50: It's a pity that it hasn't read Journey to the West
The Shrimp Soldier swam toward the bottom of the sea in a panic.
Lin Mu and Yun Feiyang followed the Shrimp Soldier, keeping a moderate distance.
The freezing seawater was kept at bay by their spiritual energy.
The Shrimp Soldier occasionally looked back.
It discovered that the two humans were still following it.
It couldn't shake them off no matter what.
So, it pulled out a conch and blew into it with all its might.
The conch didn't emit a sound, but rather a strange sonic wave that propagated in all directions.
After blowing the conch, the Shrimp Soldier's fear subsided slightly.
It had now escaped to the core area of the Dragon Race.
As long as a master from the Dragon Palace heard the message, they would surely arrive in time.
It thought with a sinister look in its eyes: "Damn humans, I'll make sure you die without a burial place later."
After the Shrimp Soldier fled for a few more hundred meters, a colossal creature suddenly blocked its path.
"Was that you who sent out the distress signal just now?" the colossal creature asked.
The Shrimp Soldier quickly bowed: "Greetings, Turtle Prime Minister, it was indeed I who sent the message."
The Turtle Prime Minister's body was as large as a football field.
He was a sea turtle demon beast that had lived for thousands of years.
His strength had long reached the peak of the eighth level.
Coupled with his indestructible shell, he could even contend with a ninth-level demon beast.
He held a very high position in the entire Dragon Palace; even the Dragon Princes treated him with utmost respect.
Although the Turtle Prime Minister's body was enormous, his speed was not slow at all.
He rushed over immediately after receiving the message.
At this moment, he was listening to the Shrimp Soldier report the entire incident.
The Shrimp Soldier's words enraged the Turtle Prime Minister.
He had always been prejudiced against humans.
In his youth, the Turtle Prime Minister lived on the edge of the Endless Sea.
He had seen too many sea creatures brutally killed by humans.
He himself had been injured by humans.
Fortunately, he encountered the passing Dragon King, who saved him.
Now, humans dared to trespass on his territory; he was determined to kill those two.
Just then, his sharp gaze fell upon Lin Mu, who had followed them.
He said with a chilling tone: "Are you two the ones who massacred my Dragon Palace subjects?"
Facing this colossal creature, Lin Mu said without changing his expression: "We only wanted to meet your Dragon King; they were the ones who sought death."
"You can't blame anyone else for that."
No sooner had Lin Mu finished speaking than Yun Feiyang, standing beside him, said with an even more arrogant tone:
"Old turtle, stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and inform the Dragon King to come and greet us."
When the Turtle Prime Minister heard that Yun Feiyang dared to disrespect the Dragon King, his killing intent immediately flared up.
His massive body suddenly lunged forward, arriving in front of Yun Feiyang.
He opened his cavernous mouth and swallowed Yun Feiyang in one gulp.
This action made the Shrimp Soldier on the side cheer excitedly.
"Prime Minister is mighty! These puny humans overestimate themselves and court death!"
After swallowing Yun Feiyang, the Turtle Prime Minister's gaze once again fell upon Lin Mu.
He said with an arrogant tone: "This is the price of arrogance. Now it's your turn."
"I'll give you one chance. As long as you kneel and kowtow to admit your mistake, and swear never to step into the Endless Sea again."
"I can let you leave. What do you say?"
His enormous head approached Lin Mu, his eyes full of mockery.
Lin Mu ignored the Turtle Prime Minister's words.
He stood in place, counting down numbers under his breath.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
The Shrimp Soldier on the side scoffed: "This human must be scared silly. Prime Minister, just send him on his way."
The Turtle Prime Minister looked at Lin Mu muttering to himself, somewhat puzzled by the meaning of the numbers the human was speaking.
Just as Lin Mu counted to "zero."
He suddenly smiled and said: "I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to kneel and kowtow."
No sooner had Lin Mu's words fallen.
The Turtle Prime Minister's expression changed dramatically, revealing a look of pain.
His massive body thrashed around in the sea.
He cried out in agony: "Stop quickly! How dare you hurt me! The Dragon King will not let you off!"
His words were meant for Yun Feiyang.
At this moment, Yun Feiyang was inside the Turtle Prime Minister's belly.
He was commanding his Natal Flying Sword to fly up and down inside his stomach.
All the internal organs inside the Turtle Prime Minister's entire belly were shredded into pieces by Yun Feiyang's flying sword.
The Turtle Prime Minister's previously thrashing body had now stopped.
He floated weakly in the sea, blood constantly gushing from his mouth.
His tragic appearance terrified the Shrimp Soldier to its core.
It was somewhat confused as to how the Turtle Prime Minister had suddenly become like this.
Seeing the Turtle Prime Minister's weak state, it seemed he wouldn't survive.
It threatened with a lack of confidence: "Quickly release the Turtle Prime Minister, otherwise the great Dragon King..."
Before the Shrimp Soldier could finish speaking, Lin Mu bent his finger into a sword and then waved it casually.
A faint sword qi instantly cut the Shrimp Soldier into pieces.
Lin Mu disdainfully spat out two words: "Noisy."
Lin Mu's casual strike terrified the half-dead Turtle Prime Minister, scaring him out of his wits.
He looked at Lin Mu in disbelief.
This young man actually possessed the attack methods of the Great Emperor Realm.
He had clearly seen it just now.
When Lin Mu made his move, there was a faint Power of the Heavenly Dao.
Only a powerful Great Emperor would possess such spiritual energy.
Thinking of this, he resignedly lowered his head, awaiting death.
Just then, Yun Feiyang's sword pierced through the Turtle Prime Minister's shell, and he flew out, landing on his back.
At this, the Turtle Prime Minister's dim eyes showed a hint of pain again.
Yun Feiyang stood on the turtle's back, laughing mockingly: "Old turtle, didn't your elder tell you not to eat random things outside?"
Lin Mu couldn't help but chuckle inwardly: "Too bad he hasn't seen Journey to the West."
Yun Feiyang's words made the Turtle Prime Minister unable to help but spit out another mouthful of old blood.
Lin Mu saw that the old turtle had one foot in the grave.
He quickly used the Power of the Heavenly Dao to protect his heart meridian.
Lin Mu still had questions for the old turtle and couldn't let him die just yet.
The Turtle Prime Minister raised his head blankly, looking at Lin Mu, not understanding Lin Mu's intention.
Lin Mu then spoke: "Take me to see the Dragon King, and I can restore your body. Otherwise, you can just wait to die here slowly."
Upon hearing this, the Turtle Prime Minister's voice was sharp: "Make me betray the Dragon King? You wish."
"Let alone death, what if I'm torn to pieces?"
Lin Mu smiled calmly and said: "I have no ill intentions in coming here; I merely want to borrow something from the Dragon King. You don't need to be nervous."
The Turtle Prime Minister grew even angrier upon hearing this.
"Of all those who came to borrow things, which one ever returned them? None of you humans can be trusted."
Lin Mu was somewhat surprised: "Besides me, have others come to borrow things from the Dragon King?"
The Turtle Prime Minister said helplessly: "Over these thousands of years, there have been more than a thousand people who coveted the Dragon Race's treasures."
"Only a handful of people have truly managed to find the Dragon Palace."
"But even these few people once caused endless trouble for the Dragon Palace."
"Therefore, for the peace of the Dragon Palace, I will not tell you where the Dragon King is. Give up on that idea."
The old turtle said a lot in one breath, then lowered his head heavily.
After a moment of thought, Lin Mu realized that Li Changgong, the founding emperor of the Yanshan Kingdom, must have been here.
The jade slip Lin Mu obtained in the Li family's tomb should have come from the Dragon Palace.
However, it was a pity that the jade slip had been given to Lao Mo, so there was no way to take it out for verification.
Nevertheless, Lin Mu immediately took out the jade slip that Emperor Bing had given him.
He showed the jade slip to the old turtle and then spoke.
"This jade slip records the location of the Dragon Palace. Even if you don't tell me, I can find it myself."
The Turtle Prime Minister's lowered head suddenly shot up.
He stared intently at the jade slip, saying in a disbelieving tone: "Impossible, how could you possibly know that the Dragon Palace is in..."
The Turtle Prime Minister almost blurted it out.
But Lin Mu continued: "Are you trying to say, how do I know the Dragon Palace is in the sky?"
