Chapter 995: Zhenhai Flowing Waves, Sea-Patrolling Yaksha

Zhenhai City!

A majestic war city standing at the estuary on the shores of the East Sea, built specifically to resist the invasion of coastal demon beasts.

It was not built relying on elegant and winding mountain terrain, but was cast with the coldest, heavy black-sinking rock, combined with volcanic magma that erupted all year round on the Tiannan continent.

The city wall was like an ancient dragon spine, stretching for hundreds of miles, with no beginning or end, forcibly snatching a foothold from the fierce sea area!

The height of the city wall was such that looking up made one feel like their neck would break. On it were placed Tianyuan spiritual energy cannons, their muzzles pitch-black, as if they could destroy everything.

And below were nine huge gates, named Zhenhai Gates. Each one was over dozens of feet thick, covered with rough, ferocious barbs and dangerous formation light. These Zhenhai Gates were layered, not only protecting Zhenhai City tightly but also blocking a large number of low-level sea demons from flowing backward from the estuary into the interior.

Luo Chen, who had been drinking all night, walked through the gates of Zhenhai City, watching the Zhenhai Gates rise and fall to let them pass, his heart filled with shock.

The Second Senior Brother Fu Bin beside him couldn't help but smile, "Junior Brother seems very shocked?"

Accustomed to large cities in the interior dominated by gorgeous, elegant, and simple styles, facing the ferocious Zhenhai City, which was like a war beast, Luo Chen truly couldn't hide his shock.

He exclaimed, "Truly a majestic city! It is completely different from the elegant style of our Tianyuan Dao Sect!"

"Then Junior Brother, you are wrong." Fu Bin laughed loudly and said with emotion, "Three thousand years ago, our Tianyuan Dao Sect was the only Soul Transformation sacred land in the five continents of the world that cleared out demon beasts. Three thousand years later, our Tianyuan Dao Sect has even conquered the four continents and unified the mountains and seas. When it comes to valuing martial arts and talking about iron-bloodedness, who in the world can compare to our Tianyuan Dao Sect?"

Every sentence was "our Tianyuan Dao Sect," and his words were full of pride and reverence.

Not only Luo Chen, but even the group of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators beside him were infected one after another.

"How magnificent is our Tianyuan!"

They were also disciples of the Dao Sect!

When another gate opened, Luo Chen flew out and flew at a low altitude along the river.

He asked curiously, "Early in the morning, True Person Wen left in a hurry, and Second Senior Brother, you urgently made us go to the battlefield. Did something happen?"

The smile faded, and Fu Bin's expression became solemn.

"Something did happen. It is said that a great battle broke out in the sea area last night, and the level was extremely high, definitely at the Nascent Soul level."

As soon as these words came out, Luo Chen and the group of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators couldn't help but change their expressions.

"The fourth-tier Demon Emperor participated in the war?"

When the Tianyuan Dao Sect was at its peak, demon beasts in the sea area near the Central Plains were almost extinct, and there was no talk of any demon disaster.

But with the Central Plains catastrophe, the continent shattered into several pieces, and the demon beasts that had been silent for many years appeared one after another.

It was fine for the first few decades, mostly low-level demon beasts of the first and second tiers.

But in recent years, a large number of third-tier Demon Kings have appeared one after another.

And now, even a fourth-tier Demon Emperor has participated in the war!

How could everyone not gasp?

Fu Bin said in a deep voice, "It should be like this, otherwise True Person Wen wouldn't have left so hurriedly. Zhenhai City is guarded by him, although there are other fortress cities along the coast, Zhenhai City is definitely the most important one and must not be lost. Therefore, he must investigate the specific situation."

"And us?"

"Don't worry, Demon Emperor-level powerhouses naturally have Nascent Soul True Persons to deal with. Our purpose is to blockade other places besides the estuary and protect some formations from being destroyed."

Fu Bin explained simply, and everyone felt slightly relieved.

Rumble!

Another Zhenhai Gate opened, and the elites from the Four Imperial Halls of the Tiannan Dao Palace took the opportunity to fly over.

Fu Bin scanned the rear and said to Luo Chen, "Junior Brother, I have already assigned your squad for you. After leaving the city, you will lead them to patrol the eight-hundred-mile territory around Mount Liubo."

Luo Chen had previously looked at the coastal map and roughly knew where Mount Liubo was.

So, after matching the number, he asked about the specific mission.

"Just relying on the twenty of us?"

The Four Imperial Halls dispatched a total of four hundred Foundation Establishment True Cultivators and twenty Core Formation True Persons this time, led by Core Formation True Persons, divided into twenty large squads. Each large squad would also be divided into five small squads of four people each.

Adding it up, that made one hundred small squads.

Fu Bin shook his head, "Mount Liubo is so big, of course, it can't rely only on the twenty of you. Usually, there are cultivators from various families stationed there, and they are the real main force. And you are the mobile force; wherever an emergency occurs, you go to support."

Luo Chen suddenly realized.

This kind of arrangement is relatively much freer and also tempers the independent action ability of the Dao Palace geniuses much more than any rigid mission.

"Alright, the ninth gate will open soon, which also means we have completely left Zhenhai City. Later, while slaying demons and making contributions, don't forget to protect yourself."

After Fu Bin exhorted, he accelerated and rushed to the very front.

When the ninth gate, which was like a mountain, opened, the Dao Palace geniuses flew in all directions like meteors.

Luo Chen looked back at the ninth gate. Unlike the simple and thick gates in front, this one was covered with slippery mucus and fragments, full of the smell of blood. Clearly, these were the flesh and blood left by countless low-level demon beasts that had attacked Zhenhai City.

His gaze gradually fell on the one hundred

Foundation Establishment True Cultivators following him.

There were a few familiar faces, or rather, relatives.

Zhou Yuwei, Zhou Yuhao, Zhou Yuqi, and his cousin Lin Qingtong.

They were all disciples who had successfully reached Foundation Establishment over the years and had also become disciples of the Houtu Hall.

The Second Senior Brother assigned them to his squad, which was also convenient for him to take care of them nearby.

Facing Luo Chen's gaze, the crowd was a bit restless.

Luo Chen's lips trembled slightly, spitting out two words.

"Let's go!"

Mount Liubo, one hundred miles from the sea.

The mountain is high, clouds gather, and whenever the sea breeze blows, a large amount of clouds and mist flow, like waves.

Hence the name Mount Liubo!

Luo Chen's arrival was grandly received by the leader stationed on this mountain.

A full six Core Formation True Persons came to welcome him together. This shows the respect, and it also shows the status of the geniuses of the Tiannan Dao Palace.

The leader was a great cultivator in the late stage of Core Formation, named Jidu, from a humble family.

After grandly receiving Luo Chen, he began to introduce the specific situation of Mount Liubo.

Eight hundred miles in radius, the terrain is vast and steep.

Although it is relatively close to the sea, it is a good place that is easy to defend and hard to attack.

A total of six great Core Formation cultivators and tens of thousands of low-level cultivators guard it together.

Luo Chen listened to his introduction while observing the details of Mount Liubo.

He discovered that the cultivators here had different clothes, with different badge signs on them.

"It seems that just like my Zhou family back then, they are cultivators sent by various families on the Tiannan continent to perform sea patrol missions."

Luo Chen thought of his parents, who were also performing such missions back then and unfortunately fell.

Suddenly!

Luo Chen's footsteps stopped at the foot of the mountain, where a formation light curtain was shrouding it.

"This is?"

True Person Jidu spread his hands, "I don't know, Zhenhai City doesn't let us manage these things, just let us guard Mount Liubo well."

Luo Chen frowned, "Since it is a place we guard, how can there be an existence with an unknown background."

He reached out and touched the light curtain.

However, what he touched was exceptionally tough and hard to advance an inch.

Sebo sneered: "Ignorant, what do you mean can't transform? He just walks the path of a desolate beast, and his intelligence far exceeds ordinary fourth-tier desolate beasts. Most importantly, he was sent by that adult in the North Sea to assist us. If you don't believe him, you should believe that adult!"

Chi chi chi...

True Person Jidu beside him changed his expression slightly. As a great cultivator in the late stage of Core Formation, he actually felt a trace of danger from the young boy in front of him.

What was that black air?

Just as Luo Chen was about to break the formation, the light curtain suddenly cracked open a hole large enough for one person to pass through, and then a figure walked out.

With just one glance, he stared fiercely at the two.

"Did you not receive the order from Zhenhai City? Do not interfere with local formations, just guard it well!"

Jidu seemed to recognize the person and hurriedly said, "This Senior Brother, I'm really sorry. Fellow Daoist Luo is a newly arrived mobile support, he doesn't understand these things yet."

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows. He remembered that before leaving Zhenhai City, the Second Senior Brother briefly mentioned guarding some local formations.

Was it these?

He took a step back and put away his magic power.

"Junior Brother Luo Chen, greetings, Senior Brother!"

That person's eyes lit up, "Is it Luo Chen from the Tiannan Dao Palace?"

"Exactly!"

"So it's Junior Brother Luo, let's communicate more when we have time in the future. As for today's matter, ignorance is not a crime, just be careful in the future."

After a simple greeting, Lian Yuanshan retreated back into the formation.

The scene was cold for a while, only the formation light curtain that slowly emitted spiritual energy still existed.

"Let's go!" Jidu whispered from the side, as if afraid of disturbing the people inside.

Luo Chen nodded and followed behind.

After leaving a distance, he voiced his doubts.

"True Person Jidu, your realm is much higher than that Senior Brother Lian Yuanshan just now, why do you still respectfully call him Senior?"

True Person Jidu was helpless, "He is a direct disciple of the Dao Sect in the Lanke Mountain Range, not comparable to us ordinary family cultivators who nominally belong to the Tianyuan Dao Sect but have never entered Lanke Mountain."

Luo Chen was startled, and then he reacted.

No wonder that person's attitude changed after confirming that he was from the Tiannan Dao Palace.

The Tiannan Dao Palace also belongs to the Tianyuan Dao Sect, and the disciples of the four halls of the Dao Palace are naturally Dao Sect disciples. And geniuses like himself are more likely to enter the Lanke Mountain Range, the ancestral court of the Dao Sect, in the future and become true Dao Sect direct disciples!

That "Junior Brother Luo" was sincere and had no falsehood!

True Person Jidu changed the subject, "And, didn't you see his family badge?"

Luo Chen recalled the badge he saw in a hurry earlier, just a few wavy lines, connected together, but there was inexplicably some Dao rhyme.

This family badge...

Luo Chen reacted immediately.

On the Central Plains continent, there were thousands of large and small families, each with different family badge signs.

No one would deliberately remember all these family badges.

Only twelve family badges were recorded in the classics, and everyone would remember them in passing.

Because those twelve family badges represent the twelve giant families that have always been high above and leading the Tianyuan Dao Sect.

Twelve Giant Houses!

And the family badge with connected lines just now was one of them.

Luo Chen blurted out: "Lian Yuanshan, Lian family!"

True Person Jidu spread his hands: "Yes, it is one of the twelve giant houses, the Lian family, and it is also the family of our Dao Sect's ancestor Lian Cheng!"

No wonder True Person Jidu was so respectful and humble when facing someone whose realm was far inferior to his own.

Luo Chen looked back at the place where the formation was earlier.

His spiritual sense drilled into the depths of Mount Liubo with persistent force.

In the earth vein, lines of formation patterns were laid out inside like gullies.

The entire Mount Liubo was located in it, and even those formation patterns had a great intention to expand outward.

Luo Chen showed a thoughtful look in his eyes: "What we have to guard is probably not Mount Liubo, but these secretly arranged formations!"

On the vast sea area, the dark clouds gradually dispersed.

A majestic figure, holding a blue trident, stood on the sea, looking at the dispersing dark clouds, and roared angrily as if venting.

The surrounding sea was stimulated and suddenly exploded, like a boiling tsunami.

He looked left and right bitterly, then lowered his flag and returned to the underwater palace.

At this moment, the clam woman's singing continued, and the mermaids danced happily.

In the palace, the black dragon was still happily drinking Qianlan Ice Wine, enjoying the beautiful singing and dancing.

"Sebo, how is it, did you catch the guy who spied on you?"

Sebo put away the trident and snorted coldly, "Failed at the last step."

The black dragon raised its head, its dragon whiskers shaking, clearly very surprised.

"You are of the Sea-Patrolling Yaksha clan, in the sea, your magic power is endless. Even if you took action yourself, you didn't capture the enemy. Is that guy so powerful?"

Sebo had anger on his face, "That guy is also good at controlling water, and is a demon ghost, very slippery."

The black dragon was stunned, "Demon ghost?"

"Yes!" Sebo nodded, "She was originally a big python, but after I broke her, I found out that she was condensed from pure ghost qi, and is actually a fourth-tier Ghost Emperor. I didn't find out at first, and let her rely on the special ability of the ghost body to gather and disperse without form, luckily dodging my strongest blow."

Big python?

Ghost Emperor?

A trace of confusion flashed in the black dragon's eyes.

"The most important thing is that the old guy from Zhenhai City came out, forcing me to stop chasing that demon ghost."

Immediately, Sebo slapped the table.

"Can't wait any longer, since that old guy in Zhenhai City knows we are here, the defense will definitely be tighter, we have to act in advance!"

"Fine!" The black dragon said indifferently, "Since my master sent me here, it's also to make me contribute, you just give the order!"

Sebo took a deep breath, "Zhenhai City, it looks like the defense is tight. In fact, there is only one Nascent Soul True Person, and we have three Demon Emperors here, plus you, it's not a problem to take it down. Originally, I wanted to wait for a few more helpers, so that we could kill directly into the interior, but now we can only act in advance. Later, I will contact the other two fellow Daoists and attack Zhenhai City from three directions. You sneak over from the direction of Mount Liubo, use the body of a desolate beast to smash the nine-fold gate, so that our clan's children can rush into Zhenhai City wantonly!"

Finally, he looked at the black dragon.

"No problem, right?"

The black dragon opened its blood basin mouth, "Don't worry, a small matter!"

The dark clouds in the sky gathered and dispersed, dispersed and gathered.

When thunder and lightning flashed, a ghostly light descended on a small island with the lightning.

The ghostly light transformed into shape, revealing Xiao Bai's graceful figure.

She spat out a turbid breath, a look of lingering fear on her face.

"A mid-fourth-tier Demon Emperor, and the most troublesome Sea-Patrolling Yaksha, almost got caught."

While rejoicing, Xiao Bai remembered the situation she had investigated earlier, and her face was hesitant.

But after a moment, she showed a firm look.

"Absolutely correct, that guy who loves wine is the Black King!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Bai took out a jade piece and sent a detailed sound transmission into it.

The first sentence was:

"Master, the Black King has appeared!"

At this thought, Xiao Bai took out a jade pendant and sent a detailed voice transmission into it.

The first sentence was:

"Master, the Black King has appeared!"
