Chapter 1925: I Have A Bold Idea
??
Although the Wild Abyss was turbulent, nothing happened, but Han Fei still came to the Martial Emperor City as soon as possible.
With Han Fei’s current speed, it was too fast for him to come and go. As long as he wanted, he could cross the outer domain and the inner domain in a day.
In the Martial Emperor City, Han Fei went straight to the intelligence center, not caring that others would see him. He was here to buy intelligence.
In the inner room of the intelligence center.
Han Fei said, “I want to know about the turbulence in the Wild Abyss this time.”
Yan Meng smiled. “That’s easy. Three million ultra-quality spiritual stones.”
Han Fei threw out a level-five Dao Pattern Pill. “Is this enough?”
Yan Meng: “Yes!”
A fish skin map fell in front of Han Fei. Han Fei took a closer look and was relieved.
It mentioned that there were anomalies in the Wild Abyss, and Bei Luochen personally went there to try to project a projection over, but after half a month, he didn’t get anything.
In his fury, Bei Luochen attacked the Wild Abyss but was swallowed by the Yin-Yang Great Millstone. Seeing that it was useless, he waited outside the Wild Abyss.
Seeing this news, Han Fei was relieved. It was too naive for Bei Luochen to try to cast a projection over. Chun Huangdian had done this before, but only an Explorer-level projection could descend.
Han Fei didn’t know if Bei Luochen was stronger than Chun Huangdian, but it was impossible for him to shake the Yin-Yang World and the Water-Wood World with his projections.
No matter how weak the Yin-Yang World and the Water-Wood World were, there was more than one king now. How could they be afraid of this mere projection?
Han Fei wasn’t worried at all now.
After reading the information, Han Fei smiled and said, “Does the Martial Emperor City have any thoughts about the time when the Yin-Yang World reappears? If you do, how much is it?”
Yan Meng said, “This matter can’t be cla.s.sified as intelligence, its value can’t be calculated, and the Martial Emperor City can’t see through the Wild Abyss.”
Han Fei nodded slightly. It didn’t matter. Once he left the Wild Abyss, Han Fei knew nothing about the inside. He didn’t know what the cracks in the cage were like at all. He didn’t even dare to go in again. Otherwise, if he went in and out, it would affect the structure of the cage and cause the cage to break sooner, which would harm the Yin-Yang World and the Water-Wood World.
Leaving the intelligence center, Han Fei came to the tower and asked, “Is Senior Martial King here?”
Buzz!
A phantom appeared. It was the Martial King. His true body hadn’t appeared yet. Even Han Fei couldn’t see the king of the Martial Emperor City at any time. It was already a great honor for him to see this phantom.
The Martial King said leisurely, “Are you going to ask the Martial Emperor City to do the second thing for you?”
Han Fei said bluntly, “I want to know if the Martial Emperor City can protect Xia Xiaochan when she is transcending her tribulation.”
Xia Xiaochan had been in the Half-King realm for a long time and had stayed in his Origin Sea for more than 300 years. She cultivated and visualized day and night. Whether it was her physique, soul, or even combat power, they had all reached the limit of the Half-King realm.
Xia Xiaochan had broken through all the 42 trials of the Nine Palace World in a row. She could do it so easily because she had reached the limit of this realm. Now, Xia Xiaochan was in a similar situation as Han Fei used to be, and the energy in her body was too much.
Xia Xiaochan had told Han Fei earlier that she was ready.
However, Han Fei felt a little uneasy. It was not that he lacked resources, but that it was probably not easy for her to transcend the tribulation here, so he came to ask the Martial King.
Originally, the Martial Emperor City had promised to do three things for him. Now that one of them had been completed, there were only two left. Normally, the Martial Emperor City would definitely gladly accept it. After all, Xia Xiaochan was going to make a breakthrough in the territory of the Martial Emperor City. Who dared to cause trouble?
However, the Martial King pondered for a moment and said, “No.”
Han Fei couldn’t help but ask in surprise, “Why?”
The Martial King said indifferently, “Well, when you returned to the Martial Emperor City, Chun Huangdian said something to me. He said that one day you would definitely ask me to protect Princess Mingzhu to transcend the heavenly tribulation. However, the first eight tribulations are easy to transcend, but the ninth tribulation is difficult. This tribulation is an inner demon tribulation. To transcend this tribulation, two things have to be done. One is to destroy the Soul Sealing World, and the other is to revive her mother. The Soul Sealing World is secondary. You can destroy it in the future. However, her mother’s recovery has a lot to do with Princess Mingzhu. She has to do it.”
Han Fei couldn’t help frowning. “Do you mean that she has to return to the Merman Royal Family to transcend the tribulation?”
The Martial King said lightly, “Yes.”
Han Fei couldn’t help being silent. If these words came from someone else, he definitely wouldn’t believe it. But since they were from the Martial King, there was no reason not to believe it.
The Martial King added, “Besides, the Merman Royal Family has already failed once, which was the failed marriage between Princess Mingzhu’s mother and the one behind the Soul Sealing World. This time, Princess Mingzhu married you and almost became a traitor of the Merman Royal Family. Even if she wants to go back, she might not be able to go back now. After all, Chun Huangdian doesn’t have the final say in the Merman Royal Family.”
Han Fei couldn’t help but fall into deep thought. If that was the case, wouldn’t Xia Xiaochan have no hope of transcending the tribulation?
“Wait a minute ~”
Han Fei suddenly asked, “Why did Chun Huangdian tell you this?”
The Martial King said, “I don’t know. You have to ask him yourself. If you make this the second thing you want the Martial Emperor City to do for you, it’s almost the same as asking the Martial Emperor City to slaughter the Merman Royal Family, so this matter is impossible.”
Han Fei sighed slightly. “Thank you for your information, Senior.”
…
Han Fei didn’t expect this matter to be so complicated.
Half a day later.
In a non-route area, Han Fei sat cross-legged on the Avenger. Luo Xiaobai, Xia Xiaochan, Zhang Xuanyu, and Le Renkuang were all summoned by Han Fei.
Le Renkuang chuckled. “Are you going to give us extra lessons? Why don’t we call Senior Brother Dashuai and the others out too?”
Zhang Xuanyu seemed to find that something was wrong, not to mention Luo Xiaobai. There must be a reason for Han Fei to call them out alone.
Xia Xiaochan couldn’t help but ask, “Have you been to the Martial Emperor City?”
Han Fei nodded slightly. “Yes.”
Xia Xiaochan immediately frowned. “Why, they didn’t agree?”
Luo Xiaobai glanced at Xia Xiaochan and then at Han Fei. “What is it?”
Even Le Renkuang realized that something was wrong. He stopped grilling and looked at Han Fei.
Han Fei said, “The Martial King didn’t agree to protect you to transcend the tribulation… Girl, do you know what’s the connection between you and your mother?”
When Xia Xiaochan heard this, her face couldn’t help but sink. She had wanted to ask Han Fei to have the Martial Emperor City protect her to transcend her heavenly tribulation because her tribulation would definitely be accompanied by the Sky Cicada flapping its wings and chirping. At that time, not only would the Merman Royal Family know, but the people of the Soul Sealing World would also know. There were definitely many people who wanted to ruin her heavenly tribulation.
But now, the Martial King flatly refused. This was a big problem.
Last time, Han Fei wanted to return to the Yin-Yang World and attract so many strong masters, but the Martial Emperor City could solve it. And this time, she just wanted to transcend the heavenly tribulation, but the Martial Emperor City refused. It could be seen that this matter was bigger than she imagined.
“Tribulation?”
Luo Xiaobai was surprised. “Xiaochan, are you going to transcend the tribulation?”
Zhang Xuanyu asked solemnly, “Are you going to transcend the tribulation so soon?”
Le Renkuang asked, “Why is the Martial Emperor City unwilling to protect you?”
Xia Xiaochan said, “I have a feeling that Chun Huangdian wanted to keep me because of my mother. But she’s in a deep sleep and no one knows when she can wake up. If I can wake her up, Chun Huangdian should have told me, but he didn’t tell me anything before.”
Han Fei said, “I called you out this time because I have an immature and bold idea. I was wondering if we could discuss it.”
Hearing this, Le Renkuang immediately said, “If you even think it’s too immature, I’m afraid it must be quite dangerous. Otherwise, you would have done it long ago.”
Everyone nodded. After so many years, they knew each other well. According to Han Fei’s personality, if he could solve it, he would have done it long ago.
Luo Xiaobai said, “Tell me about it first.”
Han Fei hesitated for a moment and said, “Uncle Xuan told me about the situation in the Raging Sea, and Xiaobai, you’ve also a.n.a.lyzed it. I know that our current peak combat power is still a little weak. Even if we can barely gather a few Sky Opening Realm powerhouses, it will directly cause internal strife in the human race and give other races a chance. So… I’m thinking, can we cooperate with the Merman Royal Family?”
When Han Fei said the last sentence, Xia Xiaochan looked at Han Fei in shock. Zhang Xuanyu and Le Renkuang looked at each other and widened their eyes.
Only Luo Xiaobai was briefly stunned. Then she composed herself and said, “Let’s say we can cooperate. Tell me why first.”
Han Fei looked at Xia Xiaochan. “Girl, how many people are in the Sky Opening Realm in the Merman Royal Family?”
Xia Xiaochan thought for a moment. “As far as I know, there is only one on the surface. If what you said is true that Chun Huangdian is really a Sky Opener, then there are two.”
Han Fei pondered for a moment and said, “There are two sky openers as we know. Even if there are no hidden sky openers, with two sky openers, the Merman Royal Family is already an extremely terrifying force. Our ally, the Sword G.o.d of the Sword G.o.d Palace, is also in the Sky Opening realm. In this case, if we can join forces with the Merman Royal Family, at least we can protect the Yin-Yang World and the Water-Wood World, let Xiaochan transcend the tribulation, and resist Supreme Clearness and Infinity.”
Xia Xiaochan asked in surprise, “Why do you have such an idea?”
Luo Xiaobai thought for a moment and said, “If the Merman Royal Family agrees, can you persuade our allies to accept it?”
Han Fei shook his head. “I don’t know!”
Luo Xiaobai asked, “Why do you think the Merman Royal Family will ally with us? We don’t have a sky opener. The Sword G.o.d is a powerhouse of the Sword G.o.d World after all. Although we are allies, he doesn’t have to do so much for us.”
Zhang Xuanyu said, “If you do this, will you be despised by the human race?”
Le Renkuang nodded hard. “Why don’t we give it a second thought? Didn’t you say that we should wait for the Monarch Palace to open? What if we get great opportunities there?”
…
Han Fei had this idea because he wanted to help Xia Xiaochan transcend the tribulation successfully. Even the Martial King had refused his request, so it was probably not easy for Xia Xiaochan to transcend the tribulation. Did Xia Xiaochan have to return to the Merman Royal Family?
As the Martial King said, Xia Xiaochan had been taken away by him for so long. Even if she returned to the Merman Royal Family, she might not be treated well. In that case, why not temporarily ally with the Merman Royal Family?
Except that he was a little unwilling and couldn’t beat Chun Huangdian, everything else seemed to be beneficial to him.
The only problem was, why should the Merman Royal Family cooperate with him? He had too few trump cards. The only thing he could use was the power of the Vast Ocean Navigator to find a route.
Han Fei said, “No, if this method works, use it! I have to talk to Chun Huangdian.”
Xia Xiaochan was lost for words. “Are you crazy? You’ll start fighting as soon as you meet!”
Xia Xiaochan thought to herself, Chun Huangdian is already in the Sky Opening realm and you still want to talk to him? Do you want to be killed by him again?
Luo Xiaobai said, “Have you thought it through? If we really join forces, you will lose your reputation in the Raging Sea and even become a traitor!”
Han Fei chuckled. “Whether I’m a traitor or not, everyone will tell in the end. But this is an opportunity. I have to try. Otherwise, even if all of you on the Avenger become Half-Kings, so what? Even if half of you can become Kings after entering the Monarch Palace, so what? Our peak combat power is still not enough to resist Supreme Clearness and Infinity.”
Le Renkuang asked, “Do we have to resist them?”
Han Fei narrowed his eyes and said, “We are real enemies. I have a way to leave the Raging Sea, and Supreme Clearness and Infinity will try their best to get it. In addition, Supreme Clearness and Infinity had led other Heavenly Palaces to attack Yin Yang and Water Wood, so we are really mortal enemies!”
Zhang Xuanyu asked, “Since we can cooperate with the Merman Royal Family, is there a chance for us to cooperate with Supreme Clearness and Infinity?”
Han Fei shook his head. “Even if we reach an agreement, do you think we can be truly united?”
If it weren’t for the fact that Xia Xiaochan was the princess of the Merman Royal Family, he wouldn’t have cooperated with the Merman Royal Family because the two parties had no basis for cooperation.
However, Xia Xiaochan’s ident.i.ty and the unknown connection between Xia Xiaochan and her mother had set the foundation for cooperation.
Luo Xiaobai said, “Since you’ve already thought it through, just do it! Anyway, due to Supreme Clearness and Infinity, the Yin-Yang World is trapped in a cage. Tens of thousands of years of acc.u.mulated resentment can’t be resolved easily.”
Xia Xiaochan said, “Even if you want to talk to Chun Huangdian, you can’t go to the Merman Royal Family. Chun Huangdian is too temperamental and unpredictable.”
Han Fei said, “Am I that stupid?”
…
In the Martial Emperor City, the top ten pirate teams were stationed all year round.
In the Merman Pirates, Jiao Fengxian was floating in the water cultivating. Suddenly, someone said via voice transmission, “Captain, bad news. Han, Han, Han is outside…”
“Humph! What’s the big deal? Don’t you know that I’m cultivating? Who is outside?!”
The man quickly swallowed and said, “Captain, Han, Han Fei and the princess have come.”
“Huh?”
Jiao Fengxian was stunned. Why did Han Fei and the princess come to her?
Immediately, Jiao Fengxian’s figure flashed and appeared outside the cultivation field. As she scanned around with her perception, she saw that it was none other than the princess outside.
Outside, Xia Xiaochan and Han Fei said, “I spent some time with Auntie Fengxian, and we were on good terms. Don’t bully her later!”
Han Fei rolled his eyes and said, “Can I suppress her? She is a king anyway. How can she be afraid of my suppressing pressure?”
As they talked, a graceful figure in multiple layers of gauze appeared in front of them. Unlike Xia Xiaochan’s cute and fierce appearance, Jiao Fengxian was very charming.
Jiao Fengxian bowed slightly to Xia Xiaochan. “Greetings, Your Highness. I didn’t expect you to become a Half-King only after decades. Congratulations.”
Xia Xiaochan said, “Auntie Fengxian, we’re here to ask you to deliver a message to someone!”
Jiao Fengxian was briefly stunned. “Oh? Your Highness, you don’t have a good reputation in the clan now. Many Sea Establishers have a bad opinion of you, and even that one is very unhappy about you. You’d better ask me to deliver some valuable message. Otherwise, I’m afraid no one will listen to you.”
Han Fei said, “It’s simple! Just ask Chun Huangdian to come over for a chat.”
Jiao Fengxian glanced at Han Fei and couldn’t help but laugh. “Han Fei! Do you think you can meet Master Chun Huangdian as you want? Who do you think you are?”
Han Fei chuckled. “Believe me. This meeting is more important than you think. It will even affect your entire race.”
Jiao Fengxian chuckled. “Why should I believe you? Why don’t you convince me first?”
However, Han Fei shook his head slightly. “You are not qualified.”
For a moment, Han Fei and Jiao Fengxian’s auras collided, and everyone around felt the suppressing pressure. Even Xia Xiaochan felt her shoulders sink.
When Xia Xiaochan looked up, she saw that Han Fei and Jiao Fengxian were looking at each other as if they were about to see through the void. After dozens of seconds, Jiao Fengxian snorted and looked at Xia Xiaochan. “For the sake of the princess, I can deliver the message for you. Just wait!”
…
Seven days pa.s.sed.
In a courtyard in the Martial Emperor City, Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan were making dumplings.
Suddenly, a voice sounded leisurely, “I heard that you have something to tell me? I hope this trip is worth it.”
Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan both looked up, only to see Chun Huangdian standing on the roof.
Han Fei didn’t care at all. He continued to make dumplings, saying lazily, “I thought you were very hard to invite, but you still came!”
Chun Huangdian didn’t respond to Han Fei, but looked at Xia Xiaochan and said, “It seems that you’re about to transcend the tribulation? This is a little beyond my expectations. But it’s not too surprising. Are you going back to the Merman Royal Family, Your Highness?”
Xia Xiaochan remained silent with a dark face, and Han Fei chuckled. “She can go back, but not now and not in this way.”
Chun Huangdian smiled evilly. “I think you’re asking me to do you the favor, aren’t you?”
Han Fei rolled his eyes and said, “Of course not. Sooner or later, I’ll beat you up!”
Chun Huangdian shrugged slightly. “Since you’re not asking me to bring the princess back, why did you invite me here?”
Plop, Plop ~
Han Fei waved his hand and threw a pile of dumplings into the pot. Then, Han Fei extended his hand, and the Vast Ocean Navigator appeared in his hand. He said, “Do you recognize this thing?”
Chun Huangdian glanced at the Vast Ocean Navigator. Although he had a guess, he wasn’t sure. He said indifferently, “Continue.”
Han Fei said, “If my guess is correct, you people know why the Yin-Yang World entered the Wild Abyss. Since you know it, you should know what I’m holding. I’m not afraid to tell you that this is the way to leave the Raging Sea. Supreme Clearness, Infinity, your Merman Royal Family, the hundred demon clan, and the undersea human race, if any of the above know that I have this treasure, they will definitely try their best to s.n.a.t.c.h it.”
Chun Huangdian chuckled. “Do you think I’ll believe you?”
Han Fei said, “Let’s make a bet, OK?”
Chun Huangdian said, “Tell me about it.”
Han Fei said, “There are 36 Heavenly Palaces of the human race. There are respectively thirteen ones in the inner domain and outer domain. I think You know where the Yin-Yang World and the Water Wood World are, right? As for the remaining eight Heavenly Palaces, which are Mindless, Silver Moon, Beast King, Parting Grief, Flying Feather, Ten Color, White Cloud, and Ashless, do you think it’s possible for me to find them with this thing in my hand?”
Chun Huangdian: “That’s the business of your human race. What does it have to do with our Merman Royal Family?”
Han Fei said, “Stop pretending. Everyone wants this thing, including you Merman Royal Family.”
Chun Huangdian chuckled and said, “If you want to trade with this thing, I can let the princess transcend the tribulation safely and even send her back. The question is, are you willing to give it to me?”
Han Fei also smiled. “Of course not. So, I’m here to negotiate with you.”
Chun Huangdian smiled. “Tell me. What if I’m tempted?”
Han Fei said, “The Merman Royal Family forms an alliance with the Yin-Yang World to resist Supreme Clearness and Infinity together, and I can take you out of the Raging Sea. After that, we’ll go our separate ways. Of course, you’ll have to help Xiaochan transcend the tribulation.”
Chun Huangdian looked at Han Fei as if looking at a fool. “Nice try, but why should we block the Supreme Clearness and Infinity for you? Just for your empty promise and the Vast Ocean Navigator that hasn’t proved its value?”
Han Fei sneered. “Do you think I would still need you Merman Royal Family when I become an emperor? Do you think I would let you Merman Royal Family off when I conquer the Thirty-Six Mystic Worlds and wipe out all my enemies? If it weren’t for the fact that Xiaochan is from the Merman Royal Family, I wouldn’t have found you as my ally!”
Han Fei poured a big bowl of cold water into the pot and said, “I asked you to come here today, but I didn’t expect you to agree. I can wait for you to come to me when I find all the Heavenly Palaces that disappeared.”
Chun Huangdian smiled contemptuously. “Even if you find all those down-and-out Heavenly Palaces, so what? Can you defeat an emperor?”
Han Fei sneered. “Chun Huangdian, is that all you’ve got?”
Han Fei’s eyes turned cold. “I can sacrifice the Yin-Yang World and the Water-Wood World. When I become an emperor, I can take revenge on my enemies one by one. But if you give up this opportunity, you will forever lose the chance to leave the Raging Sea. Besides, we will be mortal enemies then.”
