"The appearance of the evil Demon's main body is just a matter of time. Now, the vast Merfolk Race no longer has an Emperor Wu."
The price of greed was really high. Nine people on the level of Emperor Wu died just like that.
Without needing Yao Yan to say anything, Xiao Chen could roughly guess how these Emperor Wu died. They definitely did not listen to advice and relied on their Emperor Wu's cultivation to enter without preparing a Lightning-Attributed True Flame.
They thought that by gathering the strength of eight Emperor Wu's, they would be able to do as they pleased in the Palace of Neptune, looting all the treasures in there before leaving calmly.
However, Xiao Chen guessed wrong. Yao Yan's next words truly startled Xiao Chen.
The appetite of the Merfolk Race's Emperor Wu was unexpectedly huge. They actually wanted to swallow up the entire Palace of Neptune along with the evil Demon clones, turning their Race Head into the new Neptune.
"Two years ago, I held the Extreme Thunder Sword and entered alone. I thought that the Extreme Thunder True Flame in the Extreme Thunder Sword could suppress the evil Demon clones for a hundred years. Who knew, the evil Demon clones that swallowed up Emperor Wu were not completely killed by me at that time. Now, they have already revived.
"The Extreme Thunder True Flame in the Extreme Thunder Sword has already been worn down by these evil Demon clones over the past two years. If we do not think of a way, the evil Demon's main body will definitely break free within half a year. At that time, the entire Chaotic Demonic Sea will suffer a disaster.
"I would like to ask Young Master Xiao to make a move and use the Purple Thunder True Flame to sweep away these evil Demon clones. Then, together with the Extreme Thunder Sword, we can completely suppress the evil Demon's main body."
Xiao Chen listened quietly. As the moonlight shone down, he only drank without saying anything.
By the time Yao Yan finished speaking, the wine in the wine bottle had finished. Perhaps it was a coincidence or not. Xiao Chen shook the wine bottle. Indeed, it was empty. Yao Yan had indeed finished speaking.
After putting away the wine bottle, Xiao Chen waved his hand. The bright moon in the sky shook gently and turned into beams of gentle light that scattered into the sky.
Yao Yan was taken aback. Looking at the disappearing moon, she didn't realize until now that it was Xiao Chen's creation. How could there be a moon at the bottom of the sea?
Xiao Chen saw this subtle expression and sighed silently in his heart. He reached out and sucked the Neptune headscarf over from the table and tied it around his forehead again.
Yao Yan was a little nervous. He didn't know what Xiao Chen was thinking. If he knew the truth, would he still help him?
"Strange, Your Highness, are you not done yet?"
Xiao Chen fastened Neptune's headscarf and looked at Yao Yan who hadn't left yet.
Yao Yan was stunned at first. Then, she exclaimed in pleasant surprise, "Young Master Xiao, you're not leaving?"
Xiao Chen revealed a warm smile on his cold face. He said, "When did I say that I was leaving? On the other hand, Your Highness, it is a long night. You have already said what you wanted to say, yet you are still not leaving. Are you not planning to leave tonight?"
After understanding Xiao Chen's meaning, Yao Yan could not help but blush. She glanced at Xiao Chen, who seemed to be smiling, and quickly left.
"White Robed King, Yao Yan will forever remember your kindness. The Merfolk Race will forever remember it as well."
An exquisite voice drifted over from the air. When Xiao Chen heard it, he was slightly entranced.
Xiao Chen opened his palm, and a painting appeared in his palm. The painting slowly unfurled, and the Qing Emperor's appearance entered his eyes once more.
Xiao Chen said somewhat self-deprecatingly, "Ten thousand years ago, you thought that you were very smart and merged your seal with Neptune's Palace, materializing a perfect seal. However, who could have imagined that the human heart is the hardest to fathom? That perfect seal back then brought a calamity to the Merfolk Race? "
If the Qing Emperor had not merged his seal with Neptune's Palace back then, such a thing would not have happened, leaving such a terrible mess for Xiao Chen.
The cause of ten thousand years ago was the effect of ten thousand years later. It was time to end this karma.
Xiao Chen put away the painting and revealed a resolute expression. He did not enter his room to rest. Instead, he rushed to Long Fei and Qi Wuxue's residences and asked them about the people who had taken advantage of the chaos to come and how strong they were.
After Xiao Chen obtained the information he wanted, he frowned heavily. The situation was much more complicated than he had imagined.
Right now, the greatest problem was not the evil Demon clones in Neptune's Palace. Instead, it was the various experts who came for the treasures in Neptune's Palace.
Several of them had come uninvited, not having received an invitation at all. Not only would they not be of any help, but they would even add to the chaos.
Xiao Chen told Qi Wuxue and Long Fei about his plans and intentions, not hiding anything.
After the two heard it, they could not help feeling somewhat disappointed. Qi Wuxue said, "Brother Xiao, it's not that I want to criticize you, but the mess that the Qing Emperor left ten thousand years ago really has nothing to do with you. Besides, it's the big shots of the Merfolk Race who brought this upon themselves because of their greed. Why do you have to fall headfirst into it? "
"This time, many of the people who came uninvited are old fellows from the Primal Chaos Domain. All of them are old monsters who have lived for one or two hundred years."
Long Fei also felt surprised at Xiao Chen's choice. He advised, "Xiao Chen, you have to think this through. There are many things in Neptune's Palace. Back then, the Qing Emperor did not take them away because he did not fancy them. However, to us, they are all supreme treasures.
"You are kind enough to not let those people in and send themselves to death, increasing the strength of the evil Demon clones. However, others might not think that way. They might just think that you want to keep the treasures for yourself."
Qi Wuxue nodded and said, "That's right. Furthermore, I heard that the Qing Emperor did not touch Neptune's corpse out of respect. The Divine Rain Robes it wore, the Neptune Scepter in its hand, the Neptune Crown on its head, and the Chasing Wave Boots on its feet are all still there.
"Which one of them is not something that drives people crazy? Coincidentally, the Merfolk Race's Emperor Wu is all dead. The few Blue Robed Emperors are all busy protecting the outermost seal and cannot spare any attention. These fellows will absolutely not let go of this opportunity."
Xiao Chen's eyes were as clear as water, and his face was as calm as a lake. Then, he turned around and looked to the front.
In the pitch-black night, the man-made Astral Gems gave off light in the sky, decorating this dreamy castle. This was an extremely serene and beautiful castle.
After looking for a long time, Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze and said, "Sometimes, after admitting to some things, one has to bear some responsibility. If I run away today, I will not have any psychological burden if I run into similar things in the future. In that case, why did I admit to my identity in front of everyone in the world back then?
"Many thanks to the two of you for your kind intentions and information. If there is a fight in Neptune's palace, I will help the two of you once. Goodbye."
As Qi Wuxue watched Xiao Chen's departing figure, he said helplessly, "This Brother Xiao is still unfathomable. His life is too tiring. There will probably be a good show to watch tomorrow morning."
Long Fei opened his folding fan and gently fanned himself. He said in frustration, "Right now, everyone in the world knows that he is a descendant of the Qing Emperor. After the King conferral ceremony, he will officially inherit the title of Blue Dragon King. You only see the glorious side but cannot see the hidden pressure of being a descendant of the Qing Emperor.
"So, you are the ruffian Qi Wuxue, and he is the famous Blue Dragon King. The one who cannot see through is you."
Feeling unconvinced, Qi Wuxue said, "Hey, Long Fei, why are you siding with an outsider? Don't forget that he beat you up into a sorry state on Dragon Wood Star. Why are you speaking up for him so quickly?"
Long Fei closed his folding fan and revealed an arrogant expression on his fair face. He said, "I am not someone who cannot afford to lose. Back then, I dared to fight him fair and square after he broke through. In the future, when I obtain the title of White Bone King, I will naturally fight him fair and square."
Qi Wuxue smiled and said, "Fine, fine, fine. This brother will not argue with you now. Hehe! In another ten years, I want to see you become the White Bone Sovereign and get beaten up by Xiao Chen. That would be thrilling and exciting. "
"Bang!"
Long Fei opened his folding fan and smashed it at Qi Wuxue. Qi Wuxue chuckled and stretched out his hand to block this attack.
"A dog's mouth cannot spit out ivory. I'll beat you until you can't get up."
"What can you do to me? My Turbid Heaven Demonic Art has improved significantly recently."
As the two bickered, they started fighting. However, they clearly did not use much strength. Otherwise, the roof would have been blown off long ago.
--- Early in the morning, the light barrier above the castle shone with a boundless light, simulating the vigorous glow of dawn and waking up the people sleeping in this dreamy city.
Several old men exuding baleful auras had arrived early in the largest plaza of the city. They sat expressionlessly on stone stools.
As the sky brightened, the number of cultivators rushing over to the plaza gradually increased. These people were not Merfolk. One could easily tell them from the color of their hair. However, all of them were terrifyingly strong.
The weakest among them was a Medial Grade Martial Sage. As for the old monsters giving off baleful auras, their cultivations were even higher. They were at least Superior Grade Martial Sages. Among them, there was a three-fingered old man with white hair who was a peak Superior Grade Martial Sage.
This old man was only one step short of having the air of a grandmaster. Then, he would truly become a grandmaster-level Martial Sage.
The people of the Primal Chaos Domain would not be unfamiliar with this old man's identity. This fellow was a rather famous loose cultivator. Of course, he was infamous.
He specialized in poison and came from the famous Five Poison Sect of the Profound Domain. Later, he broke the sect's rules and experimented on living people. After that, he betrayed the Five Poison Sect. Even now, he was still wanted by the Five Poison Sect.
However, he was still alive and well. In the Primal Chaos Domain, he was known as the Five Poison Devil. Even a regular grandmaster-level Martial Sage would not be willing to offend him.
When the other invited cultivators saw this person, they showed fear in their eyes, not daring to underestimate him.
"Senior Five Poison, I heard that girl's tone is very unyielding. Those who are not invited are not allowed to enter the Palace of Neptune."
While it was still early, someone among the group of old monsters informed the Five Poison Devil.
The Five Poison Devil sat on a stone stool and smiled coldly. "Can she do as she pleases? Right now, the Merfolk Race only has two Blue Robed Emperors left. They are barely maintaining the seal around the Palace of Neptune. Even grandmaster-level Martial Sages cannot leave. How dare she say no? "
"However, I heard that the evil Demon clones in there are very horrifying. We do not have lightning-attributed flames. If we enter, we will probably run into danger. However, even Emperor Wu died in there."
The Five Poison Devil's expression did not change. He said indifferently, "Didn't you see that so many people came this time? All of them have lightning-attributed flames. If we mix in, we can protect ourselves. As long as we are not too greedy and come out after finding a few treasures, we will definitely be fine. "
