Ye Luyao was born in the endless blue sea and had yearned for land since he was a child. Therefore, he knew the power of the Sea Dragon Clan on land very well. It was almost effortless to find Bai Zeyan.
When Bai Zeyan saw Ye Luyao in the crowd, his expression changed drastically and he almost knelt down in front of her and cried.
However, under the control of Ye Luyao's sharp eyes, he did not do so. He only came to her side silently and then looked at her firmly. The meaning was very clear.
The incident that happened in the northern waters of Wanshui City in the past month had driven him crazy with anxiety. Fortunately, Ye Luyao finally returned to Wanshui City safely.
"I need the help of the Hidden Dragon Guards." Ye Luyao looked at Bai Zeyan and said.
"I will!"
After Bai Zeyan finished speaking excitedly, under Ye Luyao's orders, he set out to contact the other Hidden Dragon Guards in the city. That night, Bai Zeyan brought thirty-two Hidden Dragon Guards to a building on the west side of the City Lord's mansion. The warehouse was a place borrowed by Tang Yunqing from the city lord's subordinates.
When Bai Zeyan led the Hidden Dragon Guards to Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao, they realized that Bai Zeyan was actually the leader of the Hidden Dragon Guards in Wanshui City.
Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be, because Bai Zeyan was only at the third level, and his strength was too low to be able to handle important tasks.
Ye Luyao didn’t hesitate and directly questioned the matter.
Hearing Ye Luyao’s question, Bai Zeyan sighed and said, "A month ago, Your Highness, Princess, your position was exposed, and all the Sea Dragon Guards in Wanshui City knew about it. In order to reduce your danger, the commander ordered all the Hidden Dragons to stop all work and try their best to stop Hailongwei, resulting in heavy casualties. Even the commander died eight days ago, leaving only thirty-three of our brothers, and I became their leader."
"…"
After hearing this, Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the many Sea Dragon Guards they had encountered before were outnumbered, and most of them were injured.
"Thank you."
After a few seconds of silence, Tang Yunqing thanked Bai Zeyan, and his doubts about them were slightly reduced.
Ye Luyao said solemnly, "I will make them pay the price! I will also make your friends get the rewards they deserve."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Bai Zeyan cried with gratitude.
The many Hidden Dragon Guards behind him also took this opportunity to express their gratitude to Ye Luyao.
Ye Luyao took a deep look at them, as if he wanted to memorize their appearances in his heart. After a while, he looked at Bai Zeyan again and said, "The purpose of our coming to Wanshui City is to find and search for something. Later I will explain to you the abnormalities that will occur in the ruins in more detail, and then you can exchange information with the other Sea Dragon Guards to see which location is most likely."
"Your Highness, please tell me." Bai Zeyan said seriously.
"The water element is very concentrated, and there are many strange phenomena related to sea dragons. This may be the habitat of monsters, and the surrounding environment may be very remote…"
While Ye Luyao was explaining to Bai Zeyan, Tang Yunqing stood aside and carefully observed Bai Zeyan’s expression, trying to see some clues.
It should be noted that Ye Luyao asked Bai Zeyan to assess the next exploration target, which was equivalent to handing over the lives of himself, him, and two hundred other humans in the jurisdiction to Bai Zeyan's hands rebelling against the Sea Dragon Emperor, then they would face the biggest encounter in their lives. Danger is inevitable if he is not careful. He did not want Bai Zeyan to be too involved in such an important matter, but the external threat forced him to trust Ye Luyao, Bai Zeyan, and Yinlongwei.
After a while, Ye Luyao finished explaining everything. Bai Zeyan did not communicate with his subordinates, but directly told Ye Luyao the name of the place.
"Sea of Skeletons!" Bai Zeyan said excitedly, "The place you are talking about is probably the Sea of Skeletons!"
"Sea of skeletons?" Ye Luyao raised his eyebrows.
"The Sea of Skeletons is located more than 700 miles north of Wanshui City. The water element is very rich. Storms rage all year round and it is very foggy. Adventurers often die in it. To this day, the coast bordering the Desert of Death. There are still many dead bones scattered, hence the name. These two areas are full of threats, monsters roam everywhere, and sea dragon mirages often appear."
After hearing this, Ye Luyao and Tang Yunqing looked at each other and felt a little excited, because judging from Bai Zeyan's description, the Sea of Skeletons was indeed very likely to be the entrance to Longting.
Ye Luyao couldn't help but snorted at Tang Yunqing, which naturally meant that Bai Zeyan's words proved that his decision was correct. If he didn't believe it and didn't carefully explain to him the vision that Longting would bring, he would have to find the skeleton. I don't know how much time I have to waste.
"Let's go to the Skeleton Sea."
Ye Luyao and Tang Yunqing made a decision as soon as they looked at each other. Then Ye Luyao said to Bai Zeyan, "Tonight you go buy your travel necessities and make full preparations. We will be at the North City Gate at nine o'clock tomorrow morning to gather."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Bai Zeyan and his thirty-three subordinates received the order and left the warehouse.
After Bai Zeyan and the others left, Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao took the jade plaque and went to the special office to recruit fifty law enforcers and one hundred and fifty sages who would leave tomorrow for the necessities in the city.
We returned to the hotel to rest at around ten o'clock in the evening.
At nine o'clock the next morning, the two people appeared at the North City Gate on time.
The thirty-three Hidden Dragon Guards and two hundred law enforcers and sages had all arrived and were waiting quietly.
After the two arrived, they immediately set off without much delay.
With more than two hundred people traveling together, it was naturally impossible to hide like the two of them, but with more than two hundred people traveling together, Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao did not need to hide at all.
Because facing such a large team, ordinary fifth and sixth level water tribes and small-scale Sea Dragon Guards would not dare to provoke them, and seventh level water tribes and large-scale Sea Dragon Guards might not be their opponents.
After two months of experience, although Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao's realm levels have not improved, their combined fighting strength has reached the peak of the sixth level. There are more than two hundred second and third-level hidden dragon guards, law enforcement laws, and sages, not to mention defeating and killing the seventh-level water tribe, but being defeated is absolutely impossible, so the group of people moved forward steadily with almost no hindrance.
The distance of seven hundred miles took seven days for the group.
Although the Skeleton Sea is called the sea, it is actually just a large lake. However, before the Great Cataclysm, when the Continent of Law had not yet formed, it was indeed an ocean. Therefore, many surviving sea creatures turned into seas under the influence of evil spirits.
The Skeleton Sea borders the Death Desert, with blue water on one side and golden desert on the other. It is like a beautiful picture scroll that appears in front of Tang Yunqing's eyes, which shocked him. The killing intent is overwhelming.
But no matter how dangerous the place is, as long as there are benefits, humans will gather.
Not long after the group looked at the Skeleton Sea and the Death Desert from a distance, they saw a large camp on the horizon. The camp consisted of dirt houses and tents as far as the eye could see, adventurers and mercenaries. Almost all of them were law enforcers of level three and above, and there were also many controllers of level four and five. They all came here to explore before the disaster happened.
When Tang Yunqing and his entourage of more than 200 people arrived at the camp, they immediately caused a commotion, but they didn't waste much time. They spent money to rent a boat, buy necessities for going out to sea, and collect relevant information. They set sail in just two days.
The Skeleton Sea was very large, and it would take a long time to search the entire sea area, so there was no time to waste.
Time passed quickly, and it was already ten days later.
In the past ten days, Tang Yunqing and the others did not find any clues in the sea, but their strength had improved a little.
At the same time, through this period of peaceful coexistence, the humbleness and obedience of the Hidden Dragon Guards finally made Tang Yunqing no longer hostile to them.
Ye Luyao was full of expectations every day, but in the end he was disappointed and gradually became anxious.
Days like this seemed to continue for a while, until on the thirteenth day, a law enforcer on the deck suddenly came to him excitedly and told him that there was a miraculous phenomenon in the sky.
When Ye Luyao received the notice, the sea dragon beads on Tang Yunqing's code suddenly vibrated slightly. When they all went to the deck, they saw a huge city in the sky. The city was deep but clear, each building was as big as a mountain. Judging from the style of the building, it should have been built by the sea dragon race before the Great Cataclysm.
There are walrus tribe, sea lion tribe, sea horse tribe, sea shark tribe, sea snake tribe, sea eel tribe, sea butterfly tribe... almost all sea races are included and coexist peacefully.
Each of them is so vivid, not like a dead thing, but alive.
"Dragon Court!"
When he saw the vision in the sky, Ye Luyao was so excited that he immediately confirmed that it was the Ancient Dragon Courtyard that the Hailong Emperor had told him about since childhood.
When Ye Luyao's voice sounded in his ears, Tang Yunqing carefully observed the "mirage" scene. Although it was just a mirage, the God-given code was still very shaken, producing a magical power that attracted divine power from all directions and made his cultivation level increase slightly.
It is reasonable for law enforcers to absorb fundamental divine power through the God-given code to train and improve their strength. However, in addition, different God-given codes also have different special ways to improve their cultivation.
For example, law enforcers who master the Code of Truth can gain power by digging up the truth, finding unknown ways, and adapting to the meaning given by the Book of Truth itself, namely through learning, growing, understanding, and using knowledge and emotions, etc. The Code of Courage is about training the spirit of courage. And so on and so forth.
While Tang Yunqing's cultivation level increased after seeing the mirage of the Dragon Court, a large number of law enforcers, sages, and hidden dragon guards around him also looked up and were shocked and speechless.
The Hidden Dragon Guards were extremely shocked. Although they had the blood of the Sea Dragon Clan, they had never been to Sea Dragon City or Sea Dragon Emperor City, let alone hearing and seeing the legendary Dragon Palace with their own eyes, weren't they shocked?
The image in the sky lasted for about two minutes before finally disappearing behind the thick fog.
After that, Ye Luyao immediately found Tang Yunqing and asked him about Hai Longzhu's movements. Tang Yunqing immediately called out the code and observed Hai Longzhu carefully, but did not get any response. However, Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao were not disappointed, because the scene just now confirmed to them that the Dragon Palace must be in the sea of skeletons, and it was only a matter of time before they found the entrance to the Dragon Palace.
"Thanks to the Hidden Dragon Guards!"
Ye Luyao couldn't help but admire the subordinates sent by his father.
After hearing this, Tang Yunqing looked around, and suddenly discovered that the Hidden Dragon Guard who was still on the deck earlier had disappeared, and a warning sign suddenly appeared in his heart.
