Chapter 554: Storms in the Vast World (I)

Cangmang Realm.

It has been more than ten years since the Water Tribe’s Dan Appreciation Conference. For many cultivators, a period of seclusion is too short.

However, many people clearly feel that these ten years have been much more turbulent than before. The calamity of heaven and earth has risen, and the major factions have been attacking each other. The reason is that the Dragon King of the Water Tribe has changed, and the new generation of Dragon King, Ji Ying, has succeeded to the throne.

It is impossible for such a change of characters to be without some turbulence. Many people who usually have evil intentions want to take this opportunity to escape from the control of the Dragon Tribe.

However, this turbulence is much more intense than the succession of the Dragon King since the history of records.

There are many reasons, and several are analyzed.

First, the new Dragon King Ji Ying is not the person favored by the old Dragon King, and Ji Ying’s succession is controversial.

The old Dragon King originally favored the former crown prince. The former crown prince Ji Yuan is the only one among the princes who has been promoted to the position of Nascent Soul.

In order to support the former crown prince to ascend the throne, the old dragon king Ji Li worked hard to bring together various forces, but the old dragon king's efforts were vulnerable in the face of absolute strength.

Ji Ying achieved the position of sea god. Even if she did not ascend to the position of dragon king, she was still a first-class figure in the water tribe, and she was also supported by the water tribe's treasure, that is, the luck artifact-the four seas map.

Even the old dragon king could only recognize Ji Ying's legitimacy in the end. The royal family's selection of heirs is like refining poison. The one who stands at the end is the winner.

It is worth mentioning that the old dragon king was willing to give the position to Ji Ying, because only Ji Ying's strength could calm the situation and keep the water tribe in order.

Second, as mentioned above, Ji Ying was originally unknown. Even if she achieved the position of sea god, it was completely a coincidence. In the eyes of everyone, she was just a beautiful vase.

In the end, she actually achieved the position in one fell swoop, which greatly exceeded the original ideas of the bigwigs of the water tribe.

Different from the old Dragon King, these cave demon lords all said the same thing, that the Dragon King and the Sea God cannot be the same person, citing classics, making convincing arguments, and even bringing out the laws of their ancestors. They also asked the old Dragon Mother to come out and oppose Ji Ying becoming the new Dragon King.

Dissecting the so-called thousands of classics and ancestral laws, behind them is just a struggle for interests.

Even though the former prince has the cultivation of the Nascent Soul, in the eyes of several cave demon lords, he is nothing.

Once the old Dragon King is gone, the new Dragon King still has to rely on these old people to calm the situation. At that time, it is not a matter of course to take some benefits for their children and clans.

Ji Ying's rise to power is not a good thing for these big guys.

However, the old Dragon King Ji Li is already the peak of this world, and other demon lords tied together may not be the opponent of the old Dragon King.

Moreover, what kind of person is the old Dragon King? How could he not see the thoughts of these demon lords? He pushed Ji Ying to the top without any obstacles in the middle.

All reactionary forces are paper tigers, paper tigers are paper tigers, and they scare people with their fangs and claws.

Of course, things can't be so easy to pass. Without going through blood and fire, Ji Ying is destined to be unable to gain a firm foothold, which is the third point to be discussed next.

The old Dragon King received the decree from the upper realm and went to the upper realm. Ji Ying succeeded to the throne. At the beginning of his succession, there were many internal and external troubles, and there was a dead cycle trend of internal troubles leading to external troubles, and external troubles exacerbating internal troubles.

Talking about the specific performance, the Dragon King changed, and several small tribes that were not afraid of death rebelled against the water tribe, either gathered in a faction or defected to the Taoist sect.

A new official took office with three fires, let alone the Dragon King. Ji Ying followed the convention and sent several large tribes nearby to quell the rebellion. The comparison of military strength was more than three times, thinking of sweeping the courtyard and establishing his own prestige in one fell swoop.

If it was at the beginning of the reign of other dragon kings, such a small rebellion would be solved in minutes. However, what is incredible is that the water tribe army, which obviously has the advantage, often has problems, like a bloated fat man.

The rebellious tribe was not quickly eliminated as everyone expected, but instead fought a guerrilla war, becoming more and more courageous and powerful.

Ji Ying felt like someone spit on her face. She knew in her heart that those old men of the water tribe were doing bad things behind her back, and maybe her brothers and sisters were also involved.

If you don't wipe the spit on your face, your face will be dirty. If you wipe it, your hands will be dirty, and you will be neither human nor human. Could it be that a small rebellion requires the dragon tribe's own army to travel thousands of miles, and anti-aircraft guns can't be used to kill mosquitoes.

The commotion was so great that the court and the public were talking about it. Ji Ying had to wipe it out, but she did not take the upright path. She sent capable people to infiltrate the rebels and kill the leader. A bird cannot fly without a head. Once the leader is gone, the rebellion will be eliminated.

The means were not very bright, and it was inevitable that it would attract criticism, but at least the rebellion was eliminated. Ji Ying suppressed public opinion, and after a few days, the heat was gone.

In the first confrontation, there was no victory or defeat. Ji Ying lost face but won the inside, and took the opportunity to clean up. The good show is in the second scene.

As mentioned earlier, some rebellious tribes surrendered to the Taoist sect and asked for protection from the Taoist sect, while the rebellion that Ji Ying eliminated was the group that had its own power.

As the new Dragon King, Ji Ying could not watch the traitors go unpunished, but he also knew that he could not easily start a war when the internal troubles were not eliminated. As the saying goes, you must first stabilize the internal affairs before fighting against foreign enemies, so he chose to use courtesy before force, and negotiated with the Taoist sect first, asking them to hand over the rebellious tribes.

The Taoist sect originally did not want to come into conflict with Ji Ying because of these small tribes, and wanted to hand these small tribes over to Ji Ying.

However, those who were not in harmony with Ji Ying came to make suggestions again, saying that they had ways to hinder the troops sent by Ji Ying, and even provided intelligence. At that time, the disciples of the Taoist sect only needed to strive for credit behind the scenes.

People in the Taoist sect were naturally not stupid, and it was impossible for them to believe in a word, but the previous lesson was not far away, and the civil strife in the water tribe was true.

Taking advantage of this incident, it would be a good idea to conduct a tentative confrontation to see how far the internal struggle of the water tribe had reached. This was the idea of ​​the Taoist sect, and it was also done afterwards.

First courtesy, then force, Ji Ying did not break his promise.

The 100,000-strong army, including 30,000 dragon tribe troops and 70,000 tribal troops, was led by a Yuanying dragon general. The flags covered the sky, the gongs and drums were loud, and the momentum was fierce, as if a war was about to begin.

There were many such things in the past. It seemed that a big conflict would break out, but in the end, it was just a false alarm. The two giants of the Taoist sect and the water tribe would not easily go to war.

Everyone thought it was just a coastal cruise, but with such a relaxed mentality, a tragic encounter broke out.

To this day, no one knows how the battle broke out and who fired the first shot. There are many conjectures and conspiracy theories.

But the result is already determined.

The 2019 update is complete, and I wish you all a happy new year in advance
