1377 Gentleman, Prime Emperor Yu Tian
Prime Emperor Lan Ji explained awkwardly, “The moment Four-Armed Clansmen enter the water, our limbs become uncoordinated. Therefore, after we enter the water, we usually spin forward like screws with our four arms under our feet…” Because he felt that it was too funny, Prime Emperor Lan Ji looked embarra.s.sed.
“I see. Then…” Sheng Xiao smiled as he asked hesitantly, “If we meet Prime Emperor Yu Tian and something unexpected happens, can you still fight? ”
“That’s not a problem,” Prime Emperor Lan Ji said. “We can fight in the sea, but we can’t swim.”
“Alright.” After Sheng Xiao transformed into the Sky Dragon again, his huge body circled above the sea as he looked at Prime Emperor Lan Ji sternly and said, “Sir, I’ll carry you down.”
!!“Thank you.”
After Prime Emperor Lan Ji flew up and landed on Sheng Xiao’s back, he hugged Sheng Xiao’s bare back tightly and was carried into the deep sea.
Sheng Xiao quickly caught up with Yu Huang and the others. “Follow me!”
The few of them followed behind Sky Dragon and dived deep into the sea. After diving for about five hundred meters, they saw a sunken valley filled with aquatic gra.s.s. In the crack of the valley, there was a pomegranate tree with curved branches. There was indeed an orange-red pomegranate flower on the tree.
After Sheng Xiao put Prime Emperor Lan Ji down, he walked to the pomegranate tree and touched the flower. Then, he said to Yu Huang and the others, “It’s a bouquet formed by spiritual energy.” This tree was fake, and so was this flower. They were spiritual energy marks that Prime Emperor Yu Tian had created with his spiritual energy and placed here to guide them.
After Sheng Xiao picked the flower, the pomegranate tree in the gap disappeared.
Sheng Xiao said to the bouquet of flowers in a low voice, “Prime Emperor Yu Tian, I’m here as promised. Please appear.” Then, Sheng Xiao let go of the flower. The flower swam forward along the undercurrent at the bottom of the sea and disappeared quickly.
Seeing that the flower had disappeared, Yin Rong frowned and said suspiciously, “Could Prime Emperor Yu Tian be lying to us?”
Yu Huang wasn’t sure what Prime Emperor Yu Tian wanted to do, so she didn’t answer Yin Rong’s question.
Boom!
Suddenly, a circular hole was blasted in the middle of the stone wall that connected to the valley behind Sheng Xiao. The hole wasn’t wide, only wide enough for two people to swim in side by side.
Staring at the hole, Sheng Xiao and the others didn’t dare to act rashly.
After Prime Emperor Lan Ji walked to the entrance of the cave, he placed his hand on the entrance of the cave and sensed it. After confirming that there was no danger inside, he nodded at Sheng Xiao and the others. “There is indeed a spiritual energy fluctuation inside, but it’s very weak. It’s not a threat to us, so we can enter.”
“Thank you, sir.”
Sheng Xiao pulled Yu Huang and swam into the cave first. Ye Qingyang and Yin Rong followed closely behind while Prime Emperor Lan Ji was in charge of bringing up the rear.
The five of them had just pa.s.sed through the entrance of the cave when the cave behind them closed again.
Yu Huang and the others were in the deep sea at the bottom of the mountain. Their surroundings were dark, so they swam towards the top. Sheng Xiao wanted to carry Prime Emperor Lan Ji, but Prime Emperor Lan Ji waved his hand and said to him, “It’s dark here. They can’t see me.”
With that, Prime Emperor Lan Ji flipped his body and swam up quickly with his head and four arms facing down and his legs on top.
He was very fast and left Yu Huang and the others behind in the blink of an eye.
Ye Qingyang only saw a black shadow spinning and disappearing. He wiped his face as he asked Yu Huang and the others in surprise, “What was that? An octopus?”
Yu Huang, who had overheard Prime Emperor Lan Ji and Sheng Xiao’s conversation, shook her head and said, “I don’t know. Perhaps.”
Soon, they saw some dim light.
After the few of them quickly swam out of the water and raised their heads from the water, they discovered that they were inside the mountain they had seen earlier. The seawater had almost filled the entire hollow in the mountain, but the bottom of the mountain peak was dry. Perhaps it was because the terrain here was too high, but the seawater could no longer pour in.
Below the peak of the mountain, some naturally formed small cracks revealed sunlight from the outside and lit up the mountain range hidden inside the mountain.
After Yu Huang and the others climbed ash.o.r.e, they realized that there was actually a natural cave hidden there. There was a dirty blanket in the cave, and the ground was filled with the bones of sea fish. However, they didn’t see anyone living in this cave.
Could the owner of this cave be Prime Emperor Yu Tian?
Why was the dignified Prime Emperor Yu Tian hiding in a small cave in the Blue Serene Sea?
Suddenly, a pained and strange sound came from the depths of the cave.
Hearing the commotion, Lan Ji took the initiative to walk to the front.
He brought Sheng Xiao and the others to the secret room in the cave carefully.
It was pitch black inside and nothing could be seen.
Yu Huang took out a flashlight and shone it in the direction of the sound.
The sudden appearance of the dazzling light frightened the ‘thing’ inside. That thing subconsciously extended its arms and shielded its eyes.
Under the flashlight, Sheng Xiao and the others finally saw the ‘thing’ clearly.
It was actually a person who had his legs cut off and only had half his body and a pair of arms left! It seemed that his hair hadn’t been cut for many years. He used his arms to block his eyes, so no one could see his appearance clearly.
Seeing this scene, everyone held their breaths and didn’t dare to make a sound.
In the end, Prime Emperor Lan Ji was the first to walk over. After he squatted down beside the ‘thing’, he ignored its struggles and resistance as he forcefully pulled its arm down, revealing its appearance.
It was an old face.
That face looked familiar.
Prime Emperor Lan Ji stared at the man for a moment. Then, he shouted in disbelief, “Prime Emperor Lan Ji! You…” Prime Emperor Lan Ji was stunned and sat on the ground in shock. Then, he shook his head as he said in disbelief, “How did you become like this?!”
The last time Prime Emperor Lan Ji saw Prime Emperor Yu Tian was two hundred years ago. At that time, they were partic.i.p.ating in the Prime Emperor Seminar together. As Prime Emperor Yu Tian and Prime Emperor Jiuxiao walked out of the door together, Prime Emperor Yu Tian’s handsome looks and otherworldly temperament made Prime Emperor Lan Ji envious.
To the experts of the Four-Armed Clan, who were uncultured and generally ugly, a man like Prime Emperor Yu Tian was someone they would never be able to become.
But who would dare to believe that Prime Emperor Yu Tian, who was praised as a ‘peerless gentleman’ by the cultivation world back then because of his extraordinary temperament and righteous character, would actually become like this?!
