Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 477: Now that you have seen the real me, why don’t you bow?

Lu Zhan has always been willing to accept advice.

Ji Mengli's words were rough but logical, and to the point.

First of all, the stonemen are divided into two major factions, and secondly, the female stonemen are more ferocious and lustful.

Lu Zhan held Xiao Chu in his palm, carelessly squeezing and flattening him, but he had already made up his mind. Compared to a solid clan, this kind of clan with clear factions was easier to control.

However, although Nanhai has great respect for the Great Zhou court, after all, the emperor is far away and some things may not be as rosy as they seem on the surface, so we must be cautious.

"Mengli is right. I am too kindhearted and easily deceived. I should take precautions before this trip to the South China Sea."

Lu Zhan looked serious and acted as if he was willing to learn from others.

"?!"

Ji Mengli frowned, she didn't mean that. Lu Zhan was a wretch whose heart was black when he was cut open, how could he have the nerve to say that he was too kind?

Chu Wantang's eyes twitched, and she felt that Lu Zhan was really shameless, but she did not expose him. Instead, she silently raised her hand and blocked Lu Zhan's movements with her wide sleeves, and said seriously:

"That's true. The stone man we met in Yaoxiang Village is loyal and brave. I think he should be a conservative. When we get to the South China Sea, we can unite with him."

In fact, it is understandable that the Stonemen want to break their own shackles, give up guarding the seal of the South China Sea, and go to live on land.

Every ethnic group wants to live freely.

The Stonemen have been trapped in the South China Sea for too long, so it is natural for them to have such thoughts. As long as they do not harm other tribes, outsiders have no right to interfere.

However, the demons in Peacock Mountain are cunning and have just suffered a disaster of genocide. If they want to use the Stonemen to stir up trouble, that is another matter.

Lu Zhan did not want to be an enemy of the Stonemen. They had guarded the seal, and even if they had no merit, they had worked hard, so he said:

"When the time comes, it is better to persuade them and try not to take action."

"Don't worry." Chu Wantang narrowed her peach blossom eyes and said confidently, "I'm best at persuasion."

Lu Zhan nodded: "That's great. I'm also good at keeping a low profile. I hope this trip goes smoothly."

Compared with traveling to southern Xinjiang, traveling to the South China Sea is more complicated.

The first task was to find the Grand Master, whose understanding of the South Sea Monsters was undoubtedly better than anyone else's. The second was the Gu God and the South Sea Monsters, and finally the ambitions of the Stonemen.

However, since the South China Sea water creatures and the Stoneman tribe have become disloyal, they might get involved in the incident between the Gu God and the South China Sea monster tribe.

This kind of local gang is not very polite. If you want to sort things out, blindly keeping a low profile is not feasible. If you want the two tribes to behave themselves and not dare to make big obstacles in secret, you must first deter the two tribes.

It is necessary to show your power.

After all, when it comes to such a major matter as occupying land, it is useless to rely on a silver tongue. Only absolute force can calm the situation.

Lu Zhan was a little distressed. He was a down-to-earth and kind person, but he was not good at showing off his power.

……

……

South China Sea creatures, Water Palace.

In the glittering palace, Empress Haiyun knelt on the ground, looking terrified and humble:

"Old Ancestor, it is Haiyun who cannot distinguish right from wrong and was almost bewitched by the Gu God. Fortunately, you and Shui Fu returned in time, otherwise... otherwise Haiyun would be blamed for his death!"

Empress Haiyun's body trembled, her eyes full of admiration and respect.

The queen, revered by tens of thousands of water creatures, is just a respectful and humble junior in front of Wu Zu.

Although Wuzu disappeared since ancient times, its glory and contributions have been passed down from generation to generation. As a descendant of the water tribe, Haiyun dared not act rashly and was filled with fear in his heart.

Just a little bit...

She was just about to send the pearl to the crevice in the South China Sea!

If this is true, she will have made a huge mistake and become a sinner who brings disaster to the world, and she will not be able to atone for her sins even if she dies a hundred times.

Haiyun was extremely anxious and felt very scared.

Wu Zu looked at the kneeling Haiyun Niangniang, as if recalling the past years, his eyes were full of emotion, and his voice was old and vicissitudes:

"If I remember correctly...your mother's name is Shanhuzhu, right?"

Empress Haiyun did not dare to look up, she burst into tears and said: "I didn't expect that the ancestor still remembered my mother's name..."

"Your mother was an outstanding leader of the water tribe, a genius of her generation..." Wu Zu's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, and he sighed, "It's a pity... the younger generation is not as good as her."

"!"

Such a light sentence was like a sharp sword cutting into the heart.

Queen Haiyun's face flushed with shame:

"What the ancestor said is true. My mother is extremely intelligent and is known as the wisest of the South China Sea. It's a pity... I am not as good as my mother, but I am also diligent and dedicated to the development of the aquatic race!"

"It's just that the Shenbei Palace is the holy land of our clan. Haiyun never thought that the Gu God could actually invade there. That's why he almost made a huge mistake!"

"........."

Wu Zu looked at Hai Yun, and was not moved by her impassioned speech. Instead, he shook his head calmly:

"I am referring to your plan to go to the land with the Stonemen."

"..."

Empress Haiyun's body was stiff. She felt that Wu Zu's gaze was like a star falling to the ground. This pressure made it difficult for her to breathe. She forced herself to explain:

"Wu Zu Ming Jian... Hai Yun... Hai Yun is doing this all for the Shui Clan! The Shui Clan was born in the South China Sea, but the ground crack is also in the South China Sea. Hai Yun is very afraid that the Shui Clan will repeat the mistakes of the past three thousand years!"

"But there are demon-suppressing bureaus in all four places of the Great Zhou, which are responsible for managing the demons in their respective jurisdictions. Even if we want to leave the South China Sea, we still need permission from the demon-suppressing bureau. This is not fair to us..."

"Old Ancestor, Haiyun is all for the water people! Now that the Gu God has hidden himself in the world of immortal cultivation, even our holy land has been invaded. It can be seen that the South China Sea is in turmoil. Can the old ancestor bear to see us, the South China Sea water people, being threatened by the South China Sea monsters or the Gu God for generations?"

"..."

What happened three thousand years ago was a disaster for the entire world, and even more so for the aquatic creatures.

The water tribe and the stone tribe lived in the South China Sea, becoming the first slaughter point for the South China Sea monsters. Whenever Empress Haiyun thought of those cruel past events, she felt uneasy.

Wu Zu was trapped in the Thousand Valleys and was unable to lend a helping hand to his tribe. His expression was gloomy for a moment. He was silent for a while before he sighed softly:

"I hope that the dust and fog can replenish the mountains and seas, and the light of a firefly can enhance the brightness of the sun and the moon. This is a good thing. However, if the heart is not righteous, small confusions can easily change the direction, and big confusions can change the nature... If it leads to disaster, it will be regrettable..."

After saying this, Wu Zu put his hands behind his back and walked towards the holy land without looking back.

After returning to the Nanhai Sea Palace, Wu Zu immediately checked the Shenbei Palace and indeed detected the aura of the Gu God in the palace.

The one who disguised himself as "Wu Zu" and delivered the oracle was the Gu God.

Wu Zu knew very well that he did not have much time and had to recover his strength as quickly as possible in order to face the future catastrophe in the South China Sea.

As for the current power of the South China Sea creatures, he does not have the extra energy to interfere.

Compared to these, the South China Sea demon clan and the Gu God are more important.

……

"Rumble--"

After Wu Zu left, the gates of the Water Palace were tightly closed.

Empress Haiyun collapsed to the ground and said in frustration: "Shui Fu...did Mother do something wrong?"

Haiyun has worshipped Wu Zu since she was a child, and being denied a decision based on her own beliefs was an unprecedented blow to her.

Shui Fu knelt in front of Lady Haiyun and said softly:

"Mother is right, and so is the ancestor. The ancestor has been trapped in the Thousand Valleys for tens of millions of years, and his thinking and vision have long been out of touch with the times, so it is reasonable for him to have some concerns. And what's wrong with the queen mother being devoted to the water tribe?"

Empress Haiyun rubbed her head and said, "However, I still feel that cooperating with Peacock Mountain is not appropriate."

If it was the Peacock Mountain in the past, Queen Haiyun would naturally not doubt it. But now Peacock Mountain is doomed, and it is really unconvincing.

Shui Fu said thoughtfully: "Today's Peacock Mountain is nothing but a bunch of dirt chickens and clay dogs. It's just that they have what we need, so they are qualified to negotiate with us. Once we learn how to reshape it, we will naturally not need to cooperate with them."

"Moreover, during my trip to Southern Xinjiang, I deeply felt that Southern Xinjiang was not as good as the South China Sea. Living on land may not be a good thing. Moreover, we aquatic people were born in the sea, so living on land would be a waste of time."

"Besides, although there are many seas in the world of immortal cultivation, how many can compare to the spiritual energy of the South China Sea?"

"..."

Shui Fu never felt that going to land was the best choice. After experiencing Lu Zhan’s “teasing incident”, she felt that the South China Sea was still the best.

Those humans have too many tricks up their sleeves.

Empress Haiyun said: "But if we don't leave the South China Sea, when the South China Sea monsters reappear, we will be the first to bear the brunt..."

Shui Fu said, "In that case, mother, make your own decision. I will go to the ice of the South China Sea to atone my sins for three hundred years, and I will not be able to serve you... If you have any concerns, you may as well talk to my father."

Queen Haiyun grabbed Shui Fu's hands and said, "Nanhai Ice? That's an extremely cold place, how can you stand it?"

Shui Fu lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly:

"This is the oracle of the ancestor. Queen Mother, please do not say more. If you want to blame someone, blame your son for offending someone he should not have offended. The ancestor is going to the holy land to restore his strength. Queen Mother, you must protect the holy land and never let the Gu God take advantage of it. You must not tell anyone else about the ancestor's escape, not even my father."

Different ethnic groups face different interests and choices, so some things still need to be kept secret.

Speaking of Gu Shen, Empress Haiyun became even more worried:

"The Gu God is an evil god who does all kinds of evil. When the evil god caused chaos, our Nanhai suffered greatly... I thought the evil god was dead, but who could have thought that the evil god was so cunning..."

Shui Fu hugged Empress Haiyun and wanted to say something more, but the restrictions in her body forced her to leave.

This restriction was imposed by Wu Zu. One needs to face the ice wall in the South China Sea for three hundred years before it disappears.

"Take care, mother." Shui Fu cried and allowed the restriction to take her to the South China Sea Divine Ice.

Queen Haiyun was in a state of disarray. She was worried about the South China Sea monsters, the Gu God causing trouble, and even more worried about her conspiracy with the Stoneman tribe.

The Water Tribe and the Stoneman Tribe are related tribes, and if the Stoneman Tribe obtains the method of reshaping, it will also be of great benefit to the Water Tribe. However, the method of reshaping is in the hands of Black Sparrow, and if they do not cooperate with Black Sparrow, they will not be able to reshape their tribesmen.

But Black Sparrow was ambitious and tried to occupy Southern Xinjiang, but the ancestor did not agree to cooperate...

Queen Haiyun was upset. Having been in power for thousands of years, she had long developed the habit of being arbitrary. Now that her decisions were being questioned, she became anxious.

But if she gave up halfway because of the ancestor's stop, she would really be unwilling...

At this moment, a shrimp soldier came out from outside holding a fork and said:

"My lady, the leader of the Stoneman tribe and the Black Sparrow of Peacock Mountain are here."

Queen Haiyun stood up immediately, put away her embarrassed look, and took on her former noble queen's demeanor, smiling:

"Let them in."

……

"What do you think about Black Sparrow's proposal, Madam?"

As soon as Hei Que came in, he couldn't wait to ask questions.

Now that the life and death of the Princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty is unknown, this is the best time for them to take back Peacock Mountain and they cannot delay any longer.

Lady Haiyun passed by Heishan and her eyes fell on the leader of the Stonemen tribe: "Heishan, what do you think?"

Heishan is tall and pitch-black. He is the husband of Empress Haiyun. They have been married for many years, and Shuifu is the fruit of their love.

Heishan said: "How do I see it? I see it the same as before. Now that the life and death of the Grand Master is unknown, there is no leader in the Demon Suppression Division. This is indeed the best opportunity."
