Chapter 1299: Sudden Appearance of a Sea Emperor
After the giant cocoon was produced, the sound of a beating heart sounded out again. But this time, the ground started trembling in rhythm with the rhythm of the heartbeat.
It was difficult to imagine what would spring forth from the cocoon.
An He gently patted the cocoon before saying to the elderly man behind him, “Grandfather Gu, let’s make haste. Go and fetch the strongest sea-clan expert protecting the whale fall.”
Just as the elderly man was about to nod, he narrowed his eyes in the direction of the far-off seashore.
A giant vortex had appeared at the seashore. At the same moment, the color of the seashore changed from brilliant blue to murky navy.
An energetic yet gentle voice that was still filled with fury said from within the vortex, “I knew the humans would try to stake a claim on the whale fall. Do you really think we from the sea clan are weak?”
Small waves started rolling across the murky navy water. They overlapped and stacked together until they crashed onto the island as a large roll of seawater.
The giant wave engulfed half of the island, smashing apart the Sea Bliss Clan’s fish farm as well. Many of the Angelfish of Bliss took the chance to flee into the sea.
The elderly man behind An He shouted, “A navy sea! I can’t believe the shores near the Radiance Federation belong to a member of the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors. May I ask which clan you’re from? Please reveal yourself. Young Lord He has something to discuss with you.”
Someone sneered menacingly from within the vortex. “A pathetic human like you has no right to gaze upon someone of my status! The whale fall is nature’s gift to the ocean, and all of it belongs to the sea clan. You humans have no right to desire it. Leave now, or the sea will become your final resting place!”
…
An He waved his hand, and a beast even larger than the island appeared in the sea. It had the shape of a cow but was covered with grayish-blue scales.
The gigantic beast was like a mountain that had sprouted from the bottom of the sea.
It let out an ear-splitting bellow when it was summoned. The noise it produced was like thunder. Its bellow silenced the entire sea.
All the seawater that had slammed onto the island retreated back into the sea as the vortex continued to spin.
An He said to the vortex, “I don’t think an unimportant member of the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors has any right to be so proud. If you were important to them, you wouldn’t have been given territory so near to the Radiance Federation. The Radiance Federation and the sea clans have an agreement. According to that agreement, all the resources within a 1,000-kilometer radius around the Radiance Federation belong to the Radiance Federation. This whale fall is directly below Raging Waves City’s island. By the agreement, the whale fall belongs to the owner of the island. Not everything in the sea belongs to the sea clans. If something from the sea belongs to the Radiance Federation, you can’t take it.”
While An He was speaking, a small figure appeared within the vortex. It was dressed in a silvery blue long robe with silvery blue hair reaching its feet. It had blue eyes and a pair of long horns almost the same length as its body protruded from its forehead.
The strange horns were not hard or sharp. Instead, there were more like silvery blue fins that had a clear golden line running down the middle of each of them.
There were two human-like middle-aged women behind this girl. One of them was rotund while the other was skinny. Both of them clearly had the characteristics of aquatic lifeforms.
The slimmer middle-aged woman had translucent hair and was wrapped in an icy aura. The chubbier woman had bright red scales on her menacing face, and several sharp spikes protruded from her back.
However, both of them shared the same grim expression.
The fey that An He had summoned was a declaration of his identity.
It was easy to recognize the aura of feys with the Barren bloodline and only the members of royalty, their disciples, and Radiance Envoys.
Moreover, disciples of members of royalty only had limited access, and not every one of them could obtain one.
Radiance Envoys mostly worked in groups, and it was rare for them to act alone.
Hence, it was all but certain that this young man with the fey with the Barren bloodline was the disciple of a member of royalty.
If so, then it would be bad news!
However, this whale fall was too important. The silvery blue-haired girl decided that she would not allow the young man to snatch away the whale fall no matter what, even if he was the disciple of a member of royalty.
The silvery blue-haired girl’s resolution came from her duty as a member of royalty but also for her own benefit.
The elderly man behind An He frowned when he saw the silvery blue-haired girl with three-meter-long fins sprouting from her head.
An He noticed this, but he did not care and snapped. “I see you’re from the First Emperor Cutlass Clan. I heard that the First Emperor Cutlass Clan’s members had been locked in a constant fight. The First Emperor Cutlass Clan dropped from the top three clans to the bottom five clans a century ago and is only continuing to slip. Now, I understand why. The golden color on your fins is so vibrant, and your bloodline is so elite. Yet, the First Emperor Cutlass Clan gave you a piece of the sea so close to the Radiance Federation to force you to fight for resources with the Radiance Federation. It looks like you’re just collateral damage to the First Emperor Cutlass Clan!”
The elderly man’s lips twitched.
It was fine that Young Master He noticed all this. But did he really have to say it out loud? He’s clearly touching the nerve of this girl from the First Emperor Clan!
The elderly man sensed that the girl from the First Emperor Cutlass Clan was weaker than him.
She was only Immortal III and was even weaker than the two sea king experts standing behind her. However, this did not make the elderly man relax in the slightest.
