Heroes' Prison

Chapter 464 - 454: Sea Palace Senator

"Humph! What are the two of you doing?" At that moment, an indignant voice rang out as a petite figure appeared at the door, none other than Xiao Chunzi. Upon seeing Huang Yi and Qin Shiyu’s affectionate demeanor, she immediately crossed her arms in a huff, her twin ponytails swishing from side to side.

"It’s nothing, let’s head to the square. The competition is about to start." Huang Yi shook his head with a smile and walked over to pat Xiao Chunzi on the head.

The three of them then made their way to the square, joining the rest of the Heroes’ Guild.

Before long, the match began.

The opponent for the Heroes’ Guild in this team match was the team currently ranked last in Group A, which had not won a single match and had zero points.

Huang Yi hardly needed to lead; the Heroes’ Guild played freely and with ease crushed their opponents, scoring some points from this match.

Now, the Heroes’ Guild was temporarily fourth in Group A, only behind the Yanhuang Legion, Heavenly Group, and Pharaoh’s Mummy Legion, with Thunder God’s Sun Team and Lv Bu’s Hall of Famous Generals trailing them.

After the match, Huang Yi, Xiao Chunzi, and Qin Shiyu teamed up to grind levels in the Tower of Pantheons.

Huang Yi was still Level 96, hitting a bottleneck where leveling up took about a month or two for just one level; trying to reach Level 100 this way was incredibly difficult. He placed all his hopes on the martial arts tournament — as long as he made the top three, he could level up directly. If he didn’t place in the top three, there was still hope since he earned quite a few Stone Exchanges from competing. Once the massive Reward Vault opened, perhaps he could directly exchange for some Level-Up Potions and breeze through these challenging levels.

Upon reaching Level 100, leveling up would skyrocket again, potentially gaining one or two levels a week, and he wouldn’t be stuck like he currently was.

...

Meanwhile, in another place, Huang Yi’s incarnation stood on the deck of the Dragon Fang Battleship, rapidly heading towards Glazed Glass Island. The salty sea breeze wafted over, warm sunlight gleamed on the calm sea surface, the azure sea and sky presenting a sharp contrast to the terrifying tsunami from the night before.

With a flick of his finger, Huang Yi took out something from his storage ring, the conch the Sea Dragon Emperor had given him, which allowed for communication with the emperor.

"Sea Dragon Emperor, are you alright?" Huang Yi looked out to the endless ocean, speaking into the conch, knowing well that the Sea Dragon Emperor hid in the deepest part of this vast ocean, a place difficult for ordinary people to reach.

"I’ve sustained some injuries." Soon, the Sea Dragon Emperor’s voice came from the conch, slightly weary, "That Fallen Messenger suddenly possessed a supreme powerhouse, I was completely outmatched and got beaten brutally. I’m currently healing in the Dragon Palace."

Huang Yi’s heart sank; he had not expected someone as powerful as a Celestial Realm Expert like the Sea Dragon Emperor to be injured. If the Seven Archdemons sent more forces, the Hero’s Continent might not withstand the onslaught.

Looking at the white waves below the Dragon Fang Battleship, Huang Yi said into the conch, "I’m currently en route to Glazed Glass Island. I want to come to the Dragon Palace to ask you some questions."

"It just so happens I also have some doubts I wish to discuss with you. The Fallen Messenger is now searching everywhere in the Dragon Sea, be cautious in your movements." After speaking, the Sea Dragon Emperor fell silent.

The Dragon Fang Battleship cut through the wind and waves, speeding across the oceanic expanse, arriving near Glazed Glass Island like a bird in flight.

Huang Yi’s incarnation spread its wings and flew directly to the central Lustrous Glass Palace of Glazed Glass Island. The guards seemed to have been ordered not to stop him, smoothly allowing him entry.

"God of Slaughter, please follow us! The Third Prince is waiting for you in the Dragon Palace!" As soon as Huang Yi entered the Lustrous Glass Palace, a crisp voice called out from ahead.

Huang Yi looked up and saw three charming women standing in front, surprisingly the three maids of Jin Jiao, who appeared to be waiting specially for Huang Yi.

"Thank you," Huang Yi nodded in acknowledgment and then followed them.

The three maids led Huang Yi to Jin Jiao’s room, where the Teleportation Circle still shimmered with blue light, ready to transport him to the Dragon Palace to meet the Sea Dragon Emperor.

Huang Yi did not hesitate, and directly stepped forward and onto the Teleportation Circle.

With a flash of light from the Teleportation Circle, Huang Yi’s vision changed, and he arrived at a familiar place.

In front of him was a huge golden Dragon Throne, and seated upon it was a majestic figure with the head of a dragon and the body of a man, dressed in a dragon robe and wearing a golden crown. At that moment, the figure was intently gazing at something in his arms - a little boy with clean white skin, who was sound asleep.

These two were none other than the Sea Dragon Emperor and Jin Jiao.

However, the current state of the Sea Dragon Emperor betrayed an aura that was not as imposing and vigorous as before; his injuries seemed quite severe.

Sensing someone’s arrival, the Sea Dragon Emperor turned his head to look at Huang Yi, and gave a slight nod.

"Sea Dragon Emperor, how are your injuries?" Huang Yi, not wanting to wake Jin Jiao, lowered his voice as he spoke to the Sea Dragon Emperor.

"My injuries are quite serious, and it will likely take a long time to recover," the Sea Dragon Emperor spoke in an unhurried tone, still exuding the air of an emperor despite his wounds, "The Fallen Messenger summoned a Fallen General to possess a body; a practitioner near the level of the Divine Domain, an existence rare to find even in the Central Continent. I was hit by one of its attacks, and without the Sea Dragon Emperor Armor and the Sea-Calming Divine Staff, I would have likely perished in these oceans."

The Sea Dragon Emperor spoke casually, as if he was merely a bystander to the events, rather than the protagonist.

Then, the Sea Dragon Emperor stared directly at Huang Yi, his eyes emitting a divine light: "I have always been curious, how did you manage to take the Giant General without being detected by the Fallen Messenger?"

"Of course, I have my ways, there’s no need for you to worry. I have hidden it in a secret place where no matter how the Fallen Messenger searches, it cannot be found," Huang Yi didn’t elaborate, "Now that you are injured, and the Fallen Messenger is closely searching for your whereabouts, we will soon face a great crisis. It’s essential to have a powerful ally, which is why I am here today for this matter."

"The best ally would be found in the Central Continent, are you asking me to find someone there? However, I don’t know any powerful experts in the Central Continent, you are likely to be disappointed," said the Sea Dragon Emperor before lowering his gaze to Jin Jiao in his arms again.

"No, that’s not it," Huang Yi shook his head, "I have already found the ally, the Giant General obtained yesterday. I have received information that as long as the Demonic Attributes Imprint on the Giant General is dispelled, it can serve us, and it will have an advantage against the Demon Clan. I came here to ask if you have a way to do this." After speaking, he looked expectantly at the Sea Dragon Emperor.

"To dispel the Demonic Attributes Imprint and control the Giant General?" The Sea Dragon Emperor pondered for a moment, "The Demonic Attributes Imprint on the Giant General was personally bestowed by The Seven Archdemons, and it would be exceedingly difficult to remove it, requiring a prolonged and persisting effort. Currently, I am wounded and incapable of doing it myself in the short term."

Hearing this, Huang Yi felt somewhat disappointed, but then the Sea Dragon Emperor’s tone shifted, "However, since you helped me restrain the Giant General last night, you have contributed to the Dragon Sea. I can help you in another way, and should you manage to control the Giant General, it would also benefit me."

"Oh? What method?" Huang Yi’s eyes, which had dimmed, lit up again.

"Just this!" said the Sea Dragon Emperor as he waved the golden scepter in his hand, elucidating, "This is the Sea-Calming Divine Staff. It saved my life last night, and it can dispel the Demonic Attributes Imprint in a relatively short amount of time."

"Hmm? Why would it take you longer to expel it through your own refinement, but using this scepter could easily do it?" Huang Yi examined the golden scepter closely, asking curiously.

"Because this is a treasure left by Lord Sea God," the Sea Dragon Emperor said, his dragon eyes exhibiting profound respect, "The Sea God was one of the Ten Great Deity Sealers in history, and our Sea Dragon Clan had once been under his protection. On the eve of Divine Enthronement, Lord Sea God even engaged the King of the Fallen. During that battle, Lord Sea God wielded the Divine Artifact, the Pillar of Sea God, to refine the five strongest Giant Generals under the command of the King of the Fallen, posing a great threat to the Demon Clan at the time. However, later on, the King of the Fallen also broke the Pillar of Sea God, scattering it across oceans around the world. This Sea-Calming Divine Staff is a small fragment of it."

"So that means you possess a legacy from the Sea God?" Huang Yi suddenly asked, as the deeds of Dao Feng and Sharp Sword flashed in his mind - Dao Feng had obtained the Sword Emperor’s legacy, and Sharp Sword had obtained the Sword Emperor’s legacy. Both the Sword Emperor and the Sword Emperor were among the legendary Ten Great Deity Sealers, with the Sea God being a figure of equal fame.

"Only a small part of the legacy," the Sea Dragon Emperor nodded slightly, then changed the topic, "Where is your Giant General hidden? Take me there quickly!"

"Once you know that place, I’m afraid that even if I asked you, you wouldn’t go!" Huang Yi shook his head, "The Giant General is locked in a place that only I can enter. Once you go in, it’s as if you are locked there too. As the Sea Dragon Emperor, you surely wouldn’t take such a big risk!" Saying this, Huang Yi made his own suggestion, "Why don’t you lend me the Sea-Calming Divine Staff, and let me dispel the Demonic Attributes Imprint?"

"That place really is so miraculous? It seems you have extraordinary abilities!" The Sea Dragon Emperor muttered to itself, giving Huang Yi a long look where his gaze gradually shone with a peculiar brightness, and in the end, it nodded, saying, "Very well, you prevented the Giant General, having already contributed to our Dragon Sea, and furthermore, I quite like you. I will let you use the Sea-Calming Divine Staff for a while. However, we of the Sea Dragon Clan have a rule not to lend the Sea-Calming Divine Staff to an outsider, so if you want to use it, you must join us. Don’t worry, it won’t be at your disadvantage. I will make you a Council Member of our Dragon Palace, giving you the right to partake and deliberate on affairs, and let this Dragon Sea become your home, revered by billions of sea creatures."
