After the Merman King uttered those words, the only ones who could move were the Merman King and his Golden Phosphorus Guardian, namely the one named Xiyue.

Shen Jue tried to move, but found that she was currently unable to move.

Shen Jue: I was careless. She shouldn't have deactivated her invisibility when exploring the underground labyrinth.

It's too late to regret it now!

I can only try to keep my presence to myself and hope they won't notice me.

Fortunately, things are developing in the direction Shen Jue hoped for.

The other party really didn't notice her, perhaps because they felt she wasn't as dangerous as the Blackscale Merman.

Then, they witnessed the Mermaid King's brutal methods against the Black-Scaled Mermaids, beating them to the point of near death.

This merman king doesn't seem to be that violent!

How could you be so ruthless from the start!

After about several tens of seconds, the stillness ended, and Shen Jue, who had been restricted, was able to move again.

However, Shen Jue was wondering if the Merman King could use the same method again.

If this ability can still be used, then it would be far too much.

The black-scaled merman was beaten to the point of near death and was about to die.

At this moment, Xi Yue asked again about Gui Yi's purpose in coming here.

Guiyi remained silent, muttering to himself that their king's grand plan was about to succeed.

In his eyes, the merman in front of him was not a merman king at all.

His mission is complete, and it won't be long before the king will be able to control the Mermaid Sea.

Abolish the protective barrier of the Mermaid Sea, allowing its creatures to access other seas, thereby gaining control of the entire ocean and becoming its overlord.

But he would never see that day again!

The Merman King couldn't extract any useful information from him, and these rebellious Black-Scaled Mermen were of no use to him either.

Yuan waved his hand, and Xi Yue immediately understood that the king wanted to rest and wanted him to handle the affairs after his death.

The king knew that he and Guiyi had known each other since childhood, and now Guiyi was on the verge of death, so death was inevitable.

By having him send Guiyi off on his final journey, it was a way of preserving Guiyi's dignity.

After dealing with the Black-Scaled Merman, Yuan headed towards Shen Jue's location.

Even though the Merman King hadn't done anything, Shen Jue's hair stood on end, and he got goosebumps all over his body.

Being targeted by a dangerous creature is definitely not a pleasant feeling.

My adrenaline surged, and my whole body went into a state of alert.

Shen Jue secretly slapped a time-limited invincible defense card onto himself.

Although she couldn't make an invincible defense card, there were plenty of time-limited defense cards in the game store, so she bought a lot and stockpiled them.

Although the Invincible Defense Card only lasts for one day, that's enough.

Yuan approached Shen Jue and said, "Now that we've dealt with them, it's time to talk about you, the outsider."

Shen Jue remained silent.

Yuan looked down at Shen Jue. "Tell me, how did you get through the protective barrier? Or, to put it another way, what is your purpose in coming here?"

Very well, now we're starting to doubt her purpose in coming here.

Skip the questions and get straight to the point.

However, Shen Jue had already come up with a solution.

Shen Jue: "First of all, I came here by accident. As for the protective barrier you mentioned, it was broken by a strange sea beast outside the sea. I was terrified at the time, and when I saw that there was a gap in the barrier, I rushed over..."

Afterwards, Shen Jue fabricated an explanation for her appearance in the underground labyrinth.

Still feeling a bit thirsty, I added a sentence just to be on the safe side.

"If 'Shen Jue' utters even a single falsehood today, may 'Shen Jue' be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

Shen Jue spoke with absolute certainty, and his sincere eyes seemed genuine.

Anyway, this 'Chen Jue' is not the same as that Shen Jue; the name she swore an oath to was all made up by her.

Even if something happens, it has nothing to do with Shen Jue.

Anyway, the merfolk don't know which "珏" refers to, so they can just use a homophone.

I swear by the name Shen Jue, Shen Jue is serious.

After thinking about it for a while, the Merman King actually believed it.

To be fair, the Mermaid King is a king who depends on attitude.

They are also willing to give Shen Jue a chance to showcase his abilities.

Therefore, Shen Jue stayed temporarily in the underwater palace as a guest.

We'll leave once we find a way to leave the barrier...
