Ji Yuan was shocked, but he quickly rejected his ridiculous idea. Just as he had analyzed before, even if the other party wanted to attack the Four Seas Dragon Clan, they would not be able to do it too directly. It is more likely that they wanted to test the current situation of the Four Seas Dragon Clan.
Fundamentally speaking, if one wants to subvert the world, the Four Seas Dragon Clan, which can almost be regarded as the foundation of the four seas, is an obstacle that cannot be avoided. And it just so happens that the dragon girl has successfully transformed into a dragon, so of course she cannot give up the right opportunity.
Of course, all this is based on the fact that Ji Yuan's most exaggerated conjecture is true. In fact, it is more likely that the Dragon Girl has an enemy or someone in the Dragon Clan deliberately pushed this matter. This is theoretically true...
But after Ji Yuan expressed his guess, he and Lao Long could no longer ignore this possibility.
After a long time, Lao Long looked at the turbulent surface of Tongtian River and said softly.
"My dragon clan has been investigating the origins of the dragon corpse worm for many years, but we have never found any valuable clues. The clues I found when I went to the desolate sea with Mr. Ji last time were the biggest breakthrough... What Mr. Ji said today makes me feel uneasy!"
"Isn't it the same for Ji?"
Ji Yuan sighed, looked at Lao Long, and spoke in a very serious tone.
"Whoever is behind this and has caused so many water creatures to think of forcing the emperor to abdicate must be found. Although I think that the other party may have thought of this at some point because of something seemingly unintentional, this clue must not be given up."
"Well, you don't need me to tell you. I will get to the bottom of this. But as for Ruoli..."
"Since we have made up our minds to open up the desolate sea, we can only do this according to the rules of the Dragon Clan. However, Mr. Ying also needs to spend more time with his old friends in the Dragon Clan."
After Ji Yuan finished speaking, Lao Long did not respond immediately. Neither of them spoke. Ji Yuan knew that Lao Long must have heard it. As for whether there was something going on within the dragon clan, the other party would definitely have thought about it, so he did not dare to ask further.
"I'll do my best."
After a long time, Lao Long said this, and then he let out a long breath. The surface of Tongtian River was covered with a layer of mist because of this breath.
"Let's go back. Although you and I are not the protagonists of the Dragon Transformation Banquet, it is still not appropriate for us to leave the table for too long."
"Um."
After saying that, Ji Yuan and Lao Long stepped into the river together, and slowly walked to the bottom of the river in the waves that separated on both sides.
At the Dragon Transformation Banquet, as soon as Ji Yuan left, Xiezhi started to instigate Hu Yun? He asked him to bring the pot of wine on Ji Yuan's table so that his master could have a few drinks. However, Hu Yun didn't dare to do anything, after all, his cheap master didn't do anything himself.
After the dance music in the hall changed three times and the dancers also changed, Ji Yuan walked in alone from outside the hall. And on the table next to the dragon girl, the old dragon who had been squinting his eyes also opened his eyes and drank the glass of wine in his hand.
"Well, this dance music is quite acceptable!"
The dragon mother next to the old dragon's eyebrow twitched, and glanced at the old dragon. Even though she knew that her husband must have cast a spell to shed his shell and went out, she looked at the dancers in the hall at the moment, each of them was very revealing and coquettish.
"snort!"
A cold snort from his wife made the old dragon smile. He personally picked up a few pieces of food for his wife's bowl. This act of affection made the dragon son on the side smile secretly, and also brought a smile to the face of the always indifferent dragon girl.
On Ji Yuan's side, Xiezhi still hadn't given up his desire for ambergris. Seeing that Hu Yun was unwilling to help him get it before, it waited for Ji Yuan to come back and walked up, sitting down next to Ji Yuan with an empty wine glass.
"Ji Yuan, this is ambergris, right?"
Ji Yuan didn't wait for Xiezhi to say the second sentence and poured him a cup directly. He had just cheated Xiezhi a little bit, so he didn't mind giving him the whole pot of ambergris.
After pouring this cup, Ji Yuan took out his emerald green thousand-bucket pot and used the wine jug filled with ambergris to pour wine into the thousand-bucket pot. After pouring out about two-thirds of the wine, he weighed the wine jug and handed it to Xiezhi.
"This half pot is for Mr. Xie. You can drink it or keep it, drink it yourself or give it to others. It's all up to you."
Xiezhi was surprised. He thought he would have to talk a lot to get a drink, but he didn't expect Ji Yuan to be so generous and give him so much directly. He picked up the wine pot and weighed it. Although it was definitely not half a pot, it was definitely not a small amount. After all, the wine pot was not small.
"Not bad, not bad. I'll be disrespectful to refuse then! Hehe!"
Xiezhi took the wine jug with a smile, glanced at Ji Yuan's cup, and seeing that it was still full, he gave up the idea of pouring another glass for him. After nodding to Yin Zhaoxian, he stood up and returned to his seat.
"Hu Yun, come here!"
Hu Yun's eyes lit up, and he ran over with the wine glass and stood obediently beside Xiezhi's table.
"Hey, you're quite clever. Don't say that Master doesn't take care of you. You must know how precious this wine is. I'll give it to you to have a taste!"
As he said that, Xiezhi poured a glass for Hu Yun. Du Changsheng on the side watched eagerly, but unfortunately Xiezhi stopped there and hid the wine jug. He didn't even refill his own glass, and it was obviously impossible for him to pour wine for Master Du.
The old beggar and his two disciples did not come to the place where the monks of Qianyuan Sect were. However, even so, they paid much attention to Ji Yuan, and also paid close attention to the forces within the palace that were within the Dazhen area.
"Brother, most of the people from the places mentioned by the headmaster are here, but the people from the sixth place are not here. They didn't even come to congratulate at the Dragon Transformation Banquet. What a big airs."
"That's not clear. Maybe he has already visited the Dragon Palace in private."
"Brothers, when can we leave? I'm on pins and needles here!"
The cultivators of Qianyuan Sect obviously did not like this kind of occasion, especially being surrounded by several real dragons. It was really too depressing. In fact, there were not many places where they could relax. Except for those around the real dragons and Ji Yuan, many people were suppressed by the dragon's might. At the Dragon Transformation Banquet, although the real dragons restrained some of their own dragon might, it was not invisible at all.
"The banquet was supposed to last for several days, but something unexpected happened today. I expected it to be a short break and resume tomorrow, but after tonight, it won't matter if we don't attend the rest of the banquet."
"Well, that's good. It's worth coming here..."
"Be careful with your words!" "Yes..."
There are many forces on the shore who have similar ideas to the monks of Qianyuan Sect, and many ghosts and gods also have such ideas.
As expected by a real person from the Qianyuan Sect, tonight's banquet lasted until before dawn and ended. It did not continue, but it was also made clear that the banquet was not over. There will be a banquet tomorrow after the banquet today. The Dragon Palace also arranged resting places for many guests.
After the dancers in the hall left the stage one after another, all the guests saluted to the Dragon Girl and then slowly left the main hall. The same went for the other side halls. However, the banquet along the river outside the Dragon Palace did not stop and would continue.
Many people were leaving the table, but Ji Yuan did not move. Instead, he was fiddling with a few copper coins on the table, as if he was deducing something. Some guests knew the relationship between Mr. Ji and Ying, and thought that he had something to say, so they did not dare to disturb Ji Yuan's deduction.
Therefore, many guests would deliberately pass by Ji Yuan's seat, but they would only leave after paying their respects to Ji Yuan and Yin Zhaoxian. Soon the main hall became empty.
"Mr. Ji, can I take Yin Qing to find Qing Qing?"
Hu Yun and Yin Qing have not forgotten about the big bluefish, and the Dazhen envoys will definitely participate in the entire Dragon Transformation Banquet and it is impossible for them to leave early.
"Go ahead. Bai Qi is waiting outside the palace. Ask him to take you there."
"Okay!" "Mr. Ji, Dad, Yin Qing will take his leave first!"
Yin Zhaoxian smiled and nodded, while Ji Yuan waved his hand and continued to fiddle with the coins on the table.
Du Changsheng, several Heavenly Masters, and other officials of Dazhen were feeling a little uneasy at this moment. There were fewer and fewer guests in the hall, and it was becoming more and more empty. They felt more and more out of place here. However, a Mr. Ji was fiddling with copper coins, and a Lord Yin was watching curiously on the side, and neither of them seemed to have any intention of standing up.
Some officials repeatedly winked at Du Changsheng, apparently begging the Imperial Master to speak. The latter hesitated and was about to speak, but saw several guests with ghostly looks and pale faces slowly walking to the table.
A group of ghost cultivators were waiting quietly ten feet away from the table, not daring to interrupt Ji Yuan from fiddling with the coins. After waiting for a long while, Ji Yuan stopped looking at the coins and raised his head.
"What do you want?"
"The netherworld." "The netherworld human." "The netherworld ghost."
"Meet Mr. Ji!"
The three leading ghost cultivators who were not wearing armor saluted Ji Yuan together. Ji Yuan looked at the three of them thoughtfully.
"The underworld?"
It is a bit absurd that Yincao came to attend the Dragon Transformation Banquet instead of staying in the main hall of the Netherworld. However, it is probably because these three people are more outstanding, Ji Yuan extended his imagination.
"As expected of Mr. Ji, the emperor was quite pleased with himself after thinking of this name. I didn't expect that Mr. Ji already knew it without even asking. Sure enough, between heaven and earth..."
Emperor? Emperor of the Netherworld? Xin Wuya had given himself a resounding and impressive title, but Ji Yuan was in no mood to listen to flattery and interrupted him directly.
"Okay, let's get to the point. I don't like to hear flattery."
The three underworld officials hurriedly said "yes" and then the underworld official in the middle spoke.
"Replying to Mr. Ji, my Netherworld Hall has been put on the right track. The Emperor said that if anyone is lucky enough to meet you, he must invite you to take a look..."
"Well, anything else?"
The three Hades looked at each other, and it was still the Hades who continued.
"Also, we have discovered that in recent years, within the territory of Dazhen, there have been a series of cases where people with very similar souls were born after their death. There are about seven such cases recorded in the past two years, and they are very similar to what Mr. Ji described before!"
Ji Yuan became alert and asked immediately.
“Did these people have similar characteristics before they died?”
"Yes, six of these people were scholars before they died. If you have time, you can go to my Netherworld Main Hall to check the files!"
Ji Yuan nodded.
"Well, anything else?"
"There is nothing else to do. I dare not disturb you, sir. I will take my leave now!"
The three underworld cultivators, along with a group of ghost cultivators, slowly retreated towards Ji Yuan. After they were at a certain distance, they walked towards the entrance of the hall. Once the ghost cultivators left, Ji Yuan was the only guest left in the hall, and the others who were closest to him had also reached the entrance.
"Mr. Ji, Yin has also gone to rest."
"Well, Master Yin, go first, Ji Yuan will visit later."
"Okay, don't break your promise!"
At this time Yin Zhaoxian also stood up. The officials beside him felt as if they had been pardoned. After paying their respects to Ji Yuan, they hurriedly left with Yin Zhaoxian.
Now, Ji Yuan was the only guest left in the main hall of the Dragon Palace, and even the old dragon’s family left at the beginning.
Of course, there were also some fish ladies cleaning up the tables and cups.
Ji Yuan was fiddling with the magic money on the table. Although he kept his head down, he was actually paying attention to everything that was happening in the hall. After everyone left, he sat there for a long time without getting up.
'No one came?'
Ji Yuan was waiting for a possible person to show up, but he didn't know who it was. What he knew was that he, a casual immortal cultivator, was definitely one of the most worthy people to contact in this world, and the Dragon Transformation Banquet was an opportunity.
