It was clear to anyone with discerning eyes that there was definitely more to Hong Li possessing the Sea Monster's Divine Ability than meets the eye.
This was not something that could be explained by a stroke of chance alone. The Sea Monster's Divine Ability was a secret that was not passed down, and it was the core of the Sea Monster's heritage.
How could they possibly give such a divine technique to an outsider?
Even if they did, their intentions would surely be malicious.
Yet, with just these facts, it was insufficient to label the water demon as colluding with the sea monsters.
The relationship between the sea monster and human clan was a peculiar one that was both stable and fragile.
The stability comes from the equal distribution of power between the two. As both sides are evenly matched, the closer their strength, the less likely there would be conflicts. Both sides would handle their relationship cautiously.
