He calmed his mind.
The two of them flew towards the merman clan leader’s cave abode.
Moments later.
The two of them landed in front of Luo Li’s father’s cave abode.
“Let’s go.”
Luo Li turned around and smiled at Chen Daoxuan.
“Yes.”
Chen Daoxuan nodded and followed behind him.
“Daddy, look who 1 invited!”
Luo Li said cheerfully as soon as they entered the cave abode.
Chen Daoxuan looked around at the furnishings in the cave dwelling.
Compared to the cave abodes of human cultivators, the cave abodes of mermen seemed to have a different style.
Above the cave abode.
It was decorated with Water Spirit Pearls of various sizes, looking like the top of the starry sky.
Chen Daoxuan met this merman tribe leader for the second time in the cave abode hall.
Compared to the first time he saw him, the merman tribe leader’s current condition did not seem too good.
Luo Xiuyuan raised his head, his face pale.
He was wrapped in a layer of loose brocade clothes. From the outside, he seemed a little weak.
“You’re here.”
Luo Xiuyuan’s voice was terrifyingly hoarse, as if he was on his last breath.
However, Chen Daoxuan knew that even though the other party was heavily injured, as a late-stage Zifu Disciple, he was still not someone he could speculate on.
“Senior, you’re…”
Luo Xiuyuan looked up at Luo Li and waved his hand. “”Li ‘er, you can go out first.”
“Yes, Father.”
Luo Li’s eyes revealed a trace of reluctance. She was very worried about her father’s injuries, but she did not have any good solutions.
According to the illustrated guide provided by Chen Daoxuan, she had found a lot of elixirs to treat her father’s injuries at the bottom of the sea, but none of them had any effect on her father’s injuries.
He watched Luo Li leave.
Luo Xiuyuan looked at Chen Daoxuan with a deep gaze and said, “”Brat, we meet again.”
Chen Daoxuan cupped his hands and said nothing.
Luo Xiuyuan pulled down his loose robe and said to himself, “”As you can see, I don’t have long to live.”
Only to see.
On Luo Xiuyuan’s chest, the wound that Zhou Mubai had inflicted on him back then had not healed. Instead, it had worsened.
A terrifying sword aura circled around the wound on Luo Xiuyuan’s chest.
Moreover, Chen Daoxuan also saw that this sword Qi was resisting Luo Xiuyuan’s magic power while devouring the other party’s magic power to grow stronger.
This caused Luo Xiuyuan to be unable to obliterate this sword qi at all.
Three years of entanglement.
Luo Xiuyuan was almost at the end of his rope.
“Three years ago, in order to attack the Demon Ape Mountain, it completely lost control, and the result is like this.”
Luo Xiuyuan laughed at himself and put on his robe again.” Do you know why I want to see you? ”
“Junior doesn’t know. Please tell me, Senior.”
Chen Daoxuan cupped his hands.
As for Luo Xiuyuan’s injuries, he knew better than Luo Xiuyuan himself since he had received Zhou Mubai’s sword art inheritance.
This was the damage left behind by the sword intent.
This kind of injury was extremely difficult to heal, unless the sword cultivator used his own sword intent to obliterate this sword qi, or let the Golden Core cultivator use a higher level of magic power to obliterate it bit by bit.
Otherwise, if he didn’t get rid of this sword qi, even if he took the spirit pill to heal his injuries, his body would still be destroyed by this sword qi.
This was also the terrifying aspect of Swordsmen.
” In the past three years, our two clans have been trading frequently. Whether it’s our weapons, spiritual rice, or even the clothes worn by our clansmen, we all rely on your Chen Clan to supply them.”
Luo Xiuyuan paused.” What’s even more ridiculous is that my clan actually used your Chen Clan’s contribution points. Brat, are you planning to take my clan under your wing and become a vassal of your Chen clan?”
Hearing this.
Chen Daoxuan’s heart tightened, but there was no fear on his face. He said righteously,”Senior, what do you mean by this? The deal between our two races is all for the benefit of each other.
If Senior feels that it is inappropriate to use my Chen Clan contribution points, you can exchange them for spirit stones.”
“Don’t be in a hurry to quibble. We both know the truth.”
Luo Xiuyuan sighed.” Let me ask you, do you really like our merfolk clan? ”
Chen Daoxuan didn’t know what the other party meant and fell silent for a moment.
Chen Daoxuan didn’t say anything.
Luo Xiuyuan’s eyes became misty.” Do you know why I didn’t trade with the Yang family or the Wu family? Why did I choose to trade with a small family like the Chen family? ”
“Junior doesn’t know.”
Chen Daoxuan shook his head.
He had always been very puzzled about this matter.
On the surface, whether it was the Yang family or the Wu family, it was better than the Chen family.
After all, the Yang, Wu, and Zhao families were much stronger than the Chen family.
“Because these few families have their own vassal races, and our merman race doesn’t want to become someone else’s vassal.”
Luo Xiuyuan said faintly.
“Vassal race?”
This was the first time he had heard of the secret of the Guang ‘an Prefecture. He could not help but feel curious.
“That’s right, the Yang Family’s Purple Lightning Snapping Turtle Clan and the Wu Family’s Jade Water Ape Clan are their vassal clans. The Zhou family also has a vassal race. It’s said to be a Golden Core race, but I don’t know which race it is.”
Luo Xiuyuan shook his head.” A vassal race. They’re called vassals, but they’re actually dogs raised by the big families!”
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan’s heart stirred up a great wave.
He knew that the cultivation clans in the Infinite Star Sea had a deep foundation, but he didn’t expect it to be this deep.
In addition to the strength of their own people, they also had interests in the underwater world of the Infinite Star Sea.
Actually, thinking about it carefully.
No one in this world was a fool, especially these big families.
If the Chen family could think of something, how could the other families not think of it?
Besides, trading with the non-humankind could reap a lot of wealth in the underwater world of the Infinite Star Sea. It would be strange if the Cultivation families didn’t interfere.
As for the Chen family, they didn’t know at all because they couldn’t come into contact with this level at all.
Thinking of this…
“Since your merfolk clan has always been captured by the Zhou family, why don’t you choose to become their vassal?”
This way, at least it’s better than our clansmen becoming slaves of the Zhou Clan.”
Who knew that when he heard this.
“Slaves are still of the same race, but vassals are not.” Luo Xiuyuan said faintly.
“What does Senior mean by this?”
Chen Daoxuan frowned in confusion.
Luo Xiuyuan didn’t answer the question. Instead, he asked, “”Do you know the origin of my merfolk clan?”
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan shook his head. Even though it was rumored that the merfolk race was a branch of the ancient human race, how could he say such an unverified rumor?
At least on the surface, the racial characteristics of the human race and the merfolk race were obvious.
One had legs, and the other had a fishtail.
“In ancient times, the demonic beasts were the overlords of this world, and humans were just their food.
At that time, in order to survive, the human race had a huge disagreement.
One side advocated fighting the demon beasts to the end, while the other side advocated escaping to the deep sea to survive.
Countless years passed.
The human race, who chose to fight the demon beasts to the end, defeated the demon beasts and became the ruler of this world.
The human race that chose to escape to the deep sea gradually lost their human characteristics and grew fish tails.
“However, they discovered that there are also countless demon beasts in the deep sea world. Moreover, as the humans on land won, more and more demon beast races fled to the deep sea. As a result, it was difficult for this human race to reproduce, and their race became smaller and smaller.”
At this point.
“That’s right. This branch of the ancient human race is the ancestor of our merfolk race.
You and I are of the same race!”
Unexpectedly, Chen Daoxuan’s expression did not change at all when he heard this. Instead, he glanced at the other party’s fishtail.
Luo Xiuyuan seemed to have been provoked by Chen Daoxuan’s gaze. He immediately became excited.”Yes, sir! We did escape back then! However, our ancestors only wanted to survive. They only wanted to preserve a trace of the human bloodline!
Our ancestors only wanted to live, they just didn’t want to die! What did we do wrong? Cough, cough, cough!”
Luo Xiuyuan started coughing violently.
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan didn’t say a word and just looked at the other party indifferently.
That expression definitely didn’t look like he was looking at someone of the same race.
His cold attitude had completely torn apart the scar in the deepest part of Luo Xiuyuan’s heart. It made him, a dignified late-stage Purple Prefecture Cultivator, feel extremely sorrowful and heartbroken.
Different choices led to different fates for different races.
One of the two human races became the ruler of this world.
On the other hand, even the most basic reproduction and survival had become extremely difficult.
However…
Now, the side that had become the world’s ruler no longer thought that the merfolk race was a branch of the human race that shared the same origin as them.
Luo Xiuyuan thought back to when he attacked Guang ‘an Prefecture.
The way those itinerant cultivators looked at him.
It was as if he had seen some kind of novel demon beast, and his eyes were filled with ridicule.
At the moment of death.
Luo Xiuyuan couldn’t help but feel sad.
If it was back then, their ancestors would not choose to escape to the deep sea, but choose to fight side by side with the humans on land.
How good would that be!
After a long time.
Luo Xiuyuan calmed himself down and looked up. “”Our merfolk clan is willing to become a vassal of your Chen clan.”
“Why?”
Chen Daoxuan was very puzzled.
Although the Chen family was thriving, there were so many big families in Guang ‘an Prefecture. No matter which one he chose, it would be better than the Chen family.
“Because of Li ‘er.” Luo Xiuyuan’s eyes dimmed.
“Miss Luo?
Chen Daoxuan frowned, even more confused.
” Because she told me that you’re the only one looking at her like you’re not looking at a monster.”
Luo Xiuyuan emphasized again.” We are not monsters, nor are we aliens. We are…” Humans!”
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan took a deep breath and nodded. “”Good! On behalf of the Chen family, I accept the loyalty of your merfolk clan!”
Obtaining the loyalty of the merfolk clan had always been something Chen Daoxuan dreamed of.
But for some reason.
At this moment, he did not feel the slightest excitement.
There was only a hint of sadness.
Sometimes, a single wrong step could lead to eternal damnation.
Luo Xiuyuan straightened his body and knelt in front of Chen Daoxuan. He signed a contract and said, “”I, Luo Xiuyuan, the clan leader of the Merman clan, swear on behalf of all the members of the Merman clan that from today onwards, I will be loyal to the Chen clan until I die!”
“I, the clan leader of the Chen clan, Chen Daoxuan, accept the allegiance of the merfolk clan on behalf of my Chen clan!”
In the air, an invisible contract was formed between the two.
The Race Affinity Contract!
At this moment.
He felt that he had a faint connection with every member of the Merman Race.
Although this sense could not do anything to the merman clansmen, it could sense if they were loyal to him.
This was the effect of the Race Affinity Contract.
He watched as Chen Daoxuan left his cave abode.
Li ‘er, I hope Father’s choice this time is not wrong.” Luo Xiuyuan sighed silently..
