Yuan Lake Water Palace.
Civil servants and military generals stood in rows.
At the upper end, Yuan Lake Water Lord and the Min River Dragon Girl were seated with dignity.
From outside the hall,
Zhang Shu strode in with the power of a dragon and the grace of a tiger, holding a Turtle-Backed Alligator Dragon Spear in one hand and dragging a burly man whose size dwarfed his by several magnitudes. Throwing the bound and immobile man to the ground inside the hall, he bowed to the head of the hall, loudly proclaiming: "Your subordinate pays respects to Your Lordship and Your Highness. The demon troops at the southern side of Sawtooth Mountain have been repelled. The vanguard general of the demon army, Zhu Shan, is here; please, Your Lordship, deal with him!"
Zhang Shu's voice was loud and resonant, echoing throughout the hall.
