AST 1585 - Black Demon Merman Chu Dongri, The Hundred Slayers Regiment To Battle
Qing Shui and Yiye Jiange immediately went outside of the Sea King’s Palace. When they heard that Muyun Qingge had already gone to the scene, they hastened their pace and quickly rushed over to catch up to her.
This area was about a thousand li away from and a thousand li above the Sea King’s Palace. There was already a fierce commotion outside of the palace. Most of the Carp Tribe had already spread their influence towards the Sea King’s Palace. Their population was quite overwhelming too, and their forces should never be underestimated.
Qing Shui thought, as he continued his journey, that the master of this Sunset Palace should be Mermaids. Normally, no one would regard a Mermaid as a powerful existence when they heard its name. To be honest, Qing Shui still couldn’t believe it even until now.
Muyun Qingge was a Drakaina. In comparison to Merfolk, Qing Shui felt that the Drakaina Tribe was stronger. However, when he thought that Jin Liyu could become stronger, why not the Merfolk? According to rumors, Salamanders were considered to be a strong existence, too.
Anything was possible here. Qing Shui didn’t feel strange about it. However, there were many things that were new to him, so he needed some time to process and accept them as facts.
Currently, the Sea Dragon Palace and the Vicious Shark Palace were already finished. The Sunset Palace had come for them to uphold their justice. The Sunset Palace did not care for either side - which side was right and which side was wrong. When they saw the Sea Dragon Palace and the Vicious Shark Palace being annihilated, they didn’t need an argument.
Differentiation between the right and the wrong was useless in this case. Only the victor would become the king. The loser would become a bandit.
This made Qing Shui think of a situation in his past life. If one were to reason with the other, fist fights would ensue. Where there were fists flying around, there would be arguments. However, to be able to truly control the situation, one would still require power to back himself up. Otherwise, there would be nothing to discuss face-to-face.
As the protector of the Sea King’s Palace, normally Qing Shui would not show himself this early. But now, the people of the Sea King’s Palace were feeling insecure, and they needed Qing Shui’s appearance to somewhat comfort most of their emotions and boost their morale.
Even though he had shown himself, he didn’t move forward to the frontline. Instead, he entered a temporary cave, where most of the area was covered in water. However, these people were able to stay in here like fishes in water. Just like humans living with oxygen in the air, there was no discomfort whatsoever.
Qing Shui took a gander at the distance just now and noted that the movement afar was massive. However, he had seen bigger battles. This spectacle was just child’s play. When he entered the cave, he saw that Muyun Qingge and a few powerful cultivators from Sea King’s Palace were already here.
When the cultivators saw Qing Shui and Yiye Jiange entering the cave, they gave the duo a few polite greetings. Qing Shui exchanged his greetings as well before turning to Muyun Qingge and asked, “Do you have any plans?”
“This time, I don’t care what reason they have. As long as they intend to betray the Sea King’s Palace, I will make them pay.” Muyun Qingge said with a casual smile, yet there was a certain aloofness in that smile of hers.
There were a few great water tribe leaders in the Sea King’s Palace. Qing Shui observed the situation and felt that her words meant something. He couldn’t be certain about it. Nevertheless, he assured her, “Don’t worry, I will help you with that. I really hate treacherous people a lot. These people do not hold friendship in regard and will betray others at any given time. These kinds of people are despised by anyone. They will not have a good ending either.”
Muyun Qingge knew that Qing Shui was only trying to back her up. She laughed, “The Sunset Palace has already arrived, but they don’t seem that willing to show their faces. These rebels from the Sea King’s Palace are really pitiful to actually think they can rise to the top once they leave us. This is the Sunset Palace’s same old trick. Their master was once tricked before, so they take delight in using this kind of trick repeatedly and consistently. If they were able to leave Sea King’s Palace by relying on their own power, then I must comply with that.”
At that moment, the Merman came back again and reported, “Reporting to Palace Mistress, the leader of Shark Wolves has sent us a missive.”
Muyun Qingge took the missive from the merman and smiled after she read the contents, “Take a guess on what is written in here.”
Qing Shui observed the smiling expression on Muyun Qingge’s face. Although he had some idea of what it was, he didn’t utter a word.
Yiye Jiange smiled, “Can it be that the Shark Wolf tribe is requesting for reinforcements or asking for help?”
“Yiye Jiange is smarter still. The Shark Wolf tribe said they were compelled to the situation in the missive, and that they had no choice left. They even said that their hearts have always been with the Sea King’s Palace.”
Qing Shui didn’t say anything, but he knew that this sort of thing would happen numerous times in a day. There were many incidents where one would be devoid of choices or would not have the knowledge of the result of certain choices, thus unable to make comparisons.
A single person and groups of people would always experience moments when a choice was needed to be made. Every choice could potentially affect their entire life. No one would know for certain that the choice he made would be the best one. The next best thing he could do was to make a choice without regret.
The Shark Wolf tribe had chosen this path and they could only walk on it until the end. Qing Shui felt that it wasn’t necessary to write this missive. Of course, he couldn’t dismiss the thought that this was part of their plot to dismiss the opponent’s troops. After all, there were facing a Black Demon Merman tribe in front of them. This was a strong group in the water tribe.
Muyun Qingge handed the missive to Yiye Jiange and said, “Jiange, tell us what we should do. The missive said they could act as a planted agent in the enemy’s base.”
“It’s not necessary for us to go down this path. On top of that, they are not quite trustworthy. The Shark Wolf tribe is cunning in comparison to the others. You can’t just simply believe some of their words. The Sunset Palace is powerful, but it’s not like we don’t have the strength to counter them.” Yiye Jiange replied with a smile.
“I almost forgot that we still have a powerful protector. Qing Shui, we have to depend on you this time.” Muyun Qingge giggled.
Both forces set into their battle formations in preparation for the battle. Even though there wasn’t any special formation, it was still a type of positional battle. This way, they could allow themselves to cooperate with one another more smoothly while battling.
The Sea King’s Palace still had the Carp tribe acting as the vanguard of the formation. After all, the Carp Dragon Gate formation was considered quite powerful. It was still extremely effective against those with slightly weaker power in the battlefield.
