On the day of the Sea God Ceremony, the Sacred City was filled with people.
The surrounding audience discussed animatedly, and it was very noisy.
Fang Yuan was in the crowd, carefully observing these saintesses with an eerie gaze.
In his plan, he would choose one of them and support her to become the Saintess of this generation.
…
"Support the Saintess?"
"That's right, the Frost Tide tribe leader spent a lot of effort to support Lady Qiu Shuang."
Xie Han Mo's Blue Scaled and Red Scaled Scaled Guards exchanged a look when they heard the news. They could see the worry in each other's eyes.
In the hall, Fang Yuan sat at the side and gritted his teeth. His expression was not good either.
Previously, Xie Han Mo resisted the supervisor and protected Fang Yuan, causing the rumors to grow even stronger. Finally, it caused the Merfolk Sacred Court to reconvene the Sea God Ceremony to select the Saintess.
"This is a scheme. The other party knows that the Saintess is kind and will not give up on me, thus creating this situation. "Fang Yuan sighed and felt that he was a burden to Xie Han Mo.
Xie Han Mo glanced at him and smiled: "Fang Yuan, don't blame yourself. If we had given up on you back then, there would have been rumors saying that I was heartless and heartless, and it would have been a blow to my prestige. "
"Saintess, you don't need to comfort me at this time." Fang Yuan smiled bitterly: "These two types of rumors are very different. I have been with you for a long time, how can I not know?"
Xie Han Mo smiled: "Alright, let's not talk about this, it does not help the situation."
Fang Yuan, Lan Lin, and Chi Lin's expressions changed and they adjusted their emotions.
Xie Han Mo continued: "The position of the Saintess is not easy to sit on. I just started investigating the corruption and someone wanted to pull me down from my position. This shows how serious the corruption of the elders in the Sacred Court is! Everyone, don't be too pessimistic. Although we are reconvening the Sea God Ceremony, I have not lost my right, right? It's not that easy to nurture a Saintess. "
Where there were people, there would be society.
This sentence was very suitable for the merfolk.
There were also schemes and conflicts among the Merfolk, as well as disputes over interests.
The saintess had a high status and power. If the internal forces of the Merfolk could not support a saintess, they would definitely be favored and taken care of by the government for a period of time, and they would obtain even greater benefits.
Generally speaking, mermaid girls who could compete for the Saintess usually had a powerful background or one or two powerful forces standing behind them.
…
In the Undersea Sacred City, the melodious singing gradually stopped, and intense drumbeats rang out one after another.
On the square, there were only a few mermaid girls left. They danced tirelessly, each displaying their ambition to compete for the position of saintess.
Fang Yuan stood outside the plaza and looked over. These seven mermaid girls were all beauties. Some were charming, some were youthful, some were cute, and some were dignified.
At the center of the plaza was an enormous spirit spring known as the Sea Deity Spring. The spring water gushed out, supporting an aged mermaid nanny. She was precisely the great clan elder of this mermaid race.
The grand elder glanced at the seven mermaid girls and nodded slightly. He said in a deep voice, "Saintess' first test, Fishing Golden Needle in Black Oil."
The moment he said that, more than ten strength path Gu Masters carried a huge water vat and entered the square.
Thud thud thud …
With a series of heavy sounds, seven water vats were placed in front of the seven mermaid girls. The huge water vats were several times taller than them, the mermaid girls had to float up to see the contents of the water vats.
The water jar was filled with thick black oil. The content of the first test was to fish out a golden needle the size of a cow's hair from the black oil within a set amount of time.
"I request for my follower to go up." The white scaled mermaid Su Yi looked at the huge water vat in front of her and said calmly.
"Permission granted." The grand elder looked at Su Yi deeply.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous." Xia Lin encouraged herself internally as she walked up to the square uneasily.
"What's going on? The great Lady Su Yi actually invited a rank two Gu Master to be her follower? "
"Don't be anxious, Su Yi made this choice, this little mermaid definitely has something special about her."
The surrounding people discussed.
"It's her?" Fang Yuan looked at Xia Lin and frowned, to think that this girl was the most popular follower of the saintess candidate.
Gather oil Gu!
Xia Lin floated to the water vat and activated this rank five Gu worm.
In an instant, the black oil in the vat moved, it was extracted by Xia Lin and gathered in her raised palm, disappearing without a trace.
The crowd went into an uproar.
"This is the aura of a rank five Gu Master!"
"She is only a rank two Gu Master, but she can use a rank five Gu worm? Am I seeing things? "
"I understand, this should be the rank five gather oil Gu that has been spreading like wildfire recently."
"So this little mermaid has such a top tier Gu worm, no wonder she was recruited by Su Yi and became her follower!"
Gather oil Gu's effect was not just for show, after a while, the water vat was empty, there was a shiny golden needle at the bottom of the vat.
The crowd went into an uproar.
Countless heated gazes landed on Xia Lin.
Xia Lin was even more nervous, her face was flushed red, she had a cute and helpless look.
Su Yi looked at her as she smiled, thinking: "Recruiting her was the right choice."
In the first round of the test, Su Yi relied on Xia Lin's stunning performance to gain the limelight.
Fang Yuan's gaze was like a deep abyss, he followed the crowd and left the square: "In the first round of the test, six out of the seven candidates advanced, looking at their performance, they came prepared. Evidently, the test's topic was leaked in advance. "
…
Pale green flames burned in front of Xie Han Mo, forming a path of fire.
Qiu Shuang, who was also a white-scaled mermaid, had already walked over, standing at the other end of the path of fire as she looked at Xie Han Mo with ridicule: "Previous saintess, it is up to you now."
"Damn it! This eerie fire burns souls, it can only be resisted by a specific Gu worm. We had already made ample preparations, but to think that the first round of the test would be so unorthodox! "
"Even more despicable is that Qiu Shuang really had a Gu worm to resist the eerie fire. Is this luck? Hmph! She probably knew about it long ago. This is Frost Tide tribe's scheme, this is blatant corruption! "
The two guards, Lan and Chi, were filled with righteous indignation.
"Let me do it." Fang Yuan walked to Xie Han Mo who was frowning.
"You?" Xie Han Mo's clear eyes sized up Fang Yuan.
"Trust me this once, I have confidence." Fang Yuan's eyes shined with bright light as he looked at Xie Han Mo.
The two stared at each other for a while before Xie Han Mo moved her gaze.
"Be careful, this eerie fire is not simple … if you cannot endure it, leave halfway." Xie Han Mo said.
Fang Yuan laughed heartily, he turned around and walked into the eerie fire.
Pain!
Extreme pain burst out from the depths of his soul, attacking Fang Yuan's entire body in an instant.
Fang Yuan's body shook intensely as he walked forward with difficulty.
He clenched his teeth until they bled.
He stared angrily, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
His soul was being roasted and melted in the flames. Fortunately, he had two lifetimes' worth of experience, and his identity as an otherworldly demon. The effects of the eerie fire were slightly weaker to him.
He would not give up halfway because he knew that if he took Xie Han Mo's place, it meant that if he failed, Xie Han Mo would fail too.
When he finally walked the path of the eerie fire, the entire place was in an uproar. Countless shocked gazes focused on him.
Countless Mermen were moved.
Fang Yuan tried his best to smile, but in the next moment, he completely fainted.
But just as he was about to fall to the ground, Xie Han Mo rushed over and held him in her arms.
"Don't worry, I will not let you down." Xie Han Mo looked deeply at Fang Yuan, then at Qiu Shuang. For the first time, a cold light appeared in her eyes that were as gentle as water.
Thanks to Fang Yuan's desperate struggle, Xie Han Mo got past a trap that she had set up meticulously.
The second trial, the third trial, the fourth trial … …
She advanced triumphantly, quickly overshadowing the other competitors. Only Mermaid Qiu Shuang had a chance.
"It seems that Lady Xie Han Mo has a high chance of keeping the position of Saintess." Outside, Fang Yuan's face was still pale. He sat weakly, but his expression was one of joy.
"This is all thanks to you, Fang Yuan. Without your performance in the first trial, we would not have reached this stage."
"Hahaha, you successfully walked the path of fire. Everyone was dumbfounded. A few days later, you woke up again. You don't know how many Mermen in Holy City were shocked by the news that you are still alive! "
The Blue Scaled and Chili Scaled guards laughed loudly.
Fang Yuan, however, restrained his joy. "Be careful. The current situation is very advantageous to us, but the other party will not let this go."
Fang Yuan had expected the Frost Tide tribe leader to make a move, but he did not expect it to be in such a sinister manner.
In the room, the Chili Scaled guard knelt on the ground, his face flushed red. "Saintess, please allow me to fight and wash away their slander and injustice. How could I bully a widow?! "
Xie Han Mo sighed. "Get up. I know your character, but the current situation is clearly the other party's scheme. If you rush out rashly, you will definitely let the person who set you up succeed. "
The Blue Scaled guard's face was full of worry. "This widow is no ordinary widow. She is the widow of the Holy Court's Third Elder, Bu Su Lian. The other party's scheme is too vicious. I'm afraid that the supervisor will arrive soon and detain the Chili Scaled guard for interrogation. If that happens, the Chili Scaled guard will not be able to participate in the next trial. Our strength will be greatly reduced! "
Fang Yuan continued, "This widow of the Third Elder, Bu Su Lian, was actually willing to give up her reputation to harm the Chili Scaled guard. She must have a deep relationship with the Frost Tide tribe leader's faction. Her corruption must be very serious. Otherwise, she would not have come into the fray. Since the other party could set up such a scheme, they must have made ample preparations. If we insist on clarifying the truth, we will fall into the other party's trap. Only by making the best of a mistake will we have a chance to turn things around. "
"How do we make the best of a mistake?"
"It's simple. Let me be the scapegoat," Fang Yuan said calmly.
The Blue Scaled and Chili Scaled guards widened their eyes and stared at Fang Yuan.
"No." Xie Han Mo firmly rejected the idea.
