As the mermaid mother struggled more intensely.
The demon growers of the mermaid clan grew increasingly nervous.
Of course, if any ordinary person saw their own mother suddenly fall to the ground twisting and convulsing, they would also become nervous.
But they could do nothing to fix it; the current state of the mermaid mother was completely inaccessible.
That terrifying flesh in the Realm of the Great Ascension.
A group of cultivators in the Realm of Divine Transformation who approached and touched her would be the first to die, even before the mermaid mother.
After the time equivalent to an incense stick passed.
The mermaid mother suddenly opened dozens of huge eyes, looked furiously at the sky.
She emitted a piercing and sharp scream from her mouth and finally stopped struggling.
Immediately, countless yellowish fluids began to flow from her body.
Making the seawater around turn murky.
A sharp stench also spread incessantly, transforming the entire marine area into a gigantic landfill.
Upon realizing that the life breath of the mermaid mother had disappeared.
The numerous demon cultivators of the mermaid clan present were completely stunned.
The mermaid mother?
Dead?
This fact was too strong a blow to the mermaid clan, which for a moment could not even react.
Only Tang Yu was unaffected.
After all, it was not his mother who had died.
Was he so bored that he was going to go cry at someone else's coffin?
Just to fit in, he pretended to be shocked and after a moment shouted furiously.
"The mermaid mother was attacked! Block off the entire area!"
After his shout, many demon cultivators present ran at full speed toward the mermaid mother's corpse to find the killer.
After everyone dispersed toward the body.
A great demon of the mermaid clan, at the peak of the Realm of Divine Transformation, raised his hand and cast a spell toward the sea bottom.
After casting that spell, suddenly a black shadow appeared where there had been no one before on the seabed.
The shadow instantly transformed into thousands of black threads, which dispersed in different directions at an unpredictable speed.
This peculiar escape technique immediately alerted the demon cultivators of the mermaid clan.
"Do not let the killer escape!"
Tang Yu shouted while chasing a group of escaping black threads.
Many cultivators of the mermaid clan also cast their spells to attack those black threads.
Although those threads moved at great speed, they had no defense and disappeared immediately when hit by the spells.
As for the real body hidden in one of those black threads.
The demon cultivators of the mermaid clan could only try to capture them one by one.
When Situ Dajin arrived with other elites of the mermaid clan.
Seeing the corpse of the mermaid mother at the bottom of the sea, he nearly fainted from the shock and began crying inconsolably, kneeling and banging his head with the palm of his hand while moaning.
"Ancestor! Your son was disloyal and arrived too late!"
The demon cultivators behind him also began crying inconsolably.
They left and upon returning found their mother dead; who could bear it?
While everyone cried and screamed, the cultivators who had gone after the black threads returned one by one.
Those responsible for protecting the feeding ceremony this time were exclusively elders of the mermaid clan.
When they returned and saw their leader and his group crying profusely.
They also ran to kneel and cry while furiously hitting their faces, blaming themselves for not detecting the killer.
"So you didn't even manage to reach the killer, and let them escape?"
Upon hearing the elders' explanation, Situ Dajin spat blood from rage, with a terrifying expression.
"The killer used a very strange escape technique; the young leader and other elders have not yet returned, we can only place our hopes in them."
The great elder said this and then slapped his own face several times forcefully.
They have returned, and the black threads we could pursue have already been completely destroyed.
The main body of the enemy has not been found either.
So, the few who have not yet returned might still be able to discover something.
"A killer capable of killing the ancestor is not an ordinary person; at least they must have cultivation in the Realm of Integration. My son went to pursue him, but that does not mean he is a match for him. In what direction did he go?"
The furious Situ Dajin almost slapped the great elder of his family to death.
Although his beloved son has exceptional talent, in the end he is too young; his cultivation level is still not high enough, how could he be a match for that killer?
The great elder finally reacted and was about to get up to help.
From afar, several presences were already arriving.
Everyone looked and saw that it was three elders of the mermaid clan and the young clan leader.
At that moment, Tang Yu had a pale face and was seriously injured, the three elders held him, with faces full of sadness and rage.
Situ Dajin saw that his precious son was injured and quickly ran to ask him: "Yu'er, what happened to you? Did that killer hurt you?"
"I am incompetent. After chasing the killer, I could not stop him, and I was almost killed by him. If it were not for several elders who came to help me, I would probably be dead already."
Tang Yu said with guilt and regret: "The feeding ceremony has reached this point because of my incompetence. I, Situ Yu, am willing to accept punishment."
"Young clan leader, this is not your fault. If anyone is to blame, it is all of us who have the duty to protect."
"Yes, that damned killer was too cunning."
"If we do not avenge this in this life, I will not be able to die in peace."
Several elders wiped away Tang Yu's guilt aside.
Situ Dajin also knew this was a trap set on purpose, and surely he would not be so foolish as to let his precious son bear the blame, so he softened his tone.
"Today's mistake is the fault of outsiders. The urgent thing now is to find this thief; no matter what clan he belongs to, our shark man clan will be a mortal enemy."
Having said this, he quickly took out several pills and gave them to Tang Yu to take.
In his opinion, his son was an uncommon talent and surely his future would surpass his own.
After all, a tiger does not beget a dog; he is already so strong, how could his son not be?
"Clan leader, we have already investigated and the ancestor was poisoned. We do not know the method used; they mixed snow with poison…"
At that moment, an elder approached and informed Situ Dajin about the cause of death.
"Poison capable of killing the ancestor? Have you discovered what kind of poison it is?"
Situ Dajin asked with a severe expression.
The elder hesitated for a moment, then extended his palm, where a black cloud appeared.
This black cloud sometimes turned into a spider, sometimes into a venomous snake, and suddenly into a horrifying human face.
It was poison, but also a living being.
Seeing this black cloud, Situ Dajin observed it for a moment and then shouted angrily.
"Is it the Ghost Poison of the Ghost Shark clan!?"
The Ghost Shark clan is expert in assassinations and poisonings, the latter being their specialty.
This ghost poison is their secret technique, only a few elites can master it.
"I also suspect it's them. Earlier, when I fought that killer, his technique had some similarity to that of the Ghost Shark clan."
Tang Yu intervened from one side.
He took this ghost poison out of a storage ring during the past month.
He intentionally mixed it with snow crystals.
Thus, the next scenario needs no explanation.
Upon receiving this important information,
Situ Dajin stored the ghost poison and, as clan leader,
Ordered that all expert warriors of the mermaid clan in the Realm of Nascent Soul go out to hunt the Ghost Shark clan!
Tang Yu, who wanted to accompany the expedition, was held back.
First because he was seriously injured.
And second because he had just been appointed inspector, and participating in this would affect his future...
