306: Chapter 306 Beast Tide Eruption

Chen Lixuan nodded. In this way, Sihai Island had four Foundation Establishment Cultivators, two of whom were in the Middle Stage. With this kind of strength, it was enough to defend Sihai Island; as long as they did not encounter a Tier 3 Yao Beast, there wouldn't be much of a problem.

Before leaving, Chen Changxuan took out all the Tier 3 Talismans previously given by Chen Changqing, along with several Tier 2 Top-Grade Talismans, and handed them all to Chen Lixuan.

With these Talismans, even if Sihai Island encountered a Tier 2 High Grade Yao Beast, it could be resolved.

A month passed, and the sea surface remained calm. Many people gradually began to relax. If it weren't for the fact that the entire sea area of Hanguo had heard that loud noise, many people would have thought they were dreaming.

The Chen Family and the Yu Family also reorganized their personnel. This time, each Family would prepare thousands of Mortals to migrate to Sihai Island together.

Besides over ten thousand Mortals, this time they also organized over a hundred Cultivators to go together.

Sihai Island occupied an area of two to three hundred li in radius. Without counting Cultivators, just speaking of Mortals, it could accommodate at least one hundred thousand people.

Another month passed, and their over ten thousand Mortals finally migrated to Sihai Island.

The tens of thousands of Mortals lived in separate areas rather than mixing together, mainly to ensure the purity of the Bloodline of the Mortals under the four families. After all, for every cultivation Family, Bloodline Legacy came first.

With Mortals living on Sihai Island, it immediately became lively. However, the restrictions placed on them by the Cultivators were not small; they had to live on the outer periphery of the island and were not allowed to approach the marketplace and Spiritual Vein without authorization.

Of course, if a beast tide occurred in the sea area, these Mortals would not need to participate in the battle and could receive protection from the Cultivators.

Unless more than half of the Cultivators died in battle, it would never be their turn.

...

On this day, the sea area was still calm and tranquil, and everyone had forgotten the heaven-shaking loud noise from the depths of the sea two months ago.

Several Foundation Establishment Cultivators who had teamed up to hunt Yaos in the sea had just slain a Tier 2 High Grade turtle Yao and were planning to find an island to distribute the Materials on the spot and recover their magic power. However, one of them felt something in his heart, glanced toward the east, and widened his eyes in shock.

The other Foundation Establishment Cultivators also noticed his abnormality and looked together in the direction of his gaze. This look directly filled several of them with terror.

"That is...?"

They saw that at an unknown distance away from them, a figure that blotted out the sky rushed from the sea surface into the sky, instantly plunging the entire heaven and earth into darkness.

...

"Major trouble! Countless sea Yaos are emerging from the sea surface and attacking various islands."

On Sihai Island, Chen Lingyang said to Chen Lixuan and Yu Hongyuan.

"What?" The two were shocked.

"Second Uncle, is it true?" Chen Lixuan stepped forward, his eyes solemn as he spoke.

"Mn." Chen Lingyang nodded.

"Furthermore, quite a few islands have been breached, and even Feixian Island has been occupied by sea Yaos." Speaking up to this point, his tone became a bit heavier.

"Feixian Island?" The two were shocked.

Feixian Island was jointly established by several Purple Mansion forces in Hanguo, and most of the time, it had two Purple Mansion Masters presiding over it. Within the sea area occupied by Hanguo, it was likely surpassed only by the islands established by a few other Golden Core forces in Hanguo.

Yet, even with two Purple Mansion Masters presiding, it was ultimately breached.

"Then what should we do next?" Yu Hongyuan asked. Even with the steady state of mind he had cultivated for nearly two hundred years, it vanished like smoke at this moment.

"Right now, that group of sea Yaos is not only attacking the sea area occupied by Hanguo, but even Yang Prefecture of Medicine King Valley and Ying Province over at Yan Country have suffered.

No sea Yaos have come to the sea area where we currently are yet, and Jiayi Sect is also standing at the front, so the problem is not too big for now. It's just that we probably can't retreat even if we want to; once we retreat, the territories behind our families will definitely be implicated." Chen Lingyang frowned and slowly recounted.

The two looked at each other and nodded.

"As for whether Jiayi Sect will make all four of your families send Cultivators to guard Jiayi Island next, it's hard to say. However, since Seventh Uncle deterred them back then, even if they summon you, it won't be too excessive."

Chen Lixuan and the other agreed with this.

Jiayi Sect was merely a Sect with only one Purple Mansion Master. Not to mention in Yan Country, it wasn't considered very strong even in Hanguo.

Furthermore, after experiencing several major battles, Jiayi Sect also suffered heavy casualties among its Cultivators. Nowadays, even Foundation Establishment Cultivators numbered less than thirty. If not for this, their territory wouldn't be close to the edge of Bing Prefecture.

Perhaps decades or even a hundred years later, Jiayi Sect could recover its Origin Qi, but the Chen Family at that time would only be stronger than now.

The reason Chen Lingyang dared to make such an assertion was precisely because, besides Seventh Uncle and Seventh Aunt, there were also Chen Lingxi and Chen Lingtong within the Family.

Chen Lingxi was bound to enter the Purple Mansion, and Chen Lingtong's chances were not small either.

By then, Seventh Uncle and Seventh Aunt would return, and both Chen Lingxi and Chen Lingtong would have broken through to the Zifu Stage. Their Chen Family would then be a Purple Mansion Family possessing four Purple Mansion Cultivators.

Not to mention in Taihe Prefecture, even in Cang Prefecture or Yan Country, there were very few forces that dared to provoke the Chen Family.

Speaking of which, it had been more than six years, and Seventh Uncle and the others still hadn't returned. Who knew what their situation was like right now.

Another month passed, and Jiayi Island was besieged by sea Yaos. Jiayi Sect immediately activated countermeasures and instructed the Foundation Establishment families under its command to dispatch Foundation Establishment Cultivators to provide support. However, among the mobilized families, the Chen Family and the others were not included.

It was precisely because of this that Chen Lingyang and the others were able to defend Sihai Island. The other Foundation Establishment families like them, however, because their Foundation Establishment Cultivators were transferred away, found that the remaining Qi Refining Cultivators simply could not defend the marketplaces they had established in the sea area.

In the end, these Cultivators and Mortals perished together with their marketplaces.

"Hiss!"

Chen Lixuan stood in mid-air and slashed down with a sword, instantly tearing apart a dozen or so Tier 1 sea Yaos.

After he made his move, quite a few sea Yaos launched attacks at him.

These sea Yaos came in all shapes and sizes. Some were humanoid, with aqua-blue skin everywhere except for their white bellies. They had long mouths like crocodiles, black-and-white pupils, and a pair of fish fins growing near their ears.

There were also fish-like Yaos resembling carp, except they had two long dragon whiskers and a body size far larger than ordinary Mortal carp.

When these sea Yaos attacked simultaneously, even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would not dare to be arrogant.

Therefore, Chen Lixuan immediately retreated, stepping out of their attack range. By the way, with a casual slash of his sword, he killed another dozen or so sea Yaos, but the ones he killed had little impact on the sea Yaos besieging Sihai Island.

Yu Hongyuan followed closely behind. However, after he made his moves a few times and slaughtered over a hundred Tier 1 sea Yaos, he was targeted by a Tier 2 sea Yao.

Seeing this, he engaged in a fierce battle with this sea Yao.

Inside the Formation, those Qi Refining Cultivators cooperated with the Formation to continuously attack the sea Yaos outside.

It was just that the number of sea Yaos was too large, and Sihai Island was resisting with great difficulty.

As for Chen Lingyang and Ning Qingluo, they were in seclusion practicing quietly in the Tier 2 Immortal Cave on Sihai Island. The two of them needed to maintain their condition at their Peak at all times to deal with any possible situations ahead.
