#243 - Chapter 243 A fight caused by a misunderstanding

The next day.

Lianyun Continent.

With the arrival of the Demon Skull Sect Master, the hidden members of the Demonic Cult from various places appeared one after another, rushing to kneel before the Demon Skull Sect Master.

"What happened?" the Demon Skull Sect Master asked, looking at the crowd.

A survivor from the Ghost Skull Sect said, "Reporting to the Sect Master, a sea monster passed by and swallowed the Young Sect Master and his entire party!"

These words made it difficult for the Demon Skull Sect Master to believe, as sea monsters would not come ashore, and even if they did, they wouldn't come to the remote Lianyun Continent.

Of the thirteen continents, Lianyun Continent was located in the southernmost part, a desolate area, while the Forbidden Sea was in the easternmost part, hundreds of thousands of miles away.

Even if they came ashore, Lianyun Continent would not be the first to suffer.

Unless…

Unless it was a sea monster raised by someone!

The Demon Skull Sect Master thought of this, and an Emperor instantly appeared in his mind.

Among the known Emperors, only the Forbidden Emperor raised a sea monster.

And the Forbidden Emperor's residence was in the Eastern Forbidden Continent, the closest to the Forbidden Sea.

"Are you sure it was a sea monster that did it?" The Demon Skull Sect Master asked the crowd.

"We wouldn't dare to deceive you!" The crowd cupped their hands and said.

The Demon Skull Sect Master understood upon hearing their words.

His ancestor had said that someone was secretly pushing for the Demon Skull Sect's war with the Myriad Blossom Holy Land.

And that person must be an Emperor.

If it was the Forbidden Emperor, it was very likely.

"Alright, I'll go back and discuss it with the ancestor," the Demon Skull Sect Master said to the crowd.

"You go and gather the participating Demonic Cults together, start a new Demonic Cult, establish a sect, and my Demon Skull Sect will give you shelter!" The Demon Skull Sect Master said to the crowd.

"Thank you, Sect Master!" The crowd bowed in gratitude.

With these words from the Demon Skull Sect Master, they could integrate the remaining Demonic Cult disciples and make a comeback.

Only then did the Demon Skull Sect Master leave to find his ancestor to discuss whether to ask the Forbidden Emperor for clarification.

… …

At the same time,

On the Myriad Blossom Sect's side.

After the Grand Elder arrived, everyone knelt down.

The Grand Elder didn't say much, directly asking about the reason for the Demonic Cult's destruction and how the Young Master had died.

The Myriad Blossom Sect Master was a little confused to hear that the Young Master had died.

He hadn't even met the Young Master, only the Young Master's attendant, who told him to prepare for a welcome.

He had prepared, but he hadn't waited for the Young Master, instead, he waited for the Holy Land's Grand Elder.

The Myriad Blossom Sect Master explained the situation of the Demonic Cult's destruction, but he didn't know about the Young Master's death.

When the Grand Elder heard about the Forbidden Sea Monster, the first thing he thought of was the Forbidden Emperor.

Besides the Forbidden Emperor, no one could control the Forbidden Sea Monster and take it out to sea.

"The ancestor said that an Emperor was secretly pushing things, could it be the Forbidden Emperor?" The Grand Elder murmured, not daring to make a decision, he directly flew back to the Myriad Blossom Holy Land and reported to Xiao Ce.

The Demon Skull Sect's ancestor and Xiao Ce, upon hearing about the Forbidden Sea Monster's attack, both guessed that the enemy was the Forbidden Emperor.

So the two exchanged information and went to the Eastern Forbidden Continent together, preparing to ask the Forbidden Emperor for clarification.

… …

逍遥 Peak.

Ye Kong got up early and went to the Bitter Sea, intending to fish, but sensed a strong wave of spiritual power coming from his disciple's side.

"My eldest disciple is about to break through the Golden Core and transform into a Nascent Soul," Ye Kong murmured.

"Breaking through the Golden Core to transform into a Nascent Soul takes a long time and cannot be disturbed," Earth Mother said, walking out from underground.

"That's right," Ye Kong nodded, and with a wave of his hand, he placed a layer of barrier around Lin Yaoyao.

Just as he was about to sit down to fish, the system's voice suddenly rang in his ear.

"Ding, detected a Dao Child descending in the Eastern Forbidden Continent, please go and accept him as a disciple, reward: one special fishing opportunity!"

As the system's voice rang out, Ye Kong stood up from under the willow tree.

Finally, there was a mission.

He hadn't caught anything in a long time.

"Earth Mother, do you know the Eastern Forbidden Continent?" Ye Kong asked, looking at Earth Mother.

"The Eastern Forbidden Continent is close to the Forbidden Sea, in the easternmost part of the continent, I took you to the coast once before," Earth Mother said.

"Take me there again," Ye Kong said.

Upon hearing this, Earth Mother didn't ask why, and took Ye Kong into the ground, heading to the Eastern Forbidden Continent.

… …

Eastern Forbidden Continent.

This place is close to the Forbidden Sea, and is the most dangerous continent of the thirteen continents.

Once the Forbidden Sea Monsters break free from their seals and walk out of the Forbidden Sea, this continent will be the first to suffer.

And an Emperor is stationed here year-round, becoming a local hero.

In the Forbidden Emperor's residence.

The Demon Skull Sect's ancestor and the Myriad Blossom Holy Land's Xiao Ce arrived at the same time.

The Forbidden Emperor walked out of the house, squinting his eyes, and couldn't help but murmur:

"When did the righteous and demonic factions get mixed up together?"

The Forbidden Emperor was a middle-aged man, with slightly white temples, wearing a cyan-green robe, and was elegant.

Just as he finished speaking, Xiao Ce and the Demon Skull Sect's ancestor landed in front of him.

"Forbidden Emperor!" Xiao Ce shouted.

"What's the matter that the two fellow Daoists have come to my place together?" The Forbidden Emperor asked.

"Where is the sea monster you raised?" Xiao Ce asked directly.

"In the backyard, what's wrong?" The Forbidden Emperor said with a puzzled look.

"Can we take a look?" The Demon Skull Sect's ancestor asked.

The Forbidden Emperor frowned slightly, puzzled: "What exactly is the matter with you?"

"Recently, a chaotic Forbidden Sea Monster appeared in the inland, swallowing my Demonic Cult and his Myriad Blossom Holy Land's disciples."

"And the Forbidden Sea Monster cannot leave the sea, only you have the Forbidden Sea Monster," Xiao Ce said directly.

"So you suspect me?" The Forbidden Emperor squinted his eyes, while also being somewhat vigilant in his heart.

Because a few days ago, he had just caught a sea monster, not one that flew out of the Forbidden Sea, but one that flew from another continent.

Although the Forbidden Sea Monster shielded its aura, he was extremely sensitive to the Forbidden Sea Monster, and he sensed it as soon as the Forbidden Sea Monster entered the continent.

He was still curious where the Forbidden Sea Monster came from, and now he understood.

If they were allowed to inspect it, they would definitely be suspicious.

"We don't want to get tough with you as fellow Emperors, we just want an answer," The Demon Skull Sect's ancestor said.

The Forbidden Emperor was silent for a while, and said: "I have a sea monster that I just caught here, I don't know if it's the one you're talking about."

With that said, the Forbidden Emperor took the two of them to the backyard, and they saw a sea monster as big as a mountain.

Relying on the connection of bloodlines, the Ghost Skull Sect's ancestor sensed that there were his people inside.

"My Demon Skull Sect's Young Sect Master is inside!" The Demon Skull Sect's ancestor said with a gloomy face.

Although Xiao Ce didn't sense anything, since the Demon Skull Sect Master had sensed it, then his people were probably already digested.

"This sea monster was captured by me a few days ago, and is now being subdued," The Forbidden Emperor said.

The Demon Skull Sect's ancestor and Xiao Ce looked at the Forbidden Emperor coldly, they suspected that it was the Forbidden Emperor who drove it.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not interested in participating in your battles between good and evil, I said it wasn't me, then it wasn't me," The Forbidden Emperor said with his chest held high.

"If it's not yours, then we'll take this sea monster away," Xiao Ce said.

"No, I just captured it, how can I give it to you so easily?" The Forbidden Emperor refused decisively.

Subduing a sea monster is too difficult, too difficult.

Unless the sea monster automatically goes to sea, otherwise going to the Forbidden Sea to catch one is like delivering food to the sea monster.

The Demon Skull Sect's ancestor sacrificed a skull, and Xiao Ce took out a long sword.

"You… want to start an Emperor War?" The Forbidden Emperor looked at the two coldly.
