Chapter 4705: 4.0457 The Legend of the Sea Sacrifice Abyss
Long Xiangyun didn't even realize tears were streaming down her face. She looked at the extremely aged woman before her, pleading earnestly, "Can we discuss it with the little poker face, please? Discuss it, she actually..."
She's someone you can reason with.
"At a time like this, when the arrow is on the string, it must be shot! Do you think discussion is still useful?" Long Qian wished she could hit her two grandchildren over the head. They were simply too disappointing. Just like their father, soft-natured and weak, which was why for all these years, she had to remain in the patriarch's position, struggling to support the entire Long clan. If they had been capable enough, she would have long since delegated authority to them to manage the clan's affairs.
Long Qian coldly watched Qiao Mu charging towards her. Suddenly, she turned around and rapidly swam towards the beach. She dove into the seawater, and surrounding her, startled cries of "Patriarch!" rang out.
Seeing this, the little poker face also retracted her Blood-Patterned Demonic Dragon and flew into the seawater. Long Qian trying to out-speed her in the sea was wishful thinking. This time, she would completely resolve the karmic conflict between her mother, herself, and the entire Forgetfulness River Long clan and Long Qian.
"Where is Grandmother going, Big Brother?" Long Xiangyun tightly clasped her hands, an inexplicable hint of panic on her face. She now had a very, very bad premonition swirling rapidly in her heart. She even felt that although the world was bright at the moment, to her eyes, it was an ink-black darkness that couldn't be dispelled.
She was panicking, an unreasoning, intense panic. It was as if merciless disaster was about to descend upon their entire clan. Because of the Long clan patriarch, her grandmother's stubborn and self-willed misjudgment, perhaps they would face the complete destruction of the entire Forgetfulness River...
"No!!" Long Hui suddenly came to his senses and swiftly ran towards that part of the beach. As he ran, he desperately tried to transform his fish tail, calling out urgently, "Grandmother, stop, please stop!"
"Big Brother, where are you going? Where are you going?" Long Xiangyun, in extreme panic, chased after him, calling out uneasily, "Big Brother!"
"Xiangyun, you go back first." Long Hui's face was extremely grim at this moment.
"No, Big Brother, I want to go with you." Long Xiangyun was unusually resolute for once. "What exactly does Grandmother want to do?"
"She's leading the little poker face to the Sea Sacrifice Abyss," Long Hui said, his face distorted with grief, his fish tail swaying as if his body couldn't swim steadily.
The color quickly drained from Long Xiangyun's face.
The Sea Sacrifice Abyss – that was the gathering place where the Merman tribe honored the heroic souls of the sea. Legend had it that the patriarch of the Merman royal family could summon a mysterious power within the Sea Sacrifice Abyss and wield it...
"Grandmother wants to!!" Long Xiangyun's small face was pale, her lips trembling repeatedly. "She wants to use that mysterious power from the Sea Sacrifice Abyss to strip, strip away, strip away the Ten-Thousand-Year Mermaid Pearl from the little poker face's body!"
"No!" Long Hui roared in anger, swiftly sliding into the sea and swimming towards the depths.
Grandmother had promised him not to harm the little poker face, Grandmother had promised him! Grandmother's heart, just as the little poker face had said, was truly so ruthless! She could even calculate and deal with her own maternal granddaughter to such an extent!
She had deceived him; she had been deceiving him all along! Because from the very beginning, she had no intention of letting the little poker face go.
