Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 734 The Fear of the Evil Soul Master
The man in black robes breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the sea princess hadn't noticed anything amiss.

Their attempt to find the Sea Princess under the guise of a spirit was extremely risky; if discovered, they would surely die!
Of course, if you succeed, there are many benefits.

However, when he raised his head and looked at the person in front of him, his pupils contracted sharply, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

"You know me, don't you?"

Although his spiritual sea was sealed and he could only use very little spiritual power, he could still discern something from the changes in the eyes of the person in front of him.

This person definitely knows him!
This guy was even his enemy! Because he saw fear in the other person's eyes!

If he wasn't an enemy, why would I feel fear upon seeing him?

The man in black robes trembled upon hearing this.

He knows Jiang Ming, of course he knows him!

Throughout the entire Holy Spirit Cult, anyone with even a little bit of power knows Jiang Ming!

No, that's not right!

He knew Jiang Ming, but Jiang Ming didn't know him!

Given his strength, he wasn't even qualified to participate in the clash between Mingdu and the Holy Spirit Cult; he was just cannon fodder.

calm down!

calm down!

The man in black robes forcibly suppressed his shock and panic, his mind racing.

At this moment, if he says the wrong thing, given the relationship between Jiang Ming and the Holy Spirit Cult, he will surely die in Jiang Ming's hands!
"Yes, of course I know you! How could I not know you? But I know you, you probably don't know me."

The man in black robes was unaware of the current situation. Why had Jiang Ming come together with the merfolk? Moreover, Jiang Ming's current state seemed somewhat off.

Upon hearing this, Liya immediately smiled.

"Great! You know him? What's his name?"

Jiang Ming also looked at the man in black robes, as he was also curious about his own name.

"what?"

The man in black robes was puzzled when he heard Liya ask this question.

Do I need to ask him for Jiang Ming's name?
What kind of operation is this?
Liya explained, "He has amnesia. He can't remember many things, even his own name."

Upon hearing this, the man in black robes was immediately startled!
Jiang Ming has amnesia?
"How could this happen? How could Jiang Ming suddenly lose his memory?"

he asked subconsciously.

Putting everything else aside, Jiang Ming's strength is admired by everyone in the Holy Spirit Sect, and even by the top experts of the Sun Moon Empire.

A man in his twenties, whose strength was so great that even the combined might of most of the powerful figures of the Sun Moon Empire and the top experts of the Holy Spirit Cult could not suppress him.

Since that incident in the western suburbs of the Sun Moon Empire, Jiang Ming's strength has been recognized as that of a top expert on the continent! It's hard to say whether he's number one, but he's definitely a top expert! After all, even a peerless expert like Dragon Emperor Douluo almost died at Jiang Ming's hands.

A powerful expert of this caliber suddenly loses his memory?

This is too outrageous!

"Jiang Ming?"

Liya blinked, looked at Jiang Ming, and said softly, "So your name is Jiang Ming! Now I don't have to call you 'Hey' anymore."

Jiang Ming frowned. He felt a sense of familiarity with the name and thought that it might be his own name.

"I don't know why, but I suddenly ended up here in the Ice Sea. After waking up, I realized I couldn't remember anything. Could you tell me more about me?"

Although the person had looked at him with fear, and might be an enemy, since the other person recognized him, he decided to try to get some information about himself from the other person first.

"That's possible, but I need to get the merfolk back to land as soon as possible to perform their soul transformation; we can't delay."

As he spoke, the man in black robes looked at the sea princess standing to the side.

He needed to quickly bring back the news that Jiang Ming had appeared in the icy sea and had lost his memory!

In fact, compared to this news, their original plans seemed insignificant.

This is Jiang Ming!

He even considered abandoning the plan altogether and going back immediately.

But he had no choice; he needed a reason. Otherwise, he couldn't afford to offend either Princess Hai or Jiang Ming. These two were the kind of people who could crush him like an ant!

Hearing the black-robed man's words, the Sea Princess nodded and said, "Indeed, so many of our people need to undergo soul transformation, and we can't afford to waste time. How about this, Liya, you and Jiang Ming take the people to the mainland, help them complete their soul transformation, and then come back to get married."

The transformation of a dying soul beast into a soul spirit is obviously not something that can be done in one fell swoop. After all, every year there are soul beasts on the verge of death in the soul beast population. Such long-term cooperation requires a person of sufficient weight to accomplish it.

She herself still needs to stay in the Ice Sea, so sending Liya, as her successor, is the best choice. It can also enhance Liya's prestige among her tribe through this matter.

Liya nodded when she heard her mother's arrangement.

As a princess of the mermaid race, she felt it was her duty to do such a thing.

"Okay."

When the man in black heard that Jiang Ming was also going along, his pupils contracted sharply, and he knew something was wrong.

If Jiang Ming were to stay with the group, their plan would be impossible to carry out!

With Jiang Ming's strength, if he senses something is wrong, he can wipe out everyone on his side by himself!

But at this moment, he couldn't think of any excuse not to bring Jiang Ming along. If he forcefully refused, it would easily arouse their suspicion, and then they would not only fail to bring the message back, but also have to leave the person behind.

After the sea princess and Liya exchanged a few words of advice, the group set off.

There is still a long distance between the depths of the icy sea and the cities of humans.

Throughout the journey, Jiang Ming tried to communicate with the man in black robes, wanting to learn more about himself, but the man in black robes only talked about trivial things.

Furthermore, the man in black robes sent people back to the human city ahead of time, saying that they should prepare everything in advance to welcome them.

There was nothing wrong with what he said, but Jiang Ming had a vague feeling that something was not quite right.

If we consider this man in black as our enemy, then his actions are tantamount to tipping someone off!

With this in mind, Jiang Ming stopped communicating with the man in black robes and went to Liya, who was leading the mermaids across the sea. He whispered to Liya, "Liya, do you have any way to contact the Sea Princess remotely?"

Liya didn't know why Jiang Ming was asking this, but she nodded and said, "Yes, I have a telepathic connection with my mother and can contact her remotely."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming's eyes lit up, and he said, "Okay, then hurry up and use it."

Before they could finish speaking, the black-robed figure in front of them, wearing a flying soul tool, looked in their direction.

Seeing this, Jiang Ming reached out and took Liya's snow-white arm, leaning closer to her in a very intimate manner. "These people are suspicious. Contact Senior Sea Princess and have her summon some powerful merfolk to follow us, just in case anything goes wrong."

When Liya saw Jiang Ming leaning in so close to her that his breath could even touch her, two blushes immediately appeared on her face.

For some reason, she felt that even Jiang Ming's breath carried a seductive scent.

However, she was, after all, a 100,000-year-old soul beast, and one that was skilled in mental power, so she was able to suppress her restless physical instincts.

"They have a problem? Really? But..."

Liya was still somewhat doubtful, after all, her mother seemed to trust these people quite a bit.

"Lia, trust me!"

Jiang Ming's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice.

"Furthermore, Liya, you must understand that there are over a thousand of you merfolk here. What will happen to them if something really goes wrong? Just in case!"

The merfolk had helped him a lot, and given the unsettling feeling he had towards these men in black robes, he had a real sense that something serious was going on!
Liya is very naive, or rather, the entire mermaid race is not very wary of humans.

If these people really do anything wrong, Liya, being a 100,000-year-old soul beast, will still have some ability to resist, but these thousands of old, weak, sick, and disabled merfolk will basically be doomed!

"You're right, I'll contact my mother right away!"

Although Princess Liya didn't think her mother would be deceived by these men in black robes, she did think Jiang Ming's words made sense.

It's always good to be safe, just in case.

She immediately used the telepathic communication unique to the merfolk royal family to send a message to her mother.

Somewhere in the icy sea, the sea princess was making plans in her palace for the mermaid princess's wedding. The scale of the wedding was not to be underestimated, especially since Liya was her heir and the future queen of the mermaid race.

Suddenly, the sea princess's eyes narrowed.

"Is there something wrong with that group?"

Upon receiving the message transmitted from Liya's mind, the Sea Princess frowned sharply!
There were no problems when she talked to that group of people. They were all respectful and polite, and spoke very nicely. Moreover, she had already confirmed that spirits do exist.

Is there a problem? Where is the problem?
“Mother, Jiang Ming said that just in case, you should bring a few elders with you. If nothing unexpected happens, all will be well, but if something unexpected does happen, I may not be able to protect the clansmen.”

Another telepathic connection was transmitted.

Upon hearing this telepathic message, the Sea Princess raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Heh, Jiang Ming hasn't even married into the family yet, and you're already listening to him? But it's good that Jiang Ming is aware of the need to protect his people. I'll be there soon."

She was even more satisfied with Jiang Ming.

Afterwards, Princess Hai summoned Regent and asked her to continue making arrangements for Liya and Jiang Ming's wedding in the palace.

She herself, following the telepathic connection with Liya, quickly swam towards Liya's location.

Actually, she didn't think anything unexpected would happen, but since Jiang Ming was able to consider the safety of the mermaids, she decided to go over there as a way of showing her approval of him.

As for bringing elders, that's clearly unnecessary.

With her 600,000 years of cultivation, even if something unexpected happens, she can easily handle it.

The Sea Princess is incredibly fast. In this icy sea, the speed of the mermaid race is actually among the top of many soul beast races, let alone her, the ruler of the icy sea.

Meanwhile, after receiving telepathic feedback from her mother, Liya's blush deepened.

Especially since Jiang Ming was standing very close to her, the strange fragrance kept wafting into her nose, making her body feel weak, and she almost fell into the sea without realizing it.

Jiang Ming quickly reached out and put his arm around Liya's slender waist to steady her.

"what happened to you?"

Liya was initially able to recover, but when Jiang Ming put his arm around her waist, she suddenly felt even weaker.

What Jiang Ming didn't know was that the waist was one of the most sensitive parts of Liya's body.

"N-nothing."

Liya said, her face flushed and her eyes somewhat glazed over.

The black-robed man, who had been cautiously observing the scene from the front, was immediately relieved upon seeing this.

It seems that Jiang Ming has really lost his memory and has really gotten involved with the mermaid.

The dying mermaids following behind, witnessing this scene, whispered amongst themselves as they hurried through the icy sea. Most of the older mermaids watched with maternal smiles.

Seeing Liya's face growing increasingly red, Jiang Ming seemed to realize something and quickly released his grip on Liya's waist.

"Excuse me, I noticed you weren't feeling well just now."

Liya gently shook her head and said, "It's nothing."

After Jiang Ming's hand left her waist, Liya felt a little empty for some reason, but her physical condition quickly returned to normal.

"Oh, right, my mother just said that she's on her way here."

Hearing this, Jiang Ming breathed a slight sigh of relief.

With the arrival of the sea princess, there shouldn't be any major problems.

However, he still asked the 'big sister' in his heart.

"Boss, is what these people are talking about—spirits—real or fake?"

In fact, Jiang Ming felt that with the Sea Princess's strength, she shouldn't be unable to tell the difference between what was real and what was fake. However, since he had no memory, obtaining information from various sources was a way to alleviate his anxiety, as he knew nothing about the situation.

While Xiaoyu was still pondering how to stop Jiang Ming from being forcibly married by the mermaid clan, upon hearing Jiang Ming's question, she replied directly, "The soul spirit is real, and I am now considered your soul spirit as well."

Jiang Ming wasn't too surprised to hear what the "big sister" said.

If the spirits weren't real, the Sea Princess wouldn't have allowed so many of her people to follow these few men in black robes to the land.

But if that's true, do these black-robed figures really help the mermaids transform their souls?
Jiang Ming felt that things were probably not that simple.

Aside from the fear he felt when the black-robed leader saw him at the beginning, he hadn't found any other clues yet.

The scenery on the icy sea is monotonous, consisting of nothing but seawater and icebergs.

However, as the group got closer to the mainland, the massive icebergs became smaller and smaller, and the temperature of the seawater gradually increased.

Several hours later, the group had left the icy sea and entered the seawater at normal temperature.

The black-robed man who had left the group earlier has returned and enthusiastically said that they have prepared a grand welcoming ceremony on the continent to welcome the mermaids.
