Chapter 1166 Patching up the mess when suddenly the table is flipped
The mermaids welcomed back the Queen's two princesses and lifted the alarm, but they did not let their guard down.
Internally, the number of mermaid warriors patrolling on spiky seahorses has doubled.
To the outside world, strong members of the merfolk would ride fish-dragons and lead a small team to patrol within the area protected by the merfolk.
Completely bewildered, the demon was treated with the highest honors by the mermaid clan and placed in a magnificent palace formed from natural coral.
A variety of precious marine supplements, delicacies, and unique seafood fruits are served.
The demon symbolically drank some of the azure blue sea vine wine, and felt somewhat full after looking at the strangely shaped foods on the table.
It's definitely not because the octopus tentacles sashimi, hem slices, or anything like that are too visually striking.
This startled the mermaid maids standing by. Forgetting all etiquette, they quietly approached and softly asked, "Young master, is there something we've done wrong? Or is the food not to your liking?"
The arrival of beautiful women was overwhelming, leaving the demon spirit somewhat overwhelmed.
Fortunately, he had traveled all over the country with Ye Nanxiao and developed a good eye.
It was just a momentary panic; he quickly recovered and activated his skills.
Soon, the spirit, using only its eyes, helped these mermaid ladies make suggestions about their bra sizes.
"You seem to be enjoying yourself?" Regent led Liya in.
The moment the mermaid maids saw Regent, they immediately stood at attention and bowed before returning to their respective positions.
But their eyes still couldn't help drifting towards the demon.
Most of the mermaid maids don't have much fighting talent, so they stay by the side of the higher-ups and serve as maids.
The fact that the spirit was greeted by mermaid maids indicates that the spirit was a guest highly valued by the mermaid race.
After all, the demon spirit was Lijing's nominal senior brother, and the mermaid clan couldn't possibly be lacking in hospitality.
"Hey, when are you going to take me back?" the spirit asked.
Although the Coral Palace where he was currently located was separated from the seawater by water stones, the moisture was still very strong, which made the demon spirit, who was born from land, feel very uncomfortable.
It's as if if you let water bubbles swell for too long, they'll peel off a layer of skin.
"What's the rush? I'm not planning on taking you back anymore," Regent scoffed.
"What?!"
The demon jumped up in a panic. This was an unknown depth of sea. How was he going to get back to land?
Swim back?
I'm afraid that the moment I step out, I'll be crushed into a pancake by the water pressure.
The demon stared at Lijing, who was raising her eyebrows, feeling somewhat helpless. She had been careless and had actually followed her into the water.
"Okay, senior sister, stop playing around, senior sister! What do you want, senior sister?!"
Yao Ling is a person of principle; she never hesitates to call someone "senior sister" when it's appropriate.
Regent's lips curled up slightly, and her eyes smiled like two small crescent moons.
"Alright, to tell you the truth, the Queen Mother and the High Priests need to discuss the issue of spatial rifts appearing on land, so please stay behind for now, as they have some questions to ask."
"If you take a fancy to them, it's not necessarily a bad thing."
"No! Junior brother, I still yearn for a free life!"
The demon spirit resolutely refused, ignoring the mermaid maids' watery eyes.
He didn't want anything to restrict his free movement.
Regent was just mentioning it casually, "Come with me, Mother Queen has some questions to ask."
The spirit nodded, got up and followed behind Lijing, all the way along the shiny pebble path made of some kind of stone.
They proceeded towards the palace.
The demon stared at Lijing's footprints without looking up or glancing around.
No matter how mysterious the legendary mermaid palace was, he just wanted to finish quickly and return to land.
It is only after being away from land for a long time that one begins to miss it.
The mermaid queen did not remove her armor; she simply sat on the throne, still clad in it. Apart from her, there were no ministers, only the high priest.
"Welcome, guest from afar!" The high priest walked up with a smile.
"The High Priestess of the Mermaid Clan," Regent introduced simply.
The spirit reached out its hand, wanting to shake hands with her, but Lijing waved its hand slightly.
She and the demon spirit were influenced by Ye Nanxiao, but the mermaid high priest couldn't understand handshake etiquette.
So the demon had no choice but to put its hands together and bow in greeting.
The reason the mermaid high priest invited the demon spirit was simple: he hoped to learn more about the void creatures that had emerged from the spatial rift.
Faced with this question, the demon spirit naturally answered all his questions.
It was learned that this spatial rift appeared because humans forcibly stretched space.
The faint smiles on the faces of the Mermaid Queen and the High Priest vanished.
The merfolk fought bravely to seal the spatial rift and prevent the abyss from invading, but some humans actually tried to force open the spatial rift and let the abyss in.
Anger ignited the reason of the two supreme mermaids.
"Very well! I never thought that my mermaid race had shed so much blood for the continent! In the end, it was humans who set themselves on fire!" The mermaid queen couldn't help but slam her trident down.
The golden trident's tail struck the palace floor tiles, producing a crisp sound that echoed throughout the entire palace.
The two mermaid guards standing at the door immediately knelt on one knee, submitting to the empress's wrath.
Lijing glanced at the demon spirit, and seeing that the latter was unharmed, she quickly stepped forward and took the Empress's arm. "Mother, please calm down!"
The mermaid queen realized her lapse in composure and quickly composed herself.
The demon spirit understood this, after all, the mermaid race was responsible for sealing the spatial rifts in the sea, and they paid a heavy price for it, which led to the decline of the mermaid race.
While frantically patching the system, a guy suddenly appeared who was good at flipping tables.
The fact that the Mermaid Queen hasn't started a war with humans shows that she still has some sense of reason.
The Mermaid Queen apologized to the spirit, then instructed Regent to retrieve some treasures from the treasury and give them to the spirit.
Regent agreed and turned to go to the treasure vault.
After Regent left, the Mermaid Queen and the Mermaid High Priest exchanged a glance, and then both looked at the Demon Spirit.
Then the merman high priest spoke first, "May I ask which part of the land you come from, young friend? Do you belong to any tribe?"
The latest novel is first published here!
The demon spirit raised his eyebrows slightly. He remembered his master saying that when someone asked him this question, it was either about marriage or they wanted something from him.
"High Priest, I come from the very center of the continent, from the Soul Beast Organization." The demon spirit thought for a moment before answering the question.
Regent, the junior sister who insists on calling herself her senior, knows herself much better.
These two people in front of me must have inquired about me before.
"Young friend, you have fought alongside my mermaid clan this time, so you should know that the mermaid clan is bound hand and foot on land. Therefore, I would like to ask if you could assist Regent in carrying out the sealing activities on land," the mermaid high priest said with a smile.
During this demon-sealing operation, the stronger mermaids who were more adapted to land have been seriously injured and are unconscious. Now, only Regent, who wields the Water Stone, remains.
The other mermaid powerhouses, although they once held the title of Douluo (which was abolished by the Empress), could not stay on land for too long.
Their power will gradually decline as they spend more time on land, unless they return to the sea.
This was something the mermaid high priest couldn't do.
So the Mermaid Queen opened the treasure vault and let Regent choose, without specifying how many treasures to select.
Given Regent's personality, she would certainly not treat the spirits who contributed their efforts unfairly.
This is considered one of the rewards the mermaids give to the spirits.
"Young friend, the merfolk promise you that as long as you are in the ocean, you are a distinguished guest of our merfolk, and you are welcome to come and chat with this old man anytime." The merfolk high priest offered the merfolk's second reward.
The spirit agreed. Although she didn't know what the mermaid high priest's abilities were, Regent clearly respected this elderly mermaid.
Making more friends is a good thing.
On her way back, Regent encountered Cihai, a powerful mermaid who was rushing to the treasure vault with a token in hand.
"Aunt Ci, how is Sister Moyin's injury?" Lijing asked hurriedly.
She was somewhat alarmed by the sight of Moyin's body covered in black patterns.
Ci Hai shook his head, his expression grim. "Mo Yin's condition is very bad. That terrifying and eerie killing intent is constantly eroding her body! She can't withstand it!"
Upon hearing this, Regent's expression changed, her steps faltered, and she immediately opened the treasure vault.
"What kind of healing medicine does Sister Demon Voice need? Does the treasure vault have any? If not, I'll go find some right away!"
Lijing hadn't forgotten that Demon Sound Douluo had withstood Zhongli Wu's attack for her and her sister's sake.
Ci Hai shook his head slightly. "I need to treat her first to know how serious Mo Yin's injuries are."
Regent took the initiative and brought out all the precious natural medicinal materials for treatment from the treasure vault.
Two mermaids carried a large quantity of rare and precious medicinal herbs and rushed quickly toward the treatment area.
The treatment center was already packed with a large number of medical officers, and the scene looked somewhat chaotic.
Cihai shouted, "Make way!" and pushed through the group of mermaids.
Lijing saw that the Demon Sound Douluo's eyes were now tightly furrowed, his lips were white, and even his legs could no longer maintain their transformed form, turning back into a fish tail. However, every scale on the fish tail was shrouded in a small wisp of black mist, making it look quite terrifying.
The veins, which had originally resembled thin black lines, were now completely swollen and constantly oozing blood.
"What terrifying killing intent! It's so bizarre, like the black mud of a death swamp, impossible to remove, and it's constantly devouring the soul power within the demonic voice to strengthen itself!"
Several powerful merfolk joined forces, continuously channeling pure soul power into Mo Yin's body in order to suppress Zhong Li Wu's killing intent.
However, these powerful mermaids clearly did not expect Zhongli Wu's killing intent to be so troublesome. It was like a maggot clinging to a bone; if it was not completely eradicated, it would quickly regenerate in a short period of time.
Regent immediately summoned the Water Stone and placed it on Demon Sound.
The Water Stone emitted a soft glow, and pure water elements continuously flowed into the Demon Sound's body, suppressing the black meridians that resembled earthworms.
Under the power of the Water Stone, the black meridians were suppressed back to their normal thickness, and the demonic voice's soul power also calmed down.
"Suppressing it is the only solution; this can't go on!" Ci Hai quickly adjusted the herbs. "Your Highness, we need to place the demonic sound into the ancestral land!"
