Chapter 1213: The Terror Of The Heavenly Dragon Mer

Crab Emperor had no doubt that his performance was flawless, without any mistakes or loopholes. It was only natural that Shi Tianchuan was successfully subdued. However, Yi Xiansheng's reaction was completely unexpected!

No matter who it was, being sincerely praised by someone they just met shouldn't elicit such a bland response!

His tone was too indifferent, devoid of any warmth, and even carried a hint of dismissiveness, clearly perfunctory.

As a ten-thousand-year-old monster, how could Crab Emperor not sense these subtle nuances?

This was all too strange!

Could it be that Yi Xiansheng still harbored doubts about him?

Or perhaps...

Had his identity been seen through by Yi Xiansheng?

In order to disguise himself as a human, he hadn't dared to emit even a trace of his sea clan aura!

If that were truly the case, it would be terrifying!

What level of cultivation and insight must Yi Xiansheng possess!?

Sss...

Crab Emperor's heart pounded, and he increasingly felt that Yi Xiansheng was unfathomable!

Originally, he had been on high alert, but now his vigilance had doubled. He felt as if he were walking on thin ice, never having encountered such a terrifying sense of pressure before!

The other two were even more frightened, their hearts in their throats!

Crab Emperor's performance had been absolutely perfect, even reaching a stunning level. If it were them, they could never have achieved such a feat.

Yet, even so, they still couldn't earn Yi Xiansheng's trust!

This person was truly terrifying!

No wonder he was the master of Lord Skeleton!

In reality.

Yi Feng hadn't noticed anything amiss; he was just feeling a bit speechless.

Suddenly, three enthusiastic old men appeared, exuding an imposing aura, clearly capable fighters. It was obvious they were here to cause trouble!

Perhaps even the Heavenly Dragon Mermaid Clan wouldn't be able to handle them!

What a mess!

What was even more infuriating was that these people had come with good intentions to help, and he couldn't find any fault with them. It was like being a mute who had eaten bitter herbs—unable to voice the bitterness.

In such a situation, how could Yi Feng possibly be enthusiastic?

Maybe he should find an opportunity to spar with these three old men?

As he pondered this to himself.

Shi Tianchuan, unaware of the underlying dynamics between the two sides, respectfully extended his hand in invitation.

Once the three were seated at the front, it immediately drew respectful salutes from those around, and the joy of impending victory became even more palpable in the grand hall.

Seeing everyone so excited, Yi Feng felt a headache coming on.

What kind of world is this?

Even fighting to the death has people lining up for it!

He couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder.

Beside him, a sigh also sounded.

"Ah..."

Turning towards the sound.

Shi Tianchuan wore a grave expression, seemingly burdened with worries.

Recalling earlier.

This island lord seemed to have implied that things weren't as simple as they appeared?

Yi Feng grew more and more curious, unable to resist speaking up.

"Island Lord."

"With the assistance of these three, why do you still look so worried?"

As soon as Yi Feng spoke, it naturally drew the attention of everyone in the hall.

The grand hall fell silent.

Curious gazes converged.

Shi Tianchuan struggled for a moment before solemnly clasping his fists.

"Sir, you are unaware."

"Logically speaking, with your assistance and the arrival of these three seniors today, our chances against the Heavenly Dragon Mermaid Clan should have greatly increased, and I should be brimming with confidence."

"But the power of the Heavenly Dragon Mermaid Clan is terrifying, far from as simple as it appears on the surface!"

With that, Shi Tianchuan gritted his teeth and stood up.

"Everyone, I'm not trying to boost the morale of another clan while dampening our own, but the previous envoys from the Heavenly Dragon Mermaid Clan, though formidable, were merely of average strength. Their true combat power far exceeds what you know!"

As soon as he finished speaking, murmurs of discussion broke out in the hall.

"Is the Heavenly Dragon Mermaid Clan really that powerful?"

"That's right, with Sir Yi and the three reclusive seniors helping us, times have changed. Are we still afraid of them?"

"Island Lord, aren't you exaggerating?"

"Island Lord, have you been scared out of your wits by the mermaids?!"

Several less experienced individuals retorted, and Shi Tianchuan's temper flared.

Since these people didn't understand the depth of the situation, he might as well lay out the truth.

It's better to scare them off than to have them blindly overconfident and suffer a crushing defeat!

Having made up his mind, Shi Tianchuan coldly scanned the room.

"You are wrong!"

"The Heavenly Dragon Mermaid Clan possesses the bloodline of true dragons, and their combat power soars when they are in the sea. Their clan has a strict hierarchy, with not only the most powerful royal family but also many generals with terrifying talents."

"If it were the past, any one of them could annihilate our seventy-two islands in the blink of an eye!"

As his heavy words echoed, the hall gradually fell silent.

Shi Tianchuan's cold voice continued, his tone growing even more grave!

"As for the royal lineage of the Heavenly Dragon Mermaid Clan, they are even more terrifying!"

"Take, for example, the third prince who rules over our seventy-two islands. His depth of strategy is something I've rarely seen in my lifetime, and his cultivation talent is monstrous. He commands an army of a hundred thousand, with over a hundred generals!"

"Among them, Ao Chang is the most terrifying. With his dreadful talent, he managed to earn the royal surname despite being from a collateral line. It's said he has already reached the eighth rank!"

"Even so, he is only a standout among the younger generation, still far behind the true royal lineage!"

"Even if we, with the help of Sir Yi and the three seniors, manage to defeat such a fearsome existence, the Dragon Emperor Ao Budong behind them is someone we can hardly look up to!"

"That Dragon Emperor reached the ninth rank ten thousand years ago! We will inevitably face such a terrifying being, and the lives of millions of cultivators on the seventy-two islands are in our hands!"

"Now, do you still have any pride left?!"

His cold words reverberated, and the hall fell into complete silence.

The previous excitement and smiles vanished, and a shadow seemed to fall over everyone's hearts, leaving them too shocked to speak!

Only now did many realize the island lord's predicament!

Facing such a behemoth alone, yet never mentioning a word to outsiders, enduring the hardship for ten thousand years—the difficulty was unimaginable!

Seeing the island lord's grave expression.

Everyone felt a mix of emotions, with bitterness and shock intertwined in their eyes, and a heavy atmosphere permeated the grand hall!

Even the three sea clan giants now viewed Shi Tianchuan in a new light.

With his weak cultivation and status, to have learned these secrets and maintained stability for ten thousand years, he was indeed a remarkable talent!

Only Yi Feng.

Hearing such shocking revelations, felt a glimmer of hope reignite in his heart!

Good heavens...

So the mermaids are this powerful, no wonder the island lord has been biding his time until now!

This battle definitely still has potential!

Seeing Yi Feng's calm expression, someone mustered the courage to boost morale.

"But, but we have Sir Yi now, and the three seniors. In the future, we might have even more powerful allies. This battle might not be as hopeless as we think against the Heavenly Dragon Mermaid Clan!"

"After all these years of enduring, it's time to hold our heads high for once..."

As soon as these words were spoken.

The previously silent hall once again buzzed with activity.

An inexplicable sense of overconfidence began to brew once more.

Even the North Sea Emperor, sitting on the sidelines, couldn't bear to listen any longer. He never expected the island's cultivators to be so foolish, actually fantasizing about more outsiders coming to their aid?

They were truly like mud, relying solely on others to lift them up!

No wonder, with a talent like Shi Tianchuan, the seventy-two islands of the East Sea had been biding their time for ten thousand years, yet no genius had risen to lead a rebellion.

With such a poor hand, even a gambling god would be of no use.

As he sat there helplessly.

Shi Tianchuan was already fuming, pointing at a corner and cursing loudly!

"You think you're so clever!"

"You want to hold your head high?!"

"Let me tell you something harsh. Our East Sea is a remote corner, and it's the territory of the sea clans. Those like Sir Yi and the three seniors who come to our aid are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Stop dreaming about more reinforcements coming!"

"Even harsher is that the Heavenly Dragon Mermaid Clan has an extensive network and can summon powerful allies in an instant!"

"Leaving others aside..."

"Just the legendary North Sea Emperor alone surpasses the entire combat power of the Heavenly Dragon Mermaid Clan. If he were to be invited out of seclusion, we might as well prepare to meet our doom together!"

His curses echoed.

The hall fell into dead silence, but the North Sea Emperor sitting beside him suddenly shuddered!
