ãZhen Langâs words left all the cultivators present exchanging glances.ã
ãFree?ã
ãDo you know what the bidding price just reached?ã
ãA middle-grade artifact plus five hundred spirit stones.ã
ãSuch immense wealth, and you donât want it?ã
ãHow could this be possible?ã
ãEveryone present knew that Zhen Lang was notoriously stingy. If heâs saying itâs free, there must be something fishy about it!ã
ãIn an instant, everyoneâs expressions turned intrigued.ã
ãZhen Lang was not the least bit surprised by their reactions.ã
ãHe then placed his hand on the water tank and spoke slowly: Three days ago, I discovered a lot of bloodstains in the sea. Out of curiosity, I went down to inspect.ã
ãTo my surprise, I found dozens of water nymphs fighting with other sea demons.ã
ãSo, amidst the chaos, I brought this unconscious water nymph back.ã
ãHonestly, I was also astonished at how so many of them could suddenly appear.ã
ãBut then I understood. This is a chance given by heaven. I should accept it. As my fellow daoists, you should also share in this opportunity.ã
ãA tall cultivator asked: Does Island Master Zhen mean to take us to capture more water nymphs?ã
ãZhen Lang smiled: Thereâs no need for such trouble. Yesterday, some water nymphs already discovered their kin here and attempted a rescue, but they were repelled by me.ã
ãI am very aware that they wonât give up so easily. Thus, I invited you all to come and share this opportunity.ã
ãI believe that as long as we unite and defeat the water nymphs, you will definitely be able to take some of them home, how about it?ã
ãAfter hearing this, everyone present understood.ã
ãIt turned out that Zhen Langâs intention for inviting them was not just to see the water nymph, but to have them assist in resisting their attacks!ã
ãIsnât this just using people as cannon fodder?ã
ãYe Yu frowned slightly.ã
ãCould it be that the shadows in the sea during the day were mermaids?ã
ãThat number was indeed quite large.ã
ãZhao Muchuan, enraged, stood up abruptly. He said harshly: Zhen Lang, you are shameless.ã
ãZhen Langâs expression remained unchanged, and he countered: Where am I being shameless? Iâm doing this for everyoneâs benefit.ã
ãNow, many fellow daoists are here. Is our goal just to repel the water nymphs?ã
ãNo!ã
ãOur ultimate aim is to capture the water nymphs alive, make them stay by our side, as servants and maids!ã
ãZhao Muchuan, are you afraid?ã
ãIf youâre scared, you can leave now! I wonât stop you. But please donât cause any trouble.ã
ãThe same goes for all fellow daoists!ã
ãIf youâre afraid of dying, you can leave at any time. But those who wish to stay and capture water nymphs, come and seize this opportunity with me!ã
ãZhen Lang is a clever man. He knows exactly how to stir the emotions of those present.ã
ãAfter his speech, more than seventy percent of the cultivators had changed their expressions.ã
ãIndeed.ã
ãRegardless of using people as cannon fodder, as long as they can take a water nymph home, nothing else matters!ã
ãThus, most of the cultivators expressed their intention to stay here. They would not leave.ã
ãThe remaining few were wavering!ã
ãThey kept pondering the pros and cons.ã
ãAt this moment, Zhao Muchuanâs face was extremely grim.ã
ãHe did not want to stay and be used as cannon fodder by Zhen Lang. Yet the water nymphâs stunning beauty made him very tempted.ã
ãFor a moment, he was caught in a dilemma.ã
ãAt this time, Ye Yu stood up and patted his shoulder, about to speak.ã
ãA flash of blue light suddenly appeared.ã@@novelbin@@
ãZhen Lang, who was full of vigor standing at the main seat, instantly fell to the ground.ã
ãA blue spear was embedded in his chest.ã
ãThe sudden attack caught everyone off guard.ã
ãIn the next moment, more than thirty water nymphs armed with artifacts arrived from outside. Their human bodies and fish tails allowed them to fly through the air.ã
ãEven when they entered the exhibition hall, they kept their distance from the ground with tails hovering.ã
ãAmong these water nymphs, only two or three were male. The rest were all female.ã
ãAs everyone grew increasingly tense, Ye Yu received a message from Zhao Muchuan in this mind.ã
ãLook, the nymph on the far left of the second row is really beautiful, and her figure is excellent. I think Iâm in love.ã
ãDo you think if I confess now, she would agree?ã
ãYe Yu was immediately speechless.ã
ãHe even thought Zhao Muchuan resembled his silly high school desk mate. Whenever he saw a pretty girl, he would instantly believe he was in love.ã
ãBrother, can you save yourself some trouble? If you go confess now, youâll definitely be attacked to death. Try it if you donât believe me â go on, try and youâll die!ã
ãHearing Ye Yuâs response, Zhao Muchuan showed a look of grievance.ã
ãYe Yu chose not to pay him any more attention.ã
ãHowever, it must be said, these mermaids were indeed very beautiful. And their figures were exceptional.ã
ãBut with human bodies and fish tailsâ¦ã
ãWell⦠itâs actually quite good.ã
ãAt this moment, Zhen Lang was not yet completely dead, trying to pull out the spear from his chest.ã
ãBut he was held down by a female water nymph.ã
ãShe suddenly exerted force, and the spear erupted with a deep blue light, instantly killing Zhen Lang on the spot.ã
ãFrom the fluctuations of spiritual power on the water nymphs, it was clear they were cultivators at the Integration Realm.ã
ãShe pulled the spear out and held it in her hand.ã
ãLooking around, she said coldly: We water nymphs do not wish to be enemies with your human cultivators. We only want to rescue our companions.ã
ãBut if any of you wish to imprison us, we will fight to the end!ã
ãAll thirty or so water nymphs stood together, carefully observing everyone around them.ã
ãAnd now, the entire place was deathly silent.ã
ãThe atmosphere was a world apart from the earlier frenzy.ã
ãMost of the people here were of similar cultivation level to Zhen Lang.ã
ãIf Zhen Lang could be killed with a single blow, they would naturally be the same. So, in this situation, no fool would step forward.ã
ãAfter all, the strength of the water nymphs made them very cautious.ã
ãYe Yu stood with his hands behind his back, remaining silent.ã
ãHe did not want to be entangled in the mermaidsâ affairs.ã
ãSince there were Integration Realm mermaids, who could guarantee there werenât any Tribulation Crossing mermaids among them?ã
ãMoreover, a forced capture would be undesirable. He wouldnât bother with such things.ã
ãSoon, the water nymphs rescued their companion from the water tank.ã
ãJust as they were about to slowly make their way out, the leader of the water nymphs suddenly stopped in front of Ye Yu.ã
ãFrowning slightly, she looked at him with suspicion.ã
