The sea dragon's mouth moved slightly, uttering human speech.

Huang Yelin and the Blue Ring King watched the sea dragon's figure and silently stepped back, leaving the issue to the mermaid tribe to resolve on their own; they didn't want to interfere.

Hai Yuling didn't believe what he said; who knew if the form he revealed was real or not, as Hai Yuling couldn't be sure since this wasn't the opponent's true form.

Her soul power burst forth, and the seemingly massive body of the sea dragon was instantly squeezed into a ball by Hai Yuling's formidable soul power.

"Just you wait! The Sea Dragon Race will eventually unify the sea tribes, and humanity will fall under the Sea Dragon Race's feet, the Sea Dragon Race will once again unify the world."

The sea dragon, compressed into a ball, continued speaking, its crushed and compacted body seemingly unaffected.

Boom!

The sea dragon self-destructed, breaking free of Hai Yuling's soul power constraints.

Hai Yuling's eyes narrowed as her soul power quickly swept out, and Huang Yelin's soul power simultaneously swept out, annihilating the strands of split minds trying to escape.

In a palace somewhere under the sea, a figure opened their eyes, carefully sensing the loss of their split minds before closing them again.

"Lost a third of the split minds, and still couldn't conquer Yunhai City; this time was a bit of a failure. The mad shark was too useless, unable to even take Yunhai City."

When the identity of the deep-sea envoy was exposed, the mad shark had already left the battlefield of Yunhai City with its trusted subordinates, and Huang Yelin couldn't find its trail even when rushing back to intercept.

The arrival of the true deep-sea envoy marked the end of the battle for Yunhai City.

The original cause of the war was Hai Wei, and now that Hai Wei had returned to her people, the sea tribes naturally had no reason to continue attacking Yunhai City.

Moreover, the Blue Ring King never wanted to start a war; it preferred to be the King of the Shallow Sea living leisurely. While other shallow sea kings were desperately expanding their territories, the Blue Ring King remained in the waters around Yunhai City, never expanding its territory.

Hai Yuling held Hai Wei, carefully examining her once over. After finding no harm, she turned to Lu Yu.

"Thank you for taking care of Hai Wei during this time."

Hai Wei had already told Hai Yuling about her situation, and upon learning she was being publicly auctioned, Hai Yuling grew furious, wanting to kill all the humans who attended the auction. The dignity of the royal family cannot be desecrated.

Upon learning that Lu Yu had taken care of Hai Wei during this time, preventing her from falling into an embarrassing situation, Hai Yuling sincerely thanked him.

As a punishment to humans, when Huang Yelin requested her to end the war, Hai Yuling delayed before agreeing.

Huang Yelin was dissatisfied with Hai Yuling's delay because every extra minute of war brought more casualties to his students and clansmen.

However, when Hai Yuling finally decided to end the war, Huang Yelin still expressed his respect.

Currently, the sea tribes were in an advantageous position; just Hai Yuling alone could handle three Void Split Realm cultivators from Yunhai Academy, and the Blue Ring King was a powerful expert in ranged attacks within the Void Split Realm.

As long as Hai Yuling held back three people, the Blue Ring King could, in a short time, slaughter all humans below the Core Formation Realm, leaving Yunhai City an empty and dead city.

Hai Yuling placed Hai Wei on top of a deep-sea giant whale's head, Hai Wei lay on the whale's head, greeting it, "Little Blue, long time no see, did you miss me?"

The deep-sea giant whale emitted a low sound, indicating it missed her very much.

The deep-sea giant whale belongs to the deep-sea behemoth race, and despite having strength comparable to the Demon King Realm, it is difficult for it to take human form. Only a very few high-level deep-sea behemoths have the ability to transform.

Little Blue is a young deep-sea giant whale, now just 666 years old, unable to speak overly complex languages.

Despite its power, the growth cycle of the deep-sea giant whale is very slow, taking nearly tens of thousands of years to reach adulthood.

Hai Yuling looked at Lu Yu and said, "As gratitude, I'll give you this—the Eye of the Sea, a token of the sea royal family. With the Eye of the Sea, ocean creatures will not actively attack you in the sea."

A deep blue ocean gemstone lay in Hai Yuling's palm, the Eye of the Sea floated up and drifted toward Lu Yu, who caught it.

Hai Yuling looked at Lu Yu and said, "If you choose to give up the power in your pupils and merge the Eye of the Sea into them, you can gain control over the sea."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu was slightly stunned, then realized she was referring to his Inferno Demon Pupils.

"Alright, Hai Wei, you've been out for too long, and Father is worried. Let's hurry back." Hai Yuling gently pulled Hai Wei up.

Hai Wei looked at Lu Yu and handed the Illusionary Treasure Pearl back to him.

Lu Yu didn't take it and said, "You can have it."

Hai Wei happily put away the Illusionary Treasure Pearl and said, "Would you like to come back to the deep sea with me? I'll take you to my home to play."

Lu Yu shook his head and said, "There's no time now, maybe in the future when there's a chance. Anyway, with the Eye of the Sea and your scale, I can come find you anytime."

"Alright then, remember to visit me."

Upon hearing this, Hai Yuling noticed a missing scale on Hai Wei's tail; she intended to ask Lu Yu to return it, but seeing Hai Wei's disappointed face, she didn't say anything.

As for Lu Yu's words about being able to find Hai Wei anytime, Hai Yuling didn't take it seriously. Even with the Eye of the Sea and a scale pointing to Hai Wei, it was difficult for a Martial Cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm to enter the deep sea at will.

Not to mention the dangers of the deep sea, the vast distances alone would exhaust Lu Yu.

While the Eye of the Sea can elicit goodwill from ocean creatures, at most, it prevents those without malicious or deadly intent from attacking Lu Yu. If he encounters bloodthirsty and fierce ocean races, they would still attack.

For example, the Sea Dragon Race and the Naga Race would not care about the royal significance of the Eye of the Sea, instead seeing the slaying of its holder as an honor.

"Let's go." Hai Yuling tapped the deep-sea giant whale Little Blue underfoot. The deep-sea giant whale turned and swam toward the ocean's depths, gradually descending and disappearing from Lu Yu's sight.
