305: Chapter 305 Sea Beasts

Dozens of beams of light streaked across the sky, and an immense pressure swept over like a gale.

Under this pressure, which felt like the might of the heavens, wild beasts cowered, and many trees were snapped in two.

When they gathered in Dongyu, they had tried to remain hidden, all of them restraining their aura.

But after Governor Xu Mingyang appeared, they did not even bother pretending anymore.

Upon entering Haixing Kingdom, they casually destroyed over a dozen guard posts and two military fortresses along the way.

A Spirit Map of Haixing Kingdom, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, was almost scared witless when he saw this formation; he turned and ran, wishing only that he had more than two legs.

Under Governor Xu Mingyang's orders, the three great experts—Ritual Master Yu Hai, Governor Gao Gong, and Governor Huang Weiyi—gave chase and swiftly executed the unlucky fellow.

When passing by a major city, they even took the opportunity to launch an attack.

Although the city immediately activated its defensive barrier and the aura of a Huagai Realm expert appeared within, the opposition fell silent immediately after Governor Xu Mingyang smashed through half of the city wall with a single palm strike.

The group was in high spirits as they strode away.

"Hahaha! Exhilarating!"

"This is what a real man's life should be like!"

"Governor Xu Mingyang slapped the High Priest of Haimu City, and he did not even dare to let out a fart! That was so satisfying!"

"This is the difference between a true Huagai Realm expert and a fake one."

"If we did this every day, I would not even want to be a governor anymore, haha!"

"Following the Governor, we are so powerful when we band together!"

"Finally, we do not have to live those suffocating days from before."

"I say! After the new dynasty is established, let us first destroy Haixing, then destroy Chilin, and permanently resolve these two thorns in our side!"

"I agree with Commander-in-Chief Gao Jing's suggestion!"

"Why wait for a new dynasty? His Majesty the Emperor of the new dynasty is here, and with so many elites present, are we not the new dynasty? If it were up to me, as soon as we come out of the Divine Ruins, we should trample over every major city in Haixing Kingdom!"

"Keep your voice down; the Governor has to make the final call on this."

Governor Xu Mingyang was not without pride. "Your ambitions are commendable, but there is no rush for this."

"The most urgent priority is still the Divine Ruins."

"Even with me here, the Divine Ruins remain filled with hidden dangers, so you must not be careless."

Having said this, Governor Xu Mingyang descended first, arriving at a coastal cliff.

The others followed, landing one after another, and he suddenly asked Xu Chaoyang.

"Chaoyang, did you send someone named Wei Jian to deliver a message to me a few days ago? He claimed to be the sixth son of the Wei Family."

"Wei Jian!"

Xu Chaoyang was shocked. "Father, Wei Jian was harmed by a villain previously, becoming crippled, and has been missing for many days! How could I possibly have sent him to deliver a letter to you?"

Governor Xu Mingyang snorted. "I suspected as much!"

Xu Chaoyang immediately pressed, "Father, what did that person look like?"

"A very young man, half a head taller than you, wearing a mask. He did possess some strange and peculiar abilities, but his own strength was too poor, merely at the level of Qi Manipulation."

"Was he wearing a golden mask!"

"That is right. It seems you know him."

"Father, that is Tang Long! He found you two days ago? What happened afterwards? Where is he?"

Governor Xu Mingyang realized. "So he was Tang Long. Since I saw through him, I naturally killed him on the spot, smashing him to pieces along with a small hill. The place is not far from here."

Then he turned his gaze toward the three men including Liu Zhiming and sneered. "I heard this Tang Long is some Reincarnation of the Saint. The Songcheng Sect treated him like a treasure!"

"Under the indulgence of Jiang Yueyu, he caused quite a bit of trouble for my son, is that right?"

"If I had known it was him, I would have devoured his Soul like University Scholar Zong Liangchen did, instead of slapping him to death."

"What a waste."

The three bishops of the Songcheng Sect turned pale, everyone feeling both suffocated and terrified.

Tang Long was the hope of the Songcheng Sect. Although they had not communicated with Tang Long on this trip to the Divine Ruins, they were still unwilling to offend him.

They had originally planned to explain things properly after returning.

But now... Tang Long is dead?

No wonder he had been completely silent for the past two days; they could not find his tracks through any channels.

Tang Long had Gods Blessing and could resurrect; they were all aware of this.

But under what circumstances he could resurrect was hard to say.

After all, this was a Huagai Realm expert; is it possible... that Tang Long has been completely killed?

More importantly, does Governor Xu Mingyang mentioning this now mean he intends to make an issue of it? If so, the three of them are in danger!

In this group, there were others who were equally shocked to hear the news of Tang Long's death.

There were also others who could not help but gloat.

Commander-in-Chief Gao Jing was the first to kick a man when he was down. "Governor, this Tang Long was quite something before."

"Not only did he pass the trial of the Gate of Heavens Legacy and receive the adulation of the Imperial Academy, the Songcheng Sect, and the military, but he was also conferred the title of Royal Knight."

"I heard he previously went to Feng City and helped the Fengcheng Sect wipe out the Blasphemers in Feng City!"

"Your Madam Wei, Governor Xu Mingyang, had her identity as a Sun Worshiper exposed by him, which caused quite an embarrassing situation."

"And his brother-in-law, Wei Zhuang, was also tricked to death by this person. Bishop Wei was present at the time, and Yun Zhuoyue did the deed."

"His brother-in-law, 2nd Division Commander Wei Jun, was forced to resign from his position as Deputy Head of the Academic Affairs Department."

Governor Xu Mingyang glared at Wei Ye and sneered. "The Wei Family is really going downhill, actually being played in circles by such a brat."

"A hen that does not lay eggs, plus a bunch of big and small good-for-nothings."

"Chaoyang, this matter cannot be delayed. Once we return, divorce Wei Mingzhu and propose to the Jiang Family!"

Xu Chaoyang's face twitched slightly. "Father, I am already working on this. To avoid the Jiang Family being uncooperative, I will have someone detain that girl from the Jiang Family first."

"Hmph! That is more like it!"

As Governor Xu Mingyang spoke, he pointed to the sea. "The Divine Ruins are right here!"

"Five or six hundred meters below the sea surface, there is a giant sea beast!"

"The Songcheng Sect, the Fengcheng Sect, and Ritual Master Yu Hai, you few take the lead and go down!"

Liu Zhiming, Lv Yang, Wei Ye, Guo Mo, and Ren Jianwen—these five bishops were very helpless, but they could not voice any complaints.

But Ritual Master Yu Hai was implicated for no reason, and remembering how he had been played by Tang Long, he could not help but curse bitterly under his breath.

"Damn Tang Long! Even after death, he still causes trouble for others!"

However, he still had to honestly leap off the cliff, diving into the sea one after another with the other figures.

Not long after, the sea surged wildly, and strange whirlpools and waves began to rage and swirl.

The originally clear seawater quickly became turbid, revealing a grayish-green color and a pungent, fishy odor.

A few more minutes passed, and the sea churned even more violently, with everyone's faces showing expressions of gravity.

Although those few were not favored by Governor Xu Mingyang, they were, after all, one Peak Spirit Map and five mid-stage Spirit Maps!

This fighting force was definitely not weak!

And the commotion on the sea surface was growing, indicating that the battle was rising, which meant they were fighting while retreating.

Therefore, these six great experts were actually faintly losing against the so-called sea beast!

This situation could not help but make the others alert.

But Governor Xu Mingyang snorted heavily again. "Useless, simply useless! Can you not even take down a beast! Governor Huang Weiyi, take your men down and help!"

Governor Huang Weiyi agreed and dived into the sea, his few subordinates immediately following suit.

However, this time, not even two minutes had passed before a figure was blasted into the air like a cannonball, and their entire left leg had frozen into a large block of ice.

When he reached the highest point, the ice block burst open with a bang.

Although the leg did not completely disappear, it was a mess of mangled flesh and blood, spraying red everywhere.

And at this moment, a huge tentacle as thick as several people's embrace suddenly shot out from the sea, stabbing directly at that person.

Seeing that he had no strength to dodge, the man was full of horror.

Governor Xu Mingyang roared and swung a white light slash, instantly severing the tip of the huge tentacle.

Only then did the man hurriedly retreat to the shore, his clothes in tatters, with multiple wounds on his left leg visible to the bone.

"Governor... I... I am sorry, that thing..."

Governor Xu Mingyang completely ignored him and immediately ordered again, "Governor Gao Gong, take your men up too!"

"Yes!"

Governor Gao Gong agreed and took his eight subordinates into the sea again.

This time, the surging of the sea slowly subsided, but a large whirlpool formed, with spiritual light flashing sporadically beneath it.

However, the combat power of this sea beast was already terrifying enough.

That was nearly twenty Spirit Maps thrown into the battle one after another before they could barely suppress it.

And at this moment, on the nearby seabed, Zheng Buyuan was peeking at the battle situation above, also looking completely confused.

"Is this big guy a bit ridiculously powerful?"

"The ability it has to freeze people is definitely a power at the Huagai Realm level."

"And this thing is like a mountain, its skin and flesh are extremely thick armor; ordinary attacks are just scratching an itch for it."

"Its thousands of tentacles can be soft or hard; it could easily handle a hundred people."

"Does it still need my help?"
