Chapter 688: Chapter 47 Resurrection [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]_1

Deep within the Ruins, there was an expansive and deep lake. In the center of the lake, there was a large rugged island, on which you could faintly see some buildings.

This place was called Merfolk Island.

Not many sea demons were eligible to enter the Ruins, and even fewer could survive within it. Among this parched landscape in the Ruins, the only ones who could create a suitable habitat were the Merfolk Tribe.

As the messengers of the God Mother, they held a high status among the sea demons.

It wasn’t too difficult to infiltrate this settlement. Wang Xuanling, leading two of the others, captured a lone sea demon and "politely" interrogated it to obtain the information they needed.

The golden loach had returned to Xu Ziyang’s hands earlier. He released it, and it immediately plunged into the water, quickly swam in a circle, and then hurriedly darted towards a certain direction.

Chu Liang, who had asked about it earlier, found out that the creature was a "Dragon Seeker", a unique spirit beast that used its spiritual sense to find things. As long as it had seen the item up close before, it could find it. Despite its appearance as an ordinary large golden loach, there were fewer than three of them left in the world.

Xu Ziyang had discovered the Dragon Seeker frozen in a secret realm and rescued it, and made it recognize him as its master. By age, this thing had to be at least three thousand years old.

No whisker grows in vain.

They ventured across the water to reach Merfolk Island, then cautiously concealed themselves. Once out of the water, the Dragon Seeker was not as sensitive, and it moved slowly. Fortunately, it seemed like most of the merfolk had left the island, so they managed to avoid the few who remained.

After a bit of maneuvering, they arrived near a reef on the other side of the island.

There was a mermaid girl standing there, gazing out at the lake. Her black hair was scattered down her back, giving her a slender and ethereal silhouette.

Xu Ziyang stepped forward, the girl turned around at the sound, and it was the Merfolk Princess.

"Young Hero?" The moment she saw Xu Ziyang, her eyes lit up.

But she quickly noticed the other two standing behind him — one was an elderly man with a sinister look and the other a young man with a childlike face.

The Merfolk Princess immediately became wary again. Perhaps because she had just experienced danger, she straightened up and stepped back, ready to dive into the water at any moment.

"Please don’t panic, Princess. These are my mentor and Junior Brother. We mean no harm," said Xu Ziyang in a clear, deep voice.

Listening to his hearty and magnetic voice, the Merfolk Princess hesitantly lowered her guard and asked: "What brings you to Merfolk Island?"

"We came specifically to find you, Princess," replied Xu Ziyang candidly.

"Ah..." The Merfolk Princess let out a soft sound of surprise, then aflutter, she looked down and said, "Why are you suddenly looking for me? We only met by chance and I don’t even know your name. How can you just come over...and bring your family along...There’s no sense in this, moreover..."

"What are you talking about, Princess?" Xu Ziyang was puzzled and said: "There are now villains who are faking the decree of the God Mother and stirring up trouble in the Southern Sea, we came all the way to report this to you, who else should we find?"

"Oh," the Merfolk Princess perked up and quickly hid her blush behind her hand, pretending not to care, she folded her hair back behind her ear, "So, it’s about that."

"What’s the matter with you, Princess?" asked Xu Ziyang.

"I’m fine," the Merfolk Princess replied with a smile.

After a pause, her eyes suddenly widened: "What? Someone is forging the decree of the God Mother and causing trouble in the Southern Sea?"

Xu Ziyang looked puzzled. He was thinking the princess seemed to have switched from clever to not very bright.

Chu Liang was smirking at Wang Xuanling, and whispered, "How come Senior Brother Xu is usually so wise but so obtuse about matters like this?"

"Can’t help it," Wang Xuanling sighed as if recalling something, "Like master, like apprentice."

Chu Liang immediately bristled: "Why are you cursing people while talking?"

...

After sitting down for an extensive discussion, they had explained the situation clearly to the Merfolk Princess.

The royal family of the Merfolk Tribe shared the surname "Baozhu". The Princess’s name was Baozhu Liange, so they addressed her as Princess Lian Ge.

Following Chu Liang’s account of his series of speculations, Princess Lian Ge deeply furrowed her brows, "I noticed something was wrong the last time. The decree from the God Mother that Jin Chan usually brings is warm, but the lastone was extremely cold. But with the Sea Master insisting, my mother could not resist the decree."

"Perhaps the reason they wanted to deal with the Princess was also because they were afraid you would notice the oddity and expose the plot," Chu Liang suggested.

"Right!" Princess Lian Ge stood up and said, "I need to let my mother know about this and have her lead the Sea Demon Clan against the Sea Master! We cannot let him start a war and disrupt our home."

The Merfolk Queen, who also had high prestige among the Sea Demon Clan, would be the only one who could openly oppose the Sea Master.

In fact, the discord between the Merfolk Queen and the Sea Master was not new.

The Ruins Shenxu, led by the Sea Master, was initially created to protect the Ruins and the God Mother from outside threats.

However, in the several hundred years that the Sea Master had been in control, the Ruins Shenxu started to grow stronger and began to hunt the Human Clan outside the Ruins. They had killed many fishermen and also attracted many retaliation attacks from cultivators.

The Sea Demon Clan naturally supported these acts of reprisal, but the Merfolk Queen believed that they might lead to larger conflicts and wished that the Sea Master would only defend the Ruins.

The sea demons were inherently loosely organized in the vast sea, and their rare leaders had different opinions, so they had never been able to unite themselves.
