31: Finish

During the time Luo Chen was studying the cage, a new turn of events seemed to have appeared in the battle outside the city wall.

"You wretched beast, cease your insolence."

An aged voice came from behind the Tide-Calling Mermaid, accompanied by a white feather that seemed capable of tearing through space.

Just as the white feather was about to pierce the back of the Tide-Calling Mermaid, a thin layer of water shield appeared behind it, stopping the white feather in its tracks.

The Tide-Calling Mermaid turned around to look at the uninvited guests. Standing on a pure white giant bird were three people: an old man, a middle-aged man, and a young woman with a stunning appearance.

However, judging a person's age by their appearance is the most unreliable thing; it is possible that the woman who looks the youngest is actually the oldest among them.

The white feather from earlier had been shot from the giant bird beneath the three newcomers.

After sensing the aura of the three newcomers, the expression of the Tide-Calling Mermaid turned somewhat ugly.

"Heh, is it only permissible for your human race to snatch the young of my kind, but not allowed for my Mermaid race to attack the city?"

The Tide-Calling Mermaid looked at the three elders opposite it, its grand voice carrying far.

The thin old man in the middle responded, "Naturally it is allowed, but you have already attacked this city, and now that we have arrived, you shall remain on Earth Star."

The middle-aged man beside him had a rather fiery temper, "Old He, why waste words on a beast, just attack directly."

Then, a red-furred lion covered in iron armor appeared by his side, running towards the Tide-Calling Mermaid as if walking on flat ground in the air.

As it ran, its body size gradually increased, and in just a moment, its size was almost the same as that of the Tide-Calling Mermaid opposite it.

The lion did not hesitate, pouncing on the Tide-Calling Mermaid with the most primitive method of attack. The attack was simple, but in the eyes of the Beast Masters on the Qingyang City wall, the momentum was earth-shattering.

The Tide-Calling Mermaid's expression darkened as it condensed the [Sea Tomb Trident] in its hand and engaged the pouncing lion in battle.

The woman on the giant bird frowned slightly, looking at the gloomy rain shrouding the entire Qingyang City. She placed her hands together in front of her, in a slightly uplifted posture.

A lotus flower radiating a soft light appeared above her hands. The lotus rotated steadily and automatically, clearly an extraordinary divine object at a glance.

The woman parted her red lips slightly as if saying something, and the lotus in her hands slowly rose into the sky, arriving above Qingyang City.

Then, it suddenly shone with great brilliance, as if an artificially made small sun had appeared above Qingyang City.

The light emitted by the small sun dispelled the darkness shrouded by the dark clouds, and the rain was also suppressed, gradually becoming lighter.

The Tide-Calling Mermaid, currently entangled in battle with the armored lion, looked at the lotus in the sky with resentment, and resentfully summoned a Water Tornado to attack it.

However, the lotus was completely unafraid of the Water Tornado's attack. A lotus petal fell from its flower disk, then grew larger, catching the Water Tornado and causing it to vanish without a trace.

The rain was dispelled, the accumulated water in Qingyang City was slowly evaporating, and influenced by this, the aura on the Tide-Calling Mermaid was weakening.

The middle-aged man who summoned the armored lion licked his lips and said excitedly, "A mermaid, a new species, just right to catch and study."

He looked at the old man beside him who had not made a move yet and urged, "Old He, why aren't you attacking? If it runs away, I'm blaming you."

The old man called Old He shook his head helplessly. A cyan light flashed on his body, and a pine tree that looked like jasper floated in front of the giant bird.

As soon as it appeared, the pine needles on the tree turned into thousands of 'sharp swords' and stabbed at the Tide-Calling Mermaid entangled with the armored lion.

Originally, with the rain gradually decreasing, the Tide-Calling Mermaid was already struggling to deal with the armored lion opposite it. Now, with the overwhelming pine needles shooting over, it no longer had any spare energy to block.

The pine needles passed through the Dharma image of the Tide-Calling Mermaid. There was no scene of blood splashing; instead, the huge Dharma image of the Tide-Calling Mermaid gradually collapsed and disappeared like a bubble.

In the middle of the Dharma image, a shadow about two meters long fell from mid-air; it was the true body of the Tide-Calling Mermaid.

Not just one; after the Dharma image of the Tide-Calling Mermaid shattered, the beast that had been sealing the space of Qingyang City also appeared in the field, but it was protected in the middle by a huge water ball.

That figure saw the Tide-Calling Mermaid falling from the sky and hurriedly caught its body before it hit the ground.

"There's another one." The middle-aged man was a bit surprised, but the next second his expression became excited. Who doesn't like a buy-one-get-one-free deal?

However, the mermaid in the water ball, who looked similar to the Tide-Calling Mermaid, just glared at the muscular man with resentment. Its hands tightly gripped a teardrop-shaped pendant on its chest, while its mouth seemed to chant an ancient spell.

A deep blue light gate opened behind the two. The figure in the water ball did not hesitate, directly embracing the Tide-Calling Mermaid and rushing into the light gate.

Then the light gate closed directly, leaving the armored lion that wanted to stop it to face a closed door.

The muscular man even directly exclaimed, "Damn it, are spatial types too shameless?"

Then his eyes turned, looking at the light gate representing the Han Hai Secret Realm two kilometers away, and he proposed to the two people beside him, "How about we chase after them?"

The woman who had been silent spoke up, "No, when the space gate opened just now, my beast sensed the aura of multiple Wild Rank beings inside. Rushing in rashly might lead to us being caught like turtles in a jar."

The middle-aged man's expression was awkward, and he did not question the woman's words. Just now, they were able to suppress the Tide-Calling Mermaid because they occupied the advantage of the terrain, and Earth Star exerts suppression on non-native Wild Rank creatures; otherwise, they would not have won so easily.

"First, seal the secret realm entrance, and wait for people from the city to come and move the secret realm entrance into Liuyun City." The old man retracted the pine tree and arranged it this way.

"Agreed." The muscular man and the gentle woman nodded in agreement.

In just a few words, the three of them had decided the fate of the Han Hai Secret Realm without even considering the opinion of the city lord here; this is the benefit of being strong.

The dark clouds completely dispersed, and two suns appeared in the sky; one was the original sun, and the other was the sun transformed from that lotus. The woman did not take it back, but continued to let it shine to evaporate the accumulated water on the ground, and also provided some benefits to the common people in the city.

Anyway, under the radiance of the light emitted by the lotus, the common people in the city felt their body's strength being constantly replenished, and the cold aura that had been drilling into their bodies also dissipated.

It seems that the light of this lotus has a certain healing effect.

The battle ended, and the survivors from the three families immediately came to the three people excitedly. Some bowed to pay respects to their family heads, while others met with elders (clan uncles) and the like.

The battle was over, leaving Qingyang City in devastation. There were still many sea beasts inside and outside the city that had not been cleaned up. After Feng Qingyang paid his respects to these three, he hurriedly went to command the City Guard and the law enforcement team to clean up the aftermath.

However, the biggest threat was gone. After the water receded, the remaining sea beasts could no longer stir up any trouble. For Qingyang City, it could at least stop the losses to some extent.
