#865 - Chapter 865 Seeing the Truth
“I’ll help you see Long Tian’s true colors,” Wang Xuan said decisively.
“Come with us, and the answer will be revealed!”
So Dun Hong and Yuan Ji, along with a group of sea妖 guards, followed the feather light point ahead, traversing through the seabed.
They passed through long coral reefs, seaweed叢s, and rock群s, the light growing dimmer and dimmer.
Apart from the sound of surging seawater, the surroundings became increasingly quiet.
“Where are you taking us?”
“This… this seems to be the direction of the Forbidden Land?”
Upon hearing this, the faces of all the sea妖族 people changed drastically, and an atmosphere of terror began to permeate.
“Forbidden Land? Why don’t you go and see for yourselves?”
“Since you’re already here, I told you I’m here to help you see the truth, no need to be afraid.”
Inside the Mirror Moon Silver Feather Pot, Wang Xuan could clearly see everyone's face, and the fearful expressions on their faces were indeed a true reflection of their hearts.
The brilliant feather light point moved forward again, carrying complex emotions of fear and anticipation. Dun Hong and Yuan Ji still followed, while the other sea妖 could only obey orders.
They didn't know how much time had passed, or how many dark places they had gone through, and even encountered sea妖 guard checkpoints several times in between.
Wang Xuan gently raised his hand, and a palm wind containing spiritual power raged out, like a海底 hurricane, sweeping away everything in its path, sucking the sea妖 guards at the checkpoints into the vortex, leaving no bones behind.
Am I that powerful? Wang Xuan himself was a little stunned.
“Lord Dun Hong, Yuan Ji, you…”
Seeing Dun Hong and Yuan Ji leading two or three hundred people over, the leading general was instantly vigilant and full of doubt.
His lower body had a terrifying snake tail, with immense power, enough to fight a hundred enemies alone, and he was now ready to act.
“Chief Long Tian asked you to come? That's impossible…”
Dun Hong went straight to the point, "We already know the sins Long Tian has committed. Now, are you still going to collude with him?"
The tone of the last sentence suddenly became heavier.
The leading general's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his face instantly became ferocious.
“Boom boom~”
The huge snake tail swayed, the seawater became turbid, and the entire seabed felt like it was about to collapse.
“Ah~”
The other sea妖族 soldiers showed terrified expressions. This was Dong Teng, the fifth of the sea妖族's terrifying Ten Great Generals.
The昊天 Black Flame Centipede, which fought Yu Wang Xuan on the sea before, ranked fourth, so this Dong Teng's strength was also terrifying.
His snake tail had the power to destroy everything, and even with just two or three swings, these mere two or three hundred shrimp soldiers and crab generals would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
Ye Hongxue watched everything that happened outside from inside the pot. Although she was only in the mid-stage of the Golden Core Realm, she felt no fear in her heart.
She concentrated the aura in her body and injected it into the spirit sword, and the sword body emitted a faint light.
“咻~”
The sword energy pierced through the air, and the gravity of the seawater did not affect the speed and lethality of the sword energy at all.
Falling on Dong Teng's snake tail, the power of the sword energy seemed to be magnified hundreds or thousands of times, and even the flow of seawater was distorted.
“Bang bang~”
The scales on the snake tail made cracking sounds.
“Ah~”
Dong Teng's face twisted for a while, and he looked around, but he didn't know where the sword energy came from.
Ye Hongxue shouted excitedly, "Wow, this Mirror Moon Silver Feather Pot is really a treasure!"
"I just swung my sword, and it's so powerful," Ye Hongxue giggled.
“You dare to play sneak attacks?” A deep voice came from Dong Teng's mouth, and the tense and oppressive atmosphere was like the eve of a storm.
Seeing that Dong Teng was about to attack, Dun Hong hurriedly waved his hand, intending to give the other party another chance.
After all, everyone was just a pawn of Long Tian.
“General Dong Teng, please calm down and listen to me for a few words.”
“You must know more about what is in this Forbidden Land than I do. Have you never questioned Chief Long Tian's so-called ambitions, his so-called grand plan for the future of the sea妖族, which is just empty talk?”
“How many people from the sea妖族 have been sent away by Long Tian in the past thousands of years? Open this iron gate, and everyone will know!”
“Do you not have nightmares guarding these corpses and skeletons every day?”
Dun Hong spoke with emotion and reason, and tears could already be seen in the eyes of many sea妖 soldiers.
“You…”
“This…”
“Is this something you and I can change?” Dong Teng put away his snake tail. He clenched his teeth tightly, avoiding shouting a word of "pain", his face ashen.
Although the sea妖族 has undergone forced mutations for thousands of years, some super-powerful mutated sea妖s have emerged.
Such as the guardian beast 昊天 Sea Flame Centipede, and the Ten Great Generals such as Dong Teng, Dun Hong, and Yuan Ji.
But Dong Teng now felt that the thick and huge snake tail was becoming more and more of a burden. Every time he used the snake tail, he needed to consume a lot of spiritual power.
And his own cultivation was far from catching up with the consumption, and even the effect of pills on the improvement of spiritual power was getting smaller and smaller.
According to the conventional lifespan of the sea妖, he should be in his prime now, but now, his body is getting heavier day by day.
He dared to assert that in less than two years, the snake tail might completely drain his life functions.
At that time, perhaps, behind this iron gate, the high seabed of corpses and skeletons would be his final destination.
And Dun Hong, precisely because he recognized this early on and realized the truth, decided to rise up and resist.
“You and I cannot change it, but we can change our descendants.”
Dun Hong took a deep breath, put his hands behind his back, and said faintly.
After saying that, a flash of light appeared in his palm, and a brown pill appeared in his hand.
“Take it, I understand, you don’t have to carry everything alone.”
The injured snake tail was consuming a lot of spiritual power in the body, and the wound was burning hot.
Dong Teng knew that he would not be able to stop them today, but he did not expect Dun Hong to give him a pill.
Could it be that he was not the only one suffering?
Dong Teng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This pill is getting less and less effective, forget it."
“Anyway, sooner or later, behind this iron gate will be my final destination.”
“If you are willing to take a look, then go ahead.”
Dong Teng's back was extremely desolate when he said these words.
Dun Hong accidentally empathized with him, clenched his fists, sighed, and tried to calm himself down.
“Try this pill of mine, it can temporarily relieve General Dong Teng's heart-burning pain.”
Inside the Mirror Moon Silver Feather Pot, Wang Xuan flew out a pill and accurately bounced it into Dong Teng's mouth.
“This… who is speaking?”
The other sea妖族 soldiers also looked at me and I looked at you.
“They are disciples of the Star River Sect,” Dun Hong pointed to the light point of the feather.
The Mirror Moon Silver Feather Pot expanded several times before the sea妖族 people could see it clearly.
“What a magical thing!”
“Just a light point, and people can be hidden inside.”
