Chapter 603: Reasons (2/2)

The complexions of Bifei and Xiaomi turned pale. Like that, wasn’t the arrival of Liuli in Undersea City like a lamb entering the tiger’s den?

“Golden Shark, did you capture Bifei and Xiaomi just for the Purple Gold Soul Stone?” The eyes of Long Yi flashed as he asked.

“Yes, Master,” Golden Shark replied.

Long Yi turned around and looked at Bifei and Xiaomi. Then, they all sighed in relief. It seemed that the Shark Clan was entirely unaware of Bifei and Xiaomi being related to the mermaid imperial family that had been banished five hundred years ago. If not for this, no one knew what could have happened.

Long Yi rubbed the beard stubble on his chin and pondered. It seemed that there was something wrong with this matter. What exactly was the thing that required Shark Patriarch using the daughter of the Sea Emperor and Liuli to refine it? Could it be that these two women had secrets not known to anyone? It seemed the truth about the matter of the banishment of the Mermaid Imperial family was not simple at all.

“Bifei, how were you two captured?” Long Yi didn’t think more about the reasons. Instead, he thought to look for further clues from this direction.

“In the first place, I took the Purple Gold Soul Stone and hastily returned with Xiaomi to participate in the Sea Race Convention. Merely, because of the internal strife between the Sea Emperor and the alliance of Shark Clan and the others, the Sea Race Convention was postponed. We then took advantage of the chaos and entered Undersea City. At that time, I recalled our empress having a good personal friendship with the patriarch of the Clam Clan, so I went to look for him with the Purple Gold Soul Stone, but somehow this matter was exposed and implicated the Clam Clan. I am ashamed to face them…” Bifei said in a low voice.

The Purple Gold Soul Stone was a priceless treasure among the entire current Sea Race. Everyone coveted the energy contained within it. Basically, Bifei had wanted to exchange this thing for the complete support of the Clam Clan because she had known that the Sea Emperor regarded the Clam Clan very highly. If Clam Clan had offered this thing to the Sea Emperor, they would have been even more favored by the Sea Emperor. Unfortunately, the Shark Patriarch had gotten wind of this and ruthlessly exterminated the entire Clam Clan. Meanwhile, while the two had been running away, they were also caught to be interrogated about the whereabouts of the Purple Gold Soul Stone.

“Where is the Purple Gold Purple Stone?” Long Yi asked.

“I hid in a secret place. I am sure that they have not found it. If they had found it, I and Xiaomi would already have been killed,” Bifei tucked a bit of her hair behind her ear and said this complacently. This demeanor startled Long Yi.

“Did you return to Mermaid Clan?” Long Yi asked.

Bifei’s expression became gloomy, and she said, “While the other places within Undersea City are dangerous, Mermaid Clan is even more dangerous compared to these other places. When the Mermaid Imperial Clan was banished, I don’t know whether someone from inside the Mermaid Clan also played a role in this matter, so I don’t dare to take the risk.”

Long Yi nodded his head. Bifei was a very cautious person. She was always careful, but he didn’t think there was a spy in Clam Clan. Then who exactly had leaked the news? Could it really be someone from the Clam Clan?

“Oh, that’s right. The Patriarch of the Clam Clan said that the value of the Purple Gold Soul Stone was not only due to the huge amount of energy contained within it,” Bifei suddenly recalled something and revealed this to Long Yi.

“Not only the energy… then what else?” Long Yi asked, feeling this might be the key of the matter.

“I don’t know. Right when the Patriarch of the Clam Clan was about to tell me, the army of the Shark Clan attacked,” Bifei frowned and said.

Long Yi thought for a bit and asked Golden Shark: “Do you have a way to lead us into that forbidden land?”

Golden Shark thought for a bit and said, “Replying to Master, it is not difficult to enter. It’s just that someone else is responsible for guarding inside. I fear we will be discovered easily.”

“As long as we can get in, you don’t need to worry about anything else.” Long Yi smiled as he looked forward to seeing what was inside.
