Chapter 368 The Encounter
The seawater dissolved the seawood's body, and the fish scales on the floor of Chenfeng Pavilion gradually disappeared.
The mainland was unaware of the wonders of the sea, and the power of the ocean helped the sea tree complete its transformation.
Fish scales were transferred to the sea surface, seawater returned to the ocean, and river water flowed back into the river channel.
The Mermaid Seawood appeared in the inner room of Chenfeng Pavilion.
His fish tail transformed into legs, and his scales naturally became trousers.
He put on his silk robe, felt the dampness and saltiness of the air, and guessed that this place was deep inland.
It is not conducive to him staying for long.
We must hurry and bring the goddess back to Deepsea City.
He walked around Chenfeng Pavilion, looked at all the portraits of the goddesses, and then went to the window to observe the environment outside.
The training grounds are right outside the window, but they are empty and look unremarkable.
Hai Mu opened the door a crack and sent his spiritual sense out to investigate.
Above the main hall of the Wind God Temple, the luxurious spirit lamps suddenly lit up, flashing and emitting a piercing warning sound.
Hai Mu immediately withdrew his spiritual sense and closed the door.
A large number of cultivators rushed into the main hall. One group guarded the door, while the others searched in groups.
The spiritual detection lamps inside the hall are specifically designed to detect the spiritual consciousness of those who are not high-ranking cultivators within the sect.
The Koi-themed home decorations are similar to Lingbao.
Jiang Ming and Shen Yao were having dinner at Xufeng Garden when they heard the warning sound and rushed over immediately.
"Master," a disciple reported to him, "the second floor has been searched, and we are now searching the third floor."
Jiang Ming asked in a deep voice, "Has the study been searched?"
The disciple replied, "We've checked; there were no intruders in the study."
They waited for a while, and then the disciples on the third floor came down to report.
"Master Bing, we have searched all the rooms except Chenfeng Pavilion and found no intruders."
Jiang Ming held Shen Yao's hand tightly, and after thinking it over, took her to Chenfeng Pavilion.
He didn't feel comfortable leaving her behind, and besides, she was strong enough now; it would be better for the two of them to be together.
The moment the warning sound rang, the protective array of the main hall of the Wind God Hall was activated. Only cultivators of the True God Hall could enter or leave, and Hai Mu could not escape from the window.
Since he couldn't get out, he, a dignified merman, disdained to continue hiding.
Anyway, the goddess is here, he'll have to show up sooner or later.
With a gloomy face, Jiang Ming used the tip of his knife to push open the door.
Hai Mu sat at the square table in the outer hall, leisurely holding a teacup, and smiled at Shen Yao: "Goddess, it's been a long time."
Shen Yao was very surprised: "Hai Mu? What are you doing here?"
Jiang Ming recalled the faint spiritual energy he sensed in the obsidian passage last night: "What kind of magic did you use last night to follow me here?"
"A trivial skill, not worth mentioning." Hai Mu took a sip of tea and said to Shen Yao, "Nine years have passed. Are you willing to return to Deepsea City with me?"
He smiled and spoke in a friendly manner, but his whole being exuded a dangerous aura.
It was practically a direct threat: 'If you don't agree, I'll resort to violence.'
Jiang Ming's killing intent surged, and his Flaming Sun Blade burst into flames. He wanted to take her back to Deep Sea City as a sacrifice, but no way!
Shen Yao had been communicating with Hai Mu for nine years, and during those nine years, he had asked her before whether she was willing to go to Deep Sea City.
She didn't think Haimu would still consider throwing her into the Jiaoluo Secret Realm as a sacrifice.
But just because he doesn't, doesn't mean his people won't.
She didn't answer whether she was willing or not, but instead shouted towards the outside of the hall using a megaphone: "Father!!!"
A few breaths later, Huo Die arrived in a whirlwind.
The speed was so fast that Hai Mu was shocked: What a powerful immortal cultivator!
That speed, that aura... the fox demon who fought him back then probably couldn't withstand three moves from this immortal lord.
Huo Die stopped and saw the mermaid, then he knew why his daughter had summoned him.
His eyes were unfriendly as he hissed at Haimu, "What do you think you're doing, kid?"
Hai Mu felt a chill run down his spine.
He was, after all, a demon lord who had lived for two thousand years, yet he felt a chill in his heart when facing this middle-aged man.
Haimu's facial expression management failed; he couldn't even force a smile.
He stood up and replied, "I haven't seen the goddess for many years and I miss her dearly, so I came to visit."
His tone was very guilty.
Huo Die snorted coldly: "Since they're here as guests, son-in-law, you should entertain them."
Jiang Ming slowly sheathed his sword.
Having a Celestial Emperor as a father-in-law is great; even the Demon Lord wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
He actually quite wanted to see the Mermaid Lord get beaten up by his father-in-law.
There's a proper way to treat guests, so Jiang Ming changed his attitude and first invited Xiu to have a meal.
It just so happened that he and Shen Yao hadn't eaten much breakfast.
After dinner, they took Haimu for a casual stroll around the neighborhood to digest their food.
After digesting her food, Shen Yao still had to practice her swordsmanship.
She warmly invited Hai Mu to be her sparring partner, hoping to find out more about him.
If he were to actually take me to Deep Sea City someday, I would have a better understanding of the merman's techniques.
Nine years ago, Shen Yao, an Immortal Ancestor, faced four Demon Ancestors and managed to cripple three of them, achieving a great victory.
After that, Hai Mu thought about wanting to test his skills against her.
Upon receiving the invitation, he readily agreed.
They went to fight in the cultivation illusion.
Huo Die and Jiang Ming entered the illusion together and watched the battle from the sidelines.
The magic of the mermaid was indeed strange and unpredictable.
Seawood can also summon a giant water sphere to envelop him, and then disappear from the sphere.
It can also teleport from one water sphere to another.
Jiang Ming tried to deduce from his moves how he had appeared at Chenfeng Pavilion.
It must be related to the faint spiritual energy he sensed in the obsidian passage.
Shen Yao was fast, but the Superior Mermaid was even faster.
Every time she chased and broke a water sphere, Hai Mu would emerge from another water sphere and ambush her from behind.
After she turned around to defend herself, as she charged again, Hai Mu teleported into another water sphere.
The illusion contains many water spheres, large and small, arranged arbitrarily.
And new water balloons keep appearing.
After failing several times, Shen Yao came up with a plan.
She formed a hand seal and used her wood elemental power to condense many wooden vines, which then chased after the water sphere and entangled the sea wood.
In the illusion, the water spheres were simultaneously shattered, and one of the vines entangled the melting seawood.
Shen Yao watched helplessly as the seawood melted. Realizing something was amiss behind her, she immediately turned around to defend herself.
Sure enough, another water sphere appeared behind her, and Hai Mu burst out of it, unleashing ice spikes to attack her.
Jiang Ming's eyes darkened slightly. He shifted his form... It seemed that the Mermaid Lord had followed him to the branch sect through some medium and had moved to Chenfeng Pavilion.
Why Chenfeng Pavilion?
Jiang Ming was reviewing the events... He and Yao Yao left Chenfeng Pavilion, and then the Mermaid appeared.
What's inside Chenfeng Pavilion?
He returned last night and left this morning, leaving only an outer robe in the inner room.
It must have been his outer robe that was used as a medium.
I wonder if the Mermaid Lord can bring other cultivators along when he teleports.
This would make it impossible to guard against. In the future, Yao Yao should not be left alone, nor should her father-in-law be allowed to leave the sect to kill the Evil Emperor. It would be best to bring Tu Xiaoxiao back as well.
Deepsea City has more than just Haimu as a Mermaid Lord.
Jiang Ming became increasingly anxious. When would he be able to awaken his new spiritual root and become an immortal venerable?
He's still not strong enough.
At this point, he even considered following in his father's footsteps.
Ask your father-in-law to give him the Spirit Awakening Seal, and use the Spirit Awakening Seal to exchange for a new spiritual root.
Cultivators can exchange their spiritual roots for voluntary contributions.
What cultivator in the world would be willing to give up their spiritual root?
Using Feng Yu's?
For Yao Yao's sake, let alone asking Feng Yu to sacrifice two of his spiritual roots, he probably wouldn't hesitate to extract them all.
Jiang Ming considered the consequences and decided, "No, no, that won't do."
If Feng Yu's spiritual root were truly extracted, she would probably rather go to Deep Sea City than be with him.
Who would be willing to do it?
We can't let him use Wang Xu's...
I'm having trouble bringing myself to do it.
Moreover, Wang Xu could only provide him with one soul root.
No need. No need.
After having a wife and children, his cold heart began to grow flesh...
Whose should we use?
