Chapter 3006: The Vanguard in the Sea

Favor is favor, allegiance is allegiance—she distinguishes them clearly.

The Qin Hai tribe will not follow the weak.

"If you lose, I will certainly not harm your life. Any treasure in my Sea Palace, as long as you fancy it, you may take it all!" Sun Fuling only said "good," and a red light flashed on her body—her battle armor was already donned.

What she wears today happens to be a yaksha mask.

As expected, she was not mistaken—persuading these sea tribes with thousands of words is no match for speaking with strength.

Oh? The yellow-clad little miss has become the "Red General," her aura completely different now—even Yuan Ling feels a hint of threat. She grows interested, and with a flick, she brandishes her halberd:

"Come, come, come—let me test the strength of mortals..."

I haven't fought with land immortals in many years—my hands are itching!

But before she finished speaking, the figure before her flickered slightly, and a spear tip, blazing with Lei Ting, thrust toward her brow.

Though still half a zhang away, Yuan Ling's Yintang felt a sharp pain!

She raised her halberd to block, yet felt a vast, immense force transmitted from the opponent's long spear.

So strong!

An expert extends a hand—immediately knows whether there is skill or not.

Half an incense stick later.

Though the tide had not yet begun to rise, Fire Coral Island had already lost half its land. That signature fire coral barely remained—also diminished by half.

This is still the two of them deliberately holding back in battle; otherwise, there would be no foothold for them at sea.

With a soft "swish," the Sea Emperor Halberd traced a short arc in midair and plunged into the beach.

Coincidentally, it landed almost exactly where Sun Fuling had planted her halberd earlier.

The setting sun focused on the tip of the Thunderbolt Spear—only half a finger's length from Yuan Ling's throat.

The Yaksha King gasped, her skin prickling with gooseflesh from the spear tip's icy killing intent, yet she dared not move a muscle.

She had already been locked by the opponent's qi mechanism—the Red General could take her life at any moment.

Around the sea, many yakshas surfaced, encircling the island, their eyes filled with disbelief.

The mighty, unparalleled clan chief... defeated?

Actually defeated by a human!

The commotion of their battle drew the entire Yaksha tribe to watch, but they could not interfere in the duel, nor dare to approach now, fearing they might harm the clan chief's life.

After the scene froze for ten breaths, the Red General spoke, her voice like still water:

"You lost."

Having said that, she put away the Thunderbolt Spear.

The opponent's killing intent dissipated; Yuan Ling closed her eyes and exhaled deeply.

The sea cannot be measured—how did she fall again into this old habit of judging by appearance?

She lost so thoroughly, and in front of her clansmen—there's nothing left to argue about.

"No wonder you're the Red General. These thousands of tribespeople are witnesses—from now on, the Qin Hai tribe will follow your lead alone!"

Having said that, Yuan Ling embraced her halberd and bowed her head in salute to the Red General, and the surrounding Qin Hai yaksha tribespeople also bowed together.

"No need for formalities." The Red General's mind stirred, and her battle armor and Thunderbolt Spear were retracted once more: "The Yaksha King did not fight me in the water; otherwise, we would still have a score to settle."

The Yaksha King's attack power is strongest in the sea—she could have sunk the entire small island, forcing the Red General to fight her in the water.

But she does not intend to fight to the death; this battle was merely a test.

The Red General's offer, the Yaksha King accepted gladly, and her complexion improved greatly.

"Not long ago, I heard Xuan Du still brought the Heavenly Demons to trouble you?"

"He wanted to capture my tribe and use them as vessels for the Heavenly Demons' descent!" Mentioning Xuan Du, the Yaksha King's tone turned harsh, "He even gathered two great Heavenly Demons to deal with me. Though he failed, he left me a reminder."

She turned and lifted the back of her robe—there was a circular wound on her lower back, the flesh new and tender, clearly just healed: "The Heavenly Demons' power is troublesome—it cannot be fully expelled for months."

Yes, though some have four arms, some an extra fish tail, but yakshas are basically humanoid, and individually strong. It's no wonder the Heavenly Demons set their sights on them, wanting to seize their bodies as vessels.

"No problem—after joining Cang Yan, you will enjoy Yuan Li." Sun Fuling told her, "Yuan Li is remarkably effective against so-called divine powers and abilities."

"But we are far from Cang Yan's territory." Though most of the time she dwells in the deep sea, Yuan Ling had long heard of Yuan Li and had always envied it greatly.

Never did she imagine that one day she and her tribe could also enjoy it.

Sun Fuling smiled: "Do you still know the former restrictions of Yuan Li?"

"I occasionally go ashore, to walk the coastal realms." Yuan Ling said with a dark face, "But when humans see me, they only scream and flee, and soon officials and troops arrive—very troublesome."

Her appearance is indeed too terrifying—seeing her at night is a nightmare, by day it's a daytime nightmare.

By the sea, yakshas eating people is nothing unusual. Fishermen see her—who isn't afraid?

Sun Fuling then took something from her bosom, threw it to her, and said:

"Take this—carry it with you when you go ashore, and no one will fear you anymore."

Yuan Ling took it in her hand and looked—this object resembles a seashell and also a horn, covered in fine spiral patterns. Though light in weight, the magic power fluctuations attached to it are strong.

"What is this?"

"It's a Mirage Horn—you can use it to change your appearance."

Yuan Ling overjoyed: "This is the Mirage Horn?!"

Before, she had sent Xuan Du to find the Thousand Illusions True Person, but failed to obtain the Mirage Horn!

She laughed until she couldn't close her mouth. Sun Fuling felt she seemed even happier than when she obtained the Sea Emperor Halberd.

"Would the Red General be willing to visit my Sea Palace as a guest?" Yuan Ling immediately extended the invitation, "Though my place lacks dragon liver and phoenix marrow, human-favored marine treasures are not lacking."

"Not for fiery cooking, is it?"

Yuan Ling laughed heartily: "We don't use fire, but the seabed has volcanoes and boiling waters—like fish-lung liver and mermaid meat, which can be slow-cooked at low heat, tasting fresh and delicious."

"Understood—I'll definitely come next time. I still need to return westward; time is pressing." Sun Fuling casually summoned a green bird, "Yaksha King, prepare your tribe for relocation."

"Where is the destination?" Yuan Ling also spoke directly, "We will move within two days, just tell us the meeting point." "The southernmost end of Shen State, Bai Sha."

"I will also bring two more sea clans with me!"

"That's an unexpected delight." Sun Fuling leapt onto the bird's back, the green bird rode the wind and rose, soon only her voice came from the horizon, "Bai Sha, see!" Yuan Ling watched her disappear into the distance, then said to the clanspeople: "All return to pack, we are relocating the entire clan!"

The clanspeople responded by diving into the seawater.

Yuan Ling did not rush into the sea, but stayed on the tidal island, gripping the horn of the mirage and repeatedly testing.

Transform!

Her face changed into that of a human woman, with faint golden runes on her face.

No, it doesn't match beauty at all.

She recalled Sun Fuling's appearance, indeed women need to be fairer to be beautiful.

Transform again!

This time her skin turned white, no longer dark and dull, but her face still seemed somewhat square, and her eyes were not quite right?

Again, again transform!
