Chapter 609 (1/2)

The wasteland located northwest of Sea Emperor City was the only place in Undersea city without throngs of people. There were crumbling piles of rocks, and gra.s.ses grew everywhere; it was quiet without sound. This place was the private land of the Miluo Clan. In the past, it had once been a mine. Although it had been discarded after all the ores had been mined, this land still belonged to the Miluo Clan.

A black shadow suddenly appeared in the distance, and in the next second, that black shadow materialized in the sky above this place. The afterimage in the distance had yet to dissipate, giving any who witnessed the scene strong visual intimidation.

The shadow slowly descended from the sky and then stowed away the sea cloak he wore, revealing his figure. A white silk gown draped his form, and he looked handsome; he was none other than Long Yi.

Long Yi went straight toward a pile of rocks covered with long weeds and stopped. Karl lay there in the midst of a thick clump of gra.s.s like a corpse. This Karl, who had not fallen apart even when Frank had died before his eyes, appeared as if he had now lost his soul. His eyes were blank, and he didn't even blink. His milky-white eyelid layer had become light red, looking very scary.

Long Yi sat on a rock and gazed at the azure seawater on the other side of the barrier like those various kinds of sea creatures swimming above were very interesting.

Even after a long time, Karl didn't move. Long Yi also sat as still as a statue.

”Why are you not speaking?” Karl blinked, and a hint of focus appeared in his empty eyes, but, his voice was very hoa.r.s.e.

”Eh, you are still alive! I thought you were dead,” Long Yi pretended to look surprised and joked.

Karl sat up on the gra.s.s. His heart was still in pain, but compared to his feelings a moment ago, he felt a lot better. As a matter of fact, Long Yi hadn't done anything to contribute to this. He had simply used a bit of his spirit power to shake Karl back into reality, forcing Karl to notice his existence, before intentionally ignoring the Miluo Prince for a long time.

Karl had thought that Long Yi had come over to comfort him, but Long Yi had just sat still at one side like he had forgotten of his existence. This had also pulled his attention out of that despairing mood, and now that he had opened his mouth, much of his dark emotions dissipated.

”Long Yi, do you think I am a joke? The woman I dearly loved was only fooling me. Everything was just a scheme concocted by her and Great Elder. If it were not for her stealing the Miluo Divine Arrows, making my Miluo Divine Bow lose a lot of power… if it were not for Great Elder sparing no efforts to instigate this matter, would Frank have died? Would Miluo Adventure Group have been wiped out?” Karl's dark green face trembled as he spoke his words of resentment.

”Since you know there was a scheme, what are you doing here, full of remorse? It is very likely that the Great Elder of your clan is planning something big. Aren't you afraid that your family members are in danger?” Long Yi faintly asked.

Karl was startled. He had drowned in sadness and despair, but he had never thought of this. If he continued to wallow here, there might be unforeseen events in his clan.

”Thank you, Long Yi,” Karl thanked Long Yi gratefully then flew toward Sea Emperor City.

Long Yi looked at the back view of Karl and smiled. As the patriarch of Miluo Clan, how could Karl's father be an ordinary person? Before he had come out to look for Karl, Long Yi had met with Miluo Patriarch and chatted for a while. In a few words, Long Yi had discerned that Miluo Patriarch was very clear about the current situation of Sea Race; moreover, he was not ignorant of the small movements Great Elder had been making in secret. In the beginning, Long Yi had found it somewhat strange. Why had the patriarch of Miluo Clan told him, a human who he had seen for the first time, all these secrets? Later on in their conversation, Long Yi had vaguely guessed something by carefully examining the Patriarch's expression.

At this moment, the Sea Emperor City seethed with excitement. The Treasure Seizing Conference, the main event of the Sea Race Convention that was paid close attention to by all the forces of the Sea Race, was about to begin. Everyone coveted the treasures inside the Undersea Smelting Death Cave. However, while they were the treasures left behind from the War of G.o.ds and Demons 100,000 years ago, they were accompanied by extraordinary danger at the same time; otherwise, it wouldn't have been called the Smelting Death Cave.

According to Sea Emperor, Smelting Death Cave was a s.p.a.ce that existed independently at the bottom of the sea. Inside, the environment was very harsh. In addition, not only were there resentment specters and zombies formed from the corpses of G.o.ds and Demons, but there were also all kinds of variant magical beasts. All of them were variants left behind from the cross-breeding of G.o.d beasts and magical beasts that had survived the great War of G.o.ds and Demons 100,000 years ago. Moreover, they had evolved in such a harsh environment for 100,000 years; thus, they might even be many times stronger than their ancestors.

Therefore, this Treasure Seizing Conference was very dangerous. It was very likely that all the partic.i.p.ating people might never return, but if one was able to bring out a treasure, that person and his entire clan would be greatly honored, and their reputations would flourish. Moreover, all the treasures inside were extraordinary. With such a treasure in hand, no matter their hard or soft power, both would reach another level. As a result, although this Treasure Seizing Conference was very dangerous, even the clans who had significant power within the Sea Race would risk their young experts by partic.i.p.ating.

In the s.p.a.cious square of the imperial palace, Sea Emperor solemnly gave a brief explanation about the Treasure Seizing Conference, elaborating the dangers of this event and finally sung his own praises to ill.u.s.trate that there was no coward in the Sea Race under the leaders.h.i.+p of the wise Sea Emperor.

After Sea Emperor, as the three major powers nominally beneath Sea Emperor, the patriarchs of the Shark Clan, Whale Clan and s.h.i.+hun Clan each delivered a speech one after another. Finally, the etiquette officer of the imperial palace announced the list of people and their a.s.sociated clan who were partic.i.p.ating in this Treasure Seizing Conference.
