Chapter 1267: Chapter 773_2
The personnel of the Cultivation World will also suffer significant losses in terms of resources and personnel in this battle. By the time the Eastern Demons make their move, they will have more opportunities to exterminate humans!
The vast sea islands, the expansive land, will become the territory of the Eastern Demons!
The idea was very beautiful, yet three days ago, the Eastern Demon King leaked the news while trying to seize resources. The Eastern Demon King, considered a wise leader, was captured, which led to the exposure of their secret passage and base!
The Eastern Demons had never thought that they, who had always followed the sage’s orders, who always believed him to be a cunning and trustworthy king, would bring them such disaster due to greed for resources!
The Eastern Demons lurking in the sea were still unaware that their Eastern Demon King had been captured. Their conscience had already turned them into traitors!
They couldn’t open the secret passage, and what awaited them in the future was only death!
The Eastern Demons dared not barge in. These intelligence personnel who came here had limited abilities and few in number. They were self-aware that they couldn’t open the Illusion Realm and couldn’t rescue the personnel inside.
They could only lurk here, waiting for an opportunity. This waiting was a real test of psychological endurance. These Eastern Demons originally lacked patience, feeling quite irritable yet having to hold back their temper!
“Look, what are those?” As the Huang Family People, waiting for the chance to enter the inner perimeter, they discovered more skulking black-clad figures on the sea surface!
“Like people, but not people!” Another member of the Huang Family, with good eyesight, could clearly see far out on the sea in the dim moonlight, reflecting off the water at night.
“No matter about others, we just need to pay attention to our own safety and not cause trouble for ourselves!”
“What if they’re pirates? We’d better be cautious!”
Spring had already arrived, bringing warmth and blooming flowers. Although the seawater was a bit cold, it was already better than the cold winter.
While Luo Yaxuan was patrolling with his junior sister, they too discovered not only creatures but also people on the outskirts!
This sea island was surrounded by vast oceans on all sides, with passing ships and Magical Treasures hovering above the sea or flying in the sky!
As long as they did not intentionally enter the inner perimeter, approaching the sea island, they only inspected the passing ships and people on the sea without interfering.
Lai Jianlin and Ding Ling, along with several other companions, were patrolling an area where an incident took place. A woman, dressed seductively, was on the outskirts, outside the sea island, crying on a boat.
“Father, mother, where are you? Why can’t your daughter see you? Wuuu, why can’t I get in? Where is the sea island?”
She seemed like a lost woman, a solitary woman crying on a ship. Her ship wasn’t big, having a cabin to shelter from wind and rain, visible living quarters for eating and sleeping. It was a sturdy fishing boat.
As the woman cried, whether in the sky or nearby, passersby or those lingering could see, some sympathized, others watched for entertainment. Gradually, a crowd began to gather!
The sea island ahead, regardless of whether someone came or went to do business there, remained invisible under the Illusion Realm.
Even if they couldn’t find the sea island, marks existed on the outskirts. Though the island was invisible, they couldn’t access it, detecting, or finding it!
Someone had already asked, and inside the island, no one could enter or exit, only stay outside unless matters inside concluded.
The woman cried for help, and not a few people came to comfort her, including some men!
The woman, seemingly without companions, pitiably sought aid. Her sympathetic gaze stirred a protective instinct in some men!
“Miss, don’t cry. The island has been officially sealed off. People inside can neither enter nor exit. We’re here waiting too.”
“Miss, why are you crying? There should be food and drink inside. Or, miss, are you out of food and drink?”
Some people continuously comforted or questioned her, sounding quite nosy,
The woman, pitiably facing the men who gathered around, indeed looked pitiful, prompting empathy in some of the men: “Wuuu, where could I get fish? I wanted to sell it to a restaurant. Without selling fish, I can’t make money for my parents’ medicine. What should I do? My parents are sick!”
The woman’s pitiful state attracted a lot of men’s attention and stirred their interest!
The woman was not unaware of the lewd gazes from some men, yet continued crying, observing the men surrounding her were merely ordinary Martial Artists.
These men didn’t look wealthy or capable. She was waiting for someone with ability, especially those patrolmen she’d seen before!
The target individuals had yet to appear, but she managed to attract someone willing to buy her fish and pay her!
This man had a condition to the purchase, requesting the woman to cook for him each meal, sharing food with him.
The woman saw the man was somewhat good-looking, matching the other men’s leering eyes, though more handsome than others!
Tearfully, she reluctantly said, “Sir, if you buy the fish, thank you. I agree to cook two meals for you, but I have no other food to cook for you!”
“Hahaha, I have ingredients here. As long as you help cook, it’s fine. I’ll pay you as thanks!” The man laughed cheerfully as the woman agreed.
“Hey, hey, hey, how can you do this? Miss, don’t believe him.”
“Yeah, yeah, I can help too, miss. Let me assist you!”
The woman agreed with another man, leaving others agitated for being too slow to act, their voices quite noisy!
This involved only a portion of the people, as some were unhappy, speaking noisily, but not yet causing a fight.
Perhaps the woman was too enchanting, with her alluring figure, pitiful expression, and beautiful face attracting many men. Yet this was only a fraction!
Lai Jianlin and his team were watching from nearby, using Divine Sense, ready to intervene if these people got into mischief or a fight!
“Senior brother, that woman!!” Ding Ling, also being a woman, felt some sympathy, and pity towards the woman showed in her expression!
Lai Jianlin was observing and discussing with his brothers, unmoved by compassion!
“Junior sister, look closely at that woman. Although that man is an ordinary Cultivator, the woman’s identity is suspicious. Don’t let her disguise fool you!”
Lai Jianlin had long discerned that the woman was merely a Fox Demon in disguise. He held back from capturing her or foiling her wicked plan right away!
He permitted an investigation to see if that seductive woman, the Fox Demon’s disguise, was indeed associated with the other Eastern Demons on the sea island!
The address she mentioned would be checked to see if there was truly a household there?
Perhaps the woman casually mentioned the address to elicit sympathy, attempting to have them open that Array!
Hearing her senior brother’s words, realizing the woman was a Fox Demon, Ding Ling embarrassedly blushed over failing to see through her guise!
“Senior brother, I’m sorry, I didn’t see her true nature and nearly caused a major mistake!”
Lai Jianlin smiled and shook his head: “Her ability is strong; it’s normal you couldn’t see her true nature. I discerned it because of my Wood Spirit Root, enabling me to sense the aura on her!”
