Keyboard Immortal-Chapter 2464: The Shocking Development

The Mermaid Queen also realized something was off, and her expression turned grim. “Something must have happened to the Ocean races!”

They knew she and Zu An had ventured into the Eye of the Ocean to investigate the situation. Considering how Zu An had just saved them not long ago, it didn’t make sense for them to seal off their path like that. There was a chance that something had happened to the Ocean races.

Zu An’s face darkened. “The Four Dragon Kings are fickle-minded scum!”

The Four Dragon Kings called the shots in the Ocean races. Without their permission, the others wouldn’t dare to rebuild the seals under their nose.

The Mermaid Queen shook her head. “The East Sea Dragon King might be a coward, but he’s not that fickle-minded. The North Sea Dragon King has a candid personality, and you just saved him not too long ago. He’s not an ingrate. Something must have happened to the Ocean races. Could the Incestuous King have invaded us with his monster army...”

Only that could result in such a swift collapse of the Ocean races’ command chain.

“The Ocean races shouldn’t have been completely helpless even if the Incestuous King invaded, and they shouldn’t have been able to repair the seal so quickly either.” Zu An frowned. “Let’s deal with it after we return.”

The Mermaid Queen was worried. “But I fear we won’t be able to get out without anyone helping us from the outside.”

This wasn't the most powerful sealing formation, but its prowess wasn't to be scoffed at. It was with this sealing formation that the Ocean races had imprisoned the Shaman races and the death energy in the Eye of the Ocean for countless years. It was unlikely the two of them could breach it by themselves.

“Leave it to me.” Zu An made his way up to the seal and whipped out a giant saber.

The Mermaid Queen was surprised to find that the weapon resembled a tooth. It was none other than the Lord of Slaughter's mystical tooth.

Zu An’s ‘Steps of Rising Lotus’ had the power to transcend formations. With his enhanced knowledge of formations and spatial laws, he was more than capable of passing through this sealing formation, no matter how formidable it was. But it would be troublesome to bring the Mermaid Queen out with him that way.

Thus, he took out the mystical tooth and swung it. It sliced through the sealing formation as smoothly as cutting through butter.

He then turned back to the Mermaid Queen and said, “Let’s go.”

The Mermaid Queen blinked. This sealing formation had been built on by countless Ocean races’ experts over thousands of years, yet it was sliced through with such ease!

As expected of the man of miracles!

Not daring to dawdle, she quickly passed through the seal. Zu An did the same too.

The Mermaid Queen turned around to take a look. The sealing formation had lost its glow and dissipated.

“I hear fighting noises outside. Let’s head out to take a look.” Zu An grabbed her hand and quickly headed upward.

The Mermaid Queen was too concerned with what was happening outside to immerse herself in the joy of having her hand grabbed, however.

With Zu An’s incredible speed, it didn’t take them long to arrive at the source of the noises.

A group of black-clad Ocean race warriors had encircled another group of Ocean race warriors clad in blue, with the former having a significant manpower advantage. The blue-clad warriors were only holding on thanks to a beautiful woman in their center wielding a powerful artifact, but the situation was still dire for them. The black-clad warriors could afford to slip up many times, but the blue-clad warriors would be goners the moment they made a mistake.

“It’s the Peacock Princess!” the Mermaid Queen exclaimed upon seeing the beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman heard her voice and looked back in disbelief. “Big brother! Big sis queen!”

The black-clad warriors were also stunned to see Zu An and the Mermaid Queen. Without any hesitation, they turned tail and fled.

Zu An harrumphed. “You think you can get away?”

Waves of golden sword ki descended from the sky and pinned the black-clad warriors to the ground. They cried in agony, but they were unable to struggle free from the golden sword ki.

After capturing the black-clad warriors, Zu An finally flew over to the Peacock Princess’ side with the Mermaid Queen. “Princess, what happened here...”

“Big brother!” Before he could finish speaking, the Peacock Princess leaped into his chest and embraced him tightly.

Taking in her youthful fragrance, Zu An awkwardly eyed the Mermaid Queen. The two of them were still holding hands. It was truly a weird situation.

The Xuan-Su guards[1], who had been protecting the Peacock Princess, exchanged looks and saw shock and disappointment in each other’s eyes. They had never seen their princess getting so intimate with a man before.

They could already guess that Zu An was the one who had saved them and their princess. Their princess had been talking nonstop about him over the last few days, so much so that their ears were about to get calluses from hearing about his affairs.

The two of them were the Peacock Princess’ childhood friends, and they secretly adored her. However, neither thought that the other was worthy of the princess. It was only now, when they saw their princess falling in love with a hero, that their hearts finally settled down.

Only a man like that is worthy of our princess... but isn’t it too much for him to be holding the hand of the Ocean races’ number one beauty while hugging our princess?

The Mermaid Queen also had the weirdest expression. She didn’t know whether to continue holding Zu An’s hand or let go. She feared that if she abruptly retracted her hand, Zu An would think she was jealous and angry, but what right did she have to get angry? Not to mention, she had reacted in the same way as the Peacock Princess when she saw him earlier. But given the eyes on them, it would be awkward to continue holding his hand too...

In the end, she chose not to let go. It wasn’t easy to hold his hand. How can I let go that easily?

Unfortunately, the crowd took this as a verification of a rumor that had been spreading among the Ocean races. It was said that a man had appeared out of nowhere and dragged the Mermaid Queen and the Peacock Princess into one bed. Gossips had fervently shared this news as if they had seen it with their own eyes, but many still refused to believe it.

They couldn’t say anything about the Peacock Princess, but they were more than familiar with the Mermaid Queen’s personality. How could someone as proud as her share a husband with other women? Which man in the world had the power to charm her that much?

But this made them realize they were short-sighted.

Such a man does exist in the world!

Zu An patted the Peacock Princess’ back to comfort her. When she finally calmed down, the first thing she said shocked Zu And and the Mermaid Queen. “The Ocean races are no more. There is no one left standing.”
