Chapter 405: A Group of Catfish Beings, Dragon King’s City and Coral Palace, The Fallen Prince

Guided by Benbo, Ji Chen and his group left the canyon and arrived at an underwater basin.

Because the basin sloped towards the center, with high walls around and a lower central area, he easily spotted the underwater village at the center of the basin.

This underwater village was made up of cl.u.s.ters of gigantic hard corals that resembled flowers.

Each cl.u.s.ter of gigantic corals served as a house, and hundreds of these cl.u.s.ters formed the village. The outer sides of these gigantic corals had openings resembling human architecture, but most of them were round or oval and were located on the top rather than around the sides.

Around the village grew many fluorescent sea gra.s.ses and plants. The gentle radiance illuminated the colorful gigantic corals, creating a unique beauty, as if the seawater had changed its colors.

Ji Chen’s eyes were briefly captivated, but he quickly regained his composure. He gave orders.

“Benbo, lead the Dragonblood Legion to surround that underwater village, gather all the residents in one place, and don’t let anyone escape.”

If those residents managed to escape and alert the Dragon King’s City, they would likely have to face tens of thousands of sea creatures.

In any case, they needed to take control first, gather more intelligence, and then decide on their next steps.

Benbo understood this principle well and immediately led thousands of units of Dragon Blood Murloc Rangers to go.

Ji Chen continued to advance with the main force.

The basin was not small, and it took them fifteen minutes to reach the village.

The Dragon Blood Legion had already gathered all the residents of this underwater village in an open area. Looking at the approaching Crown of the Ocean army, these residents looked fearful and huddled together, not daring to move.

Ji Chen, riding the Tyrant Azure Dragon, leisurely approached them and glanced at them with interest.

These residents were a group of humanoid catfish beings, with catfish heads and human-like bodies, their faces adorned with big eyes that appeared somewhat comical.

As they watched the formidable army spread out, a towering creature akin to a giant whale on its head, these residents were stunned. Their eyes were filled with astonishment and disbelief.

They couldn’t be mistaken, could they? Was that… a human?

But how could humans possibly appear at this depth of the sea, and furthermore, seem capable of breathing?

Observing the shocked expressions on the faces of these catfish beings, Ji Chen found it somewhat amusing. He condensed his mana into waves, allowing his voice to transmit underwater.

“Who among you is the village chief?”

When his voice resonated in their ears, the catfish beings were all taken aback, looking at each other in bewilderment.

The last elderly catfish with wrinkled skin stepped forward respectfully and said, “Honorable and powerful stranger, may 1 inquire about the purpose of your visit to Catfish Village?”

“We, Catfish Village, live in peace, minding our own business, and do not involve ourselves in the disputes between the Dragon King’s City and the Coral Palace.”

Coral Palace?

Ji Chen’s brow twitched upon hearing this. It seemed that besides the influence of the Dragon King’s City in this realm, there was also another faction called the Coral Palace, and the two were in opposition to each other.

Interesting.

“I do not belong to either the Dragon King’s City or the Coral Palace. 1 am Lord of the Ocean’s Crown, Ji Chen, and 1 come from above the sea.”

“Above the sea?” The catfish village chief paused. “Do you mean those small islands on the sea’s surface?”

There are humans on the surface of this realm?

Ji Chen nodded inwardly. It appeared that this realm was not entirely composed of the ocean; there were still islands and humans living on the sea’s surface.

However, he was unsure of the exact scale of this presence.

In large-scale realms like the Skeleton and Blood Sea Realms, the areas were vast, while in smaller realms, it wouldn’t be surprising if there were only a few islands, such as the New Moon Islands.

“Not exactly. I come from a place beyond this world,” Ji Chen replied, not providing too much explanation. “I arrived here not long ago and know very little about this place, especially the Dragon King’s City and the Coral Palace.” The catfish village chief was once again puzzled. A place beyond this world? Could there be other worlds apart from this one?

Though baffled, upon seeing these units of creatures that had never appeared in the Great Luminescent Sea, the catfish village chief began to believe it to some extent.

Although it felt a bit perplexing, it quickly understood that this meant there were some matters to discuss, as long as they did not pose a threat to Catfish Village.

Based on its impressions of the humans on the surface islands, most of them favored peace because they lacked formidable enemies, and their military forces were rather limited.

So, as long as it had nothing to hide, there probably wouldn’t be any danger to their lives.

“Honorable sir, please go ahead.”

“It seems that the Dragon King’s City and the Coral Palace are two separate factions?”

“Yes, in the Great Luminescent Sea, the two most powerful factions are the Dragon King’s City, ruled by the Water Dragon King, and the Coral Palace, led by the Lord of Coral. Both of them command a large number of formidable soldiers.

The Dragon King’s City and the Coral Palace have been in a state of opposition for hundreds of years, especially in recent years, their conflicts and disputes have intensified, almost on the verge of war. When that happens, the Great Luminescent Sea will be stained with blood once again.”

The Water Dragon King and the Lord of Coral.

The names did carry a certain air of authority, but Ji Chen was uncertain about their actual power.

However, as rulers of two factions, their strength was undoubtedly formidable. Ji Chen speculated that they were at least heroic units of the Red-Legacy Tier. After some thought, he asked, “Have you ever seen them?”

The catfish village chief shook his head and replied, “No, 1 haven’t. It’s said that those two haven’t appeared in the outside world for several years now. All the conflicts and struggles are handled by their generals under their command..”
