Chapter 954: Chapter 2904
“…”
“…”
The nearby whispering of the Mermaid People soldiers seemed oblivious, not realizing their conversation had been overheard word for word by Gu Changsheng and Xuanyuan Mu, who were hiding behind the coral reef not far away….
“Gu Changsheng? Me?”
Gu Changsheng incredulously pointed at himself, his Phoenix Eyes widening in disbelief.
“Yes!” Xuanyuan Mu nodded.
It was clear that the person mentioned in the Kill-on-Sight Order by those Mermaid People soldiers was undoubtedly Gu Changsheng!
“What the heck! Are you kidding me? I’ve never even entered the Underwater World. When did I offend the Eldest Princess of the Mermaid People, to the point she issued a Kill-on-Sight Order against me?” Gu Changsheng exclaimed, eyes wide, face full of anger, “No way! They must have made a mistake, I need to see that Kill-on-Sight Order myself!”
Saying this, Gu Changsheng promptly stepped out from behind the coral.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Mu tried to stop him, but it was already too late, so he had no choice but to follow Gu Changsheng out….
Compared to Baobao and Beibei, Gu Changsheng’s cultivation level was on a completely different level, not to mention, she had Xuanyuan Mu’s support….
So….
“Ah!”
“An assassin!”
“…”
“…”
The Mermaid People soldiers hardly had time to shout a few cries of alarm before they were efficiently dispatched by Gu Changsheng and Xuanyuan Mu….
“A Kill-on-Sight Order? Targeting me? What a joke, as if I’m one of your useless troops from the Underwater World you think you can just eliminate at will? Hmph!” Looking at the bodies of the Mermaid People soldiers sinking to the ocean floor, Gu Changsheng snorted coldly, extending his hand to grab the floating Kill-on-Sight Order nearby….
As he opened it, Gu Changsheng’s face immediately turned dark….
“It’s me!” On the page that the scroll opened to, although the artist wasn’t very skilled, Gu Changsheng could tell that it was indeed a drawing of himself….
“Not just me, you’re here too!” Quickly, Gu Changsheng handed the scroll to Xuanyuan Mu….
On that Kill-on-Sight Order, not only was there a drawing of Gu Changsheng, but also Xuanyuan Mu, and even Di Linyuan, Elder Wen, Baobao and Beibei, Shadow, none excluded….
In short….
Everyone in Gu Changsheng’s group, regardless of age, was all included without exception!
“!!!” Upon seeing the scroll, Xuanyuan Mu’s face also turned dark….
It was them!
Not a single one missing!
They had clearly been floating on the sea, never entering the Underwater World, so why were their portraits appearing in the Underwater World?
Moreover, they became targets for assassination?
This wasn’t normal!
This was very abnormal!
“Could it be because of Baobao and Beibei?” Xuanyuan Mu couldn’t help but speculate.
After all, Baobao and Beibei had entered the Underwater World first, and it was very likely they had gotten involved in the chaos there. If this was the reason their portraits fell into the hands of the Mermaid People’s Imperial Family and became targets of the Eldest Princess, that wouldn’t be too surprising!
“No! Impossible!” Gu Changsheng shook his head at these words, “Even if Baobao and Beibei got caught up in the Mermaid People’s chaos, they would never be captured. As long as they aren’t captured, there’s no way the Mermaid People could have our portraits. These portraits definitely came from somewhere else! It’s certainly not because of Baobao and Beibei!”
To this, Gu Changsheng held a contrary view….
He knew his two little daughters well enough to be certain that even if they caused trouble and got caught, they would never betray the rest of them….
On this point….
Gu Changsheng was quite confident!
After all, the children he’d raised himself, how could he not trust?
“You’re right, but then where did these portraits come from? We don’t seem to have offended the Mermaid People’s Eldest Princess….” Xuanyuan Mu said, extending the scroll forward and speaking in a low voice.
“Heh! Looks like it’s her who’s behind this!” Hearing this, Gu Changsheng thought for a moment, then sneered, “I’ve underestimated her, to think she’d manage to enter the Underwater World, and not only that, become acquainted with the Eldest Princess of the Mermaid People!”
Gu Changsheng was convinced that Gu Tianyao wasn’t dead!
As long as Gu Tianyao is not dead, then, with Gu Tianyao’s deep hatred towards them, she would definitely follow behind them, so…
It’s no surprise she came to this Underwater World!
“You mean… Gu Tianyao? Is she really still alive?” Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Mu also thought of Gu Tianyao, but he had always held a skeptical attitude towards Gu Tianyao’s life or death.
“That’s right! It’s her!” Gu Changsheng nodded and said, “The Goddess Gu Tianyao from the Mirror Lake Holy Land is indeed not to be underestimated; she actually has the ability to enter the Underwater World!”
Gu Tianyao!
An old adversary!
Knowing who the opponent is, Gu Changsheng did not panic, because the unknown is often the most terrifying!
Because hidden dangers are often much more dangerous than visible ones, but clearly, this Gu Tianyao’s tricks are just like that…
“So what do we do now?” Hearing that Gu Tianyao was still alive, Xuanyuan Mu didn’t have any unusual reaction because in Xuanyuan Mu’s eyes, Gu Tianyao was just an evil woman whose appearance he couldn’t remember, not worth mentioning at all.
“Do nothing, just continue looking for our daughter!” Gu Changsheng snorted coldly, saying, “She thinks issuing a Kill-on-Sight Order from the Mermaid People’s Eldest Princess can end our lives. Hmph, she underestimates us and overestimates the Mermaid People! Does she really think she’s the only one who can stir up troubles in this underwater world? Does she really think I’m dead?”
Needless to say, Gu Changsheng could already guess that the Mermaid People’s turmoil might not be unrelated to Gu Tianyao!
Otherwise, why would the Mermaid People suddenly start a turmoil precisely when their group arrived at the Mermaid People’s sea area!
Apparently, Gu Tianyao has definitely caused quite a stir there!
“What are you intending to do?” Xuanyuan Mu couldn’t help but ask as he watched the big eyes of Gu Changsheng spin in circles.
“What do I want to do? Of course, it’s to let Gu Tianyao’s plans fall through, and also let the Mermaid People’s Eldest Princess, who has been colluding with Gu Tianyao, come up empty-handed as well!” Gu Changsheng shrugged nonchalantly.
Originally, Gu Changsheng had no interest in the Mermaid People’s internal chaos…
But…
There’s no choice…
Gu Tianyao got involved, made her presence felt, and even put their entire group on the Mermaid People’s wanted list…
How could Gu Changsheng endure this?
If it couldn’t be endured, then it could only be met with retribution; retribution being given in kind, after all!
By sheer coincidence, power manipulation is what Gu Changsheng excels at, though Gu Changsheng doesn’t particularly enjoy being the kind of person who plays with power, but…
Who let Gu Tianyao push her to this?
Anyway, they’ve left the Imperial Capital now, and the people around her all have strength to protect themselves. Even Baobao and Beibei, who didn’t have any protective ability, were protected by Ao Yue, Gu Changsheng, and Xuanyuan Mu, so Gu Changsheng wasn’t worried about Gu Tianyao attempting some sort of sneak attack…
So…
Let’s just throw ourselves into this battle!
Who’s afraid of whom?
Isn’t that right?
“Oh you…” Xuanyuan Mu was left speechless as he watched Gu Changsheng’s eyes light up…
He finally knew from whom Baobao and Beibei inherited their competitive nature. Turns out they inherited it from this woman!
Look at her, getting excited just for a chance to fight with Gu Tianyao…
Having made up her mind, Gu Changsheng didn’t delay on their journey, either avoiding Mermaid People’s soldiers or taking them down right away…
Because Gu Changsheng discovered that this Mermaid People’s Eldest Princess Skate was truly a dominator within the Mermaid People, looking across the entire Mermaid People tribe, having crossed the central sea area of the Mermaid People’s territory, most of the Mermaid People soldiers she encountered belonged to the Eldest Princess Skate…
Tsk tsk…
“Looks like the Mermaid People’s Eldest Princess really is unchallenged within the Mermaid People, her influence spreads across the entire tribe!” Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but mutter as she walked.
Her words happened to be overheard by a passing Fish Person from the Mermaid People. The Fish Person, who hadn’t yet transformed, was immediately displeased upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s words, the fish face full of anger, “Nonsense! That’s not true at all! The Mermaid People are not all under Eldest Princess Skate’s dominion! At least not in the East County! In the East County, we only recognize a single leader, and that is Second Princess Yushu!”
“Second Princess Yushu? The rebel Second Princess Yushu from the Mermaid People?” Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but curl her lips upon hearing this.
The Mermaid People’s Second Princess Yushu, Gu Changsheng had naturally heard of her…
Along the way, Gu Changsheng and Xuanyuan Mu encountered quite a few Mermaid People civilians, so they had heard some of their conversations and naturally learned that the Mermaid People’s Second Princess Yushu was plotting rebellion, just like them, they were being wanted…
“Nonsense! Who said our Second Princess rebelled? Who said our Second Princess is a traitor? Our Second Princess hasn’t rebelled, hasn’t betrayed! It’s all Eldest Princess Skate’s conspiracy, to eliminate dissidents by any means for her ambition of becoming the Mermaid People’s New Emperor. We only got trapped by her scheme, which is why our Second Princess was framed!” That Fish Person heatedly refuted upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s words…
“Oh… That’s how it is… No wonder I was puzzled over how the war within the Mermaid People began, but it turns out it’s internal strife, a war between the Court and the East County?” Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng suddenly understood, she had been wondering about this before…
