True Immortal of the Netherworld

The golden sun sets in the west, until the last trace of red reluctantly disappears on the sea.

The ensuing night cast a dark coat on the entire Jiaolong Bay, and the tireless waves continued to hit the walls of the Jiaolong Bay water village. They smashed into pieces, but they could not open a single crack in this solid fortress. .

In Jiaolong Bay, a bright yellow halo shines through the doors and windows of the water village hall. Looking from a distance, it looks like a pair of eyes searching for treasures in the dark night.

There are some people in the hall.

Among them was Li Xiong, the first-order guard who came out of the water village during the day. At this moment, Li Xiong was sitting in an armchair. After a busy day, his face looked slightly tired.

As the guard of this place, he has worked conscientiously for twenty years, never sloppily doing anything big or small. This time, the seventh prince of the Linjiao royal family personally brought someone to take over his post, so he naturally stood up for this last post with all his strength. During this day, he personally led the way to various important places in Jiaolong Bay, giving detailed introductions to the Seventh Prince and his party, and arranged for the guards who were about to be withdrawn to be ready to leave.

At this moment, sitting opposite him was a man wearing a blue brocade robe. This man was not sitting on a seat, but on a large wheelchair. The man is young, has a thin face, and has an ordinary appearance. What is striking is that the man's right forehead and right eye are covered by a gold mask. The mask has an obvious raised sharp corner on the forehead. It seemed as if the masked man had a sharp horn on his forehead.

Behind the masked man, standing to the left and right, was the bald general "Kemba" from the daytime and another thin, slightly older general also wearing armor.

Li Xiong, who had a beard on his face, said: "The living conditions in Jiaolong Bay are far less comfortable than those in the Royal Family. Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, has traveled thousands of miles and volunteered to be the leader of the Jiaolong Bay. You are truly a role model among the princes of the Linjiao Royal Family. .”

The masked man said: "Compared with my six outstanding brothers, I have little talent and poor skills. And this Jiaolong Bay is the holy land of my scale Jiao clan, and it is my honor to be here on duty. General Li Xiong Staying here in Jiaolong Bay for twenty years is an example for me to follow.”

When Li Xiong heard this, he said repeatedly: "I don't dare to take it. I don't dare to take it. How can a humble military general be compared with the seventh prince's body of ten thousand gold. I have arranged the handover of duty, and I can do it early tomorrow morning. After officially handing over all the duties of guarding this water village to the Seventh Prince and your men, I can rest assured that I can return to the East China Sea Palace, where Your Majesty is back."

The masked man said: "What I have seen and heard this day is full of fighting soldiers and well-organized defenses. It shows that General Li is running the army well. I will definitely give a memorial to my father to show your achievements and ask for help." Reward for merit."

When Li Xiong heard this, he looked overjoyed and quickly stood up from his seat, bowing and saying: "Thank you, Seventh Prince, for your support. If I, Li Xiong, are useful in the future, please feel free to give me your orders, Seventh Prince."

The masked man said: "Easy to say, easy to say."

…

The next morning.

The heavy gate of Jiaolongwan Water Village lazily rose up amidst the sound of "squeaking".

When the gate of the village was fully opened, a group of warships hurried out. On the deck of the leading ship, stood a bearded Li Xiong and his two personal guards.

"General, do these seven princes really want to stay on duty at the Jiaolong Bay Water Village for ten or eight years?" one of the guards asked.

Li Xiong looked back at Dazhai, then glanced at the guard, and reprimanded in a low voice: "How can we figure out the affairs of the royal family? His Majesty has seven sons, who is sure that these six princes cannot inherit the throne? Woolen cloth?"

"The general taught you a lesson." The personal guard stood aside in panic and said no more.

Li Xiong held the hilt of the sword at his waist with one hand and looked up at the Jiaolong Bay Water Village that was getting further away behind him. His eyes flickered. He felt both reluctance for his years of business and the expectation of returning to the Donghai clan.

…

The moment Li Xiong's fleet left the stronghold.

Under the water surface of Dazhai Gate, three groups of blue water as tall as one person took advantage of the opportunity before the water village gate fell and closed, like three spiritual fish stealing food against the current, sneaking in unknowingly. The three bodies of Xu Yang, Liu Haiyu and Yun Qiaoer were wrapped in the three masses of blue water.

…

In the main hall of Jiaolongwan Water Village.

The seventh prince, who was wearing a mask, arranged the duty tasks in an orderly manner. All the generals in the hall nodded and praised the seventh prince for his shrewdness and ability.

After the affairs were handed over, the masked man ordered to the soldiers in the lobby: "You all go out. No one is allowed to enter here without my permission. I want to discuss important matters with the two lieutenant leaders."

After hearing this, the guards with swords in the main hall lined up neatly and retreated respectfully.

At this time, only the Seventh Prince and his two confidants were left in the main hall. The door of the palace was closed tightly, and there was not even a single person on the corridor.

The masked man who was sitting in the wheelchair had a sly smile on his face. He suddenly stood up from the wheelchair with his hands and said with a slight complaint: "It's really tiring to perform in this wheelchair."

Kemba, who was tall and tall, touched his bald head with one hand and said: "I can't understand why His Highness is showing weakness like this, pretending that his leg injury has not healed, and insisting on going to this remote Jiaolong Bay to be on duty. ”

The masked man didn't answer, but raised the corner of his mouth slightly, half-smiling, and then touched the corner of his head covered by the mask with his hand, thoughtfully.

The thin old man on the other side said: "Brother Kemba, as the confidants of the seventh prince, it can be said that we are both prosperous and devastated. At the moment, the other six princes who are still in the Grand Palace have been working for the soon-to-be crown prince. We are preparing for the battle. We have even taken action overtly and covertly. I believe that our seventh prince has his own plans, and we just need to obey his orders."

Kemba said: "Brother Bamu, you are right. Especially the second prince among the princes, he is really arrogant. He used the excuse of competition to ruthlessly hurt our seventh prince. He heard that we were setting out A few days before he came here, he injured the fourth prince. He was trying to establish his authority so that other princes would not dare to compete with him for the throne."

Bamu said: "Let them fight for it. The second prince relies on his physical strength and has the support of his mother and stepmother's family. Of course he will get the upper hand. However, he will make enemies too early and will soon become the target of siege." "

Kemba followed behind the masked man and said: "With all due respect, Seventh Prince, are you really ready to give up the fight for the crown prince and stay in Jiaolong Bay for a few years? His Majesty's physical condition has become increasingly weak in the past two years. Since your Majesty has made it public After announcing the fight for the crown prince, we should have plans to abdicate. When the new emperor takes over, I'm afraid we will never be able to return to the Grand Palace."

The masked man finally said: "I deliberately pretended to be lame and hid in Jiaolong Bay, just to stay away from the whirlpool of fighting in the Grand Palace. Let my six brothers fight to the death first. When the opportunity comes, I will take you two with me. Kill me. I can't get the crown prince position, and no one else can get it. When I ascend the throne and become the great emperor, you two will be the meritorious elders."

Hearing what the masked man said, Bamu and Kemba showed excitement and ecstasy on their faces. They turned to face the masked man, knelt down on the ground, and swore in unison: "We will definitely fight for the seventh prince." Go all out on your way to the throne and die."

The masked man stretched out his hands to help the two of them up and said: "Get up, you two have followed me for many years and you should know my character. Why should I come all the way to Jiaolong Bay for no good?"

Bald Kemba said: "It turns out that the master has a plan for a long time. This subordinate is really overly worried."

The skinny Bamu said: "I said the master must have a clever plan."

The masked man pretended to be mysterious and said: "I will tell you two now the real purpose of my coming here."

After saying that, the masked man motioned for the two of them to come closer.

The two took a step forward, tilting their heads to listen.

The masked man bowed his head and whispered: "On that day, my father suddenly announced that the seven princes would decide the position of the crown prince in a martial arts competition. I always feel that things happened a little strangely. Even though my father is in poor health, he is an old man. It wouldn't be a problem to maintain my physique for another ten or eight years. That night, I quietly sneaked into my father's palace in the Grand Palace to look for the answer to the question, but I didn't find anything like a testament, just when I was about to leave in despair. At that time, I accidentally discovered that my father had entered a secret room. A few days later, the opportunity came. My father was in a good mood and left the Grand Palace for a few days to enjoy the flowers. I took the opportunity to sneak into the secret room again. . In that secret room, in addition to enshrining the totems of our Scale Jiao Clan, I also found an ancient scroll about the secrets of our Scale Jiao Clan. The ancient scroll records that the place where the Scale Jiao Clan prospered was this Jiaolong Bay. , and there is powerful dragon power hidden in Jiaolong Bay. As long as I get this dragon power, my physical strength will be greatly improved, and I will surpass several other princes in one fell swoop, and even become the strongest person in the entire scale dragon clan. At that time, the king of the Prince’s Fighting Competition must be me. With absolute power, even if my father doesn’t want to abdicate, I will ask him to give up the throne to me.”

After hearing this, Kemba and Bamu's eyes were rolling wildly, like two tomb robbers who had discovered the treasure in the tomb and were planning how to take it away.

…

Three days later, at the foot of the mountain in Jiaolong Bay, on the originally empty forest floor, ripples appeared, and three figures appeared. It was Xu Yang, Liu Haiyu and Yun Qiaoer who had sneaked in that day.

"We have been here for three full days. We have searched the Jiaolong Bay below and found no trace of the scaled dragon beast." Liu Haiyu, dressed in blue, said.

Yun Qiao'er, who looked a little disappointed, said: "Yes, even Mr. Liu's water spell can't search for results. I'm afraid there really are no scale dragon beasts in Jiaolong Bay. Could it be that the scale dragon beasts here have long been Doesn’t exist anymore?”

Xu Yang on the side looked at the mountain towering into the sky in front of him, rolled his eyes, and then said: "If the mountains are not high, there are immortals, and if the water is not deep, there are dragons and spirits. But who said that the scale dragon beast must live in the water? Can’t we live in the mountains?”

After hearing this, Yun Qiaoer joked: "Mr. Xu is indeed a monk who practices ghost ways. He always has ghost ideas that surprise people."

After hearing this, Liu Haiyu walked to the mountain wall, stretched out a finger and poked it gently, and a little blue light flashed like a ripple. After a moment, he retracted his finger and said: "The spiritual energy on this mountain is indeed strong. Maybe the scale dragon beast or the power of the dragon is really on it."

The three of them looked at each other and said in unison: "Let's go."
