They quickly arrived at the main city while riding on the flying monster. This was the first time Jiang Xingchen and the old man saw this patriarch. They were both surprised when they saw it because the patriarch was very spirited. It was not that his face was rosy and his eyes were shining. In fact, from the outside, he looked not far from death. His face was gray and black, his eyes were turbid, but his waist was straight and he looked very confident, so that the impression he gave was completely inconsistent with his appearance.
After the patriarch came in, he glanced at everyone, and saw Xingchen pausing for a moment when he sat in the middle. He turned his head and looked at the black robe and laughed: "Haha, you should have tried it. Without a key, you can't open the treasure door no matter how you do. I can't blame you for your previous actions, so we can talk about cooperation again!"
The man in black robe glanced at Jiang Xingchen and the old man, then looked at the master again, and had no intention of saying anything to anyone, so he obviously asked himself to deal with it, so he spoke, "You are so sure that we can't open the treasure. Do you know the cannon? Even the city wall can be blown away!"
The patriarch smiled disdainfully and said lightly: "I don't know what the cannon you are talking about, but even if it can blast open a few meters thick city wall, it will not be able to open the treasure door!"
Black Rou frowned, looked back, and asked in a deep voice: "Okay, then according to the conditions you proposed earlier, the Sea Spirit Marrow plus half of the treasure! But you have to tell us where the key is first!"
"Haha!" The patriarch laughed: "You have no brain problems, but I actually asked me to tell you where the key is first!"
Hei Pao said with a calm face: "Since we cooperate, we must trust each other!"
"Ha! I trusted you enough at the beginning. I took out all the treasure maps, but the result was!" The patriarch's smile restrained and said coldly.
"What do you want to do? We have agreed to all the conditions you have proposed!" Black Rou asked with a frown.
"My request is very simple. You can give me the sea spirit first. This will reflect your sincerity!" The patriarch brought his hands back and raised his chin slightly. From the fact that these people raised him from the prison, he knew that he had bet right. They indeed found the treasure, but they couldn't open it. He took the risk of taking out the treasure map for this day. After suffering so much sin, it was finally time to harvest.
"This" Black Robe hesitated. He was dealing with it here just to provide Jiang Xingchen and the old man with an opportunity to observe. He didn't dare to make decisions.
The patriarch snorted and turned his head to look at Jiang Xingchen: "You are the real person in charge. Take out the sea spirit first and talk about something else, otherwise we will not be able to cooperate. Even if you beat me to death, I won't want to know where the key is!"
Jiang Xingchen waved his hand to the black robe and asked him to retreat aside before slowly speaking: "How did you escape from that island?"
"Ah?" The clan leader was stunned when he heard this. Jiang Xingchen's question had nothing to do with the sea god. Then his face changed, and he immediately realized that the other party was talking about the island of the Da Shang clan.
"What did you say?" The patriarch's voice trembled. He didn't remember seeing Jiang Xingchen and the old man, nor did he remember revealing what happened on the island. How did the other party know? Could it be that the other party recognized the wrong person?
He was surprised and confused. Jiang Xingchen continued, "I ask you how you escaped from the island in the deep ocean. I remember that you have been sealed for decades of cultivation. It should be abolished, and there are a large number of spider crabs around that island."
"You, who are you?" The patriarch's eyes widened, his heart full of horror. He could understand even if he was confused at this moment. What he was talking about was what he was thinking.
Jiang Xingchen smiled faintly and said, "You killed the old empress and almost all the people in the royal family. Who do you think I am?"
"How did you know you are Jiang Mei'er's?" the patriarch exclaimed.
"I am her husband now, my name is Jiang Xingchen! You have been on the isolated island for many years, and maybe you don't know me. But it doesn't matter, I just need to know you. Mei'er has always wanted to find you. Right, the key you mentioned is in my hands now!"
Jiang Xingchen's tone was very calm, but when he heard the clan leader's ears, he was like lightning slashing on his body, and his whole body was frozen. No matter how cruel Ah Hongdao was, he had the means to save his life, but when it fell into Jiang Mei'er's hands, he would undoubtedly die.
The Lord and Hei Rou were also stunned. When Jiang Xingchen was in the port, he was so anxious to see the clan leader. They guessed that the two were related, but they didn't expect that the relationship was so deep, and they didn't expect that the key was in Jiang Xingchen's hands. It seemed that Jiang Meier's identity as the royal princess of the Great Merchant was real.
Jiang Xingchen looked at the clan leader who was still in horror and asked in a deep voice: "I'm very curious! You have been enduring for decades, why did you suddenly attack and grab the treasure map? You can see that you are not ready, and you don't know where the key is!"
After a long time, the patriarch gradually calmed down, and the fear expression on his face slowly dissipated, and a bitter smile appeared, saying, "If Jiang Mei'er didn't come, I can plan quietly. But after she arrived, everything would be different from the original plan. Jiang Mei'er had a folded crossbow, a grenade and a mandala in her hand, and her cultivation was also very high. Once the old lady handed her things, my previous plans would all be gone. I also thought about taking action against Jiang Mei'er, but she was too cautious and I couldn't prevent her folded crossbow. The most important thing is that before she disappeared that day, someone saw a big bird falling from the sky."
The patriarch said here, and the old man and Jiang Xingchen finally realized it suddenly and understood his motive for rushing to take action. Mei'er had so many good equipment on her, and she must be backing with a big force. This was enough to make the patriarch frightened. Then Mei'er disappeared and someone saw the big bird. The patriarch would naturally think that Jiang Mei'er would go back to find someone. Once she returned to the island, she would probably pick everyone up, and the treasure would be completely out of reach for him. The old lady would definitely hand over the things to Jiang Mei'er in the end.
In this case, the patriarch decided to take action, at least he would grab the treasure map.
"I know Jiang Mei'er will definitely come back, and that key will definitely be found by her! But I didn't expect that your power would be so great that even Ah Hongdao listened to you!" The patriarch took a deep breath, glanced at the Lord and Black Robe, and shook his head slightly.
Jiang Xingchen smiled and said, "Do you want to borrow the power of Ahong Island to deal with Mei'er and us? You are still too anxious. When you come to Ahong Island, contact the senior management. If you can calm down and inquire about more information, know what happened on Ahong Island last year, you will hear that Xingchen Leader will not easily find Ahong Island for cooperation, and we will find you harder than we can find you!"
The clan leader fell into silence when he heard this, lowered his head slightly, and his two turbid eyes kept turning. (To be continued.)
