The merfolk looked up, staring at the shocking scenes, speechless with astonishment.
Just like today, they received a distress message from Lingyue, word for word.
They were anxious and worried, and without a doubt, they were determined to rescue her.
After some hesitation, the clan chief agreed.
Then, leaving behind the elderly, the weak, and the young, he led them ashore and finally stepped into the encirclement of 30,000 Imperial Guards.
With their magic power halved and completely unprepared, they were overwhelmed by sheer numbers and eventually fought until they were all captured.
Like Lingyue, she was locked in a cage that had been prepared beforehand.
Exposed to the sun, bled, and shed pearls—nothing was spared.
Finally, after they were drained of blood and blinded, their merfolk cores were dug out.
Even the corpses were used to make medicine.
It can be said that everything was arranged perfectly, and nothing was wasted.
The merfolk were already pale with fright at this point, thinking it was the end, but then the scene changed.
Wu Sha used the clan leader's Shark Pill to open the barrier, and swarms of sharks poured into their home.
All the remaining merfolk perished in the sharks.
They even saw Wu Sha lift Tongtong's tiny body up and swallow it bite by bite.
Tongtong's screams and howls of pain echoed throughout the hall as her chubby golden fish tail disappeared into the two rows of sharp teeth.
The merfolk trembled all over, tears streaming down their faces.
So this is what happened to them.
The entire clan was wiped out; not a single person survived.
Tongtong's mother covered his eyes, and the usually gentle and beautiful mermaid's eyes were red and bleeding.
Anyone who sees their little one die such a tragic death would go crazy.
She asked, enunciating each word clearly, "Did all of these actually happen?"
Qi An nodded: "It's true, this is what happened to you in your past life."
Under the immense impact, the merfolk finally started to use their brains.
"Why are you helping us? Where is our chieftain?"
By now, even the most foolish among them have come to understand some things.
Qi An raised an eyebrow. It's really not easy; his brain is finally starting to develop.
"As you can see, your clan died a very unjust and tragic death in your previous life. Luo Feng asked me to come here to take revenge and give you a chance to start over."
The merfolk looked pained, understanding that their chieftain must have paid a heavy price to give them a second chance at life.
Because everyone came back, except him.
Qi An interrupted their sorrow:
“I will do whatever I promised him. I have already wiped out the shark clan. Now, I’m going to kill those two idiots. What are your thoughts?”
Qi An thought to himself, if even one mermaid pleaded for Ling Yue, he would quit.
He hates the Virgin Mary the most.
Fortunately, although these merfolk were gentle and peaceful by nature, they were ultimately not saints.
They stepped forward as if they had decided to risk their lives to rescue their compatriots in their previous life.
The difference is that this time they're not there to rescue people, but to kill them.
The merfolk's eyes were resolute: "Please take us with you. We will avenge this blood feud with our own hands."
Qi An stood up: "Alright, then let them pay for their crimes in blood."
Ata breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, there's still hope!
He was really afraid that these naive and innocent people would say something like "When will this cycle of revenge end?" or "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end," and he would really be furious.
Boss Qi might not be able to resist killing these saints as well.
Qi An brought all the merfolk with him, including the old, the weak, and the young, leaving no one behind.
He wasn't Luo Feng. Since he dared to bring them, he was confident he could protect them and bring them all back safely.
Merfolk need to grow and stand on their own two feet.
This is the first step.
It was neither too early nor too late; it was exactly the tenth day that Qi An had mentioned.
On the shore, more than 300 merfolk emerged from the seawater. The moment they landed, their fish tails disappeared and turned into legs.
Little Fatty Fish Tongtong is too young; she can't even swim very well, let alone walk.
It had just transformed into a short-legged creature and taken a step when it fell flat on its face, getting a mouthful of sand.
Qi An chuckled and scooped him up, holding him close to his arm.
The town was bathed in the midday sun, a scene of tranquility and peace.
On the outside, things appear calm, but inside, they are on the verge of exploding.
Zhao Cheng slapped Lingyue hard across the face:
"You bitch, are you lying to me? Where are they? Didn't you say they would definitely come?"
Lingyue, fearing he might change his mind, covered her face and hurriedly assured him:
"I'm not lying to you, it's true. They all care about me a lot, and they'll definitely come when they get the news. They might already be on their way."
Zhao Cheng was anxious but could only wait. He said fiercely:
"Wait another half day. If no one comes by then, I will skin you, drain your blood, dig out your elixir, and give your corpse to the Taoist priest to refine elixirs."
Lingyue shivered violently, repeatedly assuring, "It will come, it will come, it definitely will come..."
Just as Zhao Cheng was about to lose his patience, a series of extremely painful screams suddenly came from outside, each one filled with the sound of blood.
Zhao Cheng was startled and quickly led his men out the door.
On the wide, deserted bluestone street, everything seemed normal, and Zhao Cheng was wondering where the screams were coming from.
Several figures suddenly fell from the sky and crashed heavily in front of him, like several smashed watermelons, splattering juice everywhere.
Some of it splashed onto his face and body.
When Zhao Cheng saw their current situation, his stomach churned, and he took a few steps back in shock.
The few people who fell from the sky were all dressed in the uniforms of the Imperial Guards, and were beyond dead.
They looked as if they had been subjected to a thousand cuts, their bodies covered with deep, bone-revealing wounds, and they had almost bled to death.
The most terrifying thing is that they all had a large hole in their chests, and their hearts had disappeared.
His heart was ripped out while he was still alive.
The Imperial Guards, who had been hiding in various places, were startled by this turn of events and appeared to be on guard.
Zhao Chenghai's face turned deathly pale, and he was filled with shock and doubt when a clear, cold, and arrogant voice rang out:
"We apologize for keeping the Fifth Prince waiting. The Merfolk Chieftain Luo Feng, along with all his clansmen, has come to pay a visit."
Zhao Cheng looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of people appear out of nowhere on the previously empty street.
They were all exceptionally beautiful; the men and women were stunningly attractive, a truly pleasing sight.
The leader was a handsome and elegant man, tall and slender, with a pair of clear and cold blue eyes, looking at him with a half-smile.
The people behind him were all staring at him, their beautiful eyes practically spitting fire.
Zhao Cheng hid behind layers of imperial guards and grabbed Lingyue to shield him before daring to question her.
"You killed my men? Do you still want to save them?"
Qi An replied sincerely, "I don't want to."
Zhao Cheng: "..."
He was so taken aback by Qi An's two unconventional words that he almost rolled his eyes.
No, if you don't want to save people, what are you doing here?
The entire clan mobilized?
Are you traveling as a group?
Lingyue heard the clan leader's voice and cried out excitedly, "Clan leader, I'm here! Please save me! Please save me..."
Qi An didn't even glance at her, and the merman behind her couldn't hold back and started cursing.
"Lingyue, you heartless bastard, you actually helped outsiders to harm us, you will die a horrible death."
Lingyue shook her head and cried, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't want to die, I'm so scared."
Please save me, I know I was wrong, I want to go home…
