"I have successfully completed my mission."
Prince Ye turned to look at Bing Yi, his eyes also filled with joy.
Controlling this mantis king not only gave them a powerful ally, but also proved his beast-taming skills. How could he not be happy?
"Pulalalala..."
Soon, all the black mantises that had been attacking stopped and obediently fell to the ground.
Their motionless appearance and jet-black exterior might lead one to believe they are dead if they were unaware of their surroundings.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Having been rescued, the mermaids did not linger in the fight. They immediately flew back into the silver clouds and sped away into the distance.
"Your Majesty, are you not going to leave them behind?"
Prince Ye jumped off the Mantis King and walked up to Di Moyu, saying, "I have now successfully taken control of these mantis swarms, so becoming one of those mermaids shouldn't be too difficult."
"Need not."
Di Moyu shook his head slightly. "The most urgent thing now is to get out of here first."
"Oh dear, there's a mermaid here who hasn't left."
Just then, Jun Wuyou looked ahead and saw the mermaid lying alone on the ground, barely breathing.
"It really is."
Seeing this, the crowd stopped talking and immediately went forward to check the situation.
The mermaid was in terrible condition, almost as good as dead.
In the past, the mermaids would have brought back their companions, but this time they were probably frightened by the swarm of mantises, and since the mermaid was really weak, they abandoned it without checking it properly.
“It’s alive, so ordinary storage spaces definitely can’t fit it, and it can’t live without water, so my relics can’t fit it either.”
As Chunhu Siqiong spoke, she looked at Jun Feijue and said, "If we really want to take it away, the only thing that can release it is probably Ling's Nine Li Pot."
"But, how can this demonized mermaid enter such a pure place as the Nine Li Pot?"
Jun Weiyou frowned and said, "Actually, my main concern is that the mermaid will pollute the environment inside after it goes in, and the phoenix clan will probably be incompatible with these demonized creatures."
"I think perhaps..."
Fan Qiyue also spoke up, "Perhaps, putting it into the Nine Li Pot and using the power of the phoenix might purify the demonic energy on this mermaid's body."
"Logically, it is possible, but the Phoenix Clan has been sealed for so many years, so we don't know what their current strength is."
Long Buji chimed in, "Perhaps we can have the Phoenix Ancestor come out and ask about the situation."
"good."
Jun Feijue acted quickly, immediately calling out Feng Xuanqi.
"I can give it a try."
After understanding the whole story, Feng Xuanqi walked up to the mermaid and began to purify it.
"Ode to the Phoenix, Auspicious Heavenly Music".
He took out a futon woven from a sycamore branch and had the mermaid sit on it. Then he formed a mudra with his hands and began to chant a blessing for it.
It's less like reciting and more like singing.
Unlike Feng Xuanqi's aged appearance, his singing voice was very clear and deep, with an indescribable sense of beauty. Although the others were not the direct targets of purification, they were almost intoxicated by his beautiful singing.
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
Meanwhile, the mantises nearby seemed to be resistant to this pure power and began to become restless.
"These mantises are troublesome."
