Legend of the Great Sage

bothered with working out what these cultivators were thinking.
It was probably along the lines of all mortals were ants.
He controlled the situation with a single bellow before gazing at the depths of the sea.
He sensed a colossal aura as deep as the ocean emerge from the sea.

This was an aura that only kings possessed.
Ru Xin had been right.
Sure enough, the Merfolk King had come.

At the same time, there were also countless cold gazes from the depths of the ocean, passing through the dark blue seawater and gathering on Li Qingshan.

The senses of merpeople was as sharp as it could be.
The ruckus from several tens of thousand mortals was already extremely disturbing in the tranquil ocean, and no one liked to be treated like animals in a zoo.
During the sea fairs of the past, Ji Changfeng would always announce the arrival of the Merfolk beforehand, as his senses surpassed the elders of the merpeople.
Meanwhile, his elders responsible for receiving the merpeople would get the mortals to settle down and stay quiet.

This year, Ji Changfeng was receiving them in person, so he neglected this small detail.
His disciples were not bold enough to remind him either, which led to this mistake, making the Merfolk King hear many things she was not supposed to hear.
Some of the topics were even taboo, so she purposefully allowed the waves to run amuck.
It was not exactly retribution either.
She only wanted to teach the mortals a lesson.

Originally, this could not be regarded as some major incident.
At most, a few mortals would die.
After all, did humans keep an eye out to avoid the ants on the ground when they walked? These minor details would not affect the relationship between the two kings.

However, there just happened to be someone ignorant enough to play the hero, directly suppressing the sea waves and even standing right in their path to the port, which led to great distaste.

“Your majesty, I’ll teach this kid a lesson!” Deep under the sea, the great priest said to the Merfolk King.

She was dressed magnificently, in the best merfolk silk.
It seemed as soft and as light as water, but there were several dozen layers in reality.
However, she was already extremely old.
Even the scales on her tail had become extremely faded.
In particular, only her eye whites remained in her eyes, which made her seem rather frightening.

The Merfolk King leaned against her cheek and sat back on a couch-like crystal throne.
In the darkness, her silken clothes outlined her perfect figure, draping on the ground.
She shut her eyes firmly as if she had not noticed what was going on at all.
Her pale chin nodded almost undetectably.

The great priest bowed and backed away, lifting up a crystal ball that clearly reflected the scenery of the port.
She gently swept her hand over the crystal ball, and it became filled with mist.

Li Qingshan saw how the people had already settled down and no longer trampled on one another, so he was about to retreat back to the island.
He did not plan on openly provoking the Merfolk King by remaining here.

White mist suddenly rose up from the ocean, spreading over hazily.
Before Li Qingshan could respond, it had already engulfed him.

Many palaces appeared in the mist, constructed from red walls and golden tiles with fancy eaves and cornices.
They faded into existence and were vivid.

In a daze, Li Qingshan discovered he was standing in a busy street.
The mist had already dispersed completely, and the pedlars called out loudly to sell their goods.
A group of mischievous children rushed past him.
When he looked at himself again, he had already turned into a pedlar with a carrying pole over his shoulders, currently making business on the streets.

He shouldered the carrying pole and smiled.
He just stopped there.

Among the five elements, water was the most flexible and unpredictable.
There were many illusion techniques among the water element that could delude people.
As a natural race of the water, the merpeople were obviously extremely skilled in these illusions too.

The mist was slightly similar to the Clam King of Mirage Sea’s clam qi, but after what he had faced in the Mirage sea, these illusions were basically child’s play.
They could not shake his will at all.

The illusions changed, turning into a tempting paradise.
Heavenly maidens danced through the air and immortals ventured over to receive him.

Li Qingshan only admired and appreciated all of this, but he was unfazed.

The illusions changed again, now a terrifying domain of ghosts.
Fiends and yakshas lunged over, but Li Qingshan did not budge.
He allowed the fiends to reach him, which then turned into mist and dispersed.

The illusions changed freely, but they could not even touch a single hair on Li Qingshan.
He turned around and made his way towards the beach.
With each step, the illusions shattered, and he emerged in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, enchanting singing suddenly rang out near him, reaching deep into his ears like threads and coiling around his heart, wreaking havoc on his mind.

This was not a hallucination!

The singing of female Merfolk possessed natural charms.
Regularly, fishermen would throw themselves into the ocean without any regard when they heard it, drowning themselves to death and even smiling in joy.

Li Qingshan seemed to be enraptured too, standing where he was and listening closely.
The singing resembled the sounds of dolphins from his past life, but it was countless times more mellow and wonderful.

The mortals on the beach raised a ruckus again.
All of them, regardless of their age and gender, rushed towards the sea in a craze.

At this moment, the vast, deep cry of a dragon descended from the horizon, dispersing the singing and allowing everyone to recover.

Looking down from above, a huge shadow rapidly approached Li Qingshan under the smooth surface of the sea.

A huge bubble suddenly rose up from beside Li Qingshan, growing larger and larger until it reached several dozen meters tall.
It broke through the silk-like surface of the ocean, and a giant figure stopped on the surface silently, almost plugging up the entire port.

Countless other bubbles swelled up one after another in the surroundings.
Even the smallest were several dozen meters wide.
As it turned out, they were all whales.
They surrounded Li Qingshan like tiny hills.
