Chapter 1023: Chapter 755: Turning the Tables

Many assassins hadn’t yet managed to rush out of the palace when a mighty force suddenly sent them flying.

Immediately afterward, they saw a slender and graceful figure emerge from the palace.

The leading male’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he shouted, "Sure enough, the Dark Hall is hidden here! Brothers, charge! Whoever can chop off that wench’s head will become the new King of the Water Clan!"

Finally, when the Sea Emperor is severely wounded, if you don’t kill him now, when will you ever have the chance?

This group of Sea Beastmen charged forward like madmen.

But how could Shen Tang possibly let them succeed? If these people wanted to assassinate Jia Lan, they’d have to step over her corpse first.

This group of rebel beastmen were indeed formidable, with dozens at the Primordial Beast Tier.

However, the disparity in strength within the Primordial Beast Tier is also quite large.

It’s important to know that the further you advance, the slower your power increases. Within the Primordial Beast Tier, just advancing one small realm can mean a greater difference in power even compared to crossing a major realm!

Right now, Shen Tang is at the Peak of Primordial Beast Tier, so even facing ten Late-stage Primordial Beast Rank beastmen, she isn’t afraid!

She fought alone against thousands of rebels.

Cries of agony echoed all around.

Soon, bodies were strewn everywhere outside the palace.

The rebels lay dead, fled, and not many remained.

On the intense battlefield, no one probably noticed a figure sneaking into the palace.

It was a male beastman who looked about twenty or thirty, with considerable strength, at the Early Stage of Primordial Beast, dressed in an Imperial Palace Guard Uniform, with a knife strapped to his waist, appearing as a palace guard.

Once he sneaked into the Dark Hall, he immediately saw the stunning golden-haired young mermaid lying on the bed, and intense hatred and anger erupted in his eyes.

Slash—

He drew the bayonet from his side, with the blade glimmering coldly, and stepped towards Jia Lan.

"Who’s there?"

Jia Lan sensed the unfamiliar aura and quickly turned his head, seeing a guard rushing towards him with a knife.

Jia Lan’s expression subtly changed.

He seemed to recall seeing this guard in his memory—he was the one Fei Luo had brought from the clan.

The man roared with hatred, "Since that night, Miss hasn’t come out of your palace again! I couldn’t find her anywhere; you must have killed her! I want to kill you to avenge Miss!"

Jia Lan’s face turned even paler, fingers forming deep folds in the bedding. He bit his lip tightly, his blue eyes flashing with cold light.

Ordinarily, he wouldn’t have bothered with such a flea. But now, he was seriously injured, suffering from long blood loss, and barely had any strength to retaliate.

Just as the guard’s blade was about to strike him, a cold light shot over immediately, splitting the guard’s knife in half.

Then, a superpower blasted him away, collapsing much of the wall, and the man disappeared from sight.

"Ah Lan, are you okay?"

Shen Tang hurried over, asking nervously.

The young mermaid collected himself and looked at the female who quickly approached the bedside, gently shook his head, and softly said, "I’m okay, fortunately, you came in time; he didn’t succeed."

Only then did Shen Tang breathe a sigh of relief and, with a frown, said with lingering fear, "I didn’t expect an assassin to sneak in! But don’t worry, I’ve dealt with those assassins on the way here, and the rebels outside have been cleared."

She sat beside the bed, held his hand, and softly comforted, "We’re safe now!"

Jia Lan also gazed deeply at her, his beautiful and clear blue eyes filled with infinite tenderness, gratefully saying, "That’s great, luckily you were here; otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do."

"I said I’d protect you, and I won’t let anything happen to you!" Shen Tang raised an eyebrow proudly and said.

Jia Lan’s pale yet beautiful face seemed to flush slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed that as a male, he was always being protected by his companion, but his heart was probably filled with happiness.

"Tangtang, meeting you is truly the greatest fortune of my life."

Looking at the young man’s beautiful and enchanting smile, Shen Tang felt genuine happiness and satisfaction, but something seemed missing, leaving her feeling a bit empty inside.

Her expression paused, she suddenly froze.

What is it?

Oh, she hadn’t heard the system’s voice.

Knowing the significant event of Jia Lan’s resurrection, given the system’s noisy personality, it would certainly be very excited; why had it suddenly become so quiet and silent?

It seemed ever since Jia Lan awakened, it had been silent.
