"What are we going into the sea for?"
Li Chen looked at High Person Clear Void, his expression full of puzzlement.
As everyone knew-or perhaps did not-Li Chen was no good at fighting underwater, and he was rather cautious by nature.
Unless there was a need, he really could not be bothered to enter the sea. That was why he had stayed in Tide-Sound City all this time.
"Your Majesty, a forbidden zone has appeared in the deep sea. We Human Race cultivators cannot venture into it, which has slowed our exploration considerably. I intend to go down and take a look. A few old friends happen to be here, after all. As you know, I've never been underwater."
High Person Clear Void answered with a perfectly straight face. Most likely, his Sects' disciples had encountered obstructions while diving, and he wanted to blaze a trail.
He had already invited Helan Xuan and Late Breeze True Person. With three gathered and one spot empty, he had thought of Li Chen.
There were also several Saint Realm cultivators from the Heavenly Strategy Dynasty's Eastern Region here. It was not that High Person Clear Void did not want to invite them; he simply did not know them well.
At least he and Helan Xuan had fought in a war together. As for Late Breeze True Person, that went without saying. They were all among friends, with no need to worry about being stabbed in the back.
