It has been nearly ten days since any news from the Dragon Palace after Ao Bing returned. Life has been tranquil.
Nezha has been cultivating daily and has absorbed more than half of the Primordial Qi contained within Li Gen's Golden Core. Now, in his Qi Sea, the accumulated Primordial Qi has formed a calm pond about thirty feet in diameter.
Meanwhile, a nearby fishing village was stirred with people wanting to elect a Great Witch. Nezha personally took action and quelled the situation by striking down three people with his thunderous methods.
Many villagers, having seen the previous sacrifices shortened and then witnessing Nezha successively slaying Yaksha and the Great Witch, noticed that the Dragon Palace no longer troubled the border. Even the fishermen's daily ventures were calm and bountiful.
There were even rumors saying that the Dragon Palace did not stay idle but sent Ao Bing, the third prince of Dragon King, to capture Nezha, only to be killed by him.
