you must work together." Ao Guang warned.
"I obey your command." Ao Hong and Ao Zhong looked at each other and clasped their fists at the same time.
"Okay, go ahead." Ao Guang waved his hand, looking a little tired.
Everyone took the order and left. Except for the eldest princess Ao Yue, everyone slowly left the hall.
"My two princes, shall we take Fellow Daoist Shen and Ao Xin to the treasury to select treasures?" Yuan Lu raised his long eyebrows slightly and asked Ao Hong and the others for instructions.
