Jiang Yuebai and Shen Jinghao boarded the fishbone boat together, and under the escort of four mermaids, two men and two women, they sailed towards the bright moon on the horizon.
On both sides, the fishbone boats that sailed out from various isolated islands, led by them, gradually joined the team. Dark blue jellyfish floated under the sea, slowly moving along with them.
The bright moonlight shines on Shen Jinghao, holy and gentle.
A male merman swam over and held the boat, and spoke in human language, "With your merits in this world, you will surely have a prominent status and great achievements in the next life. It is an honor for us mermaids to escort you to reincarnation."
Shen Jinghao looked calm and thanked with a smile.
Jiang Yuebai squatted down, looked at the male merman and asked, "What about me? You called me on board as well. Are you going to send me to reincarnate with Master Shen?"
The male merman looked at Jiang Yuebai carefully, frowned in confusion, and muttered a few words in the merman language before speaking in human language, "There is a karmic relationship between you and her, and you also have a share of her worldly merits. If you die young in this life, you will definitely be born into a wealthy family in the next life and live a life without worries."
"Did you capture a male cultivator with an incomplete soul a while ago?" Jiang Yuebai asked.
The male merman answered casually, "That person has not yet reached the end of his life and broke into this place. He has been imprisoned by us. We will wait for the response from the underworld to make our final decision!"
"I don't want to reincarnate, so just lock me up too." Jiang Yuebai said directly.
The male merman frowned, "Your chance to be reborn this time is something that many people would never be able to obtain."
"So what? I just don't want to be reincarnated. The male cultivator you captured owes me a huge debt, and I'm here to collect it from him. I will never be reincarnated unless I see him."
Jiang Yuebai was firm in his attitude. The male merman didn't want to waste words, so he said in a cold tone, "Don't be ungrateful!"
Jiang Yue rolled her eyes, turned to Shen Jinghao and said, "Master Shen, please step back."
After saying that, Jiang Yuebai stood up, saying "I'm sorry if that's the case", and immediately raised his foot and stepped directly on the male merman's face.
Bang!
The male mermaid had his head stepped on so hard that he looked up in confusion. The other mermaids around him and the people on the fishbone boat who were about to be reincarnated looked at him in horror.
"You actually hit..."
Bang!
Another kick hit the center of the face. The male merman had a fragile nose and he felt so much pain that tears welled up in his eyes and turned into small pearls that fell into the sea.
Jiang Yuebai stood with her hands on her hips, looking down at him.
The male mermaid's face suddenly turned into a ferocious fish face, and he roared at Jiang Yuebai with a mouth full of sharp teeth. The mermaids around him raised their harpoons at her.
Jiang Yuebai took a half step back, grabbed Shen Jinghao, and whispered, "Master Shen, don't be afraid."
"Whoever dares to come over here, I will drag her into the sea right now. Don't think I don't know. You want to take advantage of her merits and virtues. If you don't take me to see that person today, I will make sure you get nothing!"
As he spoke, Jiang Yuebai dragged Shen Jinghao back to the side of the boat, ready to jump into the sea at any time.
The group of mermaids looked at each other with their harpoons raised. The male mermaid with a red nose raised his hand, and the other mermaids retreated.
"Let her go first. I will have someone send you to see the male cultivator."
Jiang Yuebai smiled, "I'm not a fool. Turn the boat around and see that male cultivator. I'll return her to you."
The stalemate continued, and the male mermaid could only cover his nose and compromise. Many mermaids immediately turned around and dived into the sea. The fishbone boat shook violently and sank rapidly.
The huge bubbles blocked the sea water and protected Jiang Yuebai and Shen Jinghao.
After diving in the darkness for about half a minute, a bright light from somewhere pierced his eyes. Jiang Yuebai squinted and looked down, and saw endless coral reefs, as colorful as blooming flowers.
Various kinds of jellyfish are floating around and small fish are swimming in groups, making the place full of vitality.
A series of short and pleasant sounds were heard. Jiang Yuebai looked over and saw a magnificent city on the seabed, covered with various large conch shells in a variety of colors. Mermaids of all sizes were chasing schools of fish and playing around.
Jiang Yuebai was a little confused about the spatial structure here. Her soul left her body and went deep into the sea to those isolated islands, and then went deeper into the sea to see the country of mermaids.
Once she finds Xie Jingshan, how will she leave
This place has always been used to imprison souls of unknown origin or problems. After reporting to the underworld, these souls will basically become food for mermaids.
The fishbone boat stopped outside the black tower. The male merman with a red nose said coldly, "The person you are looking for is inside. Let her go."
Jiang Yuebai glanced at the black tower behind her. She had to believe it now. She let go of Shen Jinghao and said, "I'm sorry, Master Shen, for delaying your reincarnation."
Shen Jing smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, as long as I can help you."
Shen Jinghao suddenly staggered, Jiang Yuebai quickly caught him, and something was quickly stuffed into his palm.
"This was given by His Majesty. I don't know why I brought it here. I hope it can help you."
Shen Jinghao stood up straight and straightened his clothes. Jiang Yuebai was forced by numerous harpoons to retreat into the black tower.

At that time, deep in the black tower.
“… I will never be fooled by you! What you mean by following fate is bullshit!”
Xie Jingshan, with disheveled hair, was cursing at the old blind man dressed as a mortal fortune teller, and was furious.
"I was wondering why I suddenly felt like I was the reincarnation of a sword immortal and had all those messed up dreams. It turns out it was all your fault! I'm telling you, I am who I am, not anyone else. Don't force me to do something I don't want to do, especially to hurt the people I care about!"
The old blind man put his hands in his pockets, tilted his ears slightly, and felt someone coming from behind. He snorted and laughed, "You are all just small pieces in the chess game of heaven. Sooner or later, you will have to accept the destiny. Before you, many chess pieces of heaven have been like this. It is better to obey the destiny than to defy it. This is also for your own good. This is all I have to say. You can do whatever you want."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old blind man disappeared out of thin air.
Xie Jingshan chased after him and shouted, "Come back, who are you?!"
"Xie Jingshan—"
When Jiang Yuebai called out, Xie Jingshan's eyes suddenly opened wide. He stood there in a daze and saw Jiang Yuebai walking quickly towards him from the darkness.
When their eyes met, Xie Jingshan took a half step back in disbelief and rubbed his eyes hard.
"Xie Jingshan! I finally found you!"
Jiang Yuebai breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran to Xie Jingshan. Just as she was about to ask him about the situation, Xie Jingshan's hand suddenly pinched her face and pulled her away.
"Don't try to fool me, you old liar!" Xie Jingshan grinned.
"pain!"
Jiang Yuebai slapped Xie Jingshan's hand away, and all her joy disappeared in an instant, and she started cursing at Xie Jingshan.
"Aren't you a soul and you've lost your brain too? I worked so hard to save you and you call me an old liar? Am I old?"
Xie Jingshan was stunned, "You... are you really Jiang Yuebai? How come you are dead too?!"
"You are the one who died. I am alive and well. I came here specifically to take you back." Jiang Yuebai said, rubbing his face.
"Take me back? Can I still go back?" Xie Jingshan continued to be confused.
Jiang Yuebai said angrily, "Your grandfather, your mother, your master, do you know how many people are trying to save you outside now?"
Hearing this, Xie Jingshan's eyes showed a trace of guilt, "My grandfather..."
"Stop talking nonsense, let's find a way to leave here now. You don't have much time left. If you don't go back, you will really die!"
