Chapter 359 The Only Way to Save the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan; Am I Just Kind-Hearted?
Chapter 359 The Only Way to Save the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan; Am I Just Kind-Hearted?
Huo Yuhao watched as Chen Xinjie vanished into thin air, leaving not even a trace of his remains.
She glanced again at Lan Fuzi, who was still standing there in a daze, and couldn't help but feel a pang of toothache.
Chen Xinjie was, after all, a renowned quasi-god powerhouse. Even though the Sea God's authority was shattered, in that situation, as long as he was willing to pay a small price, escaping from the Demon Emperor would not have been difficult.
But who could have imagined that he would choose to give up resistance so inexplicably?
With the Demon Emperor's sudden arrival and the killing of Chen Xinjie, Huo Yuhao knew that the entire plan had deviated from its original course from this moment on.
Or to be more precise, the situation was already out of control from the moment Lan Fuzi used the whale pearl.
After all, he never intended to kill Chen Xinjie in the initial plan.
Besides being the patriarch of the Sea God Family, this Vast Ocean Douluo is even more troublesome because he is also the current commander of the Sea God Legion and the master of the Federation War God Temple.
Now Chen Xinjie has died in the sea, and the only witness, Long Yeyue, has escaped back.
It will probably take only a few days for the entire Federation to be shaken by this news, and for them to send high-level forces to thoroughly investigate the truth of the matter.
However, it is not something that can be accomplished overnight; it could take anywhere from several decades to over a hundred years.
However, with the rapid advancement of human soul guidance technology, we now possess powerful ocean-going maritime combat capabilities.
If the federal government is truly determined to investigate this matter thoroughly at all costs because of Chen Xinjie's death...
It seems likely that the sea spirit beast race will face the same fate as the land spirit beasts, being driven to the brink of extinction by humans.
Just as Huo Yuhao was feeling a bit of a headache about this, Bai Xiuxiu, who had been hiding in the distance, quietly swam up to Xiaobai's side.
She cautiously glanced at the terrifying figure in the distance, her voice trembling with fear as she whispered:
"Mom, why don't we run away while that crazy woman's attention is still on someone else and she hasn't noticed us yet?"
That deep-sea whale is absolutely terrifying. If it discovers we're here too, we might really be torn to shreds.
No, judging from that old man's fate, he probably won't even have a chance to be made into fish balls; we'll just turn to ashes!
Hearing her daughter's trembling voice, Xiaobai's gray-blue eyes were filled with solemnity.
She didn't even bother to scold Bai Xiuxiu for disobeying her, and secretly followed her over.
The reason she dared to tell Lan Fuzi so frankly in the main hall that she would only seek revenge against her was because of this.
However, according to her deduction, even if Lan Fuzi's mother was still alive, her cultivation level should be far inferior to her own.
After all, who could have imagined that in just 20,000 years, the other party would have been able to cultivate to the terrifying level of 900,000 years?
Let alone herself, the entire Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, even bound together, would be nothing more than slightly larger ants in front of that Demon Emperor, easily crushed with a flick of the wrist.
Xiaobai took a deep breath, suppressing the fear in her heart, and said in a deep voice, "Xiuxiu, don't talk nonsense. Things are much more complicated than you think."
Faced with an existence of this level, where can we lead our people to escape to?
This ocean is now her domain. If she's determined to kill us, searching the entire ocean wouldn't be difficult for her. And I can't bring myself to abandon my people and live on alone.
"Mom, what should we do?"
Bai Xiuxiu's shark-like body was trembling uncontrollably.
It's unclear whether they were simply intimidated by the Demon Emperor's insane aura or because the horrific sight of Chen Xinjie being blasted into ashes without any resistance was too terrifying.
Her voice was already choked with sobs, sounding extremely helpless.
Xiao Bai sighed softly, a resolute glint flashing deep in her eyes.
"Xiuxiu, listen carefully. No matter what Mom does from now on, don't make a sound or try to stop her. Perhaps, this is the only way to save our Demon Soul Great White Shark clan right now."
Hearing her mother's resolute words, Bai Xiuxiu suddenly felt a growing sense of unease.
That feeling was like the tragedy depicted in those human storybooks.
The incompetent husband could only watch from outside the window as his wife, in order to protect herself, voluntarily walked step by step into the abyss, and in the end, she could never return to the innocent and beautiful memories she once had.
Does this mean I'm really going to lose my mother?
Before Bai Xiuxiu could recover from her panic...
The Demon Emperor, suspended in mid-air and surrounded by terrifying purple-black lightning, coldly swept his gaze over the lone sea god's helmet drifting on the sea.
Then, he turned slightly to the side, his blood-red eyes fixed on Xiao Bai, who was protecting Bai Xiuxiu behind him.
"Tsk."
A sharp, murderous click echoed across the sea.
"I thought you would run away with your tail between your legs like that woman. Or do you naively believe that the reason I haven't sought revenge on your Demon Soul Great White Shark clan for thousands of years is because I'm kind-hearted and let you go?"
But that's fine too, saves me the trouble of searching later. Old and new grudges can be settled today!
As the Demon Emperor finished speaking, the enormous purplish-black vortex in the sky surged violently once more.
Thick bolts of lightning streaked wildly through the clouds, causing the surrounding void to tremble and emit muffled booming sounds.
In this suffocating and oppressive atmosphere, Lan Fuzi, who was originally in a daze, seemed to be awakened by this scene.
Looking at his mother, who was being corrupted by the demonic runes and driven mad in mid-air, the panic in his heart instantly reached its peak.
Almost instinctively, her gaze fell on Huo Yuhao beside her, her tone pleading: "My lord, I know that all of this is because of my willfulness that the situation has spiraled out of control."
But please, I beg you, stop my mother! Don't let her kill the Demon Soul Great White Shark King.
Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, looking at the blue-haired girl beside him with some surprise, and said with a hint of confusion in his tone:
"Why? If I remember correctly, during the battle to wipe out your father, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King was an accomplice. She should be considered your mortal enemy who killed your father."
Huo Yuhao had not forgotten the undisguised hatred that Lan Fuzi had shown towards Xiaobai when they were in the main hall.
This is why he didn't speak up to stop the Demon Emperor when he wanted to kill Xiaobai.
In his original considerations, if he were to actually lend a helping hand, he might only save Bai Xiuxiu.
As Xiaobai herself said, Bai Xiuxiu wasn't even born when the Deep Sea Demon Whale King perished. Remember our domain name: [domain name omitted], you can read exciting content anytime.
As for Xiaobai, that's a grudge from the previous generation. Since he made the choice, he has to bear the corresponding consequences.
But now, Lan Fuzi has actually taken the initiative to ask me to stop the Demon Emperor from taking revenge.
The underlying logic was truly difficult for Huo Yuhao to understand.
Lan Fuzi's pretty face was now filled with sadness. She lowered her eyes and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Do you think I hate her? Yes, I do. No matter what, she was one of the accomplices who killed my father."
At this point, she suddenly raised her head, tears welling in her eyes, and explained, "But this hatred was also the only motivation for my mother's crazy cultivation, and even her spiritual pillar."
Once Mom kills the Demon Soul Great White Shark King in this near-mad state, the moment her revenge is fulfilled, the destructive will that has been building up in her heart will completely spiral out of control and devour her mind.
By then, she will never be the gentle mother she once was. So I beg you, please help me save my mother. If you can help me this once, I will be willing to do anything for you, no matter what!
As he spoke, Lan Fuzi's knees buckled, and he made a gesture as if to prostrate himself before Huo Yuhao, begging for Huo Yuhao's help in the most humble manner.
She didn't really know why she had this inexplicable impulse. It was as if a voice deep inside her was telling her that the mysterious humanoid dragon in front of her could definitely rewrite this hopeless ending.
Was it because of the opponent's overwhelming strength, or because of the debt of gratitude for saving him earlier?
Lan Fuzi herself couldn't explain it clearly.
At that moment, she was like a drowning person, only wanting to grasp at the only straw in front of her, because she really didn't want to lose her last loved one.
Huo Yuhao felt a bit of a headache upon seeing this.
Looking up at the Demon Emperor several miles away in mid-air, who was manipulating the sky with lightning and was about to turn Little White and her daughter into ashes, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Is the destructive will emanating from this Demon Emperor truly so severe that it's beyond redemption?
Why did he perceive that, although the violence was somewhat violent, it didn't seem so uncontrollable?
As if sensing the thought that flashed through Huo Yuhao's mind, the voice of the Rakshasa God rang out in his sea of consciousness with an annoyance.
"Probably only you in the entire universe would think that level of malice is nothing to worry about."
That makes sense, after all, the resentment attached to the Golden Dragon King's divine core in your body is the ultimate negative aggregate formed after the fall of all gods. If I remember correctly, it even includes the negative emotions of more than nine god-kings.
Now that you've broken free of the sixth bloodline shackle, to put it bluntly, these evil thoughts will eventually become something you find sweet.
In comparison, that guy's malice is nothing to you.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but show a somewhat embarrassed expression.
It can only be said that people are forced into things.
After the Divine Dragon Realm shattered, the newly formed God Realm had only a few thousand remaining deities, and there were only five God Kings left.
It is easy to imagine how much resentment was generated from the fall of all the gods.
Being subjected to such terrifying evil thoughts for a long time has made Huo Yuhao's perception threshold in this regard somewhat different from that of ordinary people.
With a casual wave of his right hand, a gentle breeze steadily supported Lan Fuzi, who was about to kneel down, and he spoke softly.
"Alright, this isn't as difficult for me as you think. I agree."
Upon hearing this, Lan Fuzi slightly raised her eyes, and her originally dim eyes instantly brightened.
At this moment, she felt that the humanoid dragon in front of her, who had previously only made her feel oppressed by her bloodline, had become so kind.
Overwhelmed with emotion, he stammered, "Thank you, sir! Thank you so much!"
Seeing Lan Fuzi's joyful tears, Huo Yuhao was momentarily stunned.
A scene from deep within my memory seems to overlap with the scene before me.
On the night my mother passed away, as a little girl kneeling helplessly by her bedside, I also longed deep down for a savior to save my world from its impending collapse.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao's gaze towards Lan Fuzi softened slightly.
He reached out again and grasped Lan Fuzi's small hand, whispering, "Then hold on tighter to me. Whether you can save your mother depends not only on me, but also on yourself."
Lan Fuzi nodded vigorously and grabbed Huo Yuhao's hand tightly.
As the silver light flashed again, the two figures vanished from their spot in an instant.
Meanwhile, Bai Xiuxiu, who always kept her mother's instructions in mind, dared not utter a sound.
It could only slowly wave its fins in the water, conveying its inner fear to its mother through the ripples in the water.
"Mom, that woman looks like she's really going to make a move. How much longer do we have to wait? If we don't run, we'll really get hacked to death..."
Xiao Bai could naturally sense the message from the seawater and understand the fear in her daughter's heart.
Even she herself felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at the churning sea of lightning above her head.
However, the area within a radius of thousands of miles was shrouded in pitch-black clouds, and the surrounding sea surface shimmered with a chilling purple-gold color.
That mental lock mark clung to him like a bone-deep infection.
At this moment, Xiaobai had to admit that it was almost impossible to escape with her daughter from this inescapable trap.
Fortunately, a slight spatial fluctuation occurred at that moment.
When that familiar silver light appeared in her eyes, and she saw the crimson-gold dragon body blocking her way like a mountain, Xiaobai's tense nerves finally relaxed.
An unprecedented sense of security welled up in my heart, and I couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
If this person had arrived any later, she would probably have had no choice but to take a desperate gamble and try to break through with her daughter by burning her own life force.
Fortunately, her judgment was correct.
Huo Yuhao, who just saved Lan Fuzi, not only kept his promise but also showed a kind heart.
Even after the transaction was completed, they did not stand idly by and watch the mother and daughter live or die.
Perhaps my next decision will be the right one.
The Demon Emperor, who was poised to unleash his power and prepare to cleave Xiaobai and her daughter into ashes, froze in his frenzy when he saw Huo Yuhao and Lan Fuzi suddenly appear within his attack range.
The demonic runes that appeared on her body dimmed slightly as her resolve wavered, and she cried out anxiously, "Buddha's child, what are you doing? Quick, come to your mother's side! It's dangerous over there!"
