Chapter 93: Monster Hunting Squad Changes Hands

Lord Lu Tong, hurry up!

A Monster Hunting Squad member let out a loud shout and immediately charged toward the monsters ahead.

However, before he could reach his true target, several sea eels flew out of the water and tightly entangled him.

Terrifying lightning flashed, and that Monster Hunting Squad member instantly lost the ability to resist, and was then dragged into the sea.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, Lu Tong let out a low roar and instantly shot out tens of thousands of golden arrows.

However, what made Lu Tong feel helpless was that the seemingly calm sea surface, like a huge black hole, swallowed all the golden arrows he shot, not causing the slightest ripple.

"What kind of sorcery is this, able to swallow all my attacks?"

Lu Tong had experienced such scenes many times before.

The reason the Monster Hunting Squad ended up in such a sorry state this time is that the West Sea Water Monsters opposite them, unknown what sorcery they used, actually swallowed most of their attacks.

The result of being unable to hit the target gave Lu Tong a deep sense of helplessness.

He clearly knew that there must be a very powerful great monster lurking in the dark.

The other side, for unknown reasons, had no intention of revealing itself.

Moreover, just this kind of covert tactic left Lu Tong completely at a loss.

Since its establishment, the Monster Hunting Squad had never suffered such a heavy loss, which made Lu Tong feel deep self-reproach.

"Lord Lu Tong, let's go quickly; we might not be a match for these West Sea Water Monsters!"

Two Monster Hunting Squad members guarded Lu Tong's sides, occasionally resisting the surging waves all around.

"Monster Hunting Squad, all units, retreat!"

Gritting his teeth, Lu Tong, since taking command of the Monster Hunting Squad, issued a retreat order for the first time.

"Sha Mu, should we chase?"

Watching the direction in which the Monster Hunting Squad retreated, the Sea Eel Monster slowly rose from the water.

"No need, Holy Dragon has ordered that we only need to defeat the Monster Hunting Squad, not annihilate it."

Sha Mu shook her head and said.

"Heh, it turns out the Monster Hunting Squad only has this much strength; I was actually afraid of them before!"

The Sea Clam Monster poked a small head out of its shell, laughing as it spoke.

"This is also thanks to Holy Dragon helping us increase our strength, and Ao Yun's Rending Sky Claw; otherwise, wanting to surpass the Monster Hunting Squad would not be so easy."

At this moment, the Flood Shark Monster stepped onto the waves and came forward.

The main force in this battle against the Monster Hunting Squad was still her subordinates, the water monsters, and only through this fight did she truly realize that she had grown stronger.

And the Flood Shark Monster never forgot who brought all this about.

If it weren't for Holy Dragon, they might still be suppressed as monsters in the Sea Bottom Purgatory; how could they be as mighty as they are now?

"Alright, let's withdraw too; this mission is only to defeat the Monster Hunting Squad, not to truly expose our existence!"

Sha Mu reminded everyone and said.

Everyone nodded and then led their respective monster subordinates back into the deep sea.

……

Monster Hunting Squad, defeated!

Since its establishment, the Monster Hunting Squad has always been the most imposing presence in the entire Jade Void Palace.

Every time they returned victorious, it was like a military parade, displaying their strength to all disciples of the Jade Void Palace.

That scene was truly mighty!

However, when the Monster Hunting Squad returned today, every member was injured.

From the dejected looks on the faces of the Monster Hunting Squad members, one could see how embarrassed they were this time.

Faced with the pointing fingers of the Jade Void Palace disciples all around, Lu Tong felt a deep sense of self-reproach.

After all, when Shen Gongbao once brought the Monster Hunting Squad, it had never suffered a defeat.

And as the Captain of the Monster Hunting Squad, he obviously bears responsibility for this defeat.

"Lu Tong, come see me!"

Suddenly, above the Jade Void Palace, countless clouds gathered, taking the form of the Boundless Immortal.

"Yes, Master!"

All the Monster Hunting Squad members felt a jolt in their hearts, all looking worriedly at Lu Tong.

They did not know what punishment Lu Tong would receive for this failure.

And then, one day later, the Boundless Immortal suddenly announced that Lu Tong would be removed from his post as Captain of the Monster Hunting Squad and would go into secluded cultivation.

As for the Monster Hunting Squad, it will be led by He Tong, who has just broken through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!

This news instantly lifted the spirits of the previously dispirited Monster Hunting Squad, making them energetic beyond measure.

You should know that the original Lu Tong had only reached the peak of early-stage Golden Immortal cultivation, not even reaching mid-stage Golden Immortal.

However, no one expected that He Tong, after emerging from seclusion, would actually break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.

Although Golden Immortal and Taiyi Golden Immortal differ by only one major realm, the difference in their strength is as vast as heaven and earth!

Everyone believes that under He Tong's leadership, the Monster Hunting Squad will surely regain its former glory.

And just as everyone expected, as soon as He Tong took command of the Monster Hunting Squad and deployed for the first time, they completely wiped out the West Sea Water Monsters that had defeated the Monster Hunting Squad.

Moreover, they even captured two great monsters at the peak of Mysterious Immortal cultivation!

Such achievements instantly wiped away the previous disgrace of the Monster Hunting Squad.

At the same time, this further solidified He Tong's position as Captain of the Monster Hunting Squad.

After completing the handover of duties, He Tong returned to his Crane Nest.

Geez, I have no interest in the Monster Hunting Squad's mission at all.

Lying in Ao Yifan's arms, He Tong complained.

There's no way; right now only you can help me.

Control the Monster Hunting Squad, help me sweep clean those monster clans that refuse to obey, forcing the rest to submit to me; only then can I quickly consolidate my strength and build a power that can establish itself in this world.

After all, you don't want Xiao Xiao He and Xiao He Mei to never be able to openly call you 'mother,' do you?

Hearing that, He Tong glanced at Xiao Xiao He and Xiao He Mei playing with the Twelve-Grade Heaven-Earth Affinity Ball, and said softly: "Fine, for the kids' sake, I'll help you control the Monster Hunting Squad—but your news had better not go wrong; I don't want to end up as badly defeated as Lu Tong."

Don't worry, you're my woman—I couldn't bear to see you hurt.

Ao Yifan said softly.

Hearing that, He Tong's cheeks flushed slightly, then she told Xiao Xiao He and Xiao He Mei: "Xiao Xiao He, Xiao He Mei, play for another two hours, then come back to eat."

Got it, Mom!

Xiao Xiao He, unsuspecting, slapped her small hand, and the Twelve-Grade Heaven-Earth Affinity Ball flew off at once.

Xiao He Mei, go, pick up the ball!

Xiao Xiao He commanded.

All right, big sister!

Xiao He Mei happily fluttered her tiny wings and quickly chased after the ball.

The two sisters could never tire of this game, completely unaware that their parents had already returned home.

……

Little Aunt, what should I do? I feel like I'm about to give birth!

Princess Long Ji took Fairy Maiden Yun Hua's hand and said somewhat nervously.

Don't worry, I'm about the same; Little Aunt will keep you company!

Fairy Maiden Yun Hua said, and at the same time secretly sent a message to Ao Yifan.

After all, she didn't want Ao Yifan, the child's father, to be absent when her baby was born.
