I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2028 Join forces
"I did it." The eldest prince's words were like thunder, interrupting Liu Jun's unfinished words.

He did not hesitate or evade, and his tone revealed an indescribable honesty and determination. This sudden confession made Liu Jun stunned for a moment. He opened his mouth, but found that he had forgotten what to say for a moment, and his eyes were full of astonishment and confusion.

Seeing this, the eldest prince sighed slightly and continued, "However, I have no ill intentions. I have never thought of hurting anyone, let alone taking anyone's life. Although I did send people to kidnap your friend, it was also a last resort under extreme desperation. The reason I did this was just to hope that you could help and save my father."

Liu Jun listened to the eldest prince's explanation and nodded slightly. He had heard from Brother Tiger that although the battle was fierce and the two sides were in a stalemate, fortunately, there were no serious casualties on their side. The only one who was seriously injured was because he accidentally fell down after being hit by the black crab with poisonous spines, and his head hit a hard object, causing a lot of blood. But fortunately, the fish-headed people took action in time and bandaged his wound.

Thinking of this, Liu Jun calmed down a little. Although the eldest prince's actions were not appropriate, his starting point was to save his father. He could understand this filial piety. Fortunately, no casualties were caused, so he could still bear it.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness." The eldest prince suddenly stopped and bowed to apologize to Liu Jun. "I have already informed my father about this matter. After the banquet, I will accept the due punishment. No matter what the result is, I am willing to take all responsibility."

"Your Highness, there is no need to do this," Liu Jun said slowly, "I understand your situation and difficulties at that time. But this matter concerns the safety of my friends after all. I hope you can ensure that they will not be threatened in the future."

Upon hearing this, the eldest prince nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, I will immediately arrange for someone to ensure the safety of your friends. At the same time, I will do my best to make up for the damage this incident has caused them."

"No, what I mean is," Liu Jun's eyes became sharp, "Who gave you the information? I need to find the enemy in the dark and prevent it from happening."

In fact, he already had his own guesses about this sudden attack, he just needed to confirm it.

The eldest prince answered truthfully without any hesitation: "It is Xiaoyao Palace."

After all, Liu Jun is now the benefactor of the entire sea beast clan. He not only saved his father, but also helped them through an unprecedented crisis. In terms of relationship, they are naturally closer to Liu Jun.

"Xiaoyao Palace?" Liu Jun couldn't help but frowned slightly when he heard that.

He was not unfamiliar with this name, because he had just heard it a few days ago. Since the information came from Xiaoyao Palace, the person behind the incident was most likely this Xiaoyao Gongzi.

Thinking of this, a hint of coldness flashed across Liu Jun's eyes. This Young Master Xiaoyao was really a dog-skin plaster, always sticking to him and playing dirty tricks behind his back.

"I have sent people to search the entire sea for them. We will capture them and bring them to you."

A cold light flashed in the eldest prince's eyes, and he spoke through gritted teeth.

He had previously sent people to attack Liu Jun's friend because he was misled by the intelligence from Xiaoyao Palace. The intelligence said that the Holy Son Liu Jun had a bad temper and hated the sea beasts. That was why he had people capture Liu Jun's friend as a threat. However, now that he thought about it, there were actually many doubts about the intelligence. It was just that he was eager to save his father at the time and wanted to find a way to save his father, so he did not think carefully.

"If you find them, be sure to tell me. I want to go and talk to them in person." Liu Jun said with narrowed eyes.

"Don't worry, I won't let them go." The eldest prince responded respectfully, his voice low and powerful.

At this time, in the vast ocean, several people were hiding on a very remote island, surrounded by dense vegetation and surging waves, as if isolated from the world. They looked solemn and nervous, obviously facing an unprecedented crisis.

"What's going on? Are the sea beasts crazy? Why are they chasing us everywhere?" Gao Qiao Yijie was covered in dirt and disheveled clothes, and there was a bit of fear and confusion in his words. He had never seen the sea beasts so crazy, which made him feel unprecedented fear.

"That shouldn't be the case. Most of the sea beasts' supplies are provided by our Xiaoyao Palace. Why would they chase us? Aren't they afraid that we will cut off their supplies?"

The person who spoke was called Cha Daoyi, one of the guest elders of Xiaoyao Palace. His strength was in the middle stage of Half-Step God King Realm. His tone also contained some doubt and confusion.

As a high-ranking official of Xiaoyao Palace, he certainly knew the interests between Xiaoyao Palace and the Sea Beast Clan, and knew that the two sides had been cooperating for a long time, so he was very confused about this incident.

Young Master Xiaoyao's face was gloomy, his eyes revealed a bit of coldness and determination, he slowly said: "They are so unscrupulous and so crazy, there is only one possibility, that is, they are cooperating with the Skyfire Divine Realm. They want to hand us over to that Liu Jun as a token of surrender."

The words of Master Xiaoyao were like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of the two people hard. They had never thought that the sea beasts would join forces with the Skyfire Divine Realm to put them to death. "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must find a way to leave here, return to Xiaoyao Palace, and tell my brother this news. Only in this way can we have a chance to turn the situation around and turn danger into safety." Master Xiaoyao said.

Che Daoyi slowly took out a yellowed map from his arms, tapped it lightly with his fingers, and pointed to two locations on it.

"Look, this is the island we are on now, surrounded by water and with complex terrain."

The two people's eyes followed the movement of his fingers, and finally stopped on another island marked with a special symbol on the map.

"And that place," Che Daoyi continued, "is where the teleportation array we set up earlier is located. As long as we can reach there, we can use the power of the teleportation array to teleport directly back to safe land."

However, ideals are always beautiful, but reality is always full of challenges. Between the two islands, there is a sea full of undercurrents and rough waves. What's worse is that the Death Sea is a no-fly zone in the entire sea area, and any means of flying are not allowed here. If you want to go there, you can only take the water route, which will undoubtedly expose you to the search of the sea beasts and is full of dangers.

Upon seeing this, Master Xiaoyao frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "I have a way, but... someone has to sacrifice himself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Takahashi Ichisuke stepped forward without hesitation and said, "Then I'll do it."

He is not that brave, and the main reason is that he has no other choice. There are only three people here, and Xiaoyao Gongzi, as the younger brother of the Palace Master of Xiaoyao Palace, has a noble status and heavy responsibilities, so he naturally cannot take risks easily. Che Daoyi is very powerful, and as a senior official of Xiaoyao Palace, he also shoulders an important mission. In comparison, although Gaoqiao Yijie is quite powerful, he is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate in this situation.

"Brother Takahashi, this move is bound to be extremely dangerous. Have you really made up your mind?" Che Daoyi asked earnestly, even wiping away tears.

"Senior Che, Brother Xiaoyao, although I, Takahashi Ichisuke, am not a hero, I am definitely not a coward. For the sake of everyone's safety, I am willing to stand up." Takahashi Ichisuke said righteously.

"Okay, Brother Gaoqiao, don't worry. I, Young Master Xiaoyao, always keep my word. If you are unlucky enough to encounter an accident, I will fight with my life to avenge you, and I will also do my best to take care of your family and let them live in peace and comfort." Young Master Xiaoyao said with a solemn expression and a firm tone.

"Thank you, sir. I will never forget your great kindness." Takahashi Ike replied with tears of gratitude in his eyes.

"It's okay. When it's late at night and everyone is asleep, Brother Takahashi, you should make some big noise on this island. Remember, the bigger the noise, the better. You must attract all the soldiers of the sea beast tribe. At that time, you need to do your best to delay them for a while and buy us a chance to escape." Young Master Xiaoyao lowered his voice and laid out the plan in detail.

"Okay, sir, don't worry. Although I, Takahashi Ichisuke, am not talented, I will try my best to hold them back and will not let them have a moment to breathe." Takahashi Ichisuke looked determined and promised, patting his chest.

Young Master Xiaoyao nodded slightly, then turned to Elder Dao Yi who was standing beside him and said, "Elder Che, I have another flying magic weapon in my hand. Although the sky above this sea area is covered by a forbidden air formation and we cannot fly, with the speed of this flying magic weapon, we can speed across the sea for a distance and shake off the pursuers of the sea beasts. If a sea beast discovers our whereabouts, I'll trouble you to take action to deal with it."

"Okay, Master Xiaoyao, don't worry. Although I'm old, my cultivation is still good enough to deal with a few sea beasts." Elder Cha Daoyi stroked his beard and nodded confidently in agreement.

At this point, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Young Master Xiaoyao's eyes: "Once we escape successfully, I will tear Liu Jun into pieces to vent my hatred!"

Cha Daoyi and Gao Qiao Yijie were silent when they heard this. They were secretly wondering what Liu Jun had done to Xiaoyao Gongzi that made him hate him so deeply and vow to kill him. But no matter what, it was already like this, and they had to fully support Xiaoyao Gongzi and get through this difficult time together.
As the night deepened, the sea breeze howled, and the waves beat against the shore, making waves. The three of them prayed in their hearts, hoping that this operation would go smoothly, and that they could successfully escape from this land of death and regain their freedom. And Xiaoyao Gongzi secretly swore that no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was, he would kill Liu Jun with his own hands and seek justice for himself.

At this moment, Liu Jun, who was in the luxurious dinner of the sea beast tribe, suddenly couldn't help but sneezed several times in succession. The sound echoed in the magnificent hall, attracting curious glances from people around him.

"Damn it, who is talking about me behind my back?" Liu Jun rubbed his nose and muttered softly, with a joking look on his face. Although the voice was soft, it was particularly clear in this lively atmosphere.

An old man sitting next to him heard this and said with a smile: "Your Highness the Saint is extremely powerful and has excellent character. Others like you so much that they can't wait to scold you."

The old man's words were full of respect and teasing, making the atmosphere more relaxed and pleasant.

This old man is the royal think tank of the sea beast tribe. He has been assisting with his profound wisdom and strategy since the previous sea beast king came to power. He has served for three dynasties and is a rare wise man in the sea beast tribe, deeply respected by everyone.
