Sea Palace Halls

Xie Xie furrowed his brows at Gu Yue's question while she merely looked at him with a raised brow.

They had stopped walking when Xie Xie asked the question, an indication of how important this is.

"When I was training with the Jade Dragon King, he told me something that he deemed was necessary. As he kept on telling me I was the guardian of the Dragon God, his protector in the shadows."Said Xie Xie with a sigh causing Gu Yue eyes to slightly narrow.

"He told me Wulin was the heir to the Dragon God, and that's why I needed to know about the duty of the shadow guardian." Said Xie Xie causing Gu Yue to nod her head but she didn't say anything.

"But the Jade Dragon King also told me something else. He said the Silver Dragon King bloodline was also near us and that it could feel and smell their scent over me and Tang Wulin. Naturally, I instantly thought about Na'er, as she seems to be close to being the related one but then he also mentioned. He didn't know why but it felt like there were two of them instead of there being one."Said Xie Xie as his eyes slightly narrowed.

"It didn't take me long to fill in the dots and believe you and Na'er have the Silver Dragon King bloodline."Said Xie Xie as he narrowed his eyes at Gu Yue who still looked at him with a steady gaze.

"It makes a little bit of sense now. Why you were so kind to Tang Wulin, why did you want to get closer to him and so forgiving towards him. After all, in a way, he is your second half, in some odd way."Mutter Xie Xie as he began to scratch his cheek.

"It also makes a lot more sense why Na'er and you only cared mostly about him, while ignoring everyone else. Why you and Na'er were able to cancel his Golden Dragon King suppression and also why both of you could fuse your technique so well."

Gu Yue didn't say anything with Xie Xie going silent as he waited for her to confirm or deny his speculations.

'That annoying dragon.' Thought Gu Yue as she inwardly sighs as Xie Xie wasn't so far off with his theory.

As she didn't merely have the bloodline but was the Silver Dragon King, her and Na'er who were originally one being but split.

For the sake of their plan, that was close to being jeopardized by unforeseen consequences.

"Yes, I have the Silver Dragon King bloodline." Said Gu Yue with a roll of her eyes causing Xie Xie's eyes to widen before shouting.

"I knew it!"

Gu Yue ignored Xie Xie's shameful display while shaking her head and wondering if she should have just said no.

'It's not like wasn't any reason to deny it if it's about the bloodline. As long he doesn't believe I'm the real Silver Dragon King, then it's fine.' Thought Gu Yue.

As she severely doubts Xie Xie would link her having its bloodline to her being the incarnation of the Silver Dragon King. As there have been many remarkable instances of Soul Master having dragon bloodlines and other extremely rare bloodlines.

"Wait a minute, why were you so mean to me back then?" Questioned Xie Xie with a slight glare causing Gu Yue to roll her eyes.

"Because you were a failure of a shadow guardian." Said Gu Yue with a blank look as she shifts her eyes away from Xie Xie.

"That doesn't even make any sense! I doubt you even knew my martial spirit was the Space-Time Dragon!"

"Less talking, we have to move it."

"Don't you walk away from this conversation!"

A streak of light smashed into one of the pillars, yet it only shook the hall with no damage done to the pillar.

"Why are there so many?" Questioned Yuanen Yehui as she ducked under a spear swing before striking the mermen in front of her in the stomach causing him to keel over.

She then side-step a water slash before smashing down with her fist as five rings appeared behind her and were illuminated.

'Fifth Soul-Spirit Skill: Great Earthquake.'

Gravity and flame begin condensing around her fist before it erupted outwards, releasing a shockwave that blew away the surrounding mermen.

The ground below her began to shake, but there was no damage done to it, a testament to the materials that were used to make this palace.

A Razor Eyes Octopus sea beast appeared behind Yuanen Yehui with their nine arms lashing out like a windmill upon her.

Yet Yuanen Yehui was able to react as she quickly twisted her body to evade the attack but then something grasped her ankles.

It was a tentacle from the octopus and with a pull, Yuanen Yehui was forced back into the beast's range.

It began to hack down on her, yet Yuanen didn't choose to raise her guard but instead unleash her rapid strikes.

In the next instant, both of them were colliding with each other. With the octopus striking out like nine terrifying hurricanes moving with unstoppable ferocity and extreme viciousness!

Its savage attacks seemed as if they could smash through a whole mountain as they crashed down upon Yuanen Yehui.

Yet Yuanen Yehui didn't falter, as her strikes were stirring up a tremendous gale as it blew back each of the violent strikes coming towards her.

As one of the arms came down upon her, her hand quickly formed into a claw that grabbed on to the arm before she pulled up.

This caused the sea beast eyes to widen as it went up into the air but it didn't have enough time to perform anything.

As Yuanen thrust out her fist that pulsed with the power of gravity that increases the weight of her fist right before contact.

The beast was sent flying, straight into the ceiling before Yuanen Yehui jumps back, to evade a torrent of water.

"Zhengyu!" Shouted Yuanen Yehui as she thought he would have taken care of all of them by now.

"I'm coming! So impatient, no wonder you two were made for each other."Mutter Yue Zhengyu as his whole figure lit up the whole room.

His light sword appeared in his hand before all of the light elements around him began to compress at the tip of his sword.

Thousands of streaks of light began taking shape into a small orb that was about a single centimeter.

Then with a smirk, Yue Zhengyu thrust his sword forward, send with the light piercing over and through the feet of the Sea Beasts.

This caused most of them to fall, as they all tried to quickly quell the burning of their molecules.

As this was going on, four rings appeared behind Yue Zhengyu as countless lights appeared around him, twinkling like stars.

'Fourth Soul Skill: Heavenly Descent.'

Like a rain shower, the lights came streaking down and piercing through all of the soldiers in the hall of the palace.

It didn't stop until all of them were down for the count, with none of them dying from the mercy of Yue Zhengyu.

"See? Nothing to worry about it."Said Yue Zhengyu with his smile as he came close to Yuanen Yehui.

"We're in a place that randomly teleported us away from each other, with sea beast trying to kill us and you think there is nothing to worry about?" Questioned Yuanen Yehui with a raised brow.

"Yes, nothing to worry about."

"I think Wulin has affected you more than Xie Xie." Said Yuanen Yehui with a sigh causing Yue Zhengyu's lips to twitch.

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing let's move on." Said Yuanen Yehui as she began walking ahead, ignoring Yue Zhengyu's follow up words.

"Wait! Yuanen! It's something to me, explain what you mean!"

"Come on!"

"Interesting." Mutter Tang Wulin as he glances all around.

"Did you find anything?" Questioned Na'er as she looked over at Tang Wulin.

Both of them were able to easily figure out that they got teleported into another area of the sea place that they entered.

With it most likely being a defense mechanism that teleported anyone that wasn't a sea beast.

"Tell me something Na'er, do you feel anything around here? Anything calling out to you or strange?" Questioned Tang Wulin as he looked around.

"Do I feel anything?"

Na'er furrowed her brows before closing her eyes and spreading out her spiritual sense. A few seconds pasts with her not sensing anything, even when she tried sensing the plane energy, something she found hard to do down here.

"No, nothing. Did you sense something?"Questioned Na'er as she knew the plane would be able to help Tang Wulin down here.

"I'm unsure."Mutter Tang Wulin as he began furrowing his brow.

At the moment, Tang Wulin was feeling something calling him, as if there was something very critical to him here. Or maybe it was the Calamity, Jormungandr calling out to him, after sensing he came here.

He typically would have ignored it but for some reason, this feeling wouldn't go away. It was kinda similar to the Dragon Slaying Saber that was calling out to him when he was at the Endless Mountain.

But this time, he didn't hear any sound or calling of anything. He tried asking the dragon kings inside of the jeweled bless but they only told him they can't sense anything too.

As the domain down here seemed to be cut off from them. They mentioned if the Water Dragon King was here, then he might have been able to help but he wasn't in here with them.

'For now, let's see where this is coming from.' Thought Tang Wulin as he shifts his gaze to the west hall, where he felt the calling.

"Come on Na'er." Said Tang Wulin as he began running through one of the halls.

"Coming!" Said Na'er as she swiftly followed Tang Wulin.
