Chapter 1159: Noise!

A whim!

This must be a whim!

But could there be something here that threatens me?

Now, aside from beings like the Ten Divine Kings, no one should be able to threaten me, right?

Even if I can't win, at least I can still save my life.

Tong's strength is at most on par with Kan Qingzi's; she simply can't threaten me.

But why do I feel like I'm suffocating?

Li'er?

Ye Yuan shuddered all over, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed!

"Could it be... that Li'er really met with trouble?" Ye Yuan's heart pounded wildly.

"Ye... Ye Master, are you all right?" Xun shook Ye Yuan, worried.

Ye Yuan suddenly came to his senses and said weakly, "I'm fine, just help me to the bed to lie down for a while."

Tong apologized, saying, "Ye Master, with the enemy at hand, let Xun take care of you. I will go face the enemy first."

Ye Yuan was frantic with worry, but at this moment he couldn't muster any strength, so he had to nod and say, "Go ahead, Your Majesty. I'll be fine after some rest."

Refining the Purple Void Qi Spirit Pill had already left Ye Yuan somewhat exhausted, and this sudden wave of intuition only made things worse, leaving him almost unable to move.

"Milord, are you all right?"

Hearing that Ye Yuan was unwell, Ao Qian and others rushed over, all greatly alarmed.

Seeing Ye Yuan's pale complexion, they became even more worried.

"It's nothing. Let me recover first. You all guard the door. Taicang, go get the Pearl of Tears. We're leaving here immediately!"

After resting for a while, Ye Yuan gradually regained some strength and began to swallow pills to restore his vitality.

Ye Yuan was burning with anxiety, but he knew that the more anxious he was, the more he needed to stay calm.

With a large army pressing in from outside, if he didn't even recover his strength, it would be no different from seeking death.

A day later, Ye Yuan finally fully recovered.

When he went out, Ao Qian had been waiting outside for a day and a night.

Xun was nowhere to be seen; perhaps worried about the battle outside, he had gone to rejoin his people.

"My lord, what exactly happened?" Ao Qian asked with concern.

Ye Yuan frowned and said, "Li'er might be in trouble. We must rush back to Brightmoon City as soon as possible. Any delay could lead to unforeseen changes!"

Ao Qian and the others' faces changed drastically upon hearing this. They knew Ye Yuan had the ability to have premonitions, so such words were likely not unfounded.

After collecting the Pearl of Tears, Ye Yuan directly led Ao Qian and the others away from the mermaid clan.

...

"Hahaha, Tong, you never expected this, did you? The five great royal clans of the Hidden Sea Domain have all submitted to me! Now, only your mermaid clan remains! Today, I, Heiwu, will unify the Hidden Sea Domain. Those who follow me shall prosper; those who oppose me shall perish!"

The massive force formed by the Black Shark clan, along with the five royal clans—six clans in total—blocked the entire sea area, leaving no passage.

At the front of the formation, Heiwu, the king of the Black Shark clan, was in high spirits, laughing wildly.

On the opposite side, Tong was already severely wounded.

In the Hidden Sea Domain, the strongest were the Black Shark clan and the mermaid clan, followed by the eight royal clans.

During this time, Tong's attention was focused entirely on the Violet Spirit Qi Nourishing Pill, to the extent that he neglected the movements of the Black Shark Clan.

Unexpectedly, he had taken the opportunity to subdue five of the eight great royal clans and, by way of a surprise attack, completely surrounded the Mermaid Clan.

After a bloody battle, Tong and the experts of the Mermaid Clan were all severely wounded.

The Black Shark Clan was already very powerful, and with the addition of the five royal clans, their experts were countless.

How could the Mermaid Clan withstand such an onslaught?

"Formation!"

At Tong's command, the warriors of the Mermaid Clan each made their moves, condensing a powerful formation that protected everyone inside.

Seeing this, Black Shark couldn't help but laugh loudly: "At a time like this, you still want to put up a desperate struggle? Even if I don't attack your formation, how long can your demonic yuan sustain you?"

Tong said in a deep voice: "Heiwu, you despicable wretch! First you ambushed my son, and now you use tricks to force the Octopus Clan to submit. Even if I die today, I will drag you down with me!"

Before setting out, Tong hadn't expected the battle to be so dire.

Heiwu had gone to great lengths for today.

First, he ambushed Xun, diverting the Mermaid Clan's attention. Then he devised a plan to capture the young master of the Octopus Clan, making them hesitate to act and forcing them to join his camp.

Finally, Heiwu used a strategy to deceive the heavens and cross the sea, evading the other three royal clans and striking directly at the Mermaid Clan's headquarters.

Every step of this scheme was meticulously interwoven.

By the time Tong realized it, it was already too late.

"Haha, isn't there a human saying, 'All is fair in war'? Once I unify the Cangtian Sea, who would dare call me despicable? Tong, you want to hold the formation and wait for the other three clans to come to your aid? Haha, do you think I'll give you that chance?" Heiwu laughed wildly.

Tong's expression changed upon hearing this; he hadn't expected Heiwu to see through him.

That was exactly his plan.

At this moment, the other three great royal clans should have received the news and were rushing over.

If they all arrived, perhaps this crisis could be overcome.

"Hahaha, all of you, attack! Break their grand formation! I want to see how long they can hold out!" Heiwu commanded.

A dark mass of sea clans pressed forward toward the Mermaid Clan.

The momentum was truly earth-shattering.

But just as they advanced, a figure slowly emerged from within the Mermaid Clan's grand formation.

Seeing this, Heiwu was slightly surprised and said: "A human? Hey, kid, if you don't want to die, get out of my way!"

Seeing that figure, Tong and the others were startled, also exclaiming in surprise: "Ye... Master Ye?"

Xun, who had just recovered, saw Ye Yuan and was greatly alarmed, shouting: "Master Ye, it's dangerous! Get back into the formation!"

Ye Yuan seemed deaf, paying no heed to Xun's shouts, and continued walking unhurriedly toward Heiwu.

"Father, Master Ye saved my life. We can't just stand by and let him die!" Xun said urgently.

At first, Tong indeed had a look of astonishment on his face.

But soon, recalling what Sha Yi had said, he revealed a look of pleasant surprise.

He said excitedly to Xun: "Xun'er, Master Ye... might be the last hope of our Mermaid Clan! All mermaids, hear my command—attack! Today, we fight to the death with the Black Shark Clan!"

Tong hesitated no longer and directly abandoned the formation, charging toward the Black Shark Clan.

Seeing this, Heiwu was taken aback—had Tong lost his mind?

But at that moment, Ye Yuan had already arrived before him and said calmly: "Get out of the way!"

Heiwu was stunned again, then sneered: "A mere human at the seventh level of Dao Xuan dares to speak to me like this? You really are tired of living! Fine, I'll kill you first, then wipe out the Mermaid Clan. After today, the Cangtian Sea will be mine! Hahaha..."

Ye Yuan frowned and uttered a single word: "Annoying!"
