Li Ping'an and Xuanyuan Huangdi had been communicating through whispered exchanges.
Just then, Immortal Huanglong woke up and began shouting, causing both men to rise to their feet and quite honestly startling the fish-headed warriors nearby.
"You two! What are you doing!"
First, three or four figures lunged forward, followed closely by more than a dozen slightly weaker fish-headed warriors.
Xuanyuan Huangdi, however, let out a hearty laugh, and suddenly a strong aura burst forth from him, causing the immortal ropes around him to slip off by themselves, and he raised his right hand with fingers spread towards the sky.
A wave of sword intent parted the seawater, idly pushing aside creatures on all sides, effectively clearing the area!
Xuanyuan Huangdi pulled Li Ping'an to his side with his left hand, while Li Ping'an grabbed hold of the immortal ropes binding Immortal Huanglong.
"Who dares!"
"This is an important place for the Ocean Race!"
