After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 2579 This is bad, very bad

The needle crab inherited and enhanced the chicken heart taro's terrifying thorns and venom glands; a single vial of venom could take down an entire elephant.

It is also an exceptionally prolific demon puppet, capable of producing seven thousand eggs at a time. Furthermore, under the stimulation of divine blood, it can produce an egg every fifteen minutes, with the hatchlings taking only fifty breaths to emerge.

The concentration of spiritual energy within the Crystal Sea is far higher than that outside, which also enhances and promotes their growth.

The Hidden God Lord was, after all, a true immortal being. The Spiritual Essence Palace could only maintain the normal growth of the Hidden God Lord's body by using a massive amount of Mystic Crystals to increase the spiritual energy concentration of the Glazed Sea. Fortunately, this was a closed little world, so the spiritual energy wouldn't leak out—that's what immortals do when they go into seclusion.

The lifespan of the needle crab is compressed to only one hour, but that is enough for an individual, as it can produce more than 50,000 offspring within one hour.

Descendants can have their own descendants, and so on, generation after generation, without end.

This was originally just a practice exercise for Dong Rui when he was bored. When He Lingchuan entered the Liuli Sea last time while playing the role of Hu Xin, he was thinking about finding a suitable reason to come in again next time, so he kicked the stone containing the needle crab into the sea.

He did it yesterday morning, and seven or eight hours have passed since then.

The number of needle crabs in the Crystal Sea has increased exponentially.

However, their reproduction on the kelp forest is merely instinctive and has no effect whatsoever on the fragments of the Hidden God.

He Lingchuan was just making things up, but Fuyu had never seen such a thing before, so how could it tell the difference?
Besides, these words came from the mouth of "Gengyue God", and Helu God specially sent Him back to kill the needle crab, so it is most likely true.

"Let's go check the main root of the seaweed forest. Hopefully, the crab infestation hasn't spread there." Fuyu paused for a few moments, then swam diagonally forward.

With a flick of its tail, it accelerated, becoming faster than He Lingchuan's boat. He could barely make out its large tail appearing and disappearing in front of him.

……

Yanxia Bay, rocky beach.

Commander Zhao continued to lead his troops to guard the entrance to Eagle Beak Town, but the northeastern sky was once again alive and still.

This time, three bird demons flew back, one of them injured and stumbling as they flew. They landed on the rocky beach and said to Commander Zhao:
"The leader ordered us to return and report that Helu Tianzun led his followers into the outermost island of the Hundred Pearl Islands and has not yet emerged. The newly dispatched reinforcements from the palace have also been unable to enter. We were ordered to observe from the outside, but we have not seen any signs of either side. It is suspected that the enemy has set up a small world."

Another bird-like demon interjected, "On our return journey, we were intercepted by the enemy. Only the three of us managed to escape and return; the rest were shot down."

The enemy was cunning; they ambushed them on their return journey, preventing them from returning to report.

“We are already aware of these details.” Commander Zhao nodded. “Divine Lord Geng Yue has returned and is currently reporting to the Emperor.”

There was nothing more to say then, the bird demons simply said, "We didn't see Him."

Afterwards, they drank some water, and the one with the injured wing stayed to rest, while the other two flapped their wings and flew northeast.

During the war, it was common for reports to come back from multiple sides, but Commander Zhao did not take it seriously.

A quarter of an hour later, a faint light flashed at the entrance to the rocky beach, and someone emerged—it was Commander Wu.

"Chief Supervisor Wang inquires, have there been any reports from the front lines?"

Commander Zhao immediately replied: "Geng Yue Shen just returned to the palace to meet the Emperor; a quarter of an hour ago, the bird demon scout flew back and reported that He Lu Tian Zun entered the island and has not come out, possibly entering the small world. This is the same as what Geng Yue Shen said."

During the war, only Commander Zhao of this army had the right to enter Lingyun Palace, but all communication, both inside and outside, had to go through the God of Yuhe.

After hearing this, Wu Guandai turned around and went back.

But a short while later, he rushed out again, his expression extremely serious, and grabbed Commander Zhao, demanding answers:

"You just said that Goddess Gengyue has returned to the palace? Who accompanied her in?"

During wartime, it was stipulated that no one could return to Lingyun Palace alone via the Cloud Platform.

Yu Heshen immediately said, "It is me."

When Wu Guandai faced the deity, he was much more respectful than when he faced Zhao Tongling: "Your Majesty, please come with me."

Yu He followed him back to Lotus Valley. As soon as they crossed the teleportation cloud gate, they saw Wang Maoshi rushing towards them, followed by more than ten immortals and demons.

Upon seeing him, Wang Maoshi's first words were:

"Lord Yuhe, did you accompany Lord Gengyue into the palace just now?"

Yu He sensed something was wrong and immediately recounted what had just happened, then said, "I don't have the golden talisman, so I can't follow him into the Glazed Sea. Hasn't he returned to Lotus Valley yet?"

Wang Maoshi's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water: "Geng Yue Shen never reported to the Holy Venerable!"

Yu He was so shocked by Wang Maoshi's words that he exclaimed, "What!"

Wait, is that a spy?
Wang Maoshi had no time to be polite with him anymore and hurriedly said, "Come with me!"

After saying that, Wang Maoshi stepped into the Cloud Gate.

As always, Yuntai was quiet, with drifting clouds and mist.

Wang Maoshi held up a dark red talisman and said loudly, "Has Geng Yue returned just now? Let me see the image!"

A cloud mirror appeared in mid-air, like light reflecting off the clouds, but the image was very clear.

From the moment the two celestial beings entered the cloud platform and began their conversation, until Geng Yue opened the cloud gate and entered the Crystal Sea, the entire sequence is rewindable with high-definition audio.

Seeing Geng Yue take out a talisman and stamp it on her wrist, Wang Maoshi suddenly shouted:
"stop!"

The scene immediately stopped, right at the moment when Geng Yue lifted the corner of her sleeve, about to place the talisman on top.

"Look!" Wang Maoshi pointed to his wrist, "First the stamp, then the seal!"

The immortals and demons also noticed that a faint golden light was emanating from Geng Yue's wrist.

The talisman hasn't even been stamped yet, and there's already a gold seal?
However, Geng Yue's movements were too fluid, and Yu He's view was blocked, so he didn't notice that he was playing tricks.

Upon seeing this, all the immortals and demons had only one thought in their minds:
If Helu Tian were still here presiding over the Cloud Platform, this kind of deception wouldn't fool Him.

Yu He was so angry his face almost contorted: "Damn it!"

He had just been humiliated by this spy! However, the spy had managed to perfectly imitate Geng Yue's aloofness.

"How could this fellow have a gold badge?" He was puzzled as well. "There are only a handful of people who wear travel seals!"

Originally there were only eight, but several more were revoked before Helu Tian set off. Where exactly did this spy get his official seal?

Another demon coldly said, "We'll investigate later. Let's capture this person first."

At this moment, the cloud mirror was also turned off.

The gimbal couldn't track and record what was happening in the Crystal Sea.

But this also means—

“Geng Yue is still in the Glazed Sea and has not left yet!” Wang Maoshi opened the cloud gate leading to the Glazed Sea and solemnly said, “Esteemed deities and immortals, please!”

Fortunately, they discovered it in time; the spies hadn't left yet, and they were still able to catch them red-handed!
The immortals and demons strode into the cloud gate.
