Jiao Zhu died in the end. The queen exhausted every means at her disposal, but still could not save her.
She wanted to seek out the people from the Enforcement Hall, only to discover that they had long since taken the key and gone who knew where.
Never had she hated anything so much. Because of the restriction, the merfolk could not leave the Nine Nether Sea.
It was also because of this that Jiao Zhu had misunderstood her father, believing he simply did not want her to go outside, never knowing that they could not leave at all.
Yes, she had wondered why the people from the Enforcement Hall would let them off so easily. They had honored their agreement and had not put her and her daughters to death.
But they had killed the black water snake. Seen this way, the karmic cause and effect truly could not fall upon Xia Jue.
He had probably calculated all of this long ago as well.
Dejected and lost, the queen kept watch over her elder daughter, who remained unconscious. Looking at the merfolk, left broken and battered by war, she suddenly felt that perhaps this was simply fate.
At the same time, after being dragged into the rift, Su Jiu suffered another grievous injury.
This time, it was because the change in the space she occupied had altered the laws, causing her contract with Jiao Zhen to break automatically.
Because it was the space she occupied that had changed, it was counted as her forcibly terminating the contract.
Her aura was terribly unstable now. Had she had the strength, even with her composure, she probably would have let a stream of curses fly.
In the end, however, she could not withstand the severity of her injuries and fell unconscious.
