"It doesn’t matter, just a chess piece. Dead is dead, I can cultivate another one."
"Speaking of which, that Sivall is also a ruthless character..."
The tasks of these Deputies, aside from building illegal labs and spreading viruses to expand polluted areas, were more focused on secretly contacting local powers to force them into submission.
New Atlantis is the strongest Sea Country on this continent. Gaining its support would be a huge advantage for them.
Unfortunately, the Sea Emperor Jialouluo is not someone who can be easily bought off.
Initially, they selected this Abandoned Empress, who had a connection with the Emperor and was familiar with the Sea Emperor, as a chess piece, intending to use him to approach the Emperor and achieve their goals.
But before using this chess piece, they must ensure his loyalty.
Sivall, to barter for his life and a chance to rise again, personally killed his own son.
Someone mocked, "Ha, to survive and become stronger, he kills his own son as if it’s nothing. Such a person would probably rebel if kept around."
"But in such a place, he’s probably been driven mad long ago. What family affection could be left? No one would miss any chance to live."
They chatted casually for a moment, quickly casting aside such a trivial matter, and once again turned their gaze to the unconscious female in the cage.
The room had 360-degree surveillance, ensuring it was impossible for her to escape.
They had already reported this matter and would be taking her away tonight.
...
The Priest Temple had become a sea area intertwined with scarlet and filth.
The slender and tall figure of the young Mermaid quietly floated in the sea, surrounded by countless shattered corpses, his long fingers twisting strands of blood, and his azure eyes stained with a hint of enchanting hue from endless slaughter.
He lifted his gaze towards the distance, the intense murderous aura gradually calming, his expression returning to clarity.
The Priest Temple suffered heavy casualties.
When everyone thought the temple could not be preserved, the pollution creatures suddenly began a large-scale retreat.
No one knew what had happened; they only assumed the beast tide had changed directions.
The temple’s Beastmen cheered joyfully.
Jia Lan retreated from the battlefield, swimming back to the temple, hurriedly searching for that familiar figure.
But upon returning to the temple, he discovered that Shen Tang was missing.
After the last lesson, she couldn’t just disappear without reason. Uncontainable panic surged in Jia Lan’s heart, "Tangtang?"
"Tangtang, where are you?"
"Come out quickly, don’t scare me... The pollutants have already retreated, we can go back..."
Jia Lan stumbled around searching, his trembling voice gradually becoming hoarse and shattered.
He turned the entire temple upside down but still could not find that figure.
Like a madman, he grabbed passing attendants one by one, urgently questioning the whereabouts of the female, finally obtaining a clue—
Someone saw Shen Tang leaving with a temple Beastman during the chaos.
Jia Lan, with red eyes, dashed out to search, finally discovering a Beastman corpse several kilometers away in the forest.
The Beastman’s limbs were being eaten by nearby Sea Beasts, the body almost unrecognizable, but it wore tattered temple garments.
Jia Lan swam over, swiftly probing the corpse’s memories before its death, his face instantly turning pale, his body trembling.
Tangtang was captured!
The direction those people headed towards was... Forgotten Sea!
To the Sea Beastmen, Forgotten Sea is akin to the most terrifying place, undoubtedly a Death Forbidden Land.
Every Sea Clan person from childhood has been repeatedly warned by parents and elders about the danger of Forgotten Sea, absolutely forbidden to approach it, with none ever returning alive from there.
Jia Lan unhesitatingly swam towards Forgotten Sea.
"Kill him!"
The executors pounced, powerful superpowers assailing Jia Lan!
Waves, gales, earth dragons, augmentation, vines, iron walls, metallic blades... numerous terrifying energies bombarded Jia Lan, the fierce battle transforming the entire space into surging ocean waves, the sounds of explosive energy resounding endlessly.
Nearby pollutants were impacted by these powerful superpowers.
The sea area soon became even more scarlet and foul, littered with countless Mutant Beast corpses.
Jia Lan, despite being a Ninth Rank Beastman, even if exceptionally gifted, could not withstand several Tenth Rank strong opponents. Soon he was bruised all over, his face pale, crimson dripping from the corners of his lips.
Clearly beaten near death, his spine remained straight, without any intention of conceding, even countering and eliminating an enemy.
This was a powerful Tenth Rank Beastman! Amidst such a siege by Deputies, a Ninth Rank Beastman managed to slay a Tenth Rank one—what terrifying talent!
The lead Deputy could no longer sit still, leading subordinates to unleash their full superpowers, finally defeating this pesky Mermaid.
Bang!
Jia Lan, akin to a bird shot through by a bullet, slowly plummeted to the abyssal bottom from the sea area above, shattered and nearly unrecognizable.
The Mermaid quietly lay amidst the crevice at the valley bottom, his tail almost dyed red, motionless, life uncertain.
The lead black-clad man instructed the Beastman beside him, "Go check if he’s dead."
"Yes."
The black-clad man stepped forward, metal blades forming in his palm, ready to deliver a killing blow.
The unconscious Mermaid suddenly opened his eyes, those violet-red eyes reached an ultimate bewitching splendor, as if possessing magical power to instantly absorb one’s soul!
The black-clad man froze in place, forgetting his intentions.
In the next second, the Mermaid youth flashed forward, icy palms clasping his throat.
A crisp snap echoed, the Tenth Rank Beastman’s neck bone shattered, disposed of like trash at his feet!
