Chapter 161: Demon Belly, Fake Empress
“How is that possible? There was clearly no poison in the food and wine. How could it be…!”
Priest Mu’s expression changed drastically.
He staggered and held onto the table, knocking over the dishes and wine on the table.
The gravekeeper could not figure out when he had been poisoned.
On the other side, Su Mu and Crab Demon Zhang Heng also felt a wave of discomfort.
Fortunately, one of them had the demonic power of the giant deep-sea demon to protect his body, and the other was a powerful demon with a tenacious vitality. Their poison resistance was very high, so they would not be poisoned.
..
The gravekeeper did not have such high poison resistance.
In his shock and anger, he forced himself up and took an antidote pill.
Then, he threw out a few Dao talismans and attacked the mermen from the Spiritual Pearl lineage.
Mermaid Empress Ming Yue was his number one target for revenge.
This Daoist hated the seemingly pure moon to the extreme. After throwing out the Dao talisman, he opened his mouth and spat out a small azure-blue sword.
The small sword expanded with the wind and turned into the size of a normal flying sword. It pierced towards Ming Yue’s forehead!
Bitch! Go to hell!”
The gravekeeper propped himself up and stared at Mingyue fiercely, as if he was looking forward to her head exploding.
However, in the next second, something strange happened.
The mystic realm they were in actually started to squirm strangely, swallowing all the mermen!
All of the gravekeeper’s divine arts struck the squirming stone wall, leaving only a few white marks.
This defensive power was somewhat shocking!
However, what surprised Su Mu was the changes in the Secret Realm.
This arcane realm was originally an underwater cave.
But at this moment, the stone wall inside actually began to squirm, and it had a flesh-like texture.
It was very strange!
The stone wall wriggled faster and faster, and with a violent shake, the entire secret realm rose from the ground, and actually swam in the sea!
This so-called mystic realm was actually a living thing!
Su Mu and the others were inside the body of this living creature.
The danger had just begun!
..
After all the mermen escaped, the wriggling stone wall began to press down on Su Mu and the other two, as if it wanted to crush them!
Su Mu turned around and saw that the exit had disappeared.
They were trapped here!
At the moment of crisis, a pure and lovely face appeared from the wriggling stone wall.
It was mermaid empress Ming Yue.
The appearance of such a face on the squirming black stone wall was extremely strange.
There was a sense of discomfort.
However, Ming Yue didn’t care at all. She still had that innocent smile on her face as she gently said to Su Mu and the other two:
“If you want to live, drop three drops of blood essence under your feet, and then…”
“You’ve killed many of your kin, haven’t you?”
Su Mu interrupted her words and coldly asked.
Hearing this, Ming Yue was stunned for a moment before smiling sweetly.
“Yes, I am. The spirit pearl lineage was originally the most powerful lineage among the mermen.”
“Otherwise, why would I be the empress, while the leader of the Blackstone branch is only the clan leader?”
“However, the current decline is only temporary.”
“One day, I will lead the merfolk race to rise on the sea!”
“This day is coming soon!”
Hearing this, Su Mu snorted and stared at her with a sneer:
“Empress? Are you even worthy? You’re just a crazy woman!”
“You… What do you know! Who told you that? Who was it? I want to kill her!
Kill her!”
The moment these words were said, Ming Yue could not hold it in anymore.
Her expression changed, and a hysterical killing intent appeared in her eyes.
..
Su Mu was very sensitive to ghosts.
After entering this so-called mystic realm, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
It wasn’t until Ming Yue tore open her face and revealed her true form that Su Mu discovered a large number of remnant souls.
Moreover, most of them were the remnant souls of the spirit pearl lineage mermen!
These remnant souls were extremely weak, and ordinary people could not see them at all.
Su Mu could see some faint afterimages, and because of the increased affinity with [Demonic Fate], these remnant souls were very close to him.
They all gathered around Su Mu’s ears, talking about many things intermittently.
Putting everything together, Su Mu roughly understood the truth of the matter.
Like Ming Yue said, the spirit pearl lineage was the strongest lineage among the mermen.
That was why the leader was called the Empress!
However, Ming Yue was not the mermaid empress, but the orphan of a traitor, she was bullied and looked down upon by the spiritual pearl lineage.
Ming Yue, who grew up in such an environment, was already mentally distorted. It was just that she did not have the strength to do anything.
Until more than ten years ago, she accidentally encountered a strange deep-sea demon.
This monster was like a stone but not a stone, like a fish but not a fish. It could barely be called a stone fish.
Ming Yue discovered that the Stonefish Demon would produce a strange spiritual liquid after devouring flesh and blood.
This kind of spiritual liquid was useless waste to the stonefish demons.
However, it was very useful to other living beings!
Consuming this spiritual liquid would not produce any effect in a short period of time, but it would slowly accumulate.
After accumulating it to a certain extent, he could directly advance to the grandmaster realm!
It felt a bit like a progress bar. Once it was full, it would take off immediately.
Before that, even 99% would be for nothing.
..
After learning about this, the mentally twisted Ming Yue came up with a crazy idea!
Sacrificing clansmen to obtain power!
The stonefish yao were powerful and intelligent.
After Ming Yue communicated with him, the man and the demon reached an agreement.
Under Ming Yue’s enticement, a large number of mermen from the spirit pearl lineage entered the so-called ‘secret area’, and were completely devoured!
The stonefish demon was powerful. It did not matter even if it was discovered later on. It would be over as long as it was forcefully attacked.
Just like that, the middle and higher-ups of the merfolk were slaughtered.
Only some low-level mermen who submitted to Ming Yue were lucky enough to keep their lives.
But Ming Yue did not stop there.
Even though the spiritual pearl lineage was the strongest branch among the mermen, the number of people in it was less than 50%.
The spiritual liquid was not enough!
There were still more mermen waiting for her to devour.
Ming Yue wanted to accumulate enough spiritual liquid as soon as possible and advance to the grandmaster realm!
Therefore, he had to keep killing.
However, the stonefish demons often needed to sleep, so Ming Yue used her innate charm and affinity to recruit some experts to help.
After that, he would let the Stonefish Yao devour them all.
She sold you and asked you to help her count the money.
And Su Mu, the gravekeeper, and the crab spirit were the tools Ming Yue had chosen this time.
..
Before this, Ming Yue had never let go of any tool that had been used up.
But this time, the handsome and mysterious Su Mu made her heart beat faster, and she wanted to subdue him.
Who would have thought that Su Mu’s few words would break through his defense, leaving only a hysterical killing intent in his eyes!
“I’m not a crazy woman! I am the mermaid empress, I am the mermaid empress! Kill him!”
Ming Yue’s pure and lovely face was filled with malevolence as she glared at Su Mu.
Under her urging, the stone wall squirmed faster and many sharp thorns appeared, stabbing towards them.
“Ahhhh! B * tch, b * tch! You deserve to die!”
The poison of the gravekeeper had taken effect, and he could not use his Dao techniques and divine arts. His body had already been pierced by several sharp thorns.
The poison they were poisoned with was a type of demon poison that could dissolve in the air within the stonefish demon’s body.
It was colorless, odorless, and difficult to detect.
It was extremely poisonous!
People like Su Mu and the crab spirit who had strong physiques or special techniques could still withstand it.
The gravekeeper was not going to make it. He was about to die under the double attack.
This time, he was doomed!
..
The grave man was on the verge of death, and Su Mu’s side wasn’t any better.
If they could not escape in time, they would still die as the stone wall squirmed and shrank!
Fortunately, Su Mu still had a backup plan.
Thinking of this, he touched the three beast statues in his arms.
Looks like I’ll have to lose some meat again…
