Chapter 1276: As You Wish

Ever since he had latched onto the Mermaid Princess as his backer.

Wang Jianqiang had not bothered to give a second thought to that small fry, Haishan.

Over the next few days, he constantly roamed all over Huanling City, secretly scouting for information on the Ocean Heart.

After some inquiries.

He finally identified a place suspected of housing the Ocean Heart... the Phantom Spirit Realm.

The Phantom Spirit Realm is a Treasure Land passed down within the Mermaid Clan since ancient times, and it is the undisputed number one Treasure Land of the Mermaid Clan.

Within it, there is a rich concentration of water essence and moon essence.

These two types of power happen to correspond to what the Mermaid Clan needs for cultivation.

If a Mermaid Clan Cultivator can enter it to cultivate, the benefits are immense.

The coexistence of rich water power and moon power happens to meet the conditions for the birth of an Ocean Heart.

However.

The location of the entrance to the Phantom Spirit Realm has always been a secret.

Only the highest authorities of the Mermaid Clan through the ages have known it.

To enter it, one must pass through the Mermaid Empress.

Thinking of this.

Information regarding the Mermaid Empress flashed through Wang Jianqiang's mind.

The rulers of the Mermaid Clan through the ages were actually all succeeded by the Mermaid Prince.

Originally, the Imperial Lord of the Mermaid Clan was the previous generation's Mermaid Prince.

But that previous Mermaid Prince had very bad luck; not long after he ascended to the throne, the Mermaid Clan suddenly encountered a great crisis.

During this crisis, the previous Mermaid Prince fell, and along with him, many of the Mermaid Clan's powerhouses also perished.

Just as the Mermaid Clan was tottering in the wind and rain.

The previous Mermaid Princess stood out and led the Mermaid Clan through the difficulties.

She was jointly elected by all the Mermaid Clan Cultivators as the new Mermaid Clan Imperial Lord.

She became the first Empress in the history of the Mermaid Clan.

To be able to lead the Mermaid Clan out of crisis and develop to this day, and to be able to go alone to intercept the powerhouses of the Octopus Clan and return safely...

This Mermaid Empress must certainly have remarkable means.

Trying to obtain the opportunity to enter the Phantom Spirit Realm from such a figure is likely not simple.

Wang Jianqiang frowned and pondered for a moment.

He shook his head and turned to head back toward his residence.

Regardless, at least his goal was now clear.

Next, he only needed to find a way to enter the Phantom Spirit Realm.

Just as Wang Jianqiang was halfway there, two voices discussing something suddenly reached his ears.

"Have you heard? Honghe had a conflict with Haishan and was caught by Haishan, who forcibly took her back to his home to make her a bed-warming maid."

"Hiss, that really happened? Is Haishan that bold? Isn't he afraid of being reported and suffering clan sanctions?"

"Who would dare report him? Don't forget whose descendant Haishan is."

"If he were reported, he would indeed be sanctioned, but the crime wouldn't be punishable by death. Once Haishan finishes his punishment, wouldn't one have to face Haishan's retaliation?"

"Tsk tsk, Honghe is a famous beauty in our Black Scale Lineage, what a pity."

Wang Jianqiang frowned, his gaze glancing toward the roadside.

Two figures were huddled together.

The previous words had come precisely from these two people.

Upon seeing them, a sense of contempt arose in Wang Jianqiang's heart.

These two appeared to be discussing it unintentionally, but while speaking, their eyes were glancing at him from time to time.

It was obvious they were saying it on purpose for him to hear.

This acting was a bit too clumsy.

A cold sneer appeared on his face, and as if he hadn't heard them, he continued walking forward.

The two on the roadside were stunned when they saw this.

"He actually isn't angry!"

"Isn't it rumored that he and Honghe are in love? Why is he so calm after hearing that Honghe is in danger?"

One person stared at "Tianyu's" back, looking puzzled.

"Could it be..."

"That we revealed a flaw?"

The other person spoke hesitantly.

The first person to speak frowned, "Impossible, our performance just now didn't have the slightest flaw; he couldn't have seen through us."

"However, a cold sneer seemed to appear on his face just now; he must have guessed through other channels we don't know about that we are working for Young Master Shan."

"Then what do we do?" The other person frowned deeply, "Young Master Shan gave this task to us; if we mess it up, not to mention not getting the benefits, I'm afraid it will be hard to cling to Young Master Shan in the future."

The first person to speak nodded solemnly upon hearing this, then gritted his teeth fiercely, "Even if he guessed we are working for Young Master Shan, it doesn't matter."

"Although we are luring him into the trap, what we said isn't entirely false."

"Since that's the case, we'll just tell him clearly."

"It is rumored that Tianyu and Honghe have deep feelings; with Honghe in danger, Tianyu has no reason not to care."

"As long as we let him know that Honghe has already gone to Young Master Shan's residence, he will take the bait."

The other person heard this, and their eyes lit up, "Good, let's do it that way."

The next moment.

The two figures flashed, catching up to Wang Jianqiang in the blink of an eye and blocking his path directly.

Wang Jianqiang paused his steps, looked at the two, and a mocking expression appeared on his face, "What? Seeing that I didn't fall for it, you're prepared to use force?"

"Is Haishan so out of people that he found these two idiots to handle things?"

Hearing Tianyu's nearly caustic tone, the two men's expressions turned awkward.

One of them took a deep breath and sneered, "Hmph, Tianyu, don't get too cocky."

"What we said before was not a lie."

"Honghe has truly been taken by Haishan to his own residence; if you don't go, Honghe will start warming the bed for Young Master Shan."

Wang Jianqiang heard this and let out a cold laugh, "I am very busy and have no time to deal with you."

As he spoke, he prepared to walk around the side of the two.

The two frowned, shifted sideways, and blocked Wang Jianqiang's path once again.

"You don't believe it?"

"I will let you see right now whether what I said is true or false."

The person who had just spoken flipped their palm and took out an Image Recording Stone.

Wang Jianqiang frowned.

He looked into the Image Recording Stone, and immediately, an image appeared within it.

The first thing to appear in the image was a building.

Immediately after.

Haishan walked into the frame, and in his arms, he was holding a woman in red who was struggling incessantly.

Seeing this scene, Wang Jianqiang shook his head inwardly.

Before, he had deliberately pretended to see through the two and ignored them.

He just didn't want to deal with Haishan and wanted to save some energy.

But now...

He had no choice but to deal with it.

Honghe was Tianyu's close female friend.

If he remained indifferent after seeing this scene, it would be too inconsistent with Tianyu's persona.

Haishan, is it?

Since you want to seek death so badly.

Then I shall grant your wish.
