As the golden-armored catfish was talking to his subordinates, he suddenly felt a strange smell in the hall. He looked around warily and suddenly stretched out a huge hand from the void. In an instant, it was in front of him.

That hand appeared very suddenly, leaving him no time to guard against it.

“Protect His Majesty!”

Everyone in the hall was in chaos.

A group of four people had appeared in front of the catfish demon. The leader was very tall, half-human, half-fish, and followed by three shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

They were actually so bold as to barge into this hall.

“Impudent thieves, you're crazy. You even dare to touch His Majesty!”

Behind him, the demon with a huge green turtle shell rushed up with half a rod.

Li Yuanqing only glanced at it before a ray of light landed on the turtle demon.

The green-furred turtle that rushed up let out a scream and was sent flying, crashing heavily into the coral wall behind.

“Impudent thieves! Attack!”

This green-furred turtle seemed to have a lot of power. After being beaten up, it flew into a rage out of humiliation. It howled and called a group of brats, who rushed in from all directions.

These shrimp soldiers and crab generals came from all directions like a tide.

Li Yuanqing was not afraid of this situation at all. He stared straight into the catfish demon's eyes, causing him to sweat.

The catfish demon was still waiting for his group of shrimp soldiers to take down Li Yuanqing. However, he never expected that those weak demons could not even get within five meters of Li Yuanqing.

Hundreds of demons gathered beside Li Yuanqing. There was a light yellow barrier there that completely isolated them.

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and save His Majesty!”

The green-furred turtle finally recovered and barely stood up with the help of the coral that had been knocked askew.

However, no matter how he shouted, it was useless. The little demons behind were still pouring in endlessly, squeezing the people in front of him onto the shield.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the catfish demon immediately put on a fawning expression.

“Who exactly are you? We have no grudges in the past. If you want anything, feel free to tell me. As long as I can take it out, I will definitely give it to you!”

“I see you know what I want.” Li Yuanqing said something ambiguous to him.

The catfish demon's face was pinched, and all his strength was sealed. The disguise of the demon in front of him slowly retreated and turned into a handsome human youth. Only then did the catfish demon realize that he had fallen into the hands of the humans. When the two demons came to report just now, he even boasted that he would not fall into the hands of the enemy no matter what.

However, he did not expect to be slapped in the face so quickly.

Li Yuanqing saw that this fellow's attitude of admitting his mistake was still good, so he softened a little and casually threw it on the table.

“I heard you say that you seem to have a very good relationship with Black Dragon.”

The catfish demon's small eyes darted around as he hurriedly explained, “Sir, I don't know any Black Dragon at all. I've guarded this glacier for generations. I've only heard of Lord Black Dragon's name and can't be considered familiar.”

“Is that so?” Li Yuanqing's expression changed, scaring the big catfish. “From what you said just now, you still want to be the number one general under Black Dragon.”

“Sir, did you hear wrongly? What can I do with my strength?”

Behind Li Yuanqing, Liu Wen and Yang Tianqi also removed their disguises.

“Master, cut the crap. This guy definitely knows where the factory is. We can just take it down.”

As Liu Wen spoke, he took out his heavy sword and dragged it on the ground as he walked towards the catfish spirit.

Li Yuanqing ignored him and stood there watching quietly.

“What's your name?”

Liu Wen's every step seemed to step on the demon's heart, scaring him until his heart skipped a beat.

The catfish did not dare to be negligent and immediately reported his name. “My name is the Golden-armored Catfish. Everyone outside calls me the Golden-armored King.”

“So it's the Golden-armored King.” Liu Wen had already walked up to him and slowly bent down. “You didn't seem to understand my master when he was talking to you just now.”

The golden-armored catfish hurriedly raised his hands to block in front of him and said with a smile, “Little Brother, what are you saying? I've been listening to His Excellency carefully just now. I don't dare to be negligent at all.”

“Is that so?”

“Of course. That's all I know.”

“You said you didn't know Black Dragon?”

“Little brother, you're really good at joking. Lord Black Dragon is a legendary figure. I'm just a small fry. How can I know him?”

“Why are you still protecting the black dragon at a time like this? Do you know that the black dragon has already been sent home by my master?”

As Liu Wen spoke, his eyes still landed on the eyes of the golden-armored catfish. A hint of disdain flashed across his eyes.

“I don't need Master to do anything. I can end you.”

“Little brother, don't be anxious. Although my palace isn't very rich, I still have some treasures. Just take whatever you want.”

Yang Tianqi went up and tugged at Liu Wen. “Cut the crap. Hurry up and let Master do it.”

A black figure appeared out of thin air. The person was tied up tightly, only revealing a blurry face, but his aura was abnormally clear.

The golden-armored catfish's expression changed drastically when this person appeared. The aura on this person was his Lord Black Dragon.

“Lord Black Dragon?”

He looked at the situation in front of him in disbelief.

The black dragon was controlled by the kid in front of him like a doll.

Li Yuanqing's cold voice sounded again. “Take us to the factory.”

The golden-armored catfish swallowed heavily. Lord Black Dragon was already here. What else could it say? However, who was this human? How could he control Lord Black Dragon?

“Sir, don't panic. I'll bring you to the factory now.”

The golden-armored catfish seemed to completely obey Li Yuanqing's arrangements. It treated Li Yuanqing and the others as VIPs, dismissed its subordinates, and respectfully led everyone out of the palace.

They headed north. The further north they went, the deeper the underwater world was. It was very dark below.

The golden-armored catfish brought his Turtle Prime Minister along. The two of them swam carefully in front and occasionally turned around to look behind them.

“Sir, where did you come from? I heard that the human race has already taken control of the world on the continent. It should be related to you, right?”

“Why are you talking so much nonsense? Do you have the right to ask where my master came from?”

Liu Wen went up and kicked the butt of the golden-armored catfish. The catfish swam two more steps forward, but Liu Wen was shocked and retreated far away.

“This little brother has a bad temper.”

“How far is it?”

The golden-armored catfish did not dare to be negligent. He hurriedly replied, “Sir, it's still more than three hundred miles to the factory.”

“Why is it so far away?”

Catfish smiled and said, “Sir, you might not know this, but Lord Black Dragon is a cautious person. He specially built this factory in the deepest trench in the extreme north. We're still dozens of miles down.”

“Hurry up and move. Don't waste any more time.”

“I understand, sir. Please come this way.”

The golden-armored catfish still wanted to talk to Li Yuanqing, but Li Yuanqing was very cold to him and ignored him. After his intention to get close was destroyed, he could only continue swimming forward.

After advancing another hundred miles, they could no longer see their fingers. Only some glowing creatures were resting in the cracks of the rocks. The temperature here was extremely low, accompanied by a high pressure. Liu Wen and the others quickly could not take it anymore.

Li Yuanqing put them into his domain. He had wanted the three little fellows to increase their endurance just now, but they would probably not be able to hold on any longer.

The golden-armored catfish took advantage of the time to widen the distance between them.

“Prime Minister Turtle, go and see His Excellency.”

The Prime Minister Turtle looked at the golden-armored catfish reluctantly with a pleading expression.

He glared at him fiercely, scaring the Prime Minister Turtle so much that he did not dare to reach out and touch him again.

“Go and watch His Excellency!”

The golden-armored catfish warned again, forcing Prime Minister Turtle to retreat.

Li Yuanqing stopped there and looked at the retreating Prime Minister Turtle.

“Sir,” the Prime Minister Turtle said timidly. “His Majesty… he asked me to accompany you here.”

“Is that so?”

“I… I'll help you lead the way.”

Li Yuanqing looked forward and saw that the golden-armored catfish only had one tail left.

“Why did your lord leave so quickly?”

“His Majesty's afraid of delaying your matters.”

“He's not trying to escape, is he?”

“How is that possible!” Prime Minister Turtle was sweating from fright. His beard was trembling. “His Majesty didn't think of escaping.”

“That's good. Keep walking.”

Li Yuanqing looked at the Prime Minister Turtle meaningfully. That gaze made the Prime Minister Turtle take it to heart.

“Alright, sir, come this way.”

They continued swimming deeper into the trench. The tail of the golden-armored catfish in front of them was faintly discernible, as if it was about to disappear at any moment.

The Prime Minister Turtle looked at the gradually fading tail and felt anxious.

After walking another fifty miles, the Prime Minister Turtle suddenly pointed at a hole at the side and said, “My lord, there's a treasure vault of His Majesty there. His Majesty instructed me to bring out some treasures for you. You guys can leave first. I'll be back soon.”

With that, he swam towards the dark hole. Even though he tried his best to remain calm, his body was still trembling violently.

Li Yuanqing looked at the back of the Prime Minister Turtle with interest, not caring about the golden light that was about to disappear.

Yang Tianqi watched as the golden-armored catfish left and hurriedly asked, “Master, the big catfish in front is almost gone. Should we hurry up and follow it?”

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, “Why should I follow him? That guy has already run away.”

“What? Isn't he always leading the way?”

The three little fellows could not tell when the person leading the way had run away.

“Let's go and see where our Prime Minister Turtle wants to run.”

Li Yuanqing waved his sleeve and disappeared with the three of them.

In the beginning, the Prime Minister Turtle was still restrained. However, when he was about to reach the hole, he could not suppress the urge in his heart and hurriedly crawled into the hole. After he entered, he stuck his head out and looked back at Li Yuanqing and the others.

“Why are they walking so fast?”

The Prime Minister Turtle felt a little strange. Were those guys so fast that they disappeared in a short while? But none of that mattered. He was finally free of these guys.

Just now, His Majesty had taken advantage of Li Yuanqing's carelessness to escape and successfully fooled these guys. However, he was placed in such a dangerous situation. The Prime Minister Turtle thought proudly. Fortunately, he was smarter than others and successfully played a little trick to escape.

“Hmph, these humans are indeed brainless. No wonder they were treated as slaves.”

Most of the humans were not used to living underwater, let alone in their bitter cold land. Those humans with low cultivation levels could not survive here at all. They had once bought some human slaves, but they all died later on and could not reproduce.

Just as the Prime Minister Turtle was feeling smug, he turned around and bumped into someone.

Li Yuanqing looked at the smart-aleck Prime Minister silently. “Where are you going?”

“Huh?”

The Prime Minister Turtle was stunned.

“Didn't the Prime Minister say that there's a treasure vault here and that you wanted to bring some things?”

“Yes, the treasure vault is in the small passageway ahead. It might be inconvenient for you to move. I'll go get it.”

“It's quite convenient for us to move around. Why don't we go together?”

“Well…”

“What's wrong? Prime Minister, you look a little unwilling.”

“What are you saying, sir? I'll take you there now.”

The Prime Minister Turtle complained in his heart, his skin color had changed too due to nervousness. He walked in front and slowly led the few of them around the passageway, but they could not turn out.

When they finally arrived at an intersection, Li Yuanqing grabbed him.

“I think we've walked this intersection several times. I think we should go this way.”

“Sir, what are you talking about? The underwater world is complicated. You must be mistaken.”

“Come this way!”

Li Yuanqing's eyes were so deep and terrifying, as if he wanted to skin the Prime Minister Turtle alive.

The old turtle trembled as he turned around and walked down the passageway. Not long after, everyone appeared in a small hall.

There was a very simple teleportation array in this hut. Other than that, there was nothing else.

“What is this?”

“Sir, this teleportation array has long been broken.”

“Is that so?”

Li Yuanqing threw out an array disc and landed on the array formation. The small array formation immediately lit up.
