Chapter 1209: Not A Single Reliable One

Sturgeon Dragon Emperor glanced down with a cold, indifferent expression, as if he were a completely different person.

"In-laws?"

"In-laws my ass!"

"With your son being such a useless piece of trash, you still want to be in-laws with me? Should I let my daughter marry a deadbeat like him?"

"As for using my Dragon Clan's treasure, is he even worthy?"

"From now on, let's not mention the word 'in-laws' again!"

Swoosh!

Ao Butong's face turned red with anger!

He never expected this.

He thought the in-laws were reliable, but they suddenly turned hostile, even saying such harsh, heartless words, and now they were breaking off the engagement on the spot!

Looking at the cold expression of the Sturgeon Dragon Emperor, Ao Butong gritted his teeth in fury!

"Emperor!"

"Are you really going to go back on your word and leave us to die!?"

The furious shout echoed, and even Ao Chang felt his blood boiling!

"The Emperor, as the ruler of the Sturgeon Clan, should keep his word!"

Facing the scolding from the master and servant.

The Sturgeon Dragon Emperor's expression turned even colder, and he spoke with a dismissive tone.

"My words should be clear to you. There's no need to discuss this further. Our two clans have no further relations!"

"Gentlemen, take care on your way out!"

With a cold remark, the Sturgeon Dragon Emperor turned and left with his hands behind his back!

The luxurious hall suddenly filled with a chilling aura that pierced straight to the soul!

Ao Butong clenched his teeth and glared, feeling the harsh reality of the world even more deeply!

Rejected once again!

At a time when the Heavenly Dragon Mermaid Clan was facing a great calamity, whether it was so-called friends or relatives, everyone seemed to avoid them. There was nothing more tragic than this!

What was even more infuriating was that the other party had swindled a treasure from him!

They really had no shame!

Who would have thought that the noble in-laws he had imagined would turn out to be such scum!

But they were on the other party's turf.

And his cultivation was inferior to theirs.

Having suffered such a huge loss, Ao Butong dared not lash out and could only suppress his anger!

Faced with such a harsh reality.

Dragon Emperor Ao Butong was filled with frustration!

He coldly stared at the retreating figure of the Sturgeon Dragon Emperor.

Even with a thousand grievances in his heart, he could only tightly hold his useless son and angrily stride out of the hall!

The two stepped out of the Sturgeon Dragon Clan's territory.

They stood stiffly on the sea surface for a long time, the frustration and anger in their hearts still hard to dissipate.

The young Ao Chang gritted his teeth in anger!

"Your Majesty!"

"Why are the elders of our sea clan so pragmatic? Could it be that among the legendary great beings, there isn't a single righteous one?!"

Although it was an unintentional complaint, it hit the nail on the head!

Ao Butong's old face tightened, as if reminded by these words.

After pondering for a few moments.

Finally, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes!

"Right, right."

"What you said makes perfect sense!"

"If we want someone to help us with Lie'er's curse, we not only need to find a senior with stronger cultivation, but more importantly, they must have a righteous heart!"

"Otherwise, they will definitely be unreliable!"

Ao Chang nodded slightly, but his eyes showed difficulty.

"Your Majesty... Forgive my ignorance, but does such a person really exist in this world?"

Even the two emperors lacked such righteousness, and among the sea clans, there were hardly any beings with deeper cultivation than them. Adding such a stringent condition seemed like a pipe dream!

But Ao Butong confidently looked back, as if suddenly enlightened.

"There is!"

"This time, we will directly visit Emperor Crab. Although he is in his twilight years, his cultivation far surpasses all the seniors I know!"

"What's even more commendable is that this sea clan ancestor is known for his righteousness and would never stand by and watch our clan's calamity!"

"If there is still a righteous being among our sea clan, it is this ancestor!"

The two traveled all night.

By now, the morning sun had already cast its light on the sea surface.

Ao Butong's smile reflected in the golden rays, as if dispelling all the gloom.

Ao Chang was also greatly moved!

"Emperor Crab?!"

This name was akin to a deity among the sea clans!

Who would have thought.

That he would have the honor of meeting this figure in his lifetime!

Even more surprising.

Was that His Majesty's connections were so formidable that he could even seek an audience with such a being!

Unprecedented excitement appeared on Ao Chang's face, his eyes filled with enthusiasm!

"Your Majesty is wise!"

As the golden rays of the morning sun scattered across the sea, the light in their eyes reignited!

They tore through the void and headed north!

In just a few moments.

The two stood before an ancient cave dwelling in the deep sea, their eyes filled with reverence!

Even though it looked long abandoned and lacked any aura of grandeur, they still bowed respectfully, their reverence reaching its peak.

As if, beyond this cave, lay the deity of the sea clans!

But before they could approach.

The stone gate suddenly slammed shut!

"Boom!"

A loud noise echoed, and their heads buzzed!

What was going on?

They hadn't even spoken yet!

Emperor Crab was the most respected ancestor of the sea clans, how could he not even let them in? This was even more outrageous than the previous two emperors, at least they had offered some tea and wine...

Ao Butong was utterly confused!

He stepped forward a few paces, and had no choice but to brace himself and make a respectful gesture.

"Emperor Crab, forgive my intrusion. I am Ao Butong of the Heavenly Dragon Mermaid Clan. I have come to seek your help because..."

But before he could finish.

A hoarse, deep voice came from behind the stone gate.

"I have important matters at noon today, so I will not be receiving guests. You youngsters should leave at once!"

Sss...

Ao Butong stood frozen, his face alternating between green and red!

He simply couldn't understand.

After traveling so far to seek the most reliable senior, he was met with a closed door!

Damn it!

But even with a thousand grievances, he dared not vent a single one here.

Gritting his teeth, he swallowed all his frustrations.

He quietly made a respectful gesture and retreated the way he came.

When they returned to the sea surface.

Ao Butong grew angrier the more he thought about it, his teeth grinding in frustration!

Beside him, Ao Chang was still immersed in the excitement of meeting such a great figure, completely awed by His Majesty's extensive connections.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Crab truly has an imposing presence. It seems we came at the wrong time. Should we visit another senior first?"

Noticing His Majesty's displeasure.

He cautiously offered a smile, trying to comfort and flatter.

"Your Majesty, don't be disheartened."

"Your friends are everywhere, and your knowledge is unparalleled. Let's seek out a few more senior friends, and we are sure to succeed!"

The speaker meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart.

Ao Butong, feeling the sting of the words, suddenly erupted in anger!

He turned and slapped Ao Chang, sending spittle flying!

"Slap!"

"Senior my ass!"

"Do I look like I have so many friends? Huh!? Even Emperor Crab made excuses, who else can we turn to for help? He said he had something at noon, how convenient!"

"It's clearly an excuse!"

"What other damn seniors are there to find? Not a single one is reliable!"

After cursing a few more times, Ao Butong hugged his useless son and stormed off.

Ao Chang stood in the wind, utterly bewildered, before finally realizing and chasing after with a red face.

Not long after they left.

An elderly figure appeared on the sea surface, walking slowly with a cane.

When the old man reached the shore.

The North Sea Emperor and the Sturgeon Dragon Emperor also appeared one after another. The three exchanged quiet words, clearly familiar with each other.

"Emperor Crab, did you receive my message?"

"Yes, thanks to Brother Chang's reminder, or I would have been in trouble!"

"It's nothing, not worth mentioning!"

"Damn it! That Ao Butong is really a piece of work, daring to make a move against the great one. He's truly courting death! Luckily, I cut ties in time, or I would have been dragged down with him!"

"Exactly!"

"Shh..."

After walking a few hundred steps together, their tones gradually revealed a sense of reverence.

When they reached the beach.

The three sea clan giants stopped their conversation, their faces no longer displaying their usual majesty, but instead filled with ingratiating smiles as they rushed towards a lounge chair ahead.

On the lounge chair.

Lou Benwei lay with his arms behind his head, leisurely enjoying the sunbath...
