Above the vast and boundless ocean,
Giant waves rolled incessantly, and even the most ordinary waves towered dozens of meters high, sometimes revealing the fleeting shadows of enormous sea beasts.
Every time these giants appeared, they would set off waves hundreds, if not thousands, of meters high.
The onslaught was overwhelming.
Ordinary warships would stand no chance of navigating here.
This was the Southern Sea Area.
a gigantic warship sailed across the sea.
This vessel, stretching a kilometer long, still seemed as insignificant as a grain of sand compared to the vast ocean.
Huang Feihu stood tall, already drenched by seawater, his hands gripping the rail tight, his eyes gleaming with the sharpness of a hawk, his expression extremely grave.
Huang Feihu had dominated this rebellious territory for hundreds of years.
He had never seen the Southern Sea Area so tumultuous and fraught with danger.
All of this was exceedingly abnormal!
"Elder, the scouting ships we dispatched have lost contact; I fear it's more bad news," Huang Feibao said with a grave look, speaking solemnly.
they continually sent out small vessels to scout ahead; hundreds of ships had been sent, all never to return.
Huang Feihu's face was grim as he said, "Keep sending more people out. The Southern Sea Area is too abnormal, teeming with creatures that don't even belong here. If this continues, I fear a beast tide will eventually form. We must find Lin Bingxin and the others before that happens..."
Especially in a lawless territory , once a beast tide formed, it would be a disaster for humanity.
On land, beast tides could be somewhat countered by strong city walls against lower-level monsters.
At sea, these monsters, often hundreds to thousands of meters in body length, could create kilometer-high waves with a mere flick of their tails. How could that possibly be countered?
What concerned Huang Feihu even more as they sailed was...
They had encountered many creatures not native to the Southern Sea Area, and they were appearing here frequently.
Some of these were even creatures not from the rebellious territories.
It was well known that monsters had a strong territorial instinct!
They rarely invaded each other's territories and seldom left their own.
Yet now, the kinds of creatures they encountered that didn't belong to the Southern Sea were more than ten different types, numbering over a thousand in total. Given the vastness of the Southern Sea Area, the actual number could be hundreds or thousands of times higher.
"Elder, perhaps we should retreat!" Huang Feibao hesitated.
Beside him, Huang Feixiang added gravely, "Our clansmen have already retreated to the Daqian Dynasty. We should leave too! Only by reaching the inland area can we avoid this disaster..."
"It's just some disciples from Xiaoshanhe Institute, we have done our best; even Xiao Zhenguo can't blame us!"
The men agreed among themselves.
Indeed, this journey had been fraught with too many dangers.
They had set out with six kilometer-long warships and over a hundred hundred-meter-long warships.
Huang Feihu fiercely slapped Huang Feibao across the face, his expression dark enough to drip water, chillingly adding, "Xiao Zhenguo has been gracious to us; how can we be ungrateful? I don't want to hear such talk again, or I will deal with it severely!"
Huang Feibao's face alternated between shades of emotion.
Beside him, Huang Feixiang slightly frowned, and they exchanged a look,
then walked together toward Huang Feihu.
Huang Feihu furrowed his brows, "What are you attempting to do? Are you thinking of rebelling?"
With a red tongue licking his lips, Huang Feibao touched the stinging cheek that Huang Feihu had just slapped and sneered, "You are right; I aim to rebel. What can you do about it?"
"Huang Feihu, since you willingly become Xiao Yi's lackey, you no longer deserve to be the head of the Huang Family!"
"We do not wish to die for Xiao Yi. From now on, you are no longer our leader..."
The crowd spoke in unison.
Watching their coordinated accusations, Huang Feihu's face turned iron blue, and his breathing became rapid. It was clear to see that they had premeditated. He gloomily turned to Huang Feibao, "With your abilities, it's impossible for them to rebel against you. Who gave you the courage..."
Huang Feibao gave a sinister smile, gestured towards the cabin, and made an inviting gesture, "Elder Jin, it's your turn to appear!"
Huang Feihu's face suddenly changed.
A chilly voice slowly emerged: "Elder Huang, long time no see!"
Huang Feihu looked at the figure wearing a cloak. Suddenly, his pupils dilated as he recognized the person, "Elder Jin Ming from the Changsheng Sect? It's you?"
The Changsheng Sect's influence was everywhere.
They had always been secretly wooing various strong forces and powers.
This Jin Ming was one of the 108 Elders of the Changsheng Sect, one of the seventy-two Earth-Killing Elders.
He had once attempted to recruit Huang Feihu, who had rejected him. Little did he imagine that he would turn Huang Feibao against him.
"Elder Huang... Ah, no, you are no longer the head of the Huang Family."
Jin Ming's face bore a cold smile, as he moved next to Huang Feibao with a brilliant grin, "Huang Feihu, when I gave you the chance to join our Changsheng Sect, you bluntly rejected my goodwill, missing a huge opportunity! Fortunately, Chief Huang Feibao knows how to read the times, and he will lead the Huang Family to glory..."
Huang Feihu snorted coldly, his furious gaze fixed on Huang Feibao and he roared, "Huang Feibao, what benefits did Jin Ming give you to betray our family?"
Huang Feibao indifferently said, "The Spirit of Immortality!"
Huang Feihu's face violently changed.
He didn't expect the Changsheng Sect to offer the Spirit of Immortality.
No wonder Huang Feibao betrayed him!
For any strong person, the Spirit of Immortality is something they long for.
Huang Feihu exhaled a heavy breath and coldly said, "Huang Feibao, do you think by joining the Changsheng Sect and betraying Xiao Zhenguo, you will have a chance to refine that Spirit of Immortality?"
Jin Ming grinned slyly, "Why not? It's not just Xiao Yi; even for the Nantian Dynasty, what does the Changsheng Sect have to fear?"
Huang Feibao said, "Elder Jin, Huang Feihu is very cunning. It's best to eliminate him quickly!"
Jin Ming nodded, his eyes flashing coldly, "Die!"
A golden light shot explosively towards Huang Feihu.
Jin Ming was at the Peak of the Human Venerate Realm.
His combat power was far superior to Huang Feihu's.
Under the onslaught of rampant energy.
Huang Feihu's expression turned cold, a hint of despair emerging on his face.
Huang Feibao and others looked on smugly, "Once you are dead, both the Huang Family and the entire tumultuous sea area will fall into my control."
Jin Ming scorned profoundly, "If you do not submit to our Changsheng Sect, death is your only path!"
At this critical moment...
From the sky, suddenly there came a stunning sword light.
The terrifying sword light forcefully dispersed Jin Ming's attack.
Under the astonished gaze of everyone, a figure, like a god or a demon, descended slowly from the sky: "Dare to touch my people? Are you seeking death?"
