Chapter 995 - 742: Tangtang, You’re Here
Lu Xiao carried Shen Tang as they flew rapidly through the sky, with the boundless deep ocean beneath them.
The territory of the Water Clan covered nearly half of the ocean area on Eris Star. Looking down from high above, the sea appeared an exceptionally eerie deep blue, making one feel that something unspeakable lay beneath it.
"Are we almost there?" Shen Tang asked, lying on his back, with the sound of the rushing wind in her ears.
Lu Xiao narrowed his beast-like eyes, staring at the faintly visible coastline in the distance, "We’ll reach the border in half an hour. The pollution here looks severe."
Shen Tang noticed it too.
The sea color here was distinctly abnormal, deep blue to the point of black. From a distance, the land beyond the border looked barren, with hardly any plants or animals in sight.
Even the vines that followed them all the way shrank back in fear upon reaching the border, refusing to step forward, all stopped outside.
...
In the deep sea, there was a magnificent underwater palace, resplendent as if inlaid with countless treasures and pearls, emitting light as bright as daylight even at such depths.
Inside the palace.
A young man lay on the couch, his body slender, extraordinarily handsome and delicate, his eyebrows and eyes exceedingly superior.
His light golden hair had grown longer than before, hanging down his back. It should appear noble and holy, yet exuded an indescribable wickedness.
The whole person, compared to his youthful years, possessed more majesty and maturity, looking like a true king.
He sat lazily on the throne, holding a young and beautiful Sea Clan female in his arms.
The female, with ebony hair and snow-white skin, had charming eyes, dressed only in a thin veil, lying bonelessly in his arms, serving him obediently.
Suddenly, Jia Lan abruptly opened his deep blue eyes, a glimmer of darkness flashing in them.
The beautiful servant had wine in her mouth, about to offer it to him.
But he mercilessly pushed her away.
The beauty didn’t expect him to act and screamed as she fell to the ground, the wine glass in her hand shattering and wine spilling everywhere.
"Your Majesty..." she paused in surprise, immediately feigning a pitiful look, her slender fingers climbing up the man’s thigh, trying to get close again.
But he kicked her away.
The man coldly uttered one word, "Scram."
The beauty, sensing his suddenly foul mood along with the chilling aura of killing intent, was too frightened to pretend any longer, scrambling out in a panic.
Liu Ye tidied his somewhat disheveled collar, got up, and walked to the palace door.
When the Beastmen of the Water Clan saw him, they all saluted respectfully, faces full of awe.
No one in the Water Clan dared not fear this new Sea Emperor.
It was known that half a year ago, when he first came to the sea area, he single-handedly killed the previous Sea Emperor and took the throne. Anyone daring to resist was killed by him.
This Sea Emperor was extremely powerful, with a highly unique superpower—he could control those fearsome Mutated Sea Beasts polluted, making them slaves of the Sea Country!
As the sea area pollution became more severe, the Water Clan was no longer as prosperous as it once was, and those fierce Mutated Sea Beasts were the biggest headache for the Beastmen, with countless dying each year in their jaws.
But since this Sea Emperor took the throne, there had been no incidents of Sea Beasts attacking the subordinate Beastmen.
Of course, this protection was only for those Beastmen who submitted to him.
Those who dared defy him were all attacked by Mutated Sea Beasts.
Previously, a particularly prosperous family was annihilated overnight for not submitting to this new Sea Emperor.
It’s said that their bodies were all devoured by the beast horde, and not a single complete corpse was left, making it the most tragic extermination case in a hundred years!
"Does Your Majesty have any orders?" the leading general stepped forward to inquire.
"There are two fools trespassing into the Water Clan, go kill them, don’t let these nuisances appear before me."
Liu Ye looked into the distance, his voice as cold as ice.
"Otherwise, present your heads."
The general broke out in a cold sweat, "Yes! We strictly follow Your Majesty’s orders."
After speaking, he immediately led a large number of subordinates away.
Liu Ye’s deep blue eyes swirled with a storm, a faint indifferent smile hanging on his handsome face.
——Tangtang.
——You really have no sense of what’s dead or alive.
Clearly, he had already completely severed ties with her, originally planning to spare her and go their separate ways.
But she insisted on coming here, walking right into the trap.
He never refused prey that delivered itself to his door.
Since she and her lover dared to come, they shouldn’t think of leaving alive.
