Chapter 664: A great victory

After a while, all the monks of the Sea Expedition Vanguard returned to the ship. After this battle, the number of the Sea Expedition Vanguard, which numbered over a thousand, was reduced to less than 800.

Some of them died in the battle with the crabs, while others chased the defeated monster crabs and never came back.

In contrast, it was normal that two people were missing from Ye Ling's team. No one asked about the whereabouts of Tang Xiong and Yu Honghua. Some teams even had only one or two people left, and even the captains were dead.

The last team to come back was the strong team led by Zhou Mingzhao, the fourth son of the Earth Xuan Immortal Sect. They were in even more embarrassment than Wei Tong, and were covered in sea mud, as if they had just emerged from the bottom of the sea. When they entered the gap in the earth crystal shield of the ship, they were still in shock and it took them a long time to recover.

Wei Tong stepped forward and said, "Fourth Young Master! Brothers, you are the ones who ran the farthest. How is the underwater battle going? Did the two ancestors deal with the Giant Claw Clan?"

Fourth Young Master's face was gloomy and he was unwilling to mention this matter. However, his subordinates could not refute it because Wei Tong was a fellow disciple. They said awkwardly, "We originally planned to go and see what was going on. We wanted to have a good fight with the Giant Claw Clan. At the very least, we could cheer for the ancestors. Who would have thought that before we could get close to the battlefield, we were rolled back by a purple silk ribbon and directly hit in the sea mud. Not long after that, we heard the ancestors scolding us to get out quickly... uh, we were chased back."

Ye Ling laughed secretly after hearing this. The one who offered the purple silk ribbon must be Lin Qingcheng, the incarnation of Feng Cailing, the fairy of Youyue. It seems that Master Fengzu still intends to continue hiding and does not want the sea expedition vanguard to know her identity.

Gradually, the sea waves calmed down, and the earth crystal ship stopped shaking. Everyone knew that the battle under the sea had come to an end. They stared at the turbid sea water that gradually settled down. Most of the cultivators were concentrating on being alert, fearing that the ancestors would make mistakes and be attacked by the giant claw tribe again.

Ye Ling saw that Sikou Tingyan and the others were nervous, and smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, the Yuanying ancestors will definitely return with a great victory. You just wait and see."

Sikou Tingyan rarely agreed for once, and said with a bitter face, "I hope so! It's only been a few days, and only eight out of ten of the sea expedition vanguards are left. If we walk for another ten days or half a month, how many people will be left? These war honors and spirit stones are not taken for nothing, they are all exchanged for lives!"

Ye Ling smiled, he knew very well: this is just the beginning! It's just that they were blocked by the East Sea demon tribe halfway to the Demon Saint Palace. The real dangerous place is what Tiandan Patriarch said, the sealed demon tomb behind the Demon Saint Palace! That was the final destination of the sea expedition vanguard army. Their cultivation was suppressed below the Golden Core. Without the protection of the Yuanying ancestors and the refuge of the 12th-level Earth Crystal Ship, they would inevitably face greater challenges.

After two incense sticks of time, Zhou Tongan, the ancestor of the Dixuan Immortal Sect, and Bailong, the ancestor of the Tiandan Immortal Sect, flew back slowly on their swords.

All the foundation-building cultivators on the entire ship were shocked! They shouted loudly:

"The ancestors are back! The giant claw tribe has been driven away!"

"The ancestors are mighty, we won!"

"We must win! We must win!"

Sikou Tingyan, Xia Tong and Zijuan also hurriedly stood up to welcome the return of the two ancestors. Their faces were filled with joy. Finally, they didn't have to worry.

Ye Ling and Qingwan's eyes were attracted by Lin Qingcheng who suddenly appeared from the water behind them. They saw that she was still dust-free and didn't look tired.

Ye Ling quickly sent a telepathic message and asked, "May I ask Master Feng Zu, was the Crab Taoist of the Giant Claw Clan killed by the Yuanying seniors?"

Lin Qingcheng looked up at the sky and also sent a telepathic message, feeling quite helpless and unwilling: "How can it be that easy! The Crab Taoist's defense is even stronger than that of the immortal Zhou Lao, and he has quite a lot of shrimp soldiers and crab generals under his command. Fortunately, I personally went to help this time, otherwise the two of them might not be the opponent of the Giant Claw Clan! Later, the Taoist priest Xie escaped with injuries, protecting the giant claw tribe from retreating.

Ye Ling asked again: "Mr. Zhou Si, was also beaten into the mud by Lord Fengzu? Didn't the Zhou ancestor blame him?"

Lin Qingcheng said leisurely: "Humph! That kid wanted to do something bad, but I threw him out! Of course, Zhou Lao Busheng was not satisfied, but I said that I was protecting Mr. Ling from being injured by the giant claw tribe's golden elixir monster crab, so Zhou Lao Busheng did not turn against me. Huh? Where are the two spies?"
