Gu Yuena lowered her eyes, her gaze falling on the group of mermaids who were approaching. She looked them over for a moment, and finally settled on the two petite mermaids at the head of the group.
Judging from their appearances alone, these two mermaids bear at least a 70% resemblance to the Sea Princess who died at Lin Mo's hands.
The only difference is the color of their crowns; the larger one has a silver crown, while the smaller one has a gold one.
"Who are you? Why do you trespass on the sacred grounds of my Mermaid Clan?"
The silver-crowned mermaid, Princess Regent Lijing, suppressed her unease, gently swayed her tail, stepped forward, and asked.
"This..."
But when she saw clearly the still-warm corpse behind Lin Mo and Gu Yuena, her pupils contracted sharply, her face changed drastically, and her previously steady voice suddenly trembled:
"Guards, charge! Take them down!"
As Lijing finished speaking, the mermaid guards who had gathered around gripped their tridents and surrounded Lin Mo and Gu Yuena.
However, their expressions changed drastically when they saw the scene inside the room.
"How... how is this possible?"
"How could the Sea Princess possibly die at their hands?"
This horrifying scene caused them to whisper amongst themselves, as if this could soothe their unease.
The patriarch of the Mermaid Clan, Sea Princess with over 600,000 years of cultivation, is the true ruler of this ocean.
In the hearts of the Mermaid Clan warriors, the Sea Princess was second only to the Sea God; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was the second Sea God.
But now, the god has fallen!
"Mother..."
The golden-crowned mermaid, Princess Li Ya, gazed at her mother's corpse, her voice choked with sobs.
"Quiet down, all of you!"
A sharp shout suddenly rang out, accompanied by a terrifying pressure that swept across the entire area.
A submissive instinct, ingrained in their very blood, led them to obey the commands of the one who spoke.
"Very good."
Gu Yuena surveyed the reactions of the mermaids around her with satisfaction, then slowly withdrew the Silver Dragon King's aura that she had previously released into her body.
She pointed to the Sea Princess's corpse not far away, her tone cold:
"It seems that too much time has passed. The Sea Soul Beast have been under the command of the Sea God for too long and have forgotten the majesty of the Dragon God."
Or are you all prepared to become, like her, unwavering traitors?
Upon hearing this, the surrounding mermaids exchanged bewildered glances.
Lijing and Li Ya exchanged a glance, and they began to speculate about the identity of the stunning woman who had suddenly appeared around their mother's corpse.
This person is likely one of the backup plans left behind by the Dragon Clan, and most likely the true master of the Soul Beasts behind Di Tian in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Have they come to settle scores with these Sea Soul Beast who once betrayed their faith in the Dragon God and turned to serve the Sea God?
Otherwise, they couldn't think of any other reason why this person would suddenly come to their door today and kill their mother without saying a word.
Thinking of this, a look of sorrow appeared on the faces of Lijing and Li Ya.
Li Ya took one last look at her mother, tears streaming down her face. Her golden fishtail swayed gently as she stood before Lijing.

He shielded everyone behind him.
Chao Gu Yuena bowed deeply, performing the highest-level exclusive salute of the merfolk, and then spoke:
"Your Majesty, it is not that our Mermaid Clan are traitors, it is that we are not."
I hope Your Majesty will forgive me.
Tens of thousands of years ago, when the Sea God, who had not yet become a god, came to us, he conquered all the Sea Soul Beast with his supreme power, including our Mermaid Clan.
In order for our people to survive, we will not choose to temporarily submit to the Sea God.
"If possible, our Mermaid Clan would also like to return to the embrace of the Dragon God. I wonder if we are still qualified?"
Li Ya asked, and then she carefully observed Gu Yuena's expression.
Upon hearing Li Ya's words, a smile appeared on Lin Mo's face, while Gu Yuena remained silent.
She hadn't expected the little mermaid to be so perceptive, actually taking the initiative to submit.
I thought I'd have to commit some unnecessary bloodshed to subdue these mermaids.
Soon after, amidst the trembling fear of the mermaids, Gu Yuena parted her red lips slightly and said calmly:
"Golden-Crowned Mermaid, now that you have inherited the golden bloodline of your Mermaid Clan, you are from this day forward the patriarch of the Mermaid Clan, the new Sea Princess."
"My lord, just call me Li Ya..." Li Ya said cautiously, her voice trembling.
"Yes, Li Ya."
Gu Yuena, seemingly unconcerned, pointed to the other mermaids not far away:
"As for you, I will assume for the time being that you were forced into this situation, and I will forgive you for the time being."
However, from now on you must abandon your faith in the Sea God and rediscover your faith in the Dragon God, otherwise...
"This is the final warning, and your last chance, you Sea Soul Beast. If you continue to blindly believe in the Sea God, you know better than I what the consequences will be."
"That's certainly the case!" Li Ya nodded quickly.
Seeing this, Lijing and the other mermaids hurriedly expressed their agreement.
"Very good, that's excellent."
Gu Yuena nodded in satisfaction. "In that case, your next task is to conquer other Sea Soul Beast clans, make those traitorous clans realize their mistakes, and help them regain their former faith..."
Do you understand?
"Understood, Li Ya understands." Li Ya nodded quickly, though there was a slight hesitation in her voice:
"However, there is one thing I still want to ask, sir. With the strength of our Mermaid Clan, even without Mother's presence, conquering other Soul Beast clans is not a difficult task."
"But there's one thing that worries me: if this accidentally attracts the attention of the Sea God, wouldn't the whole plan be ruined?"
Gu Yuena glanced at Li Ya, seeing right through her little scheme:
"Don't worry, you can focus on your work. The Sea God won't interfere in matters of the ocean."
"As you command," Li Ya replied.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes still held fear as she looked at Lin Mo and Gu Yuena.
These two are incredibly powerful and their ambitions are enormous.
These two were able to kill their mother silently, without fear of the Sea God's threat.
This indicates that their strength far surpasses theirs, and they may even be legendary God Level powerhouses.
Faced with such an absolute disparity in strength, numbers have become meaningless.
Even if the entire Mermaid Clan ganged up on them, they wouldn't be able to kill the murderer of their mother; the most likely outcome would be the destruction of their entire clan.
My mother is dead; that's a fact, an irreversible fact.
As the heir chosen by her mother long ago, all she has to do is fulfill her mother's last wish and lead the Mermaid Clan to continue on.
Everything else is illusory.
"Mother, I hope you won't blame me." Li Ya sighed inwardly.
At this moment, Gu Yuena's voice rang out again. "If you encounter any difficulties in the process of subduing the faith, remember my name, Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena!"
Li Ya nodded, but before she could react, she caught a glimpse of the two people out of the corner of her eye and saw that they had disappeared.
The other mermaids around them were stunned for a moment. After confirming that Lin Mo and Gu Yuena had really left, they all sighed and breathed a sigh of relief.
The pressure had been immense; they hadn't even dared to breathe loudly, fearing they might inadvertently anger these two Death God and bring about their own and their clan's annihilation.
"Sister, cheer up! Mother is gone. From now on, the Mermaid Clan will depend on the two of us."
Li Ya stepped forward and gently hugged her sister, trying to suppress her own grief as she offered words of comfort.
She said, "I'm leaving the arrangements for Mother's funeral to you. I need to gather the clan elders to discuss how to carry out the orders given by Lord Silver Dragon King."
Lijing nodded, Sheer Force suppressing the tears welling up in her eyes, and turned to look at her mother's body, crying out in her heart, "Mother!"
On the other side, Gu Yuena, who had been Teleport away from the Ocean Temple by Lin Mo, could hardly show any joy on her face.
Very good. In this way, we can start by getting these Sea Soul Beast to regain their faith in the Dragon God, and complete the first step in the plan to make the dragon race great again.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuena couldn't help but steal a glance at Lin Mo beside her.
With Lin Mo's help, everything should proceed smoothly.
Whether it's for the continuation of the Soul Beast or for making the dragon race great again, everything can proceed smoothly.
Soon, while Gu Yuena was pondering, the two quietly arrived at their destination, the Evil Demon Forest.
Above the core area of Evil Demon Forest.
Lin Mo and Gu Yuena stood side by side, looking down at the scenery below, which was completely different from the Star Dou Great Forest.
Lin Mo quickly withdrew the divine power he had used for probing, his brows furrowing slightly.
Not long ago, there seemed to have been a battle here, or rather, two battles.
One battle took place in the core area of Evil Demon Forest, while the other was held in the heart of the Evil Demon Forest, very close to it.
Only a battle between Limit Douluo- level opponents could leave such an aftershock.
"Did Grandpa and Grandpa Qian come here?"
Lin Mo thought to himself, "Otherwise, how could the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult have been so easily destroyed and reduced to ashes?"
Lin Mo could no longer detect any trace of anything related to the Holy Spirit Cult.
Realizing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but shake his head.
Qian Daoliu was indeed ruthless in his actions. Seeing that he possessed the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, his hatred of evil and his vow to kill Evil Soul Master were not just empty words.
"The Soul Beast that's currently sleeping underground, whose spiritual power seems to be even greater than that of Di Tian, is your target for this trip, the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator, right?" Gu Yuena pointed downwards and asked.
"That's right."
Lin Mo nodded. "After I've taken him down and absorbed the Evil Eye External Soul Bone he was bound to produce, I should be able to get my hands on other things."
At this point, Lin Mo looked up at the sky, his tone filled with anticipation:
"Once all these things are done, I should ascend to the Divine Realm Divine Realm to meet Sea God Tang San there..."
Seeing Lin Mo's eager expression, Gu Yuena shook her head repeatedly.
Sea God Tang San, is truly unlucky to be targeted by Lin Mo.
She didn't think the Sea God would be a match for Lin Mo.
Soon, Gu Yuena's gaze shifted back to the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator below, and she murmured to herself:
"Speaking of which, I seem to have sensed the aura of this Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator in the Star Dou Great Forest before."
"That seems to have happened thousands of years ago. Back then, this Great Evil Eye somehow managed to capture the Ice Silkworm from among Di Tian and the others."
"It relied on its own strength and was the number one Ferocious Beast of the Sun Moon Empire. It went directly to the Lake of Life and fought a great battle with Di Tian, trying to steal the Ice Silkworm."
Unfortunately, he ultimately couldn't withstand Di Tian. After being defeated by Di Tian, and seeing that persuasion through Ice Silkworm was hopeless, he chose to flee.
At this point, Gu Yuena's tone became playful.
"This guy's strength is quite impressive. Apart from Di Tian, no other Ferocious Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest can match him."
Moreover, if he had actually managed to steal the Ice Silkworm back then, he might have been able to use that opportunity to cause some trouble for the Sea God.
If this guy could really persuade the Ice Silkworm Ice Silkworm absorb and merge with its original power, then with the combined strength of the two of them, they might actually be able to create a Godhood.
"Impossible!"
Hearing this, Lin Mo shook his head decisively. " Soul Beast cannot become gods, that's an ironclad rule..."
Unless there is external interference, even with multiple levels of power, Soul Beast can only infinitely approach the God Level, but will never be able to cross that final threshold.
At this point, Lin Mo reached out and touched his chin, seemingly lost in thought, "With the Evil Emperor's abilities, if he could really devour the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm..."
It should have little problem surviving the eighth and ninth Heavenly Tribulation, but it will inevitably perish under the tenth Heavenly Tribulation.
"The rules, it's that same rule again..." Gu Yuena was silent for a moment, then sighed deeply.
She once again harbored deep doubts about this rule, which was extremely harsh for their Soul Beast and dragon race.
Who exactly set these rules?
This is practically trying to kill those Soul Beast!
"Hmm, it seems we've lingered a bit too long."
Lin Mo, carrying Gu Yuena, slowly descended, glancing at the tentative spiritual energy reaching outwards, and smiled slightly:
"This guy's mental strength is quite sharp, but in that case, it can't just die peacefully without knowing anything."
After saying that, Lin Mo reached out and made a grabbing motion in the air, and the invisible hand forcibly Sheer Force the true form of the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator from underground.
The Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator, with a diameter exceeding three hundred meters and surrounded by three hundred and sixty tentacles, appeared in Lin Mo's field of vision.
"Tsk, as expected, he's destined to be Cthulhu." Lin Mo remarked, while subtly raising his hand to gently pat the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator.
Unable to move, the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator could only watch helplessly as those jade-like, slender hands landed on him.
An unprecedented panic rose in the enormous eye at the center of its body. It no longer cared about resting and accumulating strength after the eighth Heavenly Tribulation and released all its spiritual power at once.
But it was still to no avail; its originally invincible spiritual power was completely ineffective against this person's Frillish palm strike.
A deep despair rose in the heart of the Evil Emperor.
What exactly happened?
Is this really just my unlucky streak lately?
Not long ago I encountered a madman who was Limit Douluo, and that was bad enough, but today I actually ran into a god who came to my door specifically to kill me!
What kind of mess is this?!
Did I do something that deserves so much Spite?
Soon, with a gentle touch of his palm on the body of the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator, the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator lost all its life force and died completely.
A moment later, a blood- Red Soul Ring with seven golden patterns slowly emerged from the corpse of the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator.
Along with the Soul Ring, a dark blue vertical pupil also appeared.
The Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator the External Soul Bone; Evil Eye!
Lin Mo raised his hand and gently imprinted the dark blue vertical pupil onto his brow, where a third eye had already slowly opened.
It impatiently devoured and merged with the vertical pupil.
