In the huge main hall, the only sound left was the sound of big carp hitting the ground.
A great demon king of the fifth realm, invincible under the emperor, would be a powerful existence in any clan in the myriad worlds. But because of Fang Yun's words, he turned into a fish.
The aquatic creatures present knew that the legendary Wenxing Longjue was very powerful, and the title of Special Envoy of the Grand Inspectorate was also impressive, but the dragon clan had been in decline for many years. In their view, Fang Yun was just an empty title at most, and they did not believe that he would be that powerful.
However, the sight of real people being deprived of their blood shocked them deeply.
This kind of punishment only exists in legends, and only the powerful dragon saints have this power. Even a real dragon cannot deprive the Five Realms Great Demon King of his bloodline before he is canonized.
Zhang Lang was almost scared to death when he saw the big carp. He thought to himself that it was a good thing that he had no bones and had joined Wen Xing Longjue early, otherwise he would probably have become an octopus on the table.
The water monsters behind Zhang Lang who were the first to surrender to Fang Yun were also trembling.
Fang Yun glanced at the silent aquatic creatures, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "The main culprit has been brought to justice. If the other traitors are willing to surrender, they can be given a lighter punishment. Otherwise, their fate will be the same as that of Jiao Lake. I will count them in dozens. Those who refuse to give up the dark and join the light will be sentenced to death! One, two, three..."
Fang Yun counted slowly, and one water monster after another came forward and knelt down.
In the end, thousands of ordinary aquatic creatures came out. There were only more than 3,000 adult mermaids here, but more than 200 of them came out, which was nearly one-tenth of the total.
Some mermaids were so angry that they were fuming. They didn't expect that there were so many traitors around them.
An old mermaid saw that her son had actually betrayed her, so she swung her fish tail, cursed and whipped her son, beating the mermaid until his skin was torn and flesh was exposed. She only stopped after being panting after being persuaded by others.
The Mermaid Queen was originally staring at Fang Yun with a look of infatuation on her face, but when she saw so many mermaids betraying her, her face turned pale.
The Queen of Jiao gritted her teeth and said, "I have known for a long time that there is something wrong with Jiao Hu, but I have never been able to do anything about him. I also wanted to use him to drag down the Sea Cliff Alliance. I didn't expect that there would be a traitor even among my own guards!"
The traitors lowered their heads and said nothing.
Fang Yun said: "I know there are still traitors who have not come out. Now, those who come out, expose the traitors. If you expose one, you will be pardoned. If you expose two, you will be rewarded handsomely!"
A young mermaid suddenly pointed at a seemingly weaker female mermaid and said, "She is also a traitor! I have seen her secretly colluding with Jiaohu with my own eyes."
The female merman said angrily: "You are talking nonsense. I am definitely not a traitor."
"Queen of the Mermaids, use the Mermaid Beads to test this mermaid." Fang Yun said.
"Yes." The Mermaid Queen actually agreed like a subordinate and took out the Magic Mermaid Pearl and was about to use it.
The female merman was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I..."
Before she could finish her words, Fang Yun stretched out his finger and the entire head of the mermaid exploded, splashing in the water like a blooming blood-colored flower.
A demon king merman hurriedly said, "Sir, please wait and kill them. We should interrogate the traitors carefully and then deal with them slowly. It will take time to fight against the Sea Cliff Alliance. It will take time. If we kill them all, it will be useless."
"After dealing with these traitors, I will personally lead the army to Haijiang City to resolve the dispute between the two tribes." Fang Yun said.
"Haiyagu is a vast land, it is impossible for them to agree to stop fighting." The mermaid said hurriedly.
"Whoever disagrees will be dealt with!" Fang Yun's voice echoed in the hall.
The water monsters were so shocked that they were speechless. If Fang Yun had said this before, they would have thought he was bragging. But after seeing Fang Yun's methods, they vaguely felt that Fang Yun might really do what he said.
"The envoy is indeed extraordinary and brave." The Mermaid Queen praised with a sweet smile.
Fang Yun glanced at everyone and said, "Keep exposing the traitors. I don't want to leave any hidden dangers among the mermaids!"
Afterwards, more people were exposed, and Fang Yun killed them one by one without mercy. Some people even wanted to escape, but Fang Yun could kill them with just a thought.
Since being officially canonized by the will of the Dragon Clan's Holy Tomb, all water creatures below the saint position are vulnerable to Fang Yun. Only those water creatures that betrayed the dragon clan in ancient times and were protected by the saints of other clans are less affected, but will still be suppressed.
After dealing with the mermaids in the hall, Fang Yun issued an order in the identity of Long Jue, the dragon clan's literary star. The order spread throughout the Mermaid Sea, and all the water creatures gathered outside Haijiang City.
Afterwards, Fang Yun led all the aquatic creatures here, left the ancient palace, and headed straight for Haijiang City.
Numerous water monsters surrounded the emperor's chariot, stepping on the waves and splitting the sea, moving forward rapidly.
In the imperial chariot, Fang Yun and the Mermaid Queen sat on the dragon throne together. The Mermaid Queen used magic to block the outside world so that the outsiders could not see what was going on inside. She held Fang Yun's arm and pressed against his body, her eyes full of spring and her cheeks flushed.
Fang Yun was unmoved. He stood straight and gave orders to the Mermaid Queen, asking her to do this and that. The Mermaid Queen agreed to all of them without any rejection.
Finally, Fang Yun said: "I came to Haiya Ancient Land mainly for the fragments of Wenquxing, Bi Lao and Bansheng's former residence. After entering Haijiang City, I will first take the fragments of Wenquxing."
The Mermaid Queen immediately said, "Don't worry, my dear. The Sea Cliff Alliance has a spy among us. We, the Mermaids, are no pushovers and have also planted spies in the Sea Cliff Alliance. The fragment of Wenquxing is in the Sea Cliff Holy Temple and is very easy to find. But you must not take it by force, as it is protected by the will of the Well Saint."
Fang Yun said, "Although the Holy Temple of Haiya honors the Well Saint, it still worships many saints. To me, it is like my own home."
The Queen of Mermaids asked curiously, "Excuse me, my dear, who are you? I have never heard of a person like you in Shengyuan Continent. The Ancient Sea Cliff Land is isolated from Shengyuan Continent, and communication is difficult, especially in recent years. There are times when you can't even get in or out. The Blood Fish that asked for help also consumed ancient treasures to leave this world."
"Lei Tingyu should have mentioned me. I am Fang Yun, the virtual saint of the human race." Fang Yun said.
The Queen looked at Fang Yun in surprise and said, "Old Thief Lei did mention you, but he said you were just a Jinshi. It's only been a few years, how could your strength grow so fast?"
"I had a little adventure. Let's not talk about me first. Do you know about the poisonous desert? I will go there after getting the fragment of Wenquxing." Fang Yun said.
The Mermaid Queen shook her head and said, "Mianyue has already reported to me what he said to you on the way. What he said is almost what we know. Not to mention us, even the Sea Cliff Alliance knows very little about the Poison Desert. The strange poison there is very strong. It is said that the great scholar of the Jingsheng family entered with the semi-saint treasure, but he could not hold on for long and had to withdraw. According to the speculation of the Sea Cliff Alliance, the poisonous fog will eventually weaken slowly, and then they will join forces to seize the former residence of the semi-saint. Since you are determined to get the former residence of the semi-saint, the entire mermaid clan will support you."
Fang Yun said, "I appreciate your kindness, but that place is a desert, not an ocean. You can't help me."
The Mermaid Queen raised her chin and said proudly: "My Mermaid race has been around for hundreds of thousands of years, so we have some foundation. Not to mention the desert, we can also protect ourselves in the void."
"And then they were defeated by the Sea Cliff Alliance?" Fang Yun asked.
