Chapter 3005
It raised its head to look at the azure bird in midair, voice like thunder: "Who are you, and how dare you come to Qin Hai to cause trouble?"
The azure bird flew low, slowly flapping its wings in the air. Sun Fuling's voice also reached the giant's ears, neither hurried nor slow:
"General Hong of Cangyan, invited to come!"
She announced her affiliation with unusual cheerfulness, while the giant was startled, yellow light shooting from his eyes.
Panlongcheng and the Red General appeared out of nowhere, their fame having spread even to the deep sea. But this girl before him looked delicate and graceful, easily blown over by a single breath, yet she dared to call herself the Red General?
If she is the Red General, then how does the Red General fight in battle?
"Are you the Qin Hai Yaksha King?" Sun Fuling added, "I disturbed your sea domain, sorry, but I couldn't find you."
The sea is vast; without this method, she also couldn't find the Qin Hai Yaksha King.
"All of you, retreat." The Qin Hai Yaksha King waved his hand backward, and his clansmen vanished into the sea.
Its anger had subsided, it took two steps forward, and its form rapidly shrank.
After two breaths, it had become the height of a normal woman.
"Come down." Its voice also returned to a low female tone.
The azure bird flew low, Sun Fuling lightly leapt, and landed on the Fire Coral Island, facing the Qin Hai Yaksha King directly.
She knew the Qin Hai Yaksha King's true name was Yuan Ling.
"Are you the Red General?" The Yaksha King examined her up and down; this maiden in pale yellow plain clothes seemed ready to feather and ascend with a breeze. In the Yaksha King's impression, "generals" usually didn't look like this? "Not at all!"
Sun Fuling smiled: "Have you ever seen the Red General before?"
Of course not. Two hundred years ago, Panlongcheng was not by the sea, and the Yaksha King never came ashore.
Sun Fuling drew the Sea Emperor's Halberd, planting it firmly in the sand: "Today, as promised, I return it to its rightful owner."
Yuan Ling stared at it for two breaths before reaching out to pull it free.
The moment he grasped it, the Sea Emperor's Halberd let out a long, resonant "hum," audible for ten li.
Even Sun Fuling could hear its joy.
"Truly sorry to have kept you in that scoundrel's hands for four thousand years!" Yuan Ling gripped the long halberd, flourished two halberd flowers, movements practiced. Each halberd's fore-aft counterweight differed, making it hard for a novice to hold steady, unlike her wielding it as if an extension of her arm.
"This was originally the heirloom treasure of my Qin Hai Yaksha clan; as my dowry, it was taken by Xuandu in error." He gently stroked the halberd shaft, "Had you not killed Xuandu, this precious halberd could not have returned to my clan."
He spoke solemnly: "The news of Xuandu's death spread to Qin Hai, and my clan rejoiced. You killed that demon-weed nurtured thing, which was a great help to me! You also brought the Sea Emperor's Halberd all this way—state your conditions, and if the Qin Hai clan can fulfill them, we will certainly not be stingy!"
The Qin Hai Yaksha King's temperament was indeed straightforward. Sun Fuling also got straight to the point:
"Good, then I will say it plainly. I have come today hoping the Qin Hai Yaksha clan will join forces with Cangyan to jointly resist the heavenly demons."
The Sea Emperor Xuandu colluded with the heavenly demons, ambushed He Lingchuan in the Kunlong Abyss battle, but was instead lured by him into the Great Fang Vase and devoured by Hundun. This experience, outsiders naturally do not know; they only know that the Nine Abysses Great Emperor and the Red General killed Sea Emperor Xuandu.
Not long after this news spread in the world, Cangyan received a message from the Qin Hai Yaksha clan, hoping to express gratitude to the Nine Abysses Great Emperor and the Red General, and willing to repurchase their clan's supreme treasure from Cangyan.
The world is so vast; the tribes in the sea are certainly not limited to just Xuandu's faction.
Cangyan's business spans the world; long aware that the Qin Hai south of Bei Jia houses a Yaksha tribe, whose chieftain Yuan Ling was once the original consort of Sea Emperor Xuandu. Nor do they know how this couple became estranged, after all, it is an ancient affair from thousands of years ago, occurring in the deep sea. Anyway, the Qin Hai clan and Xuandu's Xihai clan have long been mortal enemies, fighting for life and death for over two thousand years.
Originally, the two sides were evenly matched, but after Xuandu colluded with the heavenly demons, the Xihai clan grew strong and began suppressing the Qin Hai clan.
Sun Fuling's invitation to the Qin Hai clan to jointly resist the heavenly demons is not without basis.
In the past, sea tribes rarely intervened in land affairs, nor did they deeply participate in the ancient great war, but due to Sea Emperor Xuandu's fault, the Qin Hai clan has recently accumulated grudges against the heavenly demons. He Lingchuan thus feels this is a good opportunity.
Over the past thousands of years, although the human realm has thin spiritual energy, the deep sea has never lacked colossal beings. The Qin Hai Yaksha clan not only has Yuan Ling at true immortal level, but its clansmen also possess powerful mighty ones; otherwise, how could the Qin Hai clan have stood against Xuandu's Xihai clan for thousands of years?
The great calamity in the human realm approaches; He Lingchuan naturally hopes this powerful tribe can also contribute their share.
"Heavenly demons?" Yuan Ling gave a long hum, appearing thoughtful, "I heard they will soon return to the human realm?"
"Actually, a portion of the great heavenly demons and heavenly demons as vanguard have already infiltrated the human realm. The leaders of the Kunlong Abyss battle, Jia Lou Tian and others, are truly descended gods." Sun Fuling spoke frankly, "We already have countermeasures, but the great heavenly demons of the heavenly realm far outnumber the true immortals of the land; in top-tier strength, the human realm is at a disadvantage."
"True immortals of the land? Those old things on Ling Mountain—do they also need to participate?"
"Ling Mountain will exert all its efforts."
Yuan Ling snorted: "I don't really trust them. Qianhuan True Person, as one of Ling Mountain's steering figures, once exchanged glances with Xuandu. Thousands of years ago, before I fell out with Xuandu, I once had him ask Qianhuan for a horn of a clam, but he couldn't even manage this small matter!"
Sun Fuling pressed her temples. Indeed, Qianhuan True Person's true form is a clam dragon, essentially a giant sea clam, strictly speaking also a sea tribe. Knowing Xuandu is not strange at all.
"In ancient times, under the leadership of the Black Dragon God Sovereign, the assembly of immortals was the main force resisting heavenly demons; now heavenly demons seek to invade again, Ling Mountain bears the brunt and must rise to resist." Sun Fuling continued, "We have long had an offensive-defensive agreement with Xiao Hanzi, to mutually assist and advance and retreat together. But after Qianhuan True Person's fall, our side lacks a powerful sea tribe."
"My clan also hates heavenly demons!" Yuan Ling stretched lazily, arms crossed overhead pulling hard, emitting a few crisp bone cracks, "But this matter is of great importance; if we rashly join the war and you ultimately lose, would not my Qin Hai Yaksha clan face extermination?"
Sun Fuling raised her elegant brows: "Before the great war begins, who can predict victory or defeat?"
"But I need to first test the strength of our future comrades-in-arms." Yuan Ling gave a hehe laugh, "If you are too weak, facing heavenly demons would be merely serving as fodder; my clan has no need to assist."
Sun Fuling gave a faint smile. She had long noticed this mother Yaksha's gaze toward her was off; turns out she was waiting here.
"In other words, if I defeat you, the Qin Hai clan will join the war?"
Yuan Ling reached out to summon the Sea Emperor's Halberd, the setting sun casting a chilling light on its tip: "You killed Xuandu and returned this precious halberd to my clan—this is a kindness. If you defeat me, the Qin Hai clan will henceforth follow you through fire and water!"
