Chapter 861 Zhenyuan Pass
"Then tell me, where is that place?"
Su Chen continued to ask.
I can't tell you that right now.
Liu Guang pursed her red lips and said earnestly,
"Unless you can send me to Zhenyuan Pass."
"Zhenyuan Pass? Where is that?"
"It is a checkpoint that Atlantis uses to block its enemies, located at the very edge of the kingdom."
Liuguang explained.
"You still have enemies?"
"Yes!"
Just outside the territory of Atlantis, there are vast underwater volcanoes.
This place is inhabited by underwater creatures called the Lava Clan.
Unlike the merfolk who have evolved towards human form, these lava people still retain their primitive biological appearance.
Due to the harsh living environment, the Lava Clan creatures frequently launch attacks on Atlantis.
To defend against enemy invasion, Atlantis built a pass called Zhenyuan Pass.
Elite merfolk soldiers are stationed inside the pass, and the general in charge of commanding them is named Yan Yue.
He was also of royal lineage, and was not only highly respected but also extremely powerful.
Yan Yue is Liu Guang's uncle, and she plans to ask him to help stop Mo Yuan!
"No, Princess Liuguang, am I being too kind to you?"
Su Chen's expression grew increasingly cold.
If it weren't for the portal, he would have killed Liuguang long ago, instead of wasting time talking until now.
Liu Guang, on the other hand, keeps challenging Su Chen's bottom line!
“I once saw the portal you described in an ancient book.”
"But I can't remember the exact location of that portal."
"As long as we find that ancient book, we can find the portal you're looking for!"
Liu Guang hurriedly said.
Su Chen raised an eyebrow, his expression softening temporarily.
Where is that ancient book now?
"It's right here in the royal city!"
Su Chen almost laughed out of anger.
Judging from Liu Guang's words, after he sent her to Zhenyuan Pass, he would have to wait for Yan Yue to mobilize his army and overthrow Mo Yuan before he could find the ancient book in the royal city.
Even if Yan Yue could kill Mo Yuan, I might not be able to wait that long!
"Are you kidding me?"
"Sir, I assure you, what I said is absolutely true!"
Ryuko added.
Su Chen's expression was uncertain. After pondering for a moment, he turned around and explained the situation to Luo Xiaotian and the others.
"Brother Su, I feel like this girl isn't lying."
Wang Yan interjected.
"Come on, your values are based on people's physical appearance, aren't they?"
Ding Di rolled his eyes.
"Bullshit, I was just stating my opinion."
"Alright, you two, stop arguing."
Luo Xiaotian quickly stopped Wang Yan and Ding Di from arguing, then turned to look at Su Chen.
"Boss Su, even if Princess Liuguang wasn't lying, Yan Yue still overthrew Mo Yuan in a short time, stormed the royal city, and helped us obtain the ancient book."
"But that doesn't mean that the records in ancient books are true."
Su Chen nodded slightly.
"What you said is exactly what I was worried about."
Even without ancient texts or a portal, given enough time, Su Chen wouldn't mind helping Princess Liuguang overthrow Mo Yuan's rule.
After all, she said that the royal family has many treasures.
If I succeed, I'll have done a great service by helping the emperor rise to power. It wouldn't be too much to ask for some benefits, would it?
But for Su Chen and his group, time was the most troublesome issue.
They sent Liuguang to Zhenyuan Pass and persuaded Yan Yue to raise an army to overthrow Mo Yuan and attack the royal city.
Find the ancient book, and then find the location of the portal according to the records in the book.
Twelve days are simply not enough to complete this series of operations!
Su Chen pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Liu Guang and said calmly,
"Princess Liuguang, I'm sorry, I don't have that much time, so I apologize."
"I intend to return you to Mo Yuan!"
Compared to Liu Guang's request, Su Chen felt that it would be more convenient to capture her and hand her over to Mo Yuan in exchange for the ancient books!
He waved his hand, signaling Wang Yan and the others to come up and arrest Liu Guang!
Seeing Su Chen and the others surrounding them, Liu Guang panicked.
"Wait a minute!"
"Only I know which ancient book it is and where it is."
"If you really arrest him and hand him over to Mo Yuan, I would rather die than tell you!"
Su Chen's expression turned cold again.
"Are you threatening me?!"
"No, no, no, how could I dare threaten you? I just hope we can reach an agreement!"
Su Chen felt a headache coming on.
Although he could kill Liuguang directly, that would cut off the clues about the teleportation array.
If I let Ding Di use mind control, I can certainly obtain information from the ancient books.
But Liuguang would become an idiot!
I've handed an idiot over to Mo Yuan, who knows what Mo Yuan will do!
For a moment, Su Chen didn't know what to do.
I never imagined that I would be outmaneuvered by a mermaid!
"Sir, I am sincerely looking to cooperate with you; I have no other intentions."
"As long as you're willing to help me, we can talk about anything else."
"Mo Yuan is an unruly and arrogant person. Making a deal with him will only bring you harm and no benefit!"
"Or if you have any difficulties, you can tell me, and maybe we can help each other out."
Liu Guang looked at Su Chen, her beautiful eyes full of sincerity.
Seeing how humble she was, Su Chen decided not to put on airs either.
"Alright, to tell you the truth, we are not from the seabed, we come from the land."
"land?"
Liuguang's eyes were filled with confusion.
Don't you know what land is?
"do not know."
From the moment she was born, Liuguang lived in the sea.
"Didn't you try swimming upwards?"
Su Chen pointed to the top of his head.
"We tried, but there was a cover on top that prevented us from swimming up!"
Liuguang explained.
It turned out to be the case.
No wonder she didn't know about land.
Su Chen spent a while explaining the land to Liu Guang and describing their situation.
Liuguang suddenly realized,
“I understand. So you must find the portal and leave here before the potion runs out.”
Su Chen nodded slightly.
"If you have a way to solve our predicament, I'll not only send you to Zhenyuan Pass, but I'll even help you overthrow Mo Yuan."
"To be honest, I don't have any ideas."
Liuguang looked troubled.
"However, my uncle Yan Yue is very knowledgeable and experienced, so he might have some ideas."
Su Chen stroked his chin and pondered,
"How far is it from here to Zhenyuan Pass?"
"According to your human time system, it would take at least five days!"
Five days!
It will take almost half of the tidal lung reagent.
If Yan Yue has no way out, then we are basically doomed!
But apart from this road, there are no other roads that can be taken.
What should we do?
