After being reincarnated, I cultivated immortality.

Kong Bai struck out with a palm, severely injuring Chun Li, who then landed next to Yang Wei's corpse, covered in wounds.

"Pfft~"

Chunli coughed up blood, having no time to care about anything else, and immediately crawled towards Yang Wei, whose eyes were already closed, and hugged his body in his arms.

"Brother Wei, wake up, don't sleep..." Chunli ignored her injuries and kept calling out to Yang Wei, unwilling to face the truth.

Tears fell from their eyes and instantly turned into pearls. Chi Yi, Kong Bai, Bai Shu, and Lu Qiu watched this magical scene. It turned out that the tears of merfolk really did turn into pearls.

There was no time for sentimentality; they had more important things to do.

Kong Bai threw out a magical artifact, trapping the two inside. Yang Wei was human, so they could kill him without consequence, but Chun Li was a merman, so they should leave him to be punished.

He clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha." He shook his head, then turned and left with Chi Yi and the others.

…………

Inside the magnificent palace.

"Ah~" A painful sound rang out.

A huge fish tail rose high from the water, its color a stunning azure blue, shimmering with a crystal-clear light. Yet, at this moment, the fish tail was swinging wildly in the air, as if it had lost control.

Above the fish tail is a muscular upper body, a strong physique full of power, but now it is shrouded in a strange black mist.

The black mist writhed on his body like a living thing, emanating an ominous aura.

The man's face was contorted, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was ferocious, revealing endless pain and anger.

The other mermaids, bound together, trembled and huddled together, all with expressions of pity, some even shedding pearly tears, fearing they would be next.

The man in black robes who caused all this remained unmoved, even seemingly enjoying it, as if the suffering of others brought him comfort.

"Tsk tsk tsk~ The Mermaid King is really heartless. He watches his son suffer so much but remains unmoved. He would release all the merfolk if they just told him where that thing was..." The man in black robes said to the Mermaid King, who was tied up alone.

The Merman King's blue fishtail was curled up, and a delicate and beautiful crown adorned his blue hair, signifying his identity. His eyes were closed, and his resolute and handsome face remained expressionless, unmoved by the words of the man in black robes.

Seeing this, the man in black robes waved his hand and another black spell wrapped around the merman in the air.

"Ahhh~" A scream rang out.

A female merman, unable to bear watching her male merman suffer any longer, cried out to the merman king, "My king, please save Chong'er! If this continues, Chong'er will die, sob sob..."

The Merman King Xi Fu finally opened his eyes, his blue eyes glancing at her with a complex expression.

Whether she was overly protective of her son or simply too naive, there were several royal merfolk corpses nearby. They had a blood feud with the merfolk, so how could those people really let them go?

Similarly, once the Merfolk survive this calamity, they will not let these culprits go unpunished.

The tormented Xi Chong naturally heard his mother's words and, enduring the pain, managed to utter, "No, don't, say it..."

His father had told him that it was not only the treasure of the merfolk, but also the source of stability for the entire ocean world, and that it was absolutely indispensable.

"Chong'er, sob sob..." Another heartbreaking cry rang out.

The man in black robes grew impatient and snapped, "Shut up!" The crying abruptly stopped.

"So you have guts, then die!" With that, he was about to end Xi Chong's life.
