Chapter 704: Chapter 311
Upon hearing the newcomer’s words, a trace of excitement appeared in Xu Guang’s eyes.
Tianwu True King?
He looked towards the sky.
The Red Devil mentioned by the Tianwu True King also revealed its true form. It was a creature entirely covered in crimson fur, resembling some kind of mutated fish. Yet the aura of the Saint did not make it appear ugly; instead, it possessed a unique charm.
Behind it, the figure of the Tianwu True King gradually emerged, standing there barehanded.
Xu Guang did not know how the combat strength among Saints was classified, but as the two stood there, it was clear to see who had the upper hand. He could easily sense that his master’s strength should be above that of the Red Devil.
As expected, upon seeing the Tianwu True King, a trace of fear appeared on the Red Devil’s face.
"Tianwu, this is the Cang Sea, not a place for you to run wild!"
Tianwu True King remained expressionless, "It originally had nothing to do with me, but you shouldn’t have involved my disciple. You should also know that I have proven the Dao to become a True King for nearly a millennium and have never taken a disciple."
The Red Devil fell silent; it naturally understood the ins and outs of the situation.
Xu Guang and Yan Ruge were dragged into this by Qingye of the Azure Dragon Tribe.
But Qingye was involved with a significant figure from the Sea Tribe, and it did not intend to put all the blame on Qingye.
And so, after a moment of silence, it seemed to be pondering.
"You may take these people with you, but the matter of the Sea Eye ends here."
Tianwu True King shook his head slightly.
"This is no longer within your or my control."
The matter of the Sea Eye could either remain hidden forever, but now that it has come to light, the Holy Lands around the surrounding seas will not stand by as the Sea Tribe invades the Celestial Capital.
...
In the stormy sea, an area of calm was isolated by the power of the Saint.
"There are more and more Saints in the Sea Tribe." A voice emerged from a suspended, crystal-clear water droplet.
In a silver-white, static thunderbolt, a voice said, "This has nothing to do with my Nine Saints Island. However, that Yanbo is stronger than imagined. Once he becomes a Saint, you all must be extra cautious."
"Ji Ziyu, your plan failed."
Someone spoke up.
Ji Ziyu was the first to discover the secret of the Sea Eye and was also the one behind Master Qingsong.
Ji Ziyu’s expression remained calm as he chuckled, "Whether the plan failed is of no concern. What matters is that I invited the esteemed guests to witness the grand scene of the Sea Tribe. What do the esteemed guests think?"
"I don’t care what you think, but you shouldn’t have plotted against my disciple."
A voice said faintly, coming from a pair of crimson eyes.
He was from the Tianwu True King.
"Using the prodigies of the Human Race to attract the attention of those deeply entrenched creatures of the Sea Tribe, you truly disregard me and this Demon Hunter."
Ji Ziyu’s gaze was like the ocean, always as it should be, "For the greater good, some sacrifices are necessary. Even my own disciples can be sacrificed. Even I, if necessary, can be sacrificed."
Tianwu True King’s indifferent gaze slowly subsided.
"Considering that you’re working for the Human Race, this matter ends here, but only this once."
In this world, there are never truly coincidental events.
Xu Guang traveled thousands of miles from Jizhou to the Cang Sea. He only knew that Liu Chuan was an agent of Wujian, but didn’t know that there were Saints among Wujian too.
...
Cold Moon Island.
In a lavishly decorated mansion.
Jiang Ziyun, Zhuge Wuliang, Jin Buhuan, Jiang Hong... Nearly all of Xu Guang’s relatives and friends from Jizhou and Li Taizhou were gathered here.
"Senior Brother Jin, I didn’t expect you to have such a relationship with Zhao Blood Armor. I’ve heard that even Senior Sister Yuanshuang’s words don’t hold much sway with him."
Bai Xiaozhu looked at Jin Buhuan with a fawning expression and spoke.
Jin Buhuan shook his head slightly. To enlist Zhao Blood Armor’s help, he paid a great price. Many years ago, Zhao Blood Armor owed the Golden Bull Chamber of Commerce, behind him, a favor. Now the favor is cleared.
His status as an heir in the Golden Bull Chamber of Commerce was also completely stripped away.
Was it worth it?
He wasn’t sure.
However, if Xu Guang could grow to become a person like Zhao Blood Armor in the future, then this investment would be worth it.
Jiang Ziyun also looked at Jin Buhuan gratefully.
Xu Guang had been missing for over ten years. Without the support of these friends, she wouldn’t know where she would stand today.
Yet Xu Guang still had not returned. If it weren’t for General Wei constantly assuring her that Xu Guang was alive, she wouldn’t know how she could hold on.
"Alright, enough with the formalities."
As Zhuge Wuliang finished speaking, he noticed the undissipated worry in Jiang Ziyun’s eyes and gently took out a Demon Hunting List.
"That place, the Mystical Sea, can’t be captured even by the power of the Demon Mirror. But if Junior Brother emerges from it, his name will surely appear on the Demon Hunting List."
Just then.
The text on the Demon Hunting List before them suddenly twisted.
When Xu Guang’s name appeared, and the Demon Slaying merits number behind it froze at ten digits, everyone in the courtyard was stunned.
This is...
How many Sea Tribe and Demons did Xu Guang kill in the Mystical Sea?
No!
That’s not the key point.
With so many merits, how many second-nirvana demons died at Xu Guang’s hands?
According to Zhuge Wuliang’s knowledge, the Demon Slaying merits for a first-nirvana demon are approximately between several million to ten million...
Unbelievable!
He wore a look of astonishment.
"Great! I knew the boss would be fine!"
Bai Xiaozhu was overjoyed and particularly excited, directly grabbing Jiang Ziyun beside her, "As expected of the boss I know."
Everyone cheered as they rushed outside.
Leaving the courtyard, they went outside to welcome Xu Guang’s return.
The courtyard was empty in no time.
...
This was the first time in decades that Xu Guang saw the real sky.
He didn’t witness the complete standoff between the Tianwu True King and the Sea Tribe’s Red Ghost Saint.
