He was the captain of General Black Fish's bodyguards and his confidant.
With such cover and the ambush, Su Yu and the others managed to escape.
Two hours later, the Garuda stopped above a dark ruin.
Looking into the distance, one could clearly see a mountain range that stretched for countless li at the bottom of the water. It was pitch-black, like a black dragon.
"That is the Mysterious Crystal Mountain Range, the boundary between the mermaid tribe and the Yaksha tribe," Lüzhu said.
Su Yu put away the Nine-Emperor Shroud and nodded slightly. "Let's keep going."
"Wait, are you going to enter the Yaksha tribe's territory?" The scar-faced mermaid who was covering them asked in surprise.
Lüzhu cast a trusting look at Su Yu. "Yes, General Black Fish's power can only hold them off for a while. We plan to sneak into the Yaksha tribe's waters. In this way, they won't dare to pursue us."
The scar-faced mermaid thought about it and agreed. "You are right, Eldest Princess. General Hu and General Carp suddenly rebelled. General Black Fish was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. He could only retreat to a certain place on the Sacred Sky Warship with his remaining soldiers. When he heard that Eldest Princess had returned, General Black Fish suddenly attacked. Fortunately, he was in time and did not injure Eldest Princess."
Lüzhu was deeply moved. "I will remember General Black Fish's kindness to the royal family. When my father wakes up, I will definitely ask him to reward me generously. I just don't know how General Black Fish is now, and where he is."
"Eldest Princess, there is no need to worry. Although General Black Fish is no match for the two rebels, it is still very easy for him to leave." As he spoke, the scar-faced mermaid took out a small bag. "This is something General Black Fish prepared for Eldest Princess. It will allow you to use it peacefully for a hundred years."
Lüzhu looked ashamed. She had been persuaded by Su Yu and almost misunderstood General Black Fish's loyalty.
"Thank you, General Black Fish." Lüzhu took it and said nothing.
The scar-faced mermaid smiled lightly. "Eldest Princess, there is no need to be like this. General Black Fish is loyal to the royal family. Even if he dies, he will die without regrets. Eldest Princess, please take a look at the Cosmos Sack and see if there is anything missing. If there is, I can make it up to you."
"There is no need." The Eldest Princess felt even more apologetic. She symbolically opened the Cosmos Sack and glanced at it.
However, there was a sudden change.
The moment the bag was opened, a pink mist sprayed out from it.
Green Bead was caught off guard and was hit by the spray. She felt her whole body go limp, and the Mortal Fairy's Strength in her body became stagnant.
Even though she reacted quickly and threw the Qiankun Pouch out, she was still hit.
Standing up with great difficulty, Lüzhu raised her head to look at the scarred mermaid. She wanted to ask why, but the scarred mermaid, who had been loyal just a moment ago, now had a cold sneer in his eyes. Together with his scarred face, he looked even more ferocious.
"What a naive and adorable princess. No wonder General Blackfish said that he could play you two princesses in the palm of his hand with a little trick. Even someone like me can gain your trust with just a few words, let alone General Blackfish."
Green Bead was shocked. She could not believe her ears. "General Black Fish asked you to do this?"
"Of course." The scar-faced merman's lips curled into a mocking smile.
Green Bead's heart was bleeding, and the pain of being deceived filled her heart.
It turned out that all of Su Yu's guesses were true. Just a moment ago, she was still feeling guilty for suspecting General Black Fish.
But the truth slapped her hard in the face.
"He saved me on purpose?" Green Bead's face was calm, and a faint silver light flickered in her sleeves.
The scar-faced merman nodded. "That's right. Only by saving you and the Mermaid Emperor can General Black Fish be qualified to attract the people of the mermaid tribe! Now, everyone knows that General Hu and General Carp are hunting down the royal family, and General Black Fish saved them. Let me ask you, if General Black Fish makes a public appeal, who will the mermaid tribe support? "
Green Bead said coldly, "Is General Black Fish trying to use my father and me as puppets?"
"That's right. This is the only way he can control the mermaid tribe!" The scar-faced merman laughed mockingly and walked towards Green Bead.
Green Bead looked calm. "I am willing to cooperate with General Black Fish and become a puppet, but please let my father go …"
"No! The Mermaid Emperor must die! "
Green Bead was shocked. She gritted her teeth and said, "Then if he remains unconscious, can you spare his life …"
"No!" The scar-faced merman had a cold look on his face. "The Mermaid Emperor is too big a threat. He must die."
"Don't push me too far!!" Green Bead swished, and a shiny silver blade fell from her sleeves.
The scar-faced merman sneered. "You want to deal with me? Ridiculous … Wait, what are you doing? "
The blade in Green Bead's hand was not aimed at the scar-faced merman, but at her own chest.
Her face was full of determination. "Don't you want a puppet? If I die, where are you going to find a puppet? "
The smile on the scar-faced merman's face disappeared, and he stared coldly at Green Bead.
"Let them go, or else you can forget about getting anything!" Green Bead shouted.
But suddenly, Green Bead's body went limp. It was the effect of the drug. Her palm loosened, and the blade deviated from her chest.
At this moment, the scar-faced merman's eyes flashed, and he whipped his giant tail. The blow, which was imbued with divine power, sent Green Bead flying, and she spat out blood.
The blade in her hand was also easily knocked away.
Then, a fist landed hard on her abdomen, shattering her internal organs. She fell to the ground, seriously injured, and lost the ability to move.
The scar-faced merman retracted his fist, and his eyes were full of contempt. "You don't know what's good for you!"
Then, his cold eyes flashed, and he looked at Su Yu and the unconscious Mermaid Emperor with a sinister smile.
His eyes ignored Su Yu and fell on the Mermaid Emperor. "Haha, I didn't expect that there would come a day when I would kill the Mermaid Emperor with my own hands. It's a pity that someone like the Mermaid Emperor is going to die in the hands of a nobody like me."
Swish —
The scar-faced merman's figure flashed, and he flew over. His palm, which was imbued with divine power, went straight for the celestial spirit in the Mermaid Emperor's abdomen.
However, just as the palm was about to land, a palm reached out and blocked it.
The scar-faced merman glanced at Su Yu from the corner of his eye, and his nostrils flared. Instead of retreating, he moved forward, intending to destroy Su Yu's palm.
The two palms collided, and Su Yu's palm retracted.
The scar-faced merman was sneering when his face suddenly froze. There was a mass of black mist in his palm, exuding a shocking breath of death.
Then, the breath of death crawled up his arm and covered his whole body in an instant.
Black powder gradually peeled off from the surface of his body, and his whole body was turning into flying ash.
"You …" The scar-faced merman couldn't believe that Su Yu's palm contained such a terrifying power of death.
Poof —
A palm penetrated his abdomen and grabbed a mass of celestial spirit.
"Good stuff, don't waste it," Su Yu said lightly, and put away the celestial spirit without any expression.
The scar-faced merman's eyes darkened, and his whole body completely turned into black powder.
Lüzhu, who had fallen to the ground with serious injuries, was extremely shocked.
A late-stage Prospective Deity was killed with a single palm!
What kind of strength was he?
Su Yu walked over, and a touch of life force surged from his fingertips. He touched it between her eyebrows, and her injuries healed quickly.
At the same time, his right palm extracted the toxins from her body.
"Although in my opinion, you are hopelessly stupid, there is still something worth saving," Su Yu said lightly. Sacrificing herself twice to help her father was not something an ordinary woman could do.
Lüzhu's face was flushed. Su Yu's praise sounded deeply sarcastic to her.
Su Yu had warned her that General Black Fish was not reliable, but she still fell for it.
In fact, from the perspective of a normal person, she was not stupid. However, from Su Yu's point of view, Lüzhu had to admit that she was really stupid.
"I hope that after suffering a little, you will improve." Su Yu retracted his hand and said indifferently. He could have stopped this simple-minded princess from opening the Cosmos Sack, but he did nothing to stop her. It was precisely to teach her a lesson.
Lüzhu got up. She had a beautiful face, but she looked embarrassed in front of Su Yu. She lowered her head and said, "I know, I will listen to you in the future."
"There is no future. Save the Mermaid Emperor, get the information I want, and we will go our separate ways," Su Yu said lightly. He jumped onto the Garuda and continued to drive towards the Celestial Crystal Mountains.
Lüzhu smiled bitterly. He was as cold as ever. However, a sly look flashed in Lüzhu's eyes. She raised her chin proudly and said to herself, "Going our separate ways is not something you can do just because you want to."
An hour later, they arrived at the Mysterious Crystal Mountain Range, and Su Yu retracted his palm.
"The poison in the Mermaid Emperor's body has been cleansed, and he should wake up soon." Su Yu put the Mermaid Emperor down.
Lüzhu breathed a sigh of relief. The awakening of the Mermaid Emperor was a foregone conclusion. The chaotic situation of the mermaid tribe could finally come to an end.
Now, all he had to do was wait for the Mermaid Emperor to wake up, and Su Yu would leave after getting the information he wanted.
Thinking of this, Su Yu took out the bright red bead given to him by Lüzhu and said, "Is this the legacy of the Mermaid Emperor, the Mermaid Emperor's Blood Bead?"
Green Bead nodded. "Yes, getting it is equivalent to accepting the inheritance of the Mermaid Emperor. If the Mermaid Emperor wakes up and sees this bead, even if he wants to break the contract, he will have to consider your identity as the heir."
"Is that so?" Su Yu was deep in thought.
Su Yu had already cultivated to the Mortal Fairy Stage Four. It was time to prepare to break through to the Prospective Deity Stage.
It was different from the previous realms, where one only needed to have enough power.
To break through to Prospective Deity, one had to achieve perfection on the Divine Path.
Any Prospective Deity had comprehended a certain Divine Path to the extreme before becoming a Deity.
Su Yu's Divine Path was Defiance, but the strange thing was that Su Yu already had two Celestial Origins before he had even condensed his Divine Path.
Under such circumstances, how could he break through to the Prospective Deity Stage? There was no one's cultivation experience to refer to.
Therefore, Su Yu could only refer to the Divine Path of the deities and find his own way to become a Deity from their Divine Paths.
With a shift of thought, Su Yu comprehended the Divine Path in the Mermaid Emperor's Blood Bead.
As soon as he comprehended, Su Yu frowned, opened his eyes abruptly, and asked, "Green Bead, has the Divine Path of the Mermaid Emperor always been the Thunder Path?"
Green Bead blinked her beautiful aquamarine eyes. "Yes, the mermaid is good at controlling the Divine Path of the water attribute. The Mermaid Emperor of the past generations has always been a type of Thunder, Water Thunder."
"How is that possible?" Su Yu suddenly looked at the body of the Mermaid Emperor behind him, and his pupils flickered violently.
However, to Su Yu's surprise, the body of the Mermaid Emperor had disappeared!
"Oh no, I think we may have made a mistake!" Su Yu suddenly got up, staring at death, and his face instantly became solemn.
Green Bead also stared at the missing body of the Mermaid Emperor with a stiff expression, with a blank look on her face.
At that moment, a long sigh resounded in their ears like thunder.
