Chapter 1312: Interception by Two Races

Following Mingchen's order, the team continued to move forward, and their pace was extremely fast.

Lianyin was truly worthy of being a prodigy of the Mermaid Clan.

While contending with Wang Jianqiang, she could still spare the focus to control the White Jade Sedan, and her speed was not slow in the slightest, keeping the White Jade Sedan flying at the very front of the team, level with Mingchen.

However, people will eventually get tired.

As time passed.

Although the speed at which Lianyin controlled the White Jade Sedan did not slow down, the White Jade Sedan became less steady.

"What is the situation?"

Seeing this scene, Mingchen frowned.

Could it be that Lianyin was actually cultivating?

Could it be that she had already reached a critical moment in her cultivation?

Just at this moment.

The White Jade Sedan suddenly shook violently, nearly falling from the sky.

Mingchen felt a shock in his heart.

Subconsciously, he was about to exert his power to catch the White Jade Sedan.

But the next moment.

The White Jade Sedan suddenly became steady again.

He let out a long sigh of relief.

It seemed Lianyin had already finished her cultivation.

But then again.

If Lianyin had been cultivating inside the White Jade Sedan the whole time, wouldn't Tianyu have had no chance to interact with her?

In that case, how could he help set things up for himself?

But fortunately, she seemed to have already finished her cultivation.

It seems...

He still had to continue helping Tianyu stall for time.

He shook his head helplessly.

At this moment.

Inside the White Jade Sedan, Lianyin had already digested the Purification Power within her body.

Although she was somewhat exhausted, her spirit was extremely high.

"Brother Qiang, one more time?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head, "We have now almost entered the core area of this space, and we could encounter danger at any time."

"It is better to conserve some of our state."

Hearing this, Lianyin nodded, then looked down, her pretty face flushing red, "Then Brother Qiang, why are you still..."

Wang Jianqiang gave a dry cough and withdrew his hand calmly, "I just saw that you seemed to have consumed quite a bit, and I was afraid you would fall, so I was just supporting you."

"I know."

Lianyin nodded, "Thank you, Brother Qiang."

"It is nothing."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and waved his hand.

Boom—

Just at this moment.

A violent roaring sound suddenly came from outside.

The White Jade Sedan shook.

Wang Jianqiang and Lianyin steadied themselves and looked into the Ice Mirror at the same time.

Immediately, they saw.

Their team had actually fallen into an encirclement.

The tremor just now was caused by the enemy's attack.

And the cultivators surrounding them came from two races.

One side was the Octopus Clan, and the other was the Sea Giant Clan.

The number of the Octopus Clan alone was nearly double that of the Mermaid Clan.

The number of the Sea Giant Clan's team was not inferior to the Octopus Clan at all.

The combined number of cultivators from the two races was nearly four times that of the Mermaid Clan.

Moreover, the quality of the cultivators in the two teams was also very strong.

Not counting Mingchen and Lianyin.

An equal number of Octopus Clan or Sea Giant Clan troops would have an overall strength exceeding that of the Mermaid Clan.

Seeing such a huge gap.

Even Lianyin could not help but reveal a grave expression.

"It seems the team has encountered trouble; let's go out."

Spirit Light flashed on Wang Jianqiang's body, and Tianyu's attire had already appeared on him.

On the other side.

Lianyin nodded and also summoned the Magic Dress she usually wore.

The next moment.

The figures of the two vanished simultaneously.

……

"Merfolk Prince, Mermaid Princess."

"Tsk tsk, I never expected the Mermaid Clan to have such audacity, actually willing to let you both enter this place together."

"Are you not afraid of perishing here entirely?"

A gaunt youth with a sinister expression had his gaze shifting back and forth between the White Jade Sedan and Mingchen, a sharp glint flickering in his eyes.

Afterward, his gaze fixed on Mingchen, and a mocking smile appeared on his face, "I never expected the Merfolk Prince to be this stupid."

"My Octopus Clan merely set a trap on purpose, and you jumped right into it."

"It is thanks to you, otherwise how would we have obtained this opportunity to wipe you all out in one fell swoop?"

"However, your strength did exceed my expectations; you actually almost killed all the men I deployed!"

The youth's long hair seemed like a living thing, appearing in a state of irregularity, constantly undulating.

Speaking to the end, his complexion turned gloomy.

Clearly, the fall of several capable subordinates made him feel angry.

Hearing the youth's words, Mingchen's complexion darkened.

So, the news brought back by the scout earlier was actually a trap already set by the Octopus Clan!

He looked coldly at the youth.

"Your people left a Tracking Mark on me?"

"Why did I not notice it?"

"With the strength of those people, it is impossible for them to leave a mark on me without me noticing!"

The youth grinned, "Merfolk Prince? It is truly stupid enough to make one feel delighted."

"Do you think that such a simple principle, which even you could think of, my people would not understand?"

"As long as the Tracking Mark wasn't on your body, wouldn't that be enough?"

Mingchen's expression stiffened.

His Spirit Sense swept out, enveloping the dozen or so clansmen who had left with him initially.

A moment later, his expression paused.

His Spirit Sense surged toward one person, and the next moment, amidst the pale complexion of that Mermaid Clan Cultivator, a Soul Imprint flew out from their body.

Mingchen's complexion was gloomy, and his Spirit Sense suddenly tightened.

Crack~

That Soul Imprint shattered.

He looked at the Octopus Clan youth, his complexion turning livid.

He was the Merfolk Prince, and looking back through the generations, every Merfolk Prince had been an extremely outstanding one.

Since childhood, he had been the center of attention.

How could he not be proud?

But facing this Octopus Clan youth, in just a few exchanges, his intelligence had been crushed repeatedly.

This made him unable to help but feel somewhat ashamed and angry.

Whoosh~

Just at this moment.

A flash of Spirit Light appeared on the White Jade Sedan.

Wang Jianqiang and Lianyin appeared in the outside world.

After Lianyin appeared, she waved her palm, and the White Jade Sedan instantly turned palm-sized, falling into her hand, and was then put away by her.

"You are the Mermaid Princess of this generation of the Mermaid Clan?"

Seeing Lianyin, a look of amazement flashed in the Octopus Clan youth's eyes, and then, this amazement turned into greed.

"It is rumored that the Mermaid Princess of this generation is stunningly talented, and in terms of both beauty and natural aptitude, she is the strongest existence among all previous Mermaid Princesses of the Mermaid Clan."

"Seeing you now, the rumors are indeed not false."

"Before setting out, the Thirteenth Ancestor had already repeatedly exhorted me to pay attention to the Mermaid Clan and to see if you were among the Mermaid team."

"I never expected you to have actually entered this Treasure Land."

"In this way, it has given me the opportunity to complete the task entrusted by the Thirteenth Ancestor."

Speaking to this point, the greed in his eyes grew even more intense.

No wonder the Thirteenth Ancestor could not stop thinking about this Mermaid Clan princess.

This Mermaid Princess was simply too beautiful; she did not seem like a mortal creature at all.

The moment he saw the other party, he even could not help but develop the impulse to defy the Thirteenth Ancestor's order and possess her for himself.
