234: Chapter 180: Houtu Makes a Move 234: Chapter 180: Houtu Makes a Move He didn’t immediately answer, but stared at Sun Wukong with a meaningful look. Sun Wukong curled his lips and said, “Don’t think you can threaten me with this. Just one word, agree or not, if you say no, Old Sun will turn around and leave.” The Dragon King couldn’t help but laugh and cry, unable to resist retorting, “Great Saint, who comes to negotiate like this?” Sun Wukong glanced at him and scoffed, “Then what do you want? Should Old Sun have a discussion with you while wielding the Jingu Bang?” The Dragon King shut his mouth, as this monkey had become increasingly unreasonable. After a moment’s thought, Ao Guang finally said, “Actually, submitting to the Great Emperor Ziwei is possible. We indeed had this intention, but the Great Emperor must agree to one condition.” “Please speak,” Sun Wukong nodded. At such times, when persuading the Dragon Clan to submit, it’s impossible to offer no benefits. Only by offering benefits will the Dragon Clan possibly have their loyalty secured. Ao Guang smiled faintly and said, “Actually, it’s quite simple. Just elevate our Dragon Clan to govern the Department of Water as Heavenly Venerates, having total control over terrestrial waters, and managing the distribution of clouds and rain, that’s all we need.” With these words, Sun Wukong squinted his eyes, staring sharply at Ao Guang. This request, seemingly simple, was not simple at all. Ao Guang was seeking to detach the Dragon Clan from the Thunder Department, no longer constrained by it. However, given the tremendous strength of the Dragon Clan across the Four Seas, it was indeed restrictive to be limited by the Thunder Department. The status of the Four Seas’ Dragon Kings within the Thunder Department was mediocre at best, not even comparable to higher-ranking immortals. To some immortals, the Dragon Clan was considered nothing more than spirit beasts, hardly equating to true immortals. But the true strength of the Dragon Clan was by no means as weak as they perceived. Nowadays, of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin tribes, only the Dragon Clan still retained great strength. The populations of the Phoenix and Qilin tribes were quite sparse. Naturally, this was related to the nature of the Dragon Clan, hence their abundant progeny. Given the Dragon Clan’s low profile and knack for concealing their prowess, their strength over the long years had not been significantly harmed but had grown stronger instead. Had it not been necessary to guard the Sea Eye of the Four Seas, the unveiling of the Dragon Clan’s strength would have surely shocked the Three Realms. In an instant, Sun Wukong processed all this information. His eyes flickered as he watched Ao Guang’s beaming expression and felt a strong urge to punch him. After a while, Sun Wukong finally asked, “Does the Dragon Clan have a Heavenly Venerate?” Ao Guang’s body shook, and as he looked towards Sun Wukong, it seemed he had guessed his intention. “Yes, the youngest son of the Ancestral Dragon, who had already become a Heavenly Venerate during the era of the Ancestral Dragon,” Ao Guang said solemnly. Indeed, the Dragon Clan was hiding a Heavenly Venerate. Sun Wukong’s lips slightly curved, and he asked, “Do you want greater authority? To completely raise the head of the Dragon Clan in the Three Realms?” “Naturally, I do,” Ao Guang responded without hesitation. It was commendable for the Dragon Clan to cultivate their brightness modestly, but now their strength was strong enough. Furthermore, with the current turmoil in the Three Realms, merely hiding strength was not viable for survival. They needed to advance bravely against the current to possibly survive. Mere modesty would definitely not foresee a good end. “I can agree to your condition. Rest assured, Old Dragon King, if I agree, then Ziwei will agree too. Additionally, I promise you, after some time, when the opportunity matures a bit more, I will vacate the position of Thunderous Heavenly Venerate in Nine Heavens, letting your Dragon Clan’s Heavenly Venerate take charge of the Thunder Department. Then, with the Department of Water turning into the Thunder Department, the Dragon Clan will govern the Thunder Department,” Sun Wukong promised. Although Ao Guang was mentally prepared, he was still stunned by Sun Wukong’s words. His expression revealed his excitement, and his voice trembled as he said, “Really?” “Indeed,” Sun Wukong smiled and nodded without any hesitation. “Alright, I agree. In three days, we, the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas, will petition to submit under the command of Great Emperor Ziwei,” “Good,” Sun Wukong showed a smile. Ao Guang was also overjoyed, knowing that it was time for the Dragon Clan to emerge. Once their revered ancestor became the Heavenly Venerate of the Thunder Department, they would be among the upper echelons of the Heavenly Court. By then, who would dare to look down upon the Dragon Clan? “However, I must remind the Old Dragon King of one thing: even if the Dragon Clan gains power, please ensure that your younger generations comply with the heavenly rules. If they disrespect these rules and cause trouble for the common people, the Heavenly Court need not intervene, for Old Sun will personally take action and eradicate them,” Sun Wukong said this with an especially fierce look in his eyes. The Old Dragon King was startled, then nodded very seriously, saying, “Rest assured, Great Saint, I will tell them, and such a situation will absolutely never happen. I will increase my supervision over them.” He of course couldn’t take Sun Wukong’s words lightly. If Sun Wukong said he would act, he would undoubtedly do so, and no one could persuade him otherwise. If they didn’t want to die, they had to follow the rules. Some of the Dragon Sons were too unruly, frequently causing incidents. By stating this upfront, Sun Wukong was preventing any possible future conflicts and accusations of him being ruthless. “Alright, since we’ve agreed, I will now go to find Ziwei and relay this matter, then have Taibai discuss the details with you,” Sun Wukong chuckled. Hearing the name of Venus Taibai, Ao Guang smiled, saying, “If it’s Venus Taibai, then it couldn’t be better. As for the likes of Master Ge and others who are merely boastful and shallow, please don’t send them again.” “Old Sun understands. Hehe,” Sun Wukong smiled, his gaze falling on Dragon Girl as he showed an inquiring look.
