348: Chapter 348 Crossing the Boundary

"Have you heard? The Sea Demon Python Clan has started a war against the Phantom Nether Clan."

"I know about that. A friend of mine passed by the territory of the Phantom Nether Clan yesterday. He was the only one on his ship who managed to escape, and he even lost an arm."

"Your friend is lucky to have escaped with his life. I heard that even a Kuhai Master was caught in the crossfire and killed."

In a restaurant.

A group of people were discussing this.

Lin Ming sat at a table by the window, with plates of delicious food spread out before him.

From the mouths of these people, Lin Ming roughly understood the conflict between the so-called Sea Demon Python and the Phantom Nether Clan.

Simply put, a month ago, the Sea Demon Python Clan lost an important treasure. In order to find this important treasure, the entire Sea Demon Python Clan began to mobilize, even going so far as to make enemies with the surrounding sea clans.

As a major clan with a Nirvana Ancestor sitting in command, their strength was not to be underestimated, which made many sea clans dare not speak out despite their anger.

The actions of the Sea Demon Python Clan had caused some turmoil in this ocean.

Of course, not every race gave Face to the Sea Demon Python Clan.

For instance, the Phantom Nether Clan, which was at odds with the Sea Demon Python Clan.

It is estimated that the Sea Demon Python Clan found out that the Phantom Nether Clan was behind the theft of their treasure, which is why they launched the war.

However, the fact that they went to war after only a month was something they had not expected at all.

"What lost important treasure? I think that's just an excuse. The Sea Demon Python Clan probably planned to fight all along," one person scoffed.

"Now, many spiritual items are likely going to increase in price," another person suddenly said.

Hearing this, many people reacted immediately. They stood up and left the restaurant.

Originally, because of the conflict between the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path, many spiritual items had already increased in price.

Now, with the infighting between the sea clans, some spiritual items would likely rise in price again.

"Troubled times indeed," one person sighed.

"Forget it, don't be so sentimental. If it really gets bad, we'll just move to another place," the person's companion said.

"Where can we move to? I saw the latest battle report. A True Monarch from Ximo Mountain was schemed against by the Bliss Sect and died."

Since the war between the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path began, the first True Monarch of the Other Shore had fallen.

"The Righteous Path cannot lose," that person said.

He still hoped that the Righteous Path would win, even though in his view, these Righteous Path Sects were not exactly good birds either; they had committed plenty of sordid acts, only they managed to cover them up through various means.

But the Demonic Path truly did not treat people as human.

Mortals and cultivators were nothing but livestock kept in captivity in their eyes, mere cultivation resources to be squandered at will.

Under the rule of these Righteous Path Sects, they at least had some way out. If the Demonic Path won, they would not even have that so-called way out.

"This is not something we can control."

In the end, they were just ordinary Loose Cultivators. With their strength, even if they went to the battlefield, they would only be cannon fodder.

Has a True Monarch of the Other Shore already fallen?

Hearing this news, Lin Ming was slightly surprised.

How long had the war been going on? Less than half a year, and a True Monarch of the Other Shore had actually fallen.

This was perhaps a bit too intense.

The Bliss Sect.

This reminded Lin Ming that he had indeed dealt with remnants of the Bliss Sect.

Looking at it this way, these remnants of the Bliss Sect had some ability.

However, since Ximo Mountain had lost a True Monarch, it was estimated that they would certainly take large-scale action next.

The situation of the war was likely to escalate further.

It seemed that some of his own plans would have to be advanced.

It was also at this moment that Lin Ming suddenly looked outside, towards the direction of the ocean.

He saw a group of cultivators fleeing from the sea, but many others were swallowed by the waves and remained there forever.

After these cultivators landed, the waves did not stop; they rushed onto the land and swept forward.

Only when they reached the front of Dongchao City did this wave dissipate.

"You have crossed the boundary."

A middle-aged man appeared outside the city gate, looking at the direction of the ocean with a grave expression.

The sea surface surged.

A giant python, a hundred meters long, emerged from the sea.

A pair of cold snake eyes stared straight at this middle-aged man.

"True Monarch Lu Zhixing, move aside," the snake hissed coldly.

"You can try," a sword appeared in True Monarch Lu Zhixing's hand.

A sharp Sword Intent manifested from his body.

Many people saw this scene and became nervous.

True Monarch Lu Zhixing, the City Lord of Dongchao City, was himself a Sword Cultivator in the Other Shore Realm.

She Teng, a True Monarch of the Other Shore from the Sea Demon Python Clan.

Although they did not know what had happened.

But once the two of them fought, Dongchao City would be in some trouble.

"Very well."

After the two sides confronted each other for a long time.

The Sea Demon Python suddenly retreated, its figure sinking into the sea.

Seeing this, True Monarch Lu Zhixing returned to the city.

"What happened? Didn't the Sea Demon Python Clan just go to war with the Phantom Nether Clan? Why are they looking for trouble with Dongchao City now?"

"How would I know?"

"Could it be that the Sea Demon Python Clan wants to go to war with the Canghai Sword Pavilion?"

"Do you think the Sea Demon Python Clan is stupid?"

The strength of the Sea Demon Python Clan was indeed good, but compared to the Canghai Sword Pavilion, it was still far behind.

Even if the Canghai Sword Pavilion was putting most of its energy into dealing with the Demonic Path now, it was still more than enough to deal with the Sea Demon Python Clan.

But the Sea Demon Python was not quite there yet.

There was probably something fishy going on here.

"Do you think it has something to do with the treasure that the Sea Demon Python Clan lost?"

"By the way, do you know what the treasure that the Sea Demon Python Clan lost is?"

"I really don't know."

The information they had was that the Sea Demon Python Clan had lost a precious treasure, but what this so-called precious treasure was, they did not know.

They only knew that this thing existed.

This was also why they suspected that this so-called precious treasure was just an excuse.

But they didn't think too much about it; after all, for them, this kind of thing would not involve them.

They were at most just spectators.

However.

Dongchao City was locked down.

When She Teng attacked Dongchao City, the city's defensive Formation was activated, enveloping Dongchao City within it.

This made it impossible to enter or leave Dongchao City.

And just at the moment the Formation was lifted.

Dongchao City was sealed.

Or rather, no one could leave Dongchao City, but they could enter Dongchao City.

Entry only, no exit.

And the person who issued this order was none other than the City Lord.

Once this news came out, it aroused dissatisfaction among many people.

But they could only endure the dissatisfaction, as it was the intention of that True Monarch of the Other Shore.

These people could not influence the will of a True Monarch of the Other Shore.

Even if they couldn't accept it, they had to accept it.
