Offering my divine power to break my karma

Above the South China Sea, the waves rolled, and countless strange-looking sea monsters crawled towards the shore with their fangs and claws bared, then rushed towards the panicked mortals with their smelly mouths open.

Because of the sudden appearance of a demonic cultivator in the City Lord's Mansion, almost all the cultivators who came to Nanhai City went to the City Lord's Mansion.

Therefore, when sirens came ashore on coastlines everywhere, there were no monks to stop them.

Just when the fishermen on the beach were in despair, a familiar tall figure, leading the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, appeared on the coastline and blocked the siren's steps to come ashore.

When the fishermen saw their city lord, they were overjoyed. Their legs, which had been limp from fear, regained strength and they quickly ran towards the inner city with their families.

So, when Ling and his companions arrived at the South Coast, what they saw was that the city lord Nan Kun, who was supposed to have been killed by his cuckolded son and younger brother, was actually fighting against the sea monster.

"Lord Nan, you are not dead!"

Someone exclaimed in disbelief.

The others also looked at Nan Kun in disbelief. For some reason, the monks felt as if they were being used again.

Hearing this exclamation, a man who looked about 70% similar to Young Master Fu Yue, with facial features not as delicate as Young Master Fu Yue but with a tougher face, withdrew from the battlefield, came in front of the cultivators, bowed deeply, and saluted.

Nan Kun said in a steady voice:

"This is a long story. I hope you can help Nanhai City get through this disaster first. I will explain the situation to you and present you with generous gifts in the future."

After hearing Nan Kun's words, the monks looked at each other, and finally stopped asking questions. They quickly divided into several teams and joined the battle with the sea monster.

The affairs of this Nan family are so strange and complicated. Although they really want to get to the bottom of this matter, the most important thing at the moment is to deal with these sea monsters that are about to come ashore.

Ling took a deep look at Nan Kun who was fighting with the sea monster, and did not join the fight. Instead, he rode the Aoxue Spear and flew towards the depths of the South China Sea.

"Fellow Taoist Murong."

When Luo Qingya saw Ling flying towards the depths of the South China Sea, she couldn't help but shout out in concern.

Hearing Luo Qingya's shout, Ling didn't look back, but just left one sentence.

"Hold on here, I'll be back soon."

After hearing what Ling said, Luo Qingya was confused, but she didn't ask any more questions and continued to fight with the mermaid.

……

Above the South China Sea, Ling stopped in mid-air with his Aoxue Gun under his feet. Looking at the surging waves below, Ling pursed his lips, his expression more serious than ever before.

The beautiful phoenix eyes looked indifferently at the South China Sea below. Through the surging waves, Ling looked into a pair of eyes as bright as stars.

These eyes were still clear and bright, and it seemed as if there were still thousands of stars shining in them, clean and pure.

However, the owner of these eyes at this time is no longer the innocent person eating snail noodles in a large bowl.

Instead, with a flick of his hand, he could create huge waves, pushing countless ferocious sea monsters towards the land.

"Sea, you are here."

The clear and ethereal sound of the stars came from the South China Sea.

"Ah."

Zero responded calmly.

Seeing that Xingchen had no intention of coming out of the South China Sea, Ling did not hesitate. He put away the Aoxue Gun and jumped directly into the South China Sea.

Looking at the sea in front of him that could still move freely and breathe normally in the deep sea, Xingchen's eyes became brighter.

"Dahai, are you also a mermaid?"

"Well, no, there is no trace of mermaids on the sea."

"Hmm? So, sea, what is your true form? A fish?"

Xingchen looked at Ling with sparkling eyes, expecting Ling's answer.

Ling did not answer Xingchen's question, but just looked at Xingchen in front of him with a complicated expression. Xingchen still looked enchanting and innocent.

Now, Xingchen's pair of long, straight legs have disappeared, replaced by a beautiful dark blue fish tail.

The fishtail is the same color as Xingchen's hair and eyes, as if it is a part of her body, blending in perfectly.

The deep blue fish tail sways gently in the water, flashing a mysterious and charming light.

Each scale is as dazzling as a gem. They reflect colorful colors under the light, forming a gorgeous picture.

When the fish swims, these scales will shine with the waves of water, presenting a wonderful sparkling scene, like an exquisite and beautiful work of art.

However, everyone who knows about mermaids knows that although their tails are beautiful, they are deadly.

Ling's eyes moved away from Xingchen's fish tail, looked at Xingchen, and asked in a calm voice:

"Why are you doing this? Do you have a grudge against the human race?"

Ling's voice was really calm, without any questioning in his voice. He was just simply curious about why Xingchen did this.

Although there are some complicated causal lines in Xingchen's body, Ling did not see any evil in him, which proved that at least so far, Xingchen has not harmed innocent people.

So, why do we suddenly have to drive those sirens ashore and let them harm the human race?

Hearing Ling's question, Xingchen blinked, tilted his head, and then answered seriously:

"Because they repay kindness with hatred."

Zero frowned.

they?

Is it some specific people? Or is it referring to everyone in Nanhai City?

"Is it the ordinary mortals in Nanhai City who repay you with hatred? Or is it the monks in Nanhai City?"

Zero asked.

"Um, this one?"

Hearing Ling ask this, Xingchen was confused for a moment.

But soon the momentary confusion disappeared, Xingchen blinked, and his clear and ethereal voice contained a bit of indifference.

"Dahai, you are so smart, so why don't you guess who was the powerful god who drove all the sea monsters back to the South China Sea a thousand years ago and made the South China Sea completely peaceful?"

"It's you."

Zero glanced at Xingchen and replied calmly.

"If you answer correctly, I'll give you a conch."

Xingchen swam over to Zero and handed him a beautiful blue conch with a bright smile.

Ling looked at the conch handed to him, was silent for a few breaths, and finally reached out to take the conch in front of him.

The mermaids will give their scales to their lovers, and give conch shells of the same color as their tails to their friends.

"Can you tell me what happened?"

Ling looked at the conch in his hand and asked in a rare gentle voice.

Xingchen was silent for a while and said:

"A thousand years ago, my cultivation reached the level of Divine Transformation, and my fish tail could transform into a pair of legs to walk on the shore."

“That was my first time interacting with humans, and also my first time eating snail rice noodle and stinky tofu.”

"I like the cute children of the human race, the enthusiastic uncles and aunts of the human race, and I like snail noodles and stinky tofu even more. So, when I saw the sea monster hurting them, I chose to help. I chose to spend most of my cultivation to drive the sea monster back to the South China Sea, and there would be no more tsunamis in the South China Sea. I also fell into a deep sleep."

When he said this, Xingchen's tone was a little cold.

"I slept for a thousand years for the sake of the human race. But when I woke up, the people who had benefited from me were thinking about how to gain benefits from my people and how to rob my mermaids of their resources and wealth."

"Two mere sons of the city lord actually dared to plot against my sister's feelings. Not only did they trick my sister into taking her precious heart blood as water-repellent beads, they also tricked her into bringing them to the territory of my mermaid tribe. They injured my tribe members and greedily robbed the mermaid tribe's treasures. In the end, my sister turned against her tribe members and was imprisoned in a forbidden area forever."
