Chapter 589 - Deep Sea
"We're about to reach the Deep Sea." One of the elders notified Jin Rou. He was showing great respect for Jin Rou. After all, although he appeared young, he was already a apex master that they could only look up on.
Jin Rou was informed about the Deep Sea a while ago. It was the current hideout where the Clan of Mermaids was located. It was very hidden that even experts would have a hard time searching for it despite knowing the location.
It was also one of the sacred grounds that not just anyone could step foot on.
"Rumble!" Afterwards, the sea created a whirlpool that could devastate any powers. It sucked the large ship and went down to the deepest part of the Deep Sea. Only the core members of the clan had the ability to call for the whirlpool, and it was a major necessity in order to enter the clan's hideout.
Jin Rou observed the diving of the ship. Although they were under water, they had no difficulty breathing because of the elders giving support. Well, it's not like they would drown here with Jin Rou's protection.
After a dive that lasted for ten minutes, they finally reached a door made of heavy metal. The twin doors were tightly locked as if it wouldn't budge even the end of the world came.
"Creak." After a while, the large heavy door opened slowly. It was giving an uncomfortable sound with its creak.
Next, a group of mermaids, who had a body of a human and a tail of a fish, welcomed the three elders who were now waiting by the ship's front.
"Elders, welcome back." The mermaid man in front bowed in respect towards the three elders, "The Poseidon has a matter to discuss with you. So we are tasked to wait for you here."
Jin Rou observed the the mermaids from a distance. Indeed, they were exceptionals and talented. If given time, they could surpass the elders in front of them.
"The Poseidon wants to meet us?" The three elders almost lost their souls when they heard this. They planned on delaying the enemy and think of a way of to get rid of Jin Rou. However, with the Poseidon's urgent call, it would be useless.
"Yes, something urgent has required you three elders to meet him right away." The mermaid man smiled, explaining the things, "Although I don't know what's the specific reason, it is really something important judging by the Poseidon's tone."
"Alright, we will go right away. But please receive our esteemed guests boarding the ship." An elder said and warned, "Young Master Fliv is with them, so you better not offend the guests."
The guard was shocked to hear this and looked over to see the guests. They were all humans with a demon! How did the young master get acquainted with such people for a short time?
"Let us come with you, instead." Jin Rou stepped down the ship and chuckled, "I want to see this Poseidon of yours."
"Watch your words." The mermaid man's eyes turned sharp and said coldly, "The Poseidon isn't someone you can just call by easily. Not because you are guests here means that you can play your smarts in our territory."
"Xuwo, that's enough." One of the elders didn't want a fight to happen here so he immediately saved the mermaid man who wasn't aware of Jin Rou's capabilities, "Okay, I will take you three to the Poseidon. He needs to meet you one way or another, anyway."
Jin Rou chuckled after hearing this. The elders were quite cunning. They could even make their patience hold on for a bit longer.
"Elder, this..." Xuwo was speechless. The elder gave in just like that? Who was this Jin Rou person?
"No buts. You cannot change my mind." Even the elder didn't want this. However, what could he do? Their young master's life is being held hostage by Jin Rou.

Inside the palace hall where the great Poseidon was sitting, there was a blue-scaled man with a very handsome features. He looked middle-aged, yet he looked younger than most people. With his blue colored hair and eyes, he could easily breach through any secrets of the world.
"Elder Marl, it looks like you bring quite a few visitors here with you." The bluehaired middle-aged man looked at Jin Rou with deep eyes. Then, he smiled, "Furthermore, it looks like you let in a tiger in our territory."
Then he looked over to Louise who was standing by the side and added, "With the Mortal Disaster Palace's princess in tow. Elders, it seems that you all have failed your mission."
"Your Majesty, we're very sorry. The Wildscale Tribe declined our offer and we even nearly broke into a fight.
"Nearly broke into a fight?" The Poseidon laughed softly. However, his voice was cold like an ice frozen for millions of years, "I bet you even didn't dare to, knowing the enemy is stronger than you two."
The three elders were speechless. Indeed, although there was more reason, what the Poseidon told them was one of the main reasons.
"So you are the one called Poseidon?" Jin Rou stepped up. The talk between the elders and the leader was making Jin Rou bored.
The man in the throne smiled and answered, "Indeed, I am Poseidon. Poseidon Lothian, to be precise."
"Alright, since I'm already here, might as well tell you now why I'm here." Jin Rou smirked, "I heard you have a girl which could transform into a treasure."
"Oh? Are you perhaps an acquaintance of that little girl?" Lothian smiled, his interest was piqued.
"Indeed. So I want you to release here. And in return, I will return this lad too." Jin Rou then grabbed Fliv from his space and put him down, "How about it?"
Lothian's smile turned cold as he looked at the abducted son of his. His eyes were like a knife that stabbed Young Master Fliv many times, "Fascinating. Not only did you fail to get the item, you even became a bargaining chip for someone's life.. You're one hell of a disappointment, Fliv. Don't you?"
