The earthquake trembled.
The entire Jiangnan region was instantly engulfed by a surging tide!
Shen Zhiyi lay on the merchant ship, nearly vomiting from the violent rocking of the vessel.
What happened...?
"Run! The seawater is flooding in!"
"Our ship has been pushed back!"
"Get ashore quickly!"
The people on the ship were all running away frantically.
Shen Zhiyi was swept along by the crowd and soon reached a high point on the shore.
Everyone huddled together, shivering.
Dark clouds obscured the sun.
The people in the city also fled for their lives, all crowding towards higher ground.
People were surprised to find that several large open spaces, seemingly deliberately bypassed by the water flow, appeared exceptionally safe.
"Go there!"
"The water won't reach that area!"
Soon, everyone rushed over in a huge swarm.
"Mermaids! Mermaids!"
Someone pointed to the sky and cried out in surprise.
Everyone turned their gazes to each other.
In mid-air.
A handsome man, as if from another god, with his body and face magnified several times, his silver hair flowing freely, his upper body naked, his muscles strong and his lines perfect, as if sculpted by a god, was coldly and extremely oppressively looking down at the ground.
It looked like they were searching for something.
The long, slender fish tail swam in the towering waves, each movement creating a violent surge.
It's Qingyuan!
Shen Zhiyi's blood seemed to freeze into ice.
She put on a veil and huddled in the crowd, trying her best to make herself inconspicuous.
Li Zhiyin was captured by the Taoist priest and hidden behind a pavilion under the eaves.
He was both shocked and furious.
But more than anything, it was fear.
A deep fear.
This person actually managed to break free from the chained cage!
Just how terrifying is this power?
He grasped the Taoist priest's hand, trembling, and said, "Master, please take a look at this talisman. Why is it ineffective?"
"This is clearly an heirloom of my Li family!"
"It's impossible for a decision to be useless!"
The Taoist priest, still in shock at the broken dragon-locking cage, heard Li Zhiyin's words, took the talisman, and was immediately horrified.
"This talisman has been tampered with!"
"It's completely ineffective now!"
Li Zhiyin swayed and almost lost his balance.
"how so……"
He grabbed the Taoist priest like a lifeline, pleading, "Then you'd better think of something quickly!"
The Li family and the merfolk have a century-long feud.
He just used a talisman on him.
If we don't find a way to capture this merman, we'll definitely kill him once he comes to his senses!
We must strike first!
"I'll give you silver, no... I'll give you endless riches and glory!"
Li Zhiyin knew that the Taoist priest was greedy and cowardly. A glint of cunning flashed in his eyes as he threatened, "But if you don't find a way to subdue this mermaid, I will cut off your head and report back to the Imperial Concubine!"
The Taoist priest was indeed afraid.
He took out a demon-slaying sword.
Forming a hand seal.
The sword suddenly pierced towards Qingyuan!
"This sword is the culmination of my life's work."
"Demon, prepare to die!"
Qingyuan had fallen into despair.
No……
There isn't anywhere...
"Why...why can't I find it..."
The overwhelming darkness completely engulfed him.
The Demon-Slaying Sword flew into the air.
A beam of intense red light condensed, enveloping the sword, and plunged fiercely into Qingyuan's body!
He let out a roar that shook the entire world!
His eyes were bloodshot. He drew his long sword and stabbed it into the Taoist's chest with a backhand motion!
The dark blue scales shimmered.
The bleeding wound instantly healed.
On the other hand, the Taoist priest, pierced by his own demon-slaying sword, screamed in agony and turned into dust, scattering into the air.
Li Zhiyin stared blankly.
My fear reached its peak.
He looked up and met Qingyuan's gaze.
An ancient and imposing sense of oppression enveloped his entire body in an instant, freezing him in place, unable to move an inch.
"Don't kill me...don't kill me..." he murmured, his face pale and his lips trembling.
Qingyuan's cold eyes were filled with anger, which he fiercely suppressed.
It's all because of this person.
And then there's that imperial concubine far away in the palace.
If they hadn't come to invade, Qingqing wouldn't have left him...
It's all because of them!
Overwhelmed by boundless rage, Qingyuan suddenly reached out and crushed Li Zhiyin with a single palm strike!
The blood mist dissipated.
It was instantly washed clean by the seawater.
It was as if he had merely crushed an ant.
A powerful true form materialized in the dream.
It flew into the distant palace walls.
In the palace, the imperial concubine was taking a nap in the afternoon.
Just a moment later.
She screamed and woke up from her dream in a cold sweat!
"No! Don't come any closer!"
The elegant and noble imperial concubine seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying in her dream.
Her hair was disheveled, and her body trembled as she fell off the soft couch.
"Help...help!"
"Someone save me!" The imperial concubine cried out, her expression crazed, as she crawled limply out of the room. "It's the mermaids... the mermaids have come for revenge!"
"Help me..."
A peaceful afternoon, with a gentle breeze.
The imperial concubine, however, felt as if she had fallen into a fiery abyss, being scorched by lava, and let out painful moans with a ferocious expression.
When Nianchu heard the word "mermaid" outside the door, she was instantly terrified.
She rushed in, saw the imperial concubine's appearance, and understood everything.
It is Qingyuan.
He entered the imperial concubine's dream with his singing!
No one knew better than her that his singing could evoke the deepest fears in people's hearts.
It can drive people crazy in an instant!
She suppressed the fleeting elation in her eyes, feigned concern, and rushed over to help the concubine up from the ground.
