Li Nezha watched as the gate to the forbidden area slowly opened, a gate that seemed to foreshadow crossing centuries, filling him with great curiosity about the world inside.
Xiang Zhi approached Xing Yu with a solemn expression and whispered, "Your Highness, the human heart is unpredictable. You must always be wary of the human race. This is a precept of the sea race throughout the ages."
Xingyu glanced subconsciously at Nezha, whose gaze was burning as he stared at the forbidden area's gate, and nodded. "Don't worry, I know."
Li Nezha was completely unaware of Xingyu's suspicious gaze.
The four of them passed through the gate of the forbidden area, and when they turned around again, the gate had already disappeared behind them. Li Nezha watched in amazement.
Turning around to look at the environment of the forbidden area, the desolate and colorless landscape exuded a sense of bleakness, and even the sky was a gray color.
"Could this be a cemetery? It's so desolate!" Li Nezha looked around at the barren land before him and couldn't help but ask.
Not only him, but Cang Li also frowned, as this forbidden area was filled with the aura of death.
"Nezha, be careful and don't stray too far from me," Xingyu said worriedly.
Before Nezha could speak, Long Yu burst into mocking laughter, "Heh heh, why are you sea people so obsessed with saving face? Inviting this useless human to his death, do you want to add to your own guilt?! If it weren't for our dragon clan's assistance, you would have been wiped out long ago!"
Upon hearing Long Yu's words, Xing Yu's expression immediately turned sour, and she was at a loss for words to refute him.
Li Nezha stepped in front of Xingyu, his face full of disdain, and said, "The Dragon Clan and the Sea Clan in the past were just like you and that Demon Clan sister now. They were just cooperating. It's just that you greedily occupied most of the resources. I didn't expect you to be proud of it instead of being ashamed. What do you have to be proud of now!"
Upon hearing Nezha's words, Long Yu was instantly enraged and pointed at Li Nezha, cursing, "You little bastard! How dare you insult my great dragon race! You're dead!"
Li Nezha's face immediately turned cold. "If you've got the guts, say it again!"
A powerful masculine energy burst forth from Nezha's body, causing Cangli to involuntarily take several steps back. This power was actually specifically designed to counter their demon race!
Looking at Li Nezha again, her gaze was completely different. She hadn't realized that she had underestimated this seemingly young little guy!
Xingyu frowned as he watched Li Nezha's retreating figure, unable to ascertain Li Nezha's strength for the moment.
"A human bastard, running around yelling at your Grandpa Long, are you stupid?" Long Yu said this, but he was already so scared that he hid behind Cang Li.
Cang Li gave him a cold glance but said nothing. This time, Bu Yunrui had asked her to use the privileges of the Dragon Clan to investigate this somewhat strange forbidden area and, incidentally, check for any signs of divine artifacts.
Everything had to be done in secret. She didn't want to be high-profile, but to her surprise, Long Yu was a restless fellow who was not only afraid of death but also incredibly arrogant, which she found unbearable!
Just as Long Yu finished speaking, Cang Li felt a gust of wind brush past her ear. Before she could react, a scream came from behind her: "Aaaaah—"
Turning her head, she saw Long Yu clutching his nose, screaming in agony, "Aaaaah! My nose! You've disfigured me, you bastard—"
Li Nezha was furious. Why did this guy always say he was a bastard?
He is not!
He is his mother's biological son!
He's not a bastard!
He's not a monster!
Instantly, Li Nezha's aura intensified, carrying a hint of killing intent, with all his sharpness directed at Long Yu!
Seeing this, Cang Li quickly stepped in front of Long Yu and said with a serious expression, "Apologize to you on his behalf, please forgive his rudeness!"
Cangli did not use the word "I," indicating that her stance was neutral.
Nezha's murderous intent remained undiminished as he looked at Long Yu and said, word by word, "If you dare to do this again, I will strip off your dragon scales, pull out your dragon tendons, and scatter your soul to the winds, so that you will never be reincarnated!"
Upon hearing Nezha's words, Long Yu's forehead instantly broke out in a fine sweat, and his face turned deathly pale.
Xingyu came to Nezha's side and said, "Nezha, let's keep going."
Nezha glanced at Xingyu before concealing his killing intent, nodding and following Xingyu forward.
Cang Li glanced at Long Yu and said coldly, "If you deliberately provoke him again, I will not save you!"
After saying that, he followed Nezha and the other two.
Long Yu covered his face, staring at their retreating figures with a ferocious and resentful expression.
The four walked across the desolate land, where the faint green grass brought a bit of life to the barren forbidden area, and gradually even the surrounding air became fresher.
The sky turned as beautiful as the setting sun! The group didn't know when it started, but a small stream appeared around them. They walked along without finding its source, as if it had appeared out of thin air.
Just as Li Nezha was wondering, a huge castle could be vaguely seen in the mist not far in front of them.
Xingyu pointed to the castle and said, "Nezha, that castle in front is where we can receive the divine artifact. An envoy will guide us in a little while. Don't speak to him when you meet him, lest you get into trouble."
Seeing Xingyu's serious expression, Li Nezha nodded without any doubt, "Yes, I understand."
With that, the four of them headed towards the castle...
Yan Ligu looked at the figures gradually approaching outside the window and suddenly smiled, "They're here."
If Gu Liyan were here, he would never have imagined that the gate to this forbidden sea area leads to the gate to the Nine Springs World!
