Chapter 2370 - 2370 The Special Part of the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen!
2370 The Special Part of the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen!
Lin Yuan fixed his sharp gaze on the almost-dead Extreme Ocean and said, “I’ll ask, and you’ll respond. If you give me the answer I want, I can spare your life.”
Extreme Ocean thought that his consciousness would slowly become blurrier until he eventually fully blacked out.
He was one of the royal attendants of Grace Sacred Hall, yet he was about to be reduced to a floating corpse in the sea.
This voice was like his savior, and Extreme Ocean looked over in Lin Yuan’s direction.
But what Lin Yuan said caused Extreme Ocean’s chest to tighten. It turned out that this was the person who had caused him to be ambushed!
However, Extreme Ocean did not understand why the five Samsara Realm Dictators were listening to this person.
Extreme Ocean had said something similar to enemies and incompetent subordinates many times in the past. He had also promised to spare their lives, but none of those times had he honored his word. Extreme Ocean was terrified that he would end up with the same fate.
But in spite of his fear, there was only one path he could go down at this point because he had no leverage for negotiation or the ability to fight back. All he could do was whatever the other side wanted!
Extreme Ocean put on a humble attitude that he did not even exhibit to the two rulers of Grace Sacred Hall and said gently, “Ask me anything you want, and I’ll reply without holding anything back! I hope you’ll spare my life! I can work for you just like them!”
From Evil Source, Lin Yuan understood the meaning of putting on a fearsome demeanor in daily life but retreating into humility when push came to shove.
It was clear that Extreme Ocean was very similar to Evil Source.
Extreme Ocean enjoyed his long life, basked in luxury in the water world, and did not want to die so easily. It went without saying that he would fit nail and tooth for the chance to survive.
Lin Yuan did not bother with courtesy and asked, “Did the four of you harm the rulers of Grace Sacred Hall?”
Extreme Ocean’s expression changed when he heard what Lin Yuan said, and his gaze instinctively shifted to Isa and the rest.
How did this lifeform from another world know about the secrets of this world? He had to have found out from Isa and the rest!
Regardless of what Isa and the rest said, they had to have the same thoughts to lead this lifeform from another world to make such a speculation.
This thought caused Extreme Ocean’s urge to kill to flare up.
He would have gobbled up Isa and the rest if he was not at Lin Yuan’s mercy.
Isa and the other Turning Wheel Realm Dictators had been watching Extreme Ocean’s every move closely. The biggest threat to them now was Extreme Ocean.
When Extreme Ocean said he would submit to Lin Yuan, Isa and the rest felt extremely disturbed.
If they served the same master in the future and were given the power that Extreme Ocean possessed, Extreme Ocean would keep them under his thumb even if he dared not kill them.
When Isa noticed Extreme Ocean’s chilling gaze on her, she prayed that he would not make it out of this alive.
Extreme Ocean could never condone such private speculations under his nose.
If he made an admission, he would become a traitor to Grace Sacred Hall.
Loyalty was vital in the water world.
In a world where faith power was the foundational energy system, disloyalty was the equivalent of abandoning this energy system.
When Pregnant Poison had betrayed Evil Source, she had done so to join Lin Yuan but was still scorned by East Glow and Everything. Even external Dictators and Apostles started to look down on her.
That was in the marsh world, in a situation where the Samsara Realm Dictators fought for themselves and were not inclined to form alliances.
In the water world, the Dictators were split into two large factions.
The loyalty within Mermaid Forbidden Sea was based on their bloodline ties, while the loyalty in Grace Sacred Hall was solely based on the Samsara Realm Dictators’ own will.
When Extreme Ocean did not respond immediately, Lin Yuan told Eternal Source behind him, “It looks like those attacks did not help him see the reality of the situation. Eternal Source, help him to fully wake up!”
Eternal Source immediately stepped forward.
When Extreme Ocean heard what Lin Yuan said, the last of his worries were pounded away, and he said loudly, “I’ll talk! Their deaths are indeed related to us four royal attendants!”
Extreme Ocean’s response verified Lin Yuan’s guess and also caused astonishment to spread across the faces of Isa and the other three.
Guesses were just guesses. It was a completely different matter once they were verified.
This explained why they stopped holding occasional meetings ever since their disappearance.
The four royal attendants had sealed up the seas around Grace Sacred Hall for centuries.
Isa had yet to be fully reliant on Extreme Ocean back then. She had been a servant to the imperial concubine.
Isa could be certain that there had been no significant conflicts in Grace Sacred Hall.
Extreme Ocean said that the two rulers had died. Apparently, they had been killed by their four trusted royal attendants!
The four royal attendants had to have schemed for a long time in order to work together to kill the two rulers.
Although Extreme Ocean had already answered his question, Lin Yuan did not stop there.
Eternal Source continued using his source totem’s strength to ravage Extreme Ocean. Extreme Ocean could feel his injuries slowly becoming more serious, and he began letting out howls of agony.
For the next 20 minutes, Extreme Ocean felt the terror of his life being stripped away.
Extreme Ocean had still been worried and hesitant when he gave his reply. This meant that he was still being uncooperative despite being in such a sorry state. This would cause Lin Yuan to run up against more obstacles when he tried to ask further questions.
As Lin Yuan listened to Extreme Ocean’s weakening cries of agony, he shouted to Eternal Source to halt before asking Extreme Ocean, “This time, when I ask you a question, I hope you’ll respond within five seconds.”
Lin Yuan’s call to halt was like a blessing from an angel who had saved him. But what he said next was like the murmurings of a devil.
How could Extreme Ocean have the courage not to respond to Lin Yuan?
Extreme Ocean was sure that his torture would persist if he did not respond to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan did not give Extreme Ocean the time to give a response before he went on to ask, “You killed the two rulers of Grace Sacred Hall. But what about their daughter?”
If Lin Yuan had asked this question previously, Extreme Ocean would never have answered, regardless of how destitute he was.
But after being progressively eroded away, Extreme Ocean could not hold on anymore and grunted. “The daughter’s situation is special. Rather than saying she was born from the two rulers, she is better described as the product of the two rulers’ fusion project.”
