Chapter 1342: Disobedient Silver Umber Black
Lin Yuan’s eyes lit up, but he did not immediately look inside the fey storage boxes.
All of the Law Crystals would become the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen’s food and be absorbed by its skirt. There was no rush to check on them now, and he could do it when he returned to the mansion.
Now that the bottom of the sea had been cleared out, Lin Yuan prepared to return to the island with Liu Jie and the Mother of Bloodbath to start the important task of enabling the Floating Island Whale to hatch sooner.
It would be too inconvenient to extract the marrow from the hundreds of giant whale bones while they were in the sea.
A giant whale spent most of its time in the deep sea and only came to the surface occasionally for air. Hence, the pressure in their marrow was extremely high. Once the bones were open by even a crack, all the marrow would be pushed out, and the pure water elements and spirit qi would spill out and dissipate into the sea.
In order to ensure that the Floating Island Whale could absorb all of the marrow, the option would be to extract it on the island.
Besides the benefits that Lin Yuan was expecting, the whale fall had also brought the legendary Remembrance Soul Whale to him. This was the pleasant surprise of his trip to Raging Waves City.
When he returned to the island and was about to extract the giant whale’s bone marrow, he was instantly stunned by the island’s state.
…..
What the hell? What’s going on? Why has Silver Umber Black reverted to its original body? Why are all the sea-king experts almost dead?
White Speak was in human form as it stood atop Silver Umber Black and carved its back with a piece of white bone.
The scene was enough to make one bristle with anger.
Although Lin Yuan had not explicitly shown that he had forgiven Silver Umber Black, reading between the lines of what he had said was enough to discern his attitude toward it.
Since the Mother of Bloodbath had forgiven Silver Umber Black, he would not pursue the matter either.
Thus, why was White Speak attacking Silver Umber Black?
Lin Yuan immediately yelled, “White Speak, what’s going on?”
He trusted White Speak more than he did Silver Umber Black.
Regardless of whether White Speak believed that he was a Dictator, the glowing dots of faith in the shrine provided by White Speak were real. White Speak provided the largest glowing dots, and this meant that White Speak’s faith in Lin Yuan ran deep.
Since the glowing dots provided by White Speak had not diminished, White Speak would not go against his wishes. There had to be a reason for all of this.
Silver Umber Black shivered in terror as it watched White Speak carve the scales off its back. When it recalled the things that White Speak had done to it, all the hair on its back stood up.
When Silver Umber Black saw Lin Yuan had returned to the island, it screamed wildly, “Lin Yuan, save me! I’ll do anything if you’ll save me! I’ll tell you all of the First Emperor Shark Clan’s secrets that I know of!”
At that moment, Silver Umber Black was like a rabbit that had been backed into a corner by a tiger and had suddenly spotted a glimmer of hope.
White Speak spun around and jumped down from Silver Umber Black’s back. It placed the silvery-blue paste he had carved out of Silver Umber Black’s back into a crystal bottle and said, “Lord, you specifically said that no one from the island was allowed to enter the sea. But, I found this smelly fish eyeing the sea suspiciously. Since this smelly fish did not listen to your instruction, I decided to teach it a lesson. This smelly fish needs to learn its place. Servants should stick to doing what servants do. Since it wants to be your servant, how can it ignore your order?”
Lin Yuan was slightly surprised when he heard what White Speak said.
White Speak sure knew how to protect him.
Besides people close to him like the Mother of Bloodbath and Liu Jie, Lin Yuan did not want nor would he allow anyone to know that he had obtained the Remembrance Soul Whale.
He looked at Silver Umber Black, who had transformed back into human form. Silver Umber Black was in a pathetic state, and its shiny horn appeared dimmer. There was also blood oozing out of its mouth. Clearly, White Speak had not held back.
When Lin Yuan seemed to have no intention of blaming White Speak, it knew that it had succeeded in currying favor.
In White Speak’s eyes, Silver Umber Black’s action was punishable by death.
It was just a puny smelly fish. Yet, it dared to ignore Lord Dictator!
Since White Speak lived in the marsh world, life rank was above all else.
Any dimensional lifeform that dared to defy its Apostle would be punished harshly in the dimensional world. After experiencing the dimensional world’s merciless ways, White Speak repeated it on Silver Umber Black.
The Kill Food Sky Butterfly first looked at White Speak with fright before it walked over to Lin Yuan and said, “Lin Yuan, things happened just as White Speak said. Although White Speak’s methods are extreme, I don’t think White Speak’s in the wrong.”

The Kill Food Sky Butterfly shot a scathing look at Silver Umber Black.
If only the Kill Food Sky Butterfly were as capable at flattery as White Speak, it would have also stopped Silver Umber Black from peeking into the sea.
Given that Silver Umber Black was a Sea Emperor that had reached Immortal Breed, using its spiritual energy to sense beneath the water was no different from seeing with its eyes.
Lin Yuan walked over to Silver Umber Black and cocked his head as he asked the humiliated Silver Umber Black, “It looks everything you said before I went to collect the whale fall was a lie.”
For some reason, Silver Umber Black felt a chill overwhelm its heart, and it hurriedly pleaded, “Lord, I have never been anyone’s subordinate before, so it’s understandable that I don’t understand the rules. Please give me a chance. I know a lot of information about the First Emperor Shark Clan, and I’ll tell you all of it. I can also tell you anything and everything that you want to know about the First Emperor Cutlass Clan.”
Lin Yuan did not forgive Silver Umber Black immediately. Although it should be telling the truth as it would not be reduced to being any other sea clan’s subordinate even if the First Emperor Cutlass Clan had waned in power, it was not good for it to be unaware of the rules.
This was especially so because he had decided to make the First Emperor Shark Clan pay a price, and he would definitely be starting a war with the sea clans.
Leaving a Sea Emperor that was unaware of the rules by his side would only cause him trouble.
Rules could not be picked up in a day, and Lin Yuan did not have the time to educate Silver Umber Black.
Thus, fear became the best solution. As long as Silver Umber Black’s heart was pumped full of fear, it would think about the consequences before it acted and be careful about breaking the rules.
Lin Yuan turned and asked White Speak, “White Speak, what is that thing you carved out?”
