Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1443 The Secrets of the Sea Clan
Above the azure sea.

A hidden, azure light streaked across the sky and vanished in an instant.

Escape from the light.

A young figure dressed in a green robe walked almost side by side with a massive sea creature wearing a jade crown, revealing an eerie harmony.

Meanwhile, the young cultivator in the green robe displayed a calm demeanor.

The sea creatures wearing jade crowns clearly showed a hint of apprehension and even fear in their pupils from time to time.

He knew very well that if the Holy Maiden of the Sea Sacrifice hadn't appeared in person at the crucial moment, he would probably be in grave danger by now.

The thought of that ancient and terrifying power made the powerful sea creatures tremble slightly.

It now appears that the strength of this True Monarch Qingxuan is far more terrifying than the outside world imagined, and the strength he displayed on the battlefield was merely a facade.

The sea creatures were filled with unease.

The azure rainbow had brought them to another, quiet sea area before slowly coming to a stop.

next moment.

But beneath the calm sea in the distance, towering waves surged into the sky, weaving together into blue torrents that then solidified and emitted a blue, crystalline light.

A figure dressed in an ancient, noble, and long blue dress slowly walked out.

Looking at that figure that was both familiar and unfamiliar, Li Qing's eyes flickered slightly.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Qingxuan!"

The sea-girl who appeared bowed and said, "Why don't we let Chief Zima leave first? I would like to speak with Fellow Daoist Qingxuan alone!"

"No adults!"

The powerful sea creature standing nearby quickly spoke up to stop him, saying, "This person is no ordinary person. If he harbors any ill intentions, it may disturb the High Priest!"

Before he could speak again, the sea lord girl waved her hand gently, revealing an undeniable majesty in her deep, ocean-like eyes.

"You may leave now; do not worry about my safety!"

In the end, the powerful sea creature did not dare to continue offering words of comfort. After bowing solemnly, he landed in the distant sea with a hint of worry.

Seeing this, Li Qing did not stop it.

The colossal blue cauldron he had come to target was still hovering not far away.

Moreover, compared to killing a powerful sea creature, he was more curious about this old friend in front of him.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qingxuan!"

The sea girl smiled slightly, and the majesty on her face vanished, transforming her back into the charming sea girl she once was. Without careful observation, it would be difficult to tell that she was a sea girl; she was almost indistinguishable from a human girl. However, a faintly visible seven-colored fish scale on each side of her cheek revealed her identity.

"Fellow Daoist Lan Yi, you're too kind!"

Li Qing smiled faintly and said, "It's been many years. It seems you've found a new opportunity for good fortune, fellow Daoist!"

When the two first met, she was a sea girl who had fallen into an auction. Later, due to the influence of Qin Wanqing's Heavenly Demon Body, he developed demonic nature deep in his soul. Later, when he entered the sea tribe and killed indiscriminately, he met the sea girl again. It was with her help that he obtained the Ocean Heart to suppress the demonic nature deep in his soul.

According to the information revealed by this Lan Yihai girl, she has a deep-seated blood feud with the Kun King's lineage.

The entire Haisi tribe was completely slaughtered by the Kunmu tribe, to which the Kun King belonged.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that the sea girl who had just entered the third tier back then had now become someone whose status was no less than that of King Kun.

Li Qing gazed intently at this old friend from the past.

That ancient, noble, and long blue dress seemed to be an extraordinary treasure, completely blocking his detection.

However, he could still vaguely sense that the other party had not yet reached the late stage of the fourth tier.

The crux of the matter lies here: how can this former holy maiden of the Sea Sacrifice tribe, with her current cultivation level, be on equal footing with the Kun King, who is at the level of a great cultivator?

Just then, Li Qing suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

Just as he was about to delve deeper into the other party's cultivation level, a faint aura made him feel as if he were being swallowed by a vast ocean.

That power had clearly reached another terrifying level.

Clearly, this holy maiden of the Sea Sacrifice tribe must have a terrifying power sealed within her.

At this moment, Li Qing had already begun to have some speculations in his mind.

at the same time.

Despite Li Qing's almost offensive probing, the sea girl was not angry and continued, "I have to thank Fellow Daoist Qingxuan for all of this. If it weren't for your life-saving grace back then, I wouldn't be where I am today!"

Lan Yi made no attempt to hide the gratitude on her face.

If it weren't for this True Lord Qingxuan, she, when she was still weak back then, would probably never have been able to escape that cage, let alone have the status she has now.

"Fellow Daoist Lan Yi, you're too kind. Back then, it was a mutually beneficial arrangement between us!"

As he spoke, Li Qing couldn't help but smile.

In fact, they had a past relationship that was somewhat ambiguous.

In order to help him find out about the demonic nature of his soul, this holy maiden of the Sea Sacrifice clan once used a method that was almost like dual cultivation of the soul. Of course, that incident was more about cooperation between the two parties.

At this moment, Lan Yi seemed to have also noticed Li Qing's thoughts, and a strange expression appeared on her fair and smooth face.

"When I first heard about the changes within the Sea Clan, I was quite surprised. I never imagined that the one who was jointly ruling the Sea Clan with King Kun would be Fellow Daoist Lan Yi!"

Li Qing then turned and looked at the sea girl in front of him with curiosity.

He was quite curious about the current state of their relationship.

"I never expected that the renowned Qingxuan True Monarch on the battlefield is actually a fellow Daoist!"

Lan Yi smiled and shook her head.

Back then, she was weak and didn't even have the right to know the other party's name. She was even worried that the other party would break the contract and kill her to silence her. It wasn't until their final parting that she was able to put her mind at ease.

Since that parting, only two or three hundred years have passed, but both sides have undergone earth-shattering changes.

But after learning the other party's name, she had already learned a lot about Qingxuan Zhenjun, including the successor of the Tianshui Dao Sect.

"Your reputation has long been renowned among the sea races!"

"Fellow Daoist Lan Yi is too modest. How could I possibly compare to you!"

Even he couldn't compare to this Holy Maiden of the Sea Sacrifice at this moment. She was one of the two leaders within the Sea Clan, and her status was no less than that of a Great Cultivator.

"It is because I am no match for Fellow Daoist Qingxuan!"

Lan Yi gently shook her head: "Fellow Daoist Qing has now entered the late Nascent Soul stage, and his methods are unfathomable. All of this is due to his own strength!"

On the contrary, her power does not come from herself. In fact, some sea tribes are willing to obey her commands because she represents a supreme will.

"The reason I invited Fellow Daoist Qingxuan this time is not only because it's an old friend reunion, but also because I have another important matter I wish to discuss with Fellow Daoist Qingxuan!"

"cooperate?"

Li Qing's eyes flickered slightly.

“That’s right, I’m willing to help Fellow Daoist Qingxuan and the human forces behind him to secretly fight against King Kun!” Lan Yi nodded seriously.

Faced with such a momentous event, even Li Qing couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.

If it was because of past grievances that Lan Yi ordered another group of sea creatures to choose to stand by and do nothing, it would be understandable.

Unexpectedly, the other side even wanted to take the opportunity to unite with the human race to deal with the Kun King's lineage.

This is definitely more than just a simple grudge.

In fact, Li Qing could roughly guess that the reason why this former Holy Maiden of the Sea Sacrifice had a terrifying power sealed within her body was most likely due to methods from outside the realm. Even her current status was inextricably linked to those outside the realm.

Among all the sea creatures, the reason why the Sea Sacrifice Tribe holds a high position is not because of its strength, but because it represents the authority to worship heaven and earth, and it must also control the means to communicate with the outside world.

"Slaughtering the Sea Worship Tribes in Resistance Against King Kun"

In an instant, Li Qing's thoughts became clear.

If the Holy Maiden of the Sea Sacrifice represents the will of the sea races beyond the boundary, then why would she attack King Kun?

It's highly likely that the other party violated the will of those outside the boundary or for some other reason.

"For certain reasons, this matter cannot be made public, and our lineage cannot openly take action. However, I can inform Fellow Daoist Qingxuan of all the methods or plans that the Kun King lineage might use subsequently."

"Was that powerful figure who just left one of Fellow Daoist Lan Yi's people?"

Li Qing said slowly.

“That’s right. He was arranged by me to feign allegiance to the Kun King’s faction so that I could learn more about the activities of the Kunmu tribe!” Lan Yi nodded.

"Fellow Daoist Lan Yi is willing to meet with the leader of one of the five major forces?"

"No!"

Lan Yi shook her head again: "I can only provide important information. If Fellow Daoist Qingxuan or those major forces do not believe it, they can verify it in the war."

"Furthermore, all subsequent information I can share is with Fellow Daoist Qingxuan. I also hope that Fellow Daoist Qingxuan will not spread this information outside the circle."

Li Qing looked thoughtful.

Unexpectedly, he, who had just facilitated the alliance between the righteous and the demonic factions, was once again given a heavy responsibility.

"Of course, if they still refuse to believe it, that's fine too; just pretend this never happened."

At this moment, Li Qing no longer suppressed his inner questions: "May I ask why Fellow Daoist Lan Yi made this choice?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Yi pondered for a moment: "Logically speaking, this is an internal conflict within our sea race and should not be disclosed to outsiders."

"But since Fellow Daoist Qingxuan is so curious, I can reveal some information."

Lan Yi made no attempt to hide the hatred in her eyes: "King Kun, relying on his strength, betrayed our lineage. The reason he launched the massacre against our Sea Sacrifice tribe was to block all news and prevent our Sea Sacrifice tribe from contacting the outside world."

Even now, the Prince of Kun still refuses to curb his ambition, choosing to disobey that lord's orders and act recklessly. Naturally, I do not want to see the Prince of Kun's lineage continue to grow stronger.

At this moment, Li Qing had no more doubts.

The result was almost exactly what he had expected.

As a powerful figure like King Kun, he should have been the best representative of the sea races from beyond the boundary. If it weren't for his betrayal, how could the sea races have split apart?

"I am willing to join forces with Fellow Daoist Lan Yi to stop King Kun's ambitions!"

Li Qing slowly stated, "But I am also powerless and can only push this matter forward. I cannot guarantee that the five major forces will be willing to believe Fellow Daoist Lan Yi's information."

"It doesn't matter!"

Lan Yi slowly shook her head: "If they are unwilling, let them make their own arrangements."

"I can only offer some help from the sidelines. King Kun is powerful, and I am not able to confront him head-on for the time being."

Taking this opportunity, Li Qing also began to ask about the most important thing to him.

"I have another question I'd like to ask Fellow Daoist Lan Yi?"

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, please don't stand on ceremony, just speak freely!"

"I've heard that the noble family possesses an ancient dragon whale. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lan Yi could provide any information about that ancient dragon whale?"

Since the start of the great battle, the ancient dragon whale has still not appeared on the battlefield, and Li Qing can't help but feel a bit anxious.

If things continue like this, and the war suddenly ends, the Blood Spirit Flood Dragon's advancement will be completely lost.

With his current strength, he is clearly not qualified to venture into the heart of the sea tribe and hunt down that ancient dragon whale.

the other side.

Lan Yi looked somewhat surprised.

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan is actually interested in that ancient dragon whale?"

"It is a naturally occurring aberration controlled by the Spirit Feeding Tribe. Even though it has not yet broken through to the late-stage peak of the fourth rank, its combat power is still terrifying due to its pure and powerful true dragon bloodline."

Lan Yi continued after a moment's thought, "Among the four royal tribes, the Spirit Feeding Tribe has secretly pledged allegiance to King Kun. Once the war intensifies, that ancient dragon whale will most likely also appear."

Hearing these words, Li Qing finally felt relieved.

He was worried that the ancient dragon whale was not under the control of the Kun King's lineage, which is why it did not show itself.

In retrospect, this was because the war had not yet reached its most intense stage.

Just then, Lan Yi seemed to have guessed Li Qing's thoughts and smiled slightly, "Although the ancient dragon whale is terrifyingly powerful, it also has a huge flaw!"

"flaw?"

Li Qing feigned surprise, but a hint of joy flashed through his heart.

"In order to better control that ancient dragon whale, the Spirit Feeding Tribe secretly suppressed its powerful soul. Compared to its direct strength, its soul is its greatest weakness."

"Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Daoist Lan Yi!"

Li Qing took the initiative to bow.

He naturally understood that the other party had guessed his purpose, which was why they were intentionally giving him pointers.

"This is the current distribution of power among the sea tribes controlled by the Kun King lineage. Fellow Daoist Qingxuan can use it as a reference. If the Kun King lineage has any other plans for action in the future, I will also proactively inform you through this token."

An antique blue token slowly emerged.

"After I return, I will discuss this matter with the five major powers and do my best to help them reach a consensus with Fellow Daoist Lan Yi!"

Li Qing put away the token, and also withdrew his gaze from the blue giant cauldron treasure not far away.

With everything in harmony and old friends meeting again, he couldn't very well bring up the matter of the blue cauldron again.

"I shall take my leave now!"

But before Li Qing could finish speaking...

The giant blue cauldron flew over on its own.

“I naturally understand Fellow Daoist Qingxuan’s purpose in coming here. This precious cauldron originally belonged to the Kun King’s lineage, so Lan Yi will take this opportunity to present it to the Buddha.”
