Capítulo 1700: Chapter 1698: Voices of Opposition

The next day, in the Royal Court of the Shark People Clan, Shi Yang personally received the envoy from the Sea Beast Tribe.

“Your Majesty Shi Yang, we et again. I told you before that we would et again!” The envoy from the Sea Beast Tribe was Chi Li, a powerful figure of the Sea Beast Clan who had previous dealings with Shi Yang. However, at that ti, Chi Li’s mission to ally with the Shark People Clan was rejected by Shi Yang.

Shi Yang looked at Chi Li, “Chi Li, I didn’t expect it to be you again. But you’ve won. I agree to your alliance request!”

Chi Li shook his head gently and said, “Your Majesty Shi Yang, tis have changed. Our Sea Beast King reconsidered and still feels that now is not the best ti for an alliance between us. Maybe you should think it over?”

Shi Yang looked at Chi Li, who was smiling as if he had everything under control, and a trace of displeasure flashed through his mind: “Chi Li, let’s speak plainly. What demands do you Sea Beasts have?”

Chi Li chuckled, “Your Majesty, it sounds as if our Sea Beast Tribe is taking advantage of the situation…”

“Haven’t you always had your eyes on the Sea Anemone Garden? I can hand over the Sea Anemone Garden to you!” Shi Yang said lightly.

Surprise flashed across Chi Li’s eyes. He was well aware of the value of the Sea Anemone Garden, where a type of Deep Sea Cloud Grass could grow, which was extrely important to the Sea Beast Tribe.

However, the Sea Anemone Garden had always been dominated by the Shark People Clan, and despite trying everything, the Sea Beast Tribe had never managed to wrest it from the Shark People Clan’s hands.

“Your Majesty, although the Sea Anemone Garden is valuable, it is, after all, within your Shark People Clan’s territory. To us, it’s sowhat like a chicken rib—tasteless to eat, regrettable to discard…”

“Don’t push your luck!” Shi Yang said coldly, “I can agree to your previous conditions and add the Sea Anemone Garden. If you’re still not satisfied, then forget about the alliance!”

“What are you saying, Your Majesty? Have I expressed any dissatisfaction?” Chi Li laughed and extended his hand, “Let’s wish for a speedy cooperation!”

Shi Yang did not shake hands but looked at Chi Li with disdain, “Stop pretending. But let be clear, once the Fishn Race is destroyed, my Shark People Clan will occupy the Undersea City and the area to its east.”

“Of course, this was agreed upon earlier!” Chi Li said with a smile, “To demonstrate our Sea Beast Tribe’s sincerity, we will provide ten Great Sea Beasts at that ti.”

“Hmm, how petty!” Shi Yang shook his head and said, “Within a month, we will launch an attack on the Fishn Race. I do not want to see any prevarication from your Sea Beast Tribe then.”

Chi Li furrowed his brow, “A month, that’s a bit tight, isn’t it?”

If the battle starts, it will be a protracted battle. Preparing within only a month is indeed a bit rushed.

“Hmph, we have the elent of surprise. If the ti drags on, once the Fishn Race becos aware, we might have to spend even more energy and ti!” Shi Yang said solemnly, “War requires speed. We currently have the advantage, and if we don’t defeat the Fishn Race in one go, it will be a huge blow to our morale!”

Shi Yang glanced at Chi Li and said, “If you can’t decide, let your Sea Beast King decide!”

Chi Li looked at Shi Yang deeply and found that Shi Yang seed very different now, almost like a different person.

After Chi Li communicated with the Sea Beast King through a secret technique, he looked at Shi Yang and said, “As Your Majesty wishes, within a month, our Sea Beast Tribe’s army will be ready to launch a full-scale attack on the Fishn Race!”

Shi Yang smiled, “The Sea Beast King has made a wise decision!”

When the people of the Shark People Clan learned of the alliance details, many showed discontent on their faces. The Sea Anemone Garden was also quite important to the Shark People Clan, yet they did not expect His Majesty Shi Yang to hand it over to the Sea Beast Tribe so easily.

Several high-ranking officials of the Shark People Clan opposed this transaction, but His Majesty Shi Yang suppressed them firmly.

For a ti, there was an air of urgency, like a bloody storm, in the Royal City.

“Has His Majesty gone mad?” In a secret chamber, a minister of the Shark People Clan shouted angrily, “The Sea Anemone Garden produces countless cultivation dicinal materials every year, accounting for thirty percent of our cultivation resources, and yet it’s just given away to the Sea Beast Tribe, it’s simply unreasonable!”

“Indeed, since Shi Li’s escape, His Majesty’s whole deanor has changed, more autocratic and arbitrary than before!” Another high-ranking figure also expressed dissatisfaction, “He has now shaken the foundations of the Shark People Clan. We can’t remain silent any longer. Once the Sea Anemone Garden falls into the Sea Beast Tribe’s hands, it’ll be like a nail in our back!”

“Indeed, Old Pri Minister, we need you to intervene. You are highly respected and have influential support. You must stop His Majesty’s actions!” At this ti, everyone’s eyes focused on the elder seated in the chief position, the most respected Old Pri Minister of the Shark People Clan.

They believed that as long as the Old Pri Minister spoke up, he could definitely stop His Majesty Shi Yang. After all, the Old Pri Minister had always acted for the public good and was considered the conscience of the Shark People Clan!

The Old Pri Minister coughed and said, “You all see only the small Sea Anemone Garden but not the significance behind this war. As long as we can successfully eliminate the Fishn Race, half of the Fishn Race’s territory and cultivation resources will be ours, and by then, what does a small Sea Anemone Garden count for?”

“While that’s true, who can guarantee that we will eliminate the Fishn Race? The Fishn Race’s strength is not weaker than ours, and if a full-scale war breaks out, the Sea Beast Tribe will surely only put on a show, leading to mutual destruction between us and the Fishn Race!”

A minister said indignantly, “His Majesty Shi Yang is gambling with the destiny of the Shark People Clan to vent his anger. Old Pri Minister, you can’t stand idly by, or else the demise of the Shark People Clan is imminent!”

The Old Pri Minister looked at the indignant crowd and sighed slightly, “What are your plans?”

“Remove the tyrant, restore peace and clarity!” a minister said in a deep voice.

“His Majesty Shi Yang has only one son, Shi Li, and now he’s missing!” the Old Pri Minister frowned and said, “Besides Shi Li, who else can inherit Great Unity?”

“The royal family of the Shark People Clan is more than just Shi Yang alone!” At this ti, a clear voice said, “Has the Old Pri Minister forgotten about our Qianfeng Clan?”

The Qianfeng Clan is also a relatively powerful clan within the Shark People Clan. The leader of the Qianfeng Clan had once married Shi Yang’s sister, making them royalty by marriage.

Seeing the appearance of Qian Feng Yue, a flash of understanding crossed the Old Pri Minister’s eyes.
