Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 1147 - Chapter 1147 It’s a Long Story

Chapter 1147 It’s a Long Story

A moment later, a martial artist of the Ceroman Clan came with a black jade box in his hand.

“As for the specific location of the ancient site, it is recorded in the jade map in this box. However, after experiencing this killing tribulation of heaven and earth, the location may be slightly biased. You’ll know how it is after reading it.” The Patriarch handed the black jade box to Ding Hao without hesitation.

“All right.”

Ding Hao nodded and took the jade box. He was about to open it and take a look, but at this moment, something strange happened.

From the distant sentry post of the Ceroman Clan, the sound of alert horns could be heard. It was rapid and long. The air was filled with the smell of war. All the masters of the Ceroman clan suddenly changed their expressions. This kind of horn meant that a powerful enemy had appeared, and war was coming.

Streams of light flashed.

An expert of the Ceroman Clan came close, glanced at Ding Hao, and then looked at the Patriarch.

“What happened? Speak!” the Patriarch shouted loudly.

The expert hastily replied, “My Lords, we have discovered an army of the Mermaid Clan in the sea up ahead. They’re pressing in. Should we prepare for war?”

“What?

“A mermaid fleet?”

The experts of the Ceroman Clan were all shocked.

The Mermaid Clan was the royal clan of the Sea Clan in the Seven Seas. They were powerful. It was said that they were the closest to the Sea God in the past. They had always hated the Ceroman Clan. There were many conflicts between the two clans. Basically, the Ceroman Clan had never won. When the Ceroman Clan heard that the army of the Mermaid Clan was approaching, their hearts were in their mouths.

Ding Hao, however, was delighted.

“Let’s go and check it out.” He did not charge over rashly. Instead, he went up to the Mermaid Clan with the Ceroman Clan’s Patriarch and others.

Ding Hao decided not to show up for the time being. He asked the Ceroman Clan to talk to the Mermaid Clan. He wanted to see what had happened to the Sea Clan of the Seven Seas during this period and what Li Yiruo, Adorable, and the others had been through.

Under the command of their patriarch, the Ceromen set up their formation.

At the place where the sea and the sky were connected in the distance, colorful spots appeared one after another, followed by waves hundreds of meters high. It seemed that a layer of the sea in the distance suddenly rose, and colorful warships broke through the waves one after another with unparalleled momentum. Around the warships, colorful water lines were partly hidden and partly visible. If one looked carefully, one would find that they were all handsome figures with human bodies and fishtails. They were moving forward in the water at a high speed, and their beautiful figures were like the Sons of God, leaving beautiful arcs.

This was the first time that Ding Hao had seen the Mermaid Clan army on patrol. It was indeed extremely magnificent.

Legend had it that the Mermaid Clan was a clan that had inherited the essence of heaven and earth and was favored by the Sea God. They were born to be extremely beautiful. When Ding Hao saw them today, he found that they were indeed so.

Strange drumbeats and bugles were heard one after another.

When the army of the Mermaid Clan was about a kilometer away from the Ceroman Clan, they stopped. An indescribable murderous and noble aura rolled over. When the mermaid warriors lurking under the sea surface floated up, their bodies were covered with silver armor. They looked like divine warriors walking down from the silvery snow-capped mountain peak. Their dazzling cold weapons shone brightly. The warriors stood up and floated on the surface of the water. There were so many of them, which made it look like a silver forest. On the warships in the distance, there were golden-armored figures, all of whom were masters of the Mermaid Clan.

In addition to the warriors of the Mermaid Clan, there were also some masters of other subordinate clans.

As the royal clan of the Seven Seas, the Mermaid Clan had many vassal clans, such as the Giant Whale Clan, the Mad Shark Clan, the Seahorse Clan, and so on. These were all extremely powerful clans. The strength of a royal clan was not only determined by its combat strength and quantity, but also by the combat strength of its subordinate clans.

“This is the Royal Troop of the Mermaid Clan. It’s their main force. I’m afraid that there are king-level beings of the Mermaid Clan on the commanding ship.” The expression of the Patriarch of the Ceroman Clan changed. The two clans had been at war with each other all year round, so they were very familiar with each other. As soon as the Ceromen saw the dense formation of the silver-armored warriors of the Mermaid Clan, they knew that they were not facing the Mermaid Clan’s patrol but its real main force this time.

Ding Hao did not speak but observed quietly.

His Divine Senses had quietly spread out and he was observing everything in the surroundings.

Everything between heaven and earth was filled with a murderous aura.

The high-ranking Mermaid Clan obviously did not take the Ceromen in front of them seriously. Without any conversation, rapid and majestic war drums rumbled over.

“This is the expelling drum. After three drumbeats, they will kill whoever blocks their way without mercy.” The Patriarch of the Ceroman Clan introduced the drum to Ding Hao. At the same time, he felt angry and said, “The Mermaid Clan is too arrogant. All our clansmen are here, but they’re threatening us with the expelling drum without telling us the reason. Humph!”

Ding Hao did not speak.

The Patriarch of the Ceroman Clan was a little embarrassed. He stopped talking to Ding Hao and took a step forward. He said loudly, “I’m the Patriarch of the Ceroman Clan. Who is the Commander of the Mermaid Clan? Please show yourself.” His voice surged out with the power of the God Realm, resounding in all directions, causing the waves to roll. He deserved to be the Patriarch of the Ceroman Clan. His strength was really powerful.

But the other side was still silent.

However, the drumbeats of the expelling drum became more and more rapid and intense.

“Commander of the Mermaid Clan, please show yourself.” The Ceroman Clan’s Patriarch continued to send a voice transmission.

The other party continued to turn a deaf ear.

Many Ceroman warriors showed anger in their eyes. Although the Mermaid Clan was the royal clan of the Seven Seas, they were too arrogant and looked down on everyone. Did they really think that the Ceroman Clan were beggars who could be expelled at will?

The Ceroman Clan’s Patriarch sighed and was about to say something else.

At this moment, Ding Hao took a step forward and stood at the bow of the warship of the Ceroman Clan. A majestic and surging force spread out.

The Ceroman clansmen didn’t think much of it, but on the opposite side, the army of the Mermaid Clan, which had been solemn, suddenly became chaotic. The mermaid warriors standing neatly on the surface of the water shook, and the warships on the top of the huge waves and the subordinate clans in the distance shook in the water as if they had lost control.

Although they only lost control for a moment, the rapid drumbeats suddenly stopped.

A voice came from a distance.

“We didn’t know that you were here, Supreme Master. My apologies for our negligence.” The voice was loud and majestic, containing traces of nobility. He tried his best to keep calm, but he still couldn’t hide the surprise and shock in his tone. Obviously, he didn’t expect that there would be such a terrifying supreme master in the Ceroman Clan’s camp. In just an instant, the supreme master’s power burst out, which made the entire army of the Mermaid Clan feel as if they were about to be destroyed.

Ding Hao said lightly, “Mermaid Princess, please show yourself.”

His voice was not as loud as that of the Patriarch of the Ceroman Clan, nor did it contain any momentum. However, in the ears of the warriors of the Ceroman clan, each word Ding Hao said was like an iron hammer that hit their consciousnesses hard, making their minds tremble. They could not resist at all.

“My clan’s princess is still in the rear troops. May I know who you are…” The previous voice rang out again, and the tone was much lower.

Ding Hao looked at the vast sea and sky in the distance and said, “I’m an old friend of hers.”

After that, the scene turned deathly silent.

Even the Mermaid Clan’s Royal Troop, which was greatly powerful, felt a kind of terrifying pressure. The countless fierce Ceromen on the opposite side could not put any pressure on them, but the human figure on the Ceroman warship made every proud mermaid warrior bend over and unable to stand up straight.

After about half an hour, several rays of flowing light came from the distant sky.

The leading one was graceful and attractive, like a Nine Heavens Mystic Fairy who was riding the wind. Her light yellow long hair fluttered in the wind, which made her look extremely dazzling. She was wearing a set of light silver soft armor that outlined her curvy figure. She was holding a Stave with a trident of the Sea God in her hand. She had a delicate face, fair skin, and a noble posture. Her whole body was surging with a strong aura of water elements. In an instant, she arrived at the front of the Mermaid Clan army. With a slightly worried look on her face, she said, “I’m the Mermaid Princess. Greetings to Senior Supreme Master. May I know who you are?”

Although she was not very clear about what was going on, when Ding Hao released his power before, the Mermaid Princess also felt terrifying power from hundreds of miles away, which made all the masters of the Mermaid Clan tremble with fear. She knew very well how horrifying the supreme master was. It was a top supreme master who could crush a clan and a force on his own. If the Mermaid Clan angered such a person, they would have a disaster befalling them.

Therefore, the Mermaid Princess was very respectful to the other party although she couldn’t figure out why such a mighty being would appear in the Ceroman Clan’s camp and say that he was an old friend of hers.

Just when she was confused, she suddenly felt that the scene in front of her had changed. The vast ocean and the armies of the two clans had disappeared. A figure appeared in front of her. He had black hair and a cyan shirt. He was as straight as a spear and looked as elegant as jade. He had starry eyes and sharp eyebrows, and he was staring at her quietly.

...

“Are you… Brother Ding?” The Mermaid Princess was greatly shocked.

She had never expected that this horrifying being was actually Ding Hao.

Ding Hao looked at the Mermaid Princess and asked in a calm tone, “Where are Yiruo, Adorable, and the others?” His Divine Senses had scanned the area thousands of miles around him and he found the Mermaid Princess and other high-level officials of the Mermaid Clan, but he did not find any trace of Li Yiruo, the dolphin Adorable, Ding Ke’er, and the others, which surprised him. He wanted to know what had happened.

“They…” The Mermaid Princess’s expression was a little strange, and her tone was hesitant.

Ding Hao’s face changed slightly, and he said, “Your Grace, do you remember your promise to me?”

The Mermaid Princess’s expression changed rapidly. Under Ding Hao’s staring, she finally sighed and said, “Brother Ding, this… Alas, it’s a long story. It’s a little different from what I had planned. I can’t control the situation now.”

Ding Hao’s face immediately turned cold as he said, “Where are they?”

“They’re in the Sea God Palace of the Seven Seas,” the Mermaid Princess hurriedly said, “Brother Ding, please simmer down. Sister Ke’er, Yiruo, and the others are not in danger. They just can’t return for the time being…”
