There is no doubt that the mysterious man who helped the mermaid clan move from barbarism to civilization is 99% the Kunlun Immortal King we are looking for!
However, according to the words of the Mermaid King, that man has passed away. If this man is really the Kunlun Immortal King, how could he fall so easily?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but become more and more confused.
In any case, the most important thing now is to take a look at the body of the Immortal King in person. By then, all the mysteries will be solved.
"Senior, I came all the way from the Chinese mainland just to find the Immortal King, but I accidentally got involved in the dispute between the Paradise Island, the Sea Wolf Clan and the Mermaid Clan."
I solemnly said to the Mermaid King: "Now that the enemies of the Mermaid clan have been eliminated, I hope our seniors will take us to see the body of the Immortal King, so that our journey will not be in vain."
Facing my request, the Mermaid King frowned slightly and pondered for a long time.
"Little friend Cheng, it stands to reason that you helped me kill the Sea Wolf King, allowing me, the mermaid clan, to stand up and take charge. I should agree to your request, but..."
"It's just that I once swore secretly that I would not let any outsider get close to the Immortal King's body, so I hope you can forgive me."
I didn't expect the Mermaid King to refuse my request. I was stunned for a moment. I was about to continue explaining when a voice came from behind me.
"Father!"
I looked back and saw the mermaid princess Ajin, leading a team of guards, walking quickly towards the mermaid king.
When we were dealing with the Sea Wolf King just now, Ah Jin had been commanding the mermaid warriors to fight against the guards of the Sea Wolf clan on the outside, so he didn't meet his father until now.
The Mermaid King, who had been imprisoned for many years, suddenly saw his daughter and couldn't help but burst into tears and slowly opened his arms.
"Ajin, you have grown up..."
After saying this, the father and daughter hugged each other tightly. Everyone around them was moved and their eyes were red.
"Father, brother Cheng Yi and his friends are the benefactors of our mermaid clan. Moreover, they are looking for the Immortal King to save the Chinese continent. I hope you will fulfill your wish."
After crying for a while, Ah Jin raised his head and begged the Mermaid King.
Facing his daughter's request, the Mermaid King could no longer utter any words of rejection. He pondered for a moment and finally gritted his teeth.
"Okay, then I will make an exception and take you to see the body of the Immortal King!"
"but,"
Before I could speak, the Mermaid King continued: "When you see the body of the Immortal King, you must remain respectful and do not insult the body of the Immortal King."
I solemnly agreed: "Senior, don't worry, the Immortal King is our savior of China. We only meet him to verify some things and will not do anything beyond our reach."
The Mermaid King nodded and walked straight to the broken throne.
He was seen standing in front of the foundation of the throne, taking out a red flag from his arms, planting it on the ground, and then silently recited a complex mantra.
Suddenly, a red light shot out from the depths of the foundation. Immediately, there was a loud roaring sound from underneath the foundation, and soon a crack appeared.
At the edge of the crack, there is a stone staircase leading directly to the ground.
"Please come with me, everyone,"
The Mermaid King looked back at me and said calmly: "The body of the Immortal King is down there."
I couldn't help but be stunned. Lonnie, Bai Ze and others next to me also showed shocked expressions.
The Sea Wolf King worked hard to find the body of the Immortal King, but he never thought that the body of the Immortal King was under his throne!
Ah Jin, a group of prisoners, and the soldiers of the mermaid tribe stayed outside, while a few of us followed the mermaid king and got into the crack.
"The Immortal King once said that after his death, he asked me to place his body under the palace, so that he can help the mermaid family guard their destiny. Even if they encounter hardships, noble people will come and eventually turn the disaster into good luck. "
"Now it seems that everything is as expected by the Immortal King. Although our mermaid clan was rebelled, we finally welcomed noble people like you, and all the hardships were rewarded."
The Mermaid King said as he walked.
"Senior, is the Immortal King really gone?"
I didn't care about anything else and just got to the point and asked.
"I don't know about this either."
The Mermaid King shook his head and said solemnly: "Back then, I saw the Immortal King not breathing with my own eyes. According to common sense, he is indeed gone."
"It's just that over the years, I have often seen the Immortal King in my sleep. He has given me a lot of guidance in my dreams. It is precisely because of this that I have been able to survive decades of imprisonment."
"So, in my heart, the Immortal King has never left. He is always in a mysterious place, silently paying attention to our mermaid clan."
While we were talking, we had already stepped onto the ground. There was a dark passage in front of us. After walking along the passage for a while, our eyes suddenly opened up.
This is a wide underground square with a flat ground and an arc-shaped dome structure above it. Unknown crystal stones are embedded in it, giving off a luster.
At first glance, it looks like the starry sky in the dark night.
In the middle of the square, a high platform of more than ten meters was built, and a figure was sitting cross-legged on it, motionless.
We followed the Mermaid King and climbed up step by step along the stone steps under the high platform. As we got closer, I gradually saw the man's true face clearly.
Dressed in white, with a face like a crown of jade, star-shaped eyebrows and sword-like eyes, this man was simply astonishing to the heavenly being.
On the ground next to him, there was a long sword, which was already stained with rust.
However, facing our approach, he just sat cross-legged, eyes slightly closed, motionless, like a statue.
In fact, I couldn't feel the slightest breath of life from him.
"Immortal King, the young one is here to see you!"
When he was only two or three meters away from the man, the Mermaid King suddenly knelt down with a pop, his eyes filled with tears.
"For so many years, I have been imprisoned in the underground prison, so I have been unable to visit you. I hope the Immortal King will atone for his sins!"
I couldn't help but think, is this person the Kunlun Immortal King we have been searching for?
"Disciple Cheng Yi, I have met Senior Immortal King!"
Thinking of this, I knelt down without hesitation.
Seeing this, Bai Ze, Lonnie and others followed me and knelt down in front of the Immortal King with great sincerity.
Kunlun Immortal King is far above us in terms of status and realm. What's more, he has helped Nei Wutang solve hundreds of years of catastrophe many times. He can be said to be the benefactor of our Ma family.
I bowed to him without any problem.
"Senior, the disciple is from the Chinese mainland. He is Cheng Yi, a disciple of the fifth inner hall. Because he saw the hint of his senior in the dragon vein crystal, he embarked on a journey to find his senior."
Kneeling in front of the Immortal King, I recounted my journey in detail.
