A Man Like None Other Chapter 6766 Rescue
Welcome, readers, please enjoy this chapter of the web novel.
- Leaders of Deep Blue City’s water race gather for an urgent discussion.
- A powerful figure, Shen Tianhai, demands a sacred Sea Soul Pearl for a captive.
- The water race leadership suspects the demand is a tactic for broader subjugation.
- Water Without Trace believes giving the pearl won’t resolve the issue.
“Sit down.” Finally he spoke, his voice low and calm, but everyone could feel the pressure behind that calm.
The twelve elders of the waters sat alternately around the stone table.
They were representatives of various factions in Deep Blue City, and also members of the council who discussed matters with Water Without Trace.
Everyone wore grim expressions, obviously they had already heard about what happened on Bibo Island.
“You all know about Lan Tide’s situation.”
Shui Wuhen’s voice echoed in the empty hall, “Shen Tianhai wants the Sea Soul Pearl.”
A white-haired old water cultivator frowned: “Sea Soul Pearl? He’s gone crazy! The Sea Soul Pearl is a sacred item, only one can be formed every ten thousand years. He directly asked for it; he’s threatening the foundation of the water race!”
“He wants to make the water creatures suffer.”
Another middle-aged water cultivator spoke up, his voice hoarse, “That old fox Shen Tianhai has operated in the Void Sea for tens of thousands of years and is very familiar with the weaknesses of the water race.”
He knew that we would not abandon anyone from our people, and he knew what the Sea Soul Pearl meant to us.
He didn’t want the beads; he wanted the aquatic creatures to submit.
“So we’re just going to give up?” A young elder slammed his fist on the table and stood up suddenly. “Lan Xi is a child of our clan! How old is she? She’s only seventeen! We can’t let her die on the beach!”
“No one said they would give up on Lan Tide.”
Shui Wuhen’s voice remained calm, but dark currents churned in his deep, ocean-like eyes. “But the Sea Spirit Pearl must not be handed over.”
Not because I was reluctant to part with him, but because Shen Tianhai never kept his promises.
Even if we hand over the beads, he won’t let go. He wants more—once he tastes success, he will become even more demanding.
Silence enveloped the hall.
Water Without Trace is right.
They had already seen through Shen Tianhai’s deception.
First, capture a member of the water tribe and force them to hand over the Sea Soul Pearl.
If they succeeded this time, what about next time?
What about next time?
He would continue to capture people from the water tribe and extort them until he got all the benefits from the water tribe.
“Then what should we do?” asked the white-haired old man. “If we don’t hand over the pearl, Lan Tide will die on the beach. The legal crackdown won’t stop because of negotiations. He won’t last more than a few days.”
“So we have to go and save him.” Shui Wuhen’s voice was calm after finally making a decision. “Send people to infiltrate Bibo Island and save Lan Tide.”
The hall was silent for a moment, then several elders spoke in unison: “Infiltrate Bibo Island? Shen Tianhai is at the peak of the second rank Great Luo Golden Immortal, and there are several other second rank Great Luo Golden Immortal experts on Bibo Island. The island’s protective formation has existed for tens of thousands of years. How could we possibly infiltrate?”
“It is precisely because everyone thinks it is impossible that no one is willing to take precautions.”
