Everyone in the cave looked at each other. It was the first time they had heard of such a thing. However, even if it was not the first time they had heard of it, it was unlikely that they would associate it with the sacred beasts from the outer sea.
The probability of them waiting for it once in a thousand years was too low.
Jin Zhanzheng's expression changed slightly. "Once in a thousand years? Could it be related to the Island of Ice?"
Everyone's eyes lit up. With their status, of course, they knew what kind of place the Island of Ice was in the Northern Frontier. They also knew the importance of this place. However, the Northern and Southern Territories were very far apart. It was not easy to associate the two together without sufficient imagination.
Hua Ruijin nodded gently. "I don't know if it is related, but the only thing I can be sure of is that once a large number of sacred beasts from the outer sea enter the Southern Frontier, the Island of Ice in the Northern Frontier will definitely appear within a hundred years."
Everyone who was familiar with Hua Ruijin exchanged glances. They thought to themselves that it was indeed related to the Island of Ice. It seemed that the rumor from the Northern Frontier about the Island of Ice's reappearance was true.
Although the Island of Ice had only appeared a few times, there would be a large number of signs before it appeared. It was inevitable that people would be able to catch a certain pattern.
Lin Xiangqing had been muttering to herself. She only opened her mouth at this moment. "Brother Hua, do these sacred beasts like to attack ships when they come to the Southern Frontier?"
Hua Ruijin waved his hand and said, "Although they come from the outer sea, most of them hide in the sea and don't show themselves. Even if our island's disciples encounter them when they go out to fish, they won't be in any danger."
Lin Xiangqing was stunned for a moment. "If that's the case, why do so many of us find and attack them?"
Among the people who came this time, only Xu Daming and Lin Xiangqing were not attacked by the sea monsters. The rest of the people were in a much more difficult situation. The Grand Divine Wind Palace and the Blessed Enclave were considered lucky, but the ships from the Northwest were destroyed and the people died.
Hua Ruijin smiled bitterly and said, "If this Old Master's guess is correct, it should be because of you."
Lin Xiangqing was surprised. "Brother Hua, please enlighten us."
Hua Ruijin stroked his long beard and said seriously, "You may not know this, but these Holy Beasts don't have any evil intentions towards ordinary people. As long as ordinary people don't try to hunt them, there won't be any trouble. However, if there's a Venerable cultivator's aura on the ship, then it's fine if the Holy Beasts don't encounter them. But if they do, they'll most likely attack. " He swept his gaze over the crowd and said, "This time, Brother Xu and Brother Lin were extremely lucky and didn't encounter these Saint Beasts. However, the other friends' luck wasn't so good."
Everyone nodded. Only then did they come to a realization. The Qilian Twin Devils' eyes suddenly lit up. He said, "Everyone, since there are suddenly so many saint beasts in the South Sea, why don't we work together to kill a few?"
Everyone, including He Yiming, was moved.
In the sea, being able to become a spirit beast was already quite good. Saint beasts were even rarer.
As everyone knew, the sacred beasts in the ocean were much stronger than the sacred beasts on land. The Neidan, skin, flesh, and blood on their bodies were all rare items. Nobody would complain about having too many of those items.
Seeing as everyone was moved, the Great Devil added fuel to the fire. "There are so many of us here. Once we show up, there's a high chance that we'll attract the Holy Beasts. I don't believe that any of the Holy Beasts will be able to escape from us. "
Everyone else nodded. If they worked together, they would have a high chance of succeeding.
Who knew, Hua Ruijin sighed and said, "Everyone, you mustn't do that."
The Great Devil was dumbfounded. "Brother Hua, is there a taboo here?"
Hua Ruijin had a grave look on his face. "These Holy Beasts from the outer sea aren't only mighty, but they're also as cunning as foxes. When they encounter ships, they'll sense the Venerable Ones' auras. If they know they're no match for them, they won't show themselves at all. Moreover, they're too fast in the sea, so even Venerable Ones that have comprehended walking in the water might not be able to catch up to them."
He Yiming nodded. He had a deep understanding of this.
The Silver Eel King was definitely not one of the fastest species in the sea, but even so, he could not even catch up to a fish tail if he hurried in the sea. If he encountered some of the fastest Holy Beasts, only the white horse could catch up to them.
The Great Devil grinned. "Brother Hua, you don't need to worry. I'm sure we have many friends who are adept in concealing art. As long as 2 to 3 of them release their auras, the rest of us will do our best to hide."
Hua Ruijin still shook his head. "Brother Great Devil, you're underestimating these Holy Beasts. Their sensing abilities are so great that they're far from what we can imagine. Moreover, these Holy Beasts are exceptionally smart. Once there are too many of us, they'll also call for their friends. Even if they're sworn enemies in the sea, they'll put aside their grudges and deal with Venerable Ones among us first. " He paused for a while before he continued, "Several thousand years ago, when these Outer Sea Monsters first came, the powerhouses from the southern border joined hands to encircle them once. That said … "
He shook his head with a rather bitter look on his face.
The others instantly understood that the encirclement did not go smoothly this time. In fact, they suffered heavy losses, or Hua Ruijin would not have such an expression.
Li Jiangfeng sighed and said loudly, "Everyone, most of the Southern Border's top-notch powerhouses worked together during the encirclement back then. In the beginning, we achieved considerable results by killing 3 of the Outer Sea's Holy Beasts. Who knew, during the fourth encounter, those Holy Beasts seemed to have made an agreement beforehand as they gathered twice as many people as we did. As a result, almost half of the Southern Border's powerhouses died during the battle, and their vitality was greatly damaged. They only recovered after a thousand years. "
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. This result was indeed shocking.
"Brother Li, was there a top-notch powerhouse from the people's path holding down the fort back then?" He Yiming asked in a deep voice.
Li Jiangfeng nodded and answered, "Yes."
Everyone's faces turned ghastly. Even a top-notch powerhouse from the people's path had led a team that lost half of its members. If that was the case, they would not even be qualified to fill the gaps between the Holy Beasts' teeth.
He Yiming's face twitched as he asked, "Will the top-notch Holy Beasts from the Outer Sea also come?"
Li Jiangfeng shook his head and said, "I haven't seen top-notch Holy Beasts in the past few thousand years, but there are many second-tier Holy Beasts. When several second-tier Holy Beasts join forces, even a top-notch powerhouse from the people's path won't be able to win in an environment like the ocean. "
He Yiming and the others nodded. Especially after the battle with the Silver Eel King, He Yiming clearly knew how powerful those Holy Beasts could be in the ocean. If there were more Holy Beasts comparable to the White Horse Lightning, even a top-notch powerhouse from the people's path would find it difficult to deal with them in the vast ocean.
Xu Daming looked around and suddenly asked, "I'm afraid that the Great Shen Yu family won't send anyone this time, but why hasn't Brother Hao Xue arrived yet?"
Everyone intentionally or unintentionally glanced in He Yiming's direction. However, He Yiming sat there as steadily as a mountain. There was no change in his expression at all.
Xu Daming did not suspect anything when he said that; he was just saying it casually. If Ou Yangming acted strangely, it would inevitably attract suspicion.
Hua Ruijin pondered for a while and said, "I hope Brother Hao doesn't encounter any troublesome Holy Beasts from the Outer Sea. If he encounters top-notch ones …" He smiled bitterly and stopped talking.
Everyone discussed for a while, but nobody suggested going into the ocean to capture the Holy Beasts from the Outer Sea. Instead, they gradually changed the topic to the war between the East and the West.
They did not know much about the powerhouses from the Western world.
It was true that the regions were too far apart, and the appearances of both sides were too different. Apart from trade caravans, it was almost impossible to send scouts to each other's territories to gather information.
Needless to say, the real main reason was that both sides lived in different places, and powerhouses rarely interacted with each other.
In the past, Jin Zhanzheng went to the West to challenge equal-ranked powerhouses, and he was considered an anomaly. It was precisely because there were too few madmen like him that he could go on a rampage as if no one was around for a year, which was why he attracted the attention of Venerable Ones and was hunted down.
If not, nobody would believe that a Three Flower powerhouse from the East would go to the West alone to challenge powerhouses.
Nonetheless, this was the southern border, after all, and it was also a neutral place in the war between the East and the West.
Among the islands in the southern border, Colored Glass Island was naturally close to the East, but there were also many islands that were close to the West. Moreover, if they joined forces, their strength could not be underestimated.
Due to this special nature, Colored Glass Island was quite well-informed about the war between both sides.
According to Hua Ruijin's introduction, there were not many famous new powerhouses in the West in the past few decades, and there were very few outstanding ones among them.
On the other hand, the West was also vast and had countless talents. Among them, the 2 most famous young powerhouses had successfully become Venerable Ones before the age of 200, and they had gained a lot in the trials between Heaven and Hell in the West.
Needless to say, all of this was only a rumor. Before one met the real person, everything could not be accurate.
Before the battles between the new Venerable Ones from the East and the West in the past, all of the new Venerable Ones would act as if they were facing a great enemy, and they dared not be careless at all.
This time, everyone's expressions were obviously much more relaxed. They always had confident smiles on their faces. Even when they heard that 2 rare genius powerhouses had appeared among the Western powerhouses, nobody showed the slightest bit of worry.
Nevertheless, He Yiming could clearly sense that everyone was looking at him a little more.
After a long time, the banquet ended. 3 days later, Li Jiangfeng personally informed everyone that the West's emissary had arrived at Colored Glass Island, and Hua Ruijin invited everyone to meet him.
