"You probably don’t know, it was originally a Bloody Mist Fish from the deep sea. If it weren’t for my more than ten years of cultivation, how could it be so powerful now... Pity? Truly a useless emotion."

"But excessive emotions always stem from a stable world. If you knew you were bound to lose today, you wouldn’t be so leisurely."

With that, the Dongying Goblin Master raised his hand.

Suddenly, the entire sea surface boiled.

When An Long and his group saw the vast water area outside the pier surfacing with one gigantic sea beast after another, their expressions changed immediately.

A group of Sea Beasts?

Not just one?

Splash!

A huge head appeared at the feet of the Goblin Master, and he stood imposingly opposite Sui Yi.

"Underestimating neighboring countries has always been the Central Plains’ nasty habit, and it’s time this habit brings you an expensive price."

The words of the Dongying Goblin Master struck heavily in the hearts of all the Central Plains People.

Now it’s quite clear: near the pier are Sui Yi and that ’surrendered’ Long, while on the outer side of the waters are the Dongying Goblin Master and those appearing Sea Beasts.

"Eighteen," Shi Feixuan counted silently, a worried expression appearing on her delicate face. Eighteen heads! Combined, at least equivalent to five Great Grandmasters! How can they resist?

How can Sui Yi resist?

Shi Feixuan and the Hell’s Wan Ge members were about to go into the water, thinking they could at least lend a hand.

Besides, quite a few martial artists were itching to move.

"These eighteen Sea Beasts have arrived at our Central Plains pier, which shows that the Dongying schemer has great ambitions. If he wished, he could entirely crush our navy!"

"Weren’t there two maritime disasters before, destroying three waves of salt boats shipped from Jiangnan, killing countless people, and leading to no salt available in Jiangnan and Northwest Region. I think it’s this Dongying rogue behind it!"

"Exactly!"

One Sea Beast is understandable, but eighteen! If used militarily, wouldn’t the Dongying army’s invasion allow their coastal defense to let the enemy in unchecked? Seeing how they dare to assassinate Li Yuan today, wouldn’t they dare to invade the land of the Central Plains in the future!

Thus, the Green Forest heroes were immediately stirred, with many wanting to go into the water or pull out the sea ships...

Suddenly, they were all stunned.

Because they saw a person.

Shi Feixuan’s steps paused there, as she looked at a bamboo raft that had appeared at the center of the water at some unknown time.

On the bamboo raft, there was only one person. Clearly drifting against the current, yet effortlessly and naturally approaching that area.

A person stood on the bamboo raft.

Wearing a brownish-red long robe, with frosty temples, a broad face, a dignified expression, and eyebrows full of awe-inspiring authority.

Especially those eyes, as deep as the sea, as profound as the abyss.

Both hands were crossed on a long saber, which was resting vertically on the bamboo.

The robe gently fluttered as he slowly approached.

It was an unmatched and dominating presence that subdued the entire scene.

"Eighteen underwater beasts have actually given Dongying such confidence to dare invade my Central Plains’ territory, as expected, just a speck of land."

Just two simple sentences, spoken slowly, as if indifferent, but they echoed over the vast water and resonated on the dock, causing all martial artists and commoners to freeze in spirit.

This person...

"Song Que," Li Yuan exhaled softly.

Though both were leaders of the Gate Valve, Li Yuan never considered him as an equal.

Because such peerless dominance, only the Heavenly Saber Song Que had.

Song Que!

He is the Heavenly Saber!

He has arrived!

If the crowd was initially roused and worried, now they were impassioned and high-spirited!

All the martial artists were shouting, requesting Song Que to kill the Dongying Goblin Master. In terms of folk support, just emerging, with mysterious means, but recognized as non-Central Plains origin, Sui Yi was far less beloved by these martial artists compared to Song Que.

Sui Yi didn’t mind this, just looked at Song Que on the bamboo raft, examined his appearance and silent demeanor, and had to admit that neither Song Shidao nor Song Yuzhi was as peerless as their father.

Song Que also glanced at Sui Yi, just a quick glance, and said flatly: "Sui Yi, Cangwu, how should I address you?"

To actually use a tone of an equal?

The world was amazed, but on reflection, it made sense.

Sui Yi is also a Great Grandmaster.

Only Great Grandmasters can interact as equals, as for age, it’s just trivial.

"Both are fine," Sui Yi replied.

Song Que then pointed to the eighteen Sea Beasts in the waters: "Is it more effective to kill their handlers, or do we need to separate and intercept them? Or can you singularly manipulate them all?"

Three options.

Song Que naturally had to find the most reliable one, although he was domineering, he was surprisingly gentle toward Sui Yi.

This gentleness made Shi Feixuan and others’ eyebrows twitch involuntarily.

Logically, Shi Feixuan wouldn’t think as crookedly as Natasha and others, but she knew some past entanglements between Bi Xiuxin and Song Que, coupled with Sui Yi... Sui Yi didn’t appear to be of the younger generation, and from the handling of affairs and tone of voice, seemed more like an elder...

Shi Feixuan thought about how the other had patted her head... That feeling was even more complex.

Sui Yi didn’t have such wild imaginations as those people, she contemplated for a moment, then said: "Directly breaking the Ninjutsu Blood Sacrifice on them, I can’t do, unless they are severely injured and weakened... so these eighteen heads ultimately need to be dealt with, and as for this person, he must be eliminated, otherwise trouble will be endless."

Trouble will be endless,

Song Que understood her meaning.

Eighteen is not the limit, nineteen is the same.

With a few more... Dongying occupying the Central Plains might not be impossible, as the current Central Plains’ economic cycle primarily relies on maritime transport. Being impeded at sea would also obstruct the nation’s fortune.

Thus, the Dongying Goblin Master must die! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
