Seeing their leader had fled, the strength drained from the Thunder Department experts; they soon lost their fighting spirit. After some of their number were eradicated by the Dragon Clan’s experts, they promptly surrendered. Taotie wore a look of speechlessness—he hadn’t even enjoyed himself yet, and it was already over? “That’s it?” Qiuniu couldn’t help but complain as well. He hadn’t even exerted himself, and they had already taken this place. Now, he found it impossible to even find an opponent to fight. “How about we take down Ziwei Heavenly Palace as well?” Taotie suggested through a psychic message. Ao Zhan’s expression shifted slightly; he glared at Taotie and reprimanded through a psychic message, “Don’t entertain such thoughts. The Ziwei Heavenly Court is much stronger than you imagine. To say nothing of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven and his group of friends—the Dragon Clan wouldn’t be able to take them down, not to mention the presence of the inscrutably powerful Great Emperor Ziwei.” “Is the Ziwei Heavenly Court really that powerful?” Taotie was a bit surprised. After taking down the Thunder Department, he felt that Ziwei Heavenly Court would probably be nothing special, either. Even if it were stronger than the Thunder Department, it couldn’t be by much. The current powerhouses of the Three Realms, compared to their time, were truly far inferior. Ao Zhan sneered and sent a psychic message, “Even more formidable than you imagine. Don’t bring disaster upon our Dragon Clan.” “Hmph.” Taotie snorted coldly but eventually did not speak up. Just then, Sun Wukong arrived. In his hand, he carried a Decree that contained a powerful aura. It was the will of the Great Heavenly Venerate, as well as the power of order. Sun Wukong gave Ao Zhan a glance and directly opened the Decree. The voice of the Great Emperor Ziwei echoed, “From this day forth, the Dragon Clan shall govern the Thunder Department. I hereby appoint Ao Zhan of the Dragon Clan as the Thunder God Heavenly Venerate, in charge of the Thunder Department.” As the words fell, the order of heaven and earth intertwined, forming a seal representing the authority of the Thunder Department Heavenly Venerate, which merged into Ao Zhan’s body. At Ao Zhan’s brow, a lightning mark appeared. Ao Zhan closed his eyes; in that moment, he felt as if he could control all the thunder in the world, and with just a thought, he could command the power of Heavenly Thunder. That sensation was as if he had become the will of the entire heaven and earth. The Thunderous Heavenly Venerate Puhua, who had fled far away, discovered that his divine authority had been taken, and his control over the Power of Thunder had grown feeble indeed. Even as a Heavenly Venerate, to wield the power of Heavenly Thunder again was now excruciatingly difficult. Unless he used Immortal Techniques to cast Thunder Skills, but that would fundamentally differ from true Heavenly Thunder. Puhua Heavenly Venerate was filled with loss. He clearly understood that he had now become just an ordinary Great Heavenly Venerate. Stripped of his divine authority, he had fallen from his lofty position. “Ziwei, you and I will never be reconciled,” Puhua Heavenly Venerate roared in his heart. He dared not linger too long, fearing being targeted, and hastily fled towards the abode of the Longevity Great Emperor in the South Pole. At this time, Ao Zhan opened his eyes, revealing an expression of enlightenment. He bowed in the direction of Ziwei Heavenly Court and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty the Ziwei Heavenly Venerate.” Then, Ao Zhan smiled and added, “I must also thank the Great Saint. If it weren’t for the Great Saint’s strong recommendation, our Dragon Clan wouldn’t have been able to take control of the Thunder Department.” Sun Wukong, however, smiled and said, “There’s no need for such formality. I, Old Sun, have always had a good relationship with the Dragon Clan. Moreover, being able to take down the Thunder Department is a result of the Dragon Clan’s own strength; I, Old Sun, really didn’t exert much effort, so there’s no need to thank me.” Ao Zhan smiled faintly; although those were his words, the Dragon Clan couldn’t afford to think so lightly. The Dragon Clan’s great strength might not necessarily be something the Supreme of the Three Realms would like to see. For instance, the Jade Emperor was very aware of the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas and therefore took extra precautions against them. If it weren’t for Sun Wukong’s intercession, the Great Emperor Ziwei would have been nothing but wary and vigilant towards the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas. But thanks to Sun Wukong’s relationship, the Ziwei Heavenly Venerate was able to entrust the Thunder Department to the Dragon Clan, rather than trying to suppress them vigorously—which made all the difference. Sun Wukong spoke with a serious tone, “Although Old Sun gets along well with the Dragon Clan, there is something I must remind you all.” Ao Zhan’s expression became solemn, and he said with respect, “Great Saint, please speak.” Sun Wukong’s gaze swept over those present as he spoke in a deep voice, “I, Old Sun, hope that after the Dragon Clan takes control of the Thunder Department, you will uphold the righteousness of heaven and earth, maintain the wellbeing of all beings in the Three Realms, and—since the Dragon Clan is now rising—also urge the younger generation of the Dragon Clan to restrain themselves. They must not bring harm to the common people or defy celestial laws. Should any of the Dragon Clan’s descendants dare to do such things, do not blame the Heavenly Court or I, Old Sun, for being merciless.” Towards the end, Sun Wukong’s tone grew increasingly sharp. The Dragon Clan was currently full of fighting spirit, and having taken down the Thunder Department, some of its members started feeling proud all too quickly. Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, many harbored dissatisfaction in their hearts. Many Dragon Clan descendants appeared displeased, their faces showing scorn. It was Ao Zhan, however, whose heart grew wary; he could see the arrogance among the younger generation and knew that Sun Wukong was warning them. In truth, it wasn’t that Sun Wukong was targeting them; rather, he was giving them advance notice to prevent ugly scenes should real conflict arise later. Ao Zhan cast a stern look over the dissatisfied younger generations and spoke in a serious tone, “Great Saint, rest assured, as the Dragon Clan takes control of the Thunder Department, we will carefully select our members. Those unworthy will not be chosen. If there are any members of our clan who misbehave, the Great Saint is welcome to intervene. Our Dragon Clan does not need such disgraceful descendants.” “That is good to hear.” Sun Wukong revealed a smile. The Sea Dragon Kings felt indifferent, and Qiuniu also felt that Sun Wukong’s warning was not misplaced. Only Taotie was somewhat dissatisfied. He had always been of a violent temperament, not one to tolerate warnings directed at the Dragon Clan. After Ao Zhan spoke, Taotie suddenly stood up.
