Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1025 - 1023: Framed and Set Up? [Third Update]

"Is it those three?"

"Correct, the intelligence from Sha Tongtian’s side indicates that it’s indeed those three people!"

"Heh heh, I didn’t expect them to show up so soon. Go inform Lord Qin immediately—our fish have swum into the net, and we can close in now..."

No sooner had Xiao Yi and his two companions left the docks than a powerhouse in hiding from the Sky Alliance recognized them: the trio that had wiped out the Money Gang.

Instantly.

A conspiracy targeting the three of them quietly unfolded.

On the streets.

Qiu Yiyun’s face was expressionless, but he had already noticed several tails following them, and he transmitted a secret message: "Lord Xiao, do we want to eliminate these two tails?"

"No need!"

Xiao Yi waved his hand dismissively and said, "They’re just a few ants. Let’s see what they’re up to first!"

Acting as if they hadn’t noticed anything, the three casually strolled around Changlong Island.

To enter the Godfall Trench,

one needs not only to withstand the immense pressure of the sea water but also to purchase "waterproof suits" from the Sea God Guild on Changlong Island. These waterproof suits are special elemental armaments, forged by the Bishui Jingjin Beast—a unique species in the endless North Sea—utilizing their Innate Divine Ability.

Each Bishui Jingjin Beast forges only one waterproof suit in its lifetime!

Each suit is worth a fortune.

Especially those that can support diving into the Godfall Trench; it takes a Bishui Jingjin Beast from the Longevity Secret Realm using its Innate Divine Ability to nurture them, making them invaluable.

Beyond the waterproof suits,

the vicinity of the Godfall Trench is swarming with countless formidable beasts, and they also need to purchase Ten Thousand-Year Dragon’s Saliva Fragrance.

It is said...

that the Dragon’s Saliva Fragrance is created after a heavenly dragon consumes food; anything it cannot completely digest accumulates over thousands of years within its body and eventually condenses into a stone-like mass of Dragon’s Saliva Fragrance that is expelled.

The Dragon’s Saliva Fragrance is slightly cool to the touch, emits a unique fragrance, and can repel all kinds of beasts!

Especially the Ten Thousand-Year Dragon’s Saliva Fragrance; just carrying it can deter ordinary beasts of the Longevity Secret Realm from approaching.

These are the two essential items they must purchase for their expedition!

Without these two items, it would be extremely difficult for them to enter the Godfall Trench!

"Ning, are you sure the Sea God Guild will be willing to sell us the waterproof suits?" Qiu Yiyun asked with concern.

If it were ordinary waterproof suits, he would have a way to buy them.

However...

Waterproof suits of the Longevity Secret Realm level, even the Sea God Guild, would not readily part with them!

One must understand.

There are already few Bishui Jingjin Beasts, and they are difficult to cultivate, not to mention those of the Longevity Secret Realm level. Each one is a treasure and adopting Qiu Yiyun’s own perspective, he would not easily let go of such an item!

Ning Delun smiled bitterly and said: "There’s nothing we can do about it! We can only try to ask, and if it really doesn’t work, then we’ll have to buy several ordinary waterproof suits..."

On their last trip to Godfall Trench, they were able to find several waterproof suits in another ancient tomb as part of their tomb-robbing syndicate.

However, during their last exploration of the Dragon Emperor Tomb, they had already used up all those suits.

So, as a last resort, they had to try their luck on Changlong Island!

Xiao Yi said indifferently, "Everything has a price. As long as we offer enough money, I believe they will agree!"

The group continued on their way.

They arrived at a huge building that looked blue and was shaped like a seashell.

This is the Sea God Guild!

The Sea God Guild is a faith-based organization composed of many powerful individuals from various tribes above the North Sea who revere the Sea God. However, they do not seek domination, but rather make a profit by trading with each tribe’s specialties and the treasures they collect.

"Welcome to the Sea God Guild, I am Nana from the Sea God Guild’s Bina Fish Tribe. How may I assist you?" Upon entering the Sea God Guild, a woman with half a fish head approached them.

This mermaid had just reached the Tao Tribulation Realm and had not yet fully transformed.

She looked somewhat bizarre.

Xiao Yi spoke firmly, "Hello, I would like to purchase waterproof suits and Dragon’s Saliva Fragrance!"

"Waterproof suits? Dragon’s Saliva Fragrance?"

Nana’s eyes lit up, these two items were certainly not cheap, and even buying the lowest grade of both would be a significant sale.

If she could sell them, the commission alone would be worth her salary for several decades!

Nana’s smile grew even brighter as she said, "May I know what specifications of waterproof suits and Dragon’s Saliva Fragrance you require? So that I can introduce the right products to you!"

Xiao Yi replied, "We need the Ten Thousand-Year Dragon’s Saliva Fragrance and the Longevity Secret Realm level waterproof suits!"

Hiss!

Nana’s face changed abruptly; she had thought the Thousand-Year Dragon’s Saliva Fragrance and ordinary waterproof suits were the limit, but Xiao Yi’s opening request was for the highest grade.

The expression on her face was almost sycophantic as she said, "Please wait a moment, all three of you. I will check with our manager right away."

"Mm!"

The three nodded.

A moment later.

A fat man with large ears approached them, a single red scale on his forehead, smiling amiably as he looked at the three, rubbing his hands together, "Are you the three looking to purchase the Ten Thousand-Year Dragon’s Saliva Fragrance and Longevity Secret Realm-quality waterproof suits?"

"Mm!"

Xiao Yi nodded, frowning as he asked, "The young girl just now?"

"Oh, you mean Nana? For a transaction of this level, only a manager can make the decisions. I’ve sent her to the back to rest, and I will handle the introductions for you three!" said the manager cheerfully, slapping his forehead as if remembering, "How could I forget to introduce myself, I am Fish Ye of the Bina Tribe. Honorable guests, please follow me this way!"

He warmly ushered the three guests towards the inner hall.

Xiao Yi and his companions exchanged glances.

They noticed a flash of coldness in Fish Ye’s eyes as he looked at them, realizing that this man might have nefarious intentions. However, with their own strength, they weren’t particularly worried.

Following Fish Ye to the back hall.

Fish Ye snapped his fingers, and immediately, two brawny men walked in, guarding two treasure chests, placing them respectfully in front of the trio.

"With a cheerful smile, Fish Ye said, "Here are the items, please have a look, sirs!"

Creak!

The treasure chests opened.

A burst of jewel-like luster filled the air.

A faint blue ripple of water shimmered, accompanied by the sound of flowing water; these were indeed the waterproof suits.

From the other chest came a delicate and pleasant aroma, refreshing to the soul, unmistakably the Ten Thousand-Year Dragon’s Saliva Fragrance.

After inspecting them, Ning Delun looked at Xiao Yi, "Lord Xiao, they really are the Ten Thousand-Year Dragon’s Saliva Fragrance and Longevity Secret Realm-quality waterproof suits!"

"Oh?"

Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow, some doubts forming in his mind. Was he being overly suspicious?

Was Fish Ye devoid of ulterior motives?

Was he really willing to sell them the items so readily?

Xiao Yi looked at Fish Ye, whose sinister smile was quickly replaced by one of obsequious flattery, "Lords, our Sea God Guild would certainly not deal in fakes. Please take your time to inspect, are you satisfied with the items?"

"Very satisfied with the items. What’s your asking price?" Xiao Yi inquired.

Fish Ye raised a finger, grinning widely, "One hundred thousand source stones!"

One hundred thousand?

Xiao Yi frowned slightly, looking to Ning Delun.

Ning Delun nodded slightly.

The price was a bit steep, but considering the rarity of these items, it was justifiable.

Xiao Yi nodded and took out one hundred thousand source stones and handed them to Fish Ye, "One hundred thousand source stones, not a coin less. The items can be handed over to us now!"

"Alrighty!"

Fish Ye’s eyes lit up as he pocketed the source stones, still wearing a pleasant smile, "The items are yours now, my lords!"

"Mm!"

Xiao Yi casually put the two treasure chests into his storage ring, waved his hand towards Fish Ye, "Pleasure doing business!"

"Please take your time leaving, lords!"

Fish Ye continued to smile cheerfully.

Xiao Yi and his party left the Sea God Guild immediately, still somewhat disbelieving even after they had exited the guild.

Qiu Yiyun said, "Was it really that smooth?"

"I feel like something’s not right..."

Ning Delun scratched his head, his sleazy face showing a puzzled look.

Just then...

A cry of alarm suddenly emanated from within the Sea God Guild: "The manager has been seriously injured, someone has stolen the waterproof suits and Dragon’s Saliva Fragrance, somebody help, don’t let them get away..."

Framing and setup?

The eyes of Xiao Yi and his two companions met, the same four words surfacing in their minds...
