Several dragon masters, after handing over their respective dragon balls, were taken to the prison of the war fortress and imprisoned. Without the power of the Dragon Ball, they were left with pure physical strength, and it was difficult to make any waves under the supervision of the Lin family siblings.
Of course, there are also prisons for prisoners and prisoners on the Tongtian Peak of Yuqing Sect. However, when Ye Zan was repairing Tongtian Peak, due to various constraints, the prison was not completely completed. After all, given the situation of the Yuqing Sect at that time, it was never thought that prisoners of this level would be imprisoned. Good things should be used in urgent need first.
Several powerful dragon clan officials were escorted away. Mo Rusi and others looked at the dragon balls suspended in mid-air in the main hall, with complex expressions on their faces. On the one hand, they are still able to defeat such a powerful enemy. This feeling of "weak" defeating strong is still very encouraging. But on the other hand, they are also worried about how the Yuqing Sect will respond next after the Dragon Clan is angered.
That's right, more than 10,000 suspended turrets helped Yuqingzong block the attack of the Dragon Tribe's vanguard, and also captured several Dragon Tribe powerful men. However, the captured dragons are probably only at the bottom of the dragon army in terms of strength. And next, maybe in just over a month, the dragon clan's large army will arrive, and that will be the time when the fate of the Yuqing Sect will be truly decided.
"Your Majesty, does it seem inappropriate for us to treat those dragons like this?" Wu Changsheng asked Ye Zan with a grimace.
In the view of Wu Changsheng and others, having these Dragon Clan prisoners in their hands can be used as a condition for peace talks with the Dragon Clan. But now, Ye Zan actually forced the other party to hand over the Dragon Ball. Although he still kept the other party's life, it may still be difficult for the Dragon Clan to explain.
You can't blame Wu Changsheng and others for being weak, or for being timid. After all, depending on where you stand, you will think about things from different angles. As the leader of the Yuqing Sect, Wu Changsheng's most important responsibility is to maintain the inheritance of the Yuqing Sect's orthodoxy, so everything must first consider the consequences of failure. As the leader of a sect, everything is about "stability" first, and the most taboo is the all-or-nothing gambler's behavior.
Of course, Ye Zan is not a gambler. The reason why he chose this way is because he has enough confidence. However, the conditions under which faith appears in everyone's heart are different. For some people, being 50% sure of success in something is enough to generate confidence. But there are still some people who, even if something is 90% sure of success, will still worry about the 10% failure, making it difficult to have confidence.
Ye Zan's confidence does not come from a 50% certainty of success, but rather a close to 100% certainty. But his 100% certainty was calculated based on a combination of various conditions, and it would not be truly foolproof until the end. Moreover, he could not explain some of these things in detail to others. And for others, no matter how much he talks, it can only be regarded as theoretical stuff.
"There's nothing wrong with it. The Dragon Clan attacked our sect without any reason, and they will naturally have to compensate for our sect's losses." Ye Zan said nonchalantly.
Ye Zan has no disdain for the timidity of Wu Changsheng, Mo Rushi and others. After all, they were worried about the future of Yu Qingzong, which is why they behaved like this, which may not look good. In fact, if it comes to the life and death of the Yuqing Sect, the will of these people to live and die with the Yuqing Sect is probably far beyond that of Ye Zan.
"Your Majesty, after all, the Dragon Clan is very honorable. When we captured those Dragon Clan, we have already made them lose face. Now that we have taken their Dragon Balls... will it irritate them even more!" Mo Ru said. It relieved everyone's worries.
Ye Zan smiled, reached out and took a dragon ball into his palm, looked at the brilliance of the dragon ball, and said: "Provoking them... will definitely anger them, and this is the real purpose of asking them to hand over the dragon ball."
You must know that the great masters of the Dragon Clan all have Dharma-level strength. Naturally, these Dragon Balls also have this level of strength. However, even the Dragon Ball with Dharma-level power can only be regarded as a very powerful thing relative to an individual. Compared with the Jade Qing Sect's Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Suppressing Formation, and the energy consumed by those suspended turrets, it is only a very insignificant thing.
Just put it this way, if the more than 10,000 suspended turrets were completely powered by such a dragon ball, I am afraid that the dragon ball would be reduced to slag in the blink of an eye. Therefore, the few dragon balls that Ye Zan forced to come to do not play much practical role in the entire multi-turret defense system.
If that's the case, why does Ye Zan still ask for these dragon balls
As Ye Zan said, the real purpose of these dragon beads is not to make up for the consumption of mana and spiritual energy, but to anger the dragon clan.
"Annoy them?" When Mo Rushi and others heard Ye Zan's answer, everyone seemed a little hard to understand.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for the Yuqing Sect to completely wipe out the Dragon Clan no matter what. Don't say you don't have that ability, even if you really have that ability, it still depends on whether Xianting will agree. Therefore, when this matter comes to an end, the two families still have to sit down and talk, it just depends on who takes the initiative.
Since we have to sit down and talk in the end, it is best to leave some room for each other when we fight.
It's like two people fighting. You push me and I push you. No one has suffered any substantial damage, so it is easy to be persuaded to leave. But if you slap me on the face, I can't sit down and talk to you without giving you a slap on the face.
Therefore, in the consideration of Mo Rushi and others, it is really not a good thing to anger the opponent like this.
Ye Zan put away all the dragon balls, then turned around and explained further: "Only by irritating them can they come up and fight us. You don't want to be besieged by them for several years or more."
Although the Yuqing Sect has a teleportation array, it will not affect anything even if it is trapped, and there are also suspended turrets to push the enemy far away. However, if the Dragon Clan really wants to be surrounded from a distance, the Yuqing Sect will definitely be affected to some extent, and even the Dragon Clan may not dare to get close to the front of the formation.
Moreover, when being besieged, the formation needs to keep running, the suspended turrets need to be alert, and everyone must be on the same string at all times. That kind of life, regardless of whether it is tiring in daily life, no one can say that it really has no impact on the practice of the Yuqing disciples.
"At the beginning, when I took out the floating turret, I once said that if the invading enemy is blocked at a distance, even if it is surrounded, it will have no impact. However, if we can not be surrounded and can solve the Dragon Clan's problem in a short time, then of course it is better to do it sooner. It's better to solve it. I will add these dragons to the big formation later, not to increase their power, just to let the dragons and others see it. If this is the case, the dragons can bear to surround us. There is no worse impact." Ye Zan fully stated his plan, which was to use the Dragon Ball to force the Dragon Clan to make a choice.
This is easy to understand. The dragons of the same clan were joined by the other party in the formation. This was undoubtedly a naked slap in the face to the dragons. Then, with the arrogant temperament of the dragon clan, I am afraid that they will not be able to swallow this breath no matter what. If they choose to besiege Yu Qingzong, they will be slapped on the face every day.
However, in order to prevent the Dragon Clan from really losing their minds, Ye Zan did not forcibly deprive the captives of their Dragon Balls, but asked them to hand over the Dragon Balls on their own initiative. In this way, the dragon ball will still have their life breath on it, and the dragon clan will also have the ability to judge whether the owner of the dragon ball is alive or dead, so that they will not really fight against Yu Qingzong regardless of the consequences.
Of course, even if these prisoners are really dead, it is actually impossible to say whether the Dragon Clan will really fight against the Yuqing Sect. After all, the Dragon Clan does not have the tradition of "I would rather live in pieces than in pieces". In fact, in many aspects, it is very similar to the temperament of the Human Clan.
After listening to Ye Zan's explanation, although Mo Rushi and others were still not completely relieved, they could only express their approval and said one after another: "I will leave everything to the Supreme Lord's arrangement!"
After the meeting, Ye Zan asked Ye Ping'an to lead the team to continue refining the suspended turret. After some calculations, Ye Zan put a few dragon beads into the mountain protection formation. The few dragon balls in the formation have no unnecessary function. They are to provide energy for some floating turrets to a certain extent, which can be regarded as saving some money for Yu Qingzong.
In fact, using dragon balls to power the floating turret has no special benefits other than angering the dragon clan. You must know that the suspended turret uses the power of the formation to launch some special forces in the formation, and it can also use cannon light to form a formation. However, the power of Dragon Ball is single after all, it is just like having a few more batteries.
After making these arrangements, Ye Zan returned to the war fortress and began to study the dragon captives.
Strictly speaking, those dragon beads were borrowed and could not be regarded as Ye Zan's real gain. At the end of the day, when the Yuqing Sect and the Dragon Clan sit down to talk, the dragon beads will definitely be returned to the captives.
For Ye Zan, those dragon captives were the real gain from this battle. Of course, this harvest is not about what can be done with a few prisoners, but what Ye Zan can learn from them.
You know, it has been a long time since the Dragon Clan moved to the Yunhai Realm, and there has been no real dragon in the outside world for a long time. If it weren't for this opportunity, even if Ye Zan wanted to study the dragon clan, there would be nothing to study. As for his son and daughter, as well as his eldest disciple Shi Lin, compared with the real dragons of the Dragon Clan, they are still different.
Moreover, the main reason why Ye Zan wanted to study the dragon clan was because of these three little guys.
After all, until now, the three little guys have no real practice method that is completely suitable for their own situation. It's easy for Xiaoba to get down. He just relies on the merit provided by the Merit Monument and his own talent for carrying weights. There is no problem in steadily improving his strength. However, the same cannot be said for Little Lolita and Shi Lin. One transformed from a python into a dragon but became half-dragon and half-human, and the other has the blood of a Western dragon in his body.
Therefore, Ye Zan hopes to find a practice method suitable for little Lolita and Shilin through research on the dragon clan. Even if he couldn't find a way to practice, he could still try to extract the dragon's true dragon blood from a few dragon captives, which might also be helpful to Little Loli and Shi Lin.
Of course, when studying several prisoners of the Dragon Clan, it is better to keep this matter as confidential as possible, especially if the Dragon Clan does not have any leverage afterwards. And those dragon captives, after handing over their dragon balls, only had the strength of their physical bodies, so they naturally had to deal with it more.
Ye Zan was at the research center and began to study the dragon captives, while the East China Sea side had already received news of the defeat of the Suijiang Dragon King and his party, as expected.
In the East China Sea Dragon Palace, many great masters of the dragon clan gathered in the palace, and it could be said that they watched the Suijiang Dragon King and his entourage being defeated. There was no need for the Dragon King of Suijiang to flee back to report the news. Those powerful dragon clan officials were already so angry that they wanted to kill the Yuqing Sect.
"This Jade Qing Sect actually dares to be an enemy of our clan. It is simply a fool's errand!" A dragon clan powerful man roared extremely irritably.
The Dragon Clan does not use too many curse words, greeting parents, family members, eighteen generations of ancestors, etc. This can be said to be the unique "culture" of the human race. Who would be so thoughtful about swearing? To put it bluntly, there is no other way to express the resentment in your heart except to curse people, so you can only use all kinds of curses.
The Dragon Clan has always been strong. If anyone is unhappy, they will just "do it". There is no need to spend time on "scold". As for the fact that they were "oppressed" by the Immortal Court, their fellow tribesmen were often dragged to the dragon cutting platform, and they did not dare to scold the Immortal Court. You know, when you reach the level of "immortal", you are already being sensed by heaven and humans. If you do anything disrespectful here, others will be able to sense it.
But this time, the Dragon Clan finally realized how frustrating it was to not curse people in different ways. Being slapped in the face by Yu Qingzong, if the anger in their hearts were released, they would probably boil the East China Sea dry, but there was no way to release it.
"In my opinion, we don't have to wait for Ao Hong to come back. We should immediately leave for the Yuqing Sect and teach these ants who don't know the heights of the world a lesson!" Another dragon clan master did not yell, but rolled up his sleeves and told the crowd. A fellow member suggested.
"I don't think it's appropriate!" A powerful dragon from the opposite side shook his head and said.
"I think we should use thunderous means!" Some powerful dragon clan members also expressed their agreement.
"Okay, stop arguing!" The leader of the dragon clan finally spoke to stop the dragons, then stood up and said: "This matter is related to the face of our clan, and it is also related to our clan's return. The attitudes of various realms towards our clan! How can the Yuqing Sect establish its authority for our clan if it doesn’t have enough strength!”
