Qin Xiyao and Qin Han, who were hiding in the secret passage, began to try to open the door of the secret passage and return the same way after hearing the footsteps gradually moving away.
However, the secret passage door in the Shadow Temple was designed in a very strange way: after entering the secret passage, if the door closed automatically, you could no longer return the same way and could only find another exit.
"Eldest sister! We can't get out! Are we going to be trapped inside?"
Qin Han panicked instantly when he saw that he and Qin Xiyao were trapped inside and unable to return the same way.
"Don't be afraid, Han'er! I will get you out of here safely!"
Qin Xiyao took out the communication device from the Qiankun Ring and turned on the flashlight function. Suddenly, a ray of light appeared in the dark passage.
She walked forward with Qin Han.
There were no special obstacles along the way.
An hour later, she and Qin Han heard the mermaids talking.
"Your Majesty! I haven't found Jiaohan's daughter!"
A steady male voice came from next door.
"If you can't even do this, what use do I have for you?"
The woman's voice was not loud, but it gave people a sense of majesty without being angry.
"I am incompetent! I followed the clues you provided and went to Zhuoyong Lake to look for Jiaohan's daughter."
"I searched the entire lake. If I hadn't found it, it might have been captured and eaten by humans!"
After a moment of silence next door, the voice of the mermaid was heard again:
"That's better! Otherwise, you know!"
As soon as the female mermaid finished speaking, the male mermaid's voice was heard.
"I am only acting in accordance with Her Majesty's wishes and would never dare to deceive you!"
After another moment of silence, the mermaid's voice was heard again:
"It's not that I'm cruel and ruthless, but I can't let Jiao Han's daughter stay. Otherwise, if things go wrong, you and I will both die!"
"I understand!"
Not long after the male mermaid's voice was heard, Qin Xiyao and Qin Han heard indescribable sounds coming from next door.
Qin Han was young after all and didn't understand human affairs, so he asked Qin Xiyao:
"Sister! What's that sound?"
Qin Xiyao hurriedly covered Qin Han's mouth with her hands:
"Han'er! Keep your voice down! I don't know what that sound is."
Qin Han was fooled by Qin Xiyao's white lie, and was afraid that the mermaid next door would know that he and his sister were hiding here at the moment!
The mermaid kidnapped him and his sister!
Only after the panting sounds from next door stopped did Qin Xiyao open the door to the secret passage on the other side and leave with Qin Han.
They now arrived at the Mermaid Palace.
The Mermaid Palace is located in the deep sea of the Eternal Ruins Sea. She knows the water-avoiding technique and can move freely in the Mermaid Palace. But what about Qin Han?
How could he, a pseudo-spiritual root at the second stage of Jindan, move freely in the Mermaid Palace?
Thinking of this, Qin Xiyao took out the black inner elixir given to her by Jiao Man from the Qiankun Ring.
"Han'er! Put this in your mouth, and you won't be afraid of water anymore!"
Qin Xiyao handed the black inner elixir to Qin Han, and Qin Han obediently put the black inner elixir in his mouth.
"Thank you, elder sister!"
Qin Han thanked Qin Xiyao.
At this moment, the queen of the mermaid tribe and the male bodyguard just now walked out of the queen's bedroom one after another.
Seeing this, Qin Xiyao hurriedly used the invisibility spell to make herself and Qin Han invisible until the mermaid queen and her personal guards passed by them.
Qin Xiyao just removed the invisibility spell!
Taking Qin Han, he walked in another direction.
Now that she had arrived at the Mermaid Palace, Qin Xiyao had no intention of leaving empty-handed!
It is said that the tears of mermaids can turn into pearls. Ordinary pearls can be sold on Lantao.com for about 10,000 K coins each. As for the expensive ones, it depends on the quality!
The Mermaid Queen had just left the palace with her personal guards. Qin Xiyao wanted to know what treasures were hidden in the Mermaid Queen's palace, so she transformed Qin Han into the appearance of the Mermaid Queen's personal male guard, and she herself transformed into the appearance of the Mermaid Queen.
With the outfits they wore, as long as they didn't meet the real boss, the guards in the palace wouldn't be suspicious if they walked around the Mermaid Palace openly.
Qin Xiyao knew the Five Elements Escape Technique and took Qin Han directly into the mermaid queen's bedroom, without even having to open the door.
The Mermaid Queen's bedroom is located in a deep underwater cave, surrounded by various strange marine creatures and coral reefs.
The interior of the bedroom is decorated with many pearls, shells, and other precious underwater treasures, highlighting the queen's dignity and power.
Various mechanisms and traps were set up near the entrance to the bedroom to protect the queen's safety.
These mechanisms and traps are hidden in the floor and in shells.
There are pearls hidden in the shells. Once they accidentally touch the mechanism or trap, they will release powerful energy and attract a large number of dangerous creatures.
These creatures will actively attack intruders.
However, Qin Xiyao used the Nine-Light Purple Eyes to cleverly avoid the mechanisms and traps and took away the pearl from the shell!
As for the treasure, it is hidden in a secret compartment on the cave wall.
The moment Qin Xiyao pressed the mechanism, the secret compartment hidden in the cave opened automatically, and the white mermaid pearl and the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover hidden inside were revealed.
Qin Xiyao used her Nine-Light Purple Eyes to check and after confirming that there was no trap in the secret compartment, she calmly took out the Mermaid Pearl and the Nine-Dragon Divine Fire Cover from the secret compartment.
The white mermaid pearl is a symbol of the Mermaid Queen's royal power. It can be used as a magic weapon to attack the enemy. Once the white mermaid pearl concentrates on the enemy, the whole body will become limp, the magic will be lost, and the attacker will be confused. Qin Xiyao took it away. I wonder what impact it will have on the Mermaid Queen!
As for the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, it is one of the Seven Treasures of Yuxu. It can summon nine divine dragons and spew out extremely powerful Samadhi True Fire, which can break the Ten Absolute Formations.
With them in hand, it would be quite easy for Qin Xiyao and Qin Han to escape from the Mermaid Palace!
Qin Xiyao had just put the white mermaid pearl and the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover into the Qiankun Ring when she heard the footsteps of the mermaid queen and her personal guards outside the cave.
In order to prevent being caught, Qin Xiyao took Qin Han and hid behind the door of the cave. When the people outside the cave opened the door, Qin Xiyao used invisibility and quietly left the cave with Qin Han.
But Qin Han, this little brat, was accompanying Qin Xiyao to commit a crime for the first time and had never seen such a scene before. He saw the personal guard of the mermaid queen slashing the sword in his hand over his head.
"Plop!" As he dodged, his legs went soft and he fell with a dull thud.
"Who is hiding in my bedroom? Come out quickly!"
The mermaid queen was startled by the sudden sound.
Seeing this, Qin Xiyao hurriedly helped Qin Han, who was lying on the ground, up and took him away.
Due to her level of cultivation, her invisibility can only last for half an hour at most if she is alone.
If Qin Han, that little brat, is included, it can only last for twenty minutes at most.
If Qin Han is not pulled away at this moment, he will most likely not be able to escape!
