"No." Upon hearing these two words, everyone in the Dragon Palace changed color. Zu An then continued, "The Queen is trapped in the formation. Once she leaves the formation, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch her. Wouldn't that be committing the crime of deceiving the king? So I ask the Dragon King to come with me personally. With the Dragon King there, there's no need to worry about her escaping when the formation is broken."

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King fell into deep thought. At this moment, Ao Yong, who was standing beside him, hurriedly said, "Brother King, be careful, it might be a trap!"

Seeing his anxious look, Zu An thought to himself that this guy clearly didn't want the Dragon King to find the Queen. It seemed that he really had a strange fondness for his sister-in-law. He should find an opportunity to ask Shang Hongyu what their relationship was. It had come to this point that Ao Yong would risk his life to protect her.

Thinking of this, he suddenly paused, realizing that he had subconsciously thought of asking Shang Hongyu, which showed that he still trusted her more.

Based on the current information, Shang Hongyu is real, and the Dragon King is real, so who is the fake one?

It couldn't be me, could it?

Where exactly did the problem lie...?

He couldn't care less about anything else at this point and decided to subdue both sides and make them confront each other.

The Dragon King grunted in response, ignoring Ao Yong, seemingly guessing his thoughts, and directly asked Zu An, "Where is the Queen roughly trapped?"

“It’s on a small island in the middle of the ocean,” Zuan replied. The ocean in this world is incredibly vast, and with this information alone, he wasn’t worried about the other party abandoning him and finding him.

Hearing that they were still within the sea race's territory, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief. They were worried that if they were in human or demon territory, it might be a trap set by either side.

In the vast ocean, it's within the control of the sea creatures, and they can't cause any trouble.

"Very well, then I will go with you." The Dragon King stood up from his throne, exuding an inexplicable aura of power.

At this moment, the Turtle Prime Minister advised, "Your Majesty, it would be best to bring some skilled warriors with you, lest you be ambushed."

The Dragon King laughed heartily: "Now that Zhao Hao and the Demon Emperor are dead, who else among us could possibly be my match back then?"

Upon hearing this, Zu'an's heart stirred.

At this moment, the Turtle Prime Minister said with a smile, "Your Majesty is naturally a peerless master, but everyone in the world knows this. If someone really wants to deal with you, they will definitely make corresponding preparations based on your strength. It's always better to be careful."

At this moment, Ao Yong, who was standing to the side, cupped his hands and said, "Prime Minister Gui is right. Your humble brother is willing to bring experts along."

At the same time, a sense of worry arose in his heart. Could it be that his sister-in-law had really been ambushed and captured by this human? If he went with her, there might still be a chance to rescue her. If he didn't go, there would be no chance at all.

The Dragon King frowned: "Very well, you may all come with me."

He then pointed to a group of his subordinates, Ao Yong being just one of them.

"Which direction?" The Dragon King led his men to Zu'an's side.

Zuan pointed northeast, and the Dragon King nodded. Then, with a wave of his hand, a group of people were enveloped by a current of water and rushed in that direction. Wherever they passed, the seawater parted automatically.

The speed of the group was astonishing.

Zuan secretly admired them. These sea creatures were indeed quite something. If they were to fight the Dragon King in the ocean, the Dragon King would have the advantage of playing on home ground, and they should not be underestimated.

At the same time, he became increasingly puzzled. This Dragon King seemed to be the real deal. In this world, besides him, could there be anyone else with such powerful water control abilities?

Along the way, Zuan kept correcting the direction, and before long, the group had arrived at the edge of the deserted island they had been on before.

At this moment, the Dragon King smiled and said, "So you're hiding in the Azure Sea. Is the most dangerous place the safest place after all?"

Many of her subordinates secretly admired her. After these days of searching, everyone thought that the Queen had fled far away, perhaps even to the human or demon world. They never expected that she had been hiding right under their noses all along. It seems that all the previous intelligence was just a smokescreen. She truly deserves to be called the Queen; her intelligence is admirable.

Unfortunately, they were unlucky enough to run into this human!

Zuan pointed to a desolate mountain with jagged rocks in the distance: "The Queen is in that cave over there. I left a formation mark outside the cave. With the Dragon King's eyesight, it will be easy for him to find it."

At this moment, the Dragon King snorted: "You come with me."

That way, even if there's any danger, the other party will be there too, preventing them from setting up any deadly traps.

Zuan was somewhat taken aback, but still nodded and said, "Okay!"

Shang Hongyu had a good grasp of the Dragon King's psychology. If she offered to go with him, he would become suspicious.

Now that he's asking for it, it all feels natural.

Then the Dragon King instructed his men: "You surround this island, and don't let a single fly get out. Also, keep an eye out for any other suspicious people coming. The rest of you, come with me."

"Yes!" Many experts accepted the order.

Ao Yong was somewhat anxious: "Brother Wang, be careful, it might be a trap. Why don't I go with you?"

The Dragon King chuckled: "Do you really think I can't handle a mere human?"

Taking you along would really change things.

Ao Yong wanted to try again: "Better safe than sorry..."

The Dragon King then said calmly, "My wife and I will inevitably have some private conversations. Does my brother also have an interest in these matters?"

The expressions of the surrounding sea creature experts couldn't help but change.

Ao Yong's expression changed: "Your subject would not dare."

Having said all that, he dared not say anything more. He could only look worriedly at the desolate mountain, hoping that the human was lying.

He and the other sea creature experts quickly dispersed around the island, so that even if someone tried to escape, they would be intercepted.
