Chapter 190: Gathering of Heroes (Part 1) (1/2)
Lu Heng was not aware of Wu Gu's worries.
Now, he was leaving Fanjie Mountain with Xiao Ai, following the Pavilion Master Yu Linglong.
In the south of Fanjie Mountain, there is an entrance to the sea, called [Haimen]. It is an important gateway to the Mermaid Country.
But now it is blocked and outsiders are prohibited from entering.
Yu Linglong took Lu Heng on another road.
Leaving Nuanxiang Pavilion, passing through the city of Fanjie Mountain, in a remote corner, there is a quiet and elegant courtyard.
Pushing open the courtyard door, you can see a courtyard with an elegant layout. Pavilions, towers, rockery, flowers and trees are well-organized, beautiful but not messy, and you can tell at a glance that they are from the hands of masters.
But Lu Heng and his friends are not here to visit the courtyard now.
Following Yu Linglong, Lu Heng and Xiao Ai passed through the courtyard and one door after another, and finally came to a pool hidden between the rocks.
The pool was several meters square, not very big, and looked more like a private swimming pool, but it was bottomless. Yu Linglong walked to the pool and gently shook a bronze bell.
The crisp sound of the bell echoed between the rocks. Soon, there was a reaction in the pool.
Faintly, there was a huge black shadow swimming underwater.
Yu Linglong looked at the white wolf and Xiao Ai behind her and explained, "There is a strange beast under the water, named [Speed Chi], which is a huge fish. The mermaid country raises it as an underwater riding beast, which can carry us to the mermaid country capital quickly."
After that, Yu Linglong jumped directly into the pool and disappeared from Lu Heng's sight.
Xiao Ai glanced at Lu Heng, and when he saw the wolf god nodded, he also jumped and jumped into the pool.
The next person who jumped into the pool was Lu Heng.
The moment the huge white wolf jumped into the water, a huge bloody mouth appeared in his sight.
But Lu Heng did not panic, but let the beast swallow him. In the surging water, he passed through the beast's esophagus and followed the water to a small isolated island.
On the shore, the owner of Yulinglong Pavilion was waiting for Lu Heng with a smile. Behind her, there was a small bamboo garden with houses in the garden, as if she had returned to Nuanxiang Pavilion.
Looking around, what he saw was not the blood-red flesh wall inside the beast, but the surging sea water.
There were actually fish swimming in the surging sea water.
This strange scene surprised Lu Heng.
Yu Linglong smiled and said, "This strange beast Speed has a characteristic, that is, after entering its body, you can directly see the outside scene. But people outside see a big fish, and cannot see the person in the fish's belly."
"So some princes and nobles of the Mermaid Kingdom will raise a Speed Fish as a travel beast. We are in the belly of the fish, traveling south. Even if we run into the Mermaid Kingdom's sea patrol team, we don't have to worry about being discovered."
As she said, Yu Linglong gently shook the bell in her hand.
In the crisp bell sound, Lu Heng saw the fish around him quickly retreating behind him. The mouth of the pool above his head disappeared from his sight.
This huge strange beast Speed has actually started to swim.
But the speed is so fast that Lu Heng and others in the fish's belly can't feel the slightest bump.
Yu Linglong said, "Wolf God, you can take a rest for a while. It will take a day and a night for even a fast-running fish to reach the capital of the mermaid kingdom. You can rest first. I will call you when we get there."
Lu Heng nodded and said, "In that case, I will trouble you, Pavilion Master."
After that, Lu Heng did not go into the house, but sat down directly in the courtyard, closed his eyes and practiced in meditation.
Although the body of the fast-running fish could not feel the shaking, it swam very fast. Those reef islands that were occasionally seen were all forgotten in an instant.
Such a fast speed, even the airplanes in the previous life could not match it.
But such a fast fish actually had to swim for a day and a night to reach the capital of the mermaid kingdom...The border of the mermaid kingdom is indeed as vast as the rumors say.
In the belly of the fish, Lu Heng closed his eyes and practiced in meditation, waiting to arrive at the capital of the mermaid kingdom.
In front of this speeding fish, in the huge underwater city near the South China Sea Abyss, the leader of the Mermaid Kingdom, Yu Hailing, had just heard the report from the sea patrol.
The South China Sea Abyss, which has always been peaceful, has had strange movements in recent days.
The black water of the Abyss, which is clearly separated from the waters of the South China Sea, occasionally rushes back and flows into the South China Sea in recent days. Wherever the strange black water goes, life is extinguished and everything withers.
Even if the black water will soon fade away, the sudden change in the South China Sea Abyss, which has always been peaceful, has still made the entire Mermaid Kingdom pay attention to it quickly.
The sea patrol forces, which are more than ten times more than usual, patrol around the Abyss day and night to monitor any possible changes.
Even the Abyss Cliff, where no one is allowed to enter, the Mermaid Kingdom has sent several people to dive and climb down along the cliff to check the situation in the Abyss.
And now what Yu Hailing heard is the exploration report from under the Abyss Cliff.
According to the investigation of the patrol team, there are no recorded evil creatures in the black water of the extreme abyss. The waters under the cliffs of the extreme abyss have always maintained a normal state, and there is no phenomenon of evil spirit reversal.
The changes in the black water in the past few days may be induced by the evil spirit of the evil sword of the demon Luo, which has caused some strangeness.
But even so, Yu Hailing did not dare to take it lightly.
She frowned and ordered, "Continue to patrol, don't take it lightly. If the situation changes, report it in time, and it must not affect the execution of the demon Luo sword spirit."
The Sharman Kingdom has been guarding the South China Sea for generations, preventing things from coming out of the abyss of the South China Sea.
But those strange and evil creatures in the ancestors' records have never appeared. So much so that the sharks have forgotten what kind of monster the so-called alien evil is.
But even so, no one dared to underestimate Blackwater's changes.
The warning message passed down by the ancestors is something that every shark should keep in mind and dare not forget.
All factors that may cause the black water to mutate must be completely eliminated.
For example...the Demon Sword Spirit in front of me.
After dismissing his subordinates, Yu Hailing headed towards the ancestral temple.
But before she went far, she saw Zhong Shuling coming in a hurry, so she stopped and waited for his arrival.
"Master!" Zhongshu Ling, who looked anxious, brought bad news, "There is news from Fanjie City that the wolf god is no longer in Nuanxiang Pavilion. It seems that he has crossed the sea gate and entered our country's waters directly."
The news about Zhongshu Ling made Yu Hailing look slightly solemn.
"As expected," Yu Hailing said with a calm face, "The wolf god searched the South China Sea for his friends before and even killed the Erba gods. Now that something happens to his friend, he will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it."
"It's just that he left so suddenly, even the people who crossed the boundary mountain didn't notice his departure... Was Yu Linglong helping him?"
Yu Hailing's inquiry made Zhongshu Ling look slightly embarrassed, and he could only say, "Returning to the country, Master, I am not sure whether the Jade Pavilion Master is helping. But there is indeed no trace of the Jade Pavilion Master in the Nuanxiang Pavilion... "
Zhongshu Ling's euphemistic answer made Yu Hailing sneer.
"As expected... Even the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain dares to lure people into the country. This woman seems to really have no idea of her priorities."
Facing the sneers and sarcasm of the king, Zhongshu Ling looked embarrassed, but he did not dare to answer the question, but helped to explain.
"Perhaps there is another reason for this matter," Zhong Shuling whispered. "Although the Master of the Jade Pavilion has always been fooling around, he also knows the right and wrong, and his heart must be towards our country of sharks. Maybe it was the wolf god who coerced her. …”
Zhongshu Ling's whisper made Yu Hailing shake his head.
"Coercion? Hmph! If it's really coercion, that's fine. This woman is definitely smart, thinking that with the temperament of the wolf god, she won't conflict with the Sharman Kingdom, so she volunteered to lead the way... ha..."
Yu Hailing said scornfully, "I have already declared to the outside world that no matter what, this Demon Sword Master will die. This is to warn her not to lead the wolf into the house, otherwise there will be a conflict between the Merman Kingdom and the Wolf God."
"But I didn't expect this woman to be so stupid and insist on bringing the wolf god into the country."
Yu Hailing looked towards the north, and seemed to have seen a speeding fish hidden in the sea water carrying a white wolf swimming towards here rapidly.
After a few breaths of silence, Yu Hailing calmed down the sarcasm and anger on his face, and restored his former solemnity and majesty.
She ordered Zhongshu, "Now that the wolf god has entered the sea, let's be ready to fight. The wolf god is very powerful, but we, the Merman Kingdom, are not easy to bully."
"The Demonic Sword is of great importance and must not be let go. The master of the Demonic Sword must die this time!"
"If the Wolf God is willing to stop fighting, then let's show respect to each other. If he is not respectable, then let's give him dignity!"
Speaking of this, Yu Hailing's face turned cold.
"Thirty thousand years ago, we already destroyed an ancient divine beast. The worst we can do is destroy another one now."
"Just prepare everything as planned...I'm going to the Ancestor Temple."
Saying that, Yu Hailing waved her sleeves and went directly to the direction of the ancestors' temple.
Zhongshu Ling stood there, watching the retreating figure of the king, and couldn't help but sigh, feeling helpless.
The Demon Sword is an evil thing that must be destroyed for the Sharman Kingdom. Because this sword is said to be related to the South China Sea's Abyss, the mere surging of evil spirits in the country has already caused the black water to mutate.
If the Demonic Sword completely releases the demonic power, no one knows what will happen under the abyss of the South China Sea.
Therefore, all possibilities that may lead to the rebirth of the Demonic Sword must be nipped in the cradle. Although the Demon Sword Master has not been completely controlled, he is bound to die.
However, outsiders may not be able to accept the Sharman Kingdom's decisive actions.
Especially the relatives and friends of the Demon Sword Master...
Hey... Ninth Highness, Ninth Highness... Why are you so confused?
Feeling the anger of the king, Zhong Shuling had no choice but to sigh in his heart.
After this incident, the leader of Nuanxiang Pavilion who wandered leisurely in Fanjie City would probably have a very hard time.
But even though he had so many emotions in his heart, Zhongshu Ling did not dare to delay. Instead, he quickly left the palace and followed the original plan.
Now that the wolf god has entered the sea, what the Sharman Kingdom will face next is probably a great god from ancient times.
He is also a mysterious god who practices heavenly thunder and is not recorded in the records of his ancestors...
Faced with such an existence, no one dares to take it lightly.
Due to a series of orders, the capital of the Mermaid Kingdom rapidly underwent various changes.
Many citizens with low cultivation levels were urgently relocated and entered a safe area to wait for the situation to end. Many businesses in the capital have also closed their stores and are no longer open for business.
As a result, the capital of the Merman Kingdom, which had become lively and prosperous due to the Fair of Treasures, has now returned to its former deserted state.
The guests who were staying in the inn and waiting to attend the Fair of Treasures were now very curious and began to inquire about the cause of the strange changes in the city.
But most people don't know what happened.
The only thing people can be sure of is that the unusual movements of the mermaids must be related to the murder that happened not long ago.
A few days ago, the madman Mu Yepeng, who died tragically in the capital of the mermaid country, and his companions, a total of seven people, and an old general of the mermaid country... The death of these eight people can be called a big deal.
Especially the six people who traveled with Mu Yepeng, each of them was a monk of noble status and high cultivation, and their ancestors were almost all well-known.
It is rumored that one of them was even a nobleman of the Youxiong country in the north...
Now that everyone is dead, after the news of their death was passed back, the relatives of the deceased have already rushed to the South China Sea.
The Qizhen Conference in five days will also be the day to execute the murderer. It will definitely be a grand gathering at that time.
The mermaid country really opened the legendary Jiyuan Island, and wanted to execute the demon on the only small island on the Jiyuan in the South China Sea.
At that time, the Qizhen Conference will also be held on Jiyuan Island.
This mysterious island that only exists in legends will now be unveiled in front of everyone.
Therefore, most people in the city are looking forward to the convening of the Rare Treasures Conference.
Even the strange changes of the mermaids did not reduce people's expectations.
And in such a warm atmosphere, the gate of the mermaid capital was opened, and a group of special guests came.
Under the sea where fish were surging, this group of foreigners were all wearing furs, and both men and women were dressed coolly, and they could even be called savages.
The burly man in the lead was strong and mighty, but his face was vicissitudes, and his eyebrows were full of sorrow. The naked upper body was engraved with black mysterious lines, which made people dare not even look at it.
Compared with the noble guests in the mermaid country, this group of people looked so shabby. However, the monks who saw this group of people did not dare to despise them, and they all showed solemn expressions.
"The Hanhai Tribe of the Li people? Why are they here?"
The monks in the capital all recognized the identities of this group of "savages", and some even recognized the identity of the man in the lead.
"Li Po priest? He is the leader? Doesn't the Li people never participate in the Rare Treasures Conference..."
"Yes! Why are they here this time?"
"And the priest is here in person... What a grand ceremony! Could it be that there is some secret treasure in this Rare Treasures Conference that attracted these arrogant Li people?"
"Tsk tsk tsk... The Li people are here, this Rare Treasures Conference is really lively!"
