Fortunately, fate was on her side; her mark card did not expire. With Qingfeng's help, she passed through the barrier and headed straight for the underwater palace. Of course, to destroy the Mermaid King's exclusive ritual, she needed to be fully prepared.
Having had the experience of destroying a ritual once, Shen Jue was 70% confident in destroying the next one; the remaining 30% was left to chance.
Doing something like this on someone else's home turf is definitely risky. Everything needs to be considered carefully. To be on the safe side, she went alone this time to destroy the ritual.
Even if she encounters danger, she can immediately return to the raft.
However, when Shen Jue made this decision, he faced strong opposition from Hei Chen.
Hei Chen disagreed with Chen Jue's idea; the Mermaid King was his enemy, and he wanted revenge.
But Shen Jue's words made Hei Chen behave!
After all, Shen Jue wasn't wrong. With Hei Chen's current strength, let alone seeking revenge against the Mermaid King, he couldn't even defeat the lowest-ranking palace guards. Revenge also depends on the timing; it's not that he won't seek revenge, but that the time hasn't come yet.
Finally, Shen Jue persuaded Hei Chen to enter the pet house, thus resolving another of Hei Chen's doubts.
No wonder Qingfeng, Lili, and Qiuqiu were able to appear next to Shen Jue in an instant; it turns out Shen Jue had such a good thing in his hands.
Upon entering the pet house, Hei Chen encountered Qing Feng, Li Li, and Qiu Qiu. Although they weren't human, Hei Chen could still see a mocking expression on their faces.
Lili: "Big guy, I told you so, I knew he'd come in."
Qingfeng: "Yeah, Ali is awesome!"
Qiuqiu: "Sister Ali is so amazing!"
Lili was very pleased with her two companions' praise. "Of course, Sister Xiaojue is very capable. That guy is still not giving up and still wants to disrupt Sister Xiaojue's plans."
Darkness: ......
It seems that ever since he met Shen Jue, this human, the dragon who used to be so boastful has gradually become silent.
Shen Jue and the mythical beast beside her are both strange; it's hard to tell if they're not smart enough. Although I don't want to admit it, Shen Jue is right.
With his current strength, facing the Mermaid King would be certain death.
Shen Jue protected him not for any other reason than that he would be working for her for another three years. In Shen Jue's words, it wouldn't matter if he died, but Shen Jue felt sorry for her high-level temporary contract. She had been collecting such useful items for so long and had only managed to get a few, so she couldn't let them go to waste.
When Hei Chen heard this explanation, he got angry for a moment. What else could he do?
He entered the pet house, but even inside, he could see everything outside, everything Shen Jue encountered.
Shen Jue had already reached the underwater palace, but what Hei Chen couldn't understand was why the merfolk pretended not to see her when she had clearly swum right under their noses.
Hei Chen didn't know, nor did he want to ask Qing Feng and the others. Rather than asking others, he preferred to figure it out himself.
Having been around for so long, Hei Chen still lacked experience; he didn't know that the ability to become invisible existed in this world.
After he figured out that Shen Jue might possess a special ability, Hei Chen's gaze towards Shen Jue changed.
Meanwhile, Shen Jue had successfully reached the secret room.
Skillfully breaking through the passage in the wall, they arrived at the lowest level.
Inside the crystal coffin at the bottom, the furnishings are exactly the same as last time. It seems that the Mermaid King did not come here after she left last time. Otherwise, the Mermaid King would have discovered that the remains of all the Mermaid Kings of the past had disappeared.
Apart from this crystal coffin, everything else that could be taken away was taken by Shen Jue.
Following the instructions in the annotations, Shen Jue lit up the ritual step by step, and then broke it little by little.
Without any commotion, the ceremony was ruined just like that.
[Successfully disrupted the ritual, mission progress +5%, mission progress 100%.]
[Hidden side quest completed - Obtained a treasure map of the Merfolk's treasure.]
(Return to the raft.)
Mission accomplished, time to retire gracefully.
It was several months later when the Merman King discovered the ritual had been destroyed but still couldn't find the culprit.
