The only person it could cling to here was Lin Yuan.
Silver Umber Black hoped that it could become the reigning Sea Emperor. In order to fulfill this hope, it could not depend on itself.
When Lin Yuan ordered his pinnacle Immortal combatant to kill Shark Awn, he said he would make the First Emperor Shark Clan pay the price. Given that he was the Moon Empress' disciple and controlled pinnacle Immortal combat power, Lin Yuan had the right to make good on his word.
If he carried out what he said, the factions would truly clash with the sea clans.
Silver Umber Black had to do whatever it could to grab on to this person that had the capability to wreak havoc on the sea clans.
Silver Umber Black steeled itself and decided to toss away its pride as an expert. To the shock of the two sea-king experts, Silver Umber Black kneeled before Lin Yuan and said, "Lord, I have something to say."
