"Father! Save Young Master Su!" Lü Dandan cried out.
"Young Master Su went down of his own accord," Lü Yugang said.
"There's no need for you to worry about Young Master Su. He shouldn't be in any danger. Young Master Su has an astounding background; he is no ordinary person," Master Ba stated.
"Master Ba, did you perceive something?" Lü Yugang asked curiously. This Master Ba was Lü Yugang's confidant; Lü Yugang often consulted him on many matters.
"Young Master Su certainly possesses an astonishing heritage. However, I was unable to divine his specific origins," Master Ba said.
"I once secretly attempted to divine him, but there was an incredibly terrifying law—a force—silently preventing my divination. It nearly shook me to injury. I dared not divine any further into Young Master Su," Master Ba sighed.
"Young Master Su is a dragon among men, truly extraordinary. Since he dared to jump into the Cangmang Sea, he must be relatively familiar with these sea waters. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a rash move. Forget it, there's no need for us to worry about him. Let's focus on heading to Cangmang Island quickly," Lü Yugang said.
Boom! Rumble...
As they were speaking, another colossal tentacle emerged from the seawater nearby, lashing out like lightning towards the Four Directions Trading House's ship.
"Attack together!" Lü Yugang roared. He drew a silver long spear and stabbed fiercely towards the tentacle.
With a *plop*, the tentacle was pierced, and a torrent of blood gushed forth like a fountain, splattering down incessantly, instantly dyeing this patch of sea red.
In the distance, on the Zhao Family's ship, their forces were also fully alert, as four or five tentacles had already attacked them.
Splash…
Suddenly, an enormous sea creature surfaced, appearing on the sea's surface, its fierce, baleful aura towering to the heavens.
It was a massive octopus. The moment it appeared, it simultaneously launched fearsome attacks against both the Four Directions Trading House and the Zhao Family forces.
Its eight gigantic limbs waved and lashed incessantly, churning this stretch of sea into a realm of deafening roars.
"Increase speed! Advance! Shake off this beast!" Lü Yugang bellowed.
On the other side, the Zhao Family forces also sped away.
At this moment, beneath the sea, Ye Yunfei's figure was slowly sinking downwards.
The terrifyingly extreme pressure of the seawater bore down on him like endless mountains, pressing in upon him.
Crack...
Although Ye Yunfei's physical body was incredibly tough, at this moment it actually seemed somewhat unable to withstand the pressure. It creaked loudly, fissures appearing all over as blood flowed.
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei began to chant an ancient ballad, a song sung in melody.
Stanza after stanza of archaic ballad, akin to an incantation, continuously streamed from Ye Yunfei's mouth, traveling outwards along the seawater in all directions.
Crack… crack…
The pressure bearing down on Ye Yunfei's body grew increasingly dreadful. The bones, the organs inside his body began to shatter one after another.
The Greenwood Emperor Body began to circulate wildly within Ye Yunfei, frantically attempting to repair the cracks in his body.
Simultaneously, the Profound Magnetic Glass Body was also activated. A Profound Magnetic Mountain manifested within him, radiating billowing Profound Magnetic Aurora to resist the crushing pressure of the surrounding seawater.
A moment later, suddenly…
"Why haven't they arrived yet? Could my memory of the ballad be inaccurate?" Ye Yunfei mused inwardly.
Right at that moment.
"Human, why do you sing our clan's sacred hymn?"
From the seawater in the distance, a figure slowly emerged.
It was a beautiful young woman with blue hair cascading down her back!
This girl had an elegant and graceful figure and exquisitely delicate facial features, appearing like a perfect work of art!
At the same time, her body emitted a faint blue halo.
Moreover, faintly discernible behind her was what looked like a fish tail!
"The Mermaid Clan, you've finally appeared!" Seeing this girl, Ye Yunfei felt a hint of pleasant surprise.
"Of course I know it. I also know that your Old Clan Leader's condition grows more critical by the day. If he doesn't receive treatment soon, I'm afraid he will die. However, I can save him," Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
"What? You know about the Old Clan Leader's condition too? How do you know?" Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the girl couldn't help but stare wide-eyed.
One must know that this sea area possessed special laws; it was completely isolated from the outside world. Only their kind of sea creatures could live here; external humans fundamentally could not enter. Therefore, there had been absolutely no contact between the sea creatures here and human martial artists from the outside. For this young man to suddenly appear, not only able to sing their clan's ancient ballad, but also aware of the Old Clan Leader's condition—it was rather inconceivable.
"Human, how did you learn of our clan's situation!"
A man with a robust physique appeared in the distance. He too had blue hair, and behind him, a discernible fish tail swayed constantly. This man held a three-pronged steel trident in his hand, eyeing Ye Yunfei with a vigilant gaze.
"Don't ask questions first. If you want to save your Old Clan Leader, take me to him immediately. Otherwise, it won't be long before your Old Clan Leader is surely doomed," Ye Yunfei said.
"Human, can you really save our Old Clan Leader?" The man hesitated for a moment before asking.
The Old Clan Leader was the spiritual pillar of their clan, sacred in the hearts of all its people. No one wanted the Old Clan Leader to die.
"Of course I can," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Alright then. Wait here for now. I must first go and report," the man said, then turned and left.
Only the girl remained there alone.
Due to the special laws governing this sea area, which suppressed humans, he wasn't worried at all that this unfamiliar human would attack the girl.
"Human, how did you enter the sea? Our sea region does not permit humans to enter," the girl's eyes studied Ye Yunfei with curiosity.
"Because I am very familiar with this place, I could enter," Ye Yunfei smiled.
"Very familiar? How is that possible? Have you been here before?" The girl grew even more curious.
"I know it through calculations. I divined with my fingers and thus became familiar with it," Ye Yunfei laughed.
"What!" The girl exclaimed in astonishment.
At that moment…
Rumble…
The seawater in the distance began to churn violently as a large group of figures surged forward.
At the forefront was a seemingly flawless, peerlessly beautiful woman!
"I pay my respects to the Eldest Princess!" The girl immediately stepped forward and bowed upon seeing her.
"Eldest Princess, it is this human. He says he can save the Old Clan Leader," the man from earlier stood beside this Eldest Princess, pointing at Ye Yunfei.
"Human, is this true?" The Eldest Princess fixed her beautiful eyes on Ye Yunfei. Her pupils were both pale blue, giving her an air of exotic beauty.
"Of course it's true. Moreover, the Old Clan Leader's condition is deteriorating further, and your clan has no means to treat him. Why not let me try?" Ye Yunfei smiled.
"But why would you do this? Human, is there something you desire?" The Eldest Princess pondered briefly before asking.
