211: Chapter 211 A Dominator-Level Battle in the Sea!

At the same time.

Qingzhou City Extraordinary Affairs Bureau, Command Center.

On the giant screen wall, the needles of the energy detection instruments were fluctuating wildly.

Red warning lights flashed incessantly, and a piercing alarm echoed through the enclosed space.

"Report! Abnormal energy fluctuations have been detected in the direction of Linyuan Village again!"

A young technician abruptly stood up, his voice trembling.

"Moreover, the energy level this time is even higher than before, having reached the Dominator Level!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire room erupted into an uproar.

"What?!"

"Linyuan Village again?"

"And it's Dominator Level?!"

Everyone present gasped simultaneously, their faces instantly turning pale.

"What on earth is going on? Last time it was an energy fluctuation close to the Dominator Level, and this time a Dominator Level power has actually appeared directly? What exactly happened over at Linyuan Village?"

"How long has it even been? How could existences of that level appear near our Qingzhou City one after another?"

Discussions rose and fell, everyone's eyes filled with terror and disbelief.

Director Han Zhen stood in front of the command console, his face grim, his fists clenched so tightly they creaked.

He took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "What about the exact location? Is it still inside Linyuan Village?"

The technician hurriedly operated the console a few times, and the screen switched to a real-time satellite surveillance feed.

"Report, Director! This fluctuation did not originate from within Linyuan Village, but from the sea area near Linyuan Village, deep on the seabed!"

"The seabed?" Han Zhen's brow furrowed even deeper. "What is going on?"

At this moment, a veteran agent frowned and said in a low voice, "Do you think it could be that new master of Linyuan Village again this time?"

Hearing this, the surrounding people turned to look at him one after another.

The veteran agent continued:

"Didn't the brothers who went to visit last time say so? That new master is accompanied by a Catastrophe Level Necromancer. With just a guard possessing such strength, he himself is highly likely to be a true Dominator Level existence."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present:

"In that case, could the one fighting on the seabed right now be this lord?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the command center fell into a brief silence.

The agents who returned from Linyuan Village earlier had indeed reported exactly that.

That new master of Linyuan Village was accompanied by a Catastrophe Level Necromancer as a guard, his strength unfathomable, and was highly likely to be a true Dominator Level existence.

So, is the one fighting on the seabed right now indeed this new master of Linyuan Village?

What is he doing now?

And what on earth is he fighting against?

People could not understand.

But there was one thing they could be sure of: this lord would absolutely not take action without reason.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze.

People looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and unease.

To make a Dominator Level powerhouse take action personally, and deep in the sea at that, what on earth could it be?

For a moment, everyone present grew restless.

Dominator Level powerhouses, who were once hard to come by in a hundred years, were now appearing near Qingzhou City one after another.

Moreover, each time was accompanied by an earth-shaking battle.

No one could say for sure what was hidden behind all this.

Standing in front of the screen, Han Zhen listened to his subordinates' discussions, his brow furrowing deeper and deeper.

He remained silent for a moment before finally raising his hand to quiet the crowd's discussions:

"Alright, stop guessing blindly."

"An existence of that level is not for us to speculate about. Our current priority is to report the situation here to the General Bureau and, at the same time, strengthen our monitoring of the harbor's sea area."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, his tone grave but carrying a hint of helplessness:

"In any case, based on our previous contact, this new master of Linyuan Village is at least on the side of the Human Race."

"We can only pray that the new master of Linyuan Village emerges victorious."

His voice echoed in the command center, speaking the innermost thoughts of everyone present.

...

...

And it wasn't just the Qingzhou City Extraordinary Affairs Bureau.

At the same time, the streets of Linyuan Town were also in utter chaos.

The fishermen, who had been drying their fishing nets, stopped their work one after another.

They raised their heads in terror, looking in the direction of the harbor.

The ground beneath their feet vibrated slightly, and towering waves surged on the distant sea.

Even from such a distance, they could clearly feel that suffocating, terrifying sense of oppression.

"It—it's here again! It's this feeling again!"

A young townsperson's face was deathly pale, his voice trembling.

"The battle last time felt just like this! I'll never forget that terrifying sense of oppression for the rest of my life!"

The surrounding townsfolk were also filled with terror.

They recalled the previous battle at the ancestral hall; that earth-shattering fight was still fresh in their memories.

Though they didn't know what level of battle it was, the world-destroying commotion had been deeply engraved in everyone's hearts.

Now, that feeling was back.

And it seemed to be out at sea, over by the harbor.

The elderly Master Chen had originally been organizing documents in the Administrative Center.

He suddenly felt that terrifying energy fluctuation, and the documents in his hand dropped to the ground with a smack.

His expression instantly became grave. He stood up, walked to the window, and stared intently in the direction of the harbor.

"What is going on? Such a powerful energy fluctuation..."

He closed his eyes, sensing carefully for a moment, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

"It's actually in that direction... Could it be that fellow... No, impossible. There is clearly a Seal at the harbor; he shouldn't be able to get close."

Master Chen's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

He recalled the terrifying pressure released by that The Successors in the restaurant that day, which was still fresh in his memory.

No, if it's him, it doesn't seem impossible after all.

What on earth is he doing now?

At this moment, several townsfolk stumbled into the Administrative Center, their faces filled with panic:

"Master Chen! This is bad! There's a huge commotion over at the harbor! Towering waves are rising on the sea! What should we do?"

Master Chen remained silent for a moment, then slowly turned around, his cloudy eyes sweeping over everyone present.

"It seems our plan must also be accelerated."

His voice carried an unquestionable decisiveness.

Hearing this, the surrounding townsfolk looked at one another. A hint of hesitation flashed in their eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

"Master Chen is right, we can't drag this out any longer."

"We have waited generation after generation; we cannot wait any longer."

Master Chen nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Go notify everyone to prepare to set up the Formation. We must complete the ritual as soon as possible."

"Yes!" several townsfolk answered in unison, turning and quickly leaving.

Quiet returned to the Administrative Center once again.

Standing by the window, Master Chen looked at the turbulent sea in the distance, a flicker of complexity passing through his cloudy eyes.

"Lord of the Deep Sea above... please protect us..."

He muttered to himself, his voice so low it was almost inaudible.

Outside the window, the sea wind howled and the waves surged.

Above the town, undercurrents surged.
