Recently, as the Beiqi players gained more and more advantages against the Nine Yao Army, His Excellency Xing Yao finally couldn't sit still anymore. He began to personally search for the players in the two big regions and wipe them out.
Although the players had the ability to resurrect, their lives were still tough. They had to hide every day and could only wait for Xing Yao to calm down before going out to kill a few soldiers of the Nine Yao Army to vent their anger. Life was tough but stable. Conquering the two big regions was just around the corner, so the Beiqi players were very happy.
Not only did the players realize this, but His Excellency Xing Yao also realized it.
Subsequently, the purge became more thorough. The remaining Nine Yao Brothers personally took action and began a twenty-four-hour non-stop purge.
This was undoubtedly too much for the players to bear.
Many players were killed the moment they came online. Although they could resurrect, the three-hour wait was extremely long. Moreover, even if the resurrection cooldown was over, it was still unknown if it was safe to come online again.
Under such circumstances, the players decided to make a strategic retreat.
The best place to guarantee their safety now was the Underworld Sea.
Therefore, a large group of players began to head toward the Liuli Coast. They planned to make a selective retreat first and come back again when the Nine Yao Brothers had enough of their madness.
At the same time, the Underworld Sea was also a very suitable area for the players to develop.
Many players missed the Sea King after not going out to sea for a long time.
We don't even know if he misses us!
Of course, regardless of whether the Sea King missed them or not, the players just wanted to see him now. They wanted to know how he was doing recently, whether his appetite was good, and whether he had beaten the sh * t out of Langya Island …
Hence, waves after waves of players fled to the Liuli Coast. They set sail and headed towards the Sea King.
…
Kuilong Sea.
The situation in the Kuilong Sea had become more and more complicated recently. A new force was rising rapidly, forming a third force that was equal to the New Mu Te Sea Nation (Sea King) and Langya Island.
However, the New Mu Te Sea Nation, which was originally in a weak position, was able to take a breather in this situation. The Sea King had also hastened the pace of gathering the Undead Army, preparing for war at any time.
However, the emergence of this third force was unexpected by the Sea King and Lang Ya.
Moreover, the Sea King and Lang Ya were not familiar with the owner of this third force, but the Sea King's subordinates were very familiar with her. It was Tian Lan, the daughter of one of the seven kings, Tian Kun, who was saved by Wang Damang.
The way she rose was out of everyone's expectation in the Kuilong Ocean.
This was because she had actually opened the Nether Sea Kingdom ruins and obtained the treasures within, as well as an incomparably large stone statue army.
As the predecessor of the Eight Sea Kingdoms, the Nether Sea Kingdom once had the power to control the three seas. Even though it had fallen, the value of its inheritance was still incomparably huge.
Moreover, there was an army of 100,000 stone statues in the Nether Sea Kingdom's ruins. Even the Sea King and Lang Ya did not dare to underestimate this force.
The workmanship of these stone statues was the same as the guardian statues of the eight sea nations. In addition to the huge number of statues, Tian Lan instantly rose to become the empress of the Kuilong Ocean. Her position as the third overlord was unshakable.
The Sea King was extremely vexed when he found out the reason for Tian Lan's rise.
Because this power should have belonged to him.
This Nether Sea Kingdom ruin was the Kankun Island that he risked his life to go to. Back then, he was betrayed by his subordinate, Tian Kun, and was ambushed there. In the end, he had to rely on the players to escape.
He did not know how Tian Lan managed to open the ruins with only the power of a Ghost Commander. However, now that the ruins had been opened, there was no turning back. He could not seize the stone statue army in Tian Lan's hands.
Moreover, although her existence was a big problem for the Sea King and Lang Ya, no one dared to make the first move.
Therefore, the Kuilong Ocean had become a three-way stalemate.
However, there was one thing that made the Sea King very nervous. He had just received news that Tian Kun had been sent by Lang Ya to Kankun Island to ask for Tian Lan's surrender.
How could the Sea King not be angry at this traitor who almost put him to death? However, Tian Kun had already surrendered to Langya Island. It was extremely difficult for him to capture this traitor, so he could only give up for now.
However, what made the Sea King uneasy was that Langya Island had sent Tian Kun to ask for Tian Lan's surrender. This was very bad news for the Sea King. They were father and daughter. If the recruitment was successful, the Mu Te Sea King could basically prepare a backup plan.
They were already at a disadvantage in the fight against the Langya Island's alliance. Moreover, Tian Lan had the stone statue army, so they had no chance of winning.
The Sea King could not stay calm when he received the news. He even planned to stop Tian Lan himself.
However, Hei Sui and his subordinates tried their best to stop him. They were afraid that this was another ambush. In the end, the Sea King could only give up. He could only hope that Tian Lan had his own ambitions and would not agree to Tian Kun's request.
However, the development of the situation was obviously beyond the Sea King's imagination.
…
At this moment, outside Kankun Island.
A giant octopus emerged from the bottom of the water and slowly climbed ashore. Tian Kun, who had received the order, jumped off his mount and walked toward the island.
At this moment, the ground trembled. Countless giant stone statues broke out of the ground and surrounded Tian Kun.
Tian Kun's heart tightened when he saw this scene. He quickly said,
"Tian Lan, I'm your father. I'm Tian Kun!"
However, no one paid attention to Tian Kun. The guardian statues started to attack Tian Kun.
Each of these stone statues had the strength of a Ghost Commander or above. The tallest one even had the strength of a Ghost King. This made Tian Kun anxious. He could not help but call out Tian Lan's name again.
However, there was still no response.
Tian Kun retreated step by step in the face of the stone statues' attacks. Just as he was about to retreat into the sea, all the stone statues suddenly stopped their attacks.
Tian Kun looked on in astonishment as a woman holding a golden scepter floated out of the island.
She had long black hair and an elegant silver hairpin. There was not a trace of rouge on her face. This was a familiar face to Tian Kun. However, there was only indifference in her eyes. The respect she had shown him when they first met was gone.
"Why are you looking for me?" Tian Lan asked Tian Kun coldly as he floated in the air.
"Lan 'er, long time no see. Aren't you going to invite me in?" Tian Kun immediately smiled and tried to curry favor with her.
However, his eyes would occasionally glance at the golden scepter in Tian Lan's hand.
He had heard from the old shaman that this scepter was one of the symbols of the highest authority in the Netherworld Sea Kingdom, the "Dark Sea King Scepter". Not only did it have many mysterious abilities, but the person who held it could also control all the guardian stone statues. This naturally included the eight giant stone statues that guarded their eight sea kingdoms.
However, he had always thought that this scepter had been destroyed along with the Netherworld Sea Kingdom. He did not expect it to be hidden in the ruins of the Netherworld Sea Kingdom all this time.
"What's the matter? Just say it!" Tian Lan's expression did not change as he continued to ask.
This made Tian Kun a little embarrassed. He could not help but ask again,
"Lan 'er, don't you need to have the strength of a Ghost Emperor to open these ruins? Although you have the bloodline of a descendant of the Netherworld Sea Kingdom, your strength is only at the level of a Ghost Commander. How did you do it?"
"What's the matter? If there's nothing else, you can leave now!" Tian Lan did not give Tian Kun any face at all.
Although Tian Kun was her biological father, Tian Lan could not be clearer about his character. For the sake of inheritance, he had incessantly caused the siblings to kill each other. In the end, he had even sent her away to be a concubine. Tian Lan had long been thoroughly disappointed by his actions. She had no feelings for such a father.
Therefore, there was only disgust in her heart when she faced Tian Kun.
"Lan 'er, to tell you the truth, I'm actually here to ask for your surrender. Although you have now obtained the stone statue legion of the Netherworld Sea Kingdom, you must know that your faction is still the weakest among the three factions. However, if you join the alliance of Langya Island …"
However, Tian Lan interrupted Tian Kun before he could finish his sentence.
"This is indeed you. When you surrendered to the Ocean King, I already felt that this was not your style. I didn't expect you to betray him so quickly. This is the real you!" A golden light flashed in Tian Lan's beautiful eyes as she looked at Tian Kun and said coldly.
"Lan 'er, is this how you speak to your father?" Tian Kun's expression turned serious when he heard this.
"Father? Do you have any sense of responsibility as a father? If I hadn't obtained the stone statue legion of the Netherworld Sea Kingdom, you might not even care where I am or whether I'm dead! "Tian Lan could not help but sneer.
Tian Kun's expression turned extremely ugly when he heard this. He took another look at the Netherworld Sea King Scepter in Tian Lan's hand. A trace of greed flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
He then said, "Lan 'er, I was wrong back then. However, now that I've lowered my pride and come to persuade you to surrender, aren't you going to give me some face?"
"I'm no longer the little girl who revered you back then, Tian Kun!" This time, Tian Lan called his name directly.
"Lan 'er, listen to me. This time, I'm not just trying to persuade you to surrender to the alliance of Langya Island. In fact, I have something more important to discuss with you!" Tian Kun's tone became warm again when he realized that Tian Lan could not be persuaded at all.
Tian Lan did not reply this time. She just stared coldly at Tian Kun.
"Think about it. Although you're currently the third force in the Kuilong Ocean, you're still the weakest force. It's very unlikely that you'll be the final winner in the battle for sea power. However, if you join the alliance of Langya Island, the Mu Te Sea Nation of the Sea King will definitely suffer a crushing defeat. By then, the Sea King will have no other choice but to destroy the nation or retreat from the Kuilong Ocean. However, following the destruction of the Mu Te Empire, the alliance of Langya Island will definitely disband. By then, you'll become the largest force in the Kuilong Ocean, far surpassing Langya Island. "
"What do you mean?"
"Langya Island is only the leader of the alliance. Without the alliance, how can he compete with you? As long as you quickly take over Langya Island after the Sea King is destroyed and the alliance disbands, the entire Kuilong Ocean will become your territory. You'll also become the real Empress of Kuilong!"
Tian Lan suddenly laughed after hearing this.
"It's really you. You've always planned your next step and always look at benefits. You've just betrayed the Sea King, and now you're already planning to betray Langya Island. Langya Island asked you to come and persuade him to surrender, but you want to kill him. You're indeed inhumane. "
Tian Kun felt awkward after hearing Tian Lan's disrespectful words, but he still said,
"Since you've already taken control of the stone statue army, don't you have any ideas?"
"What about you? What's your goal? Or should I say, what benefits do you get if I obtain the Kuilong Ocean's power? "
"You're my daughter. It's my Tianyu Nation's supreme glory that you can become the overlord of the Kuilong Ocean …"
As Tian Kun spoke, the golden scepter in Tian Lan's hand began to shine with a golden light. Her eyes were even covered by a layer of golden mist.
"So you're planning to take the Netherworld Sea King Scepter from me. What a pity. You didn't expect that I, who has the scepter, can see through all your thoughts."
"What?" Tian Kun, who was still talking about the beautiful future, suddenly looked shocked.
Then, he saw a huge golden arm rising from the island and slapping at him fiercely.
