When he looked at Ye Zichen, his eyes flashed with undisguisable light.
If he'd only recently been imprisoned, given his status in the jianghu, there was no way he wouldn't know who Ye Zichen was.
However, he'd been locked up in the Xue Family's dungeons this entire time. It'd been ten thousand years since he'd seen the outside world, so he naturally had no idea what was going on outside.
Perhaps he would be able to find out more about the situation outside.
However, outsiders weren't familiar with him, so there was no way they'd tell him everything. It could be said that his knowledge of the outside world was like a blank sheet of paper.
From the moment he laid eyes on Ye Zichen, he knew he was no ordinary person.
Everyone in the Xue Family's dungeons were important figures. Regardless of whether they were on the first or second floor, only members of the Xue Family, or even direct descendants, could enter.
Ye Zichen didn't have the Xue Family's bloodline, yet he'd entered the Xue Family's dungeons.
This time, it was even more shocking than before: Xue Yang, the Sea Emperor, had given him the dungeon's identity medallion. Furthermore, from what he'd said, he had a close relationship with several great emperors. He was a diviner, yet he had the soul power of a ruler, and he had two Emperor-level experts by his side.
A disciple of the Sacred Beast Race?
That was impossible. Never mind the fact that a disciple of the Sacred Beast Race couldn't interact with so many great emperors and gain their trust. Even the Sacred Tribe Patriarch couldn't have such experts around him, not to mention the two Emperor Level experts around him and the Great Sage who had appeared before.
Ye Zichen didn't answer the blue-robed expert's question.
"Are you a shaman?" The expert narrowed his eyes. "Are you a descendant of the Twelve Shaman Ancestors? Or perhaps you're one of them?"
Ye Zichen remained silent. The blue-robed expert guessed once more.
"Are you from the Outside?
"Senior, please stop guessing," said Ye Zichen. "My identity isn't important at all. Besides, even if you have your secrets you can't tell me, I have mine too."
Little did he know, the blue-robed expert narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"I understand."
No one knew what he understood, or whether he really understood or just faked it. In any case, the light in his eyes never faded. In fact, it only grew more and more playful.
Ye Zichen felt somewhat uncomfortable under his gaze. Suddenly, he realized he'd made the wrong decision.
"Senior has been spying on this junior's privacy. It seems that this junior has been reckless. I shouldn't have troubled senior to cooperate with this junior. Since that's the case, I won't disturb you any longer. Farewell! "
With that, Ye Zichen and co. prepared to leave. The azure-robed expert was a bit anxious.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop!"
His words didn't stop Ye Zichen and the others. Suddenly, a pressure no weaker than the old Demon Emperor's instantly bore down on them.
"I told you to stop right there!"
Crack.
The Sea Emperor's clone, who was sitting in the front hall and discussing the internal conflict with the clan elders, frowned. The expressions of the other elders in the front hall darkened as well.
Just now, they all felt a ferocious aura pressing down on them.
Although this aura only appeared for a short time, it was enough to attract everyone's attention.
"How could it be him?"
The clone of the Ocean Emperor frowned at the dungeon and put the jade chip on the table.
"Third Elder, continue discussing the follow-up matters with the other elders. This emperor will be leaving for a while."
After saying that, before the other elders could react, the Ocean Sovereign had already turned into a stream of water and disappeared from the front hall.
Within the dungeon.
The surging pressure was like the claws of a primordial beast. Yang Jian and Pu Jingwan struggled to hold on. Although Ye Zichen was the one being protected, he could still sense the ferocity of the aura.
"Senior!"
Ye Zichen turned and cupped his hands. By now, the azure-robed expert had dispersed his pressure and was all smiles.
"Don't mind me. I just want to keep you here. I don't want to do anything to you."
At that moment ….
The azure-robed expert knit his brows, then muttered something to himself. He waved his hand, then smiled again.
"Kid, just who are you? I won't ask. Why do you have to leave? Who cares about your relationship with the Five Elements Great Emperor? He's already dead. As for why you're on such good terms with the other great emperors, I'm just curious. I don't really want to know. "
"Senior, what do you want?" asked Ye Zichen.
"I just took a fancy to one of your possessions. We're working together, so we should at least have a proper discussion, don't you think?" laughed the azure-robed expert.
Ye Zichen couldn't help but feel his heart tremble.
Based on the aura he'd just released, it was likely that the three emperors were on the same level.
For an expert like him to care so much about a supreme treasure ….
Of course, Ye Zichen had one more question.
"Senior, you're so powerful. I don't know why you were imprisoned here. Although the Ocean Emperor is a senior I respect, I still have to say that given his cultivation, it would be difficult for him to subdue you. "
"Heh, kid, I'm willing to listen to you," laughed the azure-robed expert. "If we were on land, he naturally wouldn't be able to beat me. But this is the Sea of Innocence. Don't you know that Xue Yang is invincible wherever there's water? Besides, I'm more than happy to let him capture me. It'll save me from disaster. "
It seemed this yao expert had offended quite a few people before he'd been imprisoned!
Ye Zichen thought back to his divine artifacts. For ordinary people, obtaining them was harder than scaling the heavens. Even great emperors only had a few, but he had so many.
Could it be ….
He'd stolen all those divine artifacts?
"Senior …."
"Don't call me senior. Let's talk about our partnership. I naturally don't want the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. I know it's important to a kid like you. What I want is …. Let me give you a hint. I want the treasure on your arm. "
The treasure on his arm!
The Xuan-Yuan Sword!
Ye Zichen instantly realized what this yao expert wanted.
He had a divine artifact on his arm: the Xuan-Yuan Sword. He'd never thought of it before because he'd never considered it a bargaining chip.
"You've thought of it, haven't you? Just give it to me! Don't call me senior; you can even be my senior! Also, don't even ask me to help you keep an eye on that old bastard down there. So long as you can convince Xue Yang, I'll take you down with me. If he can hurt you, I'll cut my head off and let you play with it! "
"What do you think?"
Asked the azure-robed expert urgently. Ye Zichen knit his brows, but he didn't respond.
Whoosh.
At that moment, they heard the sound of flowing water. Then, they saw a man in ocean-colored robes appear on the second floor of the dungeon.
