The Mermaid Princess waved the Divine Trident, and the pale blue bubble enveloping Ding Sha burst. He fell directly from the bubble and collapsed to the ground.

  Ding Hao released his Divine Senses and easily entered Ding Sha’s body with them. He found that Ding Sha’s body had been badly damaged by the power of the Sword Intent, and Ding Sha was now almost a useless man. Ding Sha’s sea of consciousness was messy and was like glue. Even if someone directly extracted Ding Sha’s memories with the magic arts of Divine Senses, he could not get anything.

  The most important thing was that the majestic shadow of the Supreme King in Ding Sha’s dantian had also disappeared, which meant that Ding Sha had lost the power of his bloodline.

  Ding Sha was indeed a useless man now.

  This type of injury couldn’t be cured even with magical elixirs.

  The Mermaid Princess of the Sea Clan looked delicate and weak, just like a harmless beauty in the neighborhood, but what she did was extremely vicious. It was crueler than killing Ding Sha.

  Ding Hao looked the woman up and down, and he was also a little on guard.

  Such a woman was really terrible.

  “Why did you do that?” asked Ding Hao with a frown.

  The Mermaid Princess said with a smile, “Ding Sha can’t die yet. I need to rely on him to draw support from the God’s Palace. If he dies, all my previous efforts will be wasted. However, there is deep hatred between you and him. It can’t be reconciled, so I can only treat him this way.”


  “Draw support from the God’s Palace?” With a stir of Ding Hao’s mind, he put away the divine sword Sky Attack and asked, “You are the princess of the Sea Clan. Your status is no lower than Ding Sha’s. Do you need to draw support from the God’s Palace?”


  The Mermaid Princess smiled sweetly and did not keep it a secret. She said, “Mr. Ding, there is something you may not know. Although the Sea Clan has a vast territory and countless masters, its influence is limited to the sea area. What I am looking for this time is not in the sea area. It is very likely that it has been lost somewhere on the continent. The Scepter Priest of our clan has divined that what we are looking for should be somewhere on the Eastern Continent. Therefore, I need to draw support from the God’s Palace.”


  “May I ask what you are looking for, Your Highness?” Ding Hao was a little curious. He said, “Maybe I have seen it before.”


  “It would be great if you are willing to help, Mr. Ding.” The Mermaid Princess looked very happy. She smiled sweetly and said, “To tell you the truth, we have been searching for a descendant of the Sea God, who has been missing for several hundred years. Two hundred years ago, the Sea God, namely the god of seven seas, died and left behind a descendant to inherit his power. That descendant should have become the next ruler of the seven seas as well as the Sea Clan, but unfortunately, for some unknown reason, he disappeared from the heavily-guarded Sea God’s Palace a hundred years ago. The Sea Clans of the seven seas searched everywhere but couldn’t find any trace of him. The only thing we’re certain of is that he is still alive because the fate stone belonging to gods in the Sea God’s Palace is still as bright as ever.”


  “The descendant of the Sea God?” Ding Hao was stunned. He didn’t expect there to be such a secret.

  A trace of worry appeared on the Mermaid Princess’s pure and beautiful face. She said, “Yes. We don’t know where His Majesty has gone, but in the past hundred years, because he had disappeared, the Sea Clans of the seven seas were suspecting and blaming each other. There were even ambitious people fanning the flames. War raged without end in almost the seven seas, and the citizens of the Sea Clans were suffering greatly. A year ago, the Scepter Priest of our clan divined with the strange phenomena that seven Divine Flaming Mountains in the seven seas erupted at the same time and that nine stars were aligned in the sky. He has found the clue that His Majesty should be in the Eastern Continent. That’s why I took the risk to leave the sea area to look for His Majesty.”


  Ding Hao slightly nodded. The Divine Senses of the Mind Essential told him that this woman was not lying.

  “You told me everything about such a secret,” said Ding Hao. “Aren’t you afraid that I will spread it out? I’m afraid that besides your clan, all the other Sea Clans from the seven seas will swarm here.”


  The Mermaid Princess smiled confidently and said, “I believe that you’re not that kind of person. I’ve had a strange ability since I was a child. I can see through people’s hearts and distinguish the traces. I can see that you’re not the kind of cunning person who will go back on his word.”


  Ding Hao smiled indifferently and said, “What a big compliment.”


  The Mermaid Princess did not care and continued, “His Majesty liked to disguise as a low-level person from the Sea Clan and to wander around. He looked very cute. He has not obtained full godhood, so he did not have much aggressivity. But his defensive ability was unparalleled in the world. The Peerless Crystal Prison can trap opponents who were many times more powerful than him.”


  “Peerless Crystal Prison?” Ding Hao was stunned and suddenly thought of a little child.

  The Mermaid Princess nodded and said, “Yes, it’s just like the bubble I used to trap Ding Sha, but I activated it with the help of the trident of the Sea God. His Majesty is much more skillful than me.”


  Ding Hao took a deep breath.

  He had already thought of something, but he didn’t show it. He said, “I see. I’ll pay attention to this for you.”


  The Mermaid Princess said, “Thank you very much, Mr. Ding. If you can really help us find His Majesty, you will be the benefactor of the Sea Clans of the seven seas. All the Sea Clans will thank you and we will do our best to repay you.”


  She knew very well that the situation on the Eastern Continent was changing. Although the God’s Palace was the most prominent force, its foundation had begun to shake. The camp of the Eldest Divine Prince Ding Shengtan, to which Ding Hao belonged, also had great potential that could not be underestimated. It was also a powerful force hidden everywhere on the continent. Receiving Ding Hao’s promise meant that there was a greater hope to find that descendant.

  As long as she could find that descendant, she was willing to pay any price.

  Ding Hao nodded and stopped talking about this topic. He changed the topic and said, “Take Ding Sha away with you. Don’t say a word about what happened tonight to anyone. I don’t want other people to know my identity.”


  “Don’t worry, Mr. Ding. I’m willing to swear on the glory of the Mermaid Clan’s sacrificial ceremony that I will never let a third person know this.” The princess made a vow.

  Ding Hao nodded. With a stir of his mind, the surrounding inscription tactical deployment consisting of Chinese characters disappeared. In a flash, he disappeared.

  Looking in the direction where Ding Hao disappeared, the Mermaid Princess breathed a sigh of relief.

  She didn’t expect that the bronze grimace mask man who had left her a deep impression several times had such a shocking identity.

  The Sea Clan had also heard about the incident 16 years ago. At that time, she was little. After hearing about it, she felt sorry for the Eldest Divine Prince who was a glamorous figure on the continent. She was angry about the despicable deeds of the 13th Divine Prince and the others. She felt even sorrier for the young genius. He was destined to become a supreme master, but he had been ruined before he could become one……

  That was only the simple idea of a child of the Mermaid Clan, who was not even four years old.

  In the 16 years, she experienced too many dark and secretive fights and grew up to be the most shining genius of the Mermaid Clan. The previous feelings had all faded away. When she thought about that incident as a grow-up, she couldn’t feel much about it. She could only feel the coldness of the law of the jungle in the world.

  She felt sorry for that boy when she was little, but she never would have thought that he would return and become so powerful.

  “Has he recovered his bloodline power?

  “Does he want to take back everything that had once belonged to him?

  “Is there really a cycle of grievances in the world? Could all the things that have been lost really be taken back?”


  The Mermaid Princess stayed on the stone peak, which was like a Demon Battlefield, for a short while. Then, she turned into a stream of flowing light and left the Saint-alighting Mountain Range with the unconscious Ding Sha.

  When Ding Hao returned to the bustling area of the city, many streets were still brightly lit.

  Ding Hao walked slowly on the street as if he were appreciating the scenery in the night.

  The night market on the street was still extremely noisy, and all sorts of hawking could be heard everywhere. Many open-air taverns were the busiest places, and roast meat and alcohol could arouse people’s interest the most. At this time, most of the people who appeared on the street were ferocious-looking and had sharp weapons on them.

  After the battle in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the army of the God’s Palace in the Stone Mouth Town had suffered a great blow, and its strength had been greatly damaged. In addition, the forces from all over the world had gathered together, so the God’s Palace also felt great pressure. Therefore, it simply canceled the night patrol in the Stone Mouth City and allowed the forces to fight openly as well as secretly. In this way, their strength would be consumed.

  The current Stone Mouth City could be truly regarded as a lawless place.

  Ding Hao walked slowly on the street, and he could feel the malicious eyes of the people coming from all directions. He now looked like a handsome and weak scholar, so people would want to bully him. Some people were already eager to try.

  “Have you heard of it? A Primordial Concentrated Ore has appeared and there is a widespread excitement over this issue in the Stone Mouth City.” A group of robust men were drinking wine and chatting in a tavern by the side of the road.

  “This is something that happened many days ago. The forces used all sorts of methods but were unable to find the mysterious man who had obtained the Primordial Concentrated Ore. But by taking advantage of this issue, some people have done a few great things,” said another man, who looked well-informed, while curling his mouth into a smile.

  “Well? Tell me about it.”


  “Well, my throat is a little itchy. I’d better not say it.”


  “Mr. Yang, you can’t do so. You’re tantalizing us. Waiter, give us another jar of superior Lady Red. Mr. Yang, I’ll treat you to good wine. Tell us what are the great things occurring.”


  “Well, how can I accept this? OK, I’ll tell you. The first great thing is related to the mysterious Hades Ghost Sect. I heard that the successor of this mysterious underground force has come to the Stone Mouth City and has fought with the young genius of the God’s Palace, Thunder Roar. The two sides are in a tie……” said Mr. Yang mysteriously.

  The others all listened with their eyes wide open.

  This was indeed the first time they had heard of such a thing. The Hades Ghost Sect was a terrifying force. It had always been hostile to the God’s Palace, but it had not been annihilated, which was enough to prove its strength. Now that the successor of the Hades Ghost Sect had come out, was it going to confront the God’s Palace head-on?
