"Did they specifically say where to attack? When to attack?"
Huo Yuhao then asked the little mermaid in front of him, who had the clear-eyed naiveté of a college student.
The mermaid fanned her large golden tail, her azure eyes revealing an embarrassed expression.
She said, "Which one? I'm not quite sure."
"Mother didn't tell us these things, after all, we're not going there."
Huo Yuhao didn't expect her to know anything.
This mermaid princess was clearly pampered by her clan, and any bad news was usually stopped by her elders, who didn't want her to worry about the continuation of the species.
"Lord of the Far North, let me tell you about this."
A voice that was seven parts similar to Liya's, but more mature, echoed on the empty and lonely icy sea.
The distant ice layer cracked inch by inch, and a huge amount of seawater arched high, forming a sea mountain.
A mermaid in the form of a middle-aged beauty, the kind of woman Cao Cao loved, stood on the sea mountain.
Her golden crown shone brightly in the intense sunlight of the Far North, and the golden scales on her fish tail shimmered.
The Sea Princess bowed slightly to Huo Yuhao. Before the arrival of the evil soul master, the mermaid race highly regarded the status of the Lord of the Far North.
At this moment, in the command room of the Sailor Moon, Roger and the crew stared blankly at the terrifying soul power fluctuations that suddenly appeared on the soul power radar.
The radar was like a small sun suddenly appearing, making the Mermaid Princess and other ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts pale in comparison.
Among all the soul power fluctuation records, only Di Tian's soul power fluctuations were consistently superior, fully demonstrating just how terrifying the newcomer's strength was.
Even looking at the entire ocean, the Sea Princess's cultivation was among the best.
If there were a ranking of ferocious beasts in the ocean, the Sea Princess would be in the top seven, if not the top five.
While there are indeed many hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the ocean, it doesn't mean there are many ferocious beasts. Ocean soul beasts are actually inferior to those on land in terms of bloodline.
Their prosperity is mainly due to the benefits of the ocean.
The ocean is larger than land, has richer resources, and hasn't yet experienced intensive cultivation by humans, naturally leading to a surge in the number of hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts.
However, becoming a ferocious beast is not so easy; the Heavenly Tribulation doesn't discriminate between land and sea spirit beasts.
The Sea God also lacks the power to interfere with the Heavenly Tribulation, leading to the frequent demise of weaker sea spirit beasts.
The number of ferocious beasts on the sea is far too small compared to the vast number of hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts.
Of course, in terms of sheer numbers, ferocious beasts still annihilate those on land; the sheer number is undeniable.
Huo Yuhao dispersed the enormous seawater hand, releasing the mermaid princess Liya and the other four mermaids.
After all, their mother was right there, and holding them any longer would be impolite.
The sea princess gave Huo Yuhao a grateful look, then glared fiercely at Liya below. This girl really dared to go anywhere.
Those giant ships looked dangerous, yet she charged straight through without restraining her spirit power and aura.
The sea princess cleared her throat and clearly recounted the recent activities of the Sea God's family to Huo Yuhao.
"Some time ago, the Sea God Clan issued orders to the sea through a divine artifact."
"They demanded that all sea areas send their soul beasts to assemble in the northeastern sea."
"They intend to launch another counterattack against the continent."
"This time, their target is the Douling Empire. As far as I know, millions of sea soul beasts have already gathered there, and many beast kings have already gone." "
Although I was very reluctant, it was a divine decree, and I intercepted the Ice Sea's order with my mental power."
"The Ice Sea has no intention of participating in maritime conflicts, and the Sea God Clan is certainly not benevolent towards us."
Huo Yuhao then asked,
"Do you know the specific time and location of the raid?"
The Sea Princess shook her head.
"I don't know, that's all the information I have."
"The Sea God Clan suspects there are spies within their ranks.
After all, their raid plan was exposed last time, and the Star Luo Empire was clearly prepared in advance."
"So this time they've revealed very little information."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao almost couldn't hold back.
They even suspected their undercover agents had arrived—it was as ridiculous as MI5 investigating the KGB.
"The Sea God family is truly restless. Since you acknowledge me as the Lord of the Far North, I will not treat you unfairly."
"I will also have the planetary will reduce the power of the tribulation here by thirty percent." "
From now on, the Ice Sea and the Far North will never be separated."
The Sea Princess was overjoyed. She had long coveted the fact that the tribulation power of land-based soul beasts could be reduced by thirty percent. With
the tribulation power reduced by thirty percent, countless sea soul beasts could overcome that tribulation.
Her eldest daughter would then have a chance to survive the two hundred thousand year tribulation.
The eldest princess of the Mermaid Clan did not inherit the golden bloodline; even surviving the two hundred thousand year tribulation was uncertain.
Now, with the tribulation power reduced by thirty percent, the Sea Princess was confident that her eldest daughter could survive the tribulation.
"Your Majesty, please be sure to stay in our Mermaid Clan's territory for a while!"
"The entire Mermaid Clan, from top to bottom, eagerly awaits your arrival."
"I will mobilize the sea soul beasts to provide a continuous supply of materials for your fleet."
The Sea Princess immediately changed her address to "Emperor," her change of face was as swift as lightning, truly befitting a pragmatic clan.
Huo Yuhao considered it for a moment and didn't refuse the Sea Princess's invitation, instructing Roger to follow her to the extremely mysterious merfolk settlement.
...
"I suspect there's a spy among us!"
In a dimly lit room at the Sea God family's temporary settlement, a group of people sat around a round table.
Chen Hanhai, at the head of the table, rested his chin on his hands, looking seriously at the people on either side.
The aura of a Limit Douluo permeated the room, putting immense pressure on everyone.
The people around the round table exchanged bewildered glances. Sea Dragon Douluo leaned back, pointing at himself, and said,
"Brother! You know me."
"I've sacrificed everything for the family, I couldn't possibly be a spy!"
Sea Demon Douluo immediately chimed in,
"Brother! You know me."
"My husband has nothing left but style, and with our love, I could never be a spy!"
Sea Cry Douluo glanced around, swallowed hard, and said,
"Don't look at me!"
"I've risked my life for the family! I fought to the death in Star Luo City, never retreating!"
"I was just short of fighting to the very last moment, even committing suicide."
Chen Hanhai silently looked at his son, Chen Hanyun.
Chen Hanyun's eyes widened, staring at his father with disbelief.
Then he knelt on the ground and said,
"Father! You know me!"
"I have no ambition in life, I only want to roam the seas!"
"I would never betray the family!"
Sea God Douluo looked around; everywhere he looked were loyal subjects, not a single traitor.
He said calmly,
"I see now. You all possess extraordinary skills."
"You're all loyal subjects, not a single traitor among you!"
"Let me be frank, there are only a few of us here, all key members of the family. I suspect I'm an undercover agent."
Everyone leaned back in unison. Chen Hanyun, the dim-witted fellow, exclaimed with delight,
"Father, you're an undercover agent?!"
"Hey, you should have said so earlier!"
"Actually, I've been a mainlander for a long time!"
"Father, when do we make our move? Now?!"
Chen Hanyun looked at the surrounding crowd with a dangerous gaze, unaware of Chen Hanhai's clenched fists.
"Boom!"
Chen Hanhai suddenly swung his fist, striking Chen Hanyun squarely in the face. His face visibly caved in, and he flew backward.
"You unfilial son! You good-for-nothing!"
"Go and reflect on your actions before the Sea God statue!"
He calmed himself slightly and addressed Sea Dragon Douluo and the others:
"The day to avenge our humiliation is approaching."
"Our clan's spies have already landed and scouted the area. There are no those damned soul tools on the Douling Empire's coastline."
"Not even a single garrison!"
"But! We cannot be careless! The soul masters on land are extremely wicked!"
"Even if there are only ants guarding the shore, crush them to dust with your strongest attacks!"
"This time, we cannot afford any more heavy casualties!"
"All Title Douluos, lead the way!"
"Sea Demon, you watch from the rear. Anyone who dares to retreat or slack off, let them commit suicide!"
