Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "Today is different from the past. When you meet us, your retribution will come."
The lake demon had just come out, and his eyes had been on Shui Ruoqing's side, just to see clearly who had ruined his good deeds. Seeing Shui Ruoqing, the lake demon was not afraid at all.
However, Lin Fan's words made the lake demon feel very uneasy.
He subconsciously took a few steps back, and then thought that this was his territory. He instantly gained some confidence and said, "Boy, keep your spiritual power!"
After saying this, the lake demon didn't hesitate at all, took out the Night Pearl, and used the spiritual power here to attack Lin Fan and Shui Ruoqing's direction.
"Oops, Lin Fan, be careful!" Shui Ruoqing recognized at a glance that this luminous pearl was the treasure of the Aquatic Tribe. Although he didn't know exactly why it became the magical weapon of the lake monster, it must not be underestimated.
Shui Ruoqing had also heard some rumors about the Shui Tribe's treasure, but now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he didn't dare to be careless.
Although Shui Ruoqing had strong spiritual power, she was no match for the lake demon. It was only because of Lin Fan's quick eyesight that he took her aside without suffering any harm.
It is conceivable that if Shui Ruoqing really has his own way this time and has to come to solve such a matter alone, his life will definitely be in danger.
"How are you?" Lin Fan asked.
Shui Ruoqing shook his head and said: "Lin Fan, I was too careless. I saw this portrait of Ye Mingzhu in Senior Brother Xuanmu's secret room."
"I only know that with this Aqua Tribe treasure, the master can see as many things as he has spiritual power, even all the scenes in the entire Three Realms may be presented here."
"More than that, the Luminous Pearl can be used as a magic weapon to summon thousands of troops from the water tribe. This is really not easy to deal with."
Shui Ruoqing is really worried. Let alone dealing with the lake monster, even leaving here unharmed may not be possible. So what should we do?
Lin Fan reacted very quickly and asked: "You mean, you learned about Ye Mingzhu from Xuan Mu?"
Shui Ruoqing did not dare to hesitate, nodded and said: "Yes, I am not so clear about the origin of this night pearl, and senior brother Xuanmu has never given any explanation."
"I just know that this Night Pearl is the most precious treasure of the Aquatic Tribe, but in so many years, the Night Pearl has never recognized its owner, and I don't know what the ability of this lake monster is, that it can do this?"
At this time, Lin Fan noticed that the lake demon's spiritual power contained a hint of ancient power. It was not like the power of an eternal chessboard, but more like the spiritual power of a scroll of heaven and earth.
Not only that, this kind of spiritual power cannot be cultivated by the lake demon, it is more like Xuan Mu's spiritual power.
If his guess was correct, then this lake demon must have met Xuan Mu decades ago, and all of this might have something to do with Xuan Mu.
Furthermore, the lake monster's spiritual power was not high, so there was no way to see where they came from. That's why they were found here, and the lake monster had no defense.
In other words, the lake demon claims to be the master of the Night Pearl, but he does not have such strength at all.
Thinking of this, Lin Fan knew what was going on and said, "Shui Ruoqing, just wait for me here. I know how to deal with this lake monster."
After saying this, Lin Fan had no time to explain, took out the scroll of heaven and earth, and exerted his spiritual power. For a moment, the power of this night pearl seemed to be truly released, and unprecedented spiritual power appeared.
At the same time, the lake demon simply did not have that much spiritual power to continue to control it. As a last resort, it could only fly towards the direction of the heaven and earth scroll with the night pearl.
The lake demon's eyes widened in disbelief and said: "This is absolutely impossible. I have never heard that the ancient treasure has an owner."
"Even the previous guardian has perished. How can this scroll of heaven and earth be reappeared in the world?"
The lake demon has some knowledge and naturally knows what this means.
Shui Ruoqing was shocked and said, "What did you say? Have you met Senior Brother Xuanmu?"
The lake demon frowned deeply and said, "Yes, I did meet him and received his help. I have been hoping to repay him for so many years."
"It is precisely because of this that I hide in this place to practice. Decades ago, I accidentally obtained the Luminous Pearl. It was not because I had too much ambition."
"I just hope that one day I can meet the hero Xuan Mu and I can hand over this treasure of the water tribe to him. Only in this way can I fulfill my true wish."
Shui Ruoqing stepped forward and asked, "Why do you want us to believe what you say?"
The moment the lake demon saw the scroll of heaven and earth, he knew that he had lost. In desperation, he could only say: "I have nothing to explain."
"Succeed as a king or lose as a bandit. If you lose, you lose. I don't know what the people told you, but I have never done anything harmful to nature here."
"If you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it."
Lin Fan then said: "It's empty talk. You get married every five years here. This is also true. How dare you say that it's not harmful to nature?"
The lake demon gave a bitter smile and said: "Forget it, it's useless what I say. If you are willing to give me another chance, then come with me."
After saying this, the lake demon headed towards the bottom of the lake. Lin Fan and Shui Ruoqing did not hesitate at all, and followed him to the bottom of the lake. This place is truly magnificent, not inferior to any palace in the mortal world.
It's a bit strange to say that although this place is full of monsters, there is no evil spirit at all. This can only prove that the person in front of you is a monster, but it does not prove that he has harmed those innocent people.
When I opened the door of the secret room, I saw some young women sleeping here, looking very peaceful and without any pain.
The lake demon explained: "I got the Night Pearl in the hope of increasing some cultivation. I asked them to come, not really to be my concubines, but to make their time stop temporarily."
"This will help me increase my cultivation a lot. I don't know how long these people will sleep. Anyway, they will wake up one day."
"In order to make these people feel fair, I gave them a promise that I will definitely make this place rich and prosperous."
It was at this time that Lin Fan finally understood why Ye Mingzhu was willing to help this lake monster, and that he had indeed done some good things for the people here.
However, the lake monster is just a monster after all, and what he thinks is fair is not the same for others.
