Beneath the Xuanjiang River, in the Water Court.
When the merman guarding the Water Court saw an elderly human man arrive at the entrance, his vigilance intensified.
This elderly human was exceedingly unique. Unlike those who used a Water-Repelling Pearl to part the river, he was one with the surrounding water, just like a member of the Aquatic Race.
What an incredible skill.
The merman did not consider himself ignorant, and he quickly recognized the human's formidable power.
"Who goes there?!"
he shouted.
The Human Race's Court had signed a pact with their Jue Emperor, so he couldn't just strike the man down. Otherwise, given the humans' increasingly ruthless methods, not even the Water Court could guarantee his safety.
Even if he were to act, he had to find a justifiable reason first. Humans placed great importance on having a just cause for their actions.
