C2306 The Echo Conch
"I shouldn't have done so. It was all because this old official revealed that there was a secret treasure underneath the Tidal Death Region that Prince Xining's greed was aroused. Your Majesty, please punish me!" Xihong was frightened to the point of prostrating on the ground, and his voice trembled as he spoke.
"Zhen ordered you to hand over the Mysterious Underworld Token..."
The Tidal King suppressed the rage in his heart and stretched out his hand to ask Elder Xihong for the Mysterious Underworld Token.
Elder Xihong originally wanted to delay for a period of time, but he didn't dare disobey the king's orders and could only obediently hand over the Mysterious Underworld Token.
"You should very much hope that Xiining is already dead, right?"
After the Tidal King received the Mysterious Underworld Token, he left behind an indifferent sentence before walking towards the Mysterious Underworld Pavilion.
"This old official is guilty!"
Xihong was also shocked by the Tidal King's words and broke out in cold sweat. He could only turn around and kowtow continuously to apologize.
Ignoring Elder Xihong and the others, the Wave King arrived at the Mysterious Underworld Teleportation Array at the fastest speed possible.
The Mysterious Underworld Sacred Pool was not unfamiliar to the Tidal King. He often entered this place to cultivate and could activate the Teleportation Array without the assistance of Elder Huchi. However, he disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
As soon as he entered the Mysterious Underworld Death Domain, the Tidal King started to look around. He was obviously trying his best to search for Prince Xining.
However, after searching for a long time, Xigu did not find any trace of him. He only felt a faint smell of blood at the tip of his nose, which made him feel somewhat uneasy.
Xigu did not go deeper into the Hell, because he subconsciously believed that Xining would not appear in an area less than 20 meters below.
The transmission area of the Mysterious Underworld Teleportation Formation was between 10 to 20 meters. Xining entering this place by mistake was already extremely dangerous.
The Tidal King never would have thought that he would actually continue to explore downwards. That was a place that even he didn't dare to rashly step foot in!
"Nephew Xining, you've traveled a long way to return to your homeland, but now you're dead without a burial ground. Uncle didn't protect you well... " The Wave King's expression was extremely sorrowful as he muttered to himself.
Actually, when the Tide King heard that Xining had mistakenly entered the Hell Region, he didn't hold much hope anymore.
Now, he had searched all the areas on the surface of the Hell, but he still hadn't found Prince Xining.
There was no need to guess too much about the result. Xining had probably been crushed into powder in an instant. The faint smell of blood in the sea already explained everything...
However, the Chao Ge King didn't notice that a strong, translucent flame trembled slightly about fifty meters away from the Hell.
Although Feng Yixiu had yet to completely undergo nirvanic rebirth, he could already sense the arrival of the Wave King. He immediately began to accelerate the reconstruction of his body.
"Your Majesty..."
Just as the Tidal King was about to leave the Mysterious Underworld barrier, an almost inaudible voice came from behind him.
Tidal King Xigu was also stunned for a moment. He thought that he had been too guilty and had hallucinated. However, a second voice that was even clearer sounded again.
Xigu suddenly turned around and saw Prince Xining swimming towards her at an extremely slow speed.
Xigu was also stunned for a moment. He rubbed his eyes with all his might, and only then did he confirm that he was not mistaken. The person in front of him was Prince Xining.
"Nephew Xining, you're still alive!"
Xigu suddenly accelerated, and her entire body shot out explosively like a thunderclap.
"I, Xining, wouldn't die so easily..."
The current Feng Yixiu was still a little weak. His face was still pale, but the reconstructed body was no longer afraid of the terrifying water pressure around him.
"Hahaha... Good boy, uncle knew that you would be fine!" Xigu patted Feng Yixiu's shoulder with excitement and spoke loudly.1
"I'm sorry for making you worry." Feng Yixiu smiled and said softly.
"It doesn't matter. However, this place is a very dangerous place. Why are you here?" Xigu calmed down slightly and asked curiously.
"I originally wanted to come to the Nether Hell's Saint Pond to temper myself, but I didn't expect that I would be stopped midway by Elder Xihong before I even entered the sect. He coaxed me repeatedly and tricked me into entering this place." Feng Yixiu said truthfully.
" Oh? How did that fellow trick you?" Xigu hurriedly asked.
"I can't explain it clearly for a moment, but my nephew has been in the martial arts world for many years, and he knows that he has to be careful in everything, so he used the echo conch of the Tidal Clan to record our conversation. Your Majesty, you will know immediately."
As he spoke, Feng Yixiu took out a uniquely shaped conch conch and passed it to Xigu.
This echo conch was quite a coincidence. It was one of the many rare treasures sent by the Chao Yin Princess, but it was unexpectedly put to use so quickly.
As the Wave King, Tiegu was naturally very familiar with the clan's echo conch. There were two mechanisms at the bottom of the Echo Conch: Echo and Echo. After pressing the echo mechanism at the bottom of the echo mechanism, the authentic conversation drifted out.
Listening to the conversation of the Echo Conch, Xigu's expression became more and more furious. The veins on his right hand, which was holding the Echo Conch tightly, bulged.
"Your Majesty, be careful not to break the conch..."
Feng Yixiu reminded him in a low voice, afraid that he would break the conch too easily.
"You should take it! Zhen is afraid that I won't be able to resist..." Tiegu thought for a while and placed the conch in Feng Yixiu's hand.
"Preposterous! Zhen has never seen such a shameless person!"
After hearing the entire conversation, Xigu was angered to the point his face flushed red, and he wished for nothing more than to charge out and punish Xihong on the spot.
"Uncle is truly a man of character, but there's no need to be so agitated, right?" Feng Yixiu spoke with slight doubt.
"Nephew probably doesn't know how that old thing, Xihong, slandered you outside just now. He simply spoke of you as being unpardonable, and spoke of intentional murder as if he was eradicating evil for the people..." Xigu said with a solemn expression.
"This Elder Xihong is merely a despicable person, so he's nothing to be worried about. What I'm most worried about is the person who instructed him behind the scenes." Feng Yixiu shook his head indifferently and said.
“ Oh? You mean the real mastermind is someone else?" Tigu could not help but furrow her brows and ask.
"Elder Xihong and I have no enmity between us in the past. What good will it do for him to plot against me?" Feng Yixiu replied with a question.
"So it's really like that. Xihong really doesn't have any motive to harm you...." Xigu lightly stroked her beard, and she pondered for a moment before asking. "Does nephew have any guesses in his heart?"
"It's not a guess, I'm already able to determine this person's identity!" Feng Yixiu said with certainty.
"To be honest, I already have doubts in my heart. I just don't know if we are talking about the same person." Xigu smiled slightly, then continued, "Uncle, why don't you count to three and we will tell you who we suspect at the same time?"
