Chapter 0740: Ziniya Cannot Agree

What is it?!
Hearing Huang Long’s question, Luo Ha, Oben, and the others grew even more embarrassed. But remembering their purpose for coming, they dared not speak out in anger.
“Brother Huang Long, today we were reckless. We wronged your younger brother. We’ve come to atone for our mistakes!” After a while, amid the awkward silence, Luo Ha hesitantly spoke.
“Yes, yes, it’s our fault for wronging your younger brother.”
“Please don’t take it to heart, Brother Huang Long!”
As soon as Luo Ha spoke, Oben and the others quickly agreed.
Huang Long sat there, his expression calm. After Luo Ha, Oben, and the others finished speaking, he said indifferently, “Wronged my third brother? Have you all figured out the truth now? Luo Ha, my third brother killed your son. You’re trying to atone for this with me? I doubt I can bear such a burden!”
Huang Long naturally knew that Luo Ha, Oben, and the others came to atone because of Rivia, not because of some so-called truth. So he spoke without any mercy.
Hearing Huang Long’s indifferent yet mocking words, Luo Ha and the others were filled with rage, but they had to continue pretending to smile.
Luo Ha forced a smile and said, “Brother Huang Long, you’re joking. It was my foolish son who was reckless enough to try to kill your younger brother. It’s only right that we atone for this!”
“Yes, yes, it’s only right!” Oben and the others nodded in agreement.
Only right? Huang Long sneered inwardly.
Huang Long knew that though Luo Ha and the others were smiling, they must be cursing him in their hearts countless times.
“Was it Rivia who sent you here?” Huang Long asked indifferently.
Luo Ha and the others were stunned.
Rivia? How dare Huang Long call out their Supreme Elder’s name?!
Thinking of Rivia’s furious reaction, they began to speculate further about the relationship between Huang Long and their Supreme Elder.
“Well, to be honest with you, Brother Huang Long, the Supreme Elder is indeed extremely angry about this,” Oben said, though he was guessing. “But we came here of our own accord. We truly intend to atone for our mistakes.”
Luo Ha and the others quickly agreed again.
Huang Long wasn’t bothered to talk more with them. Without ceremony, he sent them away, saying, “I’ve received your sincerity. I need to continue my cultivation. Please leave.”
Luo Ha, Oben, and the others opened their mouths to speak, but facing Huang Long’s cold gaze, they left in frustration, departing from Huang Long’s palace.
Once outside, Oben couldn’t contain his anger. With a sneer, he said, “What kind of person is this? Thinking he’s so great. He’s just a weakling!”

“A weakling relying on a woman’s power!” Oben added in his mind. But when it came to King Leviathan, Oben only dared to think those words silently. Lohar also snapped angrily, “Damn it, this Yellow Dragon is way too arrogant!” The other elders of the Silver Fox clan also cursed angrily. Of course, since they had established a domain around them, they weren’t afraid the Yellow Dragon would hear them, which allowed them to speak so freely. As Oben, Lohar, and the others returned to their own palace amidst their angry outbursts, the Yellow Dragon retracted his divine hearing ability in his own palace. “Weakling? Arrogant?” the Yellow Dragon sneered. Lohar and the others thought that since they had set up a domain, the Yellow Dragon couldn’t hear them, but they didn’t realize that their domain was utterly useless in the face of the Yellow Dragon’s divine hearing ability. Thus, the Yellow Dragon heard every word of their anger. After retracting his divine hearing ability, the Yellow Dragon fell into deep thought. Now that he was at odds with the elders of the Silver Fox clan, would it affect the purpose of his mission?! If Leviathan revealed the purpose of his mission to Ziniya, what would she decide then? The Yellow Dragon frowned deeply. Time passed, and several days had gone by since he and his group arrived in the Li Tian Mountains. Within those few days, the news of Huang Liang killing Lohar’s son, Rosay, had spread throughout the Li Tian Mountains. Although Huang Liang and his group remained calm, it caused a huge stir among the members of the Silver Fox clan’s headquarters. Who was Lohar? One of the three elders of the Silver Fox clan! He held high status and power within the clan, second only to the two divine kings and the grand elder. His prestige even surpassed that of Oben, who was the second elder! Yet now, with his most cherished son killed, he didn’t even dare to make a sound! For a time, the members of the Silver Fox clan began speculating about the identities of Huang Liang and his group, with all sorts of theories circulating. Some said they were supreme elders, newly recruited by King Leviathan and highly trusted by her. Others claimed the three siblings were descendants of the Fire Sun Divine King’s family, while even more absurd claims labeled them as half-saints or something similar. Hearing these rumors, the Yellow Dragon simply shook his head and smiled. Half-saints? He had indeed seen one before—the Cambrian Sacred Beast by the Mysterious Yellow River was a half-saint—but he had nothing to do with it. Over the few days in the Li Tian Mountains, Leviathan hadn’t mentioned the Heavenly Cauldron. Since she didn’t bring it up, the Yellow Dragon also ignored it. After all, there was still time before the competition, so there was no need to rush. Thus, the Yellow Dragon practiced cultivation whenever he had free time, striving to enhance his magical power. And so, half a month passed.

That day, Huang Long was practicing meditation when a thought struck him, and he stopped practicing, stood up, and left the great hall. There, he saw Livia approaching.
When Livia saw Huang Long come out, she wasn’t surprised and said, “Come with me to see our sister!”
See Goddess Queen Ziniya? Huang Long pondered, “Is it about the Heavenly Cauldron?”
Livia nodded without saying anything, clearly upset.
Seeing this, Huang Long had an idea. It seemed Livia had already discussed the Heavenly Cauldron with Ziniya, and her unhappiness was because Ziniya disagreed?!
“Let’s go!” Livia said, then turned and left.
Huang Long didn’t ask further and followed her to the Silver Fox Clan’s sacred temple.
Upon arriving, there was no need for an announcement. Livia led Huang Long straight in. Inside the temple, Goddess Queen Ziniya was waiting for them.
“Huang Long, you’ve come,” Ziniya said first upon seeing Livia bring Huang Long in. “Livia has told me about your matter, but…” She paused here.
Huang Long remained calm and said, “Goddess Queen Ziniya, please speak freely.”
“The matter of the Heavenly Cauldron concerns the survival of my Silver Fox Clan, so…” Ziniya shook her head. “I’m sorry, but I can’t agree.”
Although Huang Long had guessed the outcome from Livia’s expression earlier, hearing Ziniya’s decision still struck him hard, and he sighed.
Couldn’t agree?! Huang Long could tell from her tone that she was resolute—there was no room for negotiation.
Could he only seek other solutions?!
