Hao Ren came out from the back hall.
Liu Yi immediately went up to him and whispered, "This area is close to the back mountain, and the West Ocean Mystic Ice is produced here."
Zeng Yitao followed Hao Ren out of the back hall, and he stood within the circle of West Ocean elders and remained silent.
Waiting outside the hall, Zhao Yanzi ran a few steps forward to return to Hao Ren's side.
"Haha, I have not seen you two for a while," Hao Ren slightly cupped his hands and said.
Liu Yi's reminder let Hao Ren understand the situation.
What was most precious in the West Ocean Dragon Palace was not techniques, structures, elixir, or dharma treasures, but their specialty product - West Ocean Mystic Ice.
The back mountain of the West Ocean Dragon Palace was the production place of the West Ocean Mystic Ice. It was also the location where Zeng Xin made his last-ditch effort in trying to become a Heavenly Dragon.
North Ocean and South Ocean were both very interested in West Ocean Mystic Ice.
Since Hao Ren suddenly appearance and forced Zeng Yitao to the back mountain, it plucked their nerves.
Hao Ren looked at the Commanding Generals of the two dragon clans and saw aggression on their faces.
Back when they fought against the demon beast, Hao Ren gave them detox pills and saved them. However, this situation involved the core interest, West Ocean Mystic Ice, the two dragon clans were not going to step back.
This moment, they each led more than a dozen generals, and Hao Ren only had Liu Yi by his side.
Hao Ren was outnumbered and surrounded.
"I wonder what urgent matter brings Brother Hao to the back mountain?" The Second Duke of North Ocean asked.
The Third Prince of South Ocean cautiously stared at Hao Ren, and he was planning to ask the same question.
The two parties had put on a firm stance. They had more soldiers in the West Ocean Dragon Palace, and they had more powerful generals with them. Therefore, they rushed over to pressure Hao Ren.
Hao Ren understood where they were coming from, but he really disliked being threatened!
"Our Commanding General of East Ocean came to inspect the reconstruction progress of the back hall; does that require your approval?" The straightforward Liu Yi was more displeased and was the first to shout.
"Does a little gate general have the rights to speak here?" Seeing Liu Yi challenging him, the Second Duke of North Ocean squinted his eyes and said authoritatively.
As he walked, the Second Duke of North Ocean released a fierce pressure at Liu Yi.
Liu Yi unsheathed his broadsword in a hurry but still backed off two steps.
The Second Duke of North Ocean was about to exert more pressure, but Hao Ren's sword energies suddenly shot out and formed a layer of transparent barrier, blocking the Second Duke of North Ocean's pressure.
"Regarding Liu Yi, he is not under North Ocean's command, right?" Hao Ren turned to look at Liu Yi before turning to the Second Duke of North Ocean and asking slowly.
Zhao Yanzi lightly pulled on Hao Ren's shirt and didn't want him to confront them directly.
The four ocean dragon clans always had relations among themselves. Therefore, Zhao Yanzi had seen the important figures of the other three dragon clans. This Second Duke of North Ocean was the Commanding General of North Ocean, and his realm was already at low-tier Qian-level. He was the most powerful cultivator in the royal family aside from the purple-robed elders.
Zeng Yitao was delighted to see them getting suspicious of each other, so he did not explain anything. He could not beat Hao Ren, so he looked forward to South Ocean and North Ocean joining forces and beating Hao Ren together.
He would rather be taken apart by South Ocean and North Ocean than let the East Ocean Dragon Clan earn a cent from him.
The Second Duke of North Ocean looked at Hao Ren; he did not expect Hao Ren to be this tough at such a young age. If he did not suppress Hao Ren now, there would be more trouble in the future.
"Brother Hao, you were just promoted to the position of Commanding General, and it is inevitable that your military discipline is lacking a bit in the beginning. As a senior, I am just helping to enforce some discipline. After all, us three ocean dragon clans have long days together here. Any conflict should be avoided," The Second Duke of North Ocean said as he fluttered his black cape.
He then turned to look at the Third Prince of South Ocean and asked, "Brother Song, do you think I am right?"
The Third Prince of South Ocean hesitated for a moment and nodded, saying, "I see that this is the first time General Liu has led an army. There are things he doesn't understand well, such as division of power."
"You…" Liu Yi was so mad that he almost went up two steps to argue with them.
During this time, he led the black-armored soldiers of East Ocean and had small conflicts with South Ocean and North Ocean's soldier.
However, those were due to misunderstandings during the division of responsibility, and South Ocean and North Ocean thought that East Ocean already got a big advantage in terms of sea territories, so they intentionally tried to harass Liu Yi and his black-armored soldiers.
Liu Yi did not want to cause trouble for Hao Ren, so he endured it for a while. He did not anticipate the Commanding Generals of the other two oceans to scold him right in front of Hao Ren…
Hao Ren reached out and stopped Liu Yi. Then, he looked at the Second Duke of North Ocean and the Third Prince of South Ocean. "Does this mean that you two are displeased with my subordinate?"
"From my perspective, North Ocean and South Ocean's soldiers are sufficient here. Brother Hao, General Liu can be stationed somewhere else." The Second Duke of North Ocean took advantage of Hao Ren's young age and inexperience, and he said flippantly.
"Commanding General, this must not happen!" Liu Yi said in a hurry.
If they lost control of the West Ocean Dragon Palace, South Ocean and North Ocean could go around East Ocean's back and slowly devour the West Ocean Dragon Palace, especially swallowing up the West Ocean Mystic Ice!
Zhao Yanzi lightly pulled on Hao Ren again.
She did not understand military strategy, but she knew that the Third Prince of South Ocean was a mid-tier Qian-level master. If the two of them joined forces, Hao Ren would lose.
A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him.
"Why would Hao Ren want to fight to lose?" Zhao Yanzi thought as she saw the attitude of the Third Prince of South Ocean and Second Duke of North Ocean; she knew that they wanted to push Hao Ren out of here.
"I wonder what does Crown Prince Zeng have to say? After all, this is the West Ocean Dragon Clan," the Second Duke of North Ocean suddenly asked Zeng Yitao.
The Third Prince of South Ocean also looked at Zeng Yitao. At this time, he stood on North Ocean's side. The East Ocean Dragon Clan was getting stronger, and if they acquired large quantities of West Ocean Mystic Ice…
Zeng Yitao looked at Hao Ren and started nodding. When he was about to speak, Hao Ren's 320 sword energies suddenly shot out.
The sword energies separated into three clusters, and they shot toward Zeng Yitao from left, middle, and right.
The dozens of elders of West Ocean immediately went up to block the attack.
"What is the meaning of this? General Hao!" The Second Duke of North Ocean unsheathed the blade under his black robe ferociously.
The Third Prince of South Ocean hesitated for a moment before pulling out his spear and joining the fight.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Hao Ren's three clusters of sword energies were knocked back.
"Liu Yi! Protect Zi!" Hao Ren shouted.
"As you wish!" Liu Yi raised his green dragon crescent blade and protected Zhao Yanzi behind him.
Liu Yi knew that if Hao Ren made concessions now, East Ocean would have to back away from the defensive circle around the West Ocean Dragon Palace and lose influence in the Senate. That meant South Ocean and North Ocean would scavenge the East Ocean Dragon Clan's victory over the West Ocean Dragon Clan!
Letting South Ocean and North Ocean co-administrate the matters at the West Ocean Dragon Clan was because the three parties had all sent troops; East Ocean could not occupy West Ocean alone and fight back the two other dragon clans. However, East Ocean wouldn't back down either!
Liu Yi knew that Hao Ren's sudden attack was to stop Zeng Yitao, but how could Hao Ren fight the Third Prince of South Ocean, the Second Duke of North Ocean, and the dozens of generals?
This worried Liu Yi!
"Pardon me for potentially offending you!" The Third Prince of South Ocean raised his white spear and charged at Hao Ren.
"Brother Hao, let's spar!" The Second Duke of North Ocean's blade spun in his palm and left a series of afterimages in the air.
The defeated West Ocean Dragon Palace was a big piece of cake, but Liu Yi who was stationed here by Hao Ren became a very troublesome obstacle!
They did not anticipate Hao Ren to start a fight, but they reacted quickly; beating Hao Ren would suppress the morale of the soldiers of East Ocean.
According to Zhao Guang's personality, he would not start a war for such a small conflict!
They never thought that Hao Ren was the actual commander of the military of East Ocean, not just in name! Hao Ren had comparable prestige as Zhao Kuo, and he didn't lack bravery.
The moment Hao Ren moved, he was prepared for war!
Ding!
Hao Ren's sword energies condensed into a colorful stone sword, and he used the first variation of the first strike in the Mystic Water Sword Techniques naturally.
The tip of the sword met the tip of the spear, and a slight vibration appeared in the spear. Then, Hao Ren followed the momentum and flung out to block the slashing blade!
Just one move by Hao Ren completely dumbfounded Liu Yi!
In a one versus two situation, Hao Ren was able to hold off the joint attack of the other two Commanding Generals!
The soldiers and generals of South Ocean and North Ocean were more surprised. They all knew the power of the Third Prince of South Ocean's spear and the Second Duke of North Ocean's blade; these two were almost invincible in their respective military!
However, Hao Ren only performed one move and handled the spear and the blade!
As the Commanding Generals of North Ocean and South Ocean, the two had fought many battles. They adjusted their mentalities and quickly stabbed and slashed at Hao Ren!
"Commanding General!" Liu Yi shouted in anxiousness.
Zhao Yanzi also opened her eyes wide.
However, Zeng Yitao was having fun as he watched Hao Ren being attacked.
The sixth variation of the first strike in the Mystic Water Sword Techniques! Hao Ren's stone sword drew a rainbow circle, and his steps tightly followed the circle, placing him in between the Second Duke of North Ocean and the Third Prince of South Ocean.
Close-range combat!
The two had never seen such ingenious sword techniques, and they struck their weapons at Hao Ren rapidly.
The 12th variation! Hao Ren's sword pointed at the ground as he was upside-down!
The Mystic Water Sword Techniques had high requirements of the sword, and Hao Ren's sword was condensed by the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll and could be firm and flexible, long and short. It fit the requirement of the Mystic Water Sword Techniques perfectly.
The firm stone sword momentarily transformed into a soft sword, and it sprung Hao Ren up by half a meter!
The Second Duke of North Ocean and the Third Prince of South Ocean both went for a stab, but Hao Ren suddenly sprung up, making them almost stabbed each other!
Hao Ren was still upside-down like a hawk, and his sword dashed around.
Just as the Second Duke of North Ocean and the Third Prince of South Ocean were about to block, Hao Ren's soft sword suddenly transformed into 320 sword energies!
The two treated Hao Ren's longsword as an ordinary weapon and miscalculated!
Bam!
The Second Duke of North Ocean and the Third Prince of South Ocean were both knocked back five to six steps, and their clothes were torn. If it were not for their high realms, they would be fully wounded!
Hao Ren turned his body and landed firmly. He raised his right hand, and all the sword energies gathered in his palm and transformed back into a colorful stone sword.
"If you two want a rematch, I'm more than willing to participate!" Hao Ren crossed his arms and said indifferently with the Five-Mountain Bracelets on his wrists.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

It fit the requirement of the Mystic Water Sword Techniques perfectly.The firm stone sword momentarily transformed into a soft sword, and it sprung Hao Ren up by half a meter!The Second Duke of North Ocean and the Third Prince of South Ocean both went for a stab, but Hao Ren suddenly sprung up, making them almost stabbed each other!Hao Ren was still upside-down like a hawk, and his sword dashed around.Just as the Second Duke of North Ocean and the Third Prince of South Ocean were about to block, Hao Ren's soft sword suddenly transformed into 320 sword energies!The two treated Hao Ren's longsword as an ordinary weapon and miscalculated!Bam!The Second Duke of North Ocean and the Third Prince of South Ocean were both knocked back five to six steps, and their clothes were torn. If it were not for their high realms, they would be fully wounded!Hao Ren turned his body and landed firmly. He raised his right hand, and all the sword energies gathered in his palm and transformed back into a colorful stone sword."If you two want a rematch, I'm more than willing to participate!" Hao Ren crossed his arms and said indifferently with the Five-Mountain Bracelets on his wrists.
