Chapter 73: The Sea God Clan Moves Out in Full Force

Mengchen activated his secret power, and suddenly his physical body turned yellow, with a pale golden light flowing over it. A terrifying aura permeated the air, and his flesh instantly transformed into the color of bronze, shining with extreme luster.

Seeing Shi Hao's expression of shock, Mengchen explained in detail: "Brother Shi Hao, I won't hide it from you; I originally hail from the Western Sect of the Xuan Domain, and I have used Golden Body Liquid for years to temper my body and practice the Indestructible Golden Body technique."

"Furthermore, my cultivation is just like yours; every step I take seeks the ultimate Dao, pursuing perfection in my heart."

"Therefore, in this bout, it was mainly due to the technique. If you also possessed such a method of body tempering, it would be hard to say who is stronger."

"He is actually a disciple of the Western Sect."

In the distance, a creature from the Divine Mountain Alliance exclaimed, looking at the astonishing light flowing in Mengchen's eyes, feeling very shocked.

"I didn't expect that the Kunpeng divine treasure would even alarm an extraterritorial great sect like the Western Sect." A person beside them also whispered.

"The fortune of the Ten Fiends—who wouldn't be jealous!"

"I wonder if other great sects have been drawn in besides the Western Sect. If all the great sects come, how are we supposed to compete with them?"

For a time, after hearing Mengchen say he was from the Western Sect, the crowd of creatures gasped and whispered.

"You actually have such a background!" Shi Hao said with a look of shock.

Although Shi Hao did not know much about the Western Sect, he had heard rumors that it was an ancient sect that had been passed down for countless years, with an extremely profound foundation.

At this moment, the Tianhu Shaonü shouted from afar: "Little brother Shi Hao, I am actually the Saintess of the Jietian Sect. As long as you come back with me and join my Jietian Sect, I will definitely provide you with all the Golden Body Liquid you need."

Hearing this, Shi Hao looked over, his face filled with shock.

If she hadn't said it herself, he would never have imagined that the Tianhu Shaonü would come from the Jietian Sect, which could rival the Western Sect, and that she was even their incomparably noble Saintess.

"What... she is the Saintess of the Jietian Sect?"

"Another great sect has appeared; what are we to do?"

At this moment, the crowd of creatures looked terrified. Two people from great sects had appeared one after another; how were they supposed to compete for the Kunpeng divine treasure now?

Even if they managed to win it, what would be the use? If these great sects brought their armies to the border, wouldn't it mean the destruction of their clans?

By then, they would have no choice but to hand it over obediently.

For a time, a feeling of loss and sorrow spread among these creatures.

"Brother Shi Hao, don't listen to the little fox's nonsense; the words of a Fox Spirit can never be trusted," Mengchen said, looking at Shi Hao.

"You stinky little brother are truly hateful, always slandering me everywhere." The Tianhu Shaonü made a charming sound, then turned to look at Shi Hao with a wronged expression, saying: "Little brother Shi Hao, you must believe me; don't listen to his nonsense."

"Your talent is extraordinary. Once you reach my sect, you will surely receive the utmost cultivation. In the future, stepping onto the Nine Heavens to pluck the moon will not be a mere dream."

"Hehe..." Mengchen chuckled and said: "Don't forget, you are currently my maidservant. If your sect were truly as powerful as you say, how could you have fallen to this state?"

"What? The Saintess of the Jietian Sect is a maidservant to a disciple of the Western Sect?" The crowd of creatures exclaimed upon hearing this.

This was huge news!

The Western Sect had always kept away from women; who in the Bayu didn't know this?

And now, such a thing had actually happened, and it involved the dignified Saintess of the Jietian Sect.

If this were to spread, it would likely cause the two sects to become a hot topic of discussion.

If things went wrong, it might even trigger a great war between the two sects.

"You..."

Seeing the shocking reaction of the crowd, the Tianhu Shaonü was furious. He really knew how to hit a sore spot; it was extremely hateful.

In an instant, she seemed to let it go, too lazy to argue with him.

She turned to Shi Hao with a bewitching look and said: "Little brother Shi Hao, are you willing to join my Jietian Sect? Then we would be a family."

"Oh! I think I'll pass! I'm used to being free and unfettered." Hearing Mengchen's words, Shi Hao refused with an amused expression.

Hearing the Tianhu Shaonü mention the word "family," Shi Hao looked thoughtful and said with a hint of grievance: "How about this! Since you want to be a family with me so much, I will reluctantly take you back to the village. We can live together for a few years, and then after we've created a little life, I'll accompany you back to your maiden home to pay respects; that shouldn't be too late."

"Hahaha..."

As soon as Shi Hao said this, it instantly caused Mengchen and the others to burst into laughter. "Shameless scoundrel, you deserve a beating!"

"Boom!"

Hearing this, the Tianhu Shaonü's expression turned cold, and she struck a beam of divine light toward Shi Hao.

Shi Hao threw a punch, scattering the incoming divine light.

The Tianhu Shaonü did not continue to attack. She turned away, fanning the air with her jade hand to cool her anger, and said sarcastically: "Oh my, I suddenly feel that you, little brother Shi Hao, are not so sweet anymore; you're just as stinky and stubborn as that bald little brother."

The Tianhu Shaonü felt annoyed in her heart; she was simply exasperated by these two.

"Brother Shi Hao, let's end our sparring here!" As their conversation with the Tianhu Shaonü concluded, Mengchen spoke up.

Hearing this, Shi Hao replied: "Good! Brother Mengchen, your divine might is peerless; this time, I concede."

"Brother Shi Hao is too kind."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two began to trade cultivation insights, chatting very enthusiastically.

As time passed, their exchange drew to a close.

After they finished their discussion, Shi Hao patted Mengchen on the shoulder and said happily: "Brother Mengchen, let's go! Let's continue to eat meat in big mouthfuls and have a good drink while we're at it."

"Good! Let's go!" Mengchen laughed and agreed readily.

Following that, the two turned and were about to walk toward where the Tianhu Shaonü was.

The Qingluan and divine servants that Shi Hao had handed over to them earlier had already been cleaned up by Maoqiu and Heizi.

However, a vague feeling made Mengchen and Shi Hao stop at the same time. After staring at each other, they turned to look at the boundless seawater.

They sensed a potential power emanating from the seabed, slowly rising to the surface.

Under their gaze, auspicious clouds suddenly descended from the firmament, and holy light surged, lowering a golden pillar of light that reached deep into the sea.

"Heavens, what is this?!"

Seeing this, many creatures were astonished, watching in disbelief.

"Who killed my child!"

Suddenly, an extremely deep voice transmitted through the pillar of light on the seabed.

All the living beings were shocked by the sound and instantly moved far away from that pillar of light reaching toward Heaven Domain.

The sea surface illuminated by the divine light of Heaven Domain suddenly churned, as if the seawater were boiling.

Mengchen and Shi Hao stared with focused attention, feeling a terrifying aura about to break through the surface of the sea.

In an instant, Tianhu Shaonü, Heizi, and Maoqiu also sensed the arrival of a dangerous aura, and they stood up and walked toward the two of them.

After arriving, they stood shoulder to shoulder with Mengchen and Shi Hao, gazing at the sea surface with increasingly solemn expressions.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

In a flash, a pair of massive, greyish dragon horns were the first to emerge from the water, followed by a huge dragon head and a colossal body that slowly rose from the sea, causing the seawater to splash noisily, with half of its body reaching into the clouds.

Its size was so great that it was breathtaking.

This was a Sea Dragon, massive in size, standing a full thousand meters tall.

Following closely behind were a dense crowd of Sea Dragons, large and small, as if the entire nest had been emptied.

"Who is it? Who killed my child?" The Sea Dragon twisted its body, its huge and ferocious dragon head reaching down from the clouds to lean close to Mengchen and Shi Hao, roaring in anger.

"Ah! How could it be like this?"

The familiar scent made the Sea Dragon lift its eyes to look, only to see chunks of succulent, fresh meat.

Mengchen, Shi Hao, Tianhu Shaonü, Heizi, and Maoqiu, the five of them, understood in an instant.

The descendant of the Sea God, who had been slain and partially eaten by them, was the child of this massive Sea Dragon.
