The Supreme Elder did not reach out to take the Qiankun Fan in Xiao Yu's hand, but just waved his hand.
Then the other party winked at Lord Turtle, and the other party immediately patted Xiao Yu understandingly.
"Xiao Yu, put it away.
Even if you don't need this thing now, you can still give it to other people who trust it.
If I give it back to him, wouldn't it be a slap in the old guy's face?"
After Lord Turtle finished speaking, he lowered his voice and said:
"I said, old guy, I haven't been to this cave of yours for more than 20 years, how can I watch the people wither away?
Could it be that most of the elders have already passed away, or have they gone to the deep sea to practice?"
Lord Turtle seems to know a lot about mermaids, but this is what Xiao Yu wants to ask.
"Oh, it's hard to say anything. Come with me."
The Supreme Elder made a gesture of invitation and then led the way. Several people flew high into the sky and arrived above the islands in the blink of an eye.
Looking down from the sky above the islands, there is a small lake on the middle island, and most of the lakes are filled with children.
Those children are not yet adults, and some of them seem to be still waiting for food.
But the strange thing is that from the bottom of the lake, many swimming fish swim out from time to time, and those swimming fish are the food of those children.
"What does this mean?"
Lord Turtle asked in confusion.
"Ten years ago, in the fight for the Sea Clan's cave, I, the mermaid, lost the largest cave and almost had no place to stay. You must also know about that turmoil!
Most of the strong men have fallen, and most of them can only practice cultivation.
The Dragon King saw that we were pitiful, so he gave us the control of this small cave.
But as a condition, we must hand over thirty mermaid women to them every hundred years to serve as their maids.
Moreover, fish cannot thrive in this cave, so we have no food.
The only place where there is food is the lake below.
This lake is connected to the fish pond on Long Island, and they drive fish into it every day for these little guys to eat."
The Supreme Elder looked sad. From the other party's words, Xiao Yu could feel that the other party's living space was in danger.
To put it nicely, they were rescued by Dragon Island, but to put it worse, they were actually pets kept in captivity.
"I didn't expect that the battle for the cave in the sea ten years ago would change your living conditions. I really didn't know about this.
But old man, why didn't you send me a message? Maybe I can help you."
The three people fell from the sky, and Lord Turtle said solemnly.
The strong do not need to eat, but those young children cannot survive without food.
Although the mermaids have some fighting ability, if they are allowed to leave the cave, they may be discovered by humans soon, and then there will be a disaster of annihilation.
Moreover, the sea area looks vast and boundless on the surface, but it is actually occupied by various demon kings. If mermaids appear, they may become food for others.
So they can't live outside and can only stay here.
Xiao Yu originally thought that the mermaids would be very strong, but he didn't want to find out now that they were living such a miserable life, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"It's useless. The ten major caves in the sea area are originally under the jurisdiction of Dragon Island, and the sea gods of all parties must also obey the orders of Dragon Island.
Don’t you understand that our cave has been taken away from us?
Even if I tell you, what can I do? If I go to land and return to Kunlun, the rivers, lakes and seas belong to the Dragon King.
Although you are a guardian, what ability do you have to make Kunlun take action?
A year ago, when the Dragon King invited the ten masters of the caves, I overheard that a holy immortal from Kunlun was approaching his thousand-year life span, and I was afraid that his time was running out.
The Dragon King has just broken through the second century of the Immortal Stage, and is very likely to break through to the Saint Realm, and they are the Ancient Rain Dragon King, will Kunlun offend them at this time?"
The mermaid elder whispered to Xiao Yu and the others.
The other party's words made Xiao Yu and the two of them feel a little moved in their hearts. If a holy immortal were to become a saint in Yangshi, the situation would probably be even more severe.
All parties do not invade each other because their strength is balanced and the Yangshi is stronger. If one of the saints falls, the consequences can be imagined.
The most terrifying thing is that every time a powerful person falls, it will bring about catastrophe in the world.
"I said Old Man, are you scared out of your wits?
We have no control over the affairs of saints and immortals, and we don’t need to speculate because they are too far away from us.
But now, the person next to me is a real immortal. Back then, you gave him the Qiankun Fan to marry him.
Now is the time to let him help you. His Xuantian Pavilion ancestor was able to save you back then, and he can do it now, what do you think?"
After hearing what the other party said, the mermaid elder immediately set his sights on Xiao Yu, as if he was very interested in the advantages and disadvantages of power.
Lord Turtle suddenly pushed Xiao Yu to the forefront, causing Xiao Yu's complexion to change drastically.
"Hey, Mr. Turtle, this matter has nothing to do with me. Don't mess with me."
Xiao Yu quickly excused himself, saying that he really didn't want to catch fleas on his head.
When I prayed for rain, a Dragon King came, but he didn't seem to be easy to talk to.
Bai Jiao and Bai Niangzi are still waiting for me to help them transform into dragons. If they offend Long Dao now, then there is really nothing they can do.
"If the Immortal can help me, the mermaid clan, get out of this predicament, the fish spirit will surely be rich in reward."
The mermaid elder looked at Xiao Yu with hope, as if he was afraid that the other party would not agree.
"Senior, first tell me how to help?
Is it to help you take back the cave, or to help you solve the food crisis?"
Xiao Yu did not refuse directly and asked immediately.
He really couldn't do the first thing, but the second thing was negotiable.
"I just ask that we stop sacrificing our clansmen so that our clansmen can have food!"
The other person's words left Xiao Yu speechless. Aren't these two things done at the same time?
If he had known this earlier, he really wouldn't have wanted to come here.
The Dragon King is in charge of the ten caves. How can he do it alone?
Moreover, the mermaid problem has been around for a long time. Even if they are all rescued, they can only hide in the caves, and the ten caves are still the territory of the Dragon King.
So I can't help with this matter, and I can't help. Once I offend Long Dao, I'm afraid I will really die.
"This matter is too important. Take your time. A hundred years is still a long time. There will always be a chance."
Unable to refuse, Xiao Yu could only comfort the other party first and give them some hope.
Although this mermaid elder's appearance is very domineering, it is just superficial. Compared with the immortals, he is still vulnerable. It is no wonder that the other party will listen to Lord Turtle and ask him to help.
Lord Turtle on the other side had a look of success, which made Xiao Yu a little depressed. The relationship between these two old guys had been agreed in advance, specifically to plot against him.
But I must go to Dragon Island. Not only interceding for the mermaid, Bai Jiao and the others are also very important.
Seeing that Xiao Yu didn't agree directly, the old mermaid couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
He also knew that this matter was somewhat embarrassing, so he could only refrain from talking about it for the time being.
In the afternoon, the Supreme Elder held a banquet for Xiao Yu and the two of them, but it looked extremely shabby. They were all fish, and many of them were caught from outside the cave.
At ten o'clock in the night, Xiao Yu and Master Gui said goodbye and left, and the two appeared on the stone platform again.
"Master Turtle, what do you mean?
I finally have two days of leisure, and you’re causing trouble for me again?”
Xiao Yu sat on the stone platform with an unhappy expression on his face.
