Then everyone realized what was happening and glared at Lin Jiu'an, shouting, "Please, Lord Coral Palace, behead this man..."
The words have not yet fallen.
Suddenly, a streak of blue light flashed by.
Subsequently.
All the people heard was a 'splat' sound like flesh being torn apart, a miserable wail, and the sound of chunks of flesh falling to the ground.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a hand with its index finger pointing forward lying on the ground, the cut at the wrist smooth and clean.
Following the screams, they saw the rebel leader who had just stood up and pointed at Lin Jiu'an now clutching his severed hand, lying on the ground and wailing pitifully.
"I forgot to mention."
Everyone looked in horror at Lin Jiu'an, who was still sitting there without moving, a faint smile still on his face.
"I hate it when people point fingers at me."
The council chamber fell into a deathly silence.
No one made a move; everything had happened so fast that they didn't even know how Lin Jiu'an had cut off the man's hand.
Everyone turned their expectant gazes to Coral Palace Heart Sea, hoping she would order the arrest and execution of this person.
But Coral Palace and Heart Sea disappointed them.
Faced with the eager gazes of the crowd, Coral Palace Xin Hai stammered, and finally lowered her head, remaining silent like an ostrich.
"It seems like everyone's a bit too calm."
"How about this."
"We've covered most of the details. Now everyone should go back and get some rest. We'll come back in a few days to discuss things further."
Hearing Lin Jiu'an's words, everyone remained motionless, still looking at the Coral Palace Heart Sea.
Coral Palace Xin Hai finally raised her head and stammered, "Just as Mr. Lin said, everyone should go back and rest first."
Everyone stared at Coral Palace Xin Hai with disbelief in their eyes; they couldn't believe this was the Coral Palace Xin Hai they knew.
Some people wanted to say something, but seeing the resistance general clutching his severed hand and groaning, and Lin Jiu'an sitting by the Heart Sea of Coral Palace with a calm and collected smile, they ultimately suppressed their anger and left one by one with clenched fists.
······
After leaving the council hall and the Coral Palace.
Instead of scattering, the priestess and the rebel leaders went outside to talk, as if by unspoken agreement.
"Lord Coral Palace has been controlled by that guy!"
Some people said.
"I think it might be the suggestion from Inazuma's side that appealed to her."
Some people sneered and said sarcastically, "After all, that's the Fourth Commissioner. The Third Commissioner has been tyrannical in Inazuma for so long, living a life of luxury, and General Raiden only sides with them, not treating the common people like human beings."
"It's normal for Lady Coral Palace to be interested in joining."
Just as the argument was escalating, an elderly priestess stood up.
"No matter what, we will never submit to the Inazuma Shogunate!"
"That's right!"
"The lackeys of the Inazuma Shogunate, especially the three magistrates, all deserve to die!"
"Even if every last drop of blood is shed on Umijima Island, we will never yield to the lackeys of the Inazuma Shogunate!"
"In that case."
"Then let's kill that lackey of the Inazuma Shogunate!"
"This expresses our determination to rather die a glorious death than live a shameful life, and to never submit to the Inazuma Shogunate!"
"What about the Coral Palace Heart Sea?"
Some questioned, "Will she still be worthy of being our 'human-god-priestess'?"
These words silenced even the priestesses.
Indeed, regardless of whether Coral Palace Heart Sea was threatened or swayed by interests, her actions have already abandoned her faith in Orobas, and she is no longer worthy of being the "Living Goddess of the Coral Palace".
"At worst, we can just get a different 'human goddess priestess'!"

late at night.
The Coral Palace is the residence of the Heart Sea.
After the fruitless meeting, Coral Palace Heart Sea returned to her residence, exhausted.
With the man she both loved and feared.
"Woo?"
Coral Palace Xin Hai sat on the "wooden horse" with unusually thick "spiky" spikes. Her originally fair face was flushed, her pearly teeth were tightly biting her lower lip, her beautiful eyes were glazed, and her two small hands tightly covered her mouth.
Coral Palace Heart Sea had never experienced such a feeling before.
Whether in a past life or this life.
She was always that aloof and pure "human god priestess," even the only man she had feelings for was infatuated with another woman, and they eventually became strangers because of some things.
But now.
Coral Palace Heart Sea felt as if she were an ornamental fish kept in a fish tank, and the oxygen in the sealed fish tank was about to run out, which made her very painful.
"Don't you want to make a sound?"
The man's voice was like the murmur of a demon from the abyss.
next moment.
Coral Palace Xin Hai felt as if her neck was being choked.
The feeling of suffocation caused her unbearable pain. Her legs were tightly clamped together, her small hands hung limply at her sides, her delicate, rosy tongue protruded weakly, and her body began to convulse intermittently...
Just as her mind went blank and she was about to suffocate,
The man released his grip.
It was as if a fish that was about to die of drought had been thrown back into a fish tank full of water. The water in the fish tank immediately sprayed out and fell on the delicate plum blossoms.
The fish, which had almost drowned, sank helplessly to the bottom of the tank.
Lying on Lin Jiu'an's firm chest, Coral Palace Xin Hai's pupils were unfocused, her cherry lips were slightly parted, and she was panting heavily. Her face, which was full of crimson and satisfaction, was adorned with a silly smile.
fair enough.
Coral Palace Heart Sea's mind went completely blank.
The extreme joy and exhaustion left her with no ability to think about those troubling things.
"Lord Coral Palace".
Sudden.
Goro's voice came from outside the window.
Coral Palace Xin Hai's body trembled suddenly, and her unfocused beautiful eyes regained their brilliance.
Looking out the window, there was a figure with dog ears on its head.
Coral Palace Xin Hai didn't want to speak, not wanting outsiders to see her in this shameful state, so she covered her mouth again and pitifully shook her head at Lin Jiu'an.
It's unclear whether she was explaining to Lin Jiu'an that she and Wu Lang had no relationship, or begging him not to reveal their relationship.
However, Goro outside the window did not want to give up, his tone filled with anxiety.
"Lord Coral Palace, I have something very important to report to you."
Coral Palace Xin Hai was almost in tears, especially when she saw Lin Jiu An's slightly upturned lips.
"Goro."
I could hear that familiar sound outside.
Looking at Coral Palace Heart Sea lying in his arms, only wrapped in a pair of white stockings, Lin Jiu'an smiled rather happily.
He and Goro were considered 'old friends'.
In a sense, Goro was also one of his 'generals' in his previous life.
The two had a good relationship when they were fighting against the Tianling Enforcer.
pity.
Later, after he implemented a series of reforms in Inazuma and joined the Inazuma Shogunate.
The Coral Palace Heart Sea was rendered meaningless.
He was expelled from Umijima Island and returned to Inazuma, where he became a "wanted criminal".
And as a real "dog".
Goro possesses a keen sense of smell and strong intuition.
They naturally became an important member of his tracking team, and many times when he hid deep in the mountains, they were found by his dog-like nose.
And the most important thing is...
Lin Jiu'an still vividly remembers what Goro said to him when they faced each other: "I'm sorry, it's all for Lord Coral Palace."
Sensing something, Coral Palace Heart Sea trembled and shook her head pitifully at Lin Jiu'an.
"Master Coral Palace?"
Goro called out anxiously again.
this time.
His calls finally had an effect; the rustling sound of clothes being put on could be clearly heard inside the house.
Then, a figure was seen approaching the window.
Looking at the obviously thicker figure, Goro was a little puzzled. But in just a moment, the candlelight in the room was extinguished, and he could no longer see the figure inside through the window.
Then came the sound of footsteps approaching the window.
The window was opened a crack, and Coral Palace Heart Sea's head peeked out.
"Goro?"
"You... what do you want from me?"
Looking at Coral Palace Xin Hai's noticeably rosy face, her flustered eyes, and her cheeks covered in fragrant sweat.
Especially when she suddenly bit her lower lip as she was talking, as if she was enduring something, and looked pained, Goro became a little anxious.
"Lord Coral Palace, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"N-nothing, I just... caught a chill..."
Coral Palace Heart Sea coughed twice and forced a smile, "I'm a little sleepy. If there's nothing urgent, let's talk about it tomorrow... Ah?!"
"Lord Coral Palace? What's wrong?!"
Goro became even more anxious.
In particular, he vaguely heard some strange noises.
Although he couldn't understand it, his intuition told him that it was definitely not a good thing. Goro even felt a heartbreaking sense that something most important to him was getting further and further away from him.
"I already said I'm fine. If you have something to say, just say so. If not, you can go back... Huh?!!"
The volume of the Coral Palace Heart Sea increased slightly.
Goro was stunned. Coral Palace Heart Sea was always gentle and kind, never showing such obvious impatience as today, and the strange scream at the end left him completely at a loss.
But soon.
A faint smell wafted out through the cracks in the window.
Goro's pupils immediately contracted.
Looking at Coral Palace Heart Sea, whose face was flushed and who was clearly biting her lip to endure something that was causing her great 'pain', Goro immediately understood everything!
