The Black Horned King was a black fish spirit. Eight hundred years ago, he was a third-level monster and a well-known overlord in the sea area. Before his breakthrough, he had a fish head and a human body. One hundred years ago, he had a strange encounter. It was this strange encounter that turned him from a black fish spirit into the black dragon he is today.

The black fish turns into a dragon!

What a great opportunity this was! After transforming into a dragon, the black fish demon called himself the Black Horn King, because a pitch-black dragon horn grew on his head.

Over the past hundred years, the Black Horn King has consolidated the sea area, swallowed up the east and the west, and expanded the power of the Water Palace several times. It was because of this news that Chen Luo did not kill him directly. If it was the Black Horn King before he turned into a dragon, he would have been caught and stewed into soup long ago.

Blackhorn Island, directly below.

On the bottom of the deep blue sea, there is a huge palace. Gems are inlaid on the edge of the building, emitting a soft light of light blue, just like an underwater dragon palace, giving people a magnificent feeling.

Crash

A layer of water curtain splashed on the ground, spreading all the way to the ankles of the young man in the yard.

In the cold water palace, a little boy with red horns on his head hid in a corner, trying hard to memorize the contents of a book. It was just an ordinary book, and the stories were all made up by people. But the little boy didn't know, he thought it was a secret book, and carefully memorized the contents of the book.

"I will definitely be able to learn the magic skills and kill that bitch."

A gleam of hatred flashed across the young face.

He could not read, but he tried hard to memorize it. He believed that he was memorizing the "unparalleled magical skill", the secret technique of transforming into a dragon.

Outer courtyard.

A guard with a shrimp shell reluctantly withdrew his gaze. The little boy thought he was hiding well, but he didn't know that his every move was under the surveillance of the lady.

"What? Can't stand it anymore?"

Another shrimp soldier nearby sneered, as if looking down on his companion's womanly kindness.

"Madam, you could have just killed him, so why did you give him a fake 'secret book' and make him practice day and night? That's just a folk story, not some kind of cultivation method at all." The shrimp soldier in front couldn't help but say.

In his opinion, it is enough to kill the enemy, so why bully them like this?

The little boy in the story is named Ao Ye, the youngest son of the Black Horn King, and his mother is a colorful carp spirit. Sixty years ago, his mother was poisoned to death by the eldest lady, along with Ao Ye's three-year-old sister. Ao Ye, who survived, told his father, the Black Horn King, about this incident, hoping that his father could avenge his mother.

As a result, he still remembers what the father said to him.

"Get out!"

The indifferent look was like looking at a stranger on the street. He felt very unhappy because this kind of thing disturbed his practice.

Ao Ye didn't understand.

His mother and sister died.

Doesn't this matter?

The first lady knew about Ao Ye being driven out. She originally planned to kill Ao Ye directly, but she thought that this boy was the blood of the Lord of the Mansion after all, and he had met the Lord of the Mansion before, so maybe there was some affection between them. In order to avoid upsetting the Lord of the Mansion because of such a small matter, the first lady adopted Ao Ye, calling it "taking care of him". This way, she could please the Lord of the Mansion and show her magnanimity.

In this way, Ao Ye was locked up in the yard by the eldest lady and raised like a pig for twenty years.

Teach him nothing.

He was fed with the lowest quality food, let alone the resources for cultivation. He was not even taught how to read and write. Not only that, he had endless work to do every day, and if he was not satisfied, he would be beaten and scolded. As long as he was not dead, no one would come to ask about it. In order to eliminate the possible danger, the eldest lady also found a maid of Ao Ye's mother and sent a "magic skill secret book" to Ao Ye through her, claiming that this secret book was a relic left to him by his mother. Ao Ye, who could not read, believed it without a doubt and wasted most of his time every day on memorizing this "magic skill".

"If I could understand the thoughts of the big shots, I wouldn't be here guarding the door with you."

The shrimp soldier who was asked rolled his eyes and said impatiently.

"Well, you say."

While the two shrimp soldiers were chatting, dozens of black shadows suddenly appeared in the distance.

These people appeared so suddenly that before the two shrimp soldiers could react, they saw a monk in a black robe appear in front of them.

Phew!

A flash of scarlet knife light passed by, and the two shrimp soldiers who were still chatting a second ago fell straight to the ground the next second, with blood flowing from their necks.

After killing the man, the Jie Xiu's magic power dissipated, and the blood knife dissipated. This was not a real knife, but a blood knife condensed by this person's supernatural power.

Chen Luo looked at this person carefully.

He was very interested in this magical power.

"Be quick, I've already told you the exact location."

The leading robber cultivator took the lead and rushed into the water palace first.

The water formation outside was activated, and a circle of light blue light curtain rose up. This light curtain was like an inverted bowl, protecting the water palace inside. Seeing this, a tall and thin robbery cultivator next to Chen Luo immediately flew up and took out dozens of black balls from his arms. With a turn of spiritual power, these balls immediately floated up and flew towards the light curtain in front.

Boom boom boom!!

After the violent explosion, the sky-blue light curtain in front of him emitted a distorted ripple, and then a large hole was blown open.

This method of breaking the formation is very consistent with the style of Jie Xiu.

Simple and crude.

quick!

A group of people filed in.

After entering the water palace, everyone felt a strong water-attributed spiritual energy. This water palace was built on a third-level spiritual vein, in which the water attribute was the strongest, and it was very suitable for the monsters in the water to practice.

"Front."

The leading cultivator flew very fast, and the people behind followed closely. The aura of more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators spread out, and the low-level shrimp soldiers nearby did not dare to approach. For this activity, this group of cultivators planned very well, and even bribed a few goblins in the water palace to obtain the map of the water palace.

Chen Luo mixed in with the robbery team and was also looking at the environment in the water palace. His goal was different from others. He was planning to get Xue Ning's relics that the Black Horn King had snatched from the mute slave. This thing might not be found in the treasure house.

“It’s right here!”

The leader of the robbery cultivators in the front flew to the front of a yard and jumped in. The others followed suit and broke in. Chen Luo was at the back, looking at the robbery cultivators who broke into the yard, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"interesting."

Then the figure leaped and flew in.

After everyone entered the yard, a layer of mist suddenly rose in the yard. The yard that was originally clear at a glance now became layered and the end was nowhere to be seen. The strangest thing was that their spiritual consciousness was suppressed in this place and could not penetrate the mist.

“This place is not a treasure trove”

“There is a formation!”

The Tribulation Cultivator who used the Blood Sword and the two Tribulation Cultivators who used the Exploding Formation Technique were the first to react.

"Where is Zuo Qiulong? What route is he leading?"

Some people even questioned the leader of the robbery. Strangely, they did not hear any response, and then they realized that the leader had disappeared since they entered the yard, leaving only the participants.

"Zuoqiu Long is missing!"

"You bastard, you even dare to sell me out."

The dense footsteps came closer and closer, and a large number of demon cultivators gathered towards the courtyard. The Blood Blade robbery cultivator was the first to break through the door and wall and rushed inside. The rest of the people followed suit. Regardless of whether it was an ambush or not, staying where they were would definitely be the stupidest thing to do.

Whether the organizer Zuo Qiulong betrayed them would naturally be clear afterwards.

If it is true, then retaliate according to the rules of Jie Xiu.

The Blood Blade robber was very fast. After splitting open a door wall, he quickly rushed in. Another person took out a large number of black balls again. These balls were scattered by him, and a series of explosions sounded.

This kind of thunder ball is originally used to break formations, and it is most suitable to be used here right now.

The group fled along the broken passage all the way to a secluded courtyard. After arriving here, the moisture in the courtyard finally disappeared, and everyone's consciousness returned to normal.

“It’s out!”

"So simple? Something seems wrong."

"No matter if he is right or not, we should find the treasure first. We can't come here in vain."

The people who escaped looked around the yard and prepared to capture a few people from the Water Palace inside and let them lead the way as hostages.

Ao Ye was shivering as he hid under a stone in the corner, holding the book of folk tales tightly in his arms. He was just reading in the yard when suddenly a group of ferocious robbers broke in. They were obviously desperadoes. Although he seldom went out, he had heard a lot of stories about the outside world when he occasionally chatted with the shrimp soldiers.

Chen Luo looked towards the corner.

As soon as he entered the yard, he found Ao Ye in the corner. This child did not have any mana fluctuations, but his emotions were very strong. Chen Luo had never seen such a good seedling in his practice of the Heart Demon Technique. This child was born to practice the Heart Demon Technique!

Deep in the water palace.

The leader of the robbers, Zuo Qiulong, pulled off the black scarf on his head and bowed respectfully to the woman in front of him.

"Everyone has been brought in."

"very good."

Zuo Qiulong looked down at the ground, not daring to look at the woman above. The plan to rob the Water Palace this time was planned by this woman from beginning to end. He was just a dog under this woman.

"There are thirteen people in total, all of them are at the foundation-building stage, and they are not involved with any other forces."

"The Water Palace encountered a robbery, the master's favorite Glazed Blood Dragon Ginseng was robbed, and the Water Palace's hundred-year account book was burned." The woman stood up and looked at Zuo Qiulong below with a smile.

"What do you think of this reason?"

A trace of sweat seeped out of Zuo Qiulong's forehead, and he didn't dare to answer this question.
