moonlit night

The moment he saw the comer clearly, the expression of the man in yellow changed slightly, but he was quickly restrained.He turned his head and gave "Li Jiuyuan" a wink, and was about to take a step forward and explain the whole incident to the god himself.However, as soon as he took a step, the next step was blocked in mid-air by the other party's words, so embarrassing that he couldn't even mention it or let it go.

"According to Lord Donghai, a few months ago, the Dragon Clan agreed to pay tribute to the Immortal Clan every year, including the Deep Sea Clan." The Silver Crown Venerable's eyes fixed on him, and he had clearly recognized the nine dragons. The true identity of the prince of the Zhelong clan, "The order to catch deep-sea aquariums for this birthday banquet was indeed issued by the Heavenly Palace. Therefore, the appearance of these aquariums near Penglai is not strictly speaking beyond the rules."

Dong Haijun was summoned by Lin An, and when he heard this, he immediately said yes.

Being watched by such indifferent eyes that seem to know everything, Jiu Zhe, who is used to seeing strong winds and waves, feels like sitting on pins and needles, like getting into trouble when he was young, and being called to reprimand by his father, he was uneasy along the way, not knowing what would happen The torrential rain is coming.

He was afraid that the god would reveal his identity with a single word, and he was even more afraid that Fangzhou would know that he was the prince of the dragon clan who repeatedly rejected her and her father.

In fact, a few days ago, the muddy water of the deep-sea tribe had nothing to do with Jiuzhe.He just took the invitation from his father and took a step ahead on behalf of the Dragon Clan. He brought gifts from Yingzhou to Penglai to celebrate the birthday of the Immortal Emperor.On the way, he met Li Yuan and was entangled by him. He insisted on taking him into Penglai, saying that he wanted to see with his own eyes what the most grand event in the fairy world looked like.Jiu Zhe had always had nothing to do with this big devil, so he asked him to follow the usual alias "Li Jiuyuan" by his side.

In fact, Jiu Zhe was very clear about what Li Yuan was thinking. Compared with the first grand event in the fairy world, he definitely wanted to see with his own eyes what the God Venerable Lin'an in Ziwei Heaven looked like.

Ever since the deity handed over the power of governing the world and retired to the Hall of Taishi, he has not cared about world affairs for many years.At that time Li Yuan had just been born not long ago, when he grew up enough to understand the ancient history, and when he was able to go out of the demon world alone, the deity had already retired and hardly showed up outside the Jiuchongtian.Therefore, although Li Yuan highly respects the godly concept of governing the world, he has never seen this legendary ancient god with his own eyes.

The gathering of the Eight Immortals at this birthday banquet must be unprecedentedly grand, and if the gods are willing to show the emperor face, they will definitely attend.Li Yuan always joins in where there is excitement, and creates excitement if there is no excitement, so how can he miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

But not long after they left Yingzhou, they encountered a strange thing on the way.

It was above the East China Sea, Li Yuan's eyes were sharp, and he could see several earth immortals pestering a beautiful shark girl at a glance.Jiu Zhe saw that the shark girl's back was a bit familiar, but after seeing her face clearly, she realized that it was Fangzhou, the daughter of the chief of the shark clan.

That girl's face, even among the merman race known for their beauty, was stunning.So even though Jiu Zhe had only seen her a few times from a distance, that pretty image seemed to be branded in his heart, and he would never forget it.

Not long ago, in order to transfer the rights of the Dragon Clan to capture the Deep Sea Clan to the Immortal Clan, the leader of the Merman Clan, Yu Jun, had brought his daughter to visit him three or four times in person, but the matter was settled and there was no room for negotiation.Jiu Zhe was unable to turn around, and didn't want to see the other party disappointed, so he could only lie that he was not in the palace and avoid seeing him.

But now that Lord Shark's daughter is in trouble, he must not stand by and watch.

Almost in an instant, Jiu Zhe made up his mind to save people.He was about to call Li Yuan together, but found that the other party was staring unblinkingly at the shark girl entangled with the immortals, seemed interested, but had no intention of moving at all, and hurriedly whispered: "What's so interesting?" ? Come on, follow me to save the girl."

Li Yuan shook his head, and said something in his words: "Why does she need you to save her?"

Jiu Zhe didn't know yet, so Li Yuan suddenly raised his voice and asked, "Hey, what are you doing?"

Several earth immortals over there turned around, waved their hands at him and shouted coldly: "Don't care about your business, get out of here."

"It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin." Li Yuan folded his arms, seeming to be amused: "However, I still want to remind you that what the immortals want to catch is not a mermaid, but a beautiful snake. Have you noticed her back?"

Jiu Zhe noticed that almost at the same time Li Yuan uttered the last sentence, Fangzhou's originally delicate and pitiful face showed a look of panic, with seven points of determination.Seeing that the matter was exposed, she immediately transformed into a pair of swords from her back, stabbed at the earth immortals around her, and said coldly: "It is the immortals who have cornered the deep-sea aquarium, and I will kill you today, for the sake of my people." revenge!"

The shark girl seemed weak, but she was determined not to lose to the man. In the blink of an eye, she split one of the earth immortals in half.The rest of the immortals immediately reacted, sacrificed their magical weapons one after another, and rushed forward to chop Fangzhou under the chaotic sword.How could Jiuzhe just sit idly by, and immediately flew into the battle situation, and when it swept down, it brought up thousands of feet of waves, and with a slight shock, several earth immortals were shaken several feet away.And those Earth Immortals are also bullying and afraid of hard people, seeing that the comer seems not to be trifled with, they took advantage of the shock and turned around, and quickly disappeared.

Fangzhou was also shaken a long way by the head-on wave, soaked all over, but he was very stubborn.When the defeat was already decided, he still wanted to attack Jiu Zhe with his sword, but the opponent grabbed his wrist and scolded: "Nonsense! You are only single-handed, how can you be their opponent?"

"Let me go!" Fang Zhou tried desperately to break free from his hand, "If you hadn't come out to make trouble suddenly, how could I expose myself? It's okay now, they are gone, my efforts are in vain, and you still have to talk sarcastic here Damn it! Damn it!"

"You are a girl, why are you as ignorant as they are?" Li Yuan walked over slowly, very displeased.But after thinking about it, I suddenly felt that this matter is very interesting, and it can pass the boring journey, so I changed my tone and tried to persuade: "Of course he is hateful, but he is still a bit capable. If you are willing to talk about your difficulties Let’s talk about it, maybe we can use the merits of the crime to help you.”

Jiu Zhe turned his head and glared at him, signaling Li Yuan to curb his habit of finding trouble for nothing, but the latter pretended not to see it, and still stared at Fang Zhou: "Listen to what you just said about the deep-sea aquarium, and that they are your people. Could it be that you are the princess of the shark clan?"

"So what?" Fangzhou finally calmed down.She glanced at Jiuzhe, then gently pulled her hand back, and said angrily, "Let go, I'll put the sword away."

Seeing that she had indeed let go of her strength, Jiu Zhe let go of her hand, and saw a thick red mark on the opponent's wrist, which was burnt on Shengxue's skin, which was very obvious. .

In fact, Fangzhou should not tell outsiders about the affairs of the clan. Unfortunately, the clan was hunted and killed, and she traveled with her father to many places, but there was nowhere to ask for help. There was nowhere to say what was in her heart.Now that she has not succeeded in her mission, she is very discouraged. She deeply feels that she can't rescue the tribe by herself, and finally someone is willing to listen, so she gives up on herself and tells the whole story.

Jiu Zhe originally thought that Fangzhou was captured by the fairy clan to be close to her, so she ventured out to sea and insisted on rescuing them, but unexpectedly, the more she heard, the more frightened she became.He knew that his father, under pressure, had extended the scope of allowing the immortals to capture the aquatic tribes to the deep sea, but the number of permits was limited, and it was absolutely forbidden for the royal clans among the various aquatic tribes.

Unexpectedly, under the banner of the heavenly court, there are immortals below, wantonly capturing deep-sea aquariums, more than ten times the number permitted in advance.Many deep-sea aquariums were taken away by the Heavenly Court and kept somewhere for selection by the various caves in the Heavenly Palace to make dishes or rare and precious items.There are even some unscrupulous heavenly officials who bought beautiful sharks and went back to serve as singing and dancing slaves, serving tea to welcome guests, just to show the power and status of their own family.

What is even more detestable is that Mr. Donghai knew it, but he did not report it, and even shut Mr. Yu out of the door.Fangzhou can almost conclude that he is in the same group as those unscrupulous heavenly officials.

"The Immortal Clan is the chief culprit, and the Dragon Clan is even more accomplices. Unfortunately, we are too weak to fight against them." Fangzhou lowered his eyes to hide the hatred in them, "I thought that the Immortal Emperor is the king of heaven after all, so I won't be able to fight against them." To do such unfaithful things. But without his acquiescence, how dare the following immortal officials be so rampant? I never expected that the immortal clan has become such a mess! I don’t know if you two are immortal clan, but Even if it is, I still say this correctly. If you want to catch me and invite Lord Donghai for a reward, just go ahead and catch me, I'm not afraid!"

After hearing this, Jiu Zhe was silent, knowing that the other party obviously didn't recognize him as the prince of the dragon clan whom she called "accomplice", but now is not a good time to introduce himself, so he said: "I am not from the fairy clan with him, but I just happen to have something to go to Penglai That's all. The Immortal Emperor may not know about this matter, I'm afraid there is something else wrong, have you found out about the current whereabouts of those water tribes?"

"I found out that those aquariums dedicated to birthday banquets were imprisoned in a market town near Penglai. , but there is no clue yet. But most of the rest, such as mussels that need to be dissected to extract pearls, and turtles that need to be shelled for medicine, are all locked in the Galaxy of Stars."

Jiu Zhe was a little surprised: "Tianhe Xinghai? Isn't that in charge of Bihai Xingjun?"

Fang Zhou raised his eyes and said bitterly: "It's Lord Bi Hai Xing. I heard that they plan to catch some mermen and send them to Penglai to sing for the immortal emperor at this birthday banquet. I want to pretend to be weak and let them take me away. Dedicated to the Immortal Emperor. In this way, while presenting the song, their crimes can be exposed in front of the Immortal Emperor and all the immortals in the Heavenly Court. It is a pity that the first step...failed."

When Li Yuan heard that the "plan" was so simple and rude, he was immediately happy: "Your heart is kind, but the method is a little stupid. Even if they succeed in being captured by them, with your triangular cat cultivation base, you can survive Yourself? Look at your own appearance, it would be strange if you don’t provoke those sanctimonious immortals to change their minds. Don’t let the clansmen fail to save you, but put yourself in instead.”

Fangzhou gave him a hard look, but had to admit that Li Yuan was right.She lowered her head, folded her arms and sat on the black rock protruding from the sea, shaking her tail dejectedly: "There are only three days left before the birthday party, I really don't know what better way to do it. I admit that the plan is not enough Careful, but... but if I want to watch the clansmen being skinned and cramped, and cooked to death, but stand idly by, forgive me."

While she was talking, she accidentally turned her eyes away, but suddenly noticed that the face of the man in yellow beside her was getting worse and worse, as if she was angry.

In fact, Jiuzhe was more than angry, he was burning with anger.Giving up the right to fish was already a helpless move by the dragon clan, the overlord of the water, after weighing the pros and cons.After all, compared to depriving the title of the king and surrendering to the immortal clan, this is the least lossy gesture of goodwill.But if Jiu Zhe knew at that time that once the opening was opened to allow the immortals to go deep into the inner sea, the immortal officials in the heavenly court would use this matter to enrich their own pockets and hunt and kill the deep sea tribes. He would definitely try his best to persuade his father not to agree.

But it's too late to say these things now, the most urgent thing is to help Fangzhou rescue those innocent aquariums who have fallen into the hands of the immortals.

"By the way, I haven't asked you two's surnames yet," Xu said in order to change the topic, and the shark girl introduced herself generously, "My name is Fangzhou, and I'm the daughter of the shark patriarch."

"Under Li Jiuyuan." Li Yuan said, "As for him..."

Jiu Zhe came back to his senses, and hurriedly said, "I'm Xia Zheli."

"He is the ninth eldest at home, you can just call him the ninth son." Li Yuan had no intention of exposing his lies, and continued to say to Fang Zhou: "Although we met by chance, my friend is a warm-hearted friend, but whenever there is an injustice, he must draw his sword to help. Don't be polite to us. Now that you know where they are locked up, the matter of rescuing your people from the Milky Way Star Sea is on me and the ninth son. As for the ones that were sent to Penglai, you need to find out where they are , it’s easy to handle, just follow your original plan.”

"Thank you two sons." Fang Zhou refused, "It's just that this matter involves a lot. I have made a desperate trip and have made up my mind to report this matter to the Immortal Emperor. Even if I die in Penglai, I will not hesitate. But my life is at stake. Guan, I cannot implicate you two to accompany me on this adventure."

"It's this time, and you're still talking nonsense. Your Highness, do you still want to save your people?" Li Yuan hooked his hands, as if he had thought of a good idea, "Come here, I will tell you about this in detail. You listen."

In fact, Li Yuan's plan was not complicated, it was nothing more than dividing the troops into two groups.He and Jiu Zhe immediately set off for Xinghai, Jiu Zhe sneaked into the depths of the Tianhe River and broke open all the cages where the Shui people were held, while he himself broke the Tianhe Sluice Gate when the defense was lax.In this way, those aquariums that escaped from the cage will flow down with the out-of-control river water. He and Jiu Zhe went downstream to meet them before the guards reacted, and then sent them back to the sea with the help of magic tools.

On Fangzhou's side, she pretended to slip into a fishing net, and by observing where the Earth Immortal would take her, she found the place where the clansmen were detained, and left marks along the way so that Li Yuan and Jiu Zhe could come to meet up.In order to prevent accidents, Li Yuan also gave her the special Hundred Poison Piercing Powder made by the Demon Race, which can kill people invisible even if she has limited mobility.

This plan sounds simple, but in practice it is fraught with obstacles.They made many preparations, and the process went smoothly, but they didn't expect that victory was in front of them, but they fell short.

At this moment, Jiu Zhe looked at the Venerable Silver Crown who existed as the variable existence in the arena, and felt mixed feelings in his heart, including both gratitude and deep resentment.

Fortunately, the other party clearly recognized him as Jiu Zhe, the prince of the Dragon Clan, but he didn't point it out; what annoyed was that those Shui Clans were about to return to freedom, but they were captured again, and they were doomed to escape the fate of being mermaids.

Jiu Zhe had familiarized himself with the ancient history and carefully studied every battle Lin An participated in, so he was too aware of the amazing combat power of the God Venerable. Compared with him, he was like a low-lying valley and the top of a high mountain.So even if he and Li Yuan were added together, it would be impossible to compete with the god, let alone save those water tribes from his hands.

Now that things have happened, Jiu Zhe no longer dares to look back at Fangzhou's expression.This matter has gone through many twists and turns, and this time there is almost hope, but until now, it has really come to the end of the mountain.

But Li Yuan obviously didn't think so.

"What kind of tribute? That's just a good excuse for the immortal clan to bully others and put pressure on the dragon clan because of their insatiable greed."

It was too late for Jiu Zhe to stop him, so he saw that handsome young man took a step forward, looked straight at Lin An without fear, and gradually transformed into a huge magic knife in his hand: "I cut the Tianzha, tens of thousands of people in Tianhe I let the Shui tribe go, if Heavenly Court wants to arrest people for questioning, just come at me! However, Li has never killed an unknown soul with his sword, who is your name in Heavenly Court, I hope you can teach me and report your name!"
