Boom~ Several sea creatures with human bodies and fish heads rammed against the wooden door, trying to open it, but the door was incredibly sturdy, and their weapons couldn't leave a mark on it.

Hai Wei heard the noise, her heart startled, and she quietly leaned against the edge of the window, seeing several ugly Fishman Race members outside.

She did not believe these Fishman Race members were sent by her own people to rescue her; her tribe did not have such ugly members.

Seeing several fishmen who couldn't break the door, swaying towards the window, Hai Wei hurriedly closed the window tightly, shrank into a water bucket, and clenched the Light and Shadow Treasure Pearl given to her by Lu Yu, which flickered.

The Spiritual Power stored in the Light and Shadow Treasure Pearl by Lu Yu took effect, and the invisible effect of the Light and Shadow Treasure Pearl was activated.

In the eyes of others, the bucket was just a bucket of water, nothing more, though occasionally the water surface would suddenly ripple.

Bang bang bang~ The fishmen stared dumbfounded at the window, unable to poke through it.

Lin Tao, along with the He family members, arrived in front of Lu Yu's small courtyard. Seeing the water trail dragged by the sea creatures' movements at the courtyard entrance, He Yichao anxiously asked, "Is the mermaid inside?"

Lin Tao nodded, having already brought the He family people here, there was no turning back, he was very straightforward.

Seeing the drag marks on the ground, He Yichao feared the mermaid inside the room might escape, rushed inside, and found several ugly sea creatures standing by the window.

The sea creatures were stunned upon seeing humans burst in and immediately turned around to flee.

"Kill them," He Yichao ordered.

Several Martial Cultivators at the Energy Refinement Realm quickly stepped forward to attack the sea creatures.

On land, many of the sea creatures' methods were unusable, and those in the Demon Might Realm were no match for the Energy Refinement Realm Martial Cultivators and were quickly slaughtered.

Before one sea creature died, it blew the conch hanging around its neck.

Ooh ooh~ In the sea depths, the Sawfish Commander who was waiting for the sea creatures to bring back the Mermaid Princess heard the conch sound. This sound indicated the location of the Mermaid Princess was confirmed, but strong enemies were encountered and support was needed.

The Sawfish Commander immediately led the sea creatures under its command towards the target; the appearance of the princess here was a matter discovered yesterday by a sea creature when it accidentally learned from a fish's mouth.

Upon learning of the princess's whereabouts, the Flying Fish General immediately dispatched his fastest subordinate—the Sawfish Commander—to Yunhai City to capture the princess.

The Flying Fish General, being in the Demon Core Realm, could not easily approach Yunhai City for fear of attracting attention from strong entities within.

The Sawfish Commander, being in the Demon Spirit Realm, would not attract much attention from powerful figures by approaching Yunhai City.

Moreover, the Flying Fish General was already waiting at the edge of the coastal area to support the Sawfish Commander.

With the Sawfish Commander's speed, capturing the princess in Yunhai City and then escaping to the Flying Fish General's rendezvous point, even Core Formation Realm Martial Cultivators wouldn't have time to intervene.

Seeing the cliff appearing in front, the Sawfish Commander's subordinates surrounded themselves with seawater, forming a sea bridge connecting to the cliff top, where the Sawfish Commander's figure appeared on the rock where Lu Yu often sat.

Its silhouette was slender, narrow on the sides, wide on the front and back, with a shiny fin extending from the head to the tail. In the sunlight, it sparkled, appearing extremely sharp.

Boom boom! Two Energy Refinement Realm Martial Cultivators kicked the door forcefully, awkwardly glancing at each other, embarrassed at being Energy Refinement Realm yet unable to kick open a door.

One of them said, "Step aside, let me try."

He retreated a few steps, gathered power in his Dantian, just as he was about to ram into the door, everyone's heads turned towards the sea, from where a fishy demonic aura wafted.

The demonic aura was very dense, and there were quite a few demons.

"There are demons!" The management personnel of the Divine Weapon Pavilion disciples' accommodation area suddenly stood up, squinting towards the sea, "How could demons appear here?"

Speaking of demonic aura, Hai Wei had something strange too—she had not a trace of demonic aura on her.

This was extremely unreasonable, for even humans who lived near demons for a long time would typically pick up some demonic aura, let alone Hai Wei who was originally a demon.

Yet, Hai Wei had not a single speck of demonic aura on her, nor did she emanate any.

Aside from a human body and fish tail, she seemed no different from ordinary people in the Martial Cultivators' perception, neither demonic aura nor Spiritual Power within.

The Sawfish Commander didn't conceal its demonic aura at all but swaggered with many sea creatures towards Lu Yu's small courtyard.

Perhaps accustomed to swimming in the sea, the sea creatures swayed as they moved on land.

He Yichao looked towards the strong figure at the Energy Sea Realm behind him, saying, "Quick battle and conclusion, tear down the house, capture the mermaid, then discuss the next step elsewhere."

After all, this was the territory of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, and they were allowed entry due to the He family's influence, with Lin Tao as a disciple of Divine Weapon Pavilion leading the way, thus the guards did not stop them.

If they made a huge commotion in here, it would be hard for the He family to explain to the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

The best solution was to take the young mermaid away, then fight as they wished elsewhere.

The Energy Sea Realm strong figure stepped forward, clasped a fist enveloped by Spiritual Power and fiercely smashed the door, but was shocked to find his punch failed to break the door.

He became annoyed instantly, unleashing a stronger Spiritual Power punch.

Boom! The whole house instantly collapsed, kicking up a cloud of dust everywhere, leaving only the roof intact, which crashed to the ground covering all the furniture, and the bucket holding Hai Wei.

"Cough cough~" He Yichao inadvertently inhaled a mouthful of dust, quickly fanned the dust away with Spiritual Power, "What the heck? I said open the door, not turn the whole house to ash."

The Energy Sea Realm figure was puzzled too; though he used strong power, it wasn't enough to reduce the whole house to dust.

As He Yichao spoke, he couldn't oppose, so he wielded his spiritual power to suppress all the drifting dust, revealing the roof before everyone.

Staring at the intact roof, everyone exchanged puzzled glances; this house was quite eerie!

The walls had suddenly disintegrated into powder, yet the roof remained unbroken when it fell, which seemed extraordinarily peculiar.

"Ignore the house, lift the roof, and find the mermaid inside," He Yichao commanded loudly.

As everyone was about to lift the roof, a sharp water jet cut through the wall and continued to shoot in, slicing toward them.

The strong figure at the Qi Sea Realm who had collapsed the wall exclaimed, "Young master, be careful!" and hurriedly manipulated spiritual power to intercept the high-pressure water jet.

With his spiritual power gone, the surrounding dust threatened to spread again due to the winds caused by the spiritual power fluctuations.

A rain of water arrows descended from the sky, each possessing the power of a fifth-level Martial Cultivator's full-strength strike, leaving the group to fend off the water arrows' assault.

Boom~ The wall, shot into a sieve and cut apart by a high-pressure water jet, crumbled, and outside, hundreds of sea creatures appeared before everyone's eyes.

At the forefront stood a three to four meters tall bladefish commander with a sword-like body.

A massive rain of water arrows fell, the accompanying seawater dampening the ground's dust; He Yichao no longer needed to worry about the dust problem, but now faced a greater issue.

"He Xiao, locate the mermaid, everyone else hold off the sea creatures," He Yichao promptly commanded loudly.

He Xiao hurriedly stepped forward, aiming to dismantle the roof, ultimately realizing lifting it directly was more feasible, and hastily used spiritual power to lift the roof, only for a seawater-formed blade of light to fly toward him.

Just as he intended to dodge, a Qi Sea Realm appeared before him, blocking the blade of light, and said, "Quickly find the person, I'll block the attacks heading your way."

He Xiao nodded, lifted the roof, and searched through the chaotic furniture for the little mermaid, with the first search under the bed and in the cabinet yielding nothing.

Glancing at the bucket and seeing it only held a bucket of water, he avoided a detailed inspection and moved toward other areas.

The bladefish commander detached a fin from its back, which formed into a sharp serrated saber. Wielding the serrated saber refined from its fin, the bladefish commander fiercely faced off one against three, the sharp serrated saber making any Qi Sea Realm cautious.

This serrated saber was what the bladefish commander intended to refine as its exclusive Divine Weapon after breaking through to the Demon Core Realm, to which it dedicated significant resources on its fin, rendering it exceedingly sharp.

Upon refining into a Divine Weapon, it would possess unparalleled sharpness, significantly boosting its combat prowess.

Furthermore, as it was refined using its body, the Divine Weapon's compatibility was perfect, enabling it to unleash twelvefold power, destined to become a peer among the Demon Core Realm.

Thus, the serrated saber in the bladefish commander's hands was exceedingly sharp, and even a Qi Sea Realm master dared not be struck by it.

"Children, go bring back the princess!"

The bladefish commander, repelling three Qi Sea Realm individuals with one stroke, shouted loudly.

He Yichao didn't join the battle; he stood at the rear, observing the changing battle situation, frequently looking back, worried about the arrival of the Divine Weapon Pavilion's steward and guards.

Seeing He Xiao continuously circling the original area of the room, he shouted somewhat dissatisfiedly, "What's going on? Haven't found the mermaid yet?"

Some sea creatures, under the cover of the bladefish commander, had entered the room's area, heading straight for the bucket.

As sea creatures, within a certain range, they could sense the aura on Hai Wei's body.

It was a pure blood pressure, emanating from a higher bloodline suppressing a lower bloodline, impossible to conceal.

Though they very much feared this pressure, under the bladefish commander's command, they had to approach the source of this pressure.

Just as He Xiao was about to explain, he noticed the response of the few sea creatures, a sudden realization dawning on him, understanding where the mermaid was hiding.

"Such a simple distraction, and I couldn't see it," He Xiao mentally chided himself, walking toward the bucket, where a few nearby sea creatures approached.

Hidden within the bucket, Hai Wei was extremely anxious, "What to do? What to do? What to do?"

If she were in the water, she might think of fleeing, but now on land, stepping out of the bucket meant touching the earth, where she couldn't move quickly, making escape impossible.

Noticing sudden ripples on the bucket's water surface, He Xiao confirmed his suspicions. If there were no issues within, why would there be unsuspected ripples?

He Xiao raised his right hand, spiritual power surging along his arm, concentrating in his palm, the spiritual power's fluctuation growing stronger.

The sea creatures, seeing the human opposite, their large fish eyes showed ruthlessness, lifting their tridents, with water flow swirling on them.

A fierce spiritual energy blast shot from He Xiao's palm, aiming at the sea creatures across from the bucket, while the tridents in the sea creatures' grasp flew out, with the swirling water on them propelling them faster.

Just as the blast and tridents were about to collide, a shadow suddenly appeared above the bucket, getting hit by attacks from both sides.

"Oh shit!"

Lu Yu cursed, instinctively tensing his muscles, which instantly hardened like steel.

The blast struck Lu Yu's left arm, causing the skin to slightly dent, while deeper damage was absorbed by his incredibly tough muscles.

The sharp trident pierced Lu Yu's right arm, barely leaving a few white scratches, while the water flow encircling the trident, capable of entering and rupturing the struck person's insides, merely splashed Lu Yu like a water spray gun.

Bang! Lu Yu fell into the bucket, with most of the water being displaced outward, instantly revealing Hai Wei's form.

Embracing Hai Wei tightly as she was about to be thrown out of the bucket, Lu Yu surveyed the crowd.
