Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 380 - 379: Acting

Chapter 380: Chapter 379: Acting

Wandering laughter echoed through the underwater ruins, the old man’s aged body trembling violently with the laughter, as if he was about to laugh off the little flesh remaining on his bones.

For a full quarter of an hour, this old man probably hadn’t laughed this long for tens of thousands of years, a quarter-hour of laughter leaving him gasping for air and eventually coughing intensely.

Bubbles gurgled up through the water, finally, the old man had to stop.

Lin Hao pinched his chin.

"Is it that funny?"

At this moment, Lin Hao felt the urge to slap the old man’s face.

The old man, at this moment, finally raised his head, glanced at Lin Hao with contempt, his expression somewhat manic, and then looked at the Half Mermaid beside him, laughing even more fiercely: "That’s right, just like that, what, you disagree? No one can leave this Sea of Curse, no one in the past, no one now, and no one will in the future!"

"Father! Do you really want our Atlantis clan to be forever suppressed here, forever cursed? Being neither human nor ghost, don’t you understand why I want to lead our people away, why I am doing this? I don’t want our people to be cursed forever, nor do I want to be trapped here forever!"

Holy Daughter Zi Yue seemed to have anticipated the old man’s response. Before Lin Hao could speak, she stepped ahead and walked in front of the old man.

"In the past, we weren’t like this, we were like humans, but after being cursed, our people began to mutate!"

"Look at you, then look at us. It’s been ten thousand years, a full ten thousand years! Are you really content for all of us to be trapped here for another ten thousand years?"

"I betrayed you, purely because I do not want our people to remain buried here forever, do not want to be forever oppressed under the sea, living a life neither human nor ghost, seeing no sunlight, no hope, and no future!"

"Back then, when you traversed the All Worlds and achieved eternity, was it for today?"

"No, that’s not you, this isn’t you!"

"What’s happened to you!"

"Father, can you come back? Can you look at your daughter, look at your people?"

"Don’t you really want all this to be buried with you?"

Holy Daughter Zi Yue’s voice nearly turned into a scream, her words echoing inside the water, full of emotion, becoming more tearful and sobbing towards the end.

There must be many stories here, but Lin Hao didn’t care.

He just stood aside, watching this father-daughter performance.

This Atlantis clan seemed to have been suppressed for ten thousand years, all becoming mentally unhinged, each of them with high acting skills and engaging in melodramatic actions, who knew if this old and young pair was putting on a show right now?

"I’ll give you fifteen minutes to think, if you refuse to reveal the method to leave, I will kill you immediately. If you’re willing to tell the method to leave, perhaps, I could free you from the Soul-devouring Iron."

Just an old man; if he doesn’t want to disclose the method to leave, might as well kill him on the spot.

"Father!"

A quarter-hour, not a long time, Holy Daughter Zi Yue believed that Lin Hao could say it and do it, and he had the ability to.

"Please father, for your daughter, for our people, tell us the method to leave, are you really that heartless?"

Clenching her silver teeth, Holy Daughter Zi Yue suddenly knelt down and loudly said.

"Please, Clan Leader, grant us this!"

"Please, Clan Leader, grant us this!"

Following her, thousands of Half Mermaids also knelt down and loudly kowtowed.

Originally fighting to the death, I thought it was betrayal and purging, now, it really is a joke, a farce.

Lin Hao watched coldly from the side, pondering whether this Atlantis clan was suppressed in the deep sea, cursed and mutated, too repressed, too bored, making up things to entertain themselves?

Even Lin Hao suspected that these Half Mermaids were just acting now.

"Hehe, hahaha..."

The old man laughed again, those eyes almost like dead fish swept over the crowd of Half Mermaids, and coldly snorted: "Leave? What can you do if you leave? In this sea region, even if you leave, the fate that awaits you is still death!"

"Suppressed for ten thousand years, do you think that existence isn’t monitoring everything here? Hahaha, I dare say, as soon as you leave this place, someone from Eternal Life Realm will come to kill you all!"

"Don’t leave, I’m doing this for your own good!" The old man shouted angrily, then closed his eyes.

"Staying here, even if cursed, even if your bodies mutate, turning neither into human nor ghost, but, it’s still better than leaving here and then being killed!"

"My heartfelt intentions, how can you not understand?"

"If you really seek death, rather let me kill you than be tortured by him!"

After speaking, the old man seemed older once again, hanging his head, taking deep breaths.

Crazy thoughts, even foolish ones.

Perhaps, being tortured by Soul-devouring Iron on this Obelisk for over ten thousand years, this old man’s mind and thoughts have become twisted. Lin Hao thinks his reasons are not only childish, but also ridiculous.

"Is talking about this useful? Only half-time left in fifteen minutes, if you don’t tell me the way out, today, you will die."

Time was running out, Lin Hao reminded on the side.

"Hehe, just kill me. Life and death, do I care? If possible, I would have killed myself long ago. You’re so bold, then you come kill me!" He sneered coldly, disdainfully glancing at Lin Hao.

"Father! Haven’t you ever thought of standing up from where you fell? Won’t our clan’s ten thousand years of vengeance be avenged? Are you content? Letting your enemies watch you like this, are you content?" Holy Daughter Zi Yue bit her lip, grabbing the old man’s hand.

"Revenge?" When the old man said these two words, a flicker of light finally passed through his dead fish-like eyes, but it quickly dimmed again, the expression becoming disdainful again: "Hehe, revenge? With what, how? With you guys?"

"Father! How will we know if we don’t try?"

A flash of determination appeared in Holy Daughter Zi Yue’s eyes, suddenly, she turned around, came next to Lin Hao.

This clan’s people, none seemed normal to Lin Hao.

Holy Daughter Zi Yue suddenly appearing beside Lin Hao, did make Lin Hao vigilant for a moment.

But, this extremely beautiful Half Mermaid, unexpectedly bowed to Lin Hao.

Lin Hao was stunned.

Not long before, everyone had fought desperately, fighting for their lives, and now, this Mermaid was bowing to him like to a benefactor.

This race, so fickle?

Or is it that ten thousand years of suppression, and ten thousand years of torturous mutations, have turned these people into neurotics, madmen?

During his puzzlement, Holy Daughter Zi Yue, pierced her brow with a finger, a drop of crimson Essence Blood squeezed out, undissolved by water, held in her palm.

Then, she raised her head, looking at Lin Hao, as if making a huge decision.

"This is my Holy Daughter’s Chastity Blood, now, I give it to you!"
