Volume Three The Battle of the Sea Clan Chapter 381: The Old Man in the Mine
When Liu Ming withdrew his gaze and came to his senses, a look of solemnity appeared on his face.
Because he discovered that in addition to the guard leader from the late stage of condensation whom he had seen earlier and the other two guards who had previously held him, there was an old man with messy hair not far in front of him.
The old man had silver-white hair and was wearing a shabby gray robe. His face was covered with wrinkles, and his cheeks were scarred horizontally. He seemed cloudy and his eyes were slightly narrowed. He looked like an old man in his twilight years, but he exuded extremely powerful vitality.
The old man stood on the same spot, vaguely integrated with the surrounding environment, but Liu Ming's huge mental power was unable to sense the level of this old man's cultivation.
While Liu Ming was still looking at this person carefully, the leader of the guards at the late stage of condensation slowly walked up to the old man with a very respectful expression, bowed slightly, and whispered what he was saying.
The scar-faced old man's eyes suddenly opened, he raised his head and looked towards Liu Ming, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and then he nodded slightly, and the three guards hurriedly left the place with respectful expressions.
Just like that, only Liu Ming and the old man were left in the place.
‘I don’t know where you come from, and why Lord Poseidon personally called you by name. But now that you are here, your life and death are all in my hands. Do you understand this?”
The old man's voice was not loud, but it reached his ears as clearly as ever.
Liu Ming looked calm and didn't even blink.
Seeing this, the scar-faced old man let out a hey and did not get angry. Instead, he continued to say:
"There are only two rules for being a mining slave here. One is not to try to escape, otherwise as long as you catch him, he will be killed on the spot without any mercy. The other is that you must hand over a certain amount of ore every month in exchange for services.
The antidote for the Haihuang Pill that I drank for that month, otherwise I will die from the poison within three days."
When Liu Ming heard "Sea Emperor Pill Antidote", his expression moved slightly. Only then did he know the name of the black pill he had taken. According to what the old man said, the antidote he changed every month only had a suppressive effect.
It just works.
After the old man finished speaking, he saw Liu Ming's face looking thoughtful, and then asked again in a trembling voice: "Is there anything else you don't understand?"
Liu Ming's eyes flashed and he asked lightly:
"What if I can hand over more ore?"
Hearing this, the old man chuckled:
"If you can hand over a larger amount of ore, you can get some benefits from me. Even as a mine slave, you can live a very prosperous life down there. But before that, you have to find a way to survive the first one.
Let’s talk about it later.”
After the old man said this, he didn't wait for Liu Ming's thoughts. He stretched out his withered palm and took out a Dharma plate from his arms. It was silver in color, with restrained light, about the size of two palms, and densely engraved with talismans.
arts.
The old man slapped the Dharma plate with one hand, and suddenly began to mutter something in his mouth with a solemn face. At the same time, he held up the Dharma plate with his right hand and poured the magic power in his body into it.
The disk suddenly erupted into a dazzling silver light.
In the semicircular blue light curtain that enveloped the entrance of the huge cave, after a deafening roar, the surrounding surface began to shake. A shining silver light, rotating talisman array suddenly emerged from the blue light curtain.
.
"open!"
The old man shouted softly, raised his hand and fired a spell, flying towards the huge talisman array.
Circles of light silver ripples flashed around the periphery of the talisman array, and a crack opened in an instant.
Then the old man's two sleeves shook, and a majestic force surged out.
Liu Ming felt his body tremble, and was immediately pushed away into the gap in the talisman array by a huge force.
When his eyesight turned dark, his whole body continued to fall towards the darkness below.
…
At the same time, inside the underwater palace.
The Siren Emperor, who was wearing a white robe, stood with a gloomy expression and his hands behind his back, while Li Kun stood aside with a respectful expression.
"Are you serious about what you said back then?" The Siren Emperor asked calmly:
Li Kun seemed to have already known that the other party would ask such a question, and replied affirmatively without changing his expression: "It is indeed the case. The Canghai royal family accidentally obtained the outer shell that you shed many years ago, and now they are planning to cast some kind of heaven-defying curse.
The 'Seven Star Soul Seizing Technique' among the forbidden arts, I want to use it to assassinate your seven souls and six souls."
"Hey, it's a shame that old monsters like the Hai Clan can find this great method!" The young man in white robe sneered a few times after hearing the words 'Seven Star Soul Seizing Technique'.
Naturally, he has heard of this ancient forbidden technique.
It's just that the conditions required to cast this kind of magic are extremely demanding. Not only do you need to gather seven strong men in the fake elixir realm, but you also need something connected to the blood of the person being cast, plus countless rare materials to cast the spell.
Moreover, this kind of forbidden technique has been lost in the Canghai Domain for many years. Although I don’t know how the Canghai Royal Family obtained this technique and how prepared it is. But since it was said from Li Kun’s mouth, I guess it is not groundless...
After the Siren Emperor pondered for a while, he asked Li Kunxun sternly with a sneer on his face.
"Do you have anything else that you haven't told me about?"
After Li Kun felt his cold and piercing gaze, his heart trembled slightly and he quickly spoke again:
"As far as I know, the Canghai royal family is planning to suddenly use this method on the day of the decisive battle with Your Majesty, and then after weakening your strength, kill you on the spot. After all, Li doesn't know the direct lineage of the Canghai noble family, he only knows this
, I will never know more information.”
"Wait until the decisive battle, and then cast the spell to plot! It's a good idea on their part!" The Siren Emperor snorted, with a look of deep thought on his face.
After a moment of burning incense, Li Kun respectfully left the hall.
Looking at Li Kun's retreating figure, the Siren Emperor's eyes flashed coldly.
Qingqin didn't know when he appeared beside him, and asked carefully with a worried look on his face:
"Sir, if what this person says is true, how do you plan to respond?"
"Don't worry, I know it well. Is this heaven-defying forbidden technique so easy to arrange? Even if it is really arranged, I will naturally have the means to deal with it."
After hearing that the Siren Emperor didn't seem to care at all, Qingqin felt relieved.
"Lord Poseidon, we have been brought here!"
While Qing Qin was conversing with the Siren King, Red Carp's voice suddenly interrupted.
As soon as the voice fell, the Siren Emperor saw Chi Li, dressed in a red dress, slowly walking towards the center of the hall with Ye Tianmei.
Ye Tianmei has now put on a dress with blue water clouds and rust patterns. She has a slender figure and a pair of beautiful eyes, which are shining with crystal light, adding a bit of beauty, but her face still has a cold expression, as if she is repellent from thousands of miles away.
Look outside.
Seeing Ye Tianmei's arrival, the Siren Emperor suddenly lost his aura and suddenly turned into a smiling, gentle look. He waved his hand to signal the Qingqin two to avoid him.
"Lord Poseidon, my subordinates will retire first!"
When Qingqin saw this, he immediately understood and responded without any hesitation. When he saw the hesitant look on the face of the red carp beside him, he immediately winked at him and then pulled him away from the hall quietly.
Ye Tianmei stood three feet away from the Siren Emperor, looking at the young man in white robes in front of him expressionlessly, without speaking.
The Siren Emperor, on the other hand, looked at the delicate face of the stunning woman with admiration in his eyes.
"I wonder if you are still satisfied with the room specially arranged by this emperor for fairies these days?" After a while, the Siren Emperor broke the silence in the room and asked in an unusually soft voice.
When Ye Tianmei heard this, her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly inadvertently, but she did not answer the other party. Instead, she said straight to the point:
"There is no need to say these words. Why did you call me here?"
Hearing this, the Siren Emperor replied with a dumb smile:
"In this case, I will speak frankly. I wonder if the matter of the two monks and monks mentioned earlier has been considered?"
"This matter is easy to discuss. If you are willing to let my nephew go, I can consider this matter."
As soon as the Siren Emperor's voice fell, Ye Tianmei raised his eyebrows and replied without thinking.
"Fairy Ye's answer is too small for me. There is no need to say more about such conditions." The Siren Emperor had already expected it. After hearing this, his expression did not change, but he still refused.
"In this case, there is nothing to talk about." Ye Tianmei saw the Siren Emperor's answer, his expression was cold, and he turned around and walked out of the palace.
"Since you are so insistent, I may consider giving you a chance." Looking at Ye Tianmei's back as he was about to leave, the Siren Emperor suddenly said this after a cold look flashed in his eyes.
The Siren Emperor's voice was not loud, but it was very clear in Ye Tianmei's ears, causing him to pause and stop immediately as he was about to leave.
"what chance?"
Ye Tianmei did not look back, but faced the Siren Emperor with his back, but his voice was still as cold as ever.
"As long as you can advance to the middle stage of Crystal Transformation within ten years, I will let your nephew go. And during this period, I can promise that I will not do anything inappropriate to you." The Siren Emperor said in a voice.
Still calm, but staring at Ye Tianmei's back intently, but he didn't notice that his breathing and heartbeat could not help but speed up a bit.
Ye Tianmei frowned and did not immediately ask why. Instead, after a moment of silence, he asked: "I have entered the middle stage of crystallization as you said, so how can you guarantee that I will be released as promised?"
"Promise? If you really want that human junior to leave alive, you can only believe what I say. But as a true alchemy cultivator, how can I lie to you about this kind of thing!" The Sea Demon Emperor said with both eyes.
He squinted and chuckled.
When Ye Tianmei heard this, his body trembled slightly, and under the gaze of the Siren Emperor, he slowly walked out of the palace with an expressionless face.
Looking at Ye Tianmei's leaving figure, a strange and inexplicable expression suddenly appeared on the Siren Emperor's face.
After a while, he withdrew his gaze, and suddenly grabbed the void with one hand. Under the flickering light in his sleeve, there was a scroll with a faint silver light in his hand.
The Siren Emperor looked at the painting scroll in his hand, and with a shake of his arm, he slowly unfolded it like a waterfall, revealing the objects on the painting. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
