Chapter 365: with translation of chapter title

Juexin finally made a choice; before the Western Continent Buddhist sect and delicious noodles, he chose to follow his heart.

Senior brother, I think we should contact Daoist friend Hong Zun first, explain the situation clearly to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding.

Jue Ming spoke up; hearing this, Jue Xin nodded and replied.

Junior brother, those are excellent words.

Saying that, Jue Xin took out the Formation Disk of Manifestation and began contacting Hong Zun.

On the other side, Hong Zun and the others had long since arrived at Jinhai Yingdi; by now they had already ventured deep into the Eastern Sea.

They had not returned the token earlier; upon seeing Hong Zun and the others again, the disciples of Baqiang Peak were all puzzled.

Peak Master Hong Zun, Peak Master of Hundred Flowers, and Elder Er, why have you come?

What are all these sect powerhouses doing coming to Jinhai Yingdi? Could it be that the sect is planning some major move again?

However, Hong Zun merely gave a casual reply.

We forgot something in the Eastern Sea; came to retrieve it, no need to worry about us.

Huh???

You forgot something else in the Eastern Sea? Just how much have you left there? Weren't you just here last time?

Under the complex gazes of several Baqiang Peak Inner Disciples, Hong Zun and the others directly deployed the formation and entered the Eastern Sea.

But for now, no trace of the water tribe could be seen near the coast; Hong Zun's group could only keep pressing deeper.

After great difficulty they finally found traces of the water tribe, yet all the water tribe Demon Kings had actually gathered in the Dragon Palace.

Forcibly storming in is clearly unsuitable, and there's no chance to capture even one.

No choice; Hong Zun and the others had to settle for second best, locking their targets onto those Demon King offspring.

The young chieftain of the Abalone Clan and the young chieftain of the Sea Cucumber Clan obviously became the primary targets.

Although their cultivation is far weaker than that of the Demon Kings, their bloodlines are not much different; they are pure-blooded Abalone and Sea Cucumber clans.

If we can't catch the old ones, we'll catch the young ones.

They split up to act; fortunately, these little fellows weren't together with their own Demon King.

Perhaps finding it boring, these little fellows continued living as they had before.

Among the Abalone Clan, several Abalone Prince offspring were gathered together, drinking and idly chatting.

The Dragon King is being overly cautious; it's been this long, what is there still to worry about?

Exactly; I see the Dao Yi Sect hasn't made any special moves lately.

Yeah, they really think this Eastern Sea is the Dao Yi Sect's backyard, that they can come and go as they please?

These little fellows scoffed at the Dao Yi Sect, but just as they were speaking, a huge hook flashed like lightning and struck; then one of the Abalone Prince offspring vanished instantly from the spot.

This sudden change left the remaining Abalone Prince offspring stunned.

What just happened?

I don't know; it seemed like a hook flew over.

A hook?

Yeah, a hook.

Damn it, Dao Yi Sect, run......

At first they hadn't reacted, but upon mentioning the hook, several Abalone Prince offspring instantly thought of the Dao Yi Sect's Hook Demon Maniac.

But before they could do anything, the hook flew over again, and another Abalone Prince offspring was snatched away.

Faced with this outcome, the other Abalone Prince offspring dared not linger; they turned and rushed toward the Dragon Palace, simultaneously sending out a distress signal.

That's about enough, let's go.

Looking at the two captured Abalone Prince offspring, Hong Zun spoke, saying that if they stayed longer, the water tribe Demon Kings would arrive.

Actually, they weren't just coming; they had already arrived. Upon receiving the distress signal, all the water tribe Demon Kings immediately mobilized, each burning with rage.

Again, the Dao Yi Sect.

Today we must kill them no matter what.

Quickly, we absolutely cannot let these guys escape.

Damn, it's truly unbearable; every few days they come once, treating our Eastern Sea as what kind of place does the Dao Yi Sect think it is?

All the Demon Kings charged out of the Dragon Palace, rushing straight toward where Hong Zun and the others were.

Meanwhile, Hong Zun's group had also successfully rendezvoused.

The Abalone Prince offspring and the Sea Cucumber Demon King offspring have been dealt with; now all that's left is a safe retreat.

Go.

Without pausing, they retreated straight toward Jinhai Yingdi, but not long after, the water tribe Demon Kings gave chase.

From afar, upon seeing Hong Zun's group, the water tribe Demon Kings' eyes turned red.

Vile humans, halt!

Kill them.

Stop!

In this pursuit and flight, the water tribe Demon Kings were truly enraged.

In the midst of the pursuit, the Formation Disk of Manifestation on Hong Zun's person suddenly lit up.

Upon connecting, it was Jue Xin.

Daoist friend Hong Zun.

Abbot Jue Xin, I have something to attend to here; I'll talk later.

Hong Zun, halt!

Release my son.

Damn humans, you can't escape today.

The roars of the many water tribe demon kings kept coming through the formation, and Juexin listened, stunned—what are they doing?

As the distance drew nearer, Qing Shi suddenly turned around, slowly swinging the large hook in his hand.

With just this simple action, the originally fierce water tribe demon kings all stopped their steps in unison in an instant.

Each one showed apprehension, looking at Qing Shi with extreme vigilance.

They all feared being hooked, for Qing Shi's hook had left a profound impact on the water tribe.

From ordinary water tribe members up to the former old dragon king, being hooked almost meant certain death—no one wanted to be the one to stick their neck out.

Just one person intimidated all the water tribe demon kings, and Hong Zun's group took the opportunity to flee without looking back.

After that, it was a chase with one side pursuing and the other fleeing; whenever Qing Shi turned back, those water tribe demon kings would instantly halt their steps, none daring to advance.

"Go up, they're just a few people—go up and stop them."

Long Aotian raged angrily, but none of the demon kings dared to go up; beside him, a Flood Dragon King coldly spoke, displeased.

"As a dragon king, shouldn't you lead the charge? Show the might of our water tribe."

Hearing this, Long Aotian's mouth twitched, and killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Leading the charge is fine, but I won't lead a suicide mission—with Qing Shi's hook, whoever goes up dies.

Thus, the demon kings chased Hong Zun's group to the Jinhai Yingdi camp, watching helplessly as Hong Zun's group entered the camp, unable to do anything.

Qing Shi's hook had indeed made the water tribe utterly terrified.

After ensuring complete safety, Hong Zun then contacted Abbot Juexin.

"What is it?"

"There is something this old monk needs to clarify with Daoist Friend Hong Zun."

"Please speak, Abbot."

"The people of the West Province Fomen have already arrived at Putuo Temple, though they have no relation to my Putuo Temple; I have established a New Fomen, willing to be on good terms with the Dao Yi Sect. To show sincerity, I am willing to hand over these West Province bald bandits to the Dao Yi Sect for disposal."

"Huh???"

Hearing Juexin's words, Hong Zun was completely bewildered—what New Fomen?

Finally, Juexin explained the whole matter of the West Province Fomen joining forces with Huling, and only then did Hong Zun understand.

"Daoist Friend Hong Zun, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with my New Fomen."
