I have the best bloodline

But Huli didn't pay attention to these details. He reached out and picked up the shrimp stuck in his hair, then put it directly into his mouth to chew. As he did so, he looked at Jiao Nanwu and thanked her, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, stepmother. I'll borrow your father's time for a while."

"Why did you come here instead of eating?" Su Yan asked, looking at Hu Li squatting beside her with a strange expression.

"I'm so bored I feel like going outside for a stroll. There's a stolen goods auction going on just two streets away, the kind of thing we demonic cultivators love. I figured since we're all just killing time anyway, why not take my dad over there for a good time picking up some bargains, and then spend all the spirit stones we make on those brothels?"

Hu Li, with a straightforward expression, stated his plan and looked at Su Yan to ask for his father's opinion.

"This"

Su Yan is not currently interested in brothels, but he is somewhat interested in the stolen goods auction that Hu Li mentioned. However, he is currently attending a banquet hosted by the merfolk, and it would be very impolite to leave the banquet suddenly without any urgent business.

"No problem, but when leaving, you need to take a slight detour around the venue so as not to disturb other guests and to make sure you get back before the banquet ends."

In response to Su Yan's concerns, the robust merman patriarch, seated at the head of the table on the left, replied with a smile:

"It's just a casual meal where everyone gets together. There aren't many formalities involved. Just treat it like you're eating at an inn."

The guests who can sit at the head table are either protected by a parent from the Immortal Realm or have special bloodlines that allow them to sit at this table.

They all have powerful backgrounds and influence, so naturally they don't need to care too much about etiquette.

"Then please forgive my rudeness."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan looked at her aunt and received permission. Then she looked at her father, the merman, and apologized before leaving her seat with Hu Li. They walked straight towards the side hall of the banquet hall, intending to go around to the main entrance from the back door.

"Father, don't worry later. I've been around in the Southern Prefecture for so many years, I still have some influence. We won't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either. If anyone dares to touch you, I'll kick them in mid-air!"

"boom"

Hu Li walked ahead with a carefree attitude, trying his best to please Uncle Ya Zi, making up stories and promising Su Yan that he would protect him all the way.

But just as he approached the main gate, Hu Li, who hadn't paid any attention to the road, crashed straight into an invisible, intangible wall of air. The impact was so strong that it knocked Hu Li's nose and mouth crooked. "Ouch!" he cried, clutching his cheek as he fell to the ground.

"What is this?"

Seeing that Huli seemed to have bumped into something, Su Yan, who was two steps behind due to his shorter legs, immediately stopped and reached out with a surprised expression to touch the spot where Huli had bumped into the wall:

"It seems like there's an invisible wall, a restriction?" Su Yan raised his hand and pressed it against the invisible wall. He moved his feet and walked more than ten meters away, but he could still feel the existence of the wall.

"I'll kick it!"

Tiger, whose nose had almost been knocked crooked, wiped away the tears streaming down his face from the pain in his nose, and angrily kicked the invisible wall: "Crack!"

"boom"

The invisible wall remained unmoved, but Hu Li's cheeks, which had been burning hot from his neck down to the top of his head, rapidly rose in temperature as he delivered the kick with all his might.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

Hu Li fell to the ground, rolling around, clutching his swollen, red foot from the recoil.

"Transform water with spirit!"

Su Yan's expression changed, and he immediately retreated two zhang. He raised his hand and summoned a stream of water, holding it in his hand. He then aimed the stream directly at the invisible wall in front of him. As Su Yan raised his arm and the water jet emerged, he finally measured that the invisible wall in front of him was like an inverted bowl, trapping everyone in the Mermaid Trading Post.

"Auntie! Something's making a mess again!"

Chapter 394 The Unfinished Sacrifice (Third Update, Please Subscribe)

"Auntie! Something's messed up!"

As Su Yan summoned Shui Ling and drew a cross in front of the side hall door, Su Yan immediately sensed something was amiss. It was perfectly normal for there to be restrictions in the post station because of the goods inside.

However, when Su Yan summoned the water gun and pulled it up vertically, he discovered that the restriction was shaped like an inverted bowl. It was actually normal when it reached this point, but when Su Yan sprayed water horizontally, the water jet from the water gun was able to spray directly into the main entrance area of ​​the banquet hall.

A banquet was being held inside the banquet hall, but the main entrance was blocked by a layer of restrictions. This situation was beyond comprehension and definitely not normal.

Therefore, upon thinking of it, Su Yan turned around without the slightest hesitation and sent a telepathic message to her aunt and Jiao Nanwu, who were sitting in the banquet hall, informing them that the Mermaid Station had been restricted and sealed off.

"Someone has surrounded us?"

The aunt, who was sitting in the banquet hall, was stunned when she heard the information Su Yan conveyed through telepathy. After looking around, she frowned deeply.

Nothing seemed amiss in the banquet hall. Dishes were served one after another, and the guests continued to enjoy themselves with music and dance, laughing and joking with the mermaid girls. At the main table, acquaintances chatted and laughed about recent events while drinking and laughing. The mermaid mother and father were entertaining the gourmands who were feasting.

Everyone present behaved normally and did not emit any unusual spiritual energy fluctuations.

"You all come back to my side for now." Auntie looked around and then sent a telepathic message to Su Yan in the side hall. She pulled Jiao Nanwu along and notified Hu Lian, who was sitting opposite her looking gloomy, to come and meet her at the entrance of the side hall.

“Auntie, there is a restriction three meters outside the post station that is shaped like an inverted bowl, which completely covers the post station. Even a full-force attack from a Golden Core stage demon cannot shake it in the slightest.”

Su Yan turned his head and gestured towards Hu Li, who winced in pain and limped behind Su Yan to the door between the side hall and the main hall.

"There's nothing unusual in the banquet hall. The restriction you mentioned might be a formation," my aunt said with a helpless expression, offering her guess.

In simple terms, a restriction is a simplified array that requires cultivators to directly provide mana to maintain it. It is used for temporary emergencies or to set up simple arrays. Only arrays with a true array core do not require cultivators to directly supply mana to maintain their operation.

"The teleportation technique cannot be used to move to the outside world."

Hu Lian looked at the entrance area of ​​the side hall, raised her arm, and golden light emerged from her fingertips. The cicada worm, invisible to the naked eye, grew rapidly until it reached the width of two fingers. Then, it extended its transparent cicada wings, flapped its wings, and transformed into a golden beam of light that struck the door of the side hall.

"boom--"

The Golden Cicada Gu transformed into a beam of light that struck the array barrier directly. Ripples of azure blue spread across the barrier, and the Golden Cicada, upon impacting the array barrier, shattered into a pile of golden-yellow remains and died instantly.

The impact of the collision transformed into a whirlwind that swept through the entire banquet hall, destroying most of the side hall and banquet hall of the Merfolk's post station. Dishes and those with weak cultivation were blown away from the tables.

The moment Hu Lian made his move, the Earth Immortals in the banquet hall sensed the powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy. They were not affected by the sweeping gale, and they even managed to protect the younger members of their families beside them.

However, the Earth Immortals at the main table did not delve into Hu Lian's sudden attack. They all saw the ripples on the energy barrier, and a large formation silently trapped everyone.

"Sameru!"

The earth immortals instinctively glanced sideways and assumed a posture as they looked at the host of the banquet, the father of the merfolk.

"Clap."

The food in the hands of the gluttonous Lord of the Near Sea City fell onto the tabletop, and the hundreds of pounds of grilled fish smashed a corner of the table, causing it to collapse.

"Zizzi"

The city lord of the near-sea city, Lao Tao, did not turn his head. The protrusions on both sides of his shoulders twitched slightly, making a rustling sound. The sharp points on his left and right shoulders were pointed at the father and mother of the merman clan, respectively.

The clan elders' expressions changed drastically, and they quickly tried to appease them, saying, "Lord City Lord, please calm down. We are not quite sure what has happened. We are simply holding a banquet to entertain the talented people, just like in previous years."

"This banquet has been held annually for thousands of years without any change. Our Merfolk clan only seeks the renewable resources available to you all; we would never make enemies with the clans or groups behind you."

The old glutton didn't speak; he knew, of course, that the array above the post station had nothing to do with them.

However, as the strongest person in the banquet hall, when he spoke, the other cultivators would obediently shut their mouths and wait for him to speak. The glutton's actions were actually helping the merfolk to exonerate themselves.

The banquet hall was in complete chaos. Taking advantage of the confusion, Hu Lian and her aunt retreated from the side hall entrance to a corner of the side hall, completely away from the crowd in the banquet hall.

No one knew what was happening. All they knew was that a formation had suddenly surrounded them while they were having a feast at the post station, and no mastermind had come forward to explain.

They surrounded everyone so quietly.

"It perfectly blocks spiritual energy; it can't be broken through, nor can it be escaped through the exchange of spiritual energy!" Auntie raised her hand to stroke the barrier, her brows furrowed. "So far, we only know that the formation belongs to the water element. Could we have just stumbled upon the Nightmare Suppression Sect again?"

The city of Nearshore is now a melting pot of all sorts of people. First, there's the Merfolk's customary marriage recruitment event, then there's the Demonic Sect's auction of stolen goods, and on top of that, there are the sea beast tribes that already gather here. The biodiversity in Nearshore is more abundant than ever before.

My aunt hadn't forgotten that the Merfolk Mother had told her that the extinct Nightmare Town tribe in the Western Province showed signs of resurgence and a comeback.

Therefore, Auntie has every reason to suspect that the Nightmare Town sect in the western state, taking advantage of the Merfolk's marriage proposal, arranged a so-called auction of stolen goods behind the scenes to attract demonic cultivators, causing a large number of cultivators to gather in the coastal city in an instant.

"I remember the Nightmare Town Sect in the Western State is skilled in methods of stealing lives? Could those guys be planning to sacrifice the coastal city as revenge against the dragons, and at the same time plunder the magical power of all the cultivators present?"

My aunt's eyes twitched slightly as she subconsciously looked up at the only entrance above the coastal city. A subtle feeling welled up in her heart: "Sure enough, the entrance has already started to show signs of leaking."

The entrance to the city above the sea is actually more than 20 meters above the sea level, but the circular pipes that are exposed above the sea are not visible.

The entrance and exit were specially raised to prevent sea waves and rainwater from flowing back in. The arched bridge at the entrance was also built to facilitate everyone's entry and exit and to prevent cultivators from bumping their heads while coming and going.

But even with such a carefully constructed entrance, when my aunt looked over, she could see water droplets falling from between the entrance and the water, clearly indicating that the formation maintaining the existence of the coastal city had malfunctioned.

"Tick-tock tick-tock"

At the entrance above the coastal city, the sight of water droplets falling became increasingly noticeable. In the banquet hall, the immortals and guests, due to mutual suspicion, spontaneously formed groups with their acquaintances to be wary of the unfamiliar cultivators around them.

The once bustling banquet hall became increasingly strange after the formation suddenly appeared, with suspicion and distrust spreading within the formation's circle.

"Boom!"

Each group formed its own small group and began using its own methods to prepare to break the magic array and escape.

However, the Earth Immortals' power was completely useless when they struck the azure blue water formation. They even suffered a backlash from the formation's counter-force, causing their bodies to tremble and shake.

"Gathering water with spirit."

Su Yan, who was in a corner of the side hall, raised his hand and touched the energy barrier of the formation. He used his dragon race's water control talent to try to interfere with the formation in front of him, which was constructed based on the water element.

"Your power can't affect it. The best solution right now is to find the hidden core of the formation." My aunt put her hands on her hips and looked around the room, trying to find the energy core that must exist inside the formation.

But what happened next surprised both Auntie and Hu Lian.

Su Yan stroked the barrier for a moment, then leaped back, turned around, and shouted. He delivered a whip kick to the energy barrier in front of him, and the heavy blow, wrapped in white spiritual energy, directly cracked the energy barrier.

There is a way to have it all in this world—

Su Yan used the dragon race's water control to observe the barrier, found the energy node inside the formation, and used the Bai Ze secret technique, which can negate or even annihilate spiritual energy, to kick out with a heavy foot, slowing down the energy of one of the nodes for a moment, thus causing a crack to appear in the formation that even earth immortals could not break.

But it was just a crack, and as the energy of the encircling formation circulated, the crack that Su Yan kicked out instantly repaired itself without leaving a trace.

"You kicked the formation apart?!"

My aunt, with her neck stiffened, stared incredulously at the little fox who had kicked the array open.

You should know that the energy barrier in front of them was something that even a celestial being couldn't overcome. Su Yan's outrageous act really surprised his aunt.

A little over a year ago, the little fox was still just a child who wasn't very skilled in magic or supernatural powers, relying on his dragon race's innate supernatural abilities to perform tricks.

And now that she could actually kick open the energy barrier that she herself was powerless against, how could her aunt not be surprised?
