Douluo Continent: My Days in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 1193 The Messenger of the Secret Land of the Great Sea

The next day, Ye Nanxiao, who had spent the entire night deep in thought underwater, was awakened by Regent's knocking on the door.

He opened the door and walked out of the courtyard.

Yao Ling and Huo Yuhao were all ready and waiting for Ye Nanxiao to depart.

Liya hugged the Fish Dragon King's neck, looking at Ye Nanxiao with a reluctant expression.

The Snow Emperor appeared and gave Liya a long farewell hug.

The demonic voice that had been watching the sea from the rooftop of the small courtyard returned to Ye Nanxiao's side.

Those who came to see Ye Nanxiao off were still the Mermaid Queen and the Mermaid High Priest, plus two more mermaids, Cihai and Fanhai.

Cihai held Moyin's hand, her eyes slightly red though she wasn't tearful.

Fan Hai bumped fists with Huo Yuhao, then patted his chest. "Good buddy, see you again next time!"

The demon spirit and Lijing stood to one side.

"Will we meet again a hundred years in advance?"

"Ahead of schedule? Wouldn't that be twenty years from now?"

The demon spirit didn't care; to him, twenty years was just a few years to travel around a few cities and enjoy the scenery.

But for Regent, it's a bit difficult.

Don't be fooled by how busy she's been these past few days. These things are usually managed by specialized priests, who aren't familiar with Ye Nanxiao. She just does things quickly on her own.

After Ye Nanxiao leaves, she will go into seclusion again.

Once this period of seclusion begins, I don't know how many years will pass before I know it.

So, if she goes into seclusion, she might exceed the allotted time of these twenty years.

Her mother, the Empress, would spend at least a century in seclusion each time she went into cultivation.

"At that time, I might still be in seclusion."

"You should know that human lifespan is not long."

The demon's words were not without reason, even though Ye Nanxiao was one of the few strong people among humans.

Regent was silent for a moment, then she looked at Liya and said, "How about we get a new alarm clock?"

After chatting with the Mermaid Queen and the High Priest for a while, Ye Nanxiao waved goodbye.

However, this time when he returned, Ye Nanxiao had a spirit by his side.

With the help of the magic sound, the three of them no longer needed to trouble Lijing to make two trips.

Moreover, the Demon Sound knows most of the routes in the ocean.

Huo Yuhao clearly saw that before leaving, the mermaid high priest gave something to Ye Nanxiao.

However, he didn't ask what it was; he should return to land and find his next path.

Mo Yin raised his hands, his soul power surging.

The surrounding seawater was immediately pushed aside.

The mermaid high priest personally used his soul power to draw a bubble, which covered Ye Nanxiao and the others.

Although Ye Nanxiao's speed was not as fast as the Fish Dragon King's, it was still considered fast.

Leaving the mermaid kingdom, in the silent, dark sea, the two people and the spirit had quite a few things to talk about.

As they chatted, Ye Nanxiao waved his hand and conjured a large piece of floating ice, blocking a silver-ringed giant squid that was trying to rush up.

Moyin raised his hand and blasted the giant silver-ringed squid, along with the ice block, far away, then continued leading the group forward.

"Huo Gua, when you go back this time, do you want to stay in the academy or the sect?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's expression immediately became strange and somewhat resistant. The words sounded fine at first glance, but coming from Ye Nanxiao's mouth, they were problematic.

Based on his personal special detoxification method for Ye Nanxiao

Going back to the academy meant taking over Ye Nanxiao's teaching duties for the students in the Soul Guidance Department. After all, Ye Nanxiao was a scoundrel who just held a nominal position, received a salary, and didn't actually do any work, leaving Huo Yuhao to Qian Duoduo to pay off his debts.

Although Ye Nanxiao gave his salary to Huo Yuhao, he felt a sense of unease at the thought of facing hundreds or even thousands of new students in the Soul Guidance Department.

Returning to the sect is even easier to explain. When he goes back to work at the sect, he not only has to do his own job, but he also has to continue doing the work of the deputy sect leader.

"No, no, no! I plan to travel around the mainland first. Isn't the Sun Moon Empire at war? I plan to find an army to use as a backdrop and cause some trouble for the Sun Moon Empire!" Huo Yuhao said, shaking his head.

Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao realized that this kid still wanted to join the army and play the hidden identity game.

However, given the current situation, it seems this kid can't go anywhere.

Since the imperial palace nearly fell, Xingluo has upgraded the security of the entire empire to full martial law, following his advice.

Let alone Huo Yuhao wanting to join the army under a false name, he couldn't even bring himself to say it when it came to checking his ancestral origins.

If he wanted to fabricate one, he would have to deal with Ye Nanxiao's elaborate household registration investigation method.

This is not easy.

"If you join Xingluo and Tianhun now, you'll probably just be sent up as cannon fodder. The elite troops have already been mobilized, and you can't even get into the reserve team. If you really want to go to the front line, why don't you try joining the Hunter Organization?" Ye Nanxiao said.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao began to think.

The demon was so sleepy he could barely keep his eyes open, so he decided to take a nap. He had been very sleepy ever since he arrived at the bottom of the sea.

It might be because it can't see the light.

Neither of them noticed that the block of ice that had frozen the giant silver ringed squid suddenly changed after it had moved a certain distance away.

The ice block began to evolve limbs, eventually becoming the new "Ye Nanxiao".

Xiao Ye No. 3 stretched his limbs, glanced at the frozen giant squid, and turned to head in another direction.

A pattern of frozen flowers shimmered on his forehead, freezing the surrounding seawater into ice. He controlled the ice to create a passage, moving forward at a speed comparable to that of the Fish Dragon King.

One day later.

Mermaid Kingdom.

At the entrance to the kingdom's colossal statue, the merman high priest, accompanied by two powerful merman warriors wearing silver masks, floated silently.

He seemed to be waiting for something.

Behind him, on the avenue that was once filled with merfolk, only armored and sharp-armored merfolk warriors could be seen.

The powerful merfolk riding fish-dragons guard the various entrances to the merfolk kingdom.

At first glance, the Mermaid Kingdom appears to be on high alert.

Lijing and Liya sat quietly in the main hall of the kingdom with the mermaid queen.

Liya seemed to be unable to bear the tense and silent atmosphere.

"Mother Queen, are we about to go to war with some sea? Or has a powerful enemy invaded?"

The Mermaid Queen shook her head slightly, clutching the mermaid scepter tightly in her hand.

Regent leaned against the Fish Dragon King, toying with a piece of silk in her hand.

The latest novel is first published here!

Seeing that the Mermaid Queen refused to speak, Liya pouted slightly, picked up the little fish-dragon that was perched on her head, and held it in her arms.

"Don't worry, my child, we are just waiting for some distinguished guests." The Mermaid Queen explained when she saw her youngest daughter looking dejected.

"guest?"

Liya thought for a moment, wondering what kind of noble sea creatures would require the Mermaid Kingdom to receive them with such solemnity.

A moment later, she got the answer.

"People are coming to that place again!"

Liya clenched her small fists, her bright eyes now blazing with fury.

The Mermaid Queen gave a low, sharp rebuke: "Watch your words, Liya!"

Suddenly, the mermaid scepter in her hand glowed blue.

A tremor suddenly enveloped the entire Mermaid Kingdom.

In the distance, turbulent ocean currents surged in.

The merman high priest frowned slightly, raised his left hand, and pressed down with his palm.

The turbulent ocean currents, which resembled countless ferocious sea serpents, suddenly calmed down.

At the main mermaid palace, a blue pillar of light rose, like a passage connecting the sea and the sky, stabilizing the tremors of the mermaid kingdom.

The enormous black shadow gradually revealed its true form under the illumination of the blue beam of light.

The giant trecoccus twitched its claw slightly, releasing a red-hot bubble.

The two powerful mermaids behind the high priest manipulated the seawater, sending the asteroid-like red-hot bubbles flying.

"It's been a long time. You're still as enthusiastic as ever. You truly deserve to be the most special member of the giant crab clan." The mermaid high priest showed no displeasure whatsoever.

"Sorry, it was probably just too excited to see you again!"

The conch shell lifted a short, chubby tentacle and greeted the mermaid high priest, then the short, chubby tentacle slammed down.

In an instant, the giant crab trembled violently, looking as if it had been electrocuted.

The seabed trembled violently as the giant trepane shook.

The merman high priest remained calm and counted to five in his mind.

Five breaths later, the giant crab, as if it had been played with and broken, collapsed and sat on the ground.

The figures on its body remained motionless.

The conch shell leaped onto Luo Ku's body, and then Luo Ku floated up and slowly approached the mermaid high priest.

"High Priest, it has been five hundred sea god years since we last met." Luo Ku bowed, and the conch shell on his body also nodded slightly.

The merman high priest smiled and gestured for him to help her up. "It has indeed been a long time. Since your time is precious, let's get straight to the point. You've come for the Nautilus, haven't you?"

He took out a special green bag from behind him, and from it he took out a nautilus that had already begun to shine.

Huo Yuhao did not choose to take it with him. For him, the Nautilus had already served its purpose after it allowed him to briefly see the future.

"Yes, please leave it to me." The conch shell stretched out its short, plump tentacles.

The nautilus, which was twice the size of the conch shell, was held in the conch shell's hand like a toy.

"This is it. Who is the person Nautilus approves of?" Conch Tira asked.

"They've already left, but I did reveal the details of the secret realm in the ocean, which they can decide for themselves." The merman high priest nodded with a smile, but the curve of that smile remained unchanged.

"That won't do. Now that you've been recognized by Nautilus, you have to go to the secret land of the ocean to meet the sea god!" Nautilus said, sounding annoyed and seemingly very dissatisfied with this behavior.

"High Priest, you must have left some instructions for that guest, right?"

Conch Tira's tone was somewhat dissatisfied at this moment.

The merman high priest nodded. "We have provided guidance, and we have also left some guidance for that guest."

The mermaid high priest took out a crystal-clear seashell, about the size of a palm, with faint, arrow-like light emanating from it.

"Very good, you did a good job. No wonder the mermaid race is getting better and better in your hands." Conch Tira stretched out another tentacle and took the shell.

Upon hearing this, the merman high priest's smile cooled slightly.

"Would you like to come in and have a cup of shark fin tea?" he asked politely.

The conch shell waved its hand and swam back to the head of the giant trecoccus.

The mermaid Luo Ku looked directly at the high priest and asked, "High Priest, is Mo Yin still in the kingdom?" (End of Chapter)
