508: The grand scene of the sea creatures

Xu Yanran retracted her focus and ordered, "Build alert devices along the coastline to prevent any sneak attacks from the Sea Race behind us!"

"Yes!" Teng Yi replied quickly.

"All soldiers, clean up the battlefield as quickly as possible. Do not leave any hidden dangers behind!"

"Yes!"

"By the way, what about those two Nanyue convoys that came from Linhai City? And where are the Daming citizens they relocated?" Xu Yanran suddenly remembered this matter and asked quickly.

Teng Yi was taken aback upon hearing this and said uncertainly, "It seems I saw some war vehicles driving into the battlefield earlier, but the dust was too thick, and they disappeared quickly..."

"Oh? Let me ask!" Xu Yanran took out her phone and quickly contacted Long Yuan.

"Rest assured, Commander, they have already placed those citizens inside the city!" Long Yuan said.

"I see! Then they should be in the city right now, right? They performed the greatest service this time; I must host them properly!" Xu Yanran said happily.

"There's no need for hosting! They have already entered the sea and will head south after a while, scouting the situation of the Sea Race along the way while also participating in the battle on the Southern Yue side," Long Yuan said.

"What? They entered the sea?!" Xu Yanran exclaimed in shock, feeling uneasy. The two convoys had actually entered the Domain of the Sea Race; that was no laughing matter.

Master Qing Yuan, Liu Xihe, Sect Leader of Kunlun Sect, Daoist Master Tianyi, Great Master Zhishen, Tang Zhenye, and the others all widened their eyes in disbelief upon hearing this. Although the Sea Race had been soundly defeated, the ocean was their home turf. The high degree of danger in entering the sea at this time went without saying.

"It's fine, they just want to capture more of the Sea Race for research; nothing will happen to them!" Long Yuan said nonchalantly.

"Research the Sea Race? Are you sure they will be fine?!" Xu Yanran asked emphatically.

"They will be! Alright, we might be facing the true main force of the Sea Race on our side. That's all for now, talk later!" Long Yuan hung up the phone after speaking.

Xu Yanran's expression changed upon hearing this. She exchanged glances with Master Qing Yuan and the others, feeling anxious. However, since Long Yuan had already hung up, she felt it inappropriate to call back. After thinking for a moment, she decided to contact Xu Chuanwei directly.

However, because Xu Chuanwei's identity was classified, she only sent a message to inquire. Soon, Xu Chuanwei replied: "It is indeed the main force of the Sea Race! But I see that Long Yuan seems quite confident; he should be able to handle it!"

Seeing Xu Yanran receive the message, Master Qing Yuan couldn't help but ask, "How is the situation over there?"

Xu Yanran's expression turned slightly grave as she said, "The focus of the Sea Race's attack is actually on Nanyue Base, but Long Yuan seems very confident!"

"Is that so?!" Everyone was stunned!

If so many powerful beings of the Sea Race appeared here at Shanhai Pass, then the number of powerful beings of the Sea Race over at Southern Yue was likely unimaginable. There might even be Spirit Beasts that surpassed the Martial King level!

"Is Long Yuan truly confident?" Great Master Zhishen suddenly asked.

Xu Yanran nodded and said, "My informant did indeed say so!"

"Amitabha! This old monk intends to go to Southern Yue to take a look and will not stay here any longer!" After saying this, Great Master Zhishen turned and drifted away...

Everyone watched in astonishment as Great Master Zhishen left just like that, falling into silence for a moment...

However, Great Master Zhishen was an expert living outside the secular world, so the authorities naturally could not control his actions. He could go wherever he wanted, but everyone had not expected him to leave so decisively.

Liu Xihe, Sect Leader of Kunlun Sect and Daoist Master Tianyi exchanged a look, bowed to everyone, and turned to head south as well...

"They left too?!" The remaining people looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

But these two did not belong to the official System, so no one could stop them if they wanted to leave. Moreover, in Xu Yanran's view, she actually hoped that someone from Shanhai Pass would go to support Nanyue Base. Although this would greatly increase the difficulty of defending Shanhai Pass, they had previously turned the situation around with the help of the Nanyue convoys. Now that Southern Yue was in trouble, it would be unjustifiable if they didn't show any support. So, she gritted her teeth and said, "Them going to support Southern Yue is what I had in mind too. I hope Nanyue Base can win in this confrontation!"

Master Qing Yuan also wanted to go to Southern Yue to take a look. His Qilu Academy did not belong to the official System either, so he could have left just like Great Master Zhishen and the others. But as the military advisor for Shanhai Pass, his responsibilities were significant, so he felt embarrassed to leave at this time. He could only stroke his beard and say, "Rest assured, I have faith in Long Yuan!!!"

"Really?!" Xu Yanran asked in surprise.

"Indeed! Long Yuan helped us win a great victory with just two convoys, and we didn't even need to use many of the heavy weapons we prepared before the battle. One could say his efficiency was extremely high! If Nanyue Base possessed several such convoys, they wouldn't have to fear no matter how many of the Sea Race came!" Master Qing Yuan analyzed.

"But what if the Sea Race possesses a Martial Saint?" Xu Yanran hesitated.

"A Martial Saint? If there really is a Martial Saint, I'm afraid it would be useless even if we all went. So, let us first properly defend Shanhai Pass and quietly wait for news from over there!" Master Qing Yuan sighed.

"It seems that is all we can do..." Xu Yanran nodded in deep agreement.

Everyone looked to the south. Everyone felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on their hearts, and the joy of victory from just moments ago was greatly dampened by this news...

In the camp at Southern Yue City, there were even more people gathered now. Besides Qi Xuming, Geng Nanfeng, Xu Chuanzhong, and the others from before, the two Martial Kings, Xu Chuanwei and Xu Chuanxin, who had rushed over from Shanhai Pass to provide support, had also arrived. Additionally, there were the Third Elder Xu Guanghu and the Sixth Elder Xu Guanghai. At the same time, multiple Elders from the Geng Family and the Qi Family had also arrived here, bringing the total number of people to over twenty!

Long Yuan felt a bit overwhelmed by this scene. Fortunately, these three super families could be considered his supporting forces, so exposing some small secrets in front of them was no big deal.

Everyone stared intently at the huge light screen in front of them, which displayed the situation of the Sea Race at sea. The aura revealed just from the images made people feel incredibly oppressed; many people in the tent found it difficult to even breathe!

The sky was covered by a dense mass of Sea Fowl, while the sea surface was teeming with groups of massive sea beasts, along with countless small, shapeless sea beasts. Among them, groups of Sea Race powerful beings who had taken human form were advancing through the air. Some were flying, some were walking on the waves, and some were standing on the backs of large sea beasts, advancing with ease...

Under the surveillance of the Heavenly Eye, everything about the Sea Race had nowhere to hide, including the area dozens of miles underwater. Such a grand scene made everyone feel terrified, while also being incredibly shocked by Long Yuan's methods. Because according to Long Yuan, the Sea Race was still about a day away from Southern Yue, yet their forces were already completely exposed before everyone's eyes...
