novelYou Are Looking for the Sea God, It Has Nothing To Do With Me…
| ← Ch.222 | Ch.224 → |
In the seawater, Li Changshou continuously used Water Escape and headed for the ambush array set up by the paper effigy army.
It was a counter-attack where they besieged the other party.
Through some tricks like the paper fish, Li Changshou had already confirmed that there were about three hundred fish chasing after him and blocking him.
Among them were forty-two Heaven Immortals. The rest were all Perfected Immortals. Among the members of the Sea Clan, most of them were fish-headed creatures with human bodies.
What was more eye-catching were a few beautiful mermaids with alluring figures. Their thick fish lips were also smeared with bright-red-colored unknown ointments. They were slightly... exciting.
Li Changshou had already dodged the other party's interceptions several times.
Every time those people wanted to surround him, Li Changshou's Water Escape technique would suddenly speed up and he would be able to escape from their encirclement.
Unknowingly, Li Changshou had gone from the southeast to the southwest...
He had long been multitasking. The paper effigy army arrived at a deserted island in the East Ocean. After investigating the situation within a few thousand kilometers, the two paper effigies in charge of transporting, sent dozens of paper effigies that released poison and scattered beans, out to different areas. They would be reserved for later.
Li Changshou had already analyzed why he was stuck.
However, the most likely reason he could come up with was that he had been targeted by the Sea Clan rebellion forces...
Although he could not rule out the possibility that that was the Western Sect's plan to take revenge on him, it would be a little unreasonable if they only targeted his incarnation
Moreover, if the Western Sect really attacked, they only needed to arrange for a ferocious person in the Golden Immortal realm to ambush him. His incarnation would not be able to deal with it at all...
He felt that it was most likely that trouble arose because there were many people who addressed him as the Sea God, during the banquet at the Dragon Palace.
There was nothing he could do.
At that time, the people of the Heavenly Courts were at the side. If he concealed his identity, he would not be the "friendship bridge" between the dragon race and the Heavenly Courts.
Li Changshou gradually adjusted his Water Escape speed, giving his opponent the illusion that he had used some mystic technique to accelerate continuously.
At that moment, the effects of the secret technique had begun to fade. The Sea Clan rebels thought that their chance had arrived.
At that moment, the hundreds of figures within a radius of a thousand kilometers began their final encirclement...
Out of respect for the enemy, Li Changshou's thoughts raced wildly in his mind. He set up three tactics and six backups, and all his attention was used.
The six paper effigies had already made preparations to face the enemy. They scattered some colorless and odorless incapacitating agents that required a certain amount of time to take effect, into the sea area near the deserted island.
Then, Li Changshou's paper effigy incarnation, who had been targeted, "coincidentally" entered the enemy's ambush...
The battle in the sea had just begun. Li Changshou retreated immediately, not giving his opponent any chance to attack.
The few Sea Clan Heaven Immortals, who were adept at water battles, could not stop him for a moment.
This was the effect of continuously trying and pondering over the Water Escape technique back then!
There seemed to be nothing to be proud of. It was all because he was too poor and did not have any numinous treasures. He could only use his mystical abilities to make up for it.
A moment later, Li Changshou's paper effigy stood on the deserted island.
A vortex appeared on the surface of the sea surrounding the deserted island. Hundreds of figures approached from afar and surrounded them at the same time.
The other party's vigilance was extremely low. He did not notice anything unusual about that area, and he did not notice the dozens of paper effigies lurking at the bottom of the sea...
Li Changshou scanned his surroundings. There was not much immortal power left in that paper effigy. It was completely used for defending and protecting himself.
Hence, his cultivation level, which was at the early-stage of Heaven Immortal realm was revealed.
Most of the fish-men around them sneered and looked at the humans that were surrounded by them smugly...
When those Sea Clan members were chasing Li Changshou, they instantly suspected that the Sea God they ambushed and captured today was a loach from a large lake on land! However, they had finally surrounded that slippery fellow!
The ocean was their home ground!
At that moment, Li Changshou, who was surrounded by hundreds of Sea Clan members, frowned slightly. On the other side, the Sea Clan cultivators looked at Li Changshou with hatred.
It was as if Li Changshou had a feud with them and they had a grudge against him!
Most of the Sea Clan members in the Primordial World had human bodies and fish heads.
Only the merman race had the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish.
Their bodies were split into half-human and half-fish, right in the middle. If the Heavenly Dao did not allow it, they would definitely not exist. Li Changshou's heart was clear. His eyes were filled with fear. When he looked around, he looked slightly flustered.
When the Sea Clan surrounded him, Li Changshou asked coldly, "Fellow Daoists, what do you mean?"
"The Sea God of the South Ocean!"
A female Sea Clan member who was at the peak of the Heaven Immortal realm held a steel trident and shouted, "You helped the dragon race to bully the Sea Clan. You shall face your end today! Die!"
"Hold on!"
Li Changshou frowned and shouted softly. He calculated the time that the incapacitating agents would take effect in his heart and deduced if there was anyone hiding their cultivation level.
He secretly controlled the other paper effigy and secretly injected some essence soul poison into the aura of the fish-men.
To be safe, Li Changshou had to stall for some time so that the poison would be effective. He continued, "Since you're looking for the Sea God of the South Ocean, what does it have to do with me, the Daoist Sea Cucumber?"
"Daoist-Daoist Sea Cucumber?"
The female fishman was stunned. She frowned and said, "Aren't you the Sea God of the South Ocean?"
Li Changshou shrugged."Didn't you guys hear others calling me Sea Cucumber in the Dragon Palace? Did you mistake me for the Sea God? Logically speaking, I've seen the Sea God of the South Ocean before. He's a kind-looking senior. He's completely different from me. I'm not using any illusions or trickery, so I definitely can't fool you guys, right?"
"Huh?"
A few fishmen at the peak of the Heaven Immortal realm looked at each other with suspicion in their eyes.
Could they have made a mistake?
A fishman said, "I'd rather kill the wrong person than let him off."
"That's right! The humans are as despicable as the dragons! Don't let this person off!'
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
They really believed that nonsense?
Although Li Changshou had already known that the Sea Clan did not have much intelligence or wisdom, and were innocent, he did not expect them to be that naive!
They are indeed the fishes that were tricked by the Western Sect!
Life in the ocean is definitely much more comfortable than on the shore. No wonder so many people chose to go to the ocean in their previous life...
Ahem. I've gone off track.
Li Changshou frowned and said, "Everyone, there's a saying in the human race that it's best not to make enemies. You guys besieged me today but I can pretend that nothing happened. However, if you really attack me, you will definitely suffer and have revenge taken against you. Moreover, this revenge will come very quickly."
"Hmph! We aren't even afraid of the dragon race. Why would we be afraid of you!?!"
The female fishman who was in charge shouted coldly. Her pair of fish eyes emitted a strange glow as she shouted, "Stop talking to him! Kill him!"
"In the future!"
A sea clan general with a pair of huge hands jumped onto the edge of the deserted island from the sea and immediately attacked Li Changshou. Li Changshou did not hesitate. He took two steps back and suddenly raised his hand to press it down.
He shouted, "Thousand Poison Soul-Extinguishing Hand!"
A thick wisp of green smoke flew out of Li Changshou's sleeve. It was condensed into the shape of a huge palm by an immortal force. It then covered the crab general.
As if facing a formidable enemy, the other party opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of thick ink...
He did not know if the crab general's master was Daoist Squid but his mystical ability really contaminated the environment. The thick ink instantly spread out and surged like waves, covering the thick smoke that Li Changshou had sent out. It began surging towards Li Changshou!
Li Changshou retreated quickly, but most of his attention was on controlling the six paper effigies in the sea.
The poisonous effects were taking place. It was almost perfect!
Without warning, the crab general who was spewing ink suddenly burped. His head shook and he suddenly fell to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the figures standing on the surface of the sea fell towards the sea.
The few other Sea Clan members, who had higher cultivation levels, were also feeling dizzy and confused.
"What's going on!"
"This ocean is poisonous!"
"Oh no, we fell for it..."
In just two breaths, the hundreds of Sea Clan members standing on the surface of the sea either sank into the ocean or floated on the surface of the ocean. All of them were knocked out.
Poisoning was also a skill.
Li Changshou had immersed himself in that Dao for less than two hundred years. He had received guidance from a famous master and had some self-created poisoning ideas. He could barely be considered a senior scholar in the field of poisoning techniques in the Primordial World.
The key to poisoning many targets was to calculate the time for the poison to take effect according to the opponent's cultivation level, the strength of their essence souls, and resistance.
If one of them fell, the others would immediately be alerted and keep their guards up. They would then still have a chance to escape or take action in case of an emergency. The method of poisoning them would not be considered brilliant.
Li Changshou clapped his hands. It was done.
Should I kidnap them and take them to the Dragon Palace?
Li Changshou pondered for a while and wondered if he should drop that idea.
If that happened, there would be too many troubles in the future. There would also be the risk of exposing the poison that he used.
Immediately, Li Changshou raised his hand and put up a miniature array foundation to form an isolation array.
The spiritual energy consumption of such a large array was relatively slow, and the miniature array foundation could last for a while.
Li Changshou controlled the paper Daoists and began to get busy. On one hand, he cleansed the incapacitating agents in the seawater, and on the other, he poisoned them accurately. He killed the sea dwellers who were bewitched and incapacitated.
The corpses of the Sea Clan experts were quickly thrown onto the deserted island, piling up to form a small mountain.
Li Changshou had prepared more than forty paper effigies and three thousand poisonous bean soldiers...
He did not expect that the other party would not give him any chance to make a move. Thus, he laid down on the ground.
This time, it was better to go through the procedures.
He arranged for the three paper Daoists to go to the deserted island. He took out the wooden fish, Soul-Bewitching Bell, and the wooden stick and began to recite the Expiation Sutra, the Reincarnation Sutra, and some blessing incantations.
The two paper effigies decisively attacked and released waves of True Samadhi Flames that engulfed the corpses...
After a while, orange flames soared into the sky, and the corpse inside rapidly melted.
Four paper effigies crawled out of the sleeves of a paper Daoist. They began to blow the trumpets and play the drums. That was not specially prepared. It was a special musical orchestra that was specially used by the Heavenly Courts. They were there to make a guest appearance.
As the Sea Clan did not have the custom of burning paper money at graves, Li Changshou could skip the mourning and crying. He watched as the high-quality ingredients turned into ashes and scattered more than ten Soul-Bewitching Pearls to collect remnant souls.
From the start till the end, there was no emotion in his heart.
"I told you I'm Daoist Sea Cucumber."
Li Changshou shook his head. When the flames were extinguished, he raised his hand and sent the pile of ashes flying into the ocean.
The paper effigies had already gathered and split into two groups. Those who had abundant immortal energy along the way carried the poisonous bean soldiers to where they were hiding.
They then crawled back to the sleeve of Li Changshou's paper effigy and returned to Anshui City. Later, he would secretly send them back to the Immortal Du Sect...
Their immortal energy had to be charged.
Just as Li Changshou was about to kill the fish and offer the ash-scattering service... in front of the Dragon Palace's gate, a few elders and stewards of the World Edge Pavilion gathered around the dejected young Daoist. All of them persuaded him softly.
"Little Master, most of the guests have left. It's time for us to go back."
"We've asked around for you. Fellow Daoist Ke Le'er killed many sea demons in World Edge City previously. She was blamed by her parents and was grounded for a thousand years." "Where is Lele's home?"
"Little Master, the Dragon Palace is unwilling to tell us. We really cannot find out."
"Ah." Bian Zhuang let out a long sigh. His gaze was filled with emotions."The heavens and the earth have lasted for a long time, and time has passed. I hope the beauty will know the love I have for her. Why? Why did Lele's parents punish her? If they wanted to punish her, they should imprison me by her side. Even if it's three thousand years or thirty thousand years, I'm willing to wait...".
With a few snorts, the guests who had just left could not help but laugh. The stewards of the World Edge Pavilion looked awkward as they apologized to the people in their surroundings.
"Little Master, let's... let's go back first. Otherwise, it looks like the Dragon Palace will attack us."
Bian Zhuang remained unmoved.
"If you stay here, you really won't be able to find Fellow Daoist Ke Le'er!"
Bian Zhuang jumped up and grabbed an elder's arm. He whispered, "Uncle Fu, let's leave quickly."
The few of them did not know whether to laugh or cry. They hurriedly left the East Ocean Dragon Palace with Bian Zhuang.
The group of them quickly flew out of the sea and rode a treasure ship towards the ends of the world. What the World Edge Pavilion manager said was really not meant to scare Bian Zhuang.
The dragon race had already criticized Bian Zhuang. If it were not for His Highness Ao Yi's previous instructions, the experts of the dragon race would have already attacked and thrown that prodigal out of the Crystal Palace.
Bian Zhuang had been guarding the entire wedding at the entrance for twelve years!
Although his heart was determined, he was still annoying.
Previously, Bian Zhuang had the invitation to the Dragon Palace as an amulet. However, now that the wedding was over, the effect of the invitation was greatly reduced...
Finally, they did not encounter any difficulties with the dragon race. They successfully arrived near the magnificent heavenly pillar.
SUCU
The majestic and chaotic World Edge City was in sight. However, an elder frowned and raised his hand to make a gesture of stopping.
A figure flew over on a cloud in the distance. It was an old woman with white hair.
Bian Zhuang suddenly became excited and shouted, "It's Lele, Lele!"
The elders and stewards were speechless.
Is this the old woman whom Little Master was missing?
Did she use some kind of sorcery?!
Fortunately, Bian Zhuang did not wait for the experts from the World Edge Pavilion to kill her. He shouted the second half of the sentence.
"It's the old lady that Lele had by her side that day!"
The people beside him heaved a sigh of relief. They were really shocked by their little master.
