Chapter 294: Shen Qing Wants to Exterminate Completely
Under Shen Qing's gaze, Yuan Hou's throat twitched slightly; as a fish-person, he had a special sense for danger, he felt it, and if his answer later was not good enough, he might really die.
This sir, I am Yuan Hou of the Blue Abyss Empire; we are attacking Wo Country not because we want to attack a human nation, but because we have a grudge against Wo Country, and we have no intention of setting foot in any other human territories.
Among the people there have always been rumors of a sea-beast kingdom in the deep sea; most people don't believe it, but according to the Shen clan's records, the Sea Beast Empire has always existed and there are not a few of them, yet Shen Qing has never even heard of this Blue Abyss Empire.
It's probably just a tiny empire in some remote corner.
Sea beasts are also ferocious beasts; in terms of ferocity they far exceed humans, so battles are more frequent and regimes change quickly; a short-lived empire might be destroyed by other sea beasts in just a few days.
Shen Qing looked at Yuan Hou and said: "What grudge do you have between you?"
Yuan Hou hurriedly replied: "It's like this; our Martial Saint has been fighting evil cults year after year, but when I returned to this sea area this time I discovered that a large expanse of the surrounding seawater had become different."
Inside there seems to be a strange substance; usually we can't sense it, but it seems we can absorb it into our bodies, and our newborn offspring have been affected, becoming deformed.
If it weren't for my merfolk clan's keen senses, I wouldn't even be able to detect the existence of this substance.
Later, after I investigated, I discovered that Wo Country was discharging a black liquid into the water, so I then allied with several neighboring empires to attack Wo Country.
Saying this, Yuan Hou lowered his head to look at the sea beast below and said: "Bring over that bottle of black liquid."
The sea beast below also witnessed Shen Qing's terror and knew its boss was seeking an opportunity; none dared to linger, a Primordial Elixir Realm octopus immediately dove into the sea, ran to that carriage, opened a box beside the throne, took out a glass bottle, and through the bottle one could see a bottle of violent black liquid.
Shen Qing took the bottle and felt a weak familiar energy.
This black liquid contains an extremely weak destructive power.
Destructive power is after all the supreme power of the evil cult's heavenly way; even after being diluted by seawater, its lethal power against life remains deadly.
It seems the connection between these Wo pirates and the evil cult is deeper than I imagined.
Shen Qing looked at Yuan Hou, voice flat: "As you can see, our purpose in coming here is also to exterminate the Wo."
We can cooperate.
Yuan Hou let out a breath, feeling delighted; he had already witnessed Shen Qing's strength earlier, and with Shen Qing joining, their chances of exterminating the Wo would greatly increase.
Otherwise, relying only on the Martial Saints of those few Sea Beast Empires would hardly be able to oppose the Wo Country's Martial Saint fifth layer.
But Shen Qing's next sentence left Yuan Hou silent; only then did Shen Qing speak.
I want your people, including those of the other empires, to obey my command.
Yuan Hou and the few Primordial Elixir Realm cultivators stared at each other.
Zhang Dao Yi saw their hesitation and said directly: "Don't overthink it; you're just running around like headless flies, which will disrupt our rhythm."
Zhang Dao Yi then added another sentence that pierced Yuan Hou's heart: "Moreover, killing you is no different from killing chicks; if we really want to kill you, we can just strike directly."
Moreover, didn't you hear him? He just said there are many of the Great Wu Shen Clan?
Yuan Hou immediately thought of the Shen clan ancestor.
Those three sentences in a row left Yuan Hou stunned; indeed, they possess absolute strength and absolute background—if they wanted to harm him, why would they need any roundabout means?
Yuan Hou lowered his head: "I understand; we will obey your command."
Shen Qing said: "No need to force it; are you sure the people of the other few Sea Beast Empires will also obey?"
Yuan Hou nodded: "No problem, I will make it clear to them."
Shen Qing turned and flew toward the inland of Great Island: "Once you have made it clear to them, all your sea beasts should form an encirclement, slowly approach the Wo Country coastline, there must be no gaps in the coastline; you may advance slowly, but I do not want any Wo pirate to escape from your line—understood?"
The words of his voice made Yuan Hou shudder—no Wo pirate may escape?
At this moment Yuan Hou understood: Shen Qing was not planning a simple conquest of the country; he intended to exterminate them completely!
Yuan Hou raised his head to look at Shen Qing, voice trembling: "Yes."
Shen Qing's voice came: "Do it well; I will not let you down."
Yuan Hou quickly gave the order; shortly afterward, a blue whale below let out a low roar, its terrifying sound spreading in all directions, and not long after another blue whale's howl came from far away.
Shen Qing also turned his head to glance at the blue whale.
This creature was already somewhat unreasonable in my previous life—enormous body, immune to cancer, and its voice can travel hundreds of kilometers underwater; in this world where cultivation is possible, this blue whale is even more unreasonable.
In the sea there are basically no natural enemies; even a dragon with horns must wary of the blue whale by three parts, meaning the blue whale's numbers are equally rare; according to the Shen clan's historical records, there is a blue whale kingdom in the sea, but even if such a kingdom exists, the number of blue whales within it is only a few hundred.
Oh.
Of course, in this world the blue whale is not called a blue whale; it is generally called Kun.
Soon, through the blue whale's transmission, Shen Qing's order quickly reached the ears of the leaders of the other few empires; although they were puzzled, the prestige of the Shen clan ancestor was still widespread among the sea beasts.
So no one wanted to invite misfortune; they all obediently complied.
Meanwhile, Shen Qing and his two companions were quickly approaching the inland of Great Island, where the Wo pirates had their largest city on the island.
But just as they neared this place, Shen Qing sensed a third-layer Martial Saint Realm aura.
Shen Qing glanced at Zhang Dao Yi and Cha Hun: "You two deal with the others; that third-layer Martial Saint Realm opponent I will handle."
It's rare to encounter a worthy opponent; this time Shen Qing does not intend to gang up on him.
Mainly, recently he has had too many techniques go unused, and besides he has broken through to the third layer, needing someone for Shen Qing to test his feel.
The newly comprehended Slaughter State needs no mention; furthermore, the Blade Dao Domain and Destructive Power—these two great killing moves Shen Qing still needs to find someone to test the waters with.
This third-layer Martial Saint Realm is just right.
Let himself try a killing move.
