Golden Ray Dragon King’s fierce gaze seemed to be capable of penetrating through the starry galaxy, seeing through all profound mysteries of the universe. His gaze shot directly through Qin Wushuang’s heart. After his gaze lingered on Qin Wushuang for a moment, he finally said with an indifferent tone, “For at least a thousand years, no such young man has ever come out of the Xuan Yuan Mound like you.”

After a brief pause, he added, “This would include totem disciples…”

Initially, it was an incredibly honorable thing to receive praise from the Golden Ray Dragon King. However, under such circumstances, like an ancient well not a single feeling rippled through Qin Wushuang’s body. He knew that now was not the time to be cocky and proud of himself.

On the contrary, when others heard the words of the Golden Ray Dragon King, they were incredibly shocked, including Long Dabao of the Coiled Dragon Clan who shot a few extra astonished glances at Qin Wushuang.

For the elite warriors of the Jackal and Wolf Clan, and the Musical Dragon Clan, they seemed to have complicated looks.

Without a doubt, they still felt extremely upset by the approving words said by Golden Ray Dragon King.

However, Golden Ray Dragon King changed his tone. “My Forefather Dragon Clan of the Eastern Sea does not intend to interfere with your secular conflicts. I cannot give you special treatment because of your exceptional talent.”

When Qin Wushuang heard these words, he was not depressed, but was rather joyful. The meaning of these words were clear: The Forefather Dragon Clan would not find trouble with Qin Wushuang.

Although Qin Wushuang was still somewhat suspicious of why the Forefather Dragon Clan, who were usually xenophobic, changed their attitude greatly. Yet under the eyes of everyone, since Golden Ray Dragon King said these words, certainly he could not go back on them.

Looking around, Qin Wushuang could see the hostility in everyone’s eyes. As long as the Forefather Dragon Clan did not get involved, even if he was surrounded by elite warriors, he had the confidence to deal with them.

Upon hearing the tone of this Golden Ray Dragon King that appeared somewhat easy-going, the other martial artists all let out a sigh of relief. They thought inwardly, “If the Forefather Dragon Clan is not stepping in, does it mean that everyone shares an equal opportunity to deal with Qin Wushuang?”

Indeed, Golden Ray Dragon King said indifferently, “For you foreign martial artists, you are all notable figures from each of your Forbidden Spiritual Zones. If I am to blame you, it would make me appear narrow-minded. Anyways, since all of you have come with one goal in mind, my Endless Eastern Sea will make this exception. I will allow you to compete. However, there is one condition that you must obey. If any of you deliberately loot a burning house and act against this favor, the Forefather Dragon Clan will not take any consideration of your great background… I will make sure you are unable to return to your homeland!”

These guys were overjoyed at the unexpected turn of events as they heard these words. Clearly, they never expected this result. Initially they thought that even if the Forefather Dragon Clan did not go after the responsibility of how they crossed the border, at least they would deport them. Unexpectedly, he had given such a lenient treatment.

Each of them were overjoyed as they bowed. “Thank you Dragon King for your great generosity.”

A light smile revealed itself from the mouth of the Golden Ray Dragon King. He shot another glance at Qin Wushuang. “Son of the Qin Clan, are you dissatisfied with my decision?”

Qin Wushuang shrugged his shoulders with an indifferent expression. He said with a slight smile, “I am already extremely grateful that you did not look into my crime for entering without permission, your majesty. For anything else, how could I dare to harbor dissatisfaction? Besides, it’s only been a day or two that these guys have chased after me. Other than the meaningless pile of bones that keep piling up, what other gains could there be?”

When he said this, Qin Wushuang glanced across the entire scene with a matchless gaze through his eyes. Sweeping across the face of those Supreme Dao elite warriors, he raised the corner of his lips slightly and exhibited a divine attitude that was untamed.

Even Golden Ray Dragon King felt slightly uncomfortable. He thought that indeed, this young man was extraordinary. Even for totem disciples, it would be unknown whether they could remain this calm and composed while facing such a situation of being surrounded by so many enemies.

“It seems that the controller of the God Discarding Door, the ultimate controller of the Tian Xuan Land has their reasons to see good things for this young one.” Golden Ray Dragon King could not refrain from shooting a few extra glances at Qin Wushuang.

Although the Forefather Dragon Clan was prejudice, the Golden Ray Dragon King was the leader of the totem clan. Regardless of his breadth of mind, or the height of his stage, his insight surpassed ordinary people. Naturally, the things he was considering were much higher and possessed the general great point of view that others did not see.

“Yes, son of the Qin Clan, it’s rather nice for a young one to have your dynamism. However, you’ve created many sins at the Endless Eastern Sea. You must bear the cause and the fruit. For the dragon clans at the Endless Eastern Sea, regardless of whether or not they harbor grudges with you, I will not restrain their movements. Of course, they will be responsible for their actions. I will not look into whether they kill you or you kill them!”

These words were explicitly clear. The Forefather Dragon Clan would not forbid the eighteen dragon clans from dealing with Qin Wushuang nor shield them.

It was one word, he granted them freedom!

As soon as the Golden Ray Dragon King said these words, most of the eighteen dragon clans emerged the state of mind to give it a try. If they didn’t know that their main target was that Golden Ray Dragon King, most likely these people would have made the move on the scene.

Especially for the Musical Dragon Clan, due to the death of He Ziniu, it could be said that their resentment for Qin Wushuang could not be washed clean by all of the water in the Endless Eastern Sea.

For the Jackal Wolf Dragon Clan, as Shu Ya was chased to run away in an embarrassing state by Qin Wushuang, in terms of their breadth of mind, naturally they would wait for their opportunity to seek revenge.

For the Responding Dragon Clan, the Crocodile Dragon Clan, and the Demon Dragon Clan, due to the five missing Supreme Dao elite warriors, they counted this debt to Qin Wushuang naturally.

Qin Wushuang looked at his surroundings and only sneered. With rapt attention, he was in high alert.

He could already directly ignore the Coagulate Supreme Dao elite warriors; however, the problem now was that among these enemies full of hostility, there were many at the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage.

For those powerhouses that concealed their hostility and were ready to strike in secret, it was unknown how many Transformation Supreme Dao elite warriors were hidden.

One must say that currently, Qin Wushuang was in despair as he was surrounded by many enemies.

Even so, Qin Wushuang was fearless.

There was only one reason for it. From beginning to end, he had stayed in his original place and had seized an advantageous location. As soon as there was the slightest of movements, he would fly backwards into the Hibiscus Forest.

As long as he defended this only route that could enter the Hibiscus Forest, one man could hold the pass against thousands of enemies. It’d almost be impossible if these guys wanted to breakthrough his defense line.

After all, under such terrain, the power of the Graceful Spiritual Bow would increase ten times more. With only one trajectory, as soon as he launched an attack with the Graceful Spiritual Bow, they could either hold it off by force or hide to the two sides.

What was on either side? Space cracks and space whirlpools with an endless, powerful pull. Once a person was swallowed up, the survival rate of the Transformation Supreme Dao elite warriors would only be ten percent.

One at the Coagulate Supreme Dao could be said that they would face a certain death!

For the ten percent survival rate, each of these Transformation Supreme Dao were old guys and naturally knew the weight of this matter. Certainly they would not risk their lives easily.

Almost all the gazes were locked onto Golden Ray Dragon King. They awaited the next decision from him.

Golden Ray Dragon King fixed his gaze at the Hibiscus Forest and looked again at the surrounding terrain. He said slowly, “This Hibiscus Forest was the dwelling for the Golden Crow. Regardless if the rumor of the Golden Crow being revived is true or not, we must eradicate this Hibiscus Forest! To make the Golden Crow not have any dwelling, break their nest…”

Feeling stern inwardly, a burst of light shone from Qin Wushuang’s eyes. He looked at Golden Ray Dragon King and said, “Your majesty, the Golden Crow is the Golden Crow, and the Hibiscus Forest is the Hibiscus Forest. We cannot destroy the foundation of this immemorial Spiritual Tree Clan, the Hibiscus Forest, just because the Golden Crow is wreaking havoc.”

“Hm? You also know about the immemorial Spiritual Tree Clan?” Bursts of golden lights shone from Golden Ray Dragon King’s eyes. He stared at Qin Wushuang as if he could see through everything.

“Your majesty, please consider this further. Even if we destroy the Spiritual Tree Clan the revival of the Golden Crow will not be influenced by its destruction. In fact, I’ve already communicated with the Spiritual Tree Clan, they are already certain that indeed, the Golden Crow has been revived!”

“Indeed…” The complexion of the Golden Ray Dragon King changed slightly as his gaze immediately became alarmed. He gave the order, “The Golden Crow is already revived, so you must all be on extra alert. Since this Golden Crow just came back to life, surely its strength will not be as powerful as before. However, the growth speed of this Golden Crow is extremely fast… Perhaps three years, perhaps five years, they possess incredible evolution power. If it’s allowed to restore itself to its peak state from the immemorial era, the entire Tian Xuan Land will be no match for it. Unless we have the emergency of the Heavenly Supreme Dao elite warrior to lead the universe power, that is the only possible way to conquer this beast!”

“The most terrifying part is that during the immemorial era, there were as many as ten Golden Crows.” The Golden Ray Dragon King gave a slight sigh and looked at the Hibiscus Forest with determination.

“This Hibiscus Forest is the den of the Golden Cro, and also the capital that allows them to keep evolving. The Golden Crow’s entire body burns thoroughly. If it didn’t have the wood spiritual Qi from the Hibiscus Forest to suppress it, surely the Golden Crow will be in a situation of exploding with massive heat. Therefore, initially the existence of this Hibiscus Forest was not trouble, but once the Golden Crow appears, this Hibiscus Forest becomes an accomplice for them. Whether or not the Spiritual Tree Clan is willing, objectively, they are accomplices!”

“Your majesty, then what’s the problen with eradicating the Spiritual Tree Clan? Let’s move together and charge into the Hibiscus Forest. It will be as easy as blowing off dust to destroy it.”

A portion of the elite warriors from the eighteen dragon clans all opened their mouths to offer themselves for the assignment.

Qin Wushuang’s heart sank as he fixed his gaze on the Golden Ray Dragon King. Unconsciously, he took a few steps back and shouted, “Your majesty Dragon King, this Hibiscus Forest stays separate from secular affairs. If it gets involved because of the Golden Crow, that would not be fair!”

“Fair?” Golden Ray Dragon King’s tone was awe-inspiring and brimming with a sense of authority. “Across the boundless natural law, there is no absolute fairness. Through the conservation of the natural law, the loss will naturally get enumerated. This Hibiscus Forest should have been destroyed long ago… It’s already too late to destroy them today.”

“Yes, destroy the Hibiscus Forest!”

“Kid, if you knew the situation, hurry and get lost!”

Qin Wushuang roared out in laughter. “Your majesty, in this case, forgive me for being bold. Today, regardless of who stands before me, you must be prepared to face the attack from my Graceful Spiritual Bow if you want to enter the Hibiscus Forest!”

After he finished speaking, with a flash, he disappeared directly into the Hibiscus Forest.

Since Qin Wushuang withdrew the spiritual wood essence from the Spiritual Tree Clan, he had already formed a mutual connection with the Hibiscus Forest and traces of interconnection throughout his bloodline.

Additionally, this Hibiscus Forest was his only back route to escape from the current dire situation. Without the Hibiscus Forest, he would completely lose his escape route and surely, he would be overpowered.

Therefore, regardless of reason or passion, his fate and the destiny of the Hibiscus Forest were tightly integrated with one another.
