Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 114 The Siren Delivers a Feast

The illusory sea between the Eastern Continent and the Southern Continent is called the Southern Illusionary Sea, also known as the South Sea. The dividing line is a large island that resembles land, adjacent to the Southern Continent.

The Wu Clan and Guangyan Sect fought over this island countless times, until finally the Phoenix intervened, and the Wu Clan never dared to attack it again.

Phoenix Island was the name given by Guangyan Sect to intimidate the Wu Clan, who in turn called this large island Wushen Island.

Because beyond Phoenix Island lay the territory of the Witch Clan, Huo Qing had no choice but to send everyone ashore to rest.

Phoenix Island is equivalent to a quarter of the area of ​​the Fire Cloud Mountains and is the largest island in the Southern Illusion Sea.

Although the Fire Cloud Mountains are not as large as the Azure Dragon Mountains, which span the entire East Road, they still cover a considerable area.

Along the entire Southern Illusionary Sea, stretching from the Stormy Illusionary Sea all the way to the southern part of the Endless Black Sea, it forms the second barrier between the Eastern and Southern Continents.

There aren't many Guangyan Sect cultivators on Phoenix Island; most of them are traitors to the Guangyan Sect, making it essentially a place of exile.

Although these cultivators betrayed the Guangyan Sect, they dared not seek refuge with the Wu Clan, because their families were still in the Eastern Continent.

Moreover, as long as these cultivators make contributions in the fight against the Witch Clan, they will have the opportunity to return to the Eastern Continent and even join the Guangyan Sect.

"Guangyan Sect's idea is excellent!" Zi Dong exclaimed, then strolled around Phoenix Island with Feng Qingwu and Zhou Xinyu.

“Every sect in the Eastern Continent has such a place; it wasn’t created by the Guangyan Sect!” Feng Qingwu curled her lip in disdain.

"Oh?!" Zi Dong was taken aback upon hearing this, and excitedly asked, "Then the Cloud Heaven Sect has one too?"

“Of course the Yuntian Sect has one, and it’s the largest in the Eastern Continent!” Feng Qingwu glanced at Zi Dong with a haughty expression.

"Junior Sister Qingwu, I'm asking where the Yuntian Sect's prison is," Zi Dong explained helplessly.

"What prison?!" Feng Qingwu was taken aback by the question, and Zhou Xinyu also looked at Zi Dong with a puzzled expression.

“Prison is a place of exile,” Zi Dong quickly explained, bringing up Earth’s terminology again.

“That’s a good word!” Feng Qingwu nodded in agreement. “Only the deacons and elders know where it is.”

“I’m a steward now, how come I didn’t know?!” Zi Dong immediately questioned.

"Because you've already been expelled from the Yuntian Sect!" Feng Qingwu looked at Zi Dong with schadenfreude.

"Then shouldn't I know?" Zhou Xinyu asked smugly.

"When did you break through?!" Feng Qingwu was surprised to sense that Zhou Xinyu had actually broken through to the Transformation Sea Realm, and couldn't help but ask sourly.

"Just now," Zhou Xinyu said casually, as if she had just eaten.

"Junior Sister Qingwu, you need to work harder!" Zi Dong said in a condescending tone, then quickly walked forward.

"Hmph, I can break through at any time!" Feng Qingwu glared angrily at Zhou Xinyu, who had caught up with Zi Dong.

Zi Dong and his two companions spent half a day searching, but they couldn't find a single rare and precious medicinal herb; they only found ordinary medicinal materials.

"You should still make the deal with Huo Qing. The people on Phoenix Island are all very idle; they've already got their eyes on all the rare and precious treasures!"

Feng Qingwu had to persuade Zi Dong that Phoenix Island was resource-scarce, and these cultivators were constantly searching the island, so there was no way they could leave anything for Zi Dong.

"Then let's go find the siren!" Zi Dong was also very frustrated. He thought he could get something for nothing, but he ended up getting nothing.

"Has something happened?!" Zhou Xinyu suddenly asked, as more and more cultivators were rushing from the island toward the sea.

"The sea monsters are attacking Phoenix Island, and Sect Master Huo Qing suspects that the Witch Clan is behind it!" Zi Dong said with a solemn expression.

Huo Qinggang had just sent him a message that the sea monsters had already surrounded the entire Phoenix Island and were rushing madly towards the island. As Zi Dong and the other two hurried towards the sea, the elders of the Yuntian Sect, leading members of the Demon Hunting Team and Wang family cultivators, were on their way to join them.

The shore of Phoenix Island is lined with towering reefs, like small hills, while the island itself is a flat forest.

After Zi Dong and the other two joined up with the elders, they hadn't even reached the shore when they heard the sounds of fierce fighting.

The sirens have surged onto the towering reefs on the shore and are engaged in a fierce battle with the cultivators on the island, along with many other sea beasts.

Zi Dong and his group did not rush over rashly. With the help of the sea, the sea monsters and sea beasts had already gained the upper hand.

"Sect Master Huo Qing, we should lure the sea monster into the island before killing it." Zi Dong quickly contacted Huo Qing so that they wouldn't have to face the impact of the seawater.

The siren's strength lies in its ability to harness the power of the sea. If it enters the inland areas, even the most powerful siren will be greatly weakened.

Huo Qing was well aware of Zi Dong's intentions: by luring the sea monsters inland, he could obtain a large number of inner cores and reduce his losses.

Under Huo Qing's command, the cultivators immediately retreated, and the sea monsters rushed down the reef and headed inland to pursue them.

Sea creatures cannot stay out of the sea for long, and fewer and fewer are able to follow the sea monsters in, making it impossible for the seawater to penetrate.

Cultivators need effective command in battle, especially when facing large numbers of sea monsters and sea beasts.

Even when sirens leave the sea, they carry a large amount of seawater with them, and they cooperate with each other using the seawater.

If human cultivators fight individually, they are easily surrounded and annihilated by sea monsters, not to mention the cooperation of sea beasts.

Huo Qing divided the Guangyan Sect cultivators and the island's cultivators into teams, constantly cutting the sea monsters apart and preventing them from coordinating.

Zi Dong led the Yun Tian Sect members and Wang family cultivators to circle around to the reefs on the shore and killed all the sea beasts left there.

Although sea beasts rarely have inner cores, their bodies are still rare materials that can fetch a good price when they return to the Eastern Continent.

Under Huo Qing's command, the sea monsters that rushed into the inland were in complete chaos, especially after entering the forest, where they were unable to communicate at all.

Zi Dong charged ahead, killing sea monsters and sea beasts along the way, collecting them all into the purple mist space condensed for him by the Eastern Purple Qi.

After the Xuan body was condensed, the purple qi from the east refined this space for Zi Dong, like a small world.

Although living creatures cannot survive for long, the space is large enough to hold these giant slain sea monsters and sea beasts.

Feng Qingwu and Zhou Xinyu followed behind Zi Dong, becoming increasingly alarmed as they watched. Zi Dong had already subdued over a hundred sea monsters and sea beasts.

Storage rings certainly can't do that, so does that mean Zi Dong has a huge space? Even a Void Breaking Realm cultivator's space isn't that big, right?
Most sirens are humanoid, yet they retain the characteristics of sea beasts, and each one is enormous.

The fish-like sea monsters are the most numerous, with two extra arms, running on their tails, and their bodies still covered in scales.

Octopuses and crabs are basically the same as before, but they can use their two tentacles to support their bodies to run and fight.

Zi Dong felt incredibly good. If this were on Earth, he would be rich; he had caught more than thirty lobsters.

These sirens must taste even better when grilled, Zi Dong thought excitedly as he killed them.

The battle lasted until the next morning, with more than half of the sirens killed and the Zi Dong group reaping a great harvest.

"Lord Zidong, we need to stay on the island for a while longer," Huo Qing said to Zidong, looking disheveled.

He had been fighting the sea monster head-on, while Zi Dong led his men to pick up the pieces from behind, which infuriated the Guangyan Sect cultivators.
