Chapter 1279: The Princess Arrives

The tall, thin Elder frowned as he glanced at Haishan and his two lackeys.

The three men's sound transmission had not escaped his notice.

After hearing the content of their transmission, he could not help but curse inwardly.

Haishan had patted his chest and guaranteed everything beforehand; he had originally thought today's matter would be very simple.

He had not expected things to evolve to this point.

After today, he feared his reputation would be affected.

But since things had reached this stage...

Let it be affected.

As long as Tianyu was dealt with, as time passed, this matter would gradually fade away.

One day, the impact would disappear completely.

Thinking of this.

His heart settled.

He looked at Wang Jianqiang indifferently, "Haishan attacked you because he mistakenly thought you attacked his residence; it can be considered as having a cause."

"Although there was a fault, it was not subjectively intended to violate clan rules."

"It is understandable."

"Moreover, after you arrived outside Haishan's residence, you verbally abused Haishan; this act carries the suspicion of provocation."

"Haishan's friend could not stand by and attacked, accidentally damaging Haishan's residence, which led to Haishan's misunderstanding."

"Investigating the cause, it is still because of you."

"You triggered today's conflict, and for this matter, you must bear the primary responsibility."

Shameless!

Wang Jianqiang felt disdain in his heart, but his face revealed a look of panic.

"Elder, how can this matter be judged this way? This does not conform to clan rules, does it?"

The tall, thin Elder said indifferently, "How this Elder acts is not for you to teach."

"As the person primarily responsible for causing today's events, this Elder has the right to imprison you and await further disposal."

As he spoke, he slowly extended his palm and reached toward Wang Jianqiang.

"Elder, you are acting so arbitrarily; I hope you will not regret it."

Wang Jianqiang gritted his teeth hard.

He did not dodge or resist, but instead, while the tall, thin Elder raised his hand, he quickly took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, and a Spirit Light flashed on the talisman.

Seeing this scene, the tall, thin Elder frowned.

He sneered inwardly.

Could this Tianyu be sending a message to Elder Qingyun?

Yes, it must be so.

Tianyu's only backer was Elder Qingyun.

But now, not to mention that Elder Qingyun's injuries had not yet healed.

Even if the injuries were recovered, it was feared that it would be very difficult to emerge from the mental trauma.

Where would there be time to care about whether this Tianyu lived or died?

Thinking of this, his concerns instantly dissipated.

He reached out into the air toward Tianyu.

A force instantly enveloped "Tianyu's" entire body.

It seemed to be done deliberately.

When he grabbed down, he intentionally released more power.

A creaking sound suddenly appeared on "Tianyu's" body, as if the bones were about to shatter.

The powerful crushing force caused the "injuries" on "Tianyu's" body to be aggravated.

With a *puchi* sound.

A large mouthful of fresh blood gushed out.

His aura instantly became withered.

Seeing this scene, the people around them all revealed looks of pity on their faces.

Tianyu had always been at odds with Haishan.

The former came from an ordinary background, while the latter's father was a Void Refinement Stage Elder.

The gap in status between the two was too great.

The crowd had predicted this scene more than once.

And this scene.

Had indeed appeared.

Haishan felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

Finally, this bastard had been dealt with.

As long as he could imprison Tianyu, he had the confidence to rely on his own connections to ensure Tianyu could never appear in the outside world again.

At that time.

The only one qualified to receive the admiration and reverence of the Cultivators of the Black Scale Lineage would be him alone.

No one would compete with him for the "Heavenly Pride Halo" again.

At the same time.

Also feeling encouraged in their hearts were Haishan's two lackeys.

Although there were quite a few twists and turns in today's events, the outcome was good in the end.

As long as Tianyu is dealt with, they can still obtain benefits from Haishan.

Honghe stared at Tianyu, a flash of complexity and guilt crossing her face.

Just a short while ago.

Her father was severely wounded while out on a trip, and healing his injuries required many resources.

Her father could not provide them, and she was powerless to help.

Although Tianyu's talent was strong, his background was ordinary, and he could not provide them either.

Two days ago.

Haishan took the initiative to contact her and offered to help her.

In exchange.

She needed to become Haishan's person and unconditionally assist him in dealing with Tianyu.

Although she resisted in her heart.

For the sake of her father, she ultimately chose to agree.

Tianyu, I'm sorry!

She sighed secretly in her heart, a flash of resolve crossing her eyes.

Immediately, the complexity and guilt in her eyes vanished.

Her expression returned to indifference.

Just as the people all around wore various expressions, Wang Jianqiang, under the restraint of the tall and thin Elder, had already slowly flown into mid-air together with the Elder.

Just as the tall and thin Elder was preparing to take "Tianyu" away, he suddenly saw a stream of light fly out from the Inner City District, approaching them at an astonishing speed.

In the blink of an eye.

The stream of light flashed and appeared at the scene.

As the Spirit Light faded, the scene within the Spirit Light gradually appeared in everyone's field of vision.

It was a sedan chair cast entirely from white jade.

The sedan was flawless and immaculate, exquisitely crafted, just like a work of art.

In front of the sedan, it was pulled by three dragon horses.

The three dragon horses were covered in pure white scales and were extremely extraordinary.

The moment they saw the White Jade Sedan, everyone present was stunned in unison.

Within the Mermaid Clan, the vast majority of clansmen had never seen the Mermaid Princess.

But almost everyone knew.

White Jade Sedan, dragon horses...

In the entire Mermaid Clan, only the Princess possessed them; they were features unique to the Mermaid Princess.

Therefore.

The moment they saw the White Jade Sedan, an incredible thought popped into everyone's minds.

This is...

Her Highness the Princess!

Today's events had actually drawn out the Princess of their Mermaid Clan!

The tall and thin Elder, who had just flown into mid-air, felt his heart jump violently.

He suddenly remembered Tianyu's recent transmission.

The message had just been sent, and the Princess appeared.

Could the Princess have been called here by Tianyu?

Thinking of this possibility, his breathing stalled.

Although he was an Elder of the Black Scale Lineage.

In terms of status, he was still inferior to the Elders of the Purple Scale Lineage and the Gold Scale Lineage.

And the Princess's status was even above that of the Elders of the Gold Scale Lineage.

There were several levels of difference between them.

While it wasn't to say she could decide his life or death with a single word, if Her Highness the Princess truly wanted to deal with him, it would not be very difficult.

If the Princess was truly called here by Tianyu, then...

Impossible!

Following that, he immediately denied his own conjecture.

What kind of person was the Princess?

How could she be someone Tianyu could call?

It must be that the Princess was traveling, happened to run into this, and came over to watch the excitement.

Thinking of this.

The panic in his heart slowly subsided, and he cupped his hands in a salute toward the White Jade Sedan, "Elder Kuteng of the Black Scale Lineage pays respects to the Princess."

Following the tall and thin Elder's words, Haishan, Honghe, and the people all around also recovered from their shock one after another.

They bowed respectfully toward the White Jade Sedan, "Pay respects to the Princess."

After everyone's voices fell, no sound came from within the sedan.

Without receiving the Princess's command, no one present, including Elder Kuteng, dared to stand up without permission.

Nor did anyone dare to make a sound.

This world fell into a strange silence.

A sense of pressure inexplicably arose in everyone's hearts, and they held their breath.

After a few breaths.

Hum~

The space around the White Jade Sedan rippled, and a figure stepped out from within.

She was ethereal and refined, like a Green Lotus, untainted by dust.

Transcendent and otherworldly, as if she did not belong to the mortal realm.

Sensing the woman's appearance, everyone's hearts jolted.

The Princess has appeared!

At this moment.

Everyone's curiosity reached its absolute peak.

Although they dared not stand up, they still could not help but pluck up the courage to sneak a glance at that figure.

Immediately, they all revealed looks of astonishment.

After the Mermaid Princess appeared, she did not look at the crowd around her, but looked directly at Tianyu.

When she saw the blood mist covering Tianyu's body and sensed Tianyu's weak aura.

Her clean and delicate brows instantly furrowed.
