Chapter 232 Western Emperor
Chapter 232: Western Emperor
Gu Youyou and Zhang Chi killed Ao Yue as if they were swatting a mosquito.
After killing him, they casually talked about love and unrelated matters to Sea Monster.
Poor Ao Yue had just escaped from the wolf's den and fell into the tiger's mouth, with only a thread of life left.
Before he could say much, Zhang Chi didn't even give him a chance to negotiate and directly ordered Gu Youyou to kill him.
Gu Youyou was also a professional fish killer and had already killed a bunch today, so she was in the mood.
And so, Ao Yue became food without causing any waves.
In a magnificent palace deep in the sea thousands of miles away, Ao Yue's nameplate shattered.
With the shattering of the nameplate, a terrifying aura erupted from the depths of the sea.
Dark clouds immediately covered the sea, and violent winds stirred up the clouds as the raging waves surged into the sky.
Countless sea creatures fled in panic, and the royal family of the sea vented their anger.
"Who dares to harm my son!"
The violent tsunami lasted for a night.
The storm caused by the Sea Sovereign swept towards the north, even disrupting the maritime routes.
There were four safe routes around the sea, each under the jurisdiction of one of the four Dragon Palaces. Only traveling on these routes was considered safe, while elsewhere, it was a matter of luck.
Usually, the safe routes were calm, and Sea Monsters could completely control the weather at sea.
But today, a chaotic tsunami swept in, catching the people on the safe routes off guard.
Countless fleets suffered a devastating blow.
The power of natural disasters at sea was truly despair-inducing.
As the responsible palace for safety, the Western Emperor Palace had already collected tolls and unexpectedly encountered such a major incident, instantly becoming a hot topic.
It should be noted that those who could travel on the four major routes were people related to the Central Continent.
Coincidentally, the assassin from the Wenren Family was also on one of these ships.
Wenren Tingyu's death was sudden. He had just exchanged information and was planning to find Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to calculate Wenren Li's location, but his nameplate exploded that night.
He was a Dao Integration expert, and no one expected Wenren Tingyu to die.
For the major families of the Central Continent, Dao Integration was the true foundation of a family.
There were too few Dao Integration experts, and the resources they controlled would also decrease accordingly.
In the Immortal Cultivation World, strength spoke for itself.
The more strong experts a family had, the more resources they could obtain. Otherwise, their mines, medicinal forests, and secret realms would attract others' covetousness.
A Dao Integration expert died inexplicably like this, which was difficult for the Wenren Family to accept.
Such a great loss also made the Wenren Family the target of criticism.
According to reason, they should have let go of Wenren Li by now.
Why must they exterminate him, a banished descendant?
But the head of the Wenren Family refused.
He was afraid that Wenren Li would disrupt his plans, and Wenren Shu was also afraid.
After so many years of fighting, she had cultivated her invincible temperament. Although her strength was far inferior to Wenren Li's, she would not reveal any flaws.
The fact that people from the Heavenly Pillar Sect took an interest in her was also because of the invincible myth she created.
Once the news leaked, not only she, but the entire Wenren Family would face the wrath of the Heavenly Pillar Sect.
So this time, the Wenren Family once again dispatched their hidden strength.
Two Dao Integration experts.
These two were the hidden experts that the family usually kept secret, and they were the limit that the Wenren Family could mobilize.
They couldn't afford to send any more.
With these two Dao Integration experts, they could completely sweep the area.
On this trip, besides killing Wenren Li, they also wanted to investigate how Wenren Tingyu died.
But unexpectedly, they encountered a shipwreck halfway through their journey.
The two Dao Integration experts from the Wenren Family, of course, would not be deterred by a mere tsunami. However, the Western Emperor Palace, which controlled the routes, had to investigate the cause of the tsunami. Therefore, they temporarily closed the routes and forced everyone to return.
It must be said that the Sea Monster Race conducted business honestly.
After discovering the problem and causing financial and personnel losses, the Western Emperor Palace immediately took action. Countless Sea Monsters rescued those stranded at sea and escorted them to the ports of human cities.
The Western Emperor Palace also promised compensation for the economic losses caused.
As for the delay in time, there was nothing they could do. After all, it was a natural disaster, and the Western Emperor Palace was not to blame for everything.
The damage to finances and personnel was visible, but as for the delay in time, who knew if someone would lie about it.
Helpless, the two members of the Wenren Family could only return and wait.
Although they were Dao Integration experts, they didn't dare to rashly take other routes across the deep sea.
The terror of the ocean couldn't be ignored just because they had reached the Dao Integration Realm.
Wenren Li probably didn't expect that his desperate killing of Ao Yue, which led to Ao Yue being seriously injured and falling into Zhang Chi's hands, and then dying, would buy her precious time.
If one were to carefully explore the cause and effect, Ao Yue was truly an innocent victim.
He sacrificed himself and helped others.
But let's get back to the main point.
The Western Emperor Palace quickly discovered the source of the tsunami, which came from the Black Emperor Palace.
In terms of power, the four Sea Sovereigns in the east, south, west, and north were naturally the strongest.
They were able to take on four routes, which is enough to show their capabilities.
However, upon learning that the tsunami was caused by the Black Emperor, the Western Emperor's palace only sent envoys to inquire about the cause of the tsunami. Upon learning that it was the death of the Black Emperor's crown prince that caused the Black Emperor's anger, the Western Emperor's palace not only did not demand compensation, but also prepared generous gifts. The Western Emperor personally went to the Black Emperor's palace to visit.
When the Western Emperor traveled, countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals cleared the way, creating a magnificent scene.
In fact, there was no need to clear the way in the sea, they could have just walked directly.
But the Western Emperor had been doing business with humans for years and had learned about the importance of pomp and circumstance.
Without tens of millions of people serving him when he went out, the Western Emperor was truly not used to it.
In the middle of the procession, three white snakes pulled a huge, colorful, and shiny seashell, in which sat an elegant and imposing woman.
This woman was the Western Emperor.
"Your Majesty, the Black Emperor's palace has caused us great losses. We not only did not demand compensation, but also brought gifts. Are we giving them too much face?" The serving clam woman, who was usually favored by the Western Emperor, spoke boldly.
The Western Emperor remained calm and said, "The Black Emperor is not worth worrying about, but he is somewhat connected to that person. It's better not to provoke him if we can avoid it. Besides, he has just experienced the pain of losing his son. If we cause trouble for him again, it would be too heartless."
The clam spirit remained silent.
She really didn't understand human sentiments, but why should our Monster Race care about human sentiments?
The clam spirit didn't understand, but she felt that the Western Emperor was right.
When the Western Emperor arrived at the Black Emperor's palace, she received the highest level of reception.
She did not demand compensation and personally visited the Black Emperor, which was considered giving him face.
Although the Black Emperor had caused a marine disaster in his anger over the loss of his son, he was not a fool.
The Western Emperor gave him face, and he also gave the Western Emperor some face.
The human form of the Black Emperor was that of a young man with a very fair complexion, even more youthful-looking than his son.
After meeting the Western Emperor, the Black Emperor took the initiative to mention compensation, but of course, the Western Emperor would not accept it.
If she had asked for it from the beginning, it would have been straightforward and without giving face.
But now that she had come, she definitely couldn't take the money.
The Western Emperor calmly said, "The losses are insignificant. We are both sea clans, there is no need to be so calculative. I came here today just to visit Brother Hei. If there is anything you need help with, Brother Hei, feel free to ask."
The most important thing is to help when it's needed the most. The Western Emperor was an excellent merchant and knew how to seize opportunities.
The Black Emperor was indeed moved.
Although he had no need for help, if the Western Emperor was willing to offer, he would accept this favor.
"My son has just died, and I only want to avenge him."
"Do you know who the culprits are?"
"I don't know yet. I have sent Long to investigate. Whoever it is, they will pay the price."
The Western Emperor nodded. She knew that Long was the Black Emperor's eldest daughter, Ao Long, and she was very powerful. However, she still expressed concern, "Will it be dangerous for her to investigate? The person who dared to harm the Third Prince must be quite powerful."
"Long has reached the level of a Monster Sovereign this time she left seclusion. In the Western State, no one can stop her."
"Wow..." The Western Emperor couldn't help but gasp.
Indeed, she was a demon who had transformed from a dragon whiskered octopus. Her talent for cultivation was too strong.
The Black Emperor had two daughters and one son, and they were all very strong. The Western Emperor had heard about it, but she didn't expect that his eldest daughter had actually broken through to become a Monster Sovereign.
"Congratulations, Brother Hei, on having two emperors in your family."
The Western Emperor's shocked expression made the Black Emperor feel pleased, but when he thought of his deceased son, Ao Yue, he felt heartache again.
Among his children, he loved the third one the most, and the third one also had the potential to become a Monster Sovereign, so he specially bestowed the Sea Sovereign domain upon him.
Given a little more time, the third one could also achieve Monster Sovereign status.
Not counting the second one who had gone to explore the open sea, his family could have three emperors.
And among the three children, the second one had the strongest talent. As long as he didn't die in the open sea, he would definitely become an emperor, or even an emperor.
The vision of having four emperors in the family was shattered just like that.
The more the Black Emperor thought about it, the angrier he became. He wished he could personally cause a devastating tsunami in the Western State.
It was because he was too impulsive that his eldest daughter had specially volunteered to investigate.
This time, she would only be investigating the culprits.
If there were large-scale massacres of humans, the consequences would be severe.
The human race valued face the most.
You could kill people, but if you slapped their faces too hard, they would go crazy.
Seeing his sadness, the Western Emperor comforted him and offered to help if the human race didn't cooperate.
After leaving some gifts, the Western Emperor returned with her entourage.
But she had a smiling face when she came, and a frosty face when she left.
This was not good, not good at all.
In terms of strength alone, she was still above the Black Emperor, but with the Black Emperor's family having two emperors, could she still maintain her position as the Western Emperor?
The more the Western Emperor thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.
She sat high in the Western Emperor's palace, guarding the routes and enjoying the benefits. Only she knew how much income she had.
If others were to find out about her income, could they resist the temptation?
She had to come up with a way to weaken the power of the Black Emperor's family.
Ao Long was a new emperor, and her strength was not strong enough. If something were to happen during the investigation...
