Just as everyone was furious, the Monkey King slowly stood up from the ground.
He collected the top-grade spirit stones from the ground and approached the nine people. Although Song Xiangrui's behavior was somewhat despicable, there were some things the Great Sage Equaling Heaven had to face.
No matter how strong the East Sea Merfolk are, since the Old Madam has already handed over the power of the Chen family to him, and he is the Lord of the Asura Hall, he has to stand up and protect his clansmen and brothers from all of this.
The Monkey King may not have been as noble as his ancestor, but he was never one to shirk responsibility.
Seeing that the Great Sage Equaling Heaven had actually stepped forward, and that no one around him had objected, the powerful members of the Merfolk frowned. Even if they didn't believe that the Great Sage Equaling Heaven could become the leader of the Southern Heaven Alliance with only the third level of the Heavenly Realm, they still had to take this young man seriously.
"Since you are the leader of the Southern Heaven Alliance, then I will have a chat with you."
Ao Shenling looked coldly at the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and said, "The Merfolk of the East Sea have come from afar with a very clear purpose: to flatten the Southern Territory! But because the heroes who saved the Merfolk a million years ago have saved the Southern Territory, I can give you a chance to ask for help before you die! Now, you can bring back the Southern Territory Saints from the Milky Way, and I won't mind."
The Monkey King narrowed his eyes slightly, staring intently at the gaunt old man wearing a crown.
"Clan Chief Ao, in fact, I am very curious about what method the Eternal Sword Sect used to persuade your Merfolk to become enemies of the Southern Border! Even if you eventually conquer the Southern Border, what then? Wouldn't the East Sea suffer heavy casualties?"
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
The black-robed elder behind Ao Shen angrily rebuked, "This is the will of our East Sea Merfolk race! What does it have to do with the Eternal Sword Sect? Do you think our proud Merfolk race would be coerced or instructed by others?" "Ao Shen!"
Ao Shen waved his hand, signaling the black-robed elder to step back, then coldly addressed the Great Sage Equaling Heaven: "Our Merfolk have always acted with integrity and uprightness, and we are not afraid to let you know. Xiahou Baiyi, the young sect master of the Eternal Sword Sect, was born with a dragon pearl in his mouth and is the reincarnation of the Dragon God. The dragon is the faith and totem of the Merfolk! The Dragon God has declared that if the Southern Territory is not destroyed, the Merfolk will surely decline, so we must nip this future danger in the bud!"
"hehe!"
The Monkey King sneered.
He knew how terrifying the power of faith could be.
But it would be ridiculous if the Merfolk went to such lengths just because of Xiahou Baiyi's prophecy.
At this moment, Old Taro explained the wonderful uses of the Dragon Balls in the Heavenly Book World, and the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's eyes immediately narrowed.
He immediately raised his head and sneered, "Clan Chief Ao, to avoid the infamy of killing each other with humans, you've pinned all the blame on faith and totems, which is a disgrace to the dragon totem. If I'm not mistaken, your real purpose is the dragon pearl in Xiahou Baiyi's possession, isn't it? As far as I know, the dragon pearl, nurtured using the Merfolk's methods, can raise a guardian dragon for the clan! Your Merfolk's dealings with Xiahou Baiyi are nothing more than a transaction; why make it sound so noble?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the group of merfolk saints changed drastically.
How did the Monkey King, a mere youth from the Southern Territory, know the uses of the Dragon Balls?
That's their mermaid clan's biggest secret!
In an instant, murderous intent filled the air above the giant waves!
The Great Sage Equaling Heaven knew he had exposed the Merfolk's true intentions, and the Merfolk were already furious. He immediately asked Tang Zhengde, "Vice Dean Tang, have you received any news about contacting the Sages in the Milky Way that I asked you to do?"
Tang Zhengde said with a grim expression, "There has been no reply yet. There must be some trouble in the Milky Way. The Sages are unable to get away."
Upon hearing this, the group of human powerhouses immediately fell into despair!
The human sages in the Milky Way are their only reliance! If the sages do not return, the Southern Territory will surely be destroyed!
What should they do?
Song Xiangrui's gaze turned sinister as he looked coldly at the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, and said, "Boy, the fate of the entire Southern Human Race now rests in your hands. Aren't you very capable? If you can't help the Southern Region overcome this crisis, you will be a sinner of the Southern Region!"
The Monkey King gave Song Xiangrui a cold look.
The old lady and the others glared angrily at each other.
"Song Xiangrui, don't throw accusations around! What does the fall of the Southern Territory have to do with the Great Sage Equaling Heaven? Even on his deathbed, you want to make my grandson bear the blame?"
“Patriarch Song, what you’re saying is inappropriate. The saints cannot return. Let alone the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, even if Chen Changyi killed Yue Buwei and returned, he wouldn’t be able to save the Southern Territory against the East Sea Merfolk!”
"Today is destined to be the end of the Southern Territory. You are shifting all the blame onto Young Master Chen. Your intentions are despicable!"
Song Xiangrui snorted coldly, "Why should I care about all that?"
He wanted to upset the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, and to incite resentment towards him among certain unscrupulous human cultivators.
"Buzz!"
Just then, a buzzing sound rang out from the sky.
A flying magical artifact that had been hidden in the clouds slowly emerged.
Everyone looked up!
The hatch opened, and a woman in a floral dress came into view.
She stretched lazily, revealing her graceful curves, and a charming smile curved her lips.
"Lin Sixin of the Heaven and Earth Chamber of Commerce has come to assist Young Master Chen."
