Chapter 879 He turned on her as soon as he pulled up his pants.
Just as Su Chen was pondering what to do, Liu Guang gritted her teeth.
She swayed her fishtail and quickly moved away from Yan Yue, rushing to Su Chen's side!
"Ryuko, what are you doing?!"
Yan Yue was stunned for a moment, then began to rebuke.
"Su Chen has saved my life many times, and I made a promise with him!"
Liu Guang said earnestly,
"If you're going to kill him, Uncle, then kill me too!"
"you!"
Yan Yue stared at her for a long while before helplessly waving his hand.
"You all go down first!"
At his command, the surrounding troops quickly retreated.
"You guys sit down first."
Yan Yue beckoned, and several servants brought over a few chairs.
After everyone was seated, Yan Yue smiled wryly and said,
“Su Chen, Liu Guang, actually I didn’t mean to do this.”
"But I'm facing tremendous pressure..."
Su Chen paused for a moment, then slowly said,
"If I'm not mistaken, it must be the king who sent an envoy?"
"Yes."
Iwagaku nodded.
Judging from Liuguang's escape route, it's not hard to guess that she was going to seek refuge with her uncle Yan Yue at Zhenyuan Pass.
So Mo Yuan sent an envoy to pay his respects to Yan Yue.
However, the messenger did not take the death route, so the journey would take a few days longer than that of Liuguang.
Not long after Liu Guang brought reinforcements from Zhenyuan Pass and left with Yi Chen, Mo Yuan's envoy arrived at Zhenyuan Pass.
Mo Yuan demanded that Yan Yue submit to the king and hand over Liu Guang and Su Chen and others who had killed the merfolk soldiers.
"Liuguang, I really want to refuse Moyuan."
Yan Yue sighed.
"But you must know that Mo Yuan has already taken control of the situation."
"His army is dozens of times larger than that of Zhenyuan Pass!"
"Not to mention, Zhenyuan Pass's supplies all depend on the Kingdom!"
"If I don't obey Mo Yuan's orders, even if he doesn't attack, as long as he cuts off supplies, Zhenyuan Pass will run out of ammunition and food in less than three months!"
Although he also disliked Mo Yuan's character, Yan Yue, who was being manipulated, had no choice but to comply!
Yan Yue deliberately drove Su Chen and the others away, but in reality, he wanted to save them and prevent them from falling into Mo Yuan's hands!
"Is there no other way?"
Liu Guang said helplessly.
"Nothing."
Iwagaku shook his head, his face grave.
"The reason Mo Yuan was willing to negotiate with me was entirely because Zhenyuan Pass is extremely important, and he was worried that the Lava Clan would break out!"
"Otherwise, he would probably already be pressing in with his army by now!"
"Moreover, compared to Mo Yuan, the most troublesome are the Lava Clan!"
Every few years, after accumulating enough power, the Lava Clan will launch a counterattack against Atlantis!
Judging by the time, it's time for the Lava Clan to launch a counterattack.
Zhenyuan Pass has been under a lot of pressure lately, and Yan Yue has even considered asking the kingdom for help.
In this situation, he simply couldn't spare any manpower to help Liuguang overthrow Moyuan's rule!
Upon hearing this, Liuguang fell silent.
Although she hated Mo Yuan and didn't want to marry him.
But she also knew in her heart that the stability of Atlantis was more important than her personal happiness!
If she had a choice, she wouldn't risk releasing the Lava Clan to launch an attack against Mo Yuan!
"Su Chen, I was a bit rude just now."
Iwagaku said apologetically,
"You can stay here for the time being. I will try to find a way to enable you to breathe underwater in the next few days."
"But after these few days, you must leave here."
"I'm doing this for your own good."
Su Chen nodded slightly.
Since there's no other way at the moment, we can only take it one step at a time.
Yan Yue beckoned to a servant and asked the servant to take Su Chen and the others downstairs to rest.
As a military stronghold, the accommodations arranged by Iwate were simple, but sufficient for everyone to rest.
After settling in, everyone gathered in Su Chen's room to discuss countermeasures.
"That Yan Yue, he really is someone who forgets his friends once he's done his work!"
Wang Yan complained somewhat discontentedly.
"If you can't speak, then don't speak. Nobody's going to think you're mute!"
Ding Di glared at him irritably, then looked at Su Chen.
"Brother Chen, I actually think Yan Yue did the right thing."
"Yes, he was actually in a difficult position too."
Luo Xiaotian nodded in agreement.
"I understand what you're saying."
From Yan Yue's perspective, Su Chen could understand his actions.
If it were Su Chen instead, Su Chen would have already captured everyone and handed them over to Mo Yuan.
It was already quite a mercy that Iwagaku was willing to let them go.
"So what do we do now, Brother Su?"
Wang Yan grabbed his hair, somewhat annoyed.
Everyone else also turned their attention to Su Chen.
Su Chen didn't speak, but stroked his chin and began to think.
Based on my recent interactions with Liuguang, what Liuguang said before was probably true.
The ancient book that records the location of the teleportation portal is located in the royal city.
To obtain the ancient books, one must travel to the royal city.
The problem is that these humans stand out starkly among the marine life.
Even if they reach the capital, they will be discovered by the Atlantean army.
Finding ancient books is virtually impossible!
So ultimately, we still need the help of Yan Yue and Liu Guang, especially Yan Yue, who controls the Zhenyuan Pass army!
But if you want Yan Yue to step in, you have to help him deal with the threat from the Lava Clan!
However, more crucial than these issues is the problem of underwater breathing.
As they were talking, the door was pushed open, and it was Ryuko.
"Su Chen, I'm so sorry..."
Liuguang felt extremely guilty.
At first, she and Su Chen had a good talk, but she was too naive, and so many things changed along the way.
"Saying sorry now is useless. The most important thing is to help us solve the problem of underwater breathing."
Su Chen said softly.
"Don't worry about that. Uncle has already ordered all the shamans in Zhenyuan Pass to gather together."
It's different from the human world.
Many of the creatures in Atlantis are practitioners of dual cultivation, combining the abilities of evolved beings and those with supernatural powers.
But among them is a profession called the shaman.
It is somewhat similar to ancient shamans, who were responsible for concocting various medicines.
Some were used to treat illnesses, while others were used to enhance strength.
"That's good."
Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
After chatting for a while, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Because of the threat of death, everyone got up after only a few hours of sleep.
Led by Liuguang, they returned to the main hall.
In the magnificent underwater palace, besides Yan Yue and Yi Chen, there were also some strangely dressed merfolk and shark people.
"Su Chen, you've arrived."
Yan Yue greeted Su Chen and pointed to the creatures inside the hall.
"They are all shamans from Zhenyuan Pass, skilled in the refining of various medicines."
He paused, then looked at the sorcerers with a stern expression.
"I've called you here today because I want you to refine a kind of medicine!"
