Chapter 746 - 364: Mermaid Girl, Jiaqing (Part 3)
"That’s how it is now. I don’t know whether I should use the old general’s favor to enlist the Sea Race to fight for me."
Fang Yu shook his head and spoke softly.
Jiaqing stood quietly beside him, remaining silent for a while before her gentle voice finally rang out, "For you to consider this shows your kindness and sense of responsibility. That’s good."
"Fang Yu, do you believe me?"
Fang Yu was taken aback, then nodded, "Tell me!"
"I actually have a way to solve your dilemma!"
Jiaqing chuckled as she spoke.
Upon hearing Jiaqing’s words, Fang Yu couldn’t help but widen his eyes, suddenly grabbing Jiaqing’s hand, "You have a way?"
Jiaqing’s body stiffened when Fang Yu grabbed her hand, but she did not withdraw it, allowing him to hold it as she softly spoke in a voice as faint as a mosquito’s buzz:
"Sail westward from here for about a thousand nautical miles, and there stands an Ocean Divine Hall above the sea."
"It is said that within this hall resides the deity that my Sea Race has worshipped for generations, and inside lies a certain treasure that can enhance our Sea Race, activating the bloodline and strengthening our race."
"Long ago, when my Sea Race was still mighty, we relied on this divine treasure to activate our bloodline and remain strong."
"But later, a person, a very powerful person, came to this Divine Hall..."
Jiaqing spoke slowly, causing Fang Yu’s face to show a trace of surprise, "A very powerful person?"
"Yes!"
Jiaqing nodded and continued, "This person seized the Divine Hall and drove our race from that sea area because he reared many Sea Beasts, needing that treasure to enhance and activate their bloodline, making his Sea Beasts even stronger."
"Since then, my Sea Race was driven out and lost our hereditary Secret Treasure. The bloodline could not be fully activated, leading to our gradual decline."
"If it weren’t for the old general leading the army to rescue us before, our Sea Race might have been exterminated by the special life forms from the open sea."
Jiaqing spoke softly, focusing her attention on what she was saying, her body slightly relaxed, letting Fang Yu hold her small hand as she spoke naturally.
"Are you suggesting I go to the Divine Hall and take back that treasure?"
"Even if the tribe’s combat power diminishes, with the treasure activating the bloodline, the Sea Race can swiftly become strong again, avoiding further decline until final decay?"
Fang Yu’s eyes lit up with joy as he spoke.
But soon, he furrowed his brows again, muttering, "No, that person could drive away the peak period Sea Race with ease; his strength must be greater than the current Sea Race.
With just myself and the fleet of a few hundred ships I lead, how could we be a match for this person? How could we take back the treasure?"
Upon hearing Fang Yu’s words, Jiaqing couldn’t help but chuckle, then spoke, "Silly Fang Yu, I never meant for you to face this strong adversary. Not even the chieftain could match him, let alone you."
Fang Yu was taken aback, "Then..."
Seeing Fang Yu’s confused expression, Jiaqing’s face turned slightly serious as she gazed into the distance, seemingly envisioning that Divine Hall through the thousand nautical miles.
After a while, Jiaqing softly spoke, "The reason I told you this is because..."
"The person who occupied the Divine Hall now seems to be confronting a group of people."
"A year ago, he lured a group into the Divine Hall, attempting to exhaust them to death within, but unexpectedly, their growth was astonishing. After just a few months, they managed to barely match him, causing the man not to have left the Divine Hall recently, being held up by that group."
"A group of people?"
Fang Yu was stunned, "Who are they to be able to hold up such a powerful person?"
Jiaqing looked at Fang Yu with an oddly peculiar gaze, then softly uttered:
"This group of people, like you..."
"Come from outside the domain!"
