Chapter 367 Fish Scales
The Mingshan Sect will arrive soon to provide support, and Haimu needs to finish this quickly.
The sea breeze howled atop Longquan Cliff as Haimu leaped from the sky, swooping down towards Jinli Residence.
Yu Zhuo remained calm in the face of danger. She formed hand seals and summoned a giant soul blade to slash at Hai Mu, loudly instructing the guards: "Activate the formation!"
The Soul Blade could only hold off Haimu for a moment, but the guards quickly took their positions.
The twin siblings Yu Zhuo and Yu Yue were positioned at the main battle point. A barrier rose in the front yard of Jinli Residence, crackling with lightning, blocking the Mermaid Lord from entering.
Hai Mu smiled disdainfully. When he was cultivating his physique, he spent his days and nights in the center of the deep sea, drawing in deep-space lightning to temper his body.
He is least afraid of lightning.
He walked on air, step by step toward the barrier under the watchful eyes of the guards.
His webbed hands covered the barrier, and he continuously absorbed the lightning, transforming it into spiritual energy within his body.
The spiritual energy that the array guardians provided to the barrier was also absorbed by Haimu.
“This won’t do.” Yu Zhuo discussed with his younger brother Yu Yue: “He can absorb lightning, and he will drain our spiritual power.”
"Change formation!"
The guards withdrew their spiritual power and quickly switched their positions.
In the instant the protective array switched, Hai Mu flicked a fish scale into the stone gate.
Sea breezes can't get in, but fish scales can.
The Golden Spirit Array was incredibly sturdy, and Hai Mu could not break it by force.
His deep blue eyes glanced intently at the twins in the main formation before he turned and flew away.
As Yu Yue watched him leave, she whispered, "Sister, he's gone."
Yu Zhuo replied, "We must not be careless. Let's hold on a little longer. Sect Leader Ning will be here soon."
Ning Yuan and Gou Yue arrived very quickly.
They arrived almost immediately after Haimu left.
Based on Yu Zhuo's description, they knew that the person who came was the Mermaid Lord Hai Mu. Ning Yuan sent a message to invite him to meet, but received no reply.
The cultivators searched along the top of the cliff, but there was no trace of the mermaid.
The sea breeze lurks in the koi's abode, circling in the corner, stirring up the fallen leaves piled up against the wall.
The fish scales that fell into the stone gate seemed to have grown legs, clinging to the lower edge of the obsidian wall and inching their way into the passage.
When the Merfolk attacked, Yu Yue immediately notified Jiang Ming.
Just as Jiang Ming entered the secret chamber, he received a message that the Mermaid Lord had already retreated.
The demon race's magic is unpredictable, so he dared not be careless and still went to Jinli Residence with his guards to investigate.
After checking all the formations and magical treasures at Jinli Residence and finding nothing amiss, Jiang Ming and Ning Yuan each left behind a team of guards to strengthen the defenses before departing separately.
As he stepped through the stone gate, he glanced back and saw fallen leaves swirling in the corner of the wall.
'Even the sea breeze can carry messages for the mermaids.'
Jiang Ming walked slowly to the corner of the wall and smelled the unique damp salty smell of the sea breeze.
He unleashed his spiritual power to disperse the sea breeze, chased after Ning Yuan who hadn't gone far, and asked if he would be willing to set up a square array at Longquan Cliff.
The Fangyuan Array is a good thing; it's a powerful protective array that's been offered to us. We shouldn't refuse it.
Ning Yuan readily accepted.
One day, the demon race would have to use the immortal race's protective barrier array; none of them had expected it.
Just as they never imagined that they could now coexist harmoniously and cooperate with each other.
It was all for the sake of protecting Shen Yao and fighting against the evil cultivators.
However, even the most meticulous plans can have oversights; no matter how clever a cultivator is, there are details they cannot guard against.
When Jiang Ming returned, tiny, almost transparent fish scales, hidden in the passageway, quietly clung to the hem of his robes and followed him back to the branch sect.
The moment the fish scales clung to his robes, Jiang Ming sensed a faint, unfamiliar spiritual energy.
He paused in the passage and released his spiritual sense to investigate for a long time, but that faint spiritual power seemed to have never appeared; it was as if it were his imagination.
With doubts in his heart, he turned around and unleashed a powerful whirlwind into the passage as he entered the cyan light gate.
His spiritual sense watched the whirlwind sweep through every part of the passage, all the way out of the stone gate, before he felt at ease returning to the branch sect.
Despite her meticulous planning, the Mermaid still managed to slip up.
The river was blocked, and seawater flooded in.
At the bottom of Longquan Cliff, seawater is diverted into the river channel, and the sea trees at the bottom of the cliff use the power of the seawater to form a formation.
The seawater spouted up jets of water, supporting the seaweed on top.
His fish tail shimmered with scales, his upper body was completely naked, and jets of water gushed forth, washing over his strong muscles.
His beautifully defined muscles rose upwards, and in stark contrast to his robust physique, his handsome face, with its closed eyes and captivating features, exuded charm.
Her long eyelashes, glistening with water droplets, trembled slightly; her sleeping face was incredibly alluring.
He is searching for the goddess's traces by looking through the fish scales.
When Jiang Ming returned, it was too late at night, so he went straight back to Chenfeng Pavilion.
Shen Yao has changed her appearance. In Chenfeng Pavilion, her previous portraits have been put away, and now the portraits hanging in the room are all of her current appearance.
Jiang Ming hadn't paid attention to these things before, since it was all her anyway.
Until one day, Shen Yao asked him, "Do you prefer the me of the past, or the me of the present?"
With his strong execution skills, Jiang Ming immediately collected all the portraits, keeping none for himself, and gave them all to her.
What a joke! She's right here beside me. Why would I need those old portraits?
He doesn't care about appearances.
His romantic words were excessively exaggerated: "Even if my wife's soul is attached to a strange beast, I will still love the strange beast that my wife has transformed into."
Shen Yao laughed loudly, her voice trembling: "If I turned into a porcupine with long tusks, would you kiss a porcupine too?"
Jiang Ming couldn't catch it; he thought about it and realized he really couldn't bring himself to eat it.
Unless he also turns into a porcupine.
The walls of Chenfeng Pavilion were empty, so Jiang Ming would paint her whenever he had time, and then hang the portraits back up one by one, mostly of her practicing swordsmanship.
Upon seeing the walls covered with portraits of goddesses, Hai Mu understood immediately; the goddesses were indeed hiding here.
There was a teleportation array inside the stone gate, and it seemed that Yu Lin had been taken to a sect of the immortal race.
No wonder they couldn't find the goddess among the demons.
Jiang Ming took off his outer robe and hung it on the clothes rack in the inner room.
After he fell asleep, the fish scales quietly detached from his robes and landed on the floor beneath the robes.
Shen Yao, who is always diligent in cultivation, came to wake up Master Jiang early in the morning.
Jiang Mingke liked her wake-up service. She would tiptoe into the room and, like a little animal, nuzzle her head against his chest.
After waking him up, I nuzzled my head against his neck; my smooth hair felt so comfortable against his neck.
It's mainly because I feel really comfortable.
"Master Jiang, get up."
Seeing the smile on Jiang Ming's lips, Shen Yao knew he was awake.
She nuzzled his neck and gently bit his chin: "Get up."
Jiang Ming gave a lazy "hmm" and kept his eyes closed, not wanting to open them.
Shen Yao knew that he had gone to bed very late again last night: "You sleep a little longer, I'm going to eat and cultivate first."
The immortal lord, who usually wouldn't interfere with her cultivation, unusually pulled her aside today.
He gently pulled her back into his arms.
He wrapped his arms around her tightly, closed his eyes, and kissed her hair: "Last night, the mermaid tried to break into the Koi Residence, but failed. Don't go into the teleportation array recently."
Shen Yao replied softly, "Okay, you go to sleep."
Jiang Ming didn't move, and held her tightly for a while before letting go.
He was completely awake now, and got out of bed. Shen Yao took the outer robe from the clothes rack and handed it to him: "Are you wearing this today?"
Jiang Ming took the outer robe and hung it back up. He took out another robe from his storage space and put it on. He cast a cleansing spell and took Shen Yao's hand: "Let's go have breakfast first."
After they left, the fish scales emitted a colorful glow.
At the bottom of Longquan Cliff, the seaweed lying on the sea opened its blue eyes.
There's no need to look anymore; he's already seen her.
