Chapter 691: Chapter 49 You’ve Come! [Seeking Monthly Votes!] _1

In the depths of the remote Ruins, there was another vortex connected to the ocean.

The Merfolk Queen came to this vortex, plunged directly into it, and arrived in a pitch-dark sea. Her half-bodied scales emitted golden glow, dispersing some of the darkness and continued forward.

Finally, she arrived at the center of this pitch-black sea, where there was an extremely large coral mountain, emitting delicate light that illuminated the surroundings. Upon closer look, it resembled a palace.

"Lord Wu Chao, I seek your assistance."

The highly respected Merfolk Queen among the sea demon races stood outside this coral palace, behaving like a reverent junior.

Humm-

The gigantic coral mountain began to shake, and after a while, an opening was formed. From within the gap, a long grey object emerged, like a tentacle, but was covered with dark scales.

The tentacle stretched out in front of the Merfolk Queen, burbled and started to grow, suddenly growing to the half-body shape of an elder. He seemed to have sparse hair, white beard, very old, even his eyes were a bit cloudy.

"You are..." He recalled, "The current Merfolk Queen? The descendant of the God Mother, what can I do for you?"

"Lord Navy of Ruins Shenxu wants to revive God Mother. He did many things behind my back and wants to use my daughter as a vessel." The Merfolk Queen stated, "I am unsure what to do, so I come to ask for your opinion, Lord Wu Chao."

"If you support him, I am willing to offer my body as the vessel for the God Mother; if you disagree, you are the only one who can stop him in the Southern Sea!"

"Reviving the God Mother?" The elder called Wu Chao’s pupils shrank, speechless for a while, then said after a long time, "This is the path to self-destruction..."

"Lord Wu Chao, you are... disagreeing?" The Merfolk Queen’s gaze rose.

"If we could bring the God Mother back, wouldn’t the countless sea demons over tens of thousands of years try?" Lord Wu Chao solemnly stated, "I was born during the reign of the Dragon God, witnessed the splendor of the Dragon Race... So I know what happened to the real dragons who tried to recall the Dragon God..."

"This can’t be touched..."

"Then please stop him quickly, Lord Wu Chao. If it’s too late, he will sacrifice the lives of countless Sea Demon Clan descendants!" The Merfolk Queen hurriedly said.

"Alright..." Lord Wu Chao nodded, gently called out: "Navy-"

With his call, the dark sea water vibrated into ripples, spreading across the boundless sea, and quickly reaching the pavilion.

"Hmm?"

In the pavilion, the angry Navy heard the call and his face turned even darker.

"What does this old...old squid want me for?" he pondered, saying, "I need to go there."

"Squid?" Huo Tianya, who was in front of him, asked, "Could it be that the one who suppressed countless time, unmatched..."

"Exactly him." Navy nodded, "He was once the most powerful among sea demons and also one of the founders of Ruins Shenxu. Nowadays he rarely leaves his dirty sea, I wonder what he wants from me."

"Then, I’ll handle the matters here." Huo Tianya stated, "The one who kidnapped the Shu Mountain disciple, either Immortal Yuan Lu, or Xuan Yinzi, or some outsider. I’ll take a tour around the Western Sea and Shu Mountain, and we’ll naturally know if there’s a problem with them."

"That’s not the point!" Navy stated, "It doesn’t matter if the disciple of Shu Mountain is there or not, the most important thing is Bi Bozhan must not be lost!"

"That Chu Liang is a bit crucial, hehe, don’t worry." Huo Tianya laughed: "Just wait at home patiently, the Demon Race Divine Envoy will bring it to you soon."

Navy and Huo Tianya left the pavilion together, turned around to look at the wall that had been mended but was bitten through. He emitted a ball of black light again, covering the pavilion from above, leaving only a main entrance.

Only then did he feel relieved to leave.

...

"There is another layer of ban outside this pavilion."

Chu Liang looked at the hazy black halo outside the pavilion, frowning.

Now the pavilion only had the main gate that could be exited. Not to mention breaking the golden pool ban set by the Merfolk Queen, Tuntun was already full and asleep. Even if it was woken up, it could only gnaw on tangible things, and there was just no way for this intangible ban.

"This ban is quite strong, it should have been set by that eighth realm giant demon. If I use the Demon-slaying Sword regardless of the consequences, it is possible to break it." Wang Xuanling stated, "But in that case, there would be a huge commotion."

"I should go to the main gate and scout." Chu Liang pulled out the mask of the Demon Race Divine Envoy.

"That’s too dangerous..." Wang Xuanling stated.

"It’s okay." Chu Liang smiled, "I have a way to save my life. Once the eighth realm giant demon takes action, you guys retreat immediately, don’t worry about me."

Wang Xuanling and Xu Ziyang didn’t know where his confidence came from, but when Chu Liang said so, they believed it.

He said he had, then he must have had it.

In this regard, they also had their own confidence as the master and disciples of Jade Sword Peak.

Chu Liang stepped forward, still pondering what kind of reason he could concoct to investigate the situation.

However, before he could knock on the door, it opened itself. The shrimp-headed spirit demon and the crab-clawed spirit demon greeted him with broad smiles, saying loudly, "Lord Divine Envoy, you’re finally here!"

"We’ve been looking forward to your arrival, from dawn until dusk. Finally, you’re here!"

"Uh..." Their enthusiasm made Chu Liang freeze, then he nodded his head. "I’m here."

"Please come in, please come in!" The shrimp soldiers and crab generals invited Chu Liang in without asking a single question, not even checking the South Sea Goddess Statue.

While walking, they were as enthusiastic as if they’d just found their long-lost father.

"We didn’t expect you to return so quickly! Those brethren in the Far West certainly work swiftly!" said the shrimp-headed spirit demon. "Unfortunately, Mister Navy had to leave due to unforeseen circumstances. He instructed us to treat you well if you arrived in his absence."

"Mister Navy left?" Chu Liang’s eyebrows, hidden beneath the mask, rose slightly. His voice carried a hint of displease as he asked, "When will he return?"

"Well, it’s hard to say." The crab-clawed spirit demon lowered his voice, "He was summoned by Lord Wu Chao. That place is quite far... But don’t worry, we will attend to you properly! If you have any requests, just ask us."

"Well..." Chu Liang glanced around before asking, "It was quite lively here earlier. Where did all those people go?"

"They have all left, hehe," said the shrimp head spirit demon, "Those were all allies of our Mister Navy. Once their business was concluded, they took their leave. On an ordinary day, only the two of us are present at this tower."

"Oh..." Chu Liang nodded.

"Do you need anything, Lord Divine Envoy?" the crab-clawed spirit demon inquired after Chu Liang was comfortably seated.

"I’d like something to eat," Chu Liang nodded.

"What would you like?" asked the shrimp-headed spirit demon.

Chu Liang took off his mask, revealing a smiling face: "Seafood."

...

"All done!" Chu Liang opened the door, waving and calling to Wang Xuanling and the others.

Wang Xuanling, Xu Ziyang, and Princess Lian Ge stepped in, looking somewhat incredulous. It was only when they entered the tower that they realized Mister Navy was not home.

They quickly made their way to the third floor and found the room that held the black toad. It was still in its original position.

As soon as she saw the black toad, Princess Lian Ge shivered and muttered, "Golden Frog!"

Was it really that creature?

Although Chu Liang’s guess was correct, he was still puzzled. "Your Golden Frog... is it black?"

"No, it must have been poisoned..." Princess Lian Ge looked sorrowfully at the black Golden Frog. "Damnable Mister Navy! How could he treat the envoy of the God Mother in such a way!"

"Let’s rescue it from the seal first. I might have a way for the detoxication," Chu Liang suggested.

I have a sword that hasn’t been wielded in six years.

Breaking the seal was Wang Xuanling’s job. He wielded his Demon-slaying Sword and with a swish, the Array Rune was severed.

"We’ll take it away first and deal with it outside," Xu Ziyang said, bagging the Golden Frog in a cloth sack and slinging it over his shoulder.

The master and disciple have a mutual understanding to do more when they’re out with Chu Liang.

Just as they were about to leave, they heard a knocking sound from downstairs.

Thud, thud, thud.

There was only one exit – the main gate. If there was an enemy at the door, they would definitely not be able to leave.

"Hmm?" Old Wang became nervous, brandishing his Demon-slaying Sword. "Should we fight our way out?"

"Hold on..." Chu Liang raised his hand. "Who knocks at their own home... it’s probably an outsider."

The group moved to the first floor. After a Divine Sense search, they found two Demonic Clan Divine Envoys who were wearing bronze masks outside.

"No need to panic," Chu Liang said, his mind spinning. He tossed a black robe to Xu Ziyang. "Head Master Uncle and Princess, please hide on the third floor. Xu senior brother... We’re sea demons now."

With that, he put on the hood and opened the door with a hearty laugh, exclaiming, "Welcome, Lord Divine Envoys! You’ve finally arrived!"

"We were expecting you as eagerly as we would wait for the stars and the moon in the sky, and now you’ve finally arrived!"
