Chapter 1374: Battle of the Scattered Stars Island
After killing a Venerable head-on, Han Fei didn't feel anything special.
In his heart, Han Fei felt that it was as if he had defeated a top Heavenly Talent. There seemed to be no difference.
Perhaps because his strength had reached this point, when he faced a Venerable, he no longer had the fascination he had before.
After all, the Venerable realm was just a realm. He had yearned for it in the past, but now, although he hadn't become a Venerable yet, he wasn't afraid of Venerables at all.
In the three years in the Water-Wood World, especially in the first year, Han Fei's strength increased too fast. In the following years, Han Fei was only consolidating and polishing his foundation.
Holding the Venerable's Sun-Moon Shell, Han Fei glanced at it and found that there were very few spiritual fruits and spiritual springs in it. However, it did make sense. Venerables weren't interested in spiritual spring or spiritual fruits.
However, in this Venerable's Sun-Moon Shell, there were some top materials and a different sea chart.
"Huh?"
Han Fei glanced at it without taking it out. After all, Xue Shenqi was still here.
Seeing this, Han Fei had already concluded that behind the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, there was indeed a royal city. However, the location of this royal city was extremely mysterious, and the rest had already broken into the Wall of Death.
On this map, Han Fei saw a wall. On the map, there was even a map about the inside of the wall.
However, Han Fei was a little puzzled. The Wall of Death was such a powerful seal that even the battle between the two kings failed to break it. How could the royal city of the Yin-Yang World break into the Wall of Death?
Without paying much attention to the sea chart, Han Fei turned to Xue Shenqi.
Xue Shenqi and the others must have explored the Scattered Stars Island countless times. If he knew the existence of the Wall of Death well, Xue Shenqi and the others definitely knew it.
Besides, there were suddenly so many strong masters in the Ten Thousand Demon Valley. Han Fei didn't believe that there was no royal city behind them.
Xue Shenqi and the others should be able to guess it, but they didn't know how much Xue Shenqi knew about this so-called royal city.
Seeing Han Fei again under such circumstances, Xue Shenqi sighed.
The two of them looked at each other for a moment, and Xue Shenqi slowly said, "You were right. The Ten Thousand Demon Valley is up to something indeed. If I've guessed right, they should have opened a channel to the royal city. Today, the Venerables and Dao Seeking great demons you killed should have come from the so-called sea demon royal city."
Han Fei asked, "Do you know where it is?"
Xue Shenqi said, "I don't know. If I had known it earlier, I would have done something."
After a pause, Xue Shenqi said, "Did you come back alone?"
Han Fei thought for a moment. Although Jing'er came back with him, her junior sister instructed that Jing'er shouldn't take action easily. Therefore, he'd better not tell Xue Shenqi.
Therefore, Han Fei nodded. "Yes! But at least I'm much stronger, right?"
However, Xue Shenqi shook his head slightly. "I'm afraid it's not enough."
Han Fei frowned. "Not enough?"
Han Fei thought to himself, Xue Shenqi, are you out of your mind? I just killed more than a dozen Dao Seeking great demons, a Half-Merman and a Half-Merman who had just become Venerables. Isn't that enough?
Han Fei immediately looked in the direction of the Scattered Stars Island. "What's the problem?"
Xue Shenqi said, "You should know the strength of the Scattered Stars Island. Without your father, there are no Venerables on the Scattered Stars Island. In order to resist the suppression of the Thousand Star City, I have to make a breakthrough. But even if I make a breakthrough and become a Venerable, I'm only a junior Venerable and can only suppress Venerables at the same level. However, if an intermediate Venerable or above comes, my say will be divided."
Han Fei couldn't help narrowing his eyes. "Someone is here to seize power?"
Xue Shenqi said, "That's right. However, the result isn't that bad. Some people from the big clans have come, and some powerhouses from the seven major sects have also come. They balance each other, so I can continue to control the Scattered Stars Island."
Han Fei thought to himself, The complicated situation in the Thousand Star City has finally spread to the Scattered Stars Island.
Han Fei frowned. "Many?"
Xue Shenqi said, "There are four intermediate Venerables and four junior Venerables. Including me, there are a total of nine Venerables. Although you are only an advanced Explorer, your combat power… Heh, I didn't expect so many Venerables to appear on the Scattered Stars Island one day…"
Han Fei curled his lips. "You could've destroyed the Ten Thousand Demon Valley a long time ago, right? However, without the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, where could you find so many sea demons to temper human children?"
A smile appeared on Xue Shenqi's face. "You seem to have grown a lot. Indeed, it's not difficult to wipe out the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, and our human race is not that weak. But now, whether the Ten Thousand Demon Valley exists or not doesn't matter. In the end, the Empyrean Waterfall can't hold on anymore. You came back a little early, but in less than three months, or half a year, the so-called sea demon royal city will definitely appear. At that time, war will be inevitable."
Han Fei said, "No matter what, the Ten Thousand Demon Valley must be destroyed. There are too many sea demons in the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, far more than the so-called royal city. If we kill them, at least the ordinary people on the Scattered Stars Island will be safe."
Xue Shenqi asked, "Have you seen the royal city over there?"
Han Fei thought to himself, I've seen more than that. I've already been inside, become a Heavenly Talent of them, and explored their forbidden-level secret realms.
Of course, Han Fei wouldn't tell Xue Shenqi that, so he said, "I know the general situation. The royal city isn't as big as we think. There are two royal cities over there, with about 100,000 people in one of them."
"Only a hundred thousand?"
Xue Shenqi couldn't help but frown. This doesn't seem right. What can a mere hundred thousand people do?
However, Han Fei said, "Don't underestimate these 100,000 people. The minimum requirement to enter the royal city is a level-six demonic heritage, which is equivalent to the level-six spiritual heritage of our human race."
"Hiss!"
Even Xue Shenqi was shocked when he heard this. What kind of standard was this? A level-five spiritual heritage equaled the qualification to enter the seven major academies. If what Han Fei said was true, wouldn't the power of the Sea Demon Royal City be… unbelievable?
Tang Ge, who only had a level-7 spiritual heritage back then, was regarded as a treasure by the Thousand Star City. However, only those with level-6 demonic heritage could enter the Sea Demon Royal City?
What did it mean? And there were 100,000 of them?!
Of course, what Han Fei was talking about was the White Shell Royal City. As for the other Sea Demon Royal Cities, they might not be the same. However, it could be seen that the strength of the Sea Demon Royal City couldn't be underestimated!
Han Fei continued, "The lowest level in the capital is the Sea Spirit. This means that there are 100,000 Sea Spirits in the capital."
Buzz!
Xue Shenqi's face suddenly changed. He glared at Han Fei. "What did you say?"
Han Fei said, "You didn't hear it wrong. In the royal city, the weakest one is in the Sea Spirit realm. Those below this realm are not even qualified to enter it. Something might be wrong with the royal city in our world, or they would have flattened the Scattered Stars Island long ago. Therefore, since they are still tentatively fighting us, it means that their difficulties have not been resolved."
Xue Shenqi suddenly raised his head, looked in the direction of the Scattered Stars Island, and interrupted, "This matter is important. Let's discuss it later. The Scattered Stars Island has been fighting for seven days in a row, and everyone is exhausted. Since this battle is over and you have broken the rules, quickly return to support us."
…
Scattered Stars Island.
They still didn't know the news that Han Fei had returned and went on a killing spree on the battlefield.
After all, the battle on the front line was not something ordinary people could participate in at all.
On the west side, the battle between the Skeleton Shore and the Path of Giants was fiercest.
In the tide, there were densely packed Giant Feathered Scorpions and King Worms, rushing forward as if they were fearless of death.
It was fine on the Path of Giants because there was a smooth defense line there. Even the red tide impact was blocked by countless people within the range of the Path of Giants, so these ordinary sea creatures couldn't take a step forward.
However, things were not so easy on the Skeleton Shore.
The battle on the Skeleton Shore had expanded to involve more than 5,000 people. On the coastline, more than 3,000 people were resting. Spirit gatherers were undoubtedly the most difficult ones among this group of people. Their spiritual energy was almost exhausted.
Above the coast, a red figure, holding two swords, was fighting on the battlefield. From afar, she looked like a beautiful red flame, killing from south to north, from east to west.
"Commander, don't we have any reinforcements? This battle has been going on for three days and three nights, and the last batch only took half an hour to rest. This is not enough!"
"Captain You, I'm Ling You, from the Command Center. You can't consume spiritual energy anymore. The enemy's law enforcers retreated in defeat three hours ago and may come back again."
Shua! Shua!
The fiery figure threw out two slashes and killed more than 30 enemies. Then she stepped in the void, panting. "Others can rest, but I can't. I have to maintain my momentum! Spirit gatherers, replenish my spiritual energy."
Two spirit gatherers at the Hidden Fisher level quickly crossed the battlefield and went straight ahead.
You Lingyun heaved a sigh. "The Scattered Stars Island, year after year, day after day. Are they cultivating talents, or are they really resisting sea demons? Where are the powerhouses? Where have they gone?"
You Lingyun extended her hand, and two red long swords flew back.
She held the long sword in her hand, her long hair fluttering in the wind, and looked into the distance. "Daliang, Leng Hui, you should learn from Xiaoxiao. Fine, I'm afraid I'm going to take your old path. Wait a while longer. Wait for me to defend the Skeleton Shore."
"Ahhh~"
"Pu! Pu! Pu!"
Suddenly, six life spears flew out of the ground. The two spirit gatherers who were replenishing You Lingyun with spiritual energy were penetrated in an instant.
"A*shole!"
You Lingyun's face changed, and she slashed at the ground.
"Hey! You're finally tired."
At the moment when You Lingyun attacked the ground, a King Worm not far from her feet suddenly exploded. A harpoon hit the sky, white light bloomed, and the Sea King Strike was launched.
You Lingyun still wanted to wave her sword, but her spiritual energy was exhausted when half of the sword wave had just formed. The backlash made her vomit a mouthful of blood.
Looking at the white harpoon, You Lingyun's eyes dimmed slightly. Sure enough, she couldn't avoid death.
"Xiaoxiao… There's only you left. Live on."
"Pfft!"
You Lingyun couldn't be more familiar with the sound of sharp blades tearing flesh. She couldn't help closing her eyes, but…
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
Three seconds had passed, but she didn't feel any pain?
You Lingyun opened her eyes slowly, only to see a familiar figure standing on the sea, looking at her with a smile. "Why? Will the You Lingyun I know give up on herself too?"
Looking at the Half-Mermaid that had been torn in half under Han Fei's feet, You Lingyun's eyes welled up. "Ca… Captain?"
