Chapter 34: Fighting without bloodshed
Just as Xi'er was filled with righteous indignation, she overheard the conversation between the two blue demons.
"Brother, why do you think the Endless Lords would bring these stupid sea beasts along when they rebelled?"
"You don't understand, do you? Although the Endless Sea under the jurisdiction of the Endless Lord has more than 500,000 people, if they were to face the millions of elite demons in the Great Abyss Sea, they would definitely still be no match."
Despite contacting more than a dozen minor lords in the surrounding area, he still wasn't entirely confident.
Just after the massive earthquake, an underground river was unearthed in the Endless Sea, connecting it to a hidden sea area thousands of miles away—the Lost Sea.
The Lost Sea was once the territory of the Fine Demon Clan, but unfortunately, the vast majority of the Fine Demons there have died, and the only remaining small group has fallen into slumber.
Today, the Lost Sea has been taken over by sea monsters and become their territory.
Most sea creatures are clumsy and stupid before they transform into human form. It is said that the most powerful high-level sea creature there is a Thousand-Threaded Jellyfish.
Several months ago, the jellyfish with its thousand threads unexpectedly gained a chance, transformed into human form, and then left. Now, no one knows where it went.
After the Thousand-Threaded Jellyfish left, the sea creatures of the Gleaner Sea were leaderless.
The Endless Lord seized the opportunity to forcefully suppress the rebellion and subdue the sea beasts, making them join the uprising.
In fact, the benefits that the Endless Lord promised to those sea beasts were all a deception, intended to send them as the vanguard of a rebellion.
Once the rebellion succeeds, these sea beasts will surely be tamed into slaves by the new high priest and used as laborers.
When resources are scarce, they become food.
Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. Even our own kind can betray us, let alone these stupid sea beasts.
The Endless Lords are merely using them; they will not actually share in the spoils of victory.
Fusheng, who had been carrying Xi'er and Ruomeng alongside the two gossipy blue demons, was speechless after overhearing their conversation.
Unexpectedly, these sea creatures were all fellow villagers of the Spirit Lamp. Although they were not of the same species, they were still considered the Spirit Lamp's neighbors.
When Lingdeng left the Sea of Lost Treasures, she left in a hurry and didn't arrange a successor. As a result, as soon as she left, these sea beasts were taken in and used as tools.
In this emergency, Xi'er didn't have time to worry about the cost of the teleportation talisman. After Fusheng confirmed the direction of their return, she used a long-distance teleportation talisman that could teleport them 500 miles away.
After the talismanic light dissipated, the three of them had arrived near the Great Abyss Sea.
After hearing Xi'er's report, the High Priest once again confirmed that the young master was a person with great fortune; otherwise, how could he have encountered rebels just by going out for a stroll?
Never before in the history of the Dust Continent has such a dire situation occurred.
After all, each high priest is repeatedly examined by the previous high priest and approved by at least fifty purple demons. Only those whose combat strength and character are convincing can take over the position of high priest.
Before meeting Xi'er, the High Priest had several candidates in mind, but ultimately, for various reasons, he was unable to make up his mind to confirm the final choice.
Until Xi'er appeared, the High Priest felt that she was a gift from heaven, and that she was the one who could bring glory to the Ximo Clan.
However, before his chosen successor could mature, a rebel emerged.
The high priest was furious.
The Dust Continent is so desolate that the people are barely surviving, yet some are still plotting internal strife.
Aren't they afraid that civil war will only make matters worse, and that their people may eventually perish?
The situation was urgent, and the High Priest issued an emergency summons, gathering the thirty-six Purple Demons stationed around the Great Abyss Sea to discuss a grand plan to suppress the rebels.
After Xi'er relayed the message to the High Priest, she went to find her brother.
"Big brother, this is what happened. Please help me think of a way to help Grandpa Ling."
The little girl held her brother's hand, and a rare look of worry and anxiety appeared in her pure eyes.
“We definitely can’t handle this on our own; we need to find someone to help us,” Achen said.
"You mean, I should ask my parents for help?" Xi'er asked, but she really didn't want to trouble them.
Ah Chen naturally understood her thoughts; in fact, he also didn't want to trouble his parents with everything.
He was already over sixteen years old, and he felt that he should be able to stand on his own two feet.
"We don't have to ask them for help, but we need to borrow at least three people: Uncle Bo, Aunt Mina, and Uncle Matt."
Uncle Bo is skilled in concocting poisons and has excellent medical skills. With him providing logistical support, we don't need to worry even if we get injured.
Aunt Mina's tornadoes are so fast that almost no one can match them. They are convenient for surprise attacks and can also help everyone escape in critical moments.
As for Uncle Matt, his psychic abilities are powerful enough that he is the strongest in both gathering information and launching soul attacks.
With the three of them, plus ourselves, we're sure to find that Endless Lord and take him down before he openly rebels.
With the rebels leaderless, you, the Goddess Bai Xi, can seize the opportunity to perform a miracle and purify a stretch of seawater for them. The people who followed him in the rebellion will likely be defeated.
Then Aunt Lingdeng intervened and persuaded the sea creatures of the Lost Sea who had participated in the rebellion to leave, and sent them back to their homeland.
"In this way, we can most likely stop the rebellion without bloodshed. This is the best solution I can think of," said Achen.
"Wow! Big brother, you're so smart!" Xi'er rushed over and gave him a bear hug, then ran off to call for backup.
