The Heavenly Emperor was about to speak when Huayangzi from the position to the right stepped forward and, bowing respectfully, said.
"Your Majesty, the trouble with Shang Shui originates from the Dragon Palace. Slaying dragons only serves as a temporary solution and does not address the root cause. Moreover, ceaselessly killing members of the Dragon Clan and deepening enmity with the Dragon Palace will only lead to more disaster as malevolent dragons rebel!"
The Heavenly Emperor had yet to speak when Wuyazi from the Severing Heaven Sect on the left voiced his disagreement.
"According to the intention of the Eastern Emperor, are we to bow to the Dragon Clan? Such an act would damage the prestige of the Heavenly Court and undermine our rule over Dongsheng Divine Continent."
"Amitabha!"
