A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 519 A Plea for Help from the High Priest

Jialan's expression suddenly turned cold, and her fingers clenched tightly.

Even if he forcibly broke through to the ninth rank and became exceptionally strong, he would still be outnumbered and could not possibly be a match for several tenth-rank experts.

The azure sea was tinged with a faint red, and the stench of blood in the air attracted the lurking sea beasts, whose eyes were fixed intently on the wounded figure in the center.

The moment he falls, these ferocious sea beasts will rush up and tear him to pieces!
The handsome and noble young mermaid was surrounded by a group of people. His pale and handsome face was covered with faint bruises and bloodstains, and a trace of scarlet stained his lips. His whole body looked broken.

Its magnificent robes were already tattered, even the scales on its tail had been torn off, and scales and bits of flesh and blood floated in the air. Several deep wounds on its tail exposed bone, and it was slightly curled up in pain.

Not enough...not enough...He's too weak, he needs even more power!

The youth's azure eyes gradually turned purplish-red, his pupils shrinking to needle-like shapes, and his aura became sharp and terrifying, frantically absorbing the surrounding power like a vortex, as if he wanted to devour everything!
This sudden change instilled an instinctive fear in the orcs on the other side!

Shen Tang arrived just in time to witness this scene. Watching the merman youth's aura gradually intensify, her heart clenched, and she could barely breathe!

She had been with Jialan for so long, and she had never seen him like this before. She could sense that something was definitely wrong with him—he was turning to the dark side!
She called out urgently,
"Alan!"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, the young man in the distance shuddered.

His reddened eyes instantly cleared, returning to their usual calm, clear sea-blue. He turned his head, stunned, toward the source of the sound, "Tangtang?"

Why is she here?

Did you come for him?

This place is too dangerous, we can't let anything happen to her!

The orcs opposite were also taken aback by the fact that a foreign female dared to trespass into their territory. Someone immediately recognized Shen Tang, a glint of greed in their eyes, "Seize her! She's Jialan's partner, and also the emperor of the Night Glow Empire!"

The orcs, like hungry wolves spotting a fat sheep, immediately changed their target and launched a fierce attack on Shen Tang.

The mermaid youth was even faster! He raised his hand and erected a high water wall to block all the attacks. Then the water wall shattered and turned into thousands of water arrows, which shot straight away with a sharp, piercing force!

The invisible water arrow transformed into the sharpest weapon, instantly piercing the heart of an orc!
Despite being a class apart, this frenzied and fierce attack shattered the opponent's supernatural shield and pierced through his chest! The orc coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground, instantly exploding into a pile of minced meat.

Shen Tang also quickly mobilized his superpowers to provide support. His powerful tenth-order earth-type superpowers could even alter the terrain, causing nearby mountains, rocks, and rivers to suddenly rise and rotate, and the entire space to rumble!

A towering mountain suddenly rose before the orcs, blocking their advance. Earthen walls surrounded them like a cage. Just as they struggled to break through the walls, a powerful mental attack struck from behind!

The invisible spiritual force struck their souls directly, causing the beastmen to slow down, their eyes to glaze over, and they even forgot to defend themselves, before being swept away several meters by the giant wave once again.

Although Shen Tang's earth-type ability was weakened in the sea, her solid tenth-tier strength was not to be underestimated. She was in no way inferior to these tenth-tier orcs who had been enhanced by drugs.

Jialan's cooperation with her was seamless. As long-time partners, they had fought side by side on the battlefield many times, and their tacit understanding was far superior to that of the opposing group.

Those orcs were initially full of confidence, unaware that they were merely pawns used by the man in black, destined to be discarded from the start—because the potion given to them by the man in black was only a semi-finished product.

This seemingly invincible potion, while enhancing strength, also drastically reduces lifespan. After the power surge, one not only falls back to their original level but also experiences exhaustion, a near-fatal flaw in intense battles.

Soon, Shen Tang and Jia Lan joined forces to deal with the orcs.

But more figures appeared in the distance—not only were rebel forces chasing after them, but a large group of men in black were also mixed in.

Shen Tang's face darkened. They were ultimately outnumbered and outmatched, and their strength was almost exhausted; continuing the fight would be of no benefit.

The system shop has been upgraded to a premium shop, where more items can be purchased. Shen Tang immediately spent his points to buy two invisibility talismans, one for himself and one for Jia Lan.

The two figures and their presence vanished instantly into the sea.

When the pursuers arrived, they couldn't find any trace of the two. They searched left and right, turning the surrounding area upside down, but found nothing, and their faces turned extremely grim.

"Strange, where did they hide? Why can't we find them?"

"I clearly saw them here just now, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye!"

"What the hell!"

Hidden behind the stone wall, Jialan looked at the female beside him in shock. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but when he caught sight of the figures searching not far away, he swallowed his question.

The young man's slender hand gripped hers tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white. Even with his calm and composed expression, Shen Tang could sense that he was highly tense, like an arrow about to be released from a bow.

Shen Tang squeezed his hand back tightly, as if to comfort and persuade him, and gently shook her head, signaling him not to act impulsively.

When she was with Shen Tang, Jia Lan felt like a small boat lost in a storm had found a harbor. Her tense body relaxed slightly, and she asked in a very low and soft voice, "...Why did you come?"

His voice was no longer clear as before, but rather hoarse and weary, like the morning mist, revealing a different flavor.

Shen Tang instinctively gripped his hand tighter and whispered, "I'm afraid you might do something rash or act impulsively."

"..."

It would be difficult for anyone to remain calm when their mother is imprisoned.

As it turned out, he did act impulsively and almost caused a major disaster.

"I'm sorry," Jialan said softly, "I just... didn't want to drag you into this."

This is, after all, an internal affair of the sea people.

Shen Tang already had enough to worry about regarding the Night Glow Empire, and he didn't want her to be distracted by it or even get involved in it.

Unexpectedly, she came in person.

This was completely unexpected for Jialan. He felt both uneasy and guilty, yet also overwhelmed with warmth—no female in the world would risk her life for a male, yet he had won the favor of his mistress. "Fool," Shen Tang scolded helplessly.

Calling him a complete fool is no exaggeration.

Jialan remained silent.

Not far away, the group of people were still searching.

Unable to find anyone, they became enraged and launched a frenzied attack on their surroundings.

Although Shen Tang and Jia Lan used invisibility talismans, they could not completely avoid the attack. She immediately activated her spatial ability, taking the two of them into a space to escape the attack.

Seeing that there was no movement at the scene, the leader of the orcs narrowed his eyes and wondered if they had really run away.

Impossible! That mermaid prince came to save his mother. Since he dared to break into the palace alone, he would not leave easily. He must still be nearby!
A man in black sneered, "Go to the palace and bring out a prince, female only!"

Soon, a female girl was brought out. She was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a beautiful blue-green fish tail and a lovely face.

She was bound by the vicious, rebellious orcs, crying and struggling, her little face streaked with tears and filled with panic. "What are you going to do? Let me go!"

When Jialan came out of the space and saw this scene, she almost rushed up.

Although Garuda has hundreds of offspring, only a dozen or so are female, each a princess of unparalleled value in the sea. Jialan knows this younger sister; they have a good relationship and often played together as children.

The man in black conjured a sharp blade in his hand, scanned the entire area, and said coldly, "I'll count to three. If you don't come out by then, I'll kill her!"

"one."

"two--"

"three!"

With a soft thud, the man in black showed no mercy, thrusting his sharp blade straight into the mermaid girl's chest!

The girl screamed in agony and collapsed in a pool of blood, never to live again.

Such cruel methods even made the orcs in the nearby seas look on with pity.

But they had no choice but to obey the orders of the men in black.

Throughout history, with the changing of imperial power, death was inevitable, and even precious females could not escape their fate.

Once Shivar takes control of the Sea Clan, none of these princes and princesses will have a good end. This poor little princess is just going to die a little earlier...

Shen Tang held tightly to Jia Lan, whose eyes were bloodshot, and stared at the horrific scene in the distance, feeling both angry and heartbroken. These "proxy agents" had actually harmed a precious female; they were utterly wicked!

The man in black sheathed his sword, looked into the distance again, and sneered, "Still not coming out? Then I'll keep killing! I'll let you watch your brothers and sisters die one by one before your eyes! Until you come out and give your life for them!"

One of the orcs advised, "My lord, seeing that we outnumber him, Jialan might have already run away... He might not really be here."

The man in black was also puzzled; could they really run that fast?

However, if the other party really escaped, he wouldn't bother wasting any more time.

"Forget it, let's go back first. Next time we see him, we'll definitely capture him!"

The group turned and left, leaving the mermaid's body abandoned on the spot.

Jialan stumbled over, and Shen Tang squatted down beside the corpse, trying to use her healing ability.

After a moment, she could only shake her head, "...I'm sorry."

Jialan raised her hand and closed the girl's eyes. Her voice, so calm it was like the calm before a storm, said, "It's not your fault. Let's find a place to bury Ana."

"Ah."

The two found a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains to bury Princess Galina.

Jialan gazed into the distance, her fists clenched. "They don't even know how many people they're going to harm."

Shen Tang comforted him, "I know you want revenge, but the situation is unfavorable right now. The other side may have already set a trap. Rushing in will only get you killed... Don't worry, I will definitely help you rescue His Majesty Garuda and the other princes."

Jialan gradually calmed down, wrapped her arms around her, and whispered, "Thank you, Tangtang."

Only she could comfort him.

If she hadn't arrived halfway, he might have already gone mad or even lost his life.

At the moment he stormed the palace, he was probably prepared to perish together with the enemy.

Seeing the calamity that befell the Sea Kingdom, Shen Tang felt deeply pained and helpless.

If Xue Yinzhou and the Night Glow army could arrive, their chances of victory would be much greater, and they wouldn't have to be so restrained. Unfortunately, Night Glow is a land-based nation, and Xue Yinzhou and his group cannot enter the deep sea; this is a battlefield for the sea creatures.

Mermaids can only produce one water-repelling pearl in their lifetime, and it can only be used by their partner; they will not easily give it away to outsiders.

Even if she could find some water-repelling beads for Xue Yinzhou and the others, this was, after all, another country's internal affair. The situation in the Night Glow Empire was also not optimistic, and it needed Lu Xiao and the others to oversee it. As the emperor, she could not arbitrarily transfer the empire's most elite orcs to another country.

We need to think of a way to have the best of both worlds...

"That's it!" Shen Tang exclaimed in surprise as a figure suddenly flashed through her mind.
"We can ask the High Priest of the Sea God for help!"
