Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City

The seaweed was gone, leaving only a massive chain that bound a creature resembling a skeleton, neither human nor fish, vastly different from the half-mermaids, and distinct from the nagas behind it—a creature that was only a layer of skin draped over bones, tightly bound to the obelisk. Its sunken eyes had witnessed ages pass by and lost the divine brilliance they held just moments ago, now they were dull and lifelessly staring at Lin Hao.

"To awaken three thousand warriors would cost me my old life. But I have lived too long, too wearily. Once, I was a human, but now, look at what I’ve become? My race has been suppressed deep in the ocean, enduring countless years, and has undergone massive mutations."

"Half-mermaids? They stole the treasure of my race, forcing the remaining beings of my race to live away from the sunlight. They are traitors; they nearly doomed my race to eternal downfall!"

"As long as you promise me, bring back the treasure of my race, and grant my race a new life, what does it matter if this millions of years old life of mine comes to an end?"

"What do you say? Are you willing?"

That creature, looking like an ugly alien drawn on a street vendor’s poster, at this moment truly seemed at the end of its life, making a final plea to Lin Hao.

"Sorry, I have no interest in your race."

Lin Hao shook his head, turned around, and was about to leave.

Completely indifferent to the old monster’s plea.

"Don’t you want to eradicate the half-mermaids and leave this sea area?" The elder didn’t expect Lin Hao to refuse so decisively, to walk away without a backward glance. He felt a sudden anxiety and hastily called out: "Have you forgotten your purpose for coming here?"
