Chapter 100 Yuan Ting Island

Yuan Ting Island, one hundred kilometers outside the coastal defense line.

Thunder and lightning roared.

A wisp of red light streaked across the rainy sky, the long shadow it dragged resembling the tail of a thunder dragon.

【Shenhai's (Deep Sea)】 monitoring was limited to the Five Continents.

【Yunjing (Cloud Mirror)】 as well.

This was the inner edge of the Ice Sea, already beyond the defined range of the Five Continents, so 【Shenhai】could not monitor it.

As for 【Yunjing】...

The Red Dragon Envoy took out a mirror from his bosom.

A mist rose in the ancient bronze mirror. He tried to inject mental power into 【Yunjing】, but the mist did not dissipate... This meant that this sea area was beyond the controllable monitoring range of 【Yunjing】.

Seeing this, the Red Dragon silently put away 【Yunjing】.

He began to descend, and finally fell like a shooting star into the sea.

In the chaotic sea of ​​Source, it required at least the "Fourth Order" of transcendent realm, comprehending a domain, to barely resist the erosion of this boiling sea with pure physical strength.

As for sailing distance.

It varied from person to person. The stronger the domain, the longer the sailing distance.

Only a very few freaks could travel thousands of miles in one breath like Gu Shen, without needing to rest.

Gu Shen achieved all of this not only because he possessed incomparably powerful spirit, but also because of one very important factor... 【Truth】.

So this place was actually very far.

The Yuan Zhi Tower's cloud ship was still advancing at a "snail's pace," but the Red Dragon had already arrived at his destination.

After he landed on the sea, the red thunder above the sky no longer roared.

The Red Dragon walked step by step on the sea, and the stormy waves rolled. This place was extremely noisy, yet extremely silent.

The sea roared, the heavens beat their drums, and all living beings were silent.

After a moment, the Red Dragon stopped.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking towards the end of the sea, where there were countless layers of stacked waves, each layer surpassing the last, and at the end of the waves there was a small black dot.

That was a spherical barrier, emitting a faint "aura of light."

Just a few days ago, the Yuan Zhi Tower's "rescue team" received a transcendent aura from the Ice Sea.

That aura traveled a very long distance, and by the time it reached the mainland, it was already fragmented. The remaining part of the incomplete will could no longer discern the content of the message.

The rescue team from Upper City believed that this was very likely a signal sent back by the survivors of the 【Ice Sea Relics】 fleet.

Thus.

The rescue experts from Upper City began to calculate, and after rigorous calculation, they deduced the possible coordinates and trajectory of the signal.

Immediately afterwards, the conflict on the Yuan Ting Island defense line officially broke out.

The Red Dragon Envoy led a team, broke through the Storm Church's obstruction, officially entered the inner edge of the Ice Sea, and sailed a cloud ship into the Holy City's airspace.

Of course, the Southern Continent expressed strong protests about this. Most of the disputes within the Five Continents saw the Southern Continent adopting this attitude. In fact, nothing would happen after the strong protests... because the truly strong would take more effective measures than protests. If the Storm Church were to sail an airship into the airspace of the Central Continent, the Yuan Zhi Tower would shoot it down without hesitation, without a second of hesitation.

This was the difference brought about by the disparity in "power"—

The Storm Church also wanted to do this.

But they knew that they could not do it.

Once a god war broke out, the weakest Southern Continent would be used as a砧板 (zhēn bǎn, a cutting board), and the tens of thousands of people here would be reduced to cannon fodder.

This time the sea rescue.

Those experts sent by the Upper City all expressed optimism about this mission—

Now that the Storm Church has confirmed that it cannot stop the Yuan Zhi Tower from going to sea.

Then, as long as the signal received by the rescue team is true, the cloud ship will most likely be able to pick up the survivors of the 【Ice Sea Relics】.

As for what exactly happened in the depths of the Ice Sea, it is still a mystery.

Once the rescue mission is completed, everything will naturally come to light.

"Rumble~~~"

The tide swept through, and the Red Dragon stood with his hands behind his back, rising and falling with the waves.

The barrier in front of him was getting closer and closer.

He saw the situation inside clearly... There really were survivors of the 【Ice Sea Relics】, and not just one. The mental aura emitted by this barrier was indeed related to "light."

Because the Red Dragon saw those survivors in the light sphere.

They were wearing the white robes of the Guang Ming (Light) Shrine, but now these white robes were stained red... as bright red as blood.

"Someone!"

"Someone's coming!"

"Save... save us!"

In the barrier, a transcendent saw this figure standing at the end of the sea. They had drifted from the Ice Sea, and this was the first time they had encountered a living being!

It was a person!

It was a living person!

A weak voice sounded in the wind and rain. Although it was as weak as a gossamer thread, it still clearly entered the Red Dragon's ears.

"I am... Yin Zhuo, the Fourth Elder of the Guang Ming Shrine..."

The man in charge of this barrier was struggling to support the drifting of the light sphere, and the Source power in his body had been exhausted.

More than one hundred kilometers away from the coastline of Yuan Ting Island.

In normal times.

This distance was nothing to a titled transcendent.

But now, this last hundred kilometers has become a "chasm" that can never be reached... Reaching this sea area, he had already exhausted everything.

Yin Zhuo had many wounds on his body.

Being directly bombarded by a black-silver cannonball was not a truly fatal wound.

After the domain was breached, his body was torn apart by the fragments after the explosion. The black-silver attribute caused the Source power in his body to continuously drain outward, which was the main reason why he was now running out of fuel.

"Please... save us."

Yin Zhuo looked at the big red figure in the thunder and rain, squinted his eyes, and carefully examined it.

There were not many people in the entire Five Continents who could reach this coordinate alone.

This was a titled transcendent.

And a very powerful titled transcendent.

Linking the two important elements of rainy night and red thunder together, the identity of the man in front of him was not difficult to guess.

The First Envoy of the Yuan Zhi Tower!

"In addition to the members of the Shrine, I also saved the transcendents of the Yuan Zhi Tower... Several of them!"

Yin Zhuo anxiously transmitted his voice.

Driven by the tide, the floating light sphere barrier finally came to the Red Dragon.

"Lord Red Dragon!"

"Lord Envoy!"

The Red Dragon frowned slightly. He looked at the Yuan Zhi Tower law enforcers who were wearing white robes of the Guang Ming Shrine, but called him "Lord Envoy" one after another.

"These... are actually the survivors of the Yuan Zhi Tower."

Yin Zhuo's voice was hoarse, "Because they lost their vehicles, they needed strong faith to return to the mainland from the Ice Sea. They had already collapsed on the way. I had no choice but to transmit faith... It was the faith of light that saved them and supported them to get here."

"..."

The Red Dragon was silent, and his brows were still furrowed.

"Have we drifted for a long time? Have we triggered the 'Time Restriction'..."

Yin Zhuo raised his head, his expression dark, and murmured, "What is the situation in the Five Continents now?"

"A long time, but not as long as you think."

The Red Dragon slowly opened his mouth and said, "Only a month or so has passed since the Ice Sea Relics incident, but many things have happened in the Five Continents, and the current situation is very tense."

"What does the outside world think of the Ice Sea Relics?"

Yin Zhuo continued to ask anxiously, "I want to report the truth about the Ice Sea Relics to the Grand Elder of the Shrine! I want to appeal to the 【Guang Ming Bi Lei (Light Barrier)】 Holy Arbiter. I want to expose the shameless faces of the East Continent, the North Continent, and the Storm Church colluding in front of everyone in the Five Continents!"

The Red Dragon remained silent.

He decided to be merciful to Yin Zhuo. The news that the Shrine Grand Elder and Jia Wei had taken the first step... it's better not to say it at this time.

The atmosphere in the Ice Sea was a little stiff.

Yin Zhuo was stunned, and he realized that the atmosphere was not right.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing... I'm just thinking about a question. The Yuan Ting Island defense line is heavily guarded by the Storm Church." The Red Dragon asked, "How did you manage to send back mental messages?"

"Gather all your spirits."

Yin Zhuo said solemnly, "This is a gamble. I believe the Church will not abandon us... If someone receives this mental message, then we will definitely be saved."

"You did a good job."

The Red Dragon nodded and said, "Upper City received the signal."

Yin Zhuo grinned, and his expression was no longer as tense as before.

"In another ten minutes, the cloud ship will arrive."

The Red Dragon asked again, "I have one last question... Where is Meriz?"

This name made everyone in the light sphere barrier look gloomy.

"I'm sorry to say that the Upper City's 【Ju Yue (Great Moon)】 died in this Ice Sea Relics mission..."

Yin Zhuo's voice was hoarse, "Meriz's injuries were too serious to be treated, and he will remain in that sea forever."

Hearing this, the Red Dragon's tightly locked brows finally relaxed.

"Okay, there are no problems now."

The Red Dragon said softly, "Next, I will send you home."

……

……

The tide rolled, and the raging waves subsided.

The thunderstorm stopped, and the sea returned to silence.

"Lord Envoy, transcendent auras of the Storm Church appeared on the northwest side."

"Lord Envoy, the transcendent radar search yielded no results. Should we continue?"

The Yuan Zhi Tower's cloud ship was docked at the target location. The Red Dragon stepped on his wet boots and returned to the cloud ship's cabin. He shook his head with a solemn expression, announcing the news that he had gained nothing from his outing. Those Upper City experts who had previously expressed optimism about the action no longer had much of a smile on their faces.

Because this sea rescue was so strange.

It had already sailed a hundred kilometers.

Yet not even a trace of life was discovered.

According to previous analysis, at this distance, it should be possible to find traces of those "survivors."

"Without food or Source... even a titled transcendent may not be able to return from the Ice Sea, let alone if they are likely to be seriously injured..."

The atmosphere inside the cloud ship was very depressed.

"If they didn't hold on, we wouldn't be able to find their 'traces'."

The sea is the most ruthless thing in the world.

It swallows everything.

It won't leave a trace.

Alive, you can still make some noise. Dead, you have nothing.

The Red Dragon silently returned to his rest cabin. There were still many noisy voices outside, but those were no longer important.

Just now, his spiritual sense vaguely sensed a summons from the Gu Wen Hui (Ancient Text Society).

Close your eyes.

A wisp of spirit continued to dive in the sound of the sea water, and then dive again, until he came to a small conference room with only four people.

", the mission has been completed."

Even though the four people in this conference room knew each other's identities, the Red Dragon still habitually referred to his identity with a number code.

"The 【Ice Sea Relics】 has been confirmed to have eleven survivors, one titled, and Shrine Third Elder Yin Zhuo."

"【Ju Yue (Great Moon)】 Meriz died in battle, his body is unknown, the accuracy of the information is 99%."

The Red Dragon rested his elbows on the table, looking at the people across the long table. He waved his hand to release the Ice Sea ruling image, and smiled, "This is the information that the three of you have been waiting for, right?"

Sitting upright, his body was as straight as a ruler.

While watching the video, Lin Lin opened his mouth and said, "The Storm Church has requested that the Central City send transcendents to intervene in the Yuan Ting Island defense line conflict, but the Central City has clearly stated its refusal."

"What a coincidence."

Gu Shen said, "The Storm Church also found Chang Ye... Of course, Chang Ye also refused."

"Aren't you afraid that I will fail?"

The Red Dragon chuckled.

"Compared to you failing, I am more worried that your identity will be suspected by the Sky God Seat."

Lu Nanzhi said very seriously, "If it is not convenient for you to take action, it does not matter even if you release these survivors back to the mainland... The impact on public opinion cannot directly change the situation in the Five Continents."

After watching the video, Gu Shen felt a little ironic.

"What's more, the only surviving title is Yin Zhuo."

He said slowly, "The current Guang Ming City will not actively provoke incidents... Guang Ming City hopes to restore its friendship with the East Continent through marriage. After Yin Zhuo returns to the Shrine, facing the new power system, he may not even be able to stand on the stage to speak."

"Another marriage?"

Every face in the conference room was shrouded in a layer of mist. Even so, it was not difficult to guess that Lin Lin's expression must be very wonderful at the moment.

He was the victim of the Meng family marriage.

However, the real noteworthy information point in Gu Shen's words lies in the mastermind behind Guang Ming City.

The Grand Elder and Jia Wei are both dead.

The person who is now in charge of the Guang Ming Shrine is Meng Xizhou, but in fact... the only person who has the ability to promote marriage is always one person.

The Light God Seat.

If you want to repair the relationship, it must also be from the will of the Light God Seat.

As long as the will of the God Seat is "reconciliation," then all unfavorable factors will be eliminated. Yin Zhuo's return to Guang Ming City is very likely that he will not even have a chance to speak.

"Since we met him, we should still kill him."

The Red Dragon said coldly, "People like Yin Zhuo are a scourge to keep around."

After watching the Ice Sea video, the three of them sensed the murderous intent in the Red Dragon's words, but they could all understand it.

Those survivors of the Yuan Zhi Tower were actually domesticated into "Light Believers" by the Fourth Elder of the Shrine on the way back?

I can only say that this is what the Guang Ming Shrine would do.

"Everyone, there is an important matter for today's meeting..."

After the Red Dragon finished sharing the information, the spiritual meeting of the Gu Wen Hui did not end there.

Gu Shen said in a deep voice.

He looked at the three people across the long table in the conference room, these were the three people he trusted most.

Even so.

He hesitated for a long time about the convening of this meeting.

Because the information he was about to share was really...

Sensational.

"I think the current Light God Seat is no longer the Light God Seat of the past."

"【Shenhai (Deep Sea)】 is very likely to have evolved its own consciousness and achieved the usurpation of the Supreme Seat."
