The Lord of the Abyss' body trembled violently, and then calmed down after a moment.
When he opened his eyes again, his pupils had turned into dark golden vertical pupils.
"This body..."
Huo Linger moved her new body around, feeling the demonic energy surging within her.
"It's even stronger than I expected..."
She raised her hand, and a ball of dark golden flame condensed in her palm.
"Just wait, I will take back everything you lost!"
…
Northern Territory, Fox Clan.
On Qingqiu Mountain, dark clouds covered the sun.
Li Yunsheng stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the dense army of mermaids in the sky, and couldn't help but clench his fists.
The demons came to fight the foxes, and now that the demons are gone, the mermaids are coming to join in the fun.
One hundred thousand mermaids surrounded the fox tribe tightly. The tridents in their hands gleamed coldly under the dark clouds. Waves of murderous aura surged in their wake, suffocating the fox demons.
They had just fought a great battle with the demons and suffered heavy losses. If Li Yunsheng had not broken through to the Emperor Realm, the fox clan would have been divided up by other demon clans long ago.
Now, the mermaids are coming in with great force, and the top combat power of the fox clan is far behind them.
Li Yunsheng can temporarily stop the Yin Jiao Emperor, but who will stop the other emperor and two quasi-emperors of the mermaid clan?
Su Rongya held Li Yunsheng's hand.
"Yunsheng, I'm a burden to you."
Li Yunsheng shook his head slightly.
"What are you talking about? If they were smart, they wouldn't have messed with my fox clan."
As soon as he finished speaking, the cold voice of Emperor Yin Jiao was heard from the sky.
"Hand over the Moonlight Pearl immediately, and I will spare your lives."
Emperor Yin Jiao's gaze swept over Li Yunsheng. This boy had just broken through to the Emperor realm and there was no way he could stop him.
Moreover, besides him, the mermaid clan also has a great emperor and two quasi-emperors. If the fox clan is smart, they should know how to choose.
Li Yunsheng took a deep breath and then brought out his ancestor.
"I am Li Yunsheng, from the Eastern Territory's first imperial clan. If you retreat now, it's fine. Otherwise, if our ancestors find out, they will surely destroy your entire mermaid clan without a burial place!"
Ha ha ha ha……
Li Yunsheng's words did not frighten the mermaids, but instead drew the ridicule of the Yin Mermaid Emperor.
"You don't intend to tell me that you are a descendant of Li Lingge, do you?"
Another great emperor of the mermaid clan, the Xuanyuan Demon Emperor, snorted disdainfully.
"Nowadays, everyone with the surname Li claims that their ancestor is Li Lingge."
As soon as these words were spoken, the mermaids burst into laughter.
Li Lingge's eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that citing the name of the ancestor would not be enough to scare these sea monsters.
After all, no one would believe that the Li family would marry a fox demon.
"I'll give you one stick of incense to think about it. If you don't hand over the Moonlight Pearl after that, your clan will be exterminated!"
The corner of Emperor Yin Jiao's mouth curled up slightly, and then he actually took out a stick of sandalwood from the ring and lit it.
Even if the fox clan handed over the Moon Pearl, there would be only one outcome - genocide!
How could he let go of this great opportunity to weaken the power of the demon race?
Hearing the arrogant tone of Emperor Yin Jiao, all the elders of the Fox Clan glared at him.
"furious!"
"If the ancestor were still alive, how could he allow this beast to be so arrogant!"
"The Moonlight Pearl is the most precious treasure of my Fox Clan. It must not be handed over!"
At this moment, the eyes of all the elders were focused on Li Yunsheng.
Although Li Yunsheng is a human, he has become the backbone of the fox clan since he entered the emperor realm.
In the hearts of the fox clan, he is not the clan leader but better than the clan leader.
Facing the gazes of the elders, Li Yunsheng naturally knew what they meant.
Even if it means death, the fox clan will never compromise like the mermaid clan.
Su Rongya looked at the young faces of the clan members, and a feeling of sadness welled up in her heart.
When the demons invaded, one-third of their people died.
Many young descendants died at the hands of the demons.
Now, do we still want them to continue to die?
At this moment, her heart was full of entanglements. On the one hand, there was the treasure of the clan, and on the other hand, there were those young lives. She really didn't know how to choose.
She sent her daughters to Emperor Li Tian, but who would protect these children?
Not only she but also the third elder had the same idea.
"Hand over the Moonlight Pearl," the Third Elder suddenly said, "We are no match for the Mermaids. Why should we risk the lives of our entire clan for a single pearl?"
"How dare you!" the Great Elder shouted, "The Moonlight Pearl is a sacred object of our clan. How can we give it away to others?"
"A hundred thousand merman army, with the Yin Mermaid Emperor personally in charge!" Su Qi raised his hand and pointed at the densely packed merman tribe in the sky. "How can we resist?"
The Great Elder clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms.
He knew that Su Qi was right, the fox clan was indeed no match for the mermaid clan.
But the Moonlight Pearl is a sacred object left by our ancestors and the foundation of the Fox Clan. How can we hand it over so easily?
"Even if I die—"
The first elder was interrupted by the third elder before he could finish his words.
"I'm not afraid of death. I can be the first to rush forward and fight the Yin Jiao Emperor, but what about those children in the tribe?"
As he spoke, he glanced at a fox girl standing behind the great elder with her lips tightly pursed.
She was the granddaughter of the Great Elder, the youngest member of the fox clan after Su Zhiyan.
The Third Elder's children and grandchildren all died in the last battle during the demon invasion. Even if he died now, he would have nothing to worry about.
