Chapter 75 Quick Travel Guide: Poseidon (XII)
Bi Fusheng wanted to argue, but I interrupted him mercilessly, "Bi Fusheng, how long are you going to keep pretending? Do you really think that no one knows what you did?"
I turned to the crowd and said in a loud and firm voice, "Everyone, Bi Fusheng may seem righteous on the surface, but he is actually a complete hypocrite! He used his power to embezzle and accept bribes to enrich himself, and even colluded with Du Yue to kill Lord Poseidon!"
My words caused an uproar, and everyone looked at Bi Fusheng with anger and contempt. They never thought that Bi Fusheng, whom they had always respected, would be such a despicable person.
At this time, Lord Poseidon suddenly appeared and stood behind me, watching everything silently. His eyes were full of surprise and relief.
He didn't expect that I was so brave and so wise, and he didn't expect that I would go against the entire underwater city for him.
I turned around, looked into the deep gaze of the Lord Shanghai, and gave him a reassuring look.
I know that everything I do is for him and for our future.
"I believe that justice is in the hearts of the people." I looked around at everyone and said firmly, "Today, I will expose the true colors of Du Yue and Bi Fusheng and let everyone know that they are the real sinners!"
My words echoed loudly in the banquet hall. More and more mermaids stood on my side, filled with righteous indignation, demanding severe punishment for Du Yue and Bi Fusheng.
Just as everyone was cheering, a sudden change occurred...
Suddenly, a violent underwater explosion occurred in the banquet hall, and many mermaids were directly killed. Then, a group of mermaid warriors in black armor rushed in with great momentum.
The crowd suddenly fell into chaos, with screams and roars one after another.
Before I could react, a tall and mighty figure pushed through the crowd and walked towards me. He had long, sea-blue hair as thick as seaweed, and a pair of sharp eyes like an eagle, flashing with a cold light.
He is Poseidon, the youngest and most promising general among the mermaids and the most trusted brother of Poseidon in the underwater world.
"Poseidon? Why are you here?" I asked in surprise, with a vague sense of uneasiness rising in my heart.
Poseidon sneered, his eyes swept back and forth between me and Lord Poseidon, his tone full of disdain and ridicule: "I came here, of course, to expose your conspiracy and give justice to the mermaids!"
"Conspiracy? What are you talking about? Isn't what I revealed the conspiracy of Du Yue and Bi Fusheng?"
I tried to remain calm and refute, but Poseidon's words were like a sharp blade that pierced my heart.
"Shut up! Who do you think you are? How can a foreigner of unknown origin meddle in the internal affairs of our mermaid tribe?"
Poseidon shouted, "You were simply deceived by Ge Yun's sweet words and used by him to deal with us!"
Poseidon's words were like a bomb, exploding among the mermaids, and everyone fled from the Heart of the Ocean in all directions.
A large number of mermaids died. The eyes of the people who originally looked at me with trust turned into suspicion and vigilance.
I felt an invisible pressure coming at me from all directions, almost swallowing me up.
"No, that's not the case. Believe me, I'm not lying!"
I tried desperately to explain, but my voice felt so weak and so pale.
"Enough! Facts speak louder than words!"
Poseidon held up a crystal clear blue crystal ball and announced loudly, "This contains evidence of the collusion between Lord Poseidon and Feng Ziang, which is enough to prove that they are the real traitors!"
I looked at the crystal ball in Poseidon's hand in disbelief, my heart filled with doubts and confusion.
What is going on? Why does Poseidon stand on the side of Du Yue and Bi Fusheng? Is this all a conspiracy they have carefully planned?
I subconsciously looked at Poseidon, but found that his face was as pale as paper, his fists were clenched, and his eyes were full of pain and struggle.
I wanted to ask him what was going on, but I couldn't utter a word.
A deep feeling of powerlessness and despair overwhelmed me like a tide. I suddenly realized that I was so alone and helpless in this strange world.
Poseidon's words were like sharp icicles that pierced the originally heated atmosphere. The crowd immediately became buzzing with discussions, and suspicious eyes flooded towards me like a tide, making it almost hard for me to breathe.
I wanted to explain, wanted to refute loudly, but my throat seemed to be blocked by something and no sound came out.
Lord Poseidon grabbed my hand. His hand was icy cold and beads of sweat appeared on his palm.
"Don't be afraid. I believe in you."
He whispered, his tone firm and gentle, as if to inject a little strength into me in the storm.
I forced a smile and tried to calm myself down.
The crystal ball in Poseidon's hand emitted a faint blue light, like some evil omen, which made me feel even more uneasy.
"The contents of this crystal ball are clearly fake!"
Lord Poseidon stepped forward with a faint blue light, looked directly into Poseidon's eyes, and said in a cold tone, "What is your purpose?"
"Purpose? My purpose is very simple, I want to expose your true colors!"
Poseidon sneered and raised the crystal ball high, "The mermaids cannot be deceived by you conspirators!"
The crowd began to stir again, and I felt the pressure around me growing stronger and stronger, as if an invisible net was tightly surrounding Lord Poseidon and me.
"Let's leave here first." Lord Poseidon whispered, pulling me around and wanting to leave this place of trouble.
However, at this moment, a group of mermaid warriors armed with weapons suddenly appeared and surrounded us.
The leader was Zhao Lei, who had been in constant conflict with Sun Xiang. He had a sinister smile on his face and his eyes were full of hostility.
"Want to leave? Not that easy!"
The giant deep-sea octopus sneered, "Today, none of you can leave here!"
My heart suddenly sank, and an ominous premonition surged into my mind. This all seemed to be a carefully planned trap, and Lord Poseidon and I were trapped in the trap.
In order to find out the truth, Lord Poseidon and I temporarily held back and pretended to be imprisoned.
Late at night, I sneaked into Poseidon's room, trying to find evidence that he had framed us.
There was no one in the room, except for an unfinished letter placed on the table. The handwriting on the letter was messy, as if it was written in a hurry.
"Brother Shark, the plan is going smoothly..."
There was only one sentence in the letter, but it was enough to shock me. Brother Shark?
I was about to continue reading when I suddenly heard footsteps outside the door. Startled, I quickly put the letter back to its place and hid myself.
The door opened and Poseidon walked in. His face was gloomy and his eyes were full of anxiety and uneasiness.
He walked to the table, picked up the letter, and was about to continue writing when he suddenly turned around as if he realized something.
"Who's there?!"
I held my breath and dared not move. My heart was beating violently in my chest, as if it was going to burst through my throat.
Poseidon's sharp eyes scanned every corner of the room, but he couldn't find any trace of me.
He snorted coldly, as if talking to himself: "It must be my illusion."
Then he turned around and continued writing a letter at the table. Through the gaps in the pattern of the screen, I saw that he wrote on the letter paper: "Poseidon... has full faith in that man, and we will soon be able to..."
The following words were covered by his hand, but I had already vaguely guessed his intention. The trust that Poseidon had in me had become a tool for them to use!
And their real target seems not only to be me, but also Lord Poseidon and even the entire mermaid race!
I suppressed my shock and continued to observe Poseidon's every move. After he finished writing the letter, he carefully folded the letter and put it in a waterproof metal box.
Then he opened the door and walked out.
I followed him quietly and watched him arrive at a remote coral reef.
He looked around and made sure that no one was around. Then he pulled out a conch-shaped communicator from his pocket and whispered, "Hello, it's me. The plan is going smoothly..."
I hid behind a huge shell and listened to his conversation.
"The mermaids have completely believed the lies we made up... Miss Du Yue's plan is flawless, and we will soon be able to..." His tone was full of pride and sinisterness.
Du Yue! It's Du Yue again! Why on earth would she go to such great lengths to frame me and Lord Poseidon?
Poseidon continued to speak, but his voice became smaller and smaller. I could only vaguely hear some key words, such as "power", "control", and "subversion"...
A flash of lightning flashed through my mind, and a terrible thought came to my mind: Could it be that Du Yue and Poseidon's goal is to overthrow the rule of the entire mermaid race? !
I was about to continue listening when suddenly, my foot slipped and I accidentally stepped on a piece of broken coral.
A slight sound broke the silence of the night, and Poseidon immediately turned around alertly.
