At this moment, a fat man with a fat head and big ears ran out of the newly built Dragon Palace in the distance.
With just a glance from afar, Li Zhe recognized that this person was Guo Yuan, the master of Dongjiao Water Palace whom Li Zhe met when he returned from the turbulent current!
The smile that had always been on Guo Yuan's face was gone now, and he seemed to be very depressed.
Guo Yuan's cultivation level has not changed much. It is still at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, but it seems that it is not far from the middle stage.
Li Zhe did not take the initiative to say hello, but looked at Guo Yuan from a distance.
Guo Yuan seemed to have just finished a job in the newly built Dragon Palace, and now he drove away with the light as soon as he came out.
The direction of departure is the direction of Dongjiao Water Mansion.
Dongjiao Water Palace is one of the remote water palaces of the Dragon Palace. Starting from here, depending on Guo Yuan's strength, it will take about two days to reach it at the fastest.
Therefore, Li Zhe did not rush to stop him, but waited until Guo Yuan left and followed Guo Yuan quietly.
With Li Zhe's current strength, Guo Yuan would naturally not be able to notice Li Zhe's presence if he followed Guo Yuan.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, Guo Yuan had already been walking for half a day.
Now this distance is hundreds of miles away from the Dragon Palace.
Li Zhe also spent half a day confirming that no one was following Guo Yuan and that Guo Yuan had not been kidnapped.
After everything was confirmed, Li Zhe thought, and a wave of space fluctuations instantly enveloped Li Zhe's body. The next moment, Li Zhe appeared directly hundreds of meters in front of Guo Yuan.
At this moment, Guo Yuan was in an extremely depressed mood. He was absent-mindedly focused on rushing along the way and did not notice Li Zhe's existence at all.
It wasn't until Li Zhe was approaching that he suddenly realized that there was a figure in front of him.
"who?!"
Guo Yuan's figure instantly stopped and he shouted angrily.
Then he saw clearly that Li Zhe was looking at him with a smile but not a smile.
"Consort...consort? You're back? Great!"
In an instant, Guo Yuan's face showed a hint of joy, and he kept talking to Li Zhe.
Hearing this, Li Zhe nodded slightly, and then said softly: "I saw the nearby Water Mansion, and it was all washed with blood. I also saw the new Dragon Palace. What exactly happened?"
After listening to Li Zhe's words, the joy on Guo Yuan's face instantly dissipated. He glanced around, and then whispered to Li Zhe: "Can my consort follow me back to Shuifu to discuss this matter?"
Seeing Guo Yuan's nervous look, Li Zhe also nodded slightly, but didn't say much. He just waved his hand and wrapped Guo Yuan's body, and then held the escape light and led him towards the East Jiao Water Mansion. Speeding away in the direction.
In the blink of an eye, another half day passed, and Li Zhe took Guo Yuan back to the gate of Dongjiao Water Mansion.
Today, the Dongjiao Water Mansion looks the same as before. There are still several shrimp soldiers and crab generals guarding the door.
Seeing Guo Yuan return, all the soldiers and generals breathed a sigh of relief, and then they respectfully shouted to Guo Yuan: "Welcome the master of the palace back to the palace!"
Guo Yuan waved his hand casually, then turned around and said respectfully to Li Zhe on one side: "Follow me, Prince Consort."
While talking, Guo Yuan led Li Zhe to the door of Shuifu Mansion.
After arriving, Li Zhecai discovered that Guo Yuan had actually arranged a poor defensive formation around his water mansion.
This formation can be broken by any cultivator in the Golden Core Realm or even the late stage of the Virtual God Realm.
"There's nothing I can do. I just followed the formation in the ancient book and fiddled with it for a long time before I came up with this formation."
Apparently Guo Yuan noticed that Li Zhe discovered this formation and said with a wry smile.
Li Zhe nodded slightly, but didn't say much. He just followed Guo Yuan into the water palace.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the main hall of the mansion. After Guo Yuan dismissed all the soldiers and generals, he closed the door of the main hall and walked up to Li Zhe with a bitter look on his face.
"You have also seen that now, half of the forty-eight water palaces in the East China Sea have suffered. The remaining ones are ordinary palace masters similar to me. Anyone with stronger strength has been destroyed."
Guo Yuan grimaced and said to Li Zhe, "I built this water house just in case."
"Stop complaining and tell me the whole thing from beginning to end."
Li Zhe took a deep breath and whispered to Guo Yuan.
Immediately, Guo Yuan gave a bitter laugh and then spoke in a low voice.
It turned out that since Li Zhe left, the news that Dragon Palace would return at any time had spread throughout the Donghai Sea Mansion.
The masters of the Water Palace who had started to have their own thoughts also temporarily stopped their thoughts of becoming the new king of the East China Sea.
However, as time went by, the Dragon Palace never came back, and finally some water palace masters couldn't bear it anymore.
A total of seven water palace masters have united, saying that they will take charge of the East China Sea on behalf of Dragon Palace before Dragon Palace returns.
In fact, everyone knows that their original intention is to become the king, but they say this just to prevent them from being wiped out by the Dragon King after the Dragon Palace returns.
However, although everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions, the masters of these seven water houses are also the seven most powerful among the forty-eight water houses. Therefore, the other water houses have no way to deal with them and can only offer sacrifices according to their rules. Category.
Not long after the establishment of the new Dragon Palace, they discovered that there was a cave buried under the Dragon Palace, and there were layers of seals around the cave.
Almost when they discovered the cave, they all thought it was a cave left by the Dragon Palace to store magic weapons and elixirs.
After all, there were too many formations set up outside the cave.
The reason why Guo Yuan knew this was because those seven people summoned all the masters of the Water Palace to break the seal outside the cave.
They studied together for more than a month, but there was no way to crack the seal.
In the end, they decided to crack it directly with brute force.
Although this may damage the magic weapon in the cave, it is better than having a treasure mountain that cannot be entered.
So just like that, all the palace masters broke the seal of the cave together.
However, in that cave, there was no magic weapon at all, there was just a sealed ancient monster!
Guo Yuan had learned about the monster beast in the ancient books of the Sea Clan. It was an extremely ferocious snake-like monster on the seabed in ancient times, the blood-scaled snake.
Its scales are as tough as iron and can protect against almost all attacks in the same realm!
Moreover, this kind of monster has extremely strong reproduction ability. Basically, it only takes the blood of one Jindan realm monster to produce two or three offspring!
It is precisely because of this that the blood-scaled snake once dominated the entire seabed in ancient times.
It was not until the rise of the dragon clan that the blood-scaled snake disappeared into the seabed.
But I didn't expect that there was such a blood-scaled snake sealed under the Dragon Palace!
The blood-scaled snake's cultivation level is not very high, it is only in the middle stage of Nascent Soul Realm. However, because its scales have such strong defensive power, no one can hurt him even though he is extremely weak after just breaking the seal!
At that time, because the blood-scaled snake had transformed, no one noticed that it was a blood-scaled snake. The palace masters just felt that he was powerful and wanted to wait until he recovered before having a good talk with him.
The result was that after the blood-scaled snake recovered, it killed all the most powerful palace masters at once, and gave birth to dozens of descendants, directly occupying the new Dragon Palace.
"In that case, why don't you leave this sea area? It's so dangerous, but you still have to work for him?"
Li Zhe narrowed his eyes slightly and asked softly.
Listening to Li Zhe's question, Guo Yuan grimaced and stretched out his hand.
Only then did Li Zhe see that there were two bloody holes on Guo Yuan's arm!
The two blood holes have not healed, and there is a scarlet aura flowing faintly inside them.
"It's not that we don't want to run away, it's just that the remaining surviving palace masters were bitten by him. As long as we leave this sea area, the wounds will be activated immediately and suck us dry."
Guo Yuan said to Li Zhe with a grimace.
As he spoke, the spiritual power in Guo Yuan's body circulated instantly. At this time, Li Zhecai noticed that there was a small snake as small as hair lingering in his wound!
"This is the seed he left behind. Once the wound is activated, this little snake will drain the spiritual energy in our bodies, so now we have no choice but to stay here."
Having said this, a very helpless expression appeared on Guo Yuan's face.
"Please ask the consort to make the decision for us and kill the blood-scaled snake!"
Guo Yuanchen took a breath, immediately fell to his knees on the ground, and shouted loudly to Li Zhe.
Hearing this, Li Zhe narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling in his mind the tiny blood-scaled snake he had just killed in the Jinglang Water Mansion.
The blood-scaled snake was only at the False God Realm, so it could withstand a random attack from him.
If he were to face the blood-scaled snake in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, even if he exerted all his spiritual power, he might not be able to break through the blood-scaled snake's defense!
After all, the blood-scaled snake's defense relies on its own scales, not some spiritual shield. In this way, even if Li Zhe has the spell-breaking effect of the Jingpo Sword, he can't defeat the blood-scaled snake. No way!
“It’s not that I don’t want to do this, I just need to consider it in the long run!”
Li Zhe looked at Guo Yuan in front of him, waved his hand, used his spiritual power to lift his body, and then whispered to Guo Yuan.
