"What!" Upon hearing this, the Mermaid Queen was completely flustered and hurriedly got up to go to her rescue.
The ceremony to be held will likely be presided over by the King of the Unruly Kingdom. Originally, she was extremely reluctant to meet this famous and powerful demon, but now, for the sake of Princess Peacock, she has no choice but to take the risk.
The Xuan Su double guards hurriedly said, "Let's go together!"
The Mermaid Queen gave the two of them a cold look: "If I hadn't just treated you, you probably wouldn't even be able to stand up right now, so how could you possibly go and save people?"
The two guards, Xuan and Su, blushed deeply. They knew the other was telling the truth; in their current state, they were absolutely incapable of fighting, and going with the other would only be a hindrance.
Seeing the two men's dejected expressions, the Mermaid Queen was also somewhat lost in thought. Why was she less patient with them than with that silly guard from before?
Logically speaking, the two of them should be slightly closer to her than to that strange, foolish guard.
"Take advantage of the fact that the guards outside haven't discovered you yet, and escape quickly. It's better to keep your bodies so you can contribute to your demon race in the future."
After saying that, she ignored the two of them and flashed towards the largest and most luxurious room in the center of the Four Directions Hall.
Seeing the other person disappear, the Xuan Su double guards were somewhat dazed and exchanged a glance:
"Xuanxuan, what do we do now?"
“If something happens to the princess, what is the point of our lives?”
“Well said. Since we can’t fight now, let’s make some noise in the Four Directions Hall to attract the demons’ attention. This will also help our benefactor and hopefully she can rescue the princess.”
"You'll die."
What is there to fear in death?
What is there to fear in death!
Their eyes gradually hardened, and they strode out, heads held high. They had decided to risk their lives to increase even the slightest chance of success.
However, as soon as they stepped out of the room, everything went black and they fainted.
Zuan stepped out from the side, grabbed the two men by the collar, and couldn't help but sigh: "These are two loyal and righteous men; they shouldn't die like this."
He had just sensed the presence of a demon, but still couldn't rest easy, so he secretly followed.
Observing from the shadows, he also greatly admired the two loyal guards and could not bear to see them go to their deaths.
He moved the two people outside the Four Directions Hall and hid them. Zu An wondered, "This is something from ancient times. Is there any point in me doing all this?"
If their fate is already sealed, even if I save them, they will still die;
But if they didn't die because of my intervention, wouldn't that count as changing history?
Will this have any impact on future generations?
Zaun had watched a lot of time-travel dramas on Earth before, and it seemed that any point involving changing history was extremely dangerous, and could even cause the protagonist of the future to no longer exist, etc.
These two guards are nothing special; they probably aren't that important to history.
But the Mermaid Queen is absolutely crucial. If her fate is changed because of me, will it affect the Shang Liuyu sisters in later generations?
Thinking about this, he regretted not asking the historian about this matter earlier.
He tried to ask Mi Li, but Mi Li seemed to still be asleep and did not respond at all.
Thinking of the Mermaid Queen's sincerity, Zaun sighed, hoping that the Mermaid Queen could escape successfully.
If there is real danger, rescue is definitely necessary, but to be on the safe side, one must never appear in their original form or identity.
Without further hesitation, he once again slipped into the Four Directions Hall.
Meanwhile, the Mermaid Queen cautiously approached the main hall. She closed her eyes and sensed the surroundings, but couldn't help feeling puzzled. She couldn't detect any strong magical fluctuations in the water. Could it be that the evil ritual had already ended?
This time, facing the infamous King of Adultery, she dared not use the Deep Sea Harp.
The Deep Sea Harp might be able to hypnotize those demons, but it definitely won't be able to hypnotize the King of Incest; on the contrary, it will only alert him prematurely.
She held her breath and walked around to a secluded window, took out a small mirror and carefully placed it on the window. The scene in the room quickly appeared on the mirror.
To her surprise, there was no adulterous king in the room, nor even any demons.
"Huh?" The mermaid queen was greatly surprised.
She gently pushed open the window and slipped inside.
Sure enough, it was empty.
She searched inside for a while and finally stopped in front of the main hall in the middle.
There were lingering traces of Princess Peacock's aura here. The water-based magic fluctuations she left behind when she healed her might not be noticeable to others, but she could keenly sense them.
Her gaze fell on a nine-pointed star pattern on the ground. Besides the fluctuations of her own water-based magic, there was also an evil aura emanating from it.
Thinking of what those two demons had just said, she felt a chill in her heart, as if that evil ritual had already been completed.
Has Princess Peacock already been sacrificed?
She planned to go out and find out where Mogard was from other demons, and maybe she would find out the whereabouts of Princess Peacock.
But as soon as he reached the door, he suddenly froze and started backing away step by step.
"What kind of day is it today? Why are so many people risking their lives?" Moghad slowly walked in from outside, staring at her with a gloomy expression.
He had just returned from running errands when he was shocked to find someone had sneaked into his room.
Alarm bells rang in the mermaid queen's mind, and she casually unleashed several water arrows that shot towards the opponent.
Those water arrows looked crystal clear, but each one was as powerful as a siege crossbow.
"Hmm, this is interesting." Morgard was somewhat surprised; this assassin seemed to be stronger than he had anticipated.
