The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

"Xiang Liu?"

People were all shocked.

"Where is Xiangliu?" The red-robed old monster said excitedly, "Wait for me to fight him for three hundred rounds!"

Bantian Yao taunted, "You? If you are really Xiangliu, crushing you to death is as easy as crushing an ant."

"Tsk, I don't believe it!" The old monster in red robe sneered, "Mr. Li can't crush me to death like an ant. How can he be more powerful than Mr. Li?"

Bantian Yao did not answer and recalled the past.

He was also a great ancient demon, so he knew very well what the name Xiangliu meant.

After his death in the great battle between gods and demons, he not only lost his physical body, but also his demon pill dissipated. Only a wisp of soul was left wandering in the ancient mountains. It was until the underworld servant brought him back to life in the body of a bat.

The Hades Servant asked him to wait for the Holy Lord. He waited for thousands of years, and finally the person who mastered the black light came.

The battle with the Blood Demon was still vivid in his mind, and he would never forget the scene of the black sword light tearing through the red sea of ​​blood.

Bantian Yao couldn't be sure who was more powerful between the Blood God Son and Xiangliu. Both were ancient demons, one was the Blood Demon transformed by the power of the original sea of ​​blood, and the other was the Nine-headed Dragon King who commanded all dragons.

But he had a belief in his heart that the Holy Lord was invincible. If not, what was the meaning of his rebirth and the thousand-year wait?

In fact, for him, the biggest shock in his heart was not the strength that Li Muchen showed that day, but the sentence "We are all equal. If you are willing, you can treat me as a friend, and I will also treat you as a friend."

The word "friend" is too luxurious and too precious to him.

"Mr. Li doesn't crush you to death simply because he doesn't treat you as an ant." Bantian Yao said.

The old monster in red robe obviously didn't understand the profound meaning of Bantian Yao and wanted to continue arguing, but Bantian Yao ignored him and bent down to look at the old man with giant clam.

Although a steady stream of spiritual energy flowed into the giant clam through the seven-layer treasure box, he was obviously seriously injured and could not circulate his meridians well. The self-healing of spiritual energy alone was very slow. His weak body was obviously unable to withstand such a strong spiritual energy impact. He just said two sentences and showed signs of coma again.

"Father! Father!" Pearl shook the giant clam's body anxiously.

"Don't move!" Bantian Yao warned, "His inner elixir is cracked and he can't gather spiritual energy."

After saying that, he placed his hand on the giant clam's chest and slowly transferred his own demon elixir energy into the giant clam's body, helping him to circulate the meridians, absorb spiritual energy, and repair his wounds.

The old monster in red robe saw that Bantian Yao had a serious expression on his face, and also knew that the giant clam's injuries were quite serious, so he stopped talking.

After a long while, the giant clam opened its eyes again, and its complexion seemed to have improved a little.

"Father!" Pearl cried.

Bantian Yao loosened his hand and shook his head gently, saying, "His inner elixir has been shattered and all his elixir essence has been lost. I have done my best. If you have anything to say, please speak up."

Pearl's heart instantly sank into an icy valley, and in her despair she didn't know what to say.

Instead, it was the giant clam that smiled and raised its hand, as if wanting to touch Pearl's face.

Pearl put Giant Clam's hand on her face and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Don't cry!" said the giant clam, "Everyone will die. Death is not scary. As a mermaid, it is my honor to die in this deep sea, in the place where the gods once lived."

"The place where God lived?" Pearl was very puzzled.

"Yes, this is the Crystal Palace. It is the origin of the deep-sea dragon clan and the place where the spiritual energy of the West Sea is gathered. In the West Sea, there are dragon kings. The dragon king of the West Sea is Zhulong, and the dragon king of the East Sea is Xiangliu."

"When the gods and demons fought, Gonggong crashed into Mount Buzhou and broke away from the heavens. After escaping to the sea, he was supported by the dragons and established himself as the god of water. He used the deep-sea black crystal stone as the foundation to build an underwater palace and condensed the spiritual energy of the West Sea there. This is the origin of the Crystal Palace."

"Father, why are you saying this? Let me take you out. There is an immortal named Tiandu on Jiulong Island. He will definitely be able to heal your injuries." Zhenzhu said in tears.

The giant clam shook his head and said, "I was sucked into the deep sea by the stone sucker. My inner elixir shattered while I was struggling. I should have died a long time ago, but I didn't expect to encounter the strange turbulence on the seabed, which sent me into the secret realm of the dragon clan. I am very satisfied to be able to live this long and see you."

"Father……"

"Let me finish... Pearl, we mermaids have many secrets that I haven't had the chance to tell you. It was because you were still young, and some of them were just legends, so I didn't know if they were true. But when I got here, I saw the ruins of the Crystal Palace, and some things can finally be confirmed."

"We are islanders who originally lived on the sea. In ancient times, we made our living by the sea. We have a blood relationship with the people on land, but we also keep a distance with the water as a boundary. We believe in the water god and are very close to the aquatic creatures in the sea. We are also blessed by the dragon clan. When Gonggong came to the sea, we thought we finally had a god that truly belonged to us. We also longed to live on that vast and fertile land under the guidance of the god."

"When Gonggong built the Crystal Palace and won the support of the entire dragon clan, he raised the banner and stirred up trouble in the Nine Provinces, wanting to rebel against the Way of Heaven, seize Kunlun, and take over. We also supported him with the strength of our entire clan and followed him in his battles."

"Later, Dayu led an expedition to the east, exterminated Gonggong, and shot Xiangliu to death. Our entire clan should have been exterminated along with the army because we followed Gonggong to fight. However, considering that our people were simple and honest and had not committed any serious crimes, we were cursed and made to lose our legs and turn into mermaids, never to leave land again."

Pearl remembered that her father had told her all these things before, but he was not so specific. However, they were basically the same. She didn't know why her father repeated them today.

"Father, I remember you said that our curse can be lifted, right?"

"According to our ancestors' legends, when the crystal gate opens and the devil reappears, our curse will be lifted. I originally thought that this was just the wishful thinking of our ancestors, but when I came here, I finally knew how to lift the curse on us."

"How do I remove it?"

"Pearl, do you know why I named you this?"

"why?"

"We, the mermaids, were once a very powerful race with our own special powers. Otherwise, we would not have been chosen by Gonggong and become one of his tribes for his conquest of the world. This power was sealed after Gonggong was defeated and we were cursed. As long as we can regain this power, the curse on us will naturally be lifted."

"Where is this power sealed? How do I regain it?" Pearl asked curiously.

"It is sealed in the pearl of a ten-thousand-year-old crystal clam, and that pearl is inlaid on the Dinghai Shenzhen that suppresses Xiangliu."

There was a strange light in the giant clam's eyes.

"I saw it, and I felt the energy inside it. It belongs to us, Pearl, you have to take it back, lift the curse, and let our people have legs again!"

“Pearl!” Giant Clam’s face suddenly turned red, and he tightly grasped Pearl’s arms. “We must take it back, take back the power of our ancestors, and wait for the return of the demon god!”

The giant clam's appearance is clearly a last gasp.

"Father..." Pearl wanted to calm the giant clam down, but it was too late.

The giant clam's body stiffened, its eyes quickly became dull, and the blush on its face faded, except for its hands that were still tightly grasping Pearl's arms.

Bantian Yao reached out his hand to feel the Dan Qi in the giant clam's body and shook his head.

"Father!..." Pearl was in grief.

Looking at Zhenzhu's appearance, Sister Mei felt a little sad, and at the same time, a little worried and uneasy.

There are many things and many clues, tangled together like a tangled mess.
