Chapter 441: History of Lost City (1/2)
After an hour, the condition of Sea Demon Patriarch finally stabilized and no longer deteriorated. Ye Chuan took out that poisonous needle from the body of Sea Demon Patriarch and those pitch black shiny needle made the scalp of people tingle. Now, although his body was still very weak, the old man finally regained his consciousness.
“Patriarch, what exactly is going on here?” Ye Chuan asked coming straight to the point.
The journey from East Sea’s Dragon King Island to this place was quite smooth, but arriving near Lost City, the holy land of Sea Demon Clan, the disturbances suddenly began. First came the attack of super electric eel, followed by the sudden attack of assassin Rain Demon. This made everyone know that something was wrong here. That assassin Rain Demon had not come for Ye Chuan, rather he was clearly aiming for Sea Demon Patriarch. This confused everyone even more.
Thinking about the actions and continuous urging of Sea Demon Patriarch all along the way, now Ye Chuan was sure that Sea Demon Patriarch was definitely hiding something. Regardless of super electric eel or assassin Rain Demon, their combat power was outstanding and they had the means to annihilate the entire army. Next, what kind of expert or evil spirit would they encounter?
Ye Chuan was solemn and he ordered to stop sea dragon boat. Without clearly understanding the ins and outs of this matter, he would absolutely not let Zhu Sijia and other disciples of Cloud Mist Sect continue this journey.
“I also don’t know, that whatever called Rain Demon assassin, wasn’t……, wasn’t he mistaken?”
Sea Demon Patriarch said and his expression fluctuated a little.
Ye Chuan nodded his head and said: “Well, it is also possible, assassins are also human, they might foolishly mistake their target. Perhaps, that assassin was also suffering from seasickness or fears water like Abasi, therefore, being confused and disoriented in the sea, he thought to casually cut off the head of anyone he met and return to report his task. It’s just that, very unfortunately, by coincidence, he ran into Your Excellency Patriarch, that assassin was truly stupid.”
The face of Sea Demon Patriarch became somewhat red. Who didn’t understand the sarcastic retort of Ye Chuan?
“Grandfather, what is going on here? Who sent that assassin?” Hai Lili lost temper and asked, seemingly, it was not Sea Demon Patriarch who was lying rather her and she didn’t have face to face Ye Chuan. Long before Cloud Mist Sect had gone out to the sea, she had vaguely felt that something was wrong. She had always felt that her grandfather was hiding something.
The old man didn’t speak, just remained silent.
Ye Chuan sat down cross-legged. He didn’t force an answer and also didn’t urge, just said indifferently, “Your Excellency Patriarch, considering the one help of your Sea Demon Clan, I can take a risk without getting to the bottom of this. But, it is impossible for me to let the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect risk their life without knowing what this is about. If you don’t make it clear, then either sea demon boat will stop here or you can lead your clansmen to continue on your journey and we will think of a way to return to the mainland.”
Ye Chuan gave Sea Demon Patriarch some face. He was very polite but his tone was very firm.
Since it had already reached this point, even if Sea Demon Patriarch wanted to hide things, he couldn’t find the way out, so he sighed and said, “Who sent that assassin, I truly don’t know that. This time we are returning to Lost City is also to really bring back our sacred item, Neptune Horn. A very long time ago, Lost City was greatly weakened because of the internal strife, then its position was exposed, attracting the attacks of external forces. Our clansmen fought desperately to protect the Lost City and Lost City was saved. But, although Lost City was saved, among the ten defense restrictions, nine defense restrictions were destroyed and the final one defense restriction also suffered heavy damage, as a result, it would weaken every two hundred years and needs maintenance of future generations.”
“A few days later, it just so happened to be the day when that defense restriction of Lost City is weakened, isn’t that so?” Ye Chuan asked, grasping the key point of Sea Demon Patriarch.
“Yes.”
The old man didn’t deny. This time, coming from afar, taking away sacred item Neptune Horn was the main objective, but the maintenance of weakened defense restriction was also another big reason. Every two hundred years, even if they were at the ends of the earth, they would have to return here to maintain the defense restriction. This was the task for every patriarch to maintain the inheritance of Sea Demon Clan.
With the current strength of Sea Demon Clan, it was impossible to reoccupy and rule the Lost City, but they also couldn’t let this holy land be occupied by other people.
