"What's going on?"
The Demon King surfaced and uttered only this one sentence. He then spotted a group of people standing on the shore and casually went over to chat.
"What's the situation here?"
The crowd watched as the Demon King, appearing completely unfazed, strode directly towards them. What was this all about?
Everyone was puzzled.
At this moment, Meng Huai said to Xie You, "Perception Barrier!"
Following that, Xie You used the Perception Barrier to isolate Meng Huai and the Demon King. Yes, within the entire Perception Barrier, only the two of them existed.
The onlookers nearby were bewildered by this development. This was something Meng Huai and Xie You had planned together. Even though Xie You had objected, he had ultimately agreed to Meng Huai's plan after her persistent persuasion.
However, the others were unaware of Meng Huai and Xie You's preparedness. They only saw Meng Huai and the Demon King enclosed within the Perception Barrier.
Xie Xue reminded him, "Your Highness, Meng Huai is also inside the Perception Barrier. Quickly retract the Perception Barrier and let Meng Huai out."
Xie Xue, ever cautious, failed to notice how impolite, even commanding, his words were to Xie You.
Xie You ignored Xie Xue, but his gaze towards the pair within the Perception Barrier was filled with concern.
At this moment, the other onlookers also wore expressions of worry, unsure of what would happen next.
Only a few seconds passed before the Demon King's expression changed again.
"It's you again! It's all of you again!"
The Demon King's mind became deranged once more. He turned and saw that his previous sanctuary was gone, and the sea surface was still turbulent.
These same two people stood before him, and he was furious.
He attacked Meng Huai directly. Indeed, he realized they were enclosed within this so-called Perception Barrier. But since the formation master was also inside, that was good.
Today, he was determined to make her pay. The Demon King thought this.
Meng Huai, however, had already begun her assault, not giving the Demon King any time to think. Moreover, she was fully prepared today and had entered her mecha.
Within the mecha, she could control various weapons, such as swords and blades. Simultaneously, she could also launch artillery attacks.
The outer shell of the mecha was wrapped in Green Jade, which could effectively shield Meng Huai from attacks.
Meng Huai attacked, and the Demon King responded. This was now a real battle, and everyone watched their fight with bated breath.
Many present knew of Meng Huai's strength, but the Demon King had caused such a significant crisis in just over a month. His power was not to be underestimated either!
The two engaged in combat, back and forth. Even with the Perception Barrier preventing the onlookers from being affected, the commotion was considerable.
Some citizens of Blue Sea Star had already noticed the area, but very few people ventured to the coast. It was simply too dangerous, so usually, only those seeking to collect Starfish Beasts would risk coming here.
After all, following Meng Huai and her companions' feasting on Blue Sea Star, and with the availability of the antidote, Starfish Beasts had become highly sought after.
However, with all stars in turmoil, there were no visitors to the coastline. After all, people valued their lives at such times; what if something unexpected happened?
Yet, such a grand display was occurring here, and the commotion had attracted the attention of many on Blue Sea Star. People were sharing information, inquiring about what was happening.
However, no reporters were willing to risk their lives to broadcast this, but some couldn't resist their curiosity. They remotely operated cameras to investigate what was happening.
When the camera captured the scene, the remote operator was stunned.
"Such a major event cannot be seen only by myself."
Such things must be shared, so this young man directly started a live stream. He also replied in the thread discussing what was happening: "Want to know what's happening, come watch the live stream! [Web Link]"
Initially, people thought it was someone trying to gain attention, as who would be live-streaming now? Everyone was hiding at home, wishing for no disturbances, feeling safe!
But out of curiosity, someone clicked the link.
As a result, the number of viewers in the live stream gradually increased.
"What is this?"
The live stream was very clear, so it was instantly recognizable that the person in the frame was Meng Huai. With the long-distance view, people could see the guards standing around.
However, only one person was fighting the Demon King, while the Crown Prince was still maintaining the Perception Barrier.
"What is this? They've used the Perception Barrier to trap Meng Huai and the Demon King together? Crown Prince, I am so disappointed in you. I never expected you to be like this."
"Exactly, with so many people in the major military regions, why is it up to a student to resolve this matter?"
"I truly cannot believe that something like this is actually happening."
"Don't get me wrong, everyone, let's watch first, okay? The fight looks very intense, I can't even see their movements clearly!"
Just as viewers entered the live stream to voice their complaints about the military regions and Xie You, lightning and thunder flashed across the screen.
It was from Meng Huai's side.
"This doesn't look like a Five Thunder Talisman, does it?"
"The Five Thunder Talisman doesn't seem to have this much power."
These viewers now had some understanding of talismans, after all, they had watched many military academy league live streams. But watching Meng Huai do something, an endless stream of lightning struck the Demon King.
Even the Demon King didn't know what Meng Huai had done, why he seemed to sense a lightning tribulation.
He was not unfamiliar with lightning tribulations; their demon race also had to undergo many lightning tribulations. This was an immutable rule; only by surviving a lightning tribulation could they advance further.
However, their demon race was inherently weaker against lightning, so countless members of the demon race had died in lightning tribulations.
Now, encountering a lightning tribulation here, what was going on?
The Demon King, struck by the lightning, was still pondering the situation.
