Road to Peace

"Oops." Yang Shen blurted out, with a worried look on his face.

Originally, he was able to control the Sha Tang, but this time he used an automatic program, which made Xie Er disappear without a sound.

That person was not quite right after he caught Oston. After Lan Suyuan mentioned Wu Kui, he thought he was getting better, but he didn't expect to disappear suddenly.

The situation at the bottom of the sea is unclear, if Shell goes out alone, he is afraid that he will fall into a situation surrounded by wolves.

Lan Suyuan glanced outside, pressed Yang Shen's shoulder, "He's not weak, this is his own decision."

"Decision? You mean—" Yang Shen frowned even tighter. Is Xie Er going to find Wu Kui?This is even more dangerous. Now that person is the leader of the traitors, how could he be easily approached.

At this time, Shell was hiding in the dark behind the rocky mountain, observing the surrounding environment.

Brilliant blond hair, half-length and not short, had no time to take care of it before, and it has become a bit eye-catching, so it was disguised by the boy as the color of seaweed, and it was tied behind his head.

He has already sneaked into the ruins of the underwater city from the silver-blue sea area through the long and narrow channel. Unlike Lan Suyuan and other mermaids who used violence to come and go through this secret channel, Xie Er chose the way not to alarm those ugly monster fish.

In terms of force value, he certainly can't compare with the King Shark, but concealment, stealth, and camouflage are his strong points.Fortunately, he would habitually explore the whole area every time he went to a strange place. When he came here before, he had already learned the terrain by heart, which saved a lot of trouble.

However, luminescent jellyfish belts and strange fish nests are scattered around in the seaway. Every wrong half step may fall into the mouth of a group of fish.

Even Xie Er let out a long breath the moment he walked out of the sea path.

The shark bead in his hand was given by Wu Kui in the "battle" with the sharks when he and Yang Shen went out to sea in a warship, but now, holding it, he decided to meet that man.

Along the way, the situation in the seabed city was shocking.

There are almost no humans in this city now, and the mermaids basically lived in the center of the city before, because the buildings there were relatively well preserved.

Now Schell discovered that there are many mermaids living in the edge of the city, where the houses are more dilapidated.

There seemed to be a depressing atmosphere in the sea water, and he could almost hear the faint cry of despair floating in the air along the way.

The doors of every house are tightly closed, as if there are monsters eating people outside. Unfortunately, such dilapidated and decaying houses cannot resist malicious attacks whether they are closed or not.

Occasionally, there are sharks wandering on the road, they are also yellow and emaciated, with a sad expression, the original beautiful long hair and long tail have lost their luster, as if they will die at any time.

how so?It hasn't been long since Lan Suyuan was captured. Under the rule of...that person, this place has turned into such a hell on earth.

Thinking of Wu Kui, the man who was always smiling and not serious appeared in Xie Er's mind, and he couldn't help frowning.

If there was a bit of self-abandonment in his emotions when he left without saying goodbye on the Sha Tang just now, now he is occupied by deep doubts.

Make this place look like this, what is that person thinking.

Crossing the outer city has become a breeze. There are almost no people on the road, and there are no guards. It seems that the sharks living here have been abandoned.

But after entering the inner city area where the mermaids lived in the past, the atmosphere changed suddenly.

If you use one word to describe it, it is probably aristocratic atmosphere.

Compared with those untouchable mermaids just now, the mermaids living here are obviously living the lives of nobles.

The whole city is exquisitely and gorgeously decorated, even the water temperature has a bit of ambiguous warmth, and the mermaids who come and go are luxuriously dressed, with haughty expressions, trying their best to pretend to be elegant.

But it's just pretending.

Cher's eyes drifted past them indifferently, without stopping for a moment. These people were obviously not nobles before.

Temperament is not something that can be cultivated overnight, even if they are now wearing the best clothes and living a prosperous life, such a short period of time still cannot hide the rough smell on their bodies.

And he didn't know any of them, so he was sure that these were definitely not the mermen who lived there before.

Then it is obvious that these people here are all traitors in Lan Suyuan's mouth.

But when it comes to elegance, it's the guy who doesn't play cards according to common sense. No matter how outrageous his words and deeds are, he can still reflect the cultivation and charm of inheritance.

Damn it, Shell suddenly discovered that he had accidentally thought of Wu Kui several times in such a short period of time. Although it was true that his goal this time was Wu Kui, it was not a good thing to think so frequently.

The inner city was fully guarded, and there were posts and sentries everywhere, as if they were afraid of those poor mermaids outside the city who were not enjoying their lives rushing in.

However, with his intuition that he has been trained for many years, Shell felt strangely that the tight security in this city did not seem to prevent people from outside from rushing in, but people from inside to run out.

Where is that guy Wu Kui?

Shell hid more carefully, tried to minimize his sense of existence, assimilated with inanimate objects, but did not stop collecting information.

Not far away, two mermen were talking, and each sentence drifted into Xie Er's ears.

"That damn... why should we be our leader, that guy Ling Yu is fine, easy to control, this guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

"Tsk, keep your voice down, it's a last resort to cooperate with the Wu family. How can we bring down the Lan family's royal family? You didn't see the eyes of the Lan emperor when he found out that he had been betrayed that day. It was so beautiful."

"So what, the Lanhuang has been dealt with now, but we are lucky, we are crushed to death by Wu Kui."

"It's also unlucky. He has such a powerful medicine in his hand. Once he touches it, even the Blue Emperor can be easily dropped. He originally thought that he could be thrown away after the royal family was dealt with."

"Damn it, look at his orders. The aborigines were reduced to pariahs and moved to the outer cities. We became nobles, but we were all locked up here. They also said that nobles and pariahs should not contact each other."

"Is this guy crazy because he wants to be the emperor?"

"Speak softly! This is not far from where he lives, so be careful to demote you to the outer city."

When the merman said that, his companion shut up resentfully, and the two left very unhappy.

Shell stayed where he was, without any change in the frequency of his breathing and heartbeat, but secretly frowned.

The Wu Kui they were talking about was so strange to people.

Untouchables?Are those half-dead mermaids in the outer city caused by Wu Kui?

He tightly squeezed the shark bead in his hand, since Wu Kui's residence is not far away, it is better to visit this "leader of the traitor" as soon as possible.

He originally thought that since Wu Kui was in power, although the time was short, he would try his best to make the place where he lived magnificent.

After searching carefully for a long time, I unexpectedly found that it was only a bigger room.

It doesn't look very eye-catching from the outside, and it's not even comparable to the residences of some so-called nobles I've seen before.

After sneaking into the building, the layout inside is somewhat familiar.

Xie Er's brows twitched slightly, and he suddenly remembered that after Wu Kui discovered the secret of spying on the mermaids with Yang Shen, that man forced him to take him back to his home, and Wu Kui's home was almost like this at that time.

It seems that he likes this kind of decoration very much, but Wu Kui is still a nostalgic person.

It's just that these scenes reminded Xie Er of some unpleasant memories, for example, Lan Suyuan even gave him an order to be Xie Er's fiancée.

Damn it, thinking of this, he suddenly felt that it's better not to let Lan Suyuan take the throne again, so as not to encounter such a thing again.

His heart was slightly flustered, and for a moment, Shell forgot to control his movements, but he quickly recovered and calmed down.

Looking around, there was no movement, and it seemed that no trace had been revealed.

Xie Er walked in more carefully, and then saw Wu Kui, who was sitting in front of the table with his hands on his forehead, and seemed to be taking a nap.

The man still had a perennial smile on his face, even with his eyes closed he gave off a frivolous feeling, but for some reason, Schell felt that the smile was so superficial and unreal.

He was chilled by his own thoughts.

Whether Wu Kui smiled or not has nothing to do with him.He was just really curious why this man rebelled when he was living a good life.

At this moment, Wu Kui, who had closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes as if he sensed something, looked out, and said casually, "Since you're here, come out."

Shell, who was hiding in the dark, was startled, when did Wu Kui find him?His concealment technique is obviously quite advanced, but he doesn't know why he is always seen through by Wu Kui at a glance.

This man had a monitor installed on him.

Xie Er hesitated, considering whether Wu Kui had really discovered something or was just cheating. At this moment, a merman came out from another direction.

The man looked gloomy, and his voice was shrill and creepy, "Lord Wu Kui is still as sharp as ever."

It turned out that he had found someone else, and Shell retracted his toes that had stepped a little, and continued to lurk.

My heart was relieved, but it seemed that there was more to it than relaxation.

Lost?How is it possible, this is probably an illusion.

Wu Kui looked at the mermaid in front of him. Genes made mermaids all born beautiful, but although this mermaid was good-looking, he exuded a gloomy aura that made people not want to get close to him.

Even his long tail is pitch black.

"What's the matter?" Wu Kui looked at him sideways, with a light voice at the end, like a dandy molesting a beauty.

The man was unmoved at all, and his high-pitched voice made people feel very uncomfortable, "Master Wu Kui, you strictly ordered the nobles not to have contact with the untouchables, what is the reason?"

Wu Kui raised his eyebrows, and said lazily, "Tsk, isn't this your wish, to break away from the status of a traitor, become a master, and take revenge on the original mermaids?"

"But--"

"But what? What I ordered is that the untouchables are not allowed to contact the nobles. Isn't the distinction between the inner and outer cities just to show the identity you desire? Why, do you still want to mix with the untouchables?"

"Hmph, Mr. Wu Kui has a sharp mouth. He negotiated and cooperated with us in the same way at the beginning, and brought down the Lan royal family. Now that he has finally unified the Mermaid clan, is your Excellency at midnight?"

Wu Kui looked like you were out of your mind, "You are not afraid, why should I be uneasy? Or do you want me to repent, get Lan Suyuan back, rule you, and send you back to the Abyss of Hopelessness?"

The man choked with anger, and said viciously: "It's best not to run out of the medicine in your hand, and besides, those untouchables won't be grateful to you!"

"Hey, you're just a pariah, thank you, what does it have to do with me? Why, do you want to take medicine?"

The black figure flashed in the water and quickly disappeared.

At this time, Wu Kui turned his head again, looking at the direction where Shell was hiding, "Come out, little guy, is it fun to listen to the corner?"

There was a long silence.

Finally, Shell slowly emerged from the shadows, confronted Wu Kui without saying a word, and their eyes met.

Wu Kui smiled, "What's your expression, dear, are you planning to beat me or kill me?"
