Chapter 2390 - 2390 Grace Sacred Hall Under Control!
2390 Grace Sacred Hall Under Control!
When Ancient Ocean, Frozen Ocean, Ink Ocean, and the other 20 patrolling sea envoys started eating the food, Extreme Ocean could not be bothered to continue with the act.
His poison acted extremely swiftly, and these baited prey would soon notice something wrong.
The various Dictators all had different types of bodies, so some were weaker than the others.
Suddenly, a female Dictator with clear sea beast features placed her hand on her head as she felt rather dizzy. It was as though she would fall off the stool at any time.
The male Dictator next to her quickly propped her up.
“What’s wrong, Sturgeon Hoof? Is your hidden illness acting up again? From my memory, you injured your abdomen and not your head.”
Once one became a Turning Wheel Realm Dictator, discomfort over lack of rest was no longer an issue. If there were any issues, it could only be because of an injury.
Regardless, the male patrolling sea envoy would never guess that Sturgeon Hoof had been poisoned.
At this moment, Sturgeon Hoof was experiencing a splitting headache. The pain and dizziness had exceeded the level that she could endure.
Before Sturgeon Hoof could express how she was feeling, another patrolling sea envoy started exhibiting the same symptoms.
The patrolling sea envoys realized that they had fallen into a trap, and chaos immediately broke out.
Ancient Ocean, Ink Ocean, and Frozen Ocean had known Extreme Ocean for five to six thousand years. They were well aware of each other’s methods. Out of the four of them, Extreme Ocean was the only one who was skilled at using poisons.
This situation matched the effects of Extreme Ocean’s poison exactly.
The three of them immediately shot glares at Extreme Ocean. Ancient Ocean looked at Extreme Ocean with a complicated gaze and asked sharply, “Extreme Ocean, you poisoned us! Have you betrayed us and joined Mermaid Forbidden Sea?”
Extreme Ocean’s words had touched Ancient Ocean. But in actuality, they had been played by Extreme Ocean!
This was an unforgivable sin!
While Ancient Ocean was speaking, Extreme Ocean activated his source totem ability.
Dark blue light started to swirl around Extreme Ocean’s body, and eventually, three beams of light shot out and hit Ancient Ocean, Ink Ocean, and Frozen Ocean, leaving large holes in each of them.
The stronger poison in the food started to spread out around the wound.
Extreme Ocean could cause such an extent of damage to the three of them because he had used all of his strength. Furthermore, they had been poisoned by Evil Source’s poison and had been circulating their source-type power to counter the poison. Otherwise, Extreme Ocean would never have been able to produce such significant damage.
Ancient Ocean, Ink Ocean, and Frozen Ocean were on guard from the moment that Sturgeon Hoof pressed her head.
If they could not even sense such a thing, there was no way they could live in peace for so long in the water world.
At that moment, the three of them also sensed that the circulation of their source-type power through their blood vessels had been blocked.
Extreme Ocean knew that his plan had been accomplished to perfection.
He chuckled.
“All four of us have mermaid blood on our hands. Even if Mermaid Forbidden Sea is cooking up a scheme, they would never try to approach any of the four of us! It wasn’t a waste to use the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves that I’ve treasured for so long because I’ve managed to poison all three of you.”
Frozen Ocean laboriously continued to clear out the blockage in his blood vessels caused by the poison as he snarled, “Extreme Ocean, are you actually planning on taking three of us out so you can have sole authority in Grace Sacred Hall? You aren’t capable enough!”
Frozen Ocean spoke threateningly, and it did sting Extreme Ocean’s ears.
However, Extreme Ocean knew Frozen Ocean’s words were true and factual. He was incapable of ruling over Grace Sacred Hall by himself.
No matter how peace-loving the mermaid emperors were, there was no way they would hesitate to declare war on Grace Sacred Hall once they found out that the other three royal attendants had died, and there was only one Samsara Realm Dictator left ruling over Grace Sacred Hall. This way, they could erase Grace Sacred Hall and control the entire water world themselves.
This would prevent more inferior mermaids from being threatened by Grace Sacred Hall and expand their territory so the mermaids had more s.p.a.ce to live and move freely.
Extreme Ocean nodded at Frozen Ocean in agreement.
“It’s true that I’m incapable, but Lord Lin Yuan is! Vine Source, restrain the three of them and their patrolling sea envoys. I will go and send word to Lord Lin Yuan.”
Ancient Ocean, Ink Ocean, and Frozen Ocean’s eyes flew wide open when they heard what Extreme Ocean said.
This was the first time that the three of them were hearing Lin Yuan and Vine Source’s names.
Extreme Ocean used to address the two rulers as ‘Lord’.
Could this Lin Yuan be on the same level as the two rulers?
Extreme Ocean did not join Mermaid Forbidden Sea but had joined a new faction instead. None of the three of them could have expected this!
Extreme Ocean only just spoke, and the flower pot where Vine Source was hiding exploded open.
The seed that Vine Source had transformed into germinated, and vines started to dance around wildly until Vine Source’s figure was formed.
Vine Source released his chilling aura, enveloping everyone within the hall, including Extreme Ocean.
Vine Source’s displeasure toward Extreme Ocean had reached a peak. How dare he order him to control these people while he went to report to Lord Lin Yuan?
It was clear that whoever reported to Lin Yuan about the successful completion of the plan would leave a better impression on him.
Yet, Vine Source did not have the means to fight with Extreme Ocean over this because he was only a.s.sisting Extreme Ocean while Extreme Ocean was the one actually leading this entire operation.
With fury bubbling within him, a large number of brown and green vines emerged from Vine Source’s body.
The vines violently lashed Ink Ocean, Ancient Ocean, Frozen Ocean, and the other patrolling sea envoys. The vines quickly wrapped around Ink Ocean, Ancient Ocean, Frozen Ocean, and the other patrolling sea envoys, holding them captive.
Many of the vines entered Ink Ocean, Ancient Ocean, and Frozen Ocean’s bodies through the wounds on their bodies.
Many years had pa.s.sed since the three of them last let out cries of agony.
Extreme Ocean ignored Vine Source’s efforts to target him with his aura but was feeling increasing disdain towards Vine Source.
It was likely that Ancient Ocean, Ink Ocean, and Frozen Ocean would also become loyal to Lin Yuan. They would all be under the same master in the future and be colleagues.
It would be difficult for the three of them to forget how they suffered today.
Extreme Ocean did not have a choice but to act this way for the sake of carrying out the plan, but Vine Source did not have to do all that he was doing.
Subordinates were different from the higher-ups. For higher-ups, power was the most important! As long as they had power, they would be able to preserve their status at the very least.
However, subordinates not only needed sufficient power to prove their value but also needed to know how to work together! Otherwise, they would end up as scapegoats.
Now that Vine Source had taken control of the situation, Extreme Ocean ignored him and started swimming towards the outskirts where Lin Yuan was waiting to hear from him!
