Chapter 226 New Entrance
Chapter 226 New Entrance
Thinking of this, the mermaid princess couldn't help but feel bitter. It turned out that she was the only naive person from beginning to end.
Under everyone's attention, Liang Ming remained calm, blinked his azure eyes at Yun Qingyi, and then obediently said, "Actually, I know about this history."
After speaking, he looked at the mermaid princess, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "I just didn't expect that there would still be living mermaids in the mermaid palace back then."
"Huh? What do you mean?" A moment after saying that, Yun Qingyi seemed to realize something and looked at Liang Ming in a daze.
"Yes, I know the history of the Mermaid Palace being completely destroyed by the curse."
"The reason I am a living mermaid is simply because I do not belong to the Mermaid Palace, Qingyi."
"I am a merman belonging to another faction."
Upon hearing this, not only Yun Qingyi and the others, but also the mermaid princess was stunned for a moment.
“Impossible…” the mermaid princess murmured, “The curse will not spare any mermaid. Even if you are from another faction of mermaids, you cannot escape it.”
Yun Qingyi nodded as well. If the other faction of the Merfolk had a way, Tu Suo wouldn't have planned for so many years just to save Liang Meng.
He could go directly to another faction of the merfolk, since it would be easier to find someone from another faction.
Liangming smiled gently, not annoyed: "Actually, it was indeed as this senior merman said. Even though we are mermen from another faction, we were also burdened with the cursed fate. It was just a coincidence that our people were blessed by the Sea God and were fortunate enough to have the curse removed."
……
Ok……
It sounded a bit far-fetched, but it was a fairly reasonable explanation. Although the mermaid princess remained skeptical, she didn't ask any further questions.
"By the way, Liangming," Yun Qingyi continued walking and asked, "how much do you know about that so-called sea god?"
Upon hearing this, Liangming's gaze softened considerably, and he smiled slightly, "The Sea God is a very good deity. He helped us escape suffering and also helped us rebuild the Mermaid Palace."
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyi nodded, neither asking any further questions nor saying anything more.
Soon, the group arrived at the top floor of the palace, where Yun Qingyi carefully observed the place.
Actually, this place is much the same as it was a thousand years ago, just as beautiful and dreamlike. The only difference is that this place is much more gloomy than it was a thousand years ago.
Yun Qingyi took out a stone from her storage ring.
Seeing this, Ji Zhaoze and Yun Qingrou also took out the same stone.
The mermaid princess was slightly taken aback, and after recalling for a while, she realized: "This is a heart-shaped stone?"
Yun Qingyi nodded, weighed the stone in her hand, and raised an eyebrow slightly. "I don't know if it will still work, but it's the only medium here that can pass through the illusion and into the real world. Let's give it a try."
After saying that, Yun Qingyi asked the mermaid princess to lead the way and find the place where this region connected with the ancient sea.
Liangmeng, being perceptive, tugged at Yun Qingyi's sleeve and led Yun Qingyi and the others toward a rather eerie place.
The surrounding dreamlike light and shadow gradually darkened, turning a blood-red hue that made one feel extremely oppressed just by looking at it.
There were even intermittent, mournful songs echoing faintly in this floor.
Hearing these sounds, Leng Zhan subconsciously grabbed Ruan Qi's sleeve, "Junior Sister Ruan, let me grab it, I... I'm a little scared."
Ruan Qi's lips twitched, somewhat helplessly: "Then... Senior Brother, you can hold on to it."
Actually, she wasn't afraid at all. After all, she had almost died once before, so she didn't have any particular feelings about this kind of thing.
Fortunately, the journey was uneventful, and everyone soon found themselves standing in front of an archway.
"Inside here?" Yun Qingyi asked, looking at Liang Meng who had stopped.
Liangmeng nodded. "Yes, the feeling is very strong. It's probably inside here."
“However…” Liangmeng paused, seemingly hesitant about whether to continue.
