Chapter 287: Reinforcements From The Demonic Clans

The moment those from the Mystical Sky Yard retreated, the people from the Jade Pearl Pavilion retreated as well. The Thousands Desire Sect naturally stayed behind alone, with the large group of them returning from where they came from. When they entered, the thirty-six of them were bunched together with a majestic and insufferably arrogant aura, inciting the fear of everyone present. But when they exited, they were like the rats on the streets.

Not only did they have to suffer from the attacks of the Thousands Demon Sect and Ancient Sword Sect, there were some other sects who joined in the fun as well. All of these people were those who suffered a loss when they entered previously. Now that they saw an opportunity to enjoy some benefits, they would naturally step out to hit the enemy when they were down. Thankfully, those from the three sects were all experts this time. Together with the aid of six YuanYing cultivators, they managed to fight their way out eventually. However, of the thirty-six who went in, less than twenty of them managed to leave, more than half of them peris.h.i.+ng.

Those who went in were not ordinary disciples; they were all JinDan disciples! So many of them dying would be a huge blow to any sect. Failing their mission while suffering such heavy losses, all of the YuanYing cultivators wanted to burst out crying, but no tears came out.

This was not what gave them the biggest headache. The thing which frustrated them the most was the cultivators who chased after them from behind. They were all there to kill Song Zhong and stop the Gold Dragon s.h.i.+p from flying further, just how did they end up fighting with others for no reason? Not only were they unable to complete their mission and waste time, they were even chased out like dogs by the other sects! This was far too embarra.s.sing!

Actually, Daoist Lecher, Daoist Huo Long and Huo Qing Yun were even more depressed than they were. The three had obviously sent the team to destroy the flying formation of the Gold Dragon s.h.i.+p, but they instead brought back a whole squad of people chasing after them. How would they be able to endure it?

Despite how frustrated the three of them were, they just could not ignore the cultivators they sent in. Thus, the three of them quickly brought their subordinates along to save the miserable looking Wind and Cloud Witches. Then, they tried to stop the other party and resolve the misunderstanding.

After pulling apart both the parties, they wanted to reason things out with them. However, the skies above the Eastern Ocean changed and the originally sunny sky was suddenly filled with dark clouds. Furthermore, numerous black clouds became to gather from all directions, looking as though it was about to rain. A thunderstorm wouldn’t be considered a big deal as the weather of the Eastern Ocean was just that unpredictable. However, the problem was the fact that this rain was just too suspicious and it was laced with a trace of demonic Qi. Everyone present was an expert of the JinDan level at the very least, and immediately realized that this rain was probably related to the demonic beasts.

As they realized that the demonic beasts were the ones creating trouble, their faces changed and they lost all mood for a confrontation. Instead, they began to observe their surroundings with caution. After all, the strength of the demonic beasts was vast, and the human cultivators chose to band together in face of this crisis.

Right at this moment, the Gold Dragon s.h.i.+p which had been operating at full speed suddenly flew down towards the surface of the ocean. The flying s.h.i.+p which was originally in the air became a huge s.h.i.+p in the ocean.

Looking at this scene, everyone present was puzzled. When the flying s.h.i.+p was in the air, the speed of the s.h.i.+p would be unleashed to its fullest. If it was in the water, unless it had water movement spells, the speed of the flying s.h.i.+p would be greatly reduced. Furthermore, the Gold Dragon s.h.i.+p did not possess any water movement spells and would only have a speed of about 1000 mph in the waters. The twenty-plus s.h.i.+ps chasing after it were far faster than that and they would be able to surround the Gold Dragon s.h.i.+p easily. As such, everyone present just did not understand why Song Zhong did not attempt to make use of the chaos brought from the demonic beasts to escape, but chose to land on the surface of the water instead. However, this question of theirs was quickly answered. They suddenly saw numerous figures appearing from under the water, with all sorts of demonic beasts appearing. There were black sharks, giant squids, gigantic turtles, humongous lobsters, etc.

Due to the fact that these demonic beasts were too weak, they were unable to fly and thus unable to reach the Gold Dragon s.h.i.+p which was in midair. Obviously, to receive their aid, Song Zhong landed his Gold Dragon s.h.i.+p on the surface of the ocean. As for speed to escape, hehe, was that still necessary?The Gold Dragon s.h.i.+p was the vessel of the ruler of the Eastern Ocean Empire. It was just that the Empress felt that it required too many resources and so she did not operate it much. As such, the human cultivators were unaware of it. However, while the human cultivators were unaware, the demonic beasts were extremely clear about this. Furthermore, they were extremely clear that the Empress had already given this Gold Dragon s.h.i.+p to the Crown Prince a few years ago.

Thus, the Gold Dragon s.h.i.+p was quickly spotted when it arrived at the Eastern Ocean. Seeing the vessel of their Crown Prince being chased by so many human cultivators, they were all startled. Without any delay, they reported the matter up.

Of course, the hinterlands of the Eastern Ocean Empire was still a great distance away and a long time would be required for the experts from the empire to rush here. However, the Eastern Ocean Empire was created to deal with the hara.s.sment of the Eastern Ocean Alliance. Along the borders of the Eastern Ocean, there was still the Eastern Ocean Surveillance Corps.

After receiving the news, despite knowing that there were many YuanYing cultivators and flying s.h.i.+ps present, they came to Song Zhong’s aid without delay.This attack was from the actions of a few members of the Eastern Ocean Surveillance Corps. Following their arrival, a large amount of demonic beasts began to enter the insides of the Gold Dragon s.h.i.+p from the ocean. While there were a few who went out to chase after the Jade Pearl Pavilion, Mystical Sky Yard and Thousands Desire Sect, there were still plenty of them left in the Gold Dragon s.h.i.+p.

When Song Zhong was alone, he did not have any means to deal with the cultivators. But with the aid of the demonic beasts, the situation was turned around immediately.

In the water, the strength of the demonic beasts was greatly amplified while the human cultivators were restricted. Apart from the Water-type cultivators, the others were greatly affected by the water. Despite the strength of the human cultivators being much higher than the demonic beasts on average, they just could not win against the sheer numbers of the demonic beasts!

With just a few amba.s.sadors of the Eastern Ocean Surveillance Corps taking action together, their subordinates alone amounted to more than a hundred thousand. While they were weak, their numbers were just too frightening. They all entered the Gold Dragon s.h.i.+p through the damaged portion of the s.h.i.+ps and were like waves of ants, densely packed and all over the place. In every single room and pa.s.sageway that was filled with water, they would definitely be present. At the very most, there were only a few thousand human cultivators. Facing more than ten times the amount of enemies in such a small s.p.a.ce, and water which came out of nowhere, they were unable to endure it regardless of how strong they were.

However, the deck of the Gold Dragon s.h.i.+p wasn’t peaceful at this moment as well. Most of the demonic beasts had a certain amount of ability to fight on land as well. Seeing that they wouldn’t be able to squeeze their way into the Gold Dragon s.h.i.+p anytime soon, the demonic beasts at the back grew impatient and jumped right onto the deck of the Gold Dragon s.h.i.+p. Most of the demonic beasts who jumped onto the deck were a type of gigantic crab called the Red Demon Crab. The appearance of the Red Demon Crab was similar to an ordinary crab, but they were at least five feet in size. The ones which were stronger could even be as huge as thirty feet. The large pincers they had were as huge as doors, and the most frightening part about them was their defenses. Their red outer sh.e.l.l helped them to easily block the attacks of a foundational cultivator.  These Red Demon Crabs did not have any long ranged attacks and had a slow speed, allowing cultivators to avoid them easily and slowly wear them down to death. But, the size of the deck was limited and the numerous crabs did not even have the s.p.a.ce to stand on the deck. Just how would the cultivators be able to avoid them to wear them down?Thus, those cultivators on the deck had no choice but to fly into the air. As such, the Red Demon Crabs and the other demonic beasts easily occupied the deck and began attacking the insides of the Gold Dragon s.h.i.+p. In a short blink of an eye, the 3000 foot long Gold Dragon s.h.i.+p was filled with demonic beasts all around, crawling about like ants on a cube of sugar. As such, the cultivators in the Gold Dragon s.h.i.+p were in grave trouble. Below them, the demonic beasts entered the s.h.i.+p through the ocean. Above them, the gigantic Red Demon Crabs had occupied the deck. The human cultivators faced pressure from all directions, being surrounded by enemies all around them.

Of course, the few amba.s.sadors of the Eastern Ocean Surveillance Corps and their subordinates were still insufficient to challenge the powerful human cultivators. Despite being caught off guard, the human cultivators only panicked for a short while. Upon realizing that their opponents were weaker than them, they calmed down quickly and began retaliating.

Since the cultivators in the Gold Dragon s.h.i.+p knew that they wouldn’t be able to escape, they found a place with an appropriate terrain to defend against the demonic beasts with all their strengths, fending off the many attacks of the demonic beasts.
