Yu Jiaorong thought about it and finally answered truthfully.
"It's the White Shark tribe."
"What did you say, White Shark?"
The Great Elder's face suddenly changed, and even his body couldn't help but tremble violently. The White Shark Clan was well-known to everyone in the East China Sea. They were the supreme overlords of the East China Sea, with terrifying power. No other race could compete with them.
Their mermaid tribe is very weak, almost at the bottom of all sea tribes. When their people hear the name of the white shark tribe, they are usually scared out of their wits and dare not provoke them at all.
Yu Jiaorong knew that the Great Elder would have this reaction, which was why she hesitated before.
After a long while, the elder's complexion recovered a little, and he said, "Jiaorong, we mermaids cannot keep this person, so let's send him away quickly."
If the White Sharks were to find out what Wu Chen was doing in their mermaid tribe, then what awaits them would be an absolute catastrophe. The wrath of the White Sharks is something that they cannot bear at all.
Yu Jiaorong said: "Great Elder, we can't send this man away. Once we send him away, he will surely die."
The elder said: "Jiaorong, why don't you listen to my advice? This person has offended the white shark tribe. We mermaids can't keep him. If the white sharks find him, then our mermaids will be finished."
Their mermaid tribe is weak, and they have been able to reproduce and survive safely to this day with great difficulty. They do not want to offend the white shark tribe because of an outsider, because the consequences of offending the white shark tribe would be very terrible, and their mermaid tribe would be destroyed by the white shark tribe in an instant.
Before Yu Jiaorong came, she had already considered this issue carefully.
"Great Elder, he is also a true disciple of Beichen Academy. If the people of Beichen Academy knew that we expelled their people, and even caused the death of their true disciples, Beichen Academy would definitely be furious. How would we bear the consequences then?"
She knew that the Great Elder was concerned about the safety and survival of their mermaid tribe, so he couldn't wait to expel Wu Chen. It was not because he was afraid of death, because whenever their mermaid tribe encountered danger, the Great Elder was always the one fighting in the front.
"this?"
Upon hearing about Beichen Court, the Great Elder's heart sank again. Beichen Court was one of the ten holy places of the immortal way, with extremely powerful strength, far superior to their mermaid clan. Wu Chen was their true disciple and an alchemist with unlimited potential. If they learned that they had expelled him, then Beichen Court would definitely be furious. At that time, what awaited their mermaid clan would also be the disaster of genocide.
There were disasters on both sides, which really worried her to death. She had no idea what to do.
Yu Jiaorong continued, "Great Elder, actually, I brought him back for another purpose, which is to ask him to help treat my mother. As you know, my mother has been ill for so long and there has been no cure. Maybe he can find a way to treat her, but you never know."
The Great Elder asked, "Are you sure he can really cure the clan leader's illness?"
For a long time, the illness of the patriarch has been the top priority of their mermaid tribe. In recent years, their mermaid tribe has been weak and their status has been declining step by step, which has a lot to do with the patriarch's illness. If the patriarch's illness can be cured, then the strength of their mermaid tribe will be enhanced accordingly, and they will not have to be afraid of those foreign enemies.
"have no idea."
Yu Jiaorong shook her head. She had originally asked Wu Chen to treat her mother, but in the end, she herself was in such a state, her life was in danger and she would not live long. It really was true that man proposes, God disposes.
The elder calmed down, thought for a moment, and said, "Jiaorong, I think it would be better if we hand this man back to Beichen Academy. The feud between him and the White Shark Clan should be settled by Beichen Academy and the White Shark Clan. There is no need for us mermaids to get involved."
Their mermaid tribe was too weak and had no way of competing with the white shark tribe. If they provoked the white shark tribe, there would be only one outcome, which was to be destroyed. There was no other possibility.
Therefore, they really did not dare to take in Wu Chen. The best way was to send them to Beichen Academy and let Beichen Academy deal with the problem of the White Shark Tribe.
Yu Jiaorong asked, "But what about mother's illness? Should we just let it drag on?"
As a daughter, Yu Jiaorong certainly hopes that her mother will be healthy and live a long life, so she tries her best to seize every opportunity, hoping that her mother can get rid of the torment of illness as soon as possible.
The Great Elder said: "Even if he can really save the clan leader, how can he save him when he himself is in this state?"
Yu Jiaorong asked: "Great Elder, take a look, do you have any way to treat him?"
The Great Elder said without thinking, "If I had a way to treat him, then the clan leader's illness would have been cured long ago. His condition is basically the same as the clan leader's."
Yu Jiaorong was speechless. Originally, she had no idea why Wu Chen suddenly became like this. However, after listening to the analysis of the Great Elder, she finally understood. Wu Chen's illness had many similarities with her mother's. Both were caused by a sudden increase in strength. The difference was that Wu Chen's illness was caused by swallowing elixirs, while her mother's illness was caused by using secret techniques.
Practitioners improve their cultivation step by step with solid efforts. No one can achieve improvement overnight. If one's cultivation level and strength increase suddenly, problems will easily arise, and various ills will follow.
"Jiaorong, I suggest that we hand him over to Beichen Academy. There are all kinds of powerful monks in Beichen Academy, and there are all kinds of alchemy masters who are proficient in medicine. Their people are definitely more powerful than us. If we leave him here and his illness cannot be treated in time and he dies, then our mermaid tribe will be in big trouble."
Yu Jiaorong thought about it and it made sense. Beichen Temple was one of the ten holy places of the immortal sects. The sect was extremely powerful, with many strong men from all walks of life. Its dean was even a supreme semi-god-level strong man. His strength was so terrifying that it was beyond her imagination.
As for alchemists, Beichen Academy is also full of talented people. Among the young alchemists alone, including Wu Chen, there are four fifth-level alchemists. If the older generation of people are included, the number will be even greater, not to mention that there is also a sixth-level alchemist in Beichen Academy. His alchemy and medical skills are superb and unparalleled in the world.
