Sea of Nine Serenities, as far as the eye could see, the endless ocean was surging and turning the entire world blue. The salty sea breeze, accompanied by all kinds of strange seabirds, formed a beautiful scenery.

However, the seemingly calm sea was full of danger. She saw an unknown bird more than ten meters long swooping down from above. Suddenly, a huge ferocious beast jumped out from the sea and swallowed the seabird without hesitation, diving into the depths of the sea.

"This is the Sea of Nine Serenities?"

"Get down."

Qin Zheng surveyed his surroundings coldly. In the end, he chose an uninhabited island and slowly descended.

It had already been three days since they left the Qin Nation Palace. Fortunately, Qin Zheng's strength was now sufficient enough to display it at full power, and perhaps even better than before.

Stepping on the ground, Jiu Mu Li looked around, only to find out that not many plants could be used as medicinal ingredients, and most of the plants here were filled with Yin Qi, causing him to be filled with curiosity.

"There's no need to be surprised. Sea of Nine Serenities is a place with a lot of Yin Qi. This place is different from Qin Nation." Qin Zheng seemed to be able to see through Jiu Mu Li's thoughts, and said indifferently.

Jiu Mu Li nodded, as if she had also sensed it. No wonder this place was called Tartarus, it did not live up to its name. Yin energy and cold energy were indeed very heavy, and they also had huge side effects on the bodies of ordinary people.

The island was not large, so Jiu Mu Li casually took a few glances, and did not pay any further attention. Although the environment here was bad, her strength was already comparable to the Starer, so she was not afraid of anything.

This island was very desolate, and it was obvious that no one had entered this island in a long time, let alone living here. This caused Jiu Mu Li to feel a bit of regret, she still wanted to see how the cultivators of the Sea of Nine Serenities were like, and it seemed that she could forget about entering this island in a short period of time.

Jiu Mu Li had to ask Qin Zheng, this fellow had brought her all the way here, but she did not explain where the 'Heavenly Flame' was. Originally, she thought that no matter how big the Sea of Nine Serenities was, it would not grow up.

"Wait a minute, I'm a bit patient." Qin Zheng frowned, he obviously did not want to explain too much.

Patience your head!

Jiu Mu Li was speechless, she really wanted to scold that guy. Even if he were to pick up a girl like this, it would be hard to get his hands on her!

"Someone's coming."

Without waiting for Jiu Mu Li to speak, Qin Zheng's voice revealed a chill, causing her to be startled. She looked over with a strange face.

At this moment, two figures were chasing each other across the sea.

Behind him, his body was covered in a dense yellow halo, and there was even faint star power flowing out in all directions.

It was a female cultivator, and also a Starer. Her appearance was not ugly, but it could not be considered exceptional, she was slightly inferior to Bai Qing, but she was dressed extravagantly, and her brows were filled with arrogance.

This female cultivator was using the Astral Souls, stepping on the waves, one fist wind after another surged out from her hands, continuously rushing towards the figure.

What was even more shocking to Jiu Mu Li was that, even though the upper half of the figure in front of him looked like a human, but below her waist was a pure fish tail.

"Mermaid!"

Jiu Mu Li exclaimed. She never thought that she would actually see the legendary mermaid here.

"You know about mermaids?" Qin Zheng asked with some surprise.

Jiu Mu Li was at a loss for words. She had felt that the mermaid was very similar to him in her previous life, she had never thought that she was actually a mermaid. She did not know what to say at that moment.

The mermaid's body was graceful and her face was as bright as a pearl. Although her lower body was shaped like a fish, it was covered with golden scales and looked very dazzling. It made people not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.

From the looks of it, the Mermaid was not very big, just like a fifteen or sixteen year old human girl, but at the moment, under the Starer's chase, she was trying her best to escape. Everywhere she went, the sea water automatically parted, as though it was supporting her forward, but even so, she was still at the end of her road.

The cultivators behind her were too strong, and they weren't something she could handle. Moreover, her entire body was filled with wounds as fresh blood dripped out of them.

"Why did you kill me?"

"We, the Fishmen, will definitely not let you off."

The Mermaid was already in despair. She seemed to have realized that she no longer had the chance to escape, so she could only shout in anger.

Her voice was very melodious, like the song of heaven.

"Oh, the great sea, our mother."

A sad and sorrowful song suddenly rang out. It was the mermaid's song. It seemed to be her final farewell.

How could this be?

Jiu Mu Li was at a loss and could not bear to do so. The mermaid looked too beautiful and she did not have any ill intentions, so even towards the cultivators chasing after her, she could only rage and confusion, but she did not envy them.

"Hand over your heart and tears. You have nowhere to run."

The female cultivator laughed coldly. Her face was expressionless, and her eyes burned with a fiery desire.

She did not stop and did not give up. Every strike was filled with viciousness and was extremely tyrannical.

Such an innocent mermaid, but she must be covered in treasures.

Jiu Mu Li sighed in her heart, from the female cultivator's attitude, she could tell that she was greedy for the benefits that the mermaids gave.

"Save or not."

Jiu Mu Li was a little hesitant. She glanced at Qin Zheng and saw that his face was still cold and unmoved. It was obvious that he did not have any intention of making a move.

The female cultivator was not weak, and was even stronger than Jiu Tian Xue by a bit, but Jiu Mu Li was aware that if she used her full strength, she would not be afraid of her opponent, but her opponent's background was obviously not weak either, and she did not want to cause any trouble.

"Wuu, wuu, my people, farewell …"

The Mermaid was aggrieved, her face was filled with despair and sorrow, but she held back her tears.

Sigh...

Jiu Mu Li sighed inwardly. In the end, her heart softened as she decided to take action.

With this thought in mind, she no longer hid. Spiritual energy surged from her entire body as a scarlet red light completely enveloped her before she fiercely stepped out.

"Stop!"

With a loud shout, she instantly thought of a mermaid and dashed forward. A snow-white sword light shot out from her body, smashing apart the woman's palm attack.

Sensing that someone was helping, the mermaid quickly ran to the island and arrived beside Jiu Mu Li in no time.

Clashing her fists, Jiu Mu Li's body suddenly stopped, she did not continue attacking, she could feel that the Spirit Qi in her body was much thicker than hers, and did not want to provoke her anymore.

The lady did not expect that someone would suddenly cut in, his face extremely gloomy, she stared at Jiu Mu Li and bellowed: "Who are you, get lost!"

He spoke as if he was going to attack.

Jiu Mu Li frowned, she did not expect the lady to be so tyrannical, and immediately asked coldly: "Why do you want to kill her? I remember that the Mermaid has never actively provoked anyone, why not spare her life?"

"When has it ever been your turn to interfere when I'm acting? You dared to disturb my, Meng Rou Er's, business!?" A vicious light flashed across the woman's eyes.

When Meng Rou Er saw Qin Zheng, his eyes lit up with splendor.

"What a beautiful man. Just nice enough to be my husband."

Meng Rou Er's heart burned with passion, and when she thought of the men on the islands in Sea of Nine Serenities, all of them broke down in tears. To think that she would meet such a beautiful man today, she couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Jiu Mu Li did not have the mind to bother with her, she looked at Qin Zheng, her face filled with suspicions, waiting for him to explain, but regretfully, she frowned and did not continue speaking.

She immediately moved to protect the mermaid behind her, and said with narrowed eyes: "I do not care who you are, I do not wish to become enemies with you today. Go, I will protect the mermaid now, although your cultivation is high, you have consumed a lot, you are not my opponent."

"You shut up."

Meng Rou Er was thinking about how to tie Qin Zheng up and bring him back, but she didn't expect Jiu Mu Li to suddenly interrupt him. She couldn't help but get angry, and when her gaze landed on Jiu Mu Li's face, she realized that the other party's appearance wasn't any worse than his own, and even far surpassed his own. She couldn't help but become even more angry.

"Dammit. This woman is even prettier than me. I absolutely cannot let her live. All beauties that are more beautiful than me must die."

"Look at that pretty boy, his relationship with her must be extraordinary. No way, I must destroy him. All pretty men belong to me."

Meng Rou Er's eyes continued to sweep across Jiu Mu Li and Qin Zheng. One moment she was greedy and passionate, as if she had met her beloved prey. The next moment she was filled with hatred, causing her body to feel cold.

"You …"

Jiu Mu Li said indifferently, her eyebrows knitted together, not knowing what kind of mental state Meng Rou Er was in, but that gaze made her feel extremely repulsed. She knew that the woman must have had ill intentions, and could not help but become even more cautious.

"Go to hell."

Meng Rou Er would never let him talk too much, she did not hesitate to make her move, following that, she extended both of her hands out, a light aura that looked like sharp claws, straight towards Jiu Mu Li's face.

"Hmph. Bitch, you look like a fox girl. Today, Miss Japan will completely destroy you."

"This young lady has the final say on Sea of Nine Serenities!"

The thing she could not stand to see the most was a more beautiful woman than her, because she was the most beautiful woman in Sea of Nine Serenities, she would never let anyone steal her reputation for themselves.

Eh?

Jiu Mu Li was shocked, she never thought that Meng Rou Er would actually be so reckless, like a madman.

"Scram!"

Qin Zheng coldly snorted, and fiercely pointed out with his finger.
