Trouble Brews in North Wave City

Half a day later, Yi Xuan, standing on the ark, finally saw the Sea Clan city in the distance, which was the previously mentioned North Wave City.

At first glance, this city is no different from the cities built by the Human Clan on land, with the same city walls, the same streets, and the same bustling traffic.

However, this city is built on the seabed, and the entire city is seamlessly integrated with the seawater.

Interestingly, the city walls of North Wave City are quite low, only about two meters high.

Therefore, the city wall looks very out of place, but Yi Xuan also understands that this city is, after all, built on the seabed.

The only function of city walls, besides defining the boundaries of a city, was probably no other.

As for defending against enemies on land? That's pure fantasy. What underwater enemy would obediently attack a city? They could just float over the city walls and into the city.

From a distance, the Sea Clan moving about in the city looked no different from the Human Clan on land.

This made Yi Xuan marvel at the greatness of nature.

It's unbelievable that the Sea Clan of this world have such peculiar bodies; even thousands of meters deep in the ocean, they don't feel the terrifying pressure from the sea.

In contrast, even though Yi Xuan and his Human Clan are all cultivators, they cannot move freely in the deep sea like the Sea Clan.

According to Lü Huang, Human Clan either travel in the sea like everyone else now, in arks. Because of the addition of the Sea God Stone, the arks not only automatically isolate the seawater, but also prevent the powerful water pressure from harming the Human Clan inside.

However, once inside the Sea Clan's city, the Ark becomes less convenient to use, especially when moving around the city.

At this time, Human Clan cultivators could only use the Water-Avoidance Instruction. Moreover, because they were in the deep sea, and due to the characteristics of the Eternal Sea itself, even a low-level Law Technique like the Water-Avoidance Instruction Technique consumed an astonishing amount of energy.

This is also why Human Clan rarely clash with the Sea Clan in the Eternal Sea.

Their strength was already suppressed by a level, and they also had to expend their True Essence to maintain the Water-Avoidance Instruction. In this state, even a Tribulation Transcendence Realm expert wouldn't be able to gain any advantage against a water-clan cultivator, let alone an ordinary cultivator.

Soon, the ark carrying Yi Xuan drifted into the city and finally stopped above a shop.

Liu Yusen finally breathed a sigh of relief and addressed the passengers, "Ladies and gentlemen, we've escaped unscathed this time. The ark has come to a stop; please make yourselves at home!"

After hearing Liu Yusen's words, smiles finally appeared on the faces of the passengers.

Many of them did not leave immediately, but instead went up to thank Yi Xuan again. However, quite a few others quickly used their Water-Avoidance Instruction and left the ark without looking back, including the few who had previously made sarcastic remarks to Yi Xuan and Lü Huang.

Yi Xuan didn't mind, and instead returned the greetings to each of the cultivators who thanked him.

Finally, when there were very few people left on the ark, Yi Xuan ordered Lü Huang to lead his men to prepare to leave.

Just as Yi Xuan was about to cast the Water-Avoidance Instruction by making hand Method Formula, Liu Yusen grabbed him, interrupting the spell.

Somewhat puzzled, Yi Xuan looked at Liu Yusen and asked, "Manager Liu, is there anything else?"

"Fellow Daoist Yi, I've said before that I'll definitely thank you properly once we reach North Wave City. I, Liu, cannot be an ungrateful wretch! Below are the shops of our Great Qian Merchant Association in North Wave City. Fellow Daoist Yi, please follow me down so I can show you the hospitality of a good host!"

Yi Xuan, who originally intended to leave, was no longer in a hurry after hearing Liu Yusen's words. After all, the Great Qian Merchant Association was a chamber of commerce of the Great Qian Immortal Kingdom, and its strength and information control were definitely superior to Lü Huang's small chamber of commerce.

Perhaps Liu Yusen knows something about Junior Sister Mu!

Thinking of this, Yi Xuan nodded and said, "Then I and my men will take our leave!"

Seeing that Yi Xuan had agreed, Liu Yusen nodded to his men. Under their control, the ark slowly descended and eventually landed steadily on the roof of the shops below.

Yi Xuan looked down and saw that the shops, which had been surrounded by seawater, were now completely isolated from it.

It seems to be thanks to the Ark; I never imagined the Ark could be used in this way.

Yi Xuan glanced around and noticed that many other shops nearby also had arks moored on top of them, and the shops below were in the same situation as those of the Great Qian Merchant Association of Commerce.

Following Liu Yusen into the shop, Liu Yusen immediately instructed his men to prepare wine and dishes to entertain Yi Xuan and the others.

Meanwhile, deep within the city lord's mansion in North Wave City, a roar shook the entire mansion.

"Song'er! Who is it? Who on earth dares to kill my beloved son! I will make him die!"

Everyone in the city lord's mansion could tell from the voice that the roar came from the city lord himself, but no one dared to go in and comfort him.

After a while, a young Sea Clan dressed in fine clothes rushed into the city lord's secluded chamber.

As soon as the young man entered the secret room, he bowed deeply in reverence.

"Father, what happened that made you so angry?"

After speaking, the young man looked up and was surprised to find that his usually strong father was now in tears, pointing at the high platform behind him with a ferocious expression.

There were three candles on the platform, but strangely, they were still burning in the seawater, and the candlelight was different from usual, it was a deep blue.

The central candle had gone out, while the candles on the left and right were still burning.

Upon seeing the extinguished candle, the young man cried out in alarm, "Younger Brother Song! Father... Younger Brother Song, he..."

"No... no, I was drinking with Younger Brother Song the day before yesterday! How could this be?... Waaah..."

As the young man spoke, he also began to weep. Infected by him, the city lord's tears, which had already stopped, welled up in his eyes again.

The city lord, wiping away his tears with his sleeve, didn't see that the young man in front of him, while weeping, actually had a slight smile on his lips.

Wiping away his tears, the city lord stepped forward and patted his eldest son. "I'll send a message to Sea Emperor City right away. Go and ask everyone in the manor if anyone knows where Song'er went today! Then take men and investigate! Whoever it is, I'll make their whole family pay with their lives for Song'er!"

The young man nodded, wiping away his tears as he quickly left the secret room.

Unexpectedly, no sooner had he left the secret chamber than the city lord's Butler cautiously approached and reported, "Young Master, a Human Clan has arrived outside the city lord's mansion! He says he's looking for you!"

"Human Clan? What do you want with me?"

He said he has news about your bodyguard, Qi Feiyu, to report to you!

"What?"

Upon hearing the name, the young man's eyes narrowed sharply, and his breathing became rapid.

However, he quickly suppressed the news, and even his Butler didn't notice.

"Yes, take him to my study! Also, gather everyone in the manor immediately and ask if anyone knows where Younger Brother Song went today?"

Seeing the Butler leave to carry out his orders, the young man's face showed panic again, and he quickly walked towards his study.
