As usual, Tianning took out the documents from the Gongsun family and handed them to the guards of the merfolk.
After glancing at it to confirm it was correct, the other person asked with extreme disgust, "Gongsun family, what are you doing here?"
"Unless you have something to say, you can only stay in Mermaid City for one hour. After that, get out, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
Tianning said, "Find someone."
Since it's impossible to throw copper coins underwater to determine where to look for someone, and to confirm whether the person has been here before, Tianning, after describing Tao Tao and her senior brothers and sisters' characteristics, paid attention to the guards' expressions.
Upon hearing this, the guard immediately abandoned any intention of letting her in and tried to drive her away.
Before Tianning could say anything more, a series of loud noises suddenly came from the other side of Mermaid City. The noise was so great that it shook the entire seabed!
what happened?
Clearly, the merman guard in front of him was also unaware of what was going on, and he warned Tianning to leave immediately!
Because the barrier hadn't been opened to let Tianning in, the mermaid guard ignored Tianning after speaking and hurriedly rushed to the place where the incident had occurred.
He thought that if he didn't let him through, Tian Ning wouldn't be able to get in. After all, this formation was personally set up by the Heavenly Weeping Immortal Venerable, protecting the mermaid race for over a hundred years.
But he never expected that after he left, Tian Ning would raise his fist and smash a large hole in the formation with two loud thuds.
Considering the mermaids' situation and to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the large hole, Tianning spent some time patching it up before heading to the scene of the accident.
The commotion drew all the mermaids in Mermaid City to gather and fight. Tianning was just about to ask which guy was so fierce, openly causing trouble on someone else's turf.
If this matter were to reach Tianqi, he would not be spared. After all, on the surface, the Merfolk are still protected by Tianqi, and even the ten great families of the Western Continent only dare to make small moves in secret.
When Tianning arrived at the destination, he saw Taotie fighting with a group of mermaids.
Tianning: "..."
"Tao Tao!"
Taotie had almost finished fighting and was about to go find Fu Hongming and the others when he heard Tian Ning's voice and stopped in his tracks. He exclaimed in surprise, "You brat, you've successfully broken through!"
They had originally planned to go find her, but she came to them first.
Although Tianning used a disguise pill, Taotie itself doesn't recognize people by their appearance.
The two met and immediately inquired about each other's situation.
Taotie swatted away the mermaid in front of it with a palm strike, glanced at Tian Ning's current cultivation level, and said, "Not bad! Your realm is quite stable. For your age and cultivation level, as a chosen one, you are barely qualified."
Tianning: "..."
"Where are my senior brothers and sisters? Are they alright?" Tianning didn't see anyone else.
As she was asking the question, several more mermaids rushed up to attack. Tianning took out a handful of defensive talismans from her mustard seed bag and threw them out.
"Nothing's wrong with me, just a ton of messy stuff." Recalling the adventures along the way, Taotie couldn't help but complain, "If I'd known there were so many messy things on this Western Continent, I wouldn't have flown here in the first place!"
Tianning asked, "What happened?"
A group of mermaids gathered around, and after they finally finished using the defensive talisman, Tianning casually took out another one.
Mermaids: "..."
"Ugh, don't even mention it!" Taotie complained, "These people from the Western Continent are all no good. They just come up and grab people. I wanted to teach them a lesson, but your senior brothers and sisters were cowards and wouldn't let me go. They insisted on obediently locking me up in the dungeon and waiting for someone to ransom me."
"Then we ran into three guys who were watching a show. They were enjoying themselves when suddenly a group of people came and tried to kill them. Since we had seen it, we decided to silence them as well."
Tianning: "..."
It seems like everyone was quite anxious along the way.
Mermaids: "..."
Wait, how come you two are chatting?
Please show some respect that this is their territory, okay?!
The merfolk were furious, and in their rage, they smashed the defensive barrier even harder!
In response, Tianning added two more rounds.
Mermaids: "..."
Taotie didn't think anything was wrong and continued, "Later, we planned to find a place to lay low until you broke through and then leave this place. Someone suggested we hide here, and everything was fine at first. But then that guy went crazy and insisted on investigating something. Apparently, he found something he couldn't tell anyone, and the mermaids went mad and wanted to silence him."
“I just told Fu Hongming and the other guys to go up first, and I stayed behind to cover their retreat. I was just about to go up when I heard you calling me…”
I see.
Tianning roughly understood what Taotie and his group had been through these past few days. In general, it was good that everyone was safe and sound. The most important thing now was to reunite and leave.
There is something strange about this mermaid clan, but since Long Han is here, let him investigate on his own.
Tianning and Taotie then decided to go ashore and let these mermaids beat them, since she had enough talismans anyway.
Before they even started swimming, a voice called out from behind, "Fellow Daoist, wait! We've been through thick and thin together; you can't leave us here!"
Tianning saw a disheveled mermaid dragging an injured male cultivator along.
Taotie was furious when it saw the person: "Oh, what a mess! If it weren't for her and the other two 'funnis,' there wouldn't be so much trouble!"
