The merfolk, who live in the azure sea, are pure and beautiful. Their tears can crystallize into the most perfect and precious pearls, which is why they are often coveted by greedy humans.
However, the merfolk are too powerful and possess precognitive abilities, making them far beyond the reach of a small human race to hunt.
The humans with ulterior motives came up with a plan.
emotion.
The powerful merfolk have a fatal weakness—they cannot foresee their own future destiny.
Moreover, in the very beginning, merfolk had a natural affinity for humans. They would guide lost fishing boats to the right route and rescue humans who had unfortunately fallen into the water, bringing them ashore.
Thus, this kindness was also used as a weapon by those people. They disguised themselves as drowning victims who had almost lost their lives. When the mermaids rescued them, they used enticing words to lure the mermaids to the shore. They then bound the mermaids with specially made chains and taught them to produce those flawless white pearls every moment.
The merfolk were scattered until pearls became an industry, at which point they discovered this disgusting conspiracy.
From then on, the merfolk no longer trusted humans. They loathed humans and regarded them as enemies, summoning storms at sea to capsize human ships.
From that moment on, the Merfolk and the Humans became irreconcilable enemies.
However, what is most surprising is that hundreds of years ago, the leader of the Merfolk tribe, the Merfolk Emperor, fell in love with a human woman. He insisted on marrying her, but this led to the extinction of the Merfolk tribe.
The Merman King was not immune to blame and was executed by the other Merman elders.
Qi Yu couldn't find any concrete information about the secrets, and even the matter of the Merman Emperor and the human woman was told to her by Fei Qingmu, the founding ancestor of the Flying Star Sect.
From then on, the merfolk disappeared without a trace, and no one ever caught a single clue about them again.
The human woman who mated with the Merfolk Emperor and gave birth to a child who was half-human and half-merfolk also vanished without a trace, as if she had disappeared from the face of the earth.
Qi Yu's thoughts raced, and she already had a guess in her mind.
She looked at Yi Xiangfeng and asked, "Do you currently have any contact with the Merfolk?"
Yi Xiangfeng said in a low voice, "Several hundred years ago, because of that incident... the merfolk were captured in large numbers and enslaved by humans. After that, a small number of merfolk entered the deeper sea and never came out again."
Indeed, there are not many people who know about the Merfolk race these days.
Qi Yu stared at him intently and asked, "What...is your relationship with the Mermaid Emperor?"
Yi Xiangfeng was startled again, not expecting that Qi Yu would know such a secret matter.
He remained silent for a long time before saying, "It's my father."
really.
Do you know where the Merfolk King is now?
Yi Xiangfeng lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Fairy, you are well-informed and should know that the Merfolk King was executed for bringing disaster upon himself."
Qi Yu hummed in response, and the oppressive feeling caused beads of sweat to appear on the back of Yi Xiangfeng's neck.
“Young Master Yi, if I remember correctly, you said you needed my help back then,” Qi Yu said gently. “If you can’t even tell me this truthfully, I won’t have any motivation to do this…”
After a long silence.
Yi Xiangfeng finally spoke: "The elders did not exterminate them, but instead imprisoned my father in a secluded underwater cage, so that he could spend his life reflecting on his mistakes and repenting for the dead people of the clan."
"But, for some reason, the cage suddenly disappeared, along with my imprisoned father."
He raised his head and looked at Qi Yu, saying, "Fairy, I can't see clearly where that is, but you will definitely find it."
“I ‘saw’ it.”
"The fairy will return to the 'origin' at some point in time."
Thus, the matter becomes clear.
Strangely, Yi Xiangfeng said he was waiting for her at the "origin," which meant that the origin was the first place Qi Yu arrived at after entering this world.
A dark and icy pool.
There, Qi Yu nearly perished at the hands of the out-of-control merman.
And the identity of that mermaid is now clearly laid out before Qi Yu.
Yi Xiangfeng's father—the Mermaid Emperor.
Although it is unknown why the Mermaid Emperor went from the underwater prison to the Netherworld Cold Pool where Feng Xiao was imprisoned, and it is also unknown why the Mermaid Emperor lost his mind, Qi Yu will definitely go to the Netherworld Cold Pool again.
It wasn't just to fulfill Yi Xiangfeng's wish to bring back the Mermaid Emperor.
besides……
Enter the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, which countless people flock to.
Yes, in the dream Hua Liu left her, she told her about the entrance to the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm.
Coincidentally, the entrance leads directly to the dark, icy pool of the underworld.
The golden willow branch left behind by Hua Liu is the key to unlocking the secret realm.
After her conversation with Fenxin, Qi Yu became even more determined to enter the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm and find the Demon God Qiyan.
Fenxin's obsessive feelings for Qiyan would make her disregard the lives of everyone in the world.
No, or rather, Fenxin never cared about the lives of people in the world, nor did she care who the world belonged to.
After all, she was merely a spirit born from a magical harp.
They are not human, so how could they care about the safety of the human race?
Rather, as she said, as long as she could awaken her master Qi Yan, it wouldn't matter if the Wuji Continent was devastated.
But she didn't care, while Qi Yu did.
Although she wasn't born and raised in this world, she couldn't bear to see people lose their lives for such inexplicable reasons and painfully become food for monsters.
Perhaps, the reason the system found her and bound her to the Saint Mother System was because of this.
Qi Yu glanced at Yi Xiangfeng and said, "Do you want to come with me to rescue the Mermaid King?"
