Chapter 691 Neighbors

Jiang Li was in a bit of a dilemma. Since the other party had discovered the territory first, she didn't want to forcibly seize it. However, finding such a suitable place again was really not easy.

She thought for a moment and said gently, "This canyon is quite large. I wonder if you mind having more neighbors? We can make amends for any inconvenience caused to you."

This area is so big, we can definitely live together peacefully and be good neighbors!

The sea monster paused, then stopped wailing.

He thought they were going to drive him away and take over the strait, but he didn't expect that they just wanted to be his neighbor.

Demons are territorial, and the Sea Yaksha has long regarded this strait as his own territory. Naturally, he is unwilling to share it with anyone, but what can he do when he can't defeat it?

He glanced at the handsome man standing to the side, cold and aloof, and a sword spirit with considerable cultivation. The two of them were staring at him with murderous intent, as if they would immediately cut him down with their swords if he said no.

The sea monster flinched and stammered, "Can I continue to live here? You won't kick me out?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "We're new here and would love to have more neighbors. We'd love to ask you about the situation in this sea area."

Although she did not remove the Hidden Spirit Jade Pendant, her pure aura and sincere smile made the Sea Yaksha feel close to her subconsciously.

The sea demon was ugly and had always been looked down upon by other demons. This beautiful human fairy was all smiles and very friendly to him. In particular, her attitude of treating him as an equal made him feel even more favorably towards her.

Having such a beautiful and charming neighbor doesn't seem so bad, does it? The little fairy even said she'd make it up to him!

Two suspicious red clouds rose on the dark, ugly face of the sea demon, and he stammered, "Alright, I...I have no objection!"

He pointed to the cave where he was hiding, "I...I live there. As for other places, little fairy, feel free to go wherever you like."

Jiang Li smiled broadly: "Thank you, fellow Daoist! My surname is Jiang, and this is my husband, True Lord Chonghua."

She then introduced Taixu, saying, "Brother Taixu is also part of our family."

"May I ask your name, friend?"

Sea Demon scratched his head sheepishly: "I...I'm called Ahai."

Xie Chang'an cupped his hands slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Hai, we will be neighbors from now on. What do you need? We will do our best to help you with anything we can."

This is a Nascent Soul True Monarch. Hai Yacha has not forgotten the sharp and cold sword energy just now, so how dare she make demands on him?

"No, no! Please make yourselves at home, True Lord and Fairy!"

Trembling with fear, the sea demon found an excuse and fled back to its cave to heal its wounds.

Jiang Li, with her sharp eyes, noticed that Xie Chang'an flicked his finger, and a tiny sword talisman silently followed Hai Yacha into his cave.

"The Demon Emperor has issued a warrant for our arrest throughout the entire Demon Realm; we must be on guard," Xie Chang'an explained.

This sword talisman can monitor the sea monster's every move. If it makes any unusual move, it can kill it at any time!

Jiang Li nodded in agreement, "Brother Chang'an is absolutely right."

You can know a person's face but not their heart; how can you know if this siren will report them?

What's more, they just seized his territory and forced him to be their neighbor!

Xie Chang'an laughed and said, "Once I set up a grand formation at the valley entrance, I won't have to worry about him betraying me."

With a flick of his wrist, seven gleaming sword talismans flew out, instantly setting up a Seven Star Demon-Slaying Array at the valley entrance.

This grand formation can both prevent other sea monsters from invading and further isolate demonic energy, allowing them to drastically transform the canyon.

With the defenses in place, Jiang Li was finally able to release the Dragon Palace.

Xie Chang'an had Kongkong spit out the Sumeru Mustard Seed Bottle. Jiang Li had a thought, and the huge Dragon Palace appeared instantly, landing steadily in the center of the canyon with a loud bang.

When the Dragon Palace landed, the ground trembled and the waves surged. Jiang Li even faintly heard a dragon's roar!

Unlike the clear and bright roar of a dragon, that sound was desolate and distant, as if it had traveled through the long river of time and came from the ancient wilderness.

Jiang Li asked in surprise, "Brother Chang'an, did you hear that?"

Xie Chang'an nodded slightly.

The dragon's roar did not originate from the Dragon Palace, but seemed to come from the depths of the Western Sea.

What does this mean?

The Western Sea is indeed related to the ancestral land of the dragon race!

Such a commotion naturally alerted the sea demon, who peeked out of the cave in a panic and was immediately shocked and dumbfounded!

In the center of the canyon, a magnificent and enormous palace suddenly appeared!

The entire palace was enveloped in a layer of shimmering light, revealing magnificent buildings, pearl palaces, and exotic flowers and plants—a breathtaking sight.

Could this be the legendary Crystal Palace of the Dragon King? Could the little fairy actually be a dragon maiden?

Jiang Li smiled and said, "This is my cave dwelling. Would Fellow Daoist Hai like to come inside for a chat?"

Looking at the incomparably luxurious palace, the sea monster felt ashamed and stammered, "I...can I go in?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. We are naturally very happy to welcome Fellow Daoist Hai as our guest!"

Sea Demon hesitated and said, "Well... okay."

Jiang Li opened the Dragon Palace barrier, and the Sea Yaksha followed cautiously behind her, Xie Chang'an, and Taixu into the Dragon Palace.

Upon entering the Dragon Palace, the Sea Yaksha was overwhelmed by the sights. Everywhere he looked, there were exquisite pearls and jade, and piles of brocade. It was so rich and dazzling that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.

Jiang Li did not take him into the main hall. Egg was still asleep, and she did not want to expose the secrets of the Dragon Palace for the time being. So she led the Sea Yaksha to the garden pavilion and instructed Xiao Teng to serve tea.

A crystal goblet and a white jade plate, filled with fine wine and spirit fruit, made Hai Yacha feel like a country bumpkin who had just arrived in the city, extremely reserved.

Xie Chang'an said, "Since we are neighbors, Fellow Daoist Hai, there is no need to be so formal. We would like to ask you about the situation in this sea area."

The sea yaksha composed himself and said, "This underwater canyon is located in the middle of the Western Sea, far from the Demon Realm. Due to the ocean currents and terrain, demonic energy cannot enter it, and many sea creatures live here."

Xie Chang'an raised an eyebrow. Apart from this sea yaksha, he did not find any other sea creatures here.

What happened to all the sea creatures that used to live here?

Naturally, after the sea demon occupied this place, he drove everyone else away and seized this "blessed land".

The environment of the Western Sea is harsh and the spiritual energy is mixed. A Golden Core demon cultivator like the Sea Yaksha is already considered a powerful demon in the region.

"Besides you, what other powerful demons are around here?" Jiang Li asked.

The Sea Yaksha said, "Fifty miles from here, there is a Xuan Turtle, which I heard is from the Xuanwu Divine Beast clan. I don't know why it was expelled from its clan territory."

Jiang Li was taken aback. There were actually Xuanwu clansmen in the Western Sea?

The Xuanwu clan chief did not mention this matter at all. Was it because he did not want to talk about it, or because he was unaware of it?

"What is his temperament like? Do you have any dealings with him?"

The Sea Yaksha shook its head repeatedly: "He claims to be a divine beast, how could he associate with lowly demons like us? He usually lives in seclusion and rarely shows his face, little fairy, you don't need to worry about him."

"A hundred miles to the west, there is another killer whale. This monster is extremely vicious, and you must be careful, little fairy."

“However,” Hai Yacha glanced at Xie Chang’an, “with the True Lord here, I doubt he can cause any trouble.”
