"Celestial Palace?"

The Black Dragon King, James Stone, raised his thick eyebrows slightly: "Is it Yao Xiongnu's daughter in charge now?"

The Azure Dragon King nodded: "Yes, with Nico Weaver absent, as the only daughter, she naturally has to take on the heavy responsibilities of the Celestial Palace."

James Stone rubbed his chin, his tone disdainful: "She's just a young girl, I doubt she can hold the place together."

The Azure Dragon King responded: "The First Chief Guard of the Immortal Palace, Daniel Patel, is helping her. It's said that a few days ago they attacked the Southern Alliance of the Heavenly Alliance on the Heavenly Profound Continent, eliminating over ten Heavenly Immortals and nearly five hundred True and Golden Immortals, completely destroying the Southern Alliance, with virtually no losses on the Celestial Palace's side..."

James Stone raised his eyes in surprise: "Really that fierce? Who said that?"

"The Immortal Palace Envoy."

The Azure Dragon King replied: "This Envoy is quite special, he's Alfred Weaver's lifesaver. It's because of him that Alfred Weaver could be resurrected, and he's also Bank Austin's disciple..."

When the Azure Dragon King mentioned the last sentence, his expression became somewhat peculiar, as if waiting to see some amusing development.

James Stone's face froze for a moment, eyes filled with disbelief: "Bank Austin? Are you serious?"

The Azure Dragon King laughed: "Of course I'm serious. I remember Bank Austin beat you up so badly back then..."

James Stone's face flushed, and he gritted his teeth: "He was injured too, wasn't he?"

The Azure Dragon King chuckled: "Exactly, if that's considered an injury, you could say it was a draw, couldn't you? Hahaha..."

"What's so funny?"

James Stone sneered: "It's not like you won, you lost too, didn't you?"

The Azure Dragon King nodded: "I did lose, but I knew I couldn't beat him, so I didn't embarrass myself as much, unlike you, who couldn't accept defeat and ended up getting beaten all over..."

"I call that toughness!"

James Stone rolled his eyes: "How did Bank Austin's disciple end up involved with the Celestial Palace? I remember Bank Austin also fought with Nico Weaver back then, but no one knows the outcome. Shortly after, he left the Thunder Immortal Realm."

The Azure Dragon King sighed: "You have to believe, some things are destined. Carson Flores, Bank Austin's disciple, came from the Lower Realm. He first saved Alfred Weaver, then came to the Immortal Realm, and only later became a disciple of Bank Austin's Primordial Spirit Incarnation, receiving the Heavenly Sword Inheritance. Now he's at the Celestial Palace, just helping Alfred Weaver."

James Stone chuckled: "Helping that little girl, could it be he's taken a liking to her?"

The Azure Dragon King nodded: "It's possible, which is why I wanted to ask your opinion. After all, Nico Weaver has only been gone for five hundred years; he's not dead. We should at least respect him. However, the forces behind the Heavenly Alliance are powerful, choosing sides is difficult."

James Stone pondered: "Since the Celestial Palace has spoken, let's suspend our dealings for now. We should give a little face, otherwise, if that guy returns and says we bullied his daughter with outsiders, it would be a bit embarrassing."

The Azure Dragon King stared at James Stone: "It's not just the two of us dealing with them. I can give you face, but others might not be willing."

James Stone sneered: "I don't care about them! If they continue, let them be. At least I'm giving that guy face, so even if something happens afterward, it can't be blamed on me, and I don't need to care about the rest."

The Azure Dragon King nodded: "Alright, mention it when we meet tomorrow, follow through as you please, then I can reply to that tough little guy."

James Stone was surprised: "Tough?"

The Azure Dragon King laughed: "Yes, he wasn't afraid in the slightest under my pressure, even daring to make threats. He's pretty tough, just lacking in strength, being only mid-stage True Immortal, otherwise, he'd probably be another Bank Austin."

James Stone laughed: "Isn't that normal? If Bank Austin's disciple were a pushover, I'd probably feel the need to discipline him for his teacher. Wouldn't that be an embarrassment to his teacher?"

The Azure Dragon King laughed heartily: "His teacher beat you up, and you still want to discipline his disciple for him?"

James Stone snorted coldly: "Bank Austin defeated me, I accept that because it's true strength. But if his disciple, using his name, turned out to be a coward, it would be an embarrassment to his teacher and an insult to me too. Shouldn't I give him a beating?"

The Azure Dragon King chuckled: "That kid doesn't know the grievances between his teacher and us old folks; he hasn't been a disciple for long. But he's not easy to bully. On the way here, a group of kids from my clan tried to provoke him, wanting to suppress him by suggesting a contest with equal strength, only to get beaten up one by one, unable to lift their heads..."

James Stone's eyes lit up: "Well, getting the better of Dragon Clan on Dragon Clan territory, that kid indeed has his teacher's style. I must meet him sometime and weigh him myself."

The Azure Dragon King's smile faded: "Suit yourself; at tomorrow's opening ceremony, take it easy. The Sacred Place seems a bit unstable; I'm not sure what's happening inside, but I feel something might go wrong..."
