C99 (1/2)

Sea of Nine Serenities, as far as the eye could see, the endless ocean was surging and turning the entire world blue. The salty sea breeze, accompanied by all kinds of strange seabirds, formed a beautiful scenery.

However, the seemingly calm sea was full of danger. She saw an unknown bird more than ten meters long swooping down from above. Suddenly, a huge ferocious beast jumped out from the sea and swallowed the seabird without hesitation, diving into the depths of the sea.

”This is the Sea of Nine Serenities?”

”Get down.”

Qin Zheng surveyed his surroundings coldly. In the end, he chose an uninhabited island and slowly descended.

It had already been three days since they left the Qin Nation Palace. Fortunately, Qin Zheng's strength was now sufficient enough to display it at full power, and perhaps even better than before.

Stepping on the ground, Jiu Mu Li looked around, only to find out that not many plants could be used as medicinal ingredients, and most of the plants here were filled with Yin Qi, causing him to be filled with curiosity.

”There's no need to be surprised. Sea of Nine Serenities is a place with a lot of Yin Qi. This place is different from Qin Nation.” Qin Zheng seemed to be able to see through Jiu Mu Li's thoughts, and said indifferently.

Jiu Mu Li nodded, as if she had also sensed it. No wonder this place was called Tartarus, it did not live up to its name. Yin energy and cold energy were indeed very heavy, and they also had huge side effects on the bodies of ordinary people.

The island was not large, so Jiu Mu Li casually took a few glances, and did not pay any further attention. Although the environment here was bad, her strength was already comparable to the Starer, so she was not afraid of anything.

This island was very desolate, and it was obvious that no one had entered this island in a long time, let alone living here. This caused Jiu Mu Li to feel a bit of regret, she still wanted to see how the cultivators of the Sea of Nine Serenities were like, and it seemed that she could forget about entering this island in a short period of time.

Jiu Mu Li had to ask Qin Zheng, this fellow had brought her all the way here, but she did not explain where the 'Heavenly Flame' was. Originally, she thought that no matter how big the Sea of Nine Serenities was, it would not grow up.

”Wait a minute, I'm a bit patient.” Qin Zheng frowned, he obviously did not want to explain too much.

Patience your head!

Jiu Mu Li was speechless, she really wanted to scold that guy. Even if he were to pick up a girl like this, it would be hard to get his hands on her!

”Someone's coming.”

Without waiting for Jiu Mu Li to speak, Qin Zheng's voice revealed a chill, causing her to be startled. She looked over with a strange face.

At this moment, two figures were chasing each other across the sea.

Behind him, his body was covered in a dense yellow halo, and there was even faint star power flowing out in all directions.

It was a female cultivator, and also a Starer. Her appearance was not ugly, but it could not be considered exceptional, she was slightly inferior to Bai Qing, but she was dressed extravagantly, and her brows were filled with arrogance.

This female cultivator was using the Astral Souls, stepping on the waves, one fist wind after another surged out from her hands, continuously rushing towards the figure.

What was even more shocking to Jiu Mu Li was that, even though the upper half of the figure in front of him looked like a human, but below her waist was a pure fish tail.

”Mermaid!”

Jiu Mu Li exclaimed. She never thought that she would actually see the legendary mermaid here.

”You know about mermaids?” Qin Zheng asked with some surprise.

Jiu Mu Li was at a loss for words. She had felt that the mermaid was very similar to him in her previous life, she had never thought that she was actually a mermaid. She did not know what to say at that moment.

The mermaid's body was graceful and her face was as bright as a pearl. Although her lower body was shaped like a fish, it was covered with golden scales and looked very dazzling. It made people not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.

From the looks of it, the Mermaid was not very big, just like a fifteen or sixteen year old human girl, but at the moment, under the Starer's chase, she was trying her best to escape. Everywhere she went, the sea water automatically parted, as though it was supporting her forward, but even so, she was still at the end of her road.

The cultivators behind her were too strong, and they weren't something she could handle. Moreover, her entire body was filled with wounds as fresh blood dripped out of them.

”Why did you kill me?”

”We, the Fishmen, will definitely not let you off.”

The Mermaid was already in despair. She seemed to have realized that she no longer had the chance to escape, so she could only shout in anger.

Her voice was very melodious, like the song of heaven.

”Oh, the great sea, our mother.”

A sad and sorrowful song suddenly rang out. It was the mermaid's song. It seemed to be her final farewell.

How could this be?

Jiu Mu Li was at a loss and could not bear to do so. The mermaid looked too beautiful and she did not have any ill intentions, so even towards the cultivators chasing after her, she could only rage and confusion, but she did not envy them.

”Hand over your heart and tears. You have nowhere to run.”

The female cultivator laughed coldly. Her face was expressionless, and her eyes burned with a fiery desire.

She did not stop and did not give up. Every strike was filled with viciousness and was extremely tyrannical.
