Half an hour later, the Siren Clan Leader's condition finally stabilized and no longer worsened. Ye Chuan took out all the poisonous needles in his body, which were so black and shiny that it made people's scalp numb. Although he was still very weak, the old man finally regained consciousness.
"Clan leader, what is going on?" Ye Chuan asked, getting straight to the point.
The journey from Dragon King Island in the East China Sea was relatively smooth, but when we arrived near the Lost City, the holy land of the Kraken Clan, there was a sudden disturbance. First a super electric eel came, and then the killer rain demon suddenly attacked, which made people feel that something was wrong. The killer Rain Demon did not come for himself, but obviously for the Siren Clan Leader, which made people even more confused.
Recalling the actions and constant urgings of the Siren Clan Leader along the way, Ye Chuan was now certain that the old man, the Siren Clan Leader, must be hiding something. Whether it's a super electric eel or a killer rain demon, their combat power is extraordinary and can annihilate an entire army. What kind of masters or monsters will you encounter next
Ye Chuan's face was solemn and he ordered the Sea Dragon Boat to stop. He would never let Zhu Sijia and many Yunwu Sect disciples take risks together without asking the whole story clearly.
"I don't know yet. Did the killer named Rain Demon... admit the wrong person?"
The Siren Clan Leader said, his eyes twinkling.
Ye Chuan nodded and said: "Well, it's possible. Killers are also human beings. It's possible that they are stupid enough to find the wrong target. Maybe they are seasick and afraid of water like the plague demon Abbas. Cut off a person's head and go back to report. Unfortunately, we just found the patriarch, and the killer is really stupid."
The old man's face suddenly turned red, and everyone could hear Ye Chuan's sarcasm.
"Grandpa, what's going on? Who sent that killer?" Hai Lili couldn't help but feel embarrassed. It seemed that the person who lied was not the leader of the Siren clan but her. She looked guilty and couldn't face Ye Chuan. Even before the Yunwu Sect went to sea, she had a vague feeling that something was wrong. She always felt that her grandfather seemed to be hiding something.
The old man didn't speak and became silent.
Ye Chuan sat down cross-legged, without pressing or urging, and said calmly: "Master Clan Leader, for the sake of your Siren Clan's great help, I can take a risk with you without asking for the truth. However, let It is impossible for many Yunwu Sect disciples to take risks in ignorance and risk their lives. If you don’t explain clearly, either the sea dragon ship will stay here forever, or you will lead your people to continue moving forward, and we will find a way to return to the Central Plains Continent. "
Ye Chuan gave the old man some respect and spoke politely, but in a firm tone.
Having said this, the old man couldn't hide it even if he wanted to. He sighed quietly and said: "Who sent that killer? I really don't know. This time when we return to the Lost City of Siren Holy Land, we are indeed going to kill him." Get the sacred Poseidon Horn. A long time ago, the Lost City of the Kraken Holy Land was weakened by a civil strife, and then its position was exposed and targeted, and it was almost forcibly attacked. Under the desperate protection of the tribe, the Lost City was preserved However, after the removal of the tenth layer of protective restrictions and the removal of the ninth layer of guards, the strength is not as good as before. Even this last layer of protective restrictions has also been destroyed. It is loosened every hundred years and requires the maintenance of future generations."
"In a few days, it happens to be the day when the guardian restrictions of the Lost City are loosened?" Ye Chuan asked, grasping the key to the Siren Clan's long words.
"yes."
The old man did not deny that the main purpose of coming all the way this time was to take out the sacred Poseidon Horn, but maintaining the loose guardian restrictions was also a major reason. Every hundred years, even if they are far away from the ends of the world, they have to come back to maintain the protective restrictions. This is the task of every clan leader to maintain the inheritance of the Kraken clan.
With the current strength of the Kraken clan, there is no way to reoccupy and rule the lost city of the holy land, but it cannot let this race's holy land completely decline and be occupied by others.
"It seems that there are many people who are eyeing your Siren Clan's holy land and have arrived in the nearby waters early."
Ye Chuan finally understood what was going on. Apparently, someone had been eyeing the Lost City for a long time, trying to seal off the sea area and seize the treasures in the Lost City alone. To achieve the goal, other forces must not be allowed to get involved, let alone the Kraken clan, which can smoothly enter the Lost City to maintain the protection restrictions. The killer Rain Demon was obviously ordered to assassinate the leader of the Kraken clan.
After pondering for a while, Ye Chuan still didn't understand something, so he asked, "Master Patriarch, in this case, why didn't you come back earlier and take precautions? Could it be that inside the Lost City... "
"The Lost City's last protective restriction is called the Sea and Sky Restriction in All Directions. It completely isolates the Lost City from the outside world, preventing people from outside from entering and people from inside from coming out."
The leader of the Kraken clan paused and said in a deep voice: "The civil strife a long time ago caused fatal damage to the Kraken clan, and the consequences are endless. Many of the clan members who rebelled back then have become ghosts, and they will attack people when they see them. Kill. Later, every time the restriction was loosened, many monsters with keen senses were attracted to break in. As time goes by, the Lost City is full of dangers. Even if we want to enter the Lost City in advance to take precautions, we don’t have the ability."
The old man's face was full of bitterness, and he sighed quietly again.
Every racial holy land is a refuge and source of strength for a race, but the Lost City is an exception. It is precisely because of the loss of this holy land of the race that the Kraken clan is getting worse and weaker. The weaker it becomes, the less able it is to return to the lost city, the holy land of the race, to obtain its original power. The health of the clan members is getting worse and worse, and their cultivation is getting worse with each generation. This has formed A vicious cycle. This is the pain of the Siren Clan, and the misfortune of the Lost City, the holy land of the race. Without the careful care and management of the clan members, the Lost City will become increasingly chaotic, and the power of the restriction will become less powerful year by year. If this continues, one day it will completely collapse and be annihilated in the long river of time.
"So that's the case, no wonder..."
Ye Chuan nodded and finally understood the old man's real purpose of asking him to go to sea. Escorting the sacred object Poseidon's Horn was just an excuse. The key was to use his own power to break into the Lost City and retrieve the sacred object. With the current strength of the Siren Clan, the Lost City cannot be entered, or even if it is entered, it will be untenable. How can we take out the sacred objects
"Master Patriarch, what's going on with that Lord Qingtian?" Ye Chuan asked, remembering what the killer Yu Mo said when he left.
"I don't know. Maybe it's some big shot who covers the sky with one hand, or some super master."
The leader of the Kraken clan shook his head. He really didn't know this. However, every time the Lost City's guarding restrictions are loosened, some heaven-defying monsters and human masters will appear. The closer you get to the Lost City, the more dangerous it becomes. This is expected and has not been mentioned before. On the one hand, he was worried that Ye Chuan would shrink from the battle, and on the other hand, he was also worried that the tribesmen would be too worried. The Siren Clan is deteriorating, and there are only a handful of people who followed him to the Lost City a hundred years ago. The younger generation of tribesmen like Hai Lili only know that the Lost City is a sacred place for the race, and they know nothing else.
"If I guessed correctly, it should be Qing Tianhou of the Qin Dynasty."
Zhu Sijia suddenly interrupted. Ye Chuan didn't care about many things. She was taking care of many things inside and outside the sect. She happened to hear the spy say that she knew a thing or two about Qingtianhou's situation. After a pause, he looked at Ye Chuan and said, "This is a prince who suddenly appeared in the Great Qin Dynasty in recent years. It is said that that guy is not from the wild world, but a master from the outer world who calls himself Qingtian Hou. , the barbarians who somehow conquered the western frontier of the Qin Dynasty claimed to have thousands of ambitious soldiers. Rumor has it that this guy has a handsome face and is young, but his cultivation is unfathomable. Even Jiang Tunsheng, the national master, can't do anything to him and can't kill him. He can only recruit people."
Can't even kill the national master Jiang Tunsheng
Ye Chuan's expression changed suddenly. He knew how powerful the National Master Jiang Tunsheng was. Back then, if the White-haired Queen of the Heavenly Demon Sect hadn't suddenly arrived, he might have died at the hands of the Imperial Master Jiang Tunsheng. From this point of view, this Qingtianhou is indeed extraordinary, at least a super master in the semi-saint realm!
"It is said that Qingtianhou often says things that people don't understand and does things that no one can understand. There are also a few words that he often talks about, such as 'if people don't do it for themselves, they will be destroyed by heaven and earth' and 'I am the only one in heaven and under heaven.'" , 'Now that I'm here, I have to control the world', he is extremely arrogant." Zhu Sijia said, her face was solemn when she talked about this Qingtianhou.
There is no doubt that this is an extremely difficult guy. Originally, Zhu Sijia thought that this guy would not have any interactions with him since he was far to the west of the Qin Dynasty, but he did not expect that he would bump into him so quickly.
