AST 1584 - 100 Black Scales Mermen Slayers, Betrayal, Sunset Palace’s Arrival (2/2)
Great Strength Increment could raise endurance as well as explosive strength. This was the reason Qing Shui wanted to use this Great Strength Increment cultivation art. Even low-level cultivation arts had their own benefits. For example, they were easy to cultivate. As for legend grade or divine grade cultivation arts, some cultivators couldn’t even make sense of them.
As Qing Shui was training the Black Scales Mermen, Muyun Qingge and Yiye Jiange were also cultivating. Besides the sentinels of Sea King’s Palace, all the others were cultivating.
As for Qing Shui, the Black Scales Mermen didn’t view him as just the Guardian of the Sea King’s Palace, they had already began to address him respectfully as ‘Teacher’.
‘Teacher’ was different from ‘Master’; only when a person felt that they didn’t possess the qualifications to become a disciple or the person giving guidance wasn’t accepting disciples did they use the address of ‘Teacher’.
Qing Shui had declined it several times in the beginning but there was no effect, so he let them do as they wished.
The matter of Qing Shui instructing these Black Scales Mermen in this location was quite secretive. Besides a small number of people, none of the others knew about this. The Sea King’s Palace had recovered its past serenity. Only a few of them knew that trouble would find the Sea King’s Palace soon, but most of them didn’t know anything and lived their lives even happier than before as they had finally beat back the Sea Dragon Palace and the Vicious Shark Palace. Just like how everybody in Qing Shui’s original world wished for their country to be rich and powerful, everyone here wanted the same, as only then could the safety of the people be ensured.
The reason Qing Shui was doing all of this was because of Yiye Jiange and that he was also considered to be Muyun Qingge’s friend. He’d help for the sake of Yiye Jiange.
After a week, Qing Shui and the two women were discussing matters. The Black Scales Mermen were already walking on the right track. They had entered into the right mood in this one week. At this time, a Merman entered inside in a frantic mood, “The Black Demon Mermen are rebelling.”
Muyun Qingge stood up after a while, but her complexion recovered its calm, “Alright. You can leave.”
Qing Shui could make out that this affair was a little troublesome from her face. The Sea King’s Domain was quite large and some of the powers belonging to the Sea King’s Palace only received protection yet never worked for the Sea King’s Palace. The Black Demon Mermen was a powerful tribe among them.
Each and every tribe capable of doing this were tribes that could compete on equal terms with the Sea King’s Palace. They didn’t want to become underlings of other powers. They developed themselves under the Sea King’s Palace’s wings, but they never exerted any strength to help the Sea King’s Palace.
“The Sunset Palace must’ve come.” Muyun Qingge sighed.
Qing Shui also felt the same or else there wouldn’t have been a reason for the Black Demon Mermen to have rebelled. Though they were powerful, they wouldn’t have made such a decision under the current circumstances.
“It was going to happen sooner or later. It’s better if they come early. This is just the beginning. Let’s see how many of them have good faith towards the Sea King’s Palace.
Qing Shui was just about to say something when that Merman entered again, “Palace Master, The Shark Wolf Tribe has defected!”
Muyun Qingge was still calm, “Understood. Keep me updated about the circumstances.”
Qing Shui looked at Muyun Qingge with a smile, “Do you feel it’s hard?”
Yiye Jiange laughed, “Those who wish to stay wouldn’t leave and those who wish to go wouldn’t stay. Their staying behind is also harmful.”
Muyun Qingge nodded, “I’ll move on. I’d instead feel happy if all of them left. I can then dissolve the Sea King’s Palace, which would reduce my heart’s trouble.”
“There’s no need to be so negative. The Sea King’s Palace leads several billion organisms and only a few of them are leaving.”
After that, the merman reported a total of ten times. Out of the tribes the Sea King’s Palace controlled, ten of them had declared independence. It quietened down after that.
But they knew that this was just temporary. These independent tribes didn’t need to do anything. If their guesses were right, the Sunset Palace would make them act as the vanguard and turn these former comrades into enemies. This scene would be quite shocking and painful.
As expected, news arrived after two days. Those independent tribes had formed a regiment and come to challenge the Sea King’s Palace. Muyun Qingge smiled helplessly when this news reached her.
The Sunset Palace liked driving a wedge between those weaker than them by using force. They made threats and promises to make a portion of the opponent defect and then make them face each other in battle while they looked on from afar. They’d move to attack the opponent after that.
Qing Shui and Yiye Jiange had also obtained the news. He wasn’t flustered at all because no matter what, the Sunset Palace wasn’t an Immortal Sect. As a result, he was fearless.
“Jiange, let’s go take a look. It’s time for the Hundred Slayers Regiment to take action.”
The strength of the Black Demon Mermen was pretty good and they were quite a lot stronger than before now. They excelled at real combat. It was quite rare for False God Stage experts to participate in a large scale fight at this level, as there were only a few of them.
