Chapter 2335 - 2338: Provocation? Kneel Down and Select Pearls for Me! (Fifth Update)

"Stop!" Watching a multitude of Great Sea Demons, waiting for nearly an hour and finally unable to hold back, Uncle Gui rushed following the strong sea demon, erupted with True Yuan, and flashed to block the entrance of the Treasure Vault.

"Those who intrude shall die!"

Uncle Gui shouted sternly.

Moreover, his heart was extremely anxious at this moment because compared to Shen Qiang, he knew these sea demons better.

Once they find out that Shen Qiang promised to open the vault but hasn't, these sea demons will undoubtedly resort to violence and will not listen to any explanation from Shen Qiang.

Even if Shen Qiang uses a virus to subdue them, they will absolutely not allow Shen Qiang to return to the Dragon Palace.

Unless Shen Qiang is willing to give up the position of Dragon Emperor, to relinquish control of the Sea Border, to forsake the Three Divine Artifacts, and abandon the treasures collected by the Dragon Emperor, otherwise there will be a no turning back, never-ending conflict.

"Prime Minister Turtle, please step aside. There's been no movement for so long, perhaps the impostor Dragon Emperor has already escaped, so if you stand in the way, we can only assume you're colluding with him."

"Hmph, weren't you the manager at Heshenghe? Shen Qiang is the boss there, and you conspired with him to impersonate the Dragon Emperor, right? Otherwise, why hasn't Shen Qiang come out for so long? Aren't you curious?"

"He definitely ran away!" A sea demon bared its fangs.

Uncle Gui was furious, not only did True Yuan explode, but he also roared sharply, "Intruders die, it's the rule!"

"That was the old rule, it's not anymore." A Great Sea Demon sneered, "Move aside, or we'll get rid of you now."

Upon hearing this, the sea demons who followed Shen Qiang to Atlantic City were stunned.

"What if I don't let you!" Uncle Gui was enraged.

Boom!

Despite being poisoned and meant to rest, the Sea Demon King Yu Jiang arrived, furious, "Trying to rebel? I can kill you all if you don't believe it!"

Hearing this, the Great Sea Demon sneered, "The two of you are colluding with Shen Qiang, impersonating the Dragon Emperor, it's a grave disrespect, step aside immediately; considering our old ties, we might spare your lives, but if you continue blocking us, don't blame us for being rude."

Yu Jiang was furious.

But just as he was about to act.

A lazy voice of Shen Qiang came from the Treasury, "Yo, accustomed to bullying your own, itching to fight, aren't you? Then come down, all who went to Atlantic City with me, come down at once, collect your treasures."

Upon hearing this, the gathered demons were momentarily stunned.

After exchanging glances.

The leading Great Sea Demon snorted coldly, "Let's go down, we want to see what tricks he can play."

At this moment, due to Shen Qiang's words, neither Uncle Gui nor Yu Jiang could stop them, considering that if things got dire, they could protect Shen Qiang by fighting to the end, Uncle Gui exchanged a glance with Yu Jiang and then turned around, leading the way into the Dragon Emperor's Treasure Vault.

Yu Jiang along with the twenty-seven sea demons returned from Atlantic City followed closely behind.

Though Yu Jiang's brows were furrowed, they were ecstatic.

"Hmph, Dragon Emperor's power is beyond your imagination, he would never run away, what a joke!"

"It's laughable, the Dragon Emperor controls life and death, demands Athena, Athena comes, commands the Sea Emperor to obediently deliver pearls, he delivers pearls. Even if he's pretending, I'd still follow him!"

"Exactly, those who haven't seen Dragon Emperor's might will never understand what it means to be a true overlord!"

The twenty-seven elite demons sneered, following Uncle Gui and Yu Jiang into the vault.

"Hmph, if there's no certainty, the Sea Emperor would never claim Shen Qiang isn't Dragon Emperor. Let's go inside, if he can open the vault then well; if not, then he's an impostor, we'll take him out right away."

The sea demon next to him hesitated, "What about Yu Jiang and Gui Yuanba?"

"Take them out too!" The leading Great Sea Demon coldly said, "Then Qian Ning is mine, Athena is up to you."

Instantly, the eyes of all Great Sea Demons gleamed, filled with excitement and murderous intent, they agreed in unison.

Then hurriedly rushed into Dragon Emperor's Dragon Cave.

The flat and clean steps of the Treasury, the interior glowing brightly, once inside the Treasure Vault, the aggressive sea demons were stunned, seeing mountains of pearls and the majestic golden gates with mysterious engravings exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

The grandeur and solemnity of it all.

In an instant, they felt utterly shocked.

Not only this but what shocked them further was that outside the vault, on both sides, there were piles of gold and jewels.

And at this moment, Shen Qiang and several beauties were sitting at a table, selecting top-grade deep-sea pearls.

The twenty-seven returned Great Sea Demons, along with Yu Jiang and Uncle Gui, stood at the entrance of the Treasure Vault, staring in awe at the enormous golden gates.

"Just now you were outside babbling that I ran away, wanting to kill and slash, right?" Sitting at the table, Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow.

The leading Great Sea Demon said, "I..."

"Alright, you admitted it, cut the crap, watch." Shen Qiang calmly waved a hand.

Rumble!

The golden door with mysterious engravings slowly opened, and inside the vault, not only was it dazzlingly bright, but also a powerful aura of slaughter surged out, chilling almost all sea demons present to their core.

"The vault has opened!"

The aggressive sea demons' faces changed drastically.

"The one leading, kneel!" Shen Qiang calmly said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you. There are seventy thousand top-grade deep-sea pearls here, I need to select the best for these ladies to make jewelry, let's see... a thousand then, here, all for you, choose carefully while kneeling. No rush, once you've selected, hand them to me; our grievances will end there. If not, I'll come after you later."

With Shen Qiang's smile and teasing gaze, he seemed devilish.

Seventy thousand pearls, selecting the best thousand?

The gathered demons were instantly shocked.

The leading sea demon looked at the open vault door, then at Shen Qiang, glanced behind him as if seeking help from other sea demons who entered with him, but found they had retreated instantly, leaving him standing alone.

Pausing momentarily, he sighed, said nothing, directly knelt before Shen Qiang, reverently receiving the pearls from Shen Qiang's hands, tears of happiness flowed.

Those returning from Atlantic City laughed boisterously.

"Pearl quality depends on shape, luster, size, blemishes, color spots, color inconsistency, and other factors, not discernible by Divine Sense. To identify a top pearl in this batch, it must be compared to the others. Haha, even without sleep for over three months, don't think about finishing the selection, hahaha..."

Among their snickers and the leading sea demon's tears of happiness, Shen Qiang smiled lightly, "The rule is to enter in sequence, orderly take, each person a handful, within three seconds. Once selected, come out, don't affect others. Begin, take your rewards!"

Hearing this, a wildly overjoyed sea demon rushed straight into the vault.

The beautiful Mermaid Princess immediately clutched Shen Qiang's arm tightly, not only were her eyes filled with anxiety, but her soft palms were also drenched in fragrant sweat.
