Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 590C – The Divine Stone Falling Into the Sea Mausoleum

Leon reiterated the current situation of the sea race capital city. As Qin Yu thought, it was related to the divine stone that fell from the skies.

Several days ago, a meteor appeared from the heavens and crashed into the sea region. Normally this should be an ordinary event; it was something that happened many times every year.

But this meteor was clearly not ordinary. Its brilliance was like a sun beneath the sea, emitting an inconceivably strong aura.

The royal palace tried to investigate the meteor, but they weren’t able to approach at all. By that time, other seafolk had come, demanding the fallen meteor.

“That meteor fell into the deepest parts of the Sea Mausoleum. The extremely high ranking seniors of the seafolk are buried there. Now, only those with a close bloodline relation can enter. With the pressure exerted on them, they have no other choice. The only ones in the royal family currently capable of satisfying the bloodline conditions to enter the Sea Mausoleum are His Majesty and Miss Yueyue. His Majesty’s wellbeing concerns the safety of the seafolk, so those people don’t dare to act too unreasonably. All they can do is project their thoughts onto Miss Yueyue…”

Before Qin Yu entered the capital city, the several massive sh.i.p.s he saw were the battlesh.i.p.s of the foreign seafolk.

Thinking about the several tyrannical auras he sensed, Qin Yu was a bit speechless.

According to what Leon said, the royal family was the direct bloodline of the seafolk and yet it had been mixed up so miserably. This wasn’t something that could even be called a branch division.

But now, this wasn’t the time to care about such matters. Since this matter involved Sang Yueyue, he couldn’t stand by anymore.

That little girl had helped him out many times in the past. Moreover, she had been looking after Leon for all these years.

Qin Yu sighed, feeling a bit helpless. It seemed he would have to abandon his thoughts of staying out of trouble from before.

He stood up and said, “Go, let us see Sang Yueyue.”

Leon revealed a hesitant look. “Teacher, although these people are only branches of the royal bloodline, their ancestors obtained a great good fortune. Right now on the warsh.i.p.s in the capital city, there are several people with incomparably terrifying strengths…” He seemed to recall something and paled in response.

Qin Yu had a light expression. “Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”

Those several people were indeed strong. One of them even touched upon the Calamity Immortal realm. But in front of him, they weren’t anything at all.

Leon was overjoyed. He knew that his teacher was always methodical in his actions and decisions. Since he said this, there was no need to worry.

“Miss Yueyue is currently in the royal palace. Teacher, please come with me.”

They walked out from the hall. Leon called for a carriage. Once Qin Yu made some arrangements for Little Sea and her daughter, a carriage stopped at the front entrance.

Leon glanced at Qin Yu. Seeing that Qin Yu didn’t stop him, he respectfully said in full public view, “Teacher, please board the carriage.”

Since Qin Yu was going to help Sang Yueyue, there was no way to hide himself anymore.

Qin Yu mounted the carriage. Leon personally drove the carriage away.

Several seafolk near the entrance couldn’t help but drop their jaws, shock on their faces.

That was the mansion lord’s teacher…could it be that person…everyone regained their composure and their faces flushed red. Their hearts filled with memories of a legend…

A team of black riders accompanied the carriage on both sides. Even though they were usually calm, they couldn’t help but glance at the carriage every so often.

It was just that this person’s fame was too loud in the hearts of the seafolk. Even though dozens of years had passed, this wasn’t enough time to erase the traces he left in their hearts.

However, these black riders weren’t common people. They knew even more and they soon calmed down.

Yes, this person was incomparably formidable. Even the Whale Sovereign of the past had died beneath his hands.

But today, the evil guests in the royal palace possessed strengths far surpassing the Whale Sovereign…did he really think he could interfere? The current sea race capital city was no longer the same as it was in the past!

Soon, the royal palace came in sight.

The ones guarding the front gates of the royal palace were well-equipped and calm wolf riders. As they saw the commander arrive they knelt down together.

Leon dismounted from the carriage. He asked, “What is the situation in the palace?”

A wolf rider bowed, “Reporting to commander, there is a banquet underway in the palace right now. The royal branch divisions are invited.”

Leon’s complexion changed. “Open the palace gates!”

He leapt back up on the carriage. With a flick of his whip, the carriage shot forward like an arrow, breaking right into the palace.

These bastards, they really weren’t willing to wait. Leon didn’t dare to delay any longer.

For the carriage to wildly dash through the royal palace was already a great crime of disrespect. If these were ordinary days, that sharp-nosed Soupman would have rushed over and punished anyone insolent enough to commit such crimes.

But now, even though there were numerous servants and maids that looked his way with terror, no one stopped him.

“Faster! Faster!”

Leon cracked the whip. The carriage soon arrived outside the banquet hall.

A large number of black riders stood guard outside the hall. They were dark and gloomy, like a mass of black clouds.

Seeing the carriage wildly racing towards them, the black riders shouted out loud and raised their spears, slaughter energy shooting into the skies!

…

Within the hall, the Sea Sovereign sat atop a high throne. Below him to the left, there were several seafolk with cold and arrogant expressions.

Across from them were attending guests from the capital city, all of them great figures from Noble Court Avenue. They were powerful officials that stood at the peak of the capital city, but now they could only stiffly smile.

There was the sound of chaos from outside the hall. A seafolk on the left side laid down his wine glass and said, “What? Your Majesty wishes to attack us?”

With a cold sneer, a powerful cultivation fluctuation erupted. It instantly swept through the hall, covering everyone.

The Sea Sovereign’s fingers paled and the wine glass in his hands twisted. He coldly said, “What happened?”

Soon, a palace servant replied, “Your Majesty, the wolf rider leader Leon requests an audience.”

The Sea Sovereign furrowed his eyebrows. “Tell him that the palace is currently entertaining guests. Have him seek an audience another day.”

“Wait a moment!” The first person on the left slowly spoke up. He was a seafolk with scales between his eyebrows. “I’ve heard that this commander Leon only has his current status because of the care of Miss Sang Yueyue. Their relationship should be relatively close. Since Your Majesty is reluctant to help, how about inviting this commander Leon and asking for his assistance?”

His eyes were deep and profound. “Your Majesty, we have already delayed for a long time. You shouldn’t reject my proposition, right?”

Closely related bloodline? Humph! If it weren’t for the fact that they were afraid of a bloodline backlash and also because of the existence of other powerful seafolk branches, they would have long ago wrested away the capital city. This crowd of trash, what qualifications did they have to inherit the capital city left behind by their ancestors? All they had was a minor bit of inherited bloodline!

There was no respect in his heart. On the other hand, his words were filled with threat.

Pa –

The Sea Sovereign’s wine glass was smashed apart in his hands.

To the right of the Sea Sovereign, Mister Turtle’s complexion changed. He hurriedly said, “Xian Yugong is correct. Since Leon has come, let us ask him to invite Miss Sangyue.”

He looked at the Sea Sovereign, a pleasing look in his eyes. Although these seafolk branch families still had an ounce of dread in their hearts, if a commotion were stirred up things would spiral beyond control.

The Sea Sovereign was silent for several breaths of time. He slowly closed his eyes. Although his waist was still stiff and rigid, there was a dejected air about him.

Mister Turtle’s eyes were bitter. He naturally knew how prideful His Majesty was. To compromise for the general interest like this, it was more uncomfortable than killing him.

But in order to avoid catastrophe and maintain the bloodline inheritance of the seafolk’s direct descendants, His Majesty could only lower his noble head.

Mister Turtle took a deep breath and said, “Send out a message. Allow Leon to enter the hall.”

Xian Yugong and the other branch people leaned back. A flash of contentment showed in their eyes.

So what if they were closely related? Now, they could only do things according to their wishes!

There was the sound of footsteps. Two figures walked in, one after another. Leon bowed and said, “I greet His Majesty.”

The Sea Sovereign kept silent. Mister Turtle squeezed out a smile, “Leon, these royal relatives would like to see Miss Yueyue. How about you go and ask her?”

Leon’s complexion changed. But before he could say anything, there were even louder footsteps from the entrance. Someone shouted out, “No need. I am already here!”
