As for the second matter, they need to know how many half-decayers are in the Kangsu Water Cube and whether the human race needs to send out a half-decayer team.
Within the battlefield, the race that brings out the Half-Decadents earlier will be less capable of succession, because the earlier they appear, the lower their strength will be, and the faster they will decline in the later stages. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, these Half-Decadents should hide until the path to godhood opens.
That would be the best time for a race's inherent potential to be unleashed.
Under the disguise of divine power, Jiang Yuan watched the guards of the Sea King's Palace walk past him, but he did not make a move immediately.
"They're all at the Nascent Soul stage!"
Jiang Yuan's expression was somewhat solemn. He originally thought he had overestimated the sea race, but now it seemed that he was still far from being right.
The sea creatures occupy hundreds of times more space than the land, and the number of powerful beings they nurture in such a resource-rich environment is countless times that of the human race.
"It seems that sneaking in silently will be a bit difficult!" Jiang Yuan stretched out his arm, and a golden pattern faintly appeared.
To carry out such an assassination and take his place, he must use the Primordial Artifact. However, he still has some concerns, as the fluctuations of the Primordial Artifact may be detected by the Half-Immortal.
"My husband, I'll go along with you!"
Just as Jiang Yuan was about to make a move, An Xiaoyu, whom he had ordered not to act rashly, suddenly transmitted her voice.
Jiang Yuan glanced at her with an angry look, but An Xiaoyu stared back at him very seriously.
"I can transform into a mermaid, and with the Heavenly Charm Body and my two mythical skills, I'm more than capable of holding back this male sea creature guard!" An Xiaoyu explained her actions, hoping to gain Jiang Yuan's approval.
"Then how will you get away?" Jiang Yuan had to be cautious, because once An Xiaoyu was exposed, she would have to walk around the Water Cube as a mermaid.
"Then it's up to you!"
An Xiaoyu gave Jiang Yuan a flirtatious look.
Jiang Yuan frowned and pondered deeply. He roughly understood what An Xiaoyu meant, but it was too risky.
"Okay, I promise I won't do anything reckless."
An Xiaoyu finally had to give in, saying, "Besides, with me here, we can look out for each other."
"Brother Yuan, please let Xiaoyu stay with you. Otherwise, I really can't take care of her. Just look at what happened last time at the Ancient Sea Abyss. You weren't there when that incident occurred." Tang Yingjun didn't dare keep this troublesome woman around.
Jiang Yuan frowned, then nodded and said, "Let's do it!"
The two approached the guard team again, but this time the plan had changed. An Xiaoyu wanted to create an opportunity for Jiang Yuan to get a solo kill.
"My husband, watch my eyes and act accordingly later."
After giving her a flirtatious wink, An Xiaoyu spat out a mermaid pearl, which was the spoils of war she had obtained by helping the mermaid clan activate their inherited mermaid pearl. Now, it became the best cover for her identity.
"Oh my god, what kind of place is this? There isn't a single merman here!"
As she spoke, An Xiaoyu broke the silence and rashly barged into the heavily guarded area.
"Foreign enemy invasion! Be on alert!"
An Xiaoyu's voice drew a huge reaction. The guards activated the formation and, with its help, quickly locked onto An Xiaoyu and surrounded her.
This was also the first time Jiang Yuan had seen the scale of the Kangsu Water Cube Guard Team. It could only be described as extremely large. This was a force prepared for war, and once it was in operation, even a half-decayed person would not be able to escape safely from it.
"Xiaoyu, don't mess this up!"
Although Jiang Yuan was worried, he could only hope that An Xiaoyu had her own confidence.
Her ability to thrive among the mermaids proves that her disguise is effective. Moreover, the Heavenly Demon Body's inherent advantage lies in gaining the trust of the opposite sex and being adept at infiltration and escapism.
"Who are you, daring to trespass into the sacred territory of my sea race!"
An Xiaoyu was surrounded, and the captain of the guard team was interrogating her with a sea halberd in hand.
"If you dare to yell at me, then I'll pick you, you unlucky bastard!"
An Xiaoyu, who was secretly grumbling to herself, lingered her gaze on the captain of the guard team for a moment, and then asked with a puzzled look, "What kind of important sea tribe territory is this? I came here from the Red Sea Islands to fight, how did I end up in this wretched place?"
After saying that, An Xiaoyu angrily flicked her fishtail and complained, "I don't even have a single mermaid companion. I should have known better than to answer the call of the great sea god to participate in the war between land and sea!"
Upon hearing the words "Red Island Reef" and "responding to the call of the Great Sea God," the guards' attitude instantly underwent a complete 180-degree turn. This was because Red Island Reef was one of the two ancestral homelands of the merfolk, and those born there were all nobles and royalty. Furthermore, responding to the Sea God's call meant that only those whose talents reached a certain level would receive the Sea God's personal summons to fight for their race.
Before these people could react, An Xiaoyu took the initiative and used the power of her divine essence to shake off those around her. In an arrogant tone, she shouted, "What are you all still doing here? Don't you know we are at war with the human race? Are you all neglecting your duties?"
"Your subordinate wouldn't dare!"
The guards knelt down in unison; the divine power emanating from the other party was the best proof of his identity.
"Who is the highest-ranking officer here?"
An Xiaoyu seized the opportunity to implement the next step of her plan: to win over a member of the Sea Clan and then have Jiang Yuan replace him, thus securing their qualifications for infiltration.
"Your Excellency, it is Asa, the guard, who reports."
The sea creature that had previously pointed its weapon at An Xiaoyu saluted.
"This is a military stronghold. I won't make things difficult for you. Just send me out!"
An Xiaoyu didn't want to cause trouble, but she would still create opportunities for Jiang Yuan.
