At the moment when the giant ancestor fell, the undead chief flashed and raised his translucent whip to whip the Demon Lord Zhan Sen!
Zhan Sen's face turned pale, his eyes became even more sinister, and he groaned in pain.
This is the soul whip!
The Demon Lord Zhan Sen was furious and once again engaged in a fierce battle with the other six people. This time, the sky turned dark.
The pirates and cultivators who were watching witnessed this scene. Some were shocked, some felt compassion, some admired and respected, some were angry, and some were filled with grief...
Yun Zheng frowned slightly. The Demon Lord Zhan Sen was too strong. Even the top leaders of the eight major races could not defeat him together!
If he still existed...
When Yun Zheng thought of this, her pupils suddenly shrank and she had some guesses in her heart.
It is rumored that more than a hundred years ago, in the great war to slay demons, representatives of the eight major races joined forces to kill the Demon Lord Zhan Sen on the Two-Sided Island!
She suppressed her speculation and continued to wait and see.
Another day passed, and the Mermaid King was killed in a tragic manner by the Demon Lord.
The Demon Lord Zhan Sen was not much better off. His right arm was cut off and he gradually fell into a disadvantage.
At this moment, all the demons were wiped out by the eight major races.
The corpses almost filled the entire double-sided island, and broken limbs and debris floated on the sea, dyeing the entire sea area red.
Zhongli Wuyuan frowned and said, "Now, only Demon Lord Zhan Sen is left."
About an hour later.
The Demon Lord Zhan Sen was finally beheaded by the five remaining bosses.
Almost no one noticed that a wisp of black fog was moving rapidly towards the bottom of the sea.
Yun Zheng saw it with her bloodshot eyes.
"We defeated the demons!" Cheers came from the eight major races after their victory.
“We did it…”
Some people knelt on the ground with tears streaming down their faces, feeling more sad than happy, because... almost all of their fellow tribesmen and friends had died.
"Rest in peace, my king!"
"Ancestor, rest in peace!"
"Chief, rest in peace!"
The deaths of the mermaid king Canglanjin, the giant ancestor, and the demon clan leader brought great trauma and grief to the three clans.
Finally, the leader of the Shen Ye Sect ordered the corpses of the demons piled on the two-sided island to be burned to death.
The eight major races and others went down to the bottom of the sea to look for the bodies of their people.
But what was strange was that they searched for a long time but could not find the body of the Mermaid King.
The Elf Chief frowned and said to the other four, "I sense something is amiss in the waters off the Double-Faced Island. If left unchecked, it could lead to disaster."
Upon hearing this, the four leaders of the Shen Ye Sect looked at each other thoughtfully.
The elves are very good at seeking benefits and avoiding harm.
The leader of the Shen Ye Sect nodded and said, "Then let's seal off the entire sea area together, except for the two islands on both sides. After all, we still need to leave a road leading to both sides."
"good!"
The scene changed, and the five of them were seen floating above the sea. At the same time, they gathered the power of restriction and sealed off the deep sea layer by layer.
The illusion scene ends here.
When Yun Zheng opened her eyes again, she was deep under the sea, with dense crowds of pirates, cultivators and others behind her.
On her left stood Zhongli Wuyuan, and on her right stood an old man with a scar on his face, Captain Zuo Feng, and Yuan Haocang, the leader of the Night Killing Pirates.
"Where is this place?!"
Yun Zheng and others looked up and saw two...remnant souls standing not far ahead.
Everyone: “?!!”
"This is the Mermaid King! And..."
Yun Zheng's gaze fell on the nearly transparent soul of the beautiful mermaid, and she added, "Lord Xun Lin."
A gentle and quiet smile appeared on Xunlin's beautiful face.
The Mermaid King said slowly, "As you can see, we are both just a remnant of consciousness. Because we perished over a hundred years ago..."
"We created this large-scale illusion because we want you to witness the great demon-slaying war that took place over a hundred years ago. We want you to clearly understand the threat that Demon Lord Zhan Sen posed to the Holy Ruins!"
After a pause, the Mermaid King said with a slightly dark look in his eyes, "...Zhan Sen didn't die back then."
When these words were spoken, almost everyone was shocked.
"How is this possible?!" someone asked in surprise.
"I saw him die with my own eyes!"
The Mermaid King shook his head and sighed solemnly, "Although Zhan Sen died, he left a trace of his spirit in the forbidden sea area."
"Because I am a member of the sea race, I was able to retain some consciousness when I fell to the bottom of the sea. When I discovered the soul of Demon Lord Zhan Sen, I wanted to destroy him. However, my remaining consciousness was not strong enough, and I was injured by him instead."
"Later, I hid myself in the forbidden area of the sea..."
"However, I can only watch helplessly as his spirit devours the souls of those who trespass into the forbidden area, and then grows stronger day by day."
At this point, the Mermaid King glared at Yuan Haocang fiercely, his expression more serious than ever before. He coldly scolded him, "You sent thousands of cultivators into the forbidden area, where they were devoured by the Demon Lord Zhansen, and then allowed him to escape from the forbidden area. What crime... should you be punished for?!"
Yuan Haocang was suddenly shocked.
At this moment, the old man next to him summoned a long sword and stabbed it into Yuan Haocang's heart with lightning speed.
"Sizzle—"
The old man Zuo Feng quickly drew back his sword.
The crowd was in an uproar.
Yuan Haocang's eyes were as big as copper bells. He covered his bleeding chest and looked at Zuo Feng with his eyes wide open.
As a result, a sword shadow flashed by, and a bloody mark appeared on his neck.
Yuan Haocang fell down with his eyes open.
The pirates of the Night Killing Pirates were terrified. Their leader had died just like that...
Zuo Feng retracted his sword and solemnly bowed to the Mermaid King, "Thank you, Senior, for helping me kill this evil Yuan Haocang!"
The Mermaid King nodded, looked at him and said, "Zuo Feng, I saved you and gave you the chance to kill your enemy. So, it's time for you to keep your promise."
Zuo Feng's face became more serious. "I will inform the eight major races of the return of Demon Lord Zhan Sen, and have them prepare to annihilate Demon Lord Zhan Sen once again."
"We, the Wudao Group, will track the whereabouts of Demon Lord Zhansen at all times."
The Mermaid King nodded with satisfaction.
The Mermaid King looked at the others and said, "I hope you will always remember the horror of the demons' arrival, because the appearance of the demons means the beginning of war."
"Be sure to be wary of the Demon Lord Zhan Sen! Remember, remember..."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a cloud of uncertainty descend upon their hearts. Would the Demon Lord Zhan Sen really... appear in the Holy Ruins again?!
Before everyone could react, they were back on the double-sided island in the blink of an eye, still maintaining their previous movements.
Everything that just happened seemed like a dream.
If Captain Zuo Feng hadn't returned, they would have really thought it was a dream.
"Hey, where's the young island master?"
"That unremarkable young man in white is gone too!"
