’Hey, Razorstella. We’re like...stupid close to the front gate. Is Tortallion still cool with letting us in, or...’
[Er...sorta? He ntioned sothing about needing to give your great grandaunt and the boneless bastard empowering her a "proper" welco. Whatever the hell that ans.]
’Ah, dammit.’
...
"Xiao Liu, why are you having the puppets tie ropes around our waist and attached to the mast."
"Just trust on this."
"But the entrance to Undertow is right there!"
"Again, just trust ."
Once the expeditionary force passes the rock formations, they were now a hop, skip and a jump away from the doorstep of the Undertow Kingdom.
At first, many of the Zhen Clan warriors assud that it was a myth, or at the very least, it was an entirely different underground kingdom.
They reason believed this to be the case was due to how most records of the Storm Queen and her activities had essentially disappeared into hearsay, unreliable narrators and active suppression.
No emprie ever wants to regale their people with how they were defeated or injured by another power. Even if they just so happened to be in the wrong when they got their teeth knocked in.
Regardless, now that they were for sure heading towards a city that had long since been considered one of the weirdest holes in the Pearl Scale Empire’s history, the reactions among the warriors have been rather...mixed.
When the Zhen Clan forces finally arrived at their destination, it appeared that at a glance, they were in the middle of nowhere.
Aside from several weirdly shaped rock formations behind them, a cavern walk in front of them and cave ceiling above them, there wasn’t anything that even remotely looked like a city...in the eyes of most of the people present.
To certain individuals though, they could sense it clear as day that their destination was incredibly close...and that sothing or soone was making it obvious to them.
Zhen Xun Tian cut off her subordinates questioning.
"Hey...Zhen Hai? Am I going nuts, or..."
"You’re sensing a weirdly powerful flux of an energy that you’ve only felt from Xiao Liu a couple tis during battle?"
"Yup."
"Sa."
’Oh... that’s what he ant by a proper greeting.’
[Hey, Razorstella’s back.]
[Hello, director.]
’Welco back, how was your stay?’
[Fine.]
As the Zhen Clan expeditionary force was dealing with the presence of this weird energy, Razorstella finally returned to the [Storm Queen’s Galleon].
Unlike Hurricroak, who returned to the ship after capturing all of those false tracker tunas, Razorstella decided to stay with Tortallion up until Zhen Liu and the others caught up. As to why she did so...Zhen Liu didn’t know.
During her stay, Tortallion requested that after the initial bombshell conversation that whatever else they discussed at the ti would remain private. The reason for this request was unclear, but it was fine by Zhen Liu.
He was probably gonna find out eventually.
Regardless, if Razorstella was back then that ant-
Sound of soone circulating their aether and [Chaos] to the point that it sounds like an explosion went off.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!"
Suddenly, and without warning, a heavy pressure slamd down on the Zhen Clan warriors like a ton of bricks.
Thanks to their training and discipline, the Zhen Clan warriors didn’t pass out or outright die due to the sudden pressure, but this also ant that they were forced to feel just how unmatched they were in terms of cultivation power!
