The Patriarch of the Xuanwu clan looked at the Turtle Prime Minister, his tone extremely displeased, "Old turtle, we can't just let our people from the four clans die like this, can we?"
The Patriarch of the Qinglong clan also looked at the Turtle Prime Minister with ill intentions, as if ready to smash the old turtle's shell if a single word was out of place!
Seeing the four staring at him menacingly, the Turtle Prime Minister felt a pang of displeasure. The Vermilion Bird and White Tiger were one thing, but the Qinglong and Xuanwu had once served under the Ancestral Dragon. It was unexpected that they would be so aggressive today!
Knowing he was no match for the four, the Turtle Prime Minister's mind stirred. He pointed to the corpses of the Four Dragon Kings in the distance.
"What explanation do you four want? The culprits are right there. Go ask them for it?"
The Vermilion Bird's face darkened. He cursed this old fellow for being so shameless, pushing all the blame onto four corpses!
The other three also looked at the Turtle Prime Minister with hostility. This old fellow was truly skilled with words, using dead bodies to bear the blame for the Dragon clan, even after death!
Fu Xi and the others were completely astonished by their perception of the Turtle Prime Minister. He was utterly shameless. He had just killed the Four Dragon Kings to appease the Human clan, and now he was using their corpses to placate the four clans. It was truly "making the most of everything," wasting nothing!

Even the sea creatures of the East Sea looked at the Turtle Prime Minister incredulously. The Four Dragon Kings had served the Dragon clan diligently, only to meet such an end!
Seeing everyone looking at him, the Turtle Prime Minister knew he might have gone a bit too far. However, when he thought about how he could dismiss the four clans with four dead dragons, he felt it was not a big deal.
They were dead anyway, and it would be their honor to serve the Dragon clan one last time!
Bai Jin saw the Turtle Prime Minister standing there without further comment and was furious. This shameless creature was as shameless as ever! He immediately shouted:
"Old turtle, you're just going to dismiss me with four corpses?"
The Turtle Prime Minister glanced dismissively at Bai Jin and said nonchalantly:
"Big white cat, what more do you want? Our dignified Four Dragon Kings of the Dragon clan have unfortunately perished. What else do you want?"
"Whether it was your White Tiger clan, your Vermilion Bird clan, your Xuanwu clan, or your Qinglong clan, your people all met their deaths at the hands of the Four Dragon Kings. I have already purged the traitors for the Ancestral Dragon. What else do you want?"
The Patriarch of the Qinglong clan glared at the Turtle Prime Minister, shouting furiously:
"Spare the nonsense! Others may not know, but I do! The dragon pearls of the Four Dragon Kings have been destroyed, leaving them no hope of survival. You merely hastened their deaths. Are you really going to use four dying wastes to compensate for the lives lost from our four clans?"
Upon hearing this, everyone finally understood. No wonder the Turtle Prime Minister had glanced at the Four Dragon Kings before sending them on their way. He had indeed been planning this all along!
The Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Xuanwu then realized that the dragon pearls of the Dragon clan were indeed connected to their lives!
The way the four looked at the Turtle Prime Minister became even more hostile!
Hearing this, the Turtle Prime Minister was also startled. The connection between the dragon pearls and the lives of the Dragon clan was something only the Ancestral Dragon had told him. Otherwise, even he would not have known. He wondered where the Qinglong had learned of this!
The Turtle Prime Minister quickly retorted:
"Qinglong, stop slandering me! How could I not know about this connection between the dragon pearls and the Dragon clan? Lord Ancestral Dragon never mentioned it to me. Stop trying to defame me!"
The Qinglong looked at the Turtle Prime Minister with ill will and said calmly:
"Is it true or not? Do you want me to prove it to you in front of everyone?"
A ripple finally appeared on the Turtle Prime Minister's placid face. If everyone were to know, not only would the four clans not let it go, but the Human clan would also intervene!
As expected, upon hearing the Qinglong's words, Fu Xi and the others' expressions turned hostile?
Seeing this, the Turtle Prime Minister cursed the Qinglong to a miserable death internally. He had already managed to deceive Fu Xi and the others, but the Qinglong's few words had caused his plan to fail!
Among the patriarchs of the four clans, Bai Jin had the worst temper. Upon learning the truth, he directly attacked the Turtle Prime Minister!
The Turtle Prime Minister's eyelids twitched. The four clan leaders were the ones he least wanted to face. This old fellow was already so old, yet his temper was still so fiery!
The Turtle Prime Minister cursed internally. He despised people like this the most; with such a fiery temper, they wouldn't live long!
The Turtle Prime Minister did not dare to be negligent. He quickly formed seals with his hands and unleashed his divine ability to block Bai Jin's attack!
Although the Turtle Prime Minister was slow, just as Bai Jin's attack was about to strike him, the turtle shell on his back suddenly shone brightly. Everyone gazed intently and saw the Turtle Prime Minister standing within a ghostly, dark green turtle shell!
The Qinglong, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu twitched their lips, feeling utterly speechless. They hadn't expected this old turtle to be so obsessed with his own life, immediately unleashing his innate divine ability!
They had all come from the same era and were well aware of each other's abilities. That ghostly, dark green turtle shell was the Turtle Prime Minister's innate divine ability—Taiping Wuyou (Peace and No Worries)!
Although this Turtle Prime Minister was a trusted minister under the Ancestral Dragon, it wasn't due to his immense power, but rather because he was the Ancestral Dragon's cunning advisor.
In fact, this old turtle's offensive power was almost zero among his peers, causing little damage. However, it was precisely because of this that heaven and earth had bestowed him with the innate divine ability of Taiping Wuyou.
His innate divine ability was truly strange. As long as he used it, he could almost stand in an invincible position. During the war between the three clans, the Grand Elders of the Qilin and Phoenix clans had joined forces to attack his turtle shell, but they couldn't break it, which had infuriated them immensely!
Later, the two elders and the third elder of the Qilin and Phoenix clans also joined forces, but still couldn't break it, driving the six of them to the brink of death!
After unleashing his innate divine ability, the Turtle Prime Minister looked at Bai Jin with a smile.
"Big white cat, why be so angry? Be careful not to live long. Let's sit down and talk slowly!"
Seeing the Turtle Prime Minister's obnoxious expression, Bai Jin's anger flared. He turned to look at the Xuanwu!
"Xuanwu, you are also skilled in defense. Do you have any way to break this old turtle's shell? Today, we will feast on turtle!"
The Xuanwu gently shook his head upon hearing this.
"Bai Jin, this old turtle is the first spirit turtle in heaven and earth. He is naturally invincible in defense. Why don't you try capturing him and taking him back to your clan as a mount for an excellent descendant? It would probably be more torturous than killing him."
"Although his defense is invincible, you know his other abilities. It's just his turtle shell that's exceptionally hard!"
Bai Jin's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he thought Xuanwu's suggestion was excellent!
Hearing this, the Turtle Prime Minister glared at Xuanwu. Xuanwu, who also possessed a turtle shell, had come up with such a wicked idea for this big white cat! However, he was not worried at all. If he could hold back the six elders of the Qilin and Phoenix clans by himself back then, did they really think he had no other tricks up his sleeve!
