Chapter 1266: Trouble

The outside world.

Above the White Jade Sedan, space twisted for a moment.

The next instant.

A figure, ethereal as an immortal, stepped out from the White Jade Sedan.

Seeing this flawless, stunning figure, a flash of amazement crossed the eyes of the Thirteenth Ancestor of the Octopus Clan.

"Rumor has it that this generation's Mermaid Princess is peerlessly beautiful, hailed as the most beautiful in history, but it is a pity I never had the chance to see her."

"Seeing her today, the reputation is well-deserved."

"Moreover, I even feel that the rumors were not exaggerated, but rather, they were somewhat too modest."

The Thirteenth Ancestor of the Octopus Clan let his gaze roam over the Mermaid Princess without restraint.

The Mermaid Princess frowned, her eyes cold, and she did not speak.

The Thirteenth Ancestor of the Octopus Clan did not mind, smiling faintly as he continued, "I have always been a man who cherishes the fair and protects the delicate."

"It would be a pity if such a beauty were to fall here."

"Hand over the Mermaid Tear, and I can let you follow by my side and spare your life."

Upon hearing this, a flash of shame and anger crossed the beautiful eyes of the Mermaid Princess, "A dignified Great Vehicle Stage Cultivator is actually so frivolous; no wonder your Octopus Clan has been notorious for so many years."

Hearing the words of the Mermaid Princess, the Thirteenth Ancestor of the Octopus Clan seemed to have been poked in a sore spot.

A look of brutality flashed across his face, "I did not expect that such a beauty as the Mermaid Princess could say such hurtful things."

"It seems the Princess has already made her choice."

"Since that is the case, do not blame me for not knowing how to cherish the fair and protect the delicate."

"Rest assured, after I capture you, I will not execute you immediately; this is the basic respect I have for a peerless beauty like you."

Having said this, the Ancestor of the Octopus Clan smiled eerily.

He pressed his palm forward abruptly.

A tentacle, like a long whip, instantly extended from his palm, stabbing toward the Mermaid Princess like a sharp long spear.

Seeing this, the Mermaid Princess's expression instantly turned grave.

She flipped her palm and took out a Pill.

The Pill was quite peculiar, grey-black in its entirety, yet crystalline and translucent as if ground from Jade Stone.

Within it were dotted specks of Spirit Light, like stars in the sky scattered throughout the Pill.

At a glance, this Pill looked like a miniature universe.

"The Mermaid Clan's unique Pill, the Profound Star Treasure Pill!"

The moment he saw this Pill, the Thirteenth Ancestor of the Octopus Clan raised his eyebrows.

The Profound Star Treasure Pill was a unique Pill of the Mermaid Clan that only took effect on Mermaid Clan bloodlines, and its effects were astonishing.

However, the production of this Pill was extremely low.

Even he had not seen a Mermaid Clan Cultivator consume this Pill for a very long time.

Whether the Mermaid Clan could even still produce this Pill had become an unknown.

He had not expected that this Mermaid Princess would actually possess this Pill.

Just as the Thirteenth Ancestor of the Octopus Clan wore a look of surprise, the Mermaid Princess had already swallowed the Profound Star Treasure Pill in one gulp.

After swallowing the Profound Star Treasure Pill.

The aura on her body surged instantly.

It climbed all the way from Integration Stage Perfection to the level of Void Refinement Late Stage.

She sat cross-legged on the spot.

An ancient zither appeared on her lap.

Her ten slender fingers plucked at the strings, and bursts of zither music spread out.

As the zither music began to ring out.

A peculiar power instantly permeated the area.

The auras of the three dragon-horses surged.

Roar~

The three dragon-horses roared.

From their single horns, a beam of light shot out from each.

After the three beams of light were shot out, they quickly merged into one, and then...

Collided with the tentacle that had stabbed over like a long spear.

Boom!

Amidst a thunderous roar, the surrounding seawater was instantly cleared away by the powerful force of the explosion.

The three dragon-horses, along with the White Jade Sedan, were sent flying backward by the impact.

The Mermaid Princess flashed and appeared on top of the White Jade Sedan.

She remained in a cross-legged posture.

Her fair, slender fingers plucked the strings rapidly, the speed so fast that afterimages appeared.

The zither melody became increasingly high-pitched as it spread out.

It transformed into a tangible force, emerging in layers like water ripples behind the three dragon-horses.

It quickly neutralized and dissipated the force they were bearing.

"Eh?"

Seeing that his near-sneak attack had been blocked, the Thirteenth Ancestor of the Octopus Clan could not help but reveal a look of astonishment.

It is rumored that the current Mermaid Princess cultivates the path of Qin Music, and her talent in this path is extremely astonishing.

Now it seems that the rumors are indeed true.

He is a Great Vehicle Stage Cultivator, after all.

Not to mention a sneak attack, even in a direct confrontation.

It would be absolutely impossible for the three Dragon Horses to receive his strike unscathed.

From this, one can see just how great the amplification of the Mermaid Princess's qin music is for the three Dragon Horses!

The Thirteenth Ancestor of the Octopus Clan stared at the Mermaid Princess's stunning figure, the expression in his eyes growing increasingly fervent.

As expected of the one hailed as the most talented Mermaid Princess in the history of the Mermaid Clan.

The reputation is well-deserved.

Her appearance and talent are both impeccable.

This Mermaid Princess is truly Superior Grade.

Even when encountering those brilliant and stunning female Great Vehicle Stage Cultivators, he had never felt such a sense of excitement.

He stared at the Mermaid Princess and spoke again.

"I can give you one more chance: voluntarily concede and submit to me."

"I will not kill you."

The Mermaid Princess ignored the Thirteenth Ancestor and instead sent a command to the three Dragon Horses.

"Find an opportunity to escape."

Upon receiving the Mermaid Princess's order, the three Dragon Horses instantly fled.

"Trying to escape?"

The Thirteenth Ancestor sneered and pressed his palm forward.

In an instant.

This Sea Region seemed to be soaked in ink, instantly turning into a patch of darkness.

The Mermaid Princess's vision went dark, and her sight and perception were severely obstructed.

She frowned, "Stop."

Following her order, the three Dragon Horses stopped fleeing.

The Mermaid Princess remained seated on the White Jade Sedan, frowning as she surveyed her surroundings.

At this moment, her expression had become grave.

"It is the Ten Thousand Tentacle Demon Domain!"

Only those with the royal bloodline of the Octopus Clan can cultivate the Ten Thousand Tentacle Demon Domain.

This rule is not to restrict the ordinary bloodlines of the Octopus Clan, but because only the royal bloodline can successfully refine it.

Therefore.

Even among the Great Vehicle Stage Cultivators of the Octopus Clan, not every one of them has cultivated this Ten Thousand Tentacle Demon Domain.

Among the original seventeen Great Vehicle Stage Cultivators of the Octopus Clan.

Only seven have cultivated the Ten Thousand Tentacle Demon Domain.

This Thirteenth Ancestor is precisely one of them.

At this moment.

She has already been sealed within the Ten Thousand Tentacle Demon Domain.

To escape, one must first break the Ten Thousand Tentacle Demon Domain.

But...

As the strongest power symbolizing the royal family of the Octopus Clan, this Ten Thousand Tentacle Demon Domain is extremely powerful.

Even for a Cultivator who is also at the Great Vehicle Early Stage, wanting to break this demon domain is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

If she wants to break it, how could it be easy?

This is troublesome!
