Chapter 52: The Secret of the Sea God

Ao Neng heard strangely, more than a hundred is more than a hundred, is there any fake? And for Kong Ming's asking this question in this tone, there is a subconscious resistance in his heart, after all, Kong Ming's way of asking is equivalent to a denial of the dragon family's intelligence, or disrespect for the dragon family, this kind of suspicion about their affairs, even if it is only a little bit, makes his dragon feel extremely aggrieved. Fortunately, Kong Ming didn't mean to target him when he said this, otherwise with the nature of the dragon clan, he would have turned his face and didn't recognize people a long time ago. Zhuge Yibu saw that the faces of Ao Neng and Ao Liang were a little abnormal, and as a god stick, of course he knew what was going on, so he said: "Hehe! This sentence of the commander is not a denial of your intelligence, nor is it a suspicion of you, but a suspicion of this matter itself. ”

His words were a little twisted, and Ao Liang was even more stunned. Only Ao Neng heard something, he thought for a while, and asked in a deep voice: "The commander means that there is a problem with these hundred people?"

Kong Ming didn't answer, and Zhuge Yibu took over directly: "What our commander said is that there is a problem with the list of one hundred people announced by the Mermaid Empire. ”

"What's the problem?" Ao Neng still needs to make the whole thing clearer, so what he needs now is not to think, but to listen to the other party's explanation, because different people have different understandings of a thing, and sometimes even very different, so only by listening more can he really be comprehensive.

"First, with the vitality of a Venerable One, it is very easy to live for tens of thousands of years. And now the Poseidon Empire has only been established for five thousand years, if their Venerable at that time was on average two hundred years old. That is, if you calculate the adult age of the mermaid, until now. Those Venerables were in the prime of life, and there was nothing that could make them fall, even if they fell in the war, they were only a few who fell, so with their number, they should be far more than the number shown now, in other words, in addition to the more than a hundred Venerables shown on the front, they also hid many Venerables. And these Venerables will be the most fundamental and high-end combat power of the Mermaid Empire, if we misestimate this shape, then we will be greeted by a huge defeat. You must know that if they only have more than 100 Venerables, not to mention anything else, just those people from the four major royal families will not be as safe as they are now, so it is an illusion to say that they have more than 100 Venerables. Zhuge Yibu analyzed, I have to say that this explanation is very convincing, every Venerable is a pillar of an empire. Every Venerable is the most powerful existence of a family, where can it fall?, so those Venerable Beings who are placed on the surface with the Seagod Empire are just a deterrent, if they really think that they only have these Venerables, then that. It has long been eaten up by other empires.

Ao Neng didn't refute it after hearing this, because their Sea Dragon Empire had also made the same analysis and came to the same conclusion. It's just that there's no conclusive evidence, regardless of other empires. It is like their Sea Dragon Empire that hides many unknown Venerables, and some of these Venerables are in pursuit of a higher realm. Some are indifferent by nature, some don't want to be used by the empire, etc., no matter what the reason, there are many Venerable hidden in all corners of the empire, and some even a dozen or so get together, forming a forbidden area-like storage zĂ i, disobeying management, making them very angry.

"This is indeed a reason that I have to agree with, alas! I have nothing to say, so what is the second reason?" Ao Neng asked helplessly.

"With the first reason, there is a second reason, which is also a question, and the second reason is based on the first reason, since they still have so many Venerable Beings, then the question is where are those Venerables hidden? Zhuge Yibu said, his words around like this really made Kong Ming a little dizzy, hiding is hiding, where does it become a reason, oh, or is it a problem? Kong Ming has some incomprehension. Ao Liang couldn't figure it out, only that Ao Neng was still thinking constantly, for a long time, when Kong Ming felt that it was a long time, Ao Neng slowly raised his head, and there was some redness in his eyes, Kong Ming knew that this was the other party was trying his best to think about the problem, and this was the expression of the dragon clan after thinking into a dead end, Ao Neng's voice was a little hoarse and asked: "Where are they hiding?"

Zhuge Yibu was taken aback, he didn't know much about the Dragon Clan, obviously he didn't know much about this situation, and he knew even less about the Seagod Empire, so there was no way to answer this question. So he simply waved his hand and said, "How do I know?"

"You don't know how you can say that!" Ao Neng shouted directly, as an envoy at this time, he has lost some control over himself, to put it bluntly, he is no longer a qualified envoy. The loud sound shook the ears of the few people who were seated, and after the soldiers who were guarding around saw this situation, they rushed over one after another, directly surrounding Ao Liang and Ao Neng on three sides, and by the way, also surrounded Kong Ming and Zhuge Yibu in the middle.

Zhuge Yibu didn't know what was going on, of course Kong Ming didn't know, and only the two dragons were clear, and at this time, Ao Liang couldn't move, and he couldn't move at all, because the people around him were gods, and his breath was stronger than him, and Ao Neng was also a little sober after yelling, after all, he was directly in the center of the oppression of the momentum of those guards, and he naturally suffered more.

"It's okay, it's okay, let's go!" Kong Ming waved his hand, letting those people retreat to the guarding position, and then asked directly to Ao Liang: "Brother Ao, although our personal relationship is okay, but, it seems that you should give us an explanation for this situation just now!"

Looking at the two dragons who had lost their minds, Kong Ming's heart was directly refreshed, and at the same time, he was directly amazed. The power of the divine stick is really powerful, and a powerful divine dragon actually made him lose color and lose shape in a few words. Talent!

"It's not a shame to say this, that is, in the war of the expansion of the Poseidon Empire five thousand years ago. Elder Ao Neng's wife died there, and his enemy is a Venerable in the Poseidon Empire, who is said to have died, and now I know that this is just a way for the Poseidon Empire to hide people's eyes, so the enemy must also be alive, so Elder Ao Neng will be in such a gaffe, I'm sorry, here I apologize to you on his behalf. Ao Liang explained it clearly in just a few words, and Kong Ming and the two didn't pursue this matter too much. After all, this is a cruel thing for Ao Neng, if they say it again, they will be rubbing salt on the wound, this is not their style. Several people drank tea while waiting for Ao Neng to slowly recover, while still thinking about what needed to be done in the next negotiation. Or is Kong Ming the only one who is the most idle among these people, with the god stick here, where does he care about these quarrels?

"I'm sorry for the gaffe!" said Ao Neng, who had recovered his senses, after calming down.

"It's okay, this is human nature, you continue to talk!" Kong Ming smiled and directly brushed over the matter. No more going into this kind of detail.

"May I ask Zhuge Gaoshen, can you tell me where they are hiding? If you know, please tell me, I am grateful!" Ao Neng stood up. bowed directly to Zhuge Yibu.

Looking at the other party's serious appearance, Zhuge Yibu really couldn't laugh or cry, how did he know where those Venerables were hiding? But the other party has already performed such heavy etiquette. Let him do what next, everyone's eyes are on him. Let him, a god, have some unbearable standing it, after all, they are all gods. Some even have Venerable Ones, and this kind of pressure is not something that everyone can afford. Just when he was in a dilemma, Kong Ming spoke: "Actually, it's not too difficult to know about this place, or it's very easy, but you haven't noticed. ”

Hearing this, Zhuge Yibu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, in terms of verbal skills, he could throw Kong Ming a few streets, and when it came to military matters, it would be reversed.

"What do you mean by that?" Ao Liang asked, for him, the current Ao Neng heard the news that those Venerable Ones who should have died were still alive, and there was something abnormal in his heart, so it was not suitable for the next negotiation with the expeditionary force before he replied, and the reaction was that it was the time to talk about it, and it didn't matter if he said something.

"Such a place should be very easy for you to find if it has the following conditions. Kong Ming smiled, of course he knew Ao Liang's skills clearly, and he didn't say anything at the moment.

"What conditions?" this time it was Ao Neng's turn to ask, and his mood was slowly calming down.

"The first one, it is a holy place of cultivation, this is a must, only a holy place of cultivation can allow those Venerable Beings to hide and practice, and obviously those who are placed outside must be the weak among those Venerables. "Kong Ming Dao.

"That's right, listening to those older generations, it is very difficult for Venerable to break through, even if there are more resources, it is very difficult! This may also be the reason why the Poseidon Empire has been expanding in all directions over the years. Ao Neng thought for a while and said.

Kong Ming and Zhuge Yibu glanced at each other, and they all knew that they had inadvertently heard another message from the Seagod Empire, that is, they had been fighting, if they didn't attack the side of Alcatraz Island, it must be a mismatch in attributes, Alcatraz Island was really too barren for them, and they didn't have much interest, and behind Alcatraz Island was a steady stream of Demon Realm, so Alcatraz Island indirectly helped Huatian Continent to prevent a disaster. And the reason for their war must be for resources, you must know that in this world where the Divine Yuan is extremely lacking, every bit of the Divine Yuan is worth cherishing, after all, not every force like Kong Ming can directly use the formation to turn the Divine Yuan in the Heavenly Tribulation into a Divine Stone. And the maintenance of the holy place of cultivation requires constant energy input.

"Hmm, there are hundreds of places like this in the entire Seagod Empire, with different sizes, so it's too hard to find!" Ao Neng thought about it and sighed, the area of the Seagod Empire is vast, and more than a hundred places are simply a drop in the sea for them.

"Well, the second aspect, that is, that holy place is close to the imperial capital of the Poseidon Empire. In other words, the imperial capital of the Poseidon Empire was established based on that holy place of cultivation. Said Kongming.

"This is also very understandable, after all, when they established the imperial capital, they must have thought of using the strong to restrain the strong, this is an inevitability of every country, and only next to the holy land, those mermaids will feel at ease, and only in this way will they not be afraid of being exterminated by the strong. Such a place has shrunk a lot, that is, it is placed near the imperial capital of the Poseidon Empire, well, there are about a dozen such places. "Ao Neng obviously has a lot of knowledge about the Seagod Empire, especially the Seagod Imperial Capital, he must be very familiar with it.

After Kong Ming and Zhuge Yibu heard this, they looked at Ao Neng with some incredulity.

"Elder Ao was once in charge of the intelligence of the entire Sea Dragon Empire. Ao Liang looked at Ao Neng on the side and explained, but his words did not make Kong Ming and Zhuge Yibu relax a little, after all, this can't explain anything, it's not convincing, only people who have really stayed in the Seagod Empire for a long time can know these things, and they are too familiar to be more familiar.

"There's nothing bad to say about this, I have been with the crown prince of the empire as a hostage in the Poseidon Empire for decades, so I am very familiar with it, especially the imperial capital of the Poseidon Empire. Ao Neng smiled bitterly, anyone who has this kind of experience doesn't want to say it, this is also human nature.

"Well, the next thing is that the Holy Land has very little contact with the outside world, or it can be said that they have almost no contact with the outside world except for a few merfolk in the royal family. Only in this way can they meet the requirements of seclusion. Kong Ming said again.

"If you say this according to the commander, then there are three places that are eligible in the imperial capital of the Seagod Empire. They are Tanah Lot Temple, Huangling, and Yizhu Mountain. Ao Neng thought about it and said directly.

"Tell me about it. Kong Ming took a sip of tea with interest, and the faint taste of the leaves of the tree of life seeped directly into his mouth, since there was Mu Zirong, the tea leaves in the headquarters of the expeditionary force were provided by him, and what made people laugh and cry was that Mu Zirong was also a tea ceremony lover among them, and he really had a feeling of eating himself.

"Tanah Lot Temple, is a place to serve the god of the sea, where the area is vast, the aura is extremely heavy, and even some aura can form spirit stones, that is to say, the energy there is the most abundant, can become a hiding point. The Poseidon Temple has a small sacrifice on the fifteenth day of each seam, and the small sacrifice is to sacrifice to the sea god for the emperor by the heirs of the emperor state, that is, those princes, and the major festivals are sacrificed by the emperor himself. Needless to say, the place where the dead imperial relatives are buried is full of energy, but it is lifeless, so it has become a forbidden place. And a pillar mountain, is the only stone pillar in the entire imperial capital, the stone pillar is full of energy, occasionally the god yuan floats out, is a holy land. Every year, a number of merfolk are allowed to enter for various reasons, and once those merfolk leave, they are often unstoppable in strength. Ao Neng said slowly.

"It seems that only Yizhu Mountain is the most likely hiding place for those Venerables!" Zhuge Yibu sighed. (To be continued......)
