Chapter 137 Dark Elf 6
Just then, a child ran over and tugged at Xuan Yuanwu's sleeve, saying, "Big brother, I saw a dark figure heading east. It's very suspicious."
Xuanyuan Wu was startled and took a step back, asking warily, "When did you see it?"
The child seemed a little lost. He glanced at the vendors nearby and then whispered, "A couple of days ago, nobody here dared to go. I didn't dare to say anything."
After saying that, he ran off.
Ling An exclaimed excitedly, "Now that we have a lead, let's go quickly!"
“Yes, Vido is waiting!” Michael urged as well. He was closest to Vido, and he had been extremely anxious lately, both outwardly and inwardly.
Xuanyuan Wu had a feeling something was wrong. He looked at the vendors and asked, "When did all this happen to you?"
The vendor lowered his head, seemingly dejected, and said, "A while ago, I don't remember exactly how long, we ran out of water and resources, and we couldn't even survive. How could we care about the time?"
These words sounded so sorrowful that everyone looked distressed. Xuan Yuanwu suppressed his doubts and decided to explore the eastward. The others followed him eastward, their hearts filled with doubts but also with a hint of anticipation, wondering what awaited them ahead.
While they were away, Qingyu quietly slipped away from Weir and drifted to the top of the tree with the wind.
Gazing into the distance in the direction Xuan Yuanwu and the others had gone, he gained a new understanding of how much the plot was hidden.
In the story, Xuanyuan Wu went to the east and captured a sea monster. He learned from the sea monster that the Coral Heart was the treasure of the mermaid prince in the sea, which was stolen by a maid in order to save her beloved octopus demon.
Xuanyuan Wu and his companions immediately rushed to the sea. After a fierce battle with the merfolk, they gained their trust and successfully joined forces with them to retrieve the Coral Heart, while also obtaining the Water Spirit Essence.
Everything seemed reasonable, and Qingyu had originally intended to cause trouble, but upon closer inspection, she realized something was amiss.
According to the vendors, the loss of the Coral Heart caused the underwater city to become like this, but in Qingyu's eyes, she could see a faint dark power permeating the entire city.
It was so faint it was like air; if Qingyu hadn't been so perceptive, she probably wouldn't have noticed it at all.
"...So the plot is just the surface?" The system's mainframe was burning up, but it barely understood a little bit.
It always considered the plot as a cheat code, but it never expected that even a cheat code could lie!
Qingyu chuckled a few times, her tone wistful, "Actually, there's something wrong with what the vendors said. The city suffered a great calamity; it's impossible for them not to remember the time. And have you noticed that after entering the city, there wasn't a single person with cultivation?"
The underwater city may not be the most famous, but it is quite well-known. How could it not have any powerful figures?
Unless all of this is a trap, a trap set by the Lord of Darkness for Xuanyuan Wu!
Even the subsequent plot was arranged by him!
"...So, will you continue to interfere with Xuanyuan Wu?" The system was a little scared. It hadn't expected there to be so many twists and turns. But what it was thinking was that if Qingyu interfered in these matters, the so-called Lord of Darkness wouldn't let her off the hook either.
The system seemed a little scared, but Qingyu was not afraid at all; in fact, there was a hint of excitement in her eyes. "Of course! Otherwise, how boring would it be?"
Moreover, the thought of disrupting the original plan gave Qingyu a destructive pleasure.
She was born unable to bear seeing others succeed.
Since she already had her suspicions, Qingyu wanted to see how things would develop, so she continued to wait at the treetop.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before news of Xuanyuan Wu and his companions defeating the sea monster reached the city.
Qingyu watched coldly. Not a single person in the city was happy. Instead, everyone subconsciously hugged the person next to them, their eyes filled with sorrow.
Hmm, something's wrong.
This place is no longer fun. Qingyu flashed and reappeared on Will's shoulder. The latter, who had been absent-minded, saw the petals, his eyes trembled, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but turn up.
"You're back..." he said silently, a tender look appearing in his eyes.
Qingyu's heart skipped a beat, and she mischievously blew a breeze into his ear, carrying a fragrant scent. Will blushed instantly, attracting the attention of others.
"Will, are you so hot? Why is your face so red?" Michael asked, puzzled.
Ling An laughed heartily, "You're not thinking about pretty girls, are you?"
Will glanced at Xuan Yuanwu, lowered his eyes and nodded, then said softly amidst everyone's surprised gazes, "I have someone I like, and I'll introduce her to you all later." He added jokingly at the end, "I just hope Xuan Yuanwu isn't too charming and doesn't steal her from me."
Despite his words, Xuan Yuanwu could sense his hostility, which made Xuan Yuanwu somewhat suspicious.
During this time, he had already noticed that something was wrong with Will. The man was naturally a bit dull, but he wasn't so absent-minded all the time, and sometimes he was in a mood as cheerful as a spring breeze...
This isn't right.
Realizing that Will was hiding something from them, Xuan Yuanwu looked at Will with a somewhat ambiguous expression. "Don't worry, I will wish you all the best."
Will was not at ease. He believed that even someone as proud as Xuanyuan Wu would be tempted by a beauty like that.
He said that today simply to lay the groundwork in advance, hoping to create some room for maneuver for himself in the future.
It was also for...
Express your feelings to a beautiful woman.
Will's mood was in turmoil, and Qingyu could sense it, but what did it have to do with her?
She quietly stayed there and followed the group of people to the front of the Merfolk.
The group was greeted by maids from the Merfolk tribe. It must be said that all Merfolk are naturally beautiful, and even a maid was a beautiful presence.
"Our prince said you are not welcome here."
The maid's expression was extremely cold, making the group quite uncomfortable. Ling'an retorted, "We're here to help him!"
The maid remained unmoved, saying, "No matter what you've come for, the prince will not see any guests."
Having been rejected by the City of Beauties before, and now being rejected again, even with his patience, Xuan Yuanwu felt humiliated at this moment. His eyes immediately turned cold, "This matter is of great importance, and he cannot refuse to see me."
After saying that, he immediately made his move, attempting to force his way in.
The maid was shocked and reached out to stop them, and a conflict immediately broke out between the two.
The commotion caused the seawater to ripple, which also alerted the merfolk inside. Soon, countless merfolk surged out, but each of them bore wounds, as if they had just been through a major battle.
Xuanyuan Wu's body was tense, ready to fight at any moment.
However, at this moment, the merfolk parted to make way for a tall and exceptionally beautiful merfolk who slowly swam over.
He exuded a menacing aura, his blue eyes like unfathomable abysses, sending chills down one's spine.
"Who is making a noise here?"
Upon seeing Xuan Yuanwu and the others, he scoffed disdainfully, "So it's you... I told you I wouldn't see you, yet you still dared to force your way in?"
Xuan Yuanwu guessed that the person in front of him was the prince of the merfolk. He suppressed his anger and stepped forward. "Your Highness, your clan is facing a crisis, and we have come to help you. Why are you turning us away?"
The prince sneered, "The affairs of my merfolk are none of the business of outsiders."
Xuanyuan Wu patiently explained, "I see that all of your clansmen are injured, which means that the force that is trying to seize the Coral Heart is too powerful. A single clan cannot resist it. Only by uniting can we succeed."
But the prince seemed not to listen, his brows furrowed with impatience. With a wave of his hand, a huge wave crashed towards them.
Xuanyuan Wu did not want to fight, but the prince's moves were ruthless, so he had no choice but to retaliate.
As the two exchanged words, the surrounding air currents became turbulent.
Just when the battle was at its most intense, Qingyu was being protected by Weir, but due to the large waves in the sea, she accidentally drifted away.
Qingyu immediately transformed, her indistinct figure meeting Xuanyuan Wu's gaze. The latter's eyes widened, and for a moment he wondered if he was hallucinating.
