"Shi Xiao, you're finally here." A voice came into Shi Xiao's ears.

Shi Xiao fixed his eyes and looked forward, and Zhao Xiaoqian and Yan Ruqing, who were wearing black robes, were in front.

It turned out that when Shi Xiao, Ma Xianjue and the others entered the Moon Occultation Sect, Zhao Xiaoqian and Yan Ruqing had already received the news, so they deliberately waited for Shi Xiao and the others outside the attic.

"Well, I'm on my way." Shi Xiao smiled.

Zhao Xiaoqian smiled when she heard it, and Yan Ruqing behind her also stepped forward to watch Shi Xiao carefully.

Fairy Qingyuan walked among the crowd and said to Zhao Xiaoqian and Yan Ruqing, "Sect Master has an order, let us assist Ma Lao in investigating the incident in Chaohai City."

Then she told the two of them everything that happened in Chaohai City, and Zhao Xiaoqian and Yan Ruqing were shocked when they heard it.

"Is the Ancient Demon really coming back?" Zhao Xiaoqian muttered.

Shi Xiao saw the shocked looks of the two and didn't speak.

Only when they see it with their own eyes can they really believe it, no matter how much they say Shi Xiao, it is useless.

"Ma Lao, let me ask you to come to the Moon Covering Sect to rest first. After dinner, we'll discuss the details of the investigation." Fairy Qingyuan proposed.

As the personal elder of the sect leader Nangong Zhenren, she has a very high status in the Moon Concealment Sect.

Yan Ruqing and Zhao Xiaoqian also had to obey her arrangement, originally Zhao Xiaoqian wanted to take Shi Xiao into his mansion, but he had no choice but to follow them to the attic where the guests were received.

Fairy Qingyuan led everyone forward, and came to an attic to arrange for Shi Xiao and the others to rest.

Yan Ruqing and Zhao Xiaoqian found Shi Xiao alone, and Shi Xiao couldn't refuse to invite the two into the room.

"Shi Xiao, thank you for saving my apprentice last time, as her master, I want to thank you personally." Yan Ruqing said solemnly.

Shi Xiao waved his hand and said, "No thanks, I'm also a gesture."

Seeing this, Yan Ruqing took out something from his arms and handed it to Shi Xiao, Shi Xiao looked ahead, and it turned out to be a small flying sword.

The flying sword was as thin as a cicada's wings, emitting cold light, and the blade and hilt were emerald green. It's only a meter long, but it seems to contain a huge amount of energy.

"This is a flying sword that I control myself, and I heard that you are good at flying swords. This flying sword, called Green Bamboo, will be given to you." Yan Ruqing said indifferently.

Shi Xiao just wanted to refuse after hearing this, although this flying sword was not as good as the flying sword left by Shi Potian.

But from the point of view of rank, facing Huaxia monks is also a superb flying sword.

Shi Xiao just wanted to speak and refuse, but Zhao Xiaoqian next to him said, "Shi Xiao, you just accept it." After all, you saved my life, and you deserve this flying sword."

Yan Ruqing also held the flying sword in front of Shi Xiao and motioned to accept it.

Seeing this, Shi Xiao couldn't continue to shirk, so he had to take the Cuizhu Flying Sword down.

But he didn't take the flying sword in vain, Shi Xiao took out a bottle of pill from his arms and handed it over.

"This elixir is specially used to treat internal injuries, and it can save lives in case of emergency." Shi Xiao smiled.

Zhao Xiaoqian was stunned when she saw this, but she didn't expect Shi Xiao to give her a return gift. Just when she wanted to shirk it, Shi Xiao directly put the pill into her hand.

"Okay, you don't have to shirk it. I'm good at refining elixir, and I still have a legacy."

Zhao Xiaoqian didn't shirk it after hearing it, and took the pill into her arms.

Then Shi Xiao and the two chatted for a while, then turned around and went back to the room to rest.

Zhao Xiaoqian looked at Shi Xiao's back and was distracted for a while, but Yan Ruqing next to her reminded her.

"Why, I can't bear to let people go." Yan Ruqing quipped.

Zhao Xiaoqian's face flushed slightly when she heard this, and then she said in a low voice, "Master, you need me to make a joke."

Yan Ruqing looked at Zhao Xiaoqian and smiled silently, how she didn't know her apprentice's thoughts. However, she will not easily interfere in the affairs of her apprentices.

Shi Xiao is young and promising, and his talent is extremely high, and it would not be bad if Zhao Xiaoqian really married him as an immortal cultivator.

Then Yan

Ruqing took Zhao Xiaoqian and left this place first, and let Shi Xiao go back to rest first.

Shi Xiao entered the attic, and a disciple of the Moon Occultation Sect led him back to a special room to rest. Shi Xiao simply lay on the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate, and now his cultivation realm had reached the sixth level of Qi refining perfection.

If you cultivate here, I'm afraid you will have to break through the retreat of the Moon Occultation Sect.

I don't know how long later, there was a knock on the door, and Shi Xiao suddenly opened his eyes.

"Mr. Shi, it's noon, Fairy Qingyuan invited us over for lunch." Ma Xianjue's voice came from outside.

Shi Xiao's figure flashed and appeared at the door of the room, so fast that even Ma Xian never reacted.

"Okay, I'll go over and try the food here, too." Shi Xiao smiled.

Ma Xianjue took Shi Xiao and walked outside, and Yang Ye Lonely Xuan and others were waiting outside.

Everyone came to the dining room in the attic, and after a while, many delicacies were served.

A burst of fragrant breath came to the face, and everyone couldn't help but have a great appetite after smelling it.

At this moment, Qingyuan Fairy walked in with Yan Ruqing and Zhao Xiaoqian. They wanted to take advantage of the place where they were eating to discuss the details of the investigation.

Everyone chatted while eating, and Ma Xianjue and Shi Xiao told Qingyuan Fairy and others about what they encountered on the sea.

Yan Ruqing was shocked when she heard this, and then said, "I have a conjecture about this matter."

When Shi Xiao and the others heard this, their eyes fell on Yan Ruqing, they didn't expect to have a clue so soon.

"Elder Ruqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Ma Xianjue smiled.

Yan Ruqing heard the look of reminiscence behind her, and then said, "I think they may be a merman clan."

"Sharks?!" Shi Xiao was surprised.

The Shark people are the legendary demon tribe of China, they are all women and can live in the deep sea. Has the ability to manipulate sea water and sea creatures.

"Yes, they could be mermaids. Although they are in legends, I saw them once when I was younger."

"I still remember it vividly." Yan Ruqing looked emotional when she heard it.

Subsequently, Yan Ruqing told everyone about her and the merman.

It turned out that when Yan Ru was young, she often traveled to the sea, and at that time, her cultivation was not yet at the realm of a grandmaster. Yan Ruqing followed a ship and wanted to rush to the southern region by sea.

But on the way, there was a storm, and the small ships could not withstand this storm at all.

Moreover, Yan Ruqing's cultivation realm is not high, and he can't fly in the air to escape from the ship. In the end, the ship was swept into the sea by a storm.

Human beings only feel small when facing the nature of heaven and earth, even Yan Ruqing.

She used her aura to persist in the vast sea for more than a week, but she couldn't drink water for a long time, and her body couldn't hold on for a long time.

If it weren't for the aura in his body, he would have died a long time ago.

Rao is like this, Yan Ruqing has not given up and still struggles to swim forward. I don't know how long it took, Yan Ruqing finally couldn't hold on, and his body slowly sank down.

Just as she was about to plunge into darkness, she suddenly felt her body lifted from the sea.

When she opened her eyes, she was carried into the air. The clothes on the body were also dried by the other party, and the weakness of the body was weakened a lot.

Yan Ruqing looked back, and a woman with long dark blue hair was flying into the air, carrying her forward.

"You, who are you?" Yan Ruqing hurriedly asked.

The blue-haired woman smiled indifferently when she heard this, looked at Yan Ruqing condescendingly, and said softly, "Are you already awake, I happened to pass by and saved you."

Yan Ruqing's eyes showed gratitude when she heard this, but she was immediately shocked by the face of the woman in front of her.

For no other reason, the woman had dark blue eyes like crystals. The eyebrows and eyes are dark blue, and there are fine blue markings on the forehead and cheeks.

And her teeth are small and narrow, far more numerous than ordinary people.

Yan Ruqing could see through at a glance that this blue-haired woman was not human, which couldn't help but remind her of the shark people her family told her about when she was a child.

Yan Ruqing has lived in Chaohai City near the sea for generations, and she originally didn't believe in the legend of the merman.

But I didn't expect that one day I would actually be able to meet the merman.

The merman smiled at Yan Ruqing, and then flew quickly towards land. Until Yan Ruqing could see the land, she put Yan Ruqing in the sea water and left alone.

Yan Ruqing looked at the back of the merman and couldn't calm down for a long time, although she was a monk, she couldn't help but be shocked in the face of the legendary merman.

But at present, she could not be shocked, Yan Ruqing hurriedly swam back to the land to be saved.

Later, she learned that only a few people on the ship had been rescued from the sea except for her. After that, Yan Ruqing also inquired about the news of the sharks from others.

But apart from some myths and legends, there is no more information about the merman.

Helpless, Yan Ruqing could only give up inquiring about the information of the merman clan. She just wanted to meet the merman who had saved her, but she probably didn't have that chance in this life.

Subsequently, Yan Ruqing devoted himself to cultivation, and at the age of twenty-three, he became a strong grandmaster. Later, he joined the Moon Occult Sect, broke through the Golden Light Realm after decades of cultivation, and then became the Supreme Elder of the Moon Occultation Sect.

In all these years, Yan Ruqing has never heard the information of the mermaid clan. She is the only one who knows this secret.

After listening to Yan Ruqing's words, everyone was silent, but they didn't expect that there were still sharks in Chaohai City. This may not be nothing, but decades have passed, and no one dares to guarantee that the other party is a merman.

Shi Xiao also pondered after hearing this, but he felt that this was very likely.

He had personally fought the blue-robed men, though he had not seen their true faces. But he knows their methods and aura very well, which is similar to what Yan Ruqing described.

"I didn't expect to get information about the merman after so many years." Yan Ruqing sighed.

Ma Xian couldn't help nodding slightly, this may not be nothing.

"We've heard the legend of the merman, according to our information. In the first 500 years, there were several records of fishermen seeing mermaids." Ma Xianjue responded.

Seeing this, Fairy Qingyuan turned to Yan Ruqing and said, "Elder Ruqing, do you remember where that sea area is?"
