I Swear I Don't Have A Python In My Pool

Chapter 555: Weighing The Odds

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After hearing the West Sea Dragon King’s furious words, Wang Mang was dumbfounded.

It was obvious that the West Sea Dragon King was biased!

However, Wang Mang did not speak, as this was exactly what he wanted to see.

The deeper the conflict between the West Sea Dragon King and the Crown Prince grew, the better it was for him. The likelihood of the Crown Prince submitting to him would exponentially increase.

Wang Mang was extremely satisfied with the result. After all, despite his bias, the West Sea Dragon King could not go back on his words, so the Crown Prince would remain the heir of the West Sea Dragon Palace.

When he saw the ugly expressions of the three generals, he felt even better.

Similarly, Wang Long was also smiling.

It was obvious that he had made the right bet this time!

Now, he and the Deep Sea Python clan had won the favor of the Crown Prince. Once the Crown Prince ascended to the throne, they would be able to reap the benefits of their choice.

Hearing the West Sea Dragon King berate him, the Crown Prince replied respectfully, “Royal Father, injuries are inevitable in fights. Moreover, Third Brother was unwilling to admit defeat, which is why 1 had to be a little more heavy-handed.”

Wang Mang could see anger in the Crown Prince’s eyes. Obviously, the Crown Prince was very dissatisfied with the West Sea Dragon King’s obvious bias.

After hearing the Crown Prince’s words, the West Sea Dragon King snorted coldly and said, “Alright! All of you can leave!”

“From today onwards, the position of the heir to the West Sea Dragon Palace is yours. I will announce this to the other dragon palaces and the dragon clan.”

After saying that, the West Sea Dragon King waved his hand, indicating that everyone could leave.

Seeing this, Wang Mang nodded slightly, cupped his hands in a hypocritical manner and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Wu Jing’s face was gloomy as he walked over to Wang Mang with Chang Chun and Lu Huai.

He looked at Wang Mang with a dark expression and said with a murderous intent, “Don’t for one second think that you’ve gained a firm foothold in the West Sea Dragon Palace.”

“If the Crown Prince dies, he can be replaced! If the Great General of Longwei died, he could also be replaced!”

“Since you dared to kill our clan’s second elder, be prepared to face the wrath of our Dragon King Whale clan!”

Hearing this, Wang Mang sneered coldly, “Oh no! I’m so scared! How many clan members will you bring along for me to kill?”

“Do you think that your Taiyi Golden Immortal realm expert can do anything to me? Stop dreaming! If you’re not afraid of death, come at me!”

“You… Very good! Just wait and see!”

The exasperated Wu Long left with the others in a huff.

At this time, Wang Long walked up to Wang Mang worriedly and asked, “Did the Dragon King Whale clan send a powerful expert to kill you?”

Wang Mang nodded indifferently and said coldly, “They sent a late-stage Golden Immortal realm expert, but he died by my hands.”

“Even if they send a Taiyi Golden Immortal realm expert, I’m not afraid!”

Wang Long was relieved to see Wang Mang so confident. It seemed that his choice was indeed not wrong, and Wang Mang was somehow able to contend against a Taiyi Golden Immortal realm expert.

If so, once Wang Mang became a Tier 5 expert, he would be able to control the entire West Sea Dragon Palace.

Then, he remembered something and quickly said respectfully, “Great General Longwei, the Crown Prince asked me to pass you a message. In the future, he will definitely follow your lead!”

Hearing this, Wang Mang revealed a satisfied smile and said in a good mood, “That’s great!”

After all, Wang Mang had not helped the crown prince for no reason, and it seemed that the Crown Prince was smart enough to realize this.

After parting ways, Wang Mang returned to the Dragon Might Palace.

In truth, Wang Mang wanted to quickly deal with the Dragon King Whale clan and take control of the West Sea Dragon Palace. Once he did so, he would be able to leave for the Heavenly Court to become an official.

However, the problem was that while Wang Mang was confident that he could contend against a Taiyi Golden Immortal realm expert, killing that expert was another matter altogether.

Furthermore, he did not know how many experts were waiting for him there, and was not willing to find out the hard way.

In addition, even if he went all out to suppress the Dragon King Whale clan, the rewards he obtained might not be worth it.

Indeed, he could use Demon God’s Fury to raise his strength to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, and would then be able to deal with the clan.

However, if he raised his strength to the first level of the Taiyi Immortal realm, his cultivation level would fall to the eighth level of the Immortal Emperor realm after the battle.

The rewards he obtained would barely be enough to raise his cultivation level back to what it was.

Wang Mang fell into a state of deep thought. Should he take it slow, or should he take the chance?

“Wait! I miscalculated something!”

Wang Mang’s eyes suddenly lit up.

His mission reward for destroying the Dragon King Whale clan was 2 million energy points! There was also an Immortal Treasure Chest!

If his cultivation level fell to the eighth level of the Immortal Emperor realm, it was equivalent to consuming 2.6 million energy points, which would be the amount he had spent to advance from the eighth level of the Immortal Emperor realm to the ninth level.

However, what if Wang Mang managed to destroy both the Dragon King Whale clan and the Sea Dragon clan at the same time?

At that time, Wang Mang’s reward would be 2 million energy points, 1 Immortal Treasure Chest, and the corpses of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm experts!

In this way, he would still be able to earn a profit!

After pondering for a moment, Wang Mang made his decision.

F*ck! He would do it!

He would eliminate the clans under the three generals, the Dragon King Whale clan, the Sea Dragon clan, and the Sea Turtle clan. In this way, he would also be able to intimidate the West Sea Dragon King.

Moments later, Wang Mang immediately got up and left the Dragon Might Palace, hurrying toward the Dragon King Whale clan’s territory.

Half an hour later, he arrived at his destination. Incidentally, they were sharing this territory with the Sea Dragon clan. It seemed that because the difference in strength between the two clans was not big, they could live in peace together.

When he arrived, Wang Mang shouted angrily, “Dragon King Whale clan, show yourselves! I’m here to exterminate all of you!”

Seconds later, he sensed several auras rushing out of a palace in the distance. Shockingly, the Dragon King Whale clan actually had four Golden Immortal realm experts and a Taiyi Golden Immortal realm expert!

The Taiyi Golden Immortal realm expert was an old man with a head full of white hair. He had an indifferent expression on his face.

When he saw Wang Mang, the white-haired old man, Wu Long, said furiously, “Wang Mang! We didn’t kill you, yet you actually came looking for us!”

“You dare to threaten to exterminate my Dragon King Whale clan? Ridiculous! You’re an ant who has overestimated his own strength!”

He then chuckled and said, “You bastard, you sure have a big mouth! I was still hesitating whether 1 should personally take action, but it seems that you’ve delivered yourself to my doorstep!”

“Do you believe that I can crush you to death with just one finger?”
