The Demons Gather

Heavenly South, the South Sea.

In the deep sea about 300,000 miles from the mainland, a beam of azure light shot into the sky, and fish seemed to be swimming around it.

Of course, they weren't real fish, but illusions.

The beam of light lasted for about half a cup of tea before dissipating, as if it had never existed.

In a coral palace on the seabed, an elderly mermaid swam in, her broad tail fin flapping without creating even the slightest ripple in the water.

The old merman looked at the newborn child on the seaweed bed and was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.

"Chief."

A handsome merman bowed and greeted them respectfully.

Beside her, the mermaid who had just given birth, lying on the bed, sat up and called out, "Chieftain."

"Get some rest." The old merman waved her hand, gently pressing the merman who was trying to get up back down. She looked at the child on the small bed and asked, "Haven't you named him yet?"

"No, please bestow a name upon me, Chieftain," the merman bowed.

"Then let's call her Ao Xi," the old merman said gently, picking up the child with tender eyes.

Ao Xi, this is the name of all the mermaid queens, it has never changed.

"But Chieftain, this name..." The merman wanted to say something, but looking at the child in the chieftain's arms, he couldn't speak.

"Yes, our queen has been born! Our Mermaid Race are saved!"

The merman looked awkward, but finally bowed to the child and said, "Welcome, Your Majesty."

The mermaid also rose and bowed, saying, "Welcome, Your Majesty."

Even though it's their own child, the parents have to perform rituals and bows right after the child is born. Anyone would feel uncomfortable in that situation.

After holding the child for a while, the old merman put her back on the bed, turned to the merman couple, and said, "From now on, you will move into the Mermaid Palace. I will personally teach this child."

"Yes."

In the Luo Heaven Sea, 500,000 li Outer Sea, a man with fins on his back flew out of the sea and headed towards the top of a towering mountain peak.

Then, figures flew out of the sea, and powerful auras swept in from the air.

At the foot of the mountain peak, an old man with only two front teeth was humming a tune and tending to his backyard with a water jug, looking just like an old farmer.

However, the kettle was originally a mass of water, but it had been Imprisonment to the shape of a kettle.

Moreover, the flowers and plants that the old man was tending to were extraordinary. Most of them were fourth-grade spirit medicine, while the ones on the periphery that looked like weeds were third-grade.

The old man was pricked several times by a small grass covered in thorns while watering the plants. Impatiently, he ripped the grass out, mixed it with the soil, and chewed it up, making a crunchy sound.

"This Seven-Leaf Sword Grass is quite nice, it's got some chewiness. It's a pity, it should have been grown for a few more years, it would have been even chewier when it had nine leaves."

If a knowledgeable cultivator were here, they would be utterly astonished. A fourth-tier Seven-Leaf Sword Grass was being chewed up like a dessert—it was an absolute waste!

Just then, a man in a blood-red robe suddenly appeared beside a stone table not far away. He glanced at the old man tending to the flowers and plants and sneered, "You're really living a leisurely life, aren't you? You've even started growing flowers and plants."

"There's no other way, I'm getting old, these flowers and plants are what keep me going," the old man replied without looking up.

Just then, a Qingfeng swept by, and a woman dressed in Bai Yu appeared in the field. She looked at the old man in the garden and bowed slightly, saying, "Eagle King Eagle King, it's been a long time. I wonder if you still remember what I mentioned last time about laying eggs together?"

At this point, the woman's eyes became somewhat resentful.

The old man coughed a few times, patted his aching back, and said, "Bai Yu, don't joke with this old man. I'm all old and frail. If you want to lay eggs, go find that guy Five Colors. I can't help you with anything."

"I've only just arrived and I already hear the Eagle King talking about me. What an honor!" A male voice rang out, and then a somewhat flamboyant man dressed in Five Colors feathers appeared beside Bai Yu. He looked at Bai Yu provocatively and said, "Come find me if you want to lay eggs. I guarantee our offspring will have exceptional talent."

Bai Yu glanced at him, looking disgusted, and said, "Stay away from me, I'm annoyed."

"Your multicolored fur is really ugly. Can't you change it to one color?"

"Change what? Aren't my feathers pretty enough? What kind of taste do you have?" Five Colors said with a displeased expression.

In less than ten breaths, fifteen people gathered in the small courtyard and sat down around the stone table in the middle.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the old man opened the kettle, washed his hands in it, and then turned to sit down at the head of the table.

"You all probably know that Sea Dragon got slashed a while ago, right?"

To his left, the man in the blood-red robe said coldly, "Those human cultivators are coming to our territory to cause trouble; they're getting more and more arrogant."

"What a pity. I was hoping to see him. I never imagined he'd be brutally murdered while I was dozing off." The old man sighed, then a faint yet chilling murderous aura emanated from him. "Since they dared to cross the line, they might think we're easy to bully if we don't retaliate!"

The man in the blood-red robe also grinned maliciously, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth. "It's time to let them know what fear is!"

"Yes, I don't know which brat killed the Fire Tiger I raised before, making me lose such a good blood meal for nothing. It's truly hateful." A fierce aura rose in the Five Colors eyes, and a murderous intent overflowed.

"Since everyone agrees, let's launch a beast tide. It's time to let those humans hiding in their shelters experience fear and slaughter," the old man said calmly, as if launching a beast tide was a trivial matter.

"Since the Eagle King has spoken, let's give them a big one this time, and we can have a good feast too." Bai Yu licked his lips with a bloodthirsty look, all traces of his noble demeanor gone.

"You can handle the task of driving the beast tide," the old man waved his hand and said, "I'm getting old and my strength is failing me. I don't want to worry about such trivial matters."

"Don't worry, Eagle King, leave it to us," Five Colors said.

Soon after, more than a dozen figures left the mountaintop, and a terrifying power spread in all directions, causing all the nearby Demon Beast to move in one direction.

An extremely terrifying beast tide is forming silently, and it's unknown whether Luo Heaven Sea can hold it off.

This great battle is destined to change the entire landscape of the Luo Heaven Sea!
