When Liu Ming retracted his gaze and recovered his senses, a dignified look appeared on his face.
Because he found that besides the guard leader in the late stage of the liquid that he had seen before and the other two guards who had been holding him before, there was another old man with messy hair not far in front of him.
The old man's hair was silvery white, he was wearing a shabby gray robe, his face was densely wrinkled, and his cheeks were scarred.
The old man stood in place, faintly blending with the surrounding environment, and Liu Ming's huge mental power could not sense the level of this old cultivation.
While Liu Ming was still looking at this person carefully, the leader of the late stage condensate guard, with a very respectful face, walked slowly to the old man's side, bowed slightly, and didn't know what he was saying in a low voice.
The scarred old man opened his eyes suddenly, raised his head and looked at Liu Ming, his face flashed with a hint of surprise, then he nodded slightly, and the three guards hurriedly left here with respectful expressions.
In this way, only Liu Ming and the old man remained in place.
"The old man doesn't know where you came from, and why Master Haihuang personally named you and sent you. But now that you are here, your life and death are all in the hands of the old man, do you understand that?"
The old man's voice is not loud, but it is clear as usual in his ears.
Liu Ming's expression was indifferent, without blinking his eyes.
Seeing this, the scarred old man didn't feel angry after he chuckled. Instead, he continued to say:
"Being a mine slave here, there are only two rules. One is don’t want to escape, otherwise you just have to catch it and kill it on the spot without any mercy. Second, you must hand in a certain amount of ore every month in exchange for a service. The antidote of the Sea Emperor's Pill that was released in the current month, otherwise he would be poisoned and die within three days."
When Liu Ming heard the "Sea Emperor Pill Antidote", his expression changed slightly, and then he knew the name of the black pill he had taken. According to the old man, the antidote that is changed every month is just for suppressing use.
After the old man finished speaking, he saw Liu Ming's face showing a pensive look, and then he asked again in a shocked voice: "Do you have anything else you don't know?"
After Liu Ming's eyes flashed, he asked faintly:
"What if I can hand in more ore?"
Hearing this, the old man chuckled lightly:
"If you can hand in more ore, you can exchange some benefits with the old man. Even as a mine slave, you can live very well below. But before that, you must find a way to survive the first one. Let's talk about it every month."
After the old man said this, he didn't wait for Liu Ming to think, he stretched out his shriveled palm, and took out a disc from his arms. The whole body was silver with introverted light. It was about the size of two palms with densely engraved symbols. Arts.
The old man slapped the disc with one hand, and suddenly muttered words with a solemn face. At the same time, he held up the disc with his right hand and poured the mana into it.
A circle of dazzling silver light suddenly broke out from the disc.
In the semi-circular blue light curtain covering the entrance of the giant cave, after a deafening roar, the surrounding ground also began to vibrate, and a shining silver light, rotating symbolic array suddenly emerged from the blue light curtain. .
"open!"
The old man gave a soft yell, raised his hand to strike a magical decision, and flew towards the huge rune formation.
A circle of light silver ripples flashed out of the outer part of the symbolic array immediately, and a crack opened in an instant.
Then the old man's two big sleeves flicked, and a majestic force gushed out.
Liu Ming only felt a tremor in his body, and was immediately pushed away by Juli's bag of towards the gap in the talisman formation.
Under the darkness in front of him, his whole body continued to fall towards the dark place below.
…
At the same time, inside the underwater palace.
The Sea Monster Emperor, wearing a white robe, stood with his hands gloomy on the front, while Li Kun stood respectfully on the side.
"Are you serious about what you said at the beginning?" The Sea Monster Sovereign asked indifferently:
Li Kun seemed to have known that the other party would ask questions like this, and replied affirmatively with his expression unchanged: "This is true, the Canghai royal family inadvertently got a shell that you faded away many years ago, and now it is even planning to cast some kind of curse against the sky. The "Seven-Star Soul-Surfing Technique" in the forbidden technique, I want to use it to calculate your seven souls and six souls."
"Hehe, it's also a loss for the old monsters of the Sea Clan to find this Dafa!" The white-robed youth sneered after hearing the words "Seven Stars".
Naturally, he had also heard of this ancient forbidden technique.
It's just that the conditions required for this kind of great law to be cast are extremely harsh. It not only needs to gather seven powerhouses in the false pill realm, but also needs something connected with the caster's own blood, plus countless rare materials to be able to cast the spell.
And this kind of forbidden technique has been lost in the realm of the sea for many years, although I don't know how the Canghai royal family got this technique now, and how far they are preparing. But since it came out of Li Kun's mouth, it was not groundless.
After meditation in the Sea Monster Emperor's heart, he asked Li Kunxun with a sneer on his face.
"Do you have anything else that you haven't told the emperor?"
After Li Kun felt his icy gaze, his heart trembled slightly, and he quickly spoke again:
"As far as I know, the Canghai royal family is preparing to use this method on the day of a decisive battle with your majesty, and then after weakening the strength of the lord, you will be killed on the spot. After all, Li does not know the clan of the sea, he only knows this. , More information will never be known."
"Wait until the decisive battle, then cast a trick! They had a good idea!" After the Sea Monster Emperor snorted, his face was filled with groaning.
After a stick of incense, Li Kun respectfully withdrew from the hall.
Watching Li Kun go away, cold light flashed in the Sea-Monster Emperor's eyes.
Qing Qin didn't know when he appeared beside him, and asked with a worried expression on his face:
"My lord, if what this person said is true, how are you going to respond?"
"Relax, I know in my heart that this kind of heaven-defying forbidden technique is so easy to arrange? Even if it is really arranged, the emperor will naturally have the means to deal with it."
Qing Qin felt relieved after hearing that the Sea Monster Emperor seemed to not care at all.
"Master Haihuang, people have been brought here!"
When Qing Qin was talking with the Sea-Monster Emperor, Chi Koi's voice suddenly came in.
As soon as the voice fell, the Sea-Monster Emperor saw a red carp in a red tunic, slowly walking towards the center of the hall with Ye Tianmei.
Ye Tianmei has now put on a set of cyan water cloud rusty dresses, her body is curvy, and her beautiful eyes sparkle, adding a bit of gorgeous color, but her face is still cold, and her face is repelling thousands of miles. Outside.
Seeing Ye Tianmei's arrival, the Sea Monster Sovereign suddenly gathered his momentum, and suddenly turned into a smiling, gentle appearance, and waved his hand to signal the two Qingqin to avoid.
"Lord Haihuang, his subordinates will retire first!"
When Qing Qin saw this, he immediately understood, and didn't dare to hesitate to respond. After seeing the red carp's face hesitating on the side, he immediately winked at him, and then pulled him quietly and left the hall.
Ye Tianmei stood three feet away from the Sea Monster Emperor, staring blankly at the young man in a white robe in front of him, without speaking.
The Sea-Monster Emperor looked at the delicate face of the stunning woman in front of him, his eyes full of appreciation.
"I wonder if you are satisfied with the room the emperor has specially arranged for the fairy these few days?" After a long while, it was the Sea-Monster emperor who broke the silence in the house and asked in an unusually soft voice.
Upon hearing this, Ye Tianmei frowned slightly inadvertently, but did not answer the other party. Instead, he said straightforwardly:
"You don't need to say these things. Your Excellency has called me here. What's the matter?"
Upon hearing this, the Sea Monster King replied with a dumb smile:
"In this case, the emperor will just say it straight. I don't know the matter of the dual monks mentioned earlier, can you consider it?"
"This matter is easy to say, if you are willing to let my nephew leave, I can consider this matter."
As soon as the Sea-Monster Emperor's voice fell, Ye Tian raised his eyebrows and replied without thinking.
"Ye Xianzi's answer is too small for me to look down upon this seat. I don't need to say more about this condition." The Sea Monster Emperor had expected it long ago. After hearing it, his expression remained unchanged, but he still refused.
"If that's the case, there is nothing to talk about." Ye Tianmei saw the Sea-Monster Emperor's answer, his expression indifferent, and when he turned around, he walked out of the hall.
"Since you are so persistent, the emperor may also consider giving you a chance." Seeing Ye Tianmei's desire to leave, the Sea Monster Emperor suddenly said something like this after a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
The Sea-Monster Emperor's voice was not loud, but when he heard Ye Tianmei's ears, it was clear and abnormal, which made his figure that he was planning to leave before pausing, and then immediately stopped.
"what chance?"
Ye Tianmei didn't look back, but turned to face the Sea-Monster Emperor from his back, but his voice was still as cold as ever.
"As long as you can advance to the middle of the crystal transformation within ten years, the emperor will let your nephew leave. And in the meantime, the emperor can promise not to do anything more courteous to you." The sea monster emperor said. It was still plain, but he stared at Ye Tianmei's back intently, but he didn't even notice that his breathing and heartbeat could not help speeding up a bit.
Ye Tian frowned, and did not immediately ask the reason, but after a moment of hesitation, he asked again: "I really have entered the middle stage of the crystal transformation as you said, so how can you guarantee to release people as promised?"
"Guaranteed? If you really want that human race junior to leave alive, you can only believe the words of the emperor. But as a cultivator of my true alchemy stage, how can I deceive others about this kind of thing!" He squinted and chuckled lightly.
When Ye Tianmei heard this, his body trembled slightly, and under the gaze of the Sea Monster Emperor, he walked slowly towards the outside of the hall with an expressionless face.
Seeing Ye Tianmei's leaving back, the Sea Monster Emperor's face suddenly showed a strange and inexplicable expression.
After a while, he withdrew his gaze, and suddenly grabbed it with one hand, and under the flickering light in his sleeve, there was a scroll with a faint silver light in his hand.
The Sea Monster Sovereign looked at the scroll in his hand, shaking his arm, causing it to slowly unfold like a waterfall, revealing the objects on the painting.
