A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 518 The Turning Point to Darkness

The upheaval in the Sea Kingdom was so shocking that it spread rapidly within a single day, shaking the major empires.

Shen Tang naturally learned of the news as well.

She was immediately filled with extreme anxiety. Jialan had gone to the Sea Kingdom two days ago and should have arrived by now... Would he be implicated?
The situation in the Sea Kingdom is complex and dangerous. Shen Tang wants him to come back as soon as possible, but she knows Jia Lan's personality. He probably won't turn back and will most likely choose to fight against the rebels and rescue the Sea Emperor!
Although Ke Jialan has high talent, her current strength is only at the peak of the eighth rank.

Faced with the imminent threat of national subjugation, such power is insignificant; a mayfly cannot shake a tree, and may even bring about utter destruction!

Shen Tang hurriedly contacted Jia Lan via his personal terminal to check on his condition.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no response from Jialan. Even video and voice calls went unanswered.

Shen Tang was extremely anxious. Jia Lan couldn't possibly not reply to her unless there were special circumstances, or he...

She dared not think about it further, unwilling to imagine anything worse.

Unexpectedly, the system also issued a long-awaited emergency alert: [Warning to the host! Jialan's emotional state is fluctuating drastically, showing signs of turning dark. Please take immediate action!]

Shen Tang's heart skipped a beat.

The good news is that Jialan is still alive.

The bad news is, he has a tendency to turn to the dark side!

"How could this happen?" Shen Tang didn't know whether to be happy or worried. "Didn't I seal the curse power in his body with the Infinity Box before? Jia Lan's negative personality should have disappeared by now. There shouldn't be such a big fluctuation, or even a turn to the dark side, right?"

The system shook its head. "I'm not aware of this either. But Princess Jialan is about to experience the pain of losing her mother; even without the curse, it's only natural that she would turn to the dark side."

"The pain of losing my mother..." Shen Tang murmured repeatedly, then suddenly thought of something and her body trembled violently.

She quickly calmed down and carefully recalled the key moment in the original novel when Jialan turned evil.

She tried to piece together the plot—after the original owner's death, the two broke off their engagement, and Jialan returned to the Sea Kingdom. The events of the following years were not detailed in the original work, until later, when a coup occurred in the Sea Kingdom and Emperor Jialouluo died.

Shen Tang hadn't finished reading the original novel, and had only skimmed through many parts of the story. Moreover, these aspects were unrelated to the main female protagonist's storyline and weren't elaborated upon in the original work, being only mentioned briefly.

But one thing came to her mind: according to rumors, the person who personally killed Garuda was none other than Jialan!
She only vaguely remembered that after the coup in the Sea Kingdom, Jialan accidentally killed her mother while fighting the rebels for the throne. Later, after learning the truth, his personality changed drastically, and he went completely insane.

Shen Tang didn't know if the rumor was true or false, nor did she know exactly what had happened at the time.

But one thing she was certain of was that her mother, Garuda, was extremely important to Jialan.

Although the original female lead, Shen Qingli, is dead, the original plot seems far from over. This coup will most likely end with Garuda's life or death!
The death of the Empress will be the key reason that drives Jialan to turn into a tyrant!

Shen Tang couldn't wait any longer, so she immediately had the system teleport her to Jia Lan's side.

……

A fierce battle is raging in the sea near the palace.

Jialan is currently engaged in battle with the rebellious sea race forces. He is fighting against dozens of high-level experts alone, and his situation is extremely unfavorable.

Jia Lanyu's fair and aloof face was filled with a murderous aura, his tattered robes fluttering in the raging wind and waves. His numerous injuries did not diminish his fighting spirit; instead, a faint bloodstain on his cheekbone made him appear even more formidable, exuding an indescribable charm.

A powerful, icy energy field surged around the young man as he fought fiercely with his enemy. A raging storm unleashed a towering tsunami, crashing down upon their opponent!

The invisible wind and waves contained terrifying destructive power; the weaker orcs were instantly blown away, coughing up blood and falling into a coma.

The lead orc roared, "Kill him! We must not let him hinder Patriarch Shivar's grand plan!"

These people were all sent by the traitorous Sivar family.

Upon his return, Shivar's first act was to assassinate the current head of the family, becoming the new head and consolidating the remaining power. Only after thorough preparation did he launch his final attack on the palace.

Upon hearing this, Jia Lan's azure eyes grew even colder and deeper. He clenched his palm, and countless ice blades and hidden weapons instantly condensed in the air, slicing through the seawater like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, directly attacking the enemy!
As the power surged forth, Jialan's body underwent a deeper transformation, her legs transforming into a long, powerful fish tail, and light blue scales appearing behind her ears and on her neck. With each vibration of her chest, invisible sound waves emanated from her mouth.

Mermaids' voices are the most beautiful and melodious poison in the world, especially the songs of royal mermaids, which contain spiritual attacks and are extremely powerful!
The heavenly chant pierced through the waves, causing many orcs on the opposite side to cover their ears in agony, their eyes, noses, and ears even bleeding! They couldn't even defend, let alone attack, and were immediately pierced by countless ice blades, falling into pools of blood, without even having time to scream.

The few strongest ninth-tier orcs remaining on the opposing side were less affected.

Their faces were extremely grim, and they were so angry they wanted to curse.

The family mobilized so many experts just to hunt down a peak eighth-tier orc, yet they still couldn't kill him. To lose so many men and still fail to capture a prince who had been married off—this was an utter disgrace!
Several ninth-tier orcs launched a full-scale attack, determined to kill Jialan.

Jialan felt immense pressure, and her expression grew even colder and more composed.

Life-or-death battles are the best way to unleash the potential of orcs. In the heat of battle, he felt his strength rapidly increasing! A crisp "crack" sound came from within his body, and his aura suddenly changed, becoming even more fierce and powerful!
He broke through to the ninth rank in one fell swoop!

He raised his hand and erected a water wall several meters high, like an indestructible city wall in front of him. The opponent's fierce attack could not penetrate this seemingly soft water wall and was stuck inside.

The water wall, like a weapon that uses softness to overcome hardness, gently swallowed up the enemy's offensive. These orcs could no longer advance even half a step, and were even swept into the vortex of the water wall.

However, they were powerful ninth-tier orcs after all, and their leader was even at the peak of the ninth tier, with the strength of a half-step tenth tier, so they would not easily lose their lives.

They nearly died trying to escape from the whirlpool.

The next second, thousands upon thousands of ice blades came crashing down again! They didn't even have time to dodge, and were immediately covered in wounds and in a sorry state.

The orcs opposite were utterly shocked. This sea prince was so young, he looked like he had only been an adult for less than two years, yet his strength was so formidable!

If we let him grow up unchecked, he will become the biggest threat to the family!
It's such a pity to waste such an outstanding junior, but there's nothing we can do. Jialan is determined to oppose them. The royal family's power is waning, and they must kill him!

The orcs produced several dark red syringes from somewhere. These were "improved and powerful potions" given to them by the men in black, who said that their strength would increase dramatically after injection!

Without hesitation, they injected themselves with the needles, their auras suddenly becoming violent, filled with an abnormal ferocity. Their eyes turned bloodshot and fierce, and their strength broke through to the tenth rank in one fell swoop!

That's about it for this dungeon. I'll add more tomorrow if I have time.

Sleep well, my darlings, goodnight~
