These were the disciples of Tiangongmen, but there was one person missing on the boat.
"Where is your senior brother Qiu Jichen?" Lu Xianyun called out from behind them.
Lu Xianyun's sudden appearance and disappearance scared the people on the boat.
However, when they turned around and found that it was Lu Xianyun and Lu Muyun, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Lingxi quickly said, "It's you, the shop owner! My eldest brother heard that those people had captured the mermaid and were about to execute her! So he rushed back to town first."
Lu Xianyun looked at the small boat. This should also be their flying magic weapon, right? These people were still on this flying boat. How did Qiu Jichen get back?
"My senior brother can directly cast wind spells! He flew back directly!" Lingxi said.
Most people don't use wind spells to fly directly because it consumes too much spiritual energy. However, using a flying sword or flying magic weapon can save a lot of spiritual energy.
Qiu Jichen usually used this flying boat, but with so many people aboard, it would slow down. He had the pagoda to amplify his speed, so using wind magic to fly back wasn't too cumbersome.
"The mermaid was caught? The one Wu Fengyang mentioned?" Lu Xianyun asked again.
"I heard...it seems so." Lingxi said.
"Mu Yun, let's fly over and take a look quickly." Lu Xianyun said.
The two were originally standing on the sea. When Lu Muyun heard this, he immediately drew his sword.
"Then let's go over and take a look first. Don't be in a hurry, take your time. Safety first." Lu Xianyun jumped onto his brother's sword and said to the people on the boat.
Just as he was about to fly away, Lu Xianyun made his brother slam on the brakes. He turned around and asked again, "By the way, which town are they in?"
"I heard it's Yuman Town." Lingxi said quickly.
This is a really good name. Lu Xianyun remembered it and urged his brother to fly quickly.
You may not be able to find the right location right away and may have to ask a few more times!
After several twists and turns, they finally arrived at the right place.
At this time, the town seemed empty, and all the people gathered in the small square in the town.
A cross was erected in the square, and a mermaid was tied to it. The only difference between her and the ordinary people being burned at the stake was that the legs were not tied underneath, but a tail.
Lu Xianyun and Lu Muyun finally saw the mermaid they had always longed to see.
It was a little different from what Lu Xianyun had imagined. Originally, she had imagined that the mermaids in Chinese mythology were the same as the mermaids in foreign mythology.
But in reality, this is not the case. Their tails are not broad fish tails, but long and thin. If it weren't for the fins on top, they would look more like snake tails.
There was a monk standing triumphantly next to the cross. If he was not mistaken, it was he who caught the mermaid.
There were a few monks nearby who were feeling indignant.
"Humph! What's there to be proud of? You just got there a little earlier than us!"
"That's right, this mermaid isn't hard to catch! She's not hiding in the deep sea, she's right here on the shore every day. Anyone passing by can see her right away!"
"You got the Haiyou Pearl just like that. It's such a bargain for you. I can't accept it just thinking about it!"
"But is it really her? Did we catch the wrong person?"
"It can't be wrong, this has been confirmed!"
"Huh? Where's Wu Fengyang? If we can confirm, he should be there, right? Why don't I see him?"
Lu Xianyun also heard these words and was also a little confused.
Didn't Wu Fengyang hate this mermaid to the core, crying out for revenge? Why was Wu Fengyang nowhere to be seen in such a scene?
Doesn’t he want to see the mermaid being killed with his own eyes?
This is really a bit strange.
Lu Xianyun said a few words in Lu Muyun's ear.
Lu Muyun looked at his sister helplessly, nodded and went to do it.
The monk who had captured the merman was about to cast a fire spell to ignite the cross when a voice suddenly shouted, "Stop!"
Lu Xianyun looked in the direction of the voice and saw Qiu Jichen jumping out.
"You can't just kill that mermaid like that! What we heard before was only Wu Fengyang's one-sided story. We haven't heard what the mermaid said yet. It's still unclear who is right and who is wrong!"
The monk frowned and looked at Qiu Jichen with unfriendly eyes.
This is delaying him from getting the Haiyou Pearl!
How could he be happy when he was about to get the treasure and someone suddenly came out to stop him?
"Turning humans into mermaids, who else but mermaids can do that? What else is there to ask?
"Besides, we are all human. If humans don't help humans, why should we help mermaids?"
Qiu Jichen's expression remained unchanged in the face of these words.
"Who I help and who I don't help isn't because of whether I'm human or not. It's because of what's right.
"Before we find out the truth of the matter, we can't hurt other people's lives at will!"
Qiu Jichen's words earned him a lot of cold stares. Many people thought this guy was hopelessly pedantic.
As he spoke, Qiu Ji Chen had already stood in front of the mermaid, with an attitude that said, "If I don't make things clear today, you won't be able to kill this mermaid."
The monk who had captured the mermaid was already impatient. He asked, "So, tell me, what do you want?"
"I want to hear what this mermaid has to say!"
"Trouble! You have to listen to a mute speak." The monk rolled his eyes.
It’s not that mermaids can’t speak, they just can’t speak on land.
Qiu Ji Chen first cast an earth spell and built a huge pool.
Then he cast a water spell and filled the pool with water.
Qiu Ji Chen untied the mermaid from the cross and put it into the pool.
Qiu Jichen stood by the pool and said to the people around him, "If I go in alone to listen, you will inevitably not believe me. Is there anyone else willing to go in with me?"
However, a monk stood up.
Lu Xianyun thought about it and decided to go over and join in the fun.
The three of them entered the pool together.
Originally, Qiu Jichen had been in charge of the situation, but when he saw Lu Xianyun coming, he stopped talking, and seemed to have the intention of giving priority to Lu Xianyun.
Lu Xianyun was stunned. She was just there to watch the fun, so why was she supposed to be in charge now?
However, Lu Xianyun wasn't shy, so she looked at the merman and asked, "Do you know Wu Fengyang?"
Everyone looked at the mermaid, waiting for her answer.
Even when this mermaid was tied to the cross, her eyes were very calm. So Lu Xianyun was very skeptical about whether she would speak.
