Chapter 2566 - 2566 Bei Xu is Targeted!
2566 Bei Xu is Targeted!
Lin Yuan summoned Dazzling Silver so she could use a stream of water to carry him along the rest of the journey.
Dazzling Silver was the mermaid Samsara Realm Dictator who Lin Yuan had picked out from the rest.
Recently, he had not paid attention to the water world. He could use this time to learn about the circ.u.mstances of the water world from Dazzling Silver.
Dazzling Silver manipulated a stream of water as she glanced across Lin Yuan’s face. She dared not look at him directly for fear he would think she had crossed a line and be put off by her.
Dazzling Silver felt slightly sad that Lin Yuan was not in his mermaid form. Otherwise, she would have the visual blessing of gazing at that stunningly beautiful shade of blue!
Lin Yuan did not notice that Dazzling Silver was constantly glancing at him. He would not think anything strange of it even if he did know.
“Dazzling Silver, how are things going in the water world? Is the merging of the Mermaid Forbidden Sea and Grace Sacred Hall going smoothly?”
Lin Yuan felt attached to the water world.
Grace Sacred Hall was connected to the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen, and the mermaid species was tied to his bloodline!
He hoped the merger would go smoothly and no unnecessary fighting would break out.
The water world was the only dimensional world that was under the control of two large factions.
Dazzling Silver hurriedly composed herself and began earnestly speaking. “Lord Lin Yuan, as per your previous instructions, all the lifeforms in the water world that are Dictator level and above have gathered at the entrance of the dimensional rift.
“They have all been blessed and are being taken care of by the treasure conch. Thus, despite the millennia of enmity between the Mermaid Forbidden Sea and Grace Sacred Hall, the top experts from the two factions can interact peacefully.
“But it goes without saying that this is also because in the thousands of years after the two rulers’ disappearance, Extreme Ocean, Ink Ocean, Frozen Ocean, and Ancient Ocean did not declare war against us.”
Lin Yuan nodded. He knew what Dazzling Silver meant.
When the Grace Sacred Hall’s two rulers were still around, they often fought with the mermaids. But once the two rulers disappeared and the four royal attendants took over, they did not have the courage to fight against the mermaids.
The four royal attendants only avoided a clash with the mermaids because they were trying to protect their own profits.
The mermaids did not lay a hand on the Grace Sacred Hall despite knowing that the two rulers might have disappeared. This was because, in a bid to gain the New Thearch’s Scale to become the first mermaid thearch, Brilliant Gold had led the other mermaids into the Deep Chasm Sea Eye and caused all of them to end up with serious injuries.
Otherwise, the two factions would never have been able to remain peaceful for the past thousands of years.
The Tide Herb Treasure Conch had taken control of almost all of the water world’s Dictators. The only clashes in the water world would come from between the Apostles.
Just as Lin Yuan was about to continue speaking with Dazzling Silver, he finally received a message from Bei Xu through the Thoughts Letter Paper.
[Bei Xu]: Leo, while trading with a member of the city’s elite, I intentionally got him drunk. He has supposedly been to the surface, so I pried for information. He told me there is a grayish sea on the surface called the Barren Sea. I am not sure if it is the same one you spoke of.
Bei Xu was very nervous when he sent his message to Lin Yuan. But at the same time, he felt inexplicable happiness.
He did not think that such a coincidence could exist. There was no way that the two seas only happened to have the same name.
There was a high possibility he was finally going to meet with Lin Yuan!
Lin Yuan’s heart skipped a beat when he saw the message from Bei Xu.
According to the records, the Barren Sea was indeed covered in gray light that came from a special toxin that did not even allow for the survival of fungi. As a result, there were no small fish in the Barren Sea. All that lived there were giant beasts that had the endurance to travel long distances and pa.s.s through the Barren Sea.
Lin Yuan felt that Bei Xu had been rather impulsive. He had run into the city and tried to pry information from a member of the elite without making any prior preparations! Lin Yuan was terrified that Bei Xu would be in danger.
[Lin Yuan]: Bei Xu, I will hold another Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting two days later. At that time, I will send something to you. Find an empty s.p.a.ce and bury this in the ground. Once you do that, I will appear in front of you. Over the next two days, leave the city as soon as possible and protect yourself. It’s possible that the member of the elite was trying to investigate you while you were trying to glean information from him.
When Lin Yuan accepted Bei Xu into the Astronomical Parliament, he had gained a basic understanding of the Grotto Continent from Bei Xu’s memories.
Out of all the continents that Lin Yuan had been to, the Grotto Continent was the one that had the least regard for human life. Dirty tricks and oppression were commonplace there.
Bei Xu’s chest tightened when he saw the message from Lin Yuan.
He had been trying to gain information from all over so that he could gain the chance to meet with Lin Yuan. He had even disregarded his safety and entered the city.
If there was really someone who had unsavory intentions for the outsider that he was, it was likely he would be helpless to fight back!
Bei Xu hurriedly prepared to take his people with him out of the elite’s residence so they could flee from the city. Once they were out of the city, he would have room to escape, even if someone tried to target him.
Bei Xu and his four subordinates made preparations to leave.
An elite bigshot had the corresponding manner and style. He even had a butler serving him.
Bei Xu had been under the impression he would meet some opposition when he told the butler he wanted to leave. But, to his surprise, the butler opened the doors to let him out.
This caused Bei Xu to relax. He had no idea that the bigshot elite he thought he had gotten drunk was currently standing in a pitch-dark room.
As he stared out of the window and watched Bei Xu leave, his lips curled into an enigmatic smile.
“You actually tried to pry information about the surface from me! How does someone who has never even been to the city center before know that there is a sea on the surface? I have to find out what secrets you’re hiding! There’s not much point in catching a rat. I’ll be able to gain the most if I allow the rat to scurry back into his hole and ambush him later!”
While he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and the butler who had opened the door for Bei Xu walked in. The figure shrouded in darkness asked the butler, “Have you sent someone to follow them? I don’t want my prey to escape!”
The butler bowed and said, “My Lord, don’t worry. How can I allow a prey that you have your eye on to escape?”
