Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 55 Opening of Dragon Gate

55: Chapter 55 Opening of Dragon Gate

55 -55 Opening of Dragon Gate

Presently, the Dragon Clan was the one at fault, and to resolve this matter, they might have to pay a hefty price.

The appetite of the Jiang Family had always been vast.

“Uncle, it’s true that I initiated the conflict.

But it was after he killed my subordinate that I took action,” Ao Rong retorted immediately after hearing Jiang Chen’s words.

Oh, really?

Hearing this, Ao Guang’s eyes brightened.

Could there be a twist to this tale?

Thinking this, he turned his attention to Jiang Chen, ready to hear his response.

Just that, Jiang Chen’s next words made Ao Guang’s freshly sprouted hopes crumble.

“Subordinate?”

“You mean your man-eating nephew?”

“Yes, that’s correct.

It was me who killed him, using the Sun Divine Fire to burn him alive, not even his soul was left behind.”

Nodding, Jiang Chen confirmed earnestly.

Upon hearing these words, the surrounding atmosphere turned silent.

The faces of the crowd darkened, especially Jiang Zixuan, whose eyes were already displaying murderous intent.

“Man-eating?”

Is that so?

The West Sea Dragon King needs to give me an explanation.”

With a surging killing intent, Jiang Zixuan slowly declared towards the West Sea Dragon King.

“This…”

The West Sea Dragon King was at a loss for words.

He had certainly not anticipated such a situation.

He couldn’t help but shoot a fierce glare at Ao Rong.

This is all your fault!

Go home and wait for your punishment.

The Demon Clan eating humans was not a big deal, but if the Dragon Clan consumed humans, that was a different matter.

Apart from breaching the heavenly rules, this act had also severely damaged the relationship between the two clans, thus amounting to a terribly grave mistake.

“Ah…

then…” Threatened by his father, Ao Rong began to stammer: “How did you know he ate people?

Did you witness it yourself?”

“Sigh!” Upon hearing that, Jiang Chen sighed, and without arguing with him, he said directly: “If the prince thinks that I am lying, we can go to the Heaven Court to argue our cases before the gods.

”

“Let’s see who will ascend the Immortal-slaying Platform and who will go to the Flaying Dragon Platform.”

Such a matter did not require any debate at all.

All of them were adepts who had become immortals and mastered Tao.

They only needed to read each other’s minds to know whether Jiang Chen was telling the truth.

Ao Rong opened his mouth as if to retort, but suddenly East Sea Dragon King, Ao Guang, impatiently replied:

“Enough!”

“Do you want to disgrace us even more?”

“Third Brother, look at this good son you’ve raised.

Hurry and pull him away before he makes a fool of himself here.”

With a wave of his robe, and a displeased expression written all over his face, Ao Guang roared at the West Sea Dragon King.

“Your anger is justified, older brother.

I will discipline this rebellious child of mine right away.” Grabbing Ao Rong, the West Sea Dragon King departed in haste.

Seeing this, Jiang Zixuan was about to intervene, but he heard the East Sea Dragon King speak again, “Young friend, this matter was indeed the fault of our Dragon Clan.

As an apology, once this matter is resolved, you can choose a treasure from the Dragon Palace, what do you say?”

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Zixuan stopped himself and gave a glance to Jiang Chen to indicate that he should accept the proposition.

It was time to take a step back if they didn’t want the West Sea Dragon King potentially sacrificing his son over a minor issue.

The cannibal was ultimately that flood dragon, not the West Sea’s second prince.

They shouldn’t go overboard.

“Then I have no choice but to respectfully accept your proposal.” Seeing Jiang Zixuan’s signal, Jiang Chen pretended to be reluctant, although a sense of satisfaction brimmed within him.

This was a decent bargain.

After killing the aquatic army and beating a dragon prince, not only did he avoid retaliation from the Dragon Clan, but he also compelled the dragon king to apologize in person.

Additionally, he won the chance to select a treasure from the Dragon Palace.

It was a complete win!

…

“Good!

A show of generous spirit, young friend.” Seeing that Jiang Chen accepted his offer, a smile spread across the East Sea Dragon King’s face.

Then, he escorted Jiang Chen towards the royal palace and said, “Young friend, the opening of Dragon Gate is imminent.

Butler, please make sure to rest well in the Dragon Palace to conserve your strength so that you can leap over the Dragon Gate.”

And so, Jiang Chen was escorted into the Dragon Palace by the East Sea Dragon King.

…

…

Time flew by, and the day of the Dragon Gate’s opening arrived.

On this day, above the dome of heaven, a stunning golden beam of light descended straight down into the place where the Yellow River joined the sea.

Following that moment, a towering gate gradually appeared from thin air, standing before everyone’s eyes.

The Dragon Gate!

The heralded ancestral treasure of the Dragon Clan!

At this moment, everyone who saw this gate knew that the Dragon Gate had officially opened.

Boom!

After overcoming their initial shock, everyone at the Yellow River’s estuary leapt into action.

All creatures in the water began to rush toward the Dragon Gate.

No command was required, no lead was needed.

As soon as these beings saw the Dragon Gate, they staked everything they had to rush toward it.

Because, whether they could change their destinies depended on this one attempt.

Nobody would hold back.

“Jiang Chen, it is time for you to go.

Strive to be the first to clear the Dragon Gate and take the lead.” Seeing the emergence of the Dragon Gate, Jiang Zixuan spoke to Jiang Chen.

In this world, the first one always had special meaning.

If Jiang Chen were the first to jump the Dragon Gate, there’s no doubt he would obtain the greatest blessing from this event.

Maybe, with his powerful lineage, he would also gain some benefits.

It might not be as Jiang family’s ancestor had said, with no benefit at all.

Of course, this was all predicated on the fact that Jiang Chen would be the first to jump over the Dragon Gate.

Only the first would obtain the most significant advantage.

Even second place was not acceptable.

“Yes, ancestor, I will go now.”

After paying respects to Jiang Zixuan, Jiang Chen leapt into the air, rushing toward the Dragon Gate.

“Great Ancient Martial Arts, the legendary art from the past.

It has been a long time since I’ve seen it.”

“I couldn’t imagine that there would be a time when this art would once again enter the mortal world, especially not from the Jiang family, given that they’re practitioners of an art that had long lost its glory.”

“How strange.”

After Jiang Chen left, East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang sighed with emotion.

He had truly lived through the glory days of Great Ancient Martial Arts.

Therefore, he understands the power of Great Ancient Martial Arts clearer than anyone present.

It was a terrifying force.

After reflecting on the past, East Sea Dragon King turned back to Jiang Zixuan and said, “I can’t help but believe that with the power of Great Ancient Martial Arts, the first one to leap over the Dragon Gate will undoubtedly be your family’s Jiang Chen.”

“Your compliment has been noted, Dragon King, but there are countless outstanding beings in the water race superior to Jiang Chen.

It’s too early, much too early, to make such a prediction.” Despite the modest words on Jiang Zixuan’s face, the satisfaction emanating from him showed his true feelings.

“Haha!”

Upon hearing this, the East Sea Dragon King only laughed and didn’t say much, but instead, he focused his gaze on the Dragon Gate.

The beings that could cross the Dragon Gate were the future foundation of the Dragon Clan.

Ao Guang couldn’t disregard this matter.
