Chapter 168 Losing the Magic Weapon
The back mountain area of Yingzhou Holy Land is unexpectedly vast and boundless, and is filled with demonic energy that permeates the entire world. It is obviously unrealistic to search every corner in three days.
After meeting Qin Xi and Chu Miaomiao again, Ye Mo shook his head. There was still no result, and the matter was somewhat strange.
Chu Miaomiao asked, "Should we give up?"
Qin Xi said, "How about I have my husband do it?"
Ye Mo shook his head: "Forget it, let's suspend the investigation for now. We'll observe for a while longer, and if we still can't find any clues, we'll leave. We can't continue taking risks!"
His eyes were deep and thoughtful. The situation was becoming increasingly complicated, with an invisible force interfering with them. It was clear that a powerful figure had intervened, not wanting them to continue their investigation. This was, in fact, a warning.
He feared that further investigation would backfire.
The matter was left unresolved.
Ye Mo sealed away all the information he had found.
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
They stopped all their investigations and earnestly discussed and exchanged ideas with the elders of Yingzhou Secret Realm, instructing the disciples who came to further their studies.
On this day, the three of them bid farewell to everyone and set off on their return journey. However, they did not return to Suzhou, China immediately. Instead, they contacted the Fusang Secret Realm in advance to inform them and prepare to investigate there.
According to Ye Mo's idea, if they were to investigate in a different secret realm, would the results be different from those in the Yingzhou Secret Realm?
Seven days later, they arrived in the territory of Fusang via a teleportation array. Guided by some Golden Core cultivators, they entered the Fusang Secret Realm. The scenery here was similar to that of Yingzhou Secret Realm, but completely different. Giant trees reached the sky, mountains stretched across the land, and the holy land was extremely vast.
When there were only three of them, Ye Mo used his magical artifact to investigate.
The result surprised him; the same dense demonic energy existed here as in the Yingzhou Secret Realm. It seemed that the problem wasn't limited to the Yingzhou Secret Realm.
Now, Ye Mo felt relieved.
This means that all the clues have been exhausted, and all their previous investigations in the Yingzhou Secret Realm have been in vain. It will be extremely difficult to find out who is controlling the monsters.
After spending half a month in the Fusang Secret Realm, they left and returned to Suzhou, China. After resting for several days, Ye Mo rushed to the Jiangnan coastal defense line to lead the cultivators to resist the beast tide.
When Ye Mo went to the coastal defense line, Yun Chen said to him, "Take Yao Yao with you, let her experience some training, and test the results of her cultivation during this period!"
Ye Mo nodded: "Understood, Brother Yun. Don't worry, I will definitely protect Yao Yao!"
Upon reaching the coastal defense line, they set up camp.
Ye Mo rarely takes action personally.
Since Chu Miaomiao naturally came along, he had to take care of Chu Miaomiao and look after Xiao Yaoyao, so he really couldn't spare the time.
"Elder Ye, don't worry."
"With us here, the defense line is impregnable."
"Just spend quality time with your wife."
Some generals came to report the situation. When they noticed Chu Miaomiao, their eyes were filled with respect because they recognized her at a glance as Chu Miaomiao, the divine craftswoman of the Huaxia Immortal Clan, a woman who could hold up half the sky.
Ye Mo held a high position on the Jiangnan coastal defense line, being one of the dozen or so highest-ranking golden-robed elders. This achievement was the result of countless battles with demonic beasts, earned at the cost of his own life.
Acting in this capacity, one does not need to ask permission from anyone.
There are ten such elders along the coast of Jiangnan, leading a large army of cultivators to guard the coastal defense line that stretches for thousands of kilometers.
On this day, Ye Mo led Xiao Yao Yao in a battle against the demonic beasts.
The ocean is vast and magnificent, with strong winds whipping up huge waves.
Wave after wave of sea monsters emerged from the ocean and charged toward the land, bringing carnage and destruction.
Xiao Yaoyao rushed forward and engaged in battle with him.
She wielded a celestial sword, unleashing terrifying sword energy that cleaved through the raging tide and divided heaven and earth. Countless demonic beasts were instantly slain, their corpses swept away by the waves.
She had already reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, and her various supernatural abilities were incredibly advanced. She was forcibly suppressing her realm and had not broken through, wanting to cultivate to the ultimate level and perfect this realm.
After a fierce battle, the wave of monsters gradually subsided.
The pressure isn't that great right now.
Unless a powerful demon at the Golden Core stage appears, other demonic beasts with lower cultivation levels can basically be blasted to death with the latest weapons.
However, we still need to be vigilant and on guard at all times.
I stayed on the coastal defense line for a month.
Ye Mo was taking Chu Miaomiao and Xiao Yaoyao back home.
On this day, just as they were about to leave.
A general hurriedly found him.
"Elder Ye, something terrible has happened!"
Ye Mo's expression gradually turned serious: "What is it?"
He then followed the general to a hidden palace.
At this moment, in the center of the palace, a cultivator, his face ashen, said to one of the tall, imposing generals, "The Heaven-Turning Seal, the magical treasure guarding our coastal defense line, is missing."
The general was taken aback: "The guardian treasure has been lost?"
The monk said, "It's not lost, it's gone!"
The general's face was grim, and he said in a low voice, "If it's not seen, it's lost!"
The magical artifact guarding the coastal defense line of Jiangnan is called the Heaven-Turning Seal. It was crafted by powerful beings from the Yanhuang Secret Realm and Kunlun Secret Realm over the years to help the various territories of Blue Star fight against sea monsters. It is incredibly powerful and can even crush a Golden Core Realm monster with a single seal.
Each of the Golden Robe Elders guarding their assigned defensive zone has one.
This magical artifact from the coastal areas of Jiangnan has not yet been used.
Now they are told that the magic weapon is missing.
At this moment, Ye Mo arrived at the place where the Heaven-Turning Seal was stored and entered a palace filled with high-tech atmosphere.
At this moment, the cultivators here were in a state of panic.
The general, looking furious, asked the group of cultivators, "When was the last time we saw the Heaven-Turning Seal?"
One of the monks said, "Twenty minutes."
The general's eyes widened: "Twenty minutes?"
"Twenty minutes is enough time to travel around the entire world using a teleportation array. The Heaven-Turning Seal is so powerful; if it falls into the hands of demonic beasts, what harm would you cause to the Chinese Immortal Clan!"
The monks bowed their heads: "General, we were wrong."
The general shouted, "Wrong? You've committed a crime!!"
The cultivators lowered their heads and endured the reprimands.
After Ye Mo arrived, he told them not to worry too much.
The general clasped his hands in greeting: "Elder Ye."
Ye Mo sighed and immediately reported the matter. He hadn't expected such a thing to happen on the front line he was guarding.
He knew this was no simple matter.
The person who could steal the Heaven-Turning Seal from here silently must be very capable, at least a Nascent Soul expert.
The people of the Huaxia Immortal Clan obviously wouldn't do that.
Then the only possible culprits are the traitor and the sea monster.
The monks guarding the place can't be blamed.
Because some demonic beasts possess very special abilities, such as transforming into human form and blending into the crowd, making it difficult for cultivators to distinguish them, or becoming invisible and silently ascending to land, making it impossible for anyone to detect them from beginning to end. To be able to steal that magical treasure from such a heavily guarded place is truly an extraordinary skill.
His concern was that the demon race was no longer launching a direct attack, but instead planned to resort to underhanded tactics, starting to sabotage the immortal race from within.
It can be confirmed that the murderer is a demonic beast.
After the cultivators guarding the magical artifacts realized what was happening, they immediately activated their spells to investigate and discovered the aura of the demonic beast.
The generals immediately informed Ye Mo.
A report was immediately sent to the Immortal Clan headquarters. Not long after, a new Heaven-Turning Seal was delivered. This magic weapon was mass-produced and not unique. It was somewhat similar to the old nuclear bomb, except that it required a cultivator to activate it using a secret technique.
"Everyone, don't worry. Even if the demon beasts stole that magic weapon, they still can't use it without specific supernatural powers. Strengthen your defenses, and report any suspicious activity immediately. Be especially wary of demon beasts that can transform and become invisible."
The Heaven-Turning Seal needs to be combined with special supernatural powers to unleash its full power.
Besides Ye Mo, he selected several trusted generals to teach this supernatural ability, in case of unforeseen circumstances.
After making arrangements for the affairs along the route, Ye Mo left. He took Chu Miaomiao and Xiao Yaoyao back to Suzhou.
