Chapter 373: The Mermaid Emperor's Tribulation
"Have the mermaids thought it through?"

An old scholar spoke calmly.

The Seventh Mermaid Prince had a gloomy expression on his face and did not give a direct answer.

"I will report this matter to my father, and he will make the decision."

The old Confucian scholar in front of him was none other than Mr. Yuan, who had been pursued by the Xuanyang officials before, and he was in the water courtyard.

Mr. Yuan sneered: "Isn't it possible that the Mermaid King is not far from overcoming the tribulation?"

After these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the side hall became even more solemn.

The seventh merman prince narrowed his narrow eyes slightly.

Yes, the Xuanjiang water tribe is facing the biggest crisis in a thousand years.

The pillar of the Water Court, the Mermaid Emperor, is about to face a natural calamity that occurs once every thousand years. If he survives this calamity, his life span will be extended by another thousand years. If he fails, he will be reduced to ashes.

The Mermaid King has lived for too long. He has survived two heavenly tribulations before, and this one will only be more terrifying.

Even the Mermaid King himself did not have much confidence.

That's why the Seventh Mermaid Prince met with Mr. Yuan, in order to leave a way out for the Xuanjiang Water Tribe.

It is true that the Mermaid Emperor had signed a contract with the founding emperor of Xuanyang, but after all, a thousand years have passed and times have changed.

The reason why Xuan Yang was so good-tempered towards the Xuanjiang water tribe was certainly not because he was keeping his word and abided by a promise made a thousand years ago, but because the power of the Mermaid King was too strong.

When the Mermaid Emperor was in charge, the Xuanyang court was still somewhat afraid of him, but once the Mermaid Emperor died from a heavenly calamity, it would be hard to say what would happen next.

The later emperors of Xuanyang became more and more greedy and tried to encroach on the Xuanjiang aquatic tribe several times.

But they were all blocked by the Mermaid King. Without the Mermaid King, the Xuanjiang water tribe would no longer be able to fight against the human race.

The strongest of the aquatic tribe nowadays is only the seventh prince of the mermaid, an eighth-rank monster. If he encounters a powerful human, he will be at the mercy of others.

Therefore, another way out must be found.

And the only sect in this world that can compete with Xuan Yang is, of course, the Demon Sect.

Mr. Yuan saw this opportunity and appeared in Xuanjiang Water Courtyard.

Thousands of years ago, the Water Tribe fought alongside Xuan Yang to drive the Demon Sect to Beiyuan, and now the two sides have joined forces again.

There are truly no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

The Seventh Prince of the Mermaid snorted coldly: "My father is in the prime of his life, sir, please be careful with your words."

Mr. Yuan laughed and said, "It's okay. I can wait."

After saying this, he sat cross-legged in the side hall and said no more.

Although the Seventh Prince of the Mermaid was dissatisfied with Mr. Yuan's arrogant behavior, he could only bear it.

After all, he knew that what Mr. Yuan said was true.

Once the Mermaid King dies and the Xuanyang court wipes out all the Xuanjiang aquatic creatures, Mr. Yuan will be his last hope.

"Master Fang, aren't you afraid that the mermaid prince is lying?"

An official from the Ministry of Justice asked.

As the Ministry of Justice, which interrogates criminals, knows best that human minds are unpredictable, and the same goes for mermaids.

Fang Hua smiled slightly: "Of course I don't believe it, it's just a warning to scare the tiger."

The reason why he went to the Water Court was to put pressure on the mermaids and make them reveal their flaws as soon as possible.

Emperor Xuanyang has long been eyeing the Xuanjiang water tribe, he just lacked a reason, and now is the best time.

As long as they could find evidence of the Xuanjiang Water Clan's secret dealings with the Demon Sect, the contract between the two clans would naturally become invalid.

Moreover, according to the calculations of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, the old Mermaid King is about to face a heavenly calamity.

Fang Hua: "We will lurk around. The old mermaid king is about to pass the tribulation, and the Xuanjiang water tribe will definitely be impatient."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Now, His Majesty is determined to become an emperor of all ages like Emperor Taizu, and vows to unify all forces in Xuanyang, and the Xuanjiang Water Tribe is the most important part of it.

If we can find some evidence against the Xuanjiang water tribe this time, it will definitely be a great achievement.

Time passes day by day.

Bai Yuan and his group have been squatting on the bank of Xuanjiang River, observing the every move of the Xuanjiang aquatic creatures.

"A team of mermaids are patrolling in the mountains." Bai Yuan closed his eyes and sensed the evil spirit.

Fang Hua had already seen Bai Yuan's methods of hunting monsters.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he brought Bai Yuan with him to Xuanjiang, otherwise with their means, they would not be able to detect the mermaids who were so far away.

"I can't hold it back."

Now that the Xuanjiang water tribe has taken action, flaws will follow.

Fang Hua already had a vague premonition that the Xuanjiang Water Tribe had most likely met the Elder Demon.

Water garden.

Seven days, and in another seven days it will be the heavenly calamity for the Mermaid King.

The Seventh Mermaid Prince's mood had sunk to the bottom. He was almost certain that there was no way the Mermaid King could survive this heavenly calamity.

Once the Mermaid King survives this heavenly calamity, he will most likely become a celestial demon comparable to a human martial saint.

It’s a pity that the Mermaid King doesn’t have that kind of strength.

The seventh prince of the mermaid was holding a piece of jade as bright as moonlight in his hand, and a picture was emerging on the jade.

Several Xuanyang officials who had come to Shuiting before were clearly in the picture.

"Shameless human race!"

The anger in the heart of the Seventh Mermaid Prince has reached its peak.

Over the past thousand years, although the Xuanjiang water tribe has always maintained its heyday, it has never produced a ninth-level monster.

In addition to the fact that the monster race grows extremely slowly, whenever a water monster with extremely high talent appears in the Xuanjiang water race, it will die inexplicably.

The Seventh Prince of the Mermaid certainly knew that all those water monsters died at the hands of the Xuanyang people.

Or rather, they all died in the court's conspiracy.

The purpose is to prevent another monster like the Mermaid King from appearing in the aquatic tribe.

Therefore, the number of powerful people in the water tribe has increased over the past thousand years, but there is no one who has broken through to the ninth level.

The seventh merman prince made a decision in his heart.

In the side hall.

Mr. Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

"Have you already thought about it?"

The Seventh Prince of the Mermaid snorted coldly: "Can the Demon Sect really ensure that our people can reach the Beiyuan Glacier smoothly?"

Mr. Yuan: "Of course, and the Xuanjiang Water Tribe seems to have no other choice."

"."

The side hall fell into a long silence.

Finally, the Seventh Mermaid Prince sighed softly.

Just as the human in front of him said, the Xuanjiang Water Tribe has no way out. Although the Demon Sect cannot be trusted, at least the interests of both parties are the same. They will not take action against the water tribe before overthrowing the Xuanyang Dynasty.

The Beiyuan Glacier mentioned by Mr. Yuan is the new habitat chosen by the Demon Sect for the Xuanjiang aquatic tribe.

I heard that the river is icy all year round, but it is better than staying in Xuanjiang and being killed by the Xuanyang people.

The Seventh Mermaid Prince: "So what should we do next?"

Mr. Yuan looked at the change in the Seventh Prince's words and smiled with satisfaction: "First, kill the few Xuanyang people who are waiting outside Xuanjiang."

The seventh merman prince took a deep breath.

"it is good!"

He knew very well that the heads of those Xuanyang people were his token of surrender to the Demon Sect.

Mr. Yuan seemed to remember something: "Among them, there is a young official named Bai who should not be killed."

"understood."

The seventh merman prince's eyes flashed coldly and he turned and left.
