Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!-Chapter 317

Chapter 317

The South Sea was primarily inhabited by mermaids, creating a paradise for them. In contrast, the North Sea’s mermaids were considered a branch. Li Su arrived at the White Dragon Clan’s assembly palace and, upon entering, spotted Long Han and the South Sea Queen he had met earlier.

“Su,” Long Han greeted Li Su with a smile. Long Kui, Long Han’s sister, was fervently attempting to achieve the Fusion state. The White Dragon Clan, mainly under Long Kui’s leadership, had grown to rely on Li Su. When the East Sea attacked the South Sea, forcing the mermaids to seek refuge in the West Sea, Long Han expressed gratitude towards Li Su.

Surprised to see him, the South Sea mermaid queen exclaimed, “It’s you.” A Divine Transformation mermaid saved by Li Su also recognized him with delight. “We meet again,” Li Su acknowledged.

Long Han, curious about their connection, asked, “Do you know each other?” The Divine Transformation mermaid explained that Li Su had saved them from an attack by Azure Dragon Beasts in the East Sea decades ago.

“Dad,” a young girl, Li Su and Long Kui’s daughter, ran in, calling Li Su her father. The Queen of the South Sea was surprised to learn about their family connection. Long Han clarified, “Su is my sister’s husband.”

Li Su, holding his daughter, inquired about the current situation. Long Han assured the South Sea Queen, Ruowei, of Li Su’s trustworthiness. Ruowei explained the East Sea’s sudden large-scale attack, which they successfully evaded due to prior information.

Ruowei elaborated on their cautious approach, having moved their sacred ground to a secluded location with warning enchantments between the East Sea and the South Sea. Ruowei revealed information obtained from the Azure Dragon Beast, indicating the East Sea’s ambitions to flood the entire Canglan Realm with seawater.

Li Su contemplated the revelation that the East Sea was behind events tens of thousands of years ago and pondered the astonishing aspects of Ruowei’s information.

Li Su was mentally prepared for the existence of combined-stage powerhouses in the East Sea, considering its size and prosperity. Ruowei’s speculation that the East Sea’s ultimate goal was to flood the entire Canglan Realm with seawater was the most astonishing revelation.

However, these were Ruowei’s speculations, and their accuracy was uncertain. She might have mentioned them to rally human cultivators against the East Sea aquatic clans. The possibility of pursuit by the East Sea aquatic clans had not surfaced yet, and Long Han expressed confidence in the West Sea’s alliance with the Returning Origin Sect for support.

Li Su inquired about dormant alchemists in the South Sea, and Su Wei confirmed their existence but mentioned the challenges in awakening them due to the hurried evacuation. Long Han proposed having Ruowei settle in the West Sea temporarily, observing the East Sea’s moves, and planning their next steps after Long Han’s sister reached the seventh order.

The complexity of the situation, with the East Sea’s strength and combined forces, led to the decision to settle in the West Sea for the time being. Li Su, respecting their decision, acknowledged the relief provided by the West Sea’s willingness to take them in. He decided not to intervene immediately, focusing on his own responsibilities.

As they agreed to revisit the situation after Long Han’s breakthrough, Li Su expressed confidence in Long Han but asserted that he wouldn’t stand idly by if the East Sea attacked the West Sea during this period. He requested materials from Long Han for crafting Taoist tools and insisted on exchanging pills for them.

After obtaining the materials, Li Su left the West Sea and swiftly traveled to the Southern Region. He instructed Liu Xiaowan to monitor the situation in the South Sea and returned to find a seemingly calm surface. However, as he delved deeper into the South Sea, he noticed occasional signs of unusual marine activity.

Entering the sea with his consciousness was influenced by the water, slowing down his perception and narrowing his range. Despite this, his substantial strength enabled him to sense a significant area.

The whereabouts of the East Sea aquatic clans remained unknown. Given the vastness of the South Sea, encountering them without precise information would largely depend on luck. After all, the aquatic clans primarily operated within the sea. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Li Su evaluated the situation and, after a brief exploration of the East Sea, headed to the Eastern Region. “The East Sea aquatic clans are quite proud and don’t pay much attention to us,” said the leader of the Tianluo Sect. Li Su had requested him to keep an eye on the East Sea’s activities and had also exchanged some materials with him before departing.

Upon returning to the Northern Region, Li Su spread out the collected materials. “I’m afraid it’s still not enough,” he murmured. The Taoist tool Li Su was preparing to craft this time was still a mirror but with multiple functions beyond defense. It could also be used for offense, capturing, and more, and it is designed to serve both offensive and defensive purposes.

Being a Taoist tool, it required a different structure compared to the framework that had been strengthened to the level of Extreme Treasure Taoist tools for the Azure Mirror. The Azure Orchid Mirror originated from the Celestial Sect’s Azure Light Mirror, and if it weren’t for Li Su, reaching the level of Supreme and Treasured Taoist tools would have been an exceptional achievement. Reaching the level of a Taoist tool from there was nearly impossible due to its innate limitations. So, this time, Li Su planned to create an entirely new Taoist tool from scratch.
