The one who descended from the sky was none other than the Sect Master of the Blue Medicine Sect, Sen Lu.
However, the once high-spirited Sen Lu now looked a lot worse for wear. His whole body was covered in blood and even his clothes were in tatters.
"Sect Master, what's wrong?" You Zhu hurried over to Sen Lu and helped him up. At the same time, she took out a rare grade pill and handed it over.
"It's nothing. I'm just going to fight him head-on. He won't be able to win." Sen Lu was helped up by him, but he didn't take the pill. He coughed twice and said, "It's fine.
"Father, are you alright?!" At this time, Sen Yan also rushed over from the side. Seeing the blood coming out from Sen Lu's mouth, she took out a handkerchief and wiped it for him.
"Haha, don't worry, I won't die. The Sea King took a vicious blow from me, so he won't be any better than me. At least he'll be done for. There's no need to fear him." Sen Lu chuckled, not caring about his injuries at all.
While they were talking, the Sea King also slowly descended from above.
Because of Sen Lu's return, everyone on the battlefield was gradually extinguished. Although they looked much better than Sen Lu on the surface, everyone could see that the other party must have suffered serious injuries. Otherwise, Sen Lu wouldn't have been able to recover over there.
"Father, swallow this. This is the Rain Pill you gave me. I've been keeping it." Sen Yan carefully took out an exquisite little box and took out a pill from it.
The surface of the medicinal pill was covered in a layer of clouds that seemed like rain and mist. If one looked carefully, one could notice that it was drizzling ceaselessly into the medicinal pill. It was a medicinal pill that could absolutely be considered to be capable of bringing the dead back to life, and it was a rare treasure even to a peak Golden Immortal.
This time, Sen Lu didn't refuse. Facing his daughter's worried face, he swallowed it in one gulp.
Behind him, You Zhu saw this and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. However, she quickly retracted it and no one noticed the slight change.
"You Zhu, get ready to activate the teleportation. I don't think they can fight now. We'll force our way out later." She whispered.
You Zhu nodded and began to get busy.
"Lord Hai, what should we do next?"
The Sea King also swallowed a precious pill and felt the surging medicinal power in his body. He felt that he had indeed underestimated his opponent. Otherwise, he wouldn't have suffered such a great loss. When he heard his subordinate's question, he hesitated for a moment before answering.
"Don't be anxious. Let's wait and see. Maybe the turn of events will come."
At this time, the two sides of the valley were clearly separated, and the middle was already in a mess. There were traces of battle and blood everywhere.
Only after calming down from the frenzied battle did everyone realize just how great their losses were. This was especially true for the Blue Medicine Sect. They had lost a lot of their elite disciples and foreign aid.
Of course, the losses on the Oceanic Tribe's side were relatively lesser, but it still made the Sea King's heart ache. Even if they weren't his subordinates, he couldn't afford to lose too many of them. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to answer to the patriarchs.
The entire valley was in a stalemate in a strange atmosphere. However, the people on Sen Lu's side began to move. Some of them began to walk towards the teleportation array. If they didn't stop the other party now, it was very likely that they would have to watch the other party leave.
The Sea King's eyes were fixed on the silver bracelet in Sen Lu's hand. He knew that the most precious and valuable things were in there. But in the face of the other party's movements, there was a bit of a commotion on his side.
He suppressed the movements of his subordinates because he had seen the signal from You Zhu. It filled him with confidence that the final victory would still be on his side. He quietly waited for the situation to develop, as if he didn't care that the other party could teleport away at any time.
Sen Lu looked at the Sea King in the distance, who was staring at him from the beginning. He glared back, especially when he felt that he had regained some movement in his body.
"Hmm? What's going on? Why do I feel a little cold? " At this moment, Sen Lu suddenly felt a chill in his body. It was as if it was slowly spreading out from inside his body.
"Could it be the other party's last resort? Is that why he's been watching me? "Sen Lu suddenly thought. At the same time, he mobilized the magic power that had just appeared in his body to suppress the source.
On the surface, he still maintained his appearance, making it impossible for others to see the changes in his body. Even Sen Yan beside him didn't notice.
However, You Zhu, who was always aware of this, saw this scene and a trace of joy and resentment flashed in her eyes. She continued to busy herself, waiting for the right time to act.
After only half a cup of tea's time, most of the people, including those from the Blue Medicine Sect, were already standing on top, waiting for the final moment to leave. The sea race didn't seem to have any intention of stopping them.
"Sect Master Sen, everything is ready. Can we leave now?" You Zhu came behind Sen Lu and respectfully asked.
"Okay, let's leave now." Sen Lu's body suddenly turned around, but his voice was a little out of tune. The moment he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
You Zhu's face turned pale with fright and immediately stepped forward to help Sen Lu.
Sen Lu didn't care, his mind was completely focused on his body. The chill seemed to be getting heavier and heavier. When he was at his peak, it would be easy for him to suppress it, but now it had become a fatal factor. He had to quickly leave and find a way to suppress it. He couldn't let the other party notice.
But suddenly, a cold light flashed in the air. He only felt his chest tighten and lowered his head in disbelief.
A crystal blue dagger was stuck in his chest.
"You were the one who gave me this dagger. Did you know that the original owners of this dagger were my parents? When you killed them, did you ever think that this day would come?" You Zhu said in a low voice, somewhat carefree.
Bang!
On the other side, Sen Lu slammed his palm into You Zhu's chest, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood and fall heavily to the side. Sen Lu no longer had the strength to maintain his body and knelt on the ground.
He had been on guard for so long, but he still miscalculated at the last moment.
However, the Sea King laughed heartily and rushed towards them at top speed.
"What's going on?!" Seeing this scene, Sen Yan came from behind. She didn't know why her father suddenly attacked You Zhu.
But when she turned around, she saw a dagger stuck in Sen Lu's chest. She was stunned.
She knew that dagger belonged to her husband. She often saw him fondly playing with it. Occasionally, she would see him looking at it in a daze.
But now, it was stuck in her father's chest.
"Yan 'er, it seems I really was blind. The other side actually betrayed us. Just how many benefits did the sea race give you for you to do this?" Sen Lu felt his strength leaving his body. It was extremely difficult for him to stand up and kill his opponent again. That dagger still had poison on it that was effective against him. It made him dizzy and weak.
The other side had been completely prepared. Sen Lu had tested him several times and hadn't found any flaws. He had really risked his life to hide. Who could have expected this?
"How is this possible?!" Sen Yan looked at her father and then at You Zhu, who was crawling up. She couldn't believe this.
"Tell me this is just a misunderstanding, right? Hurry up and give my father the antidote! "Sen Yan's eyes were filled with tears as she cried out to You Zhu.
"It's all true. I came here to kill him. I have to avenge my parents and my entire clan." You Zhu didn't dare look into Sen Yan's eyes, but she still spoke ruthlessly.
This time, Sen Yan was paralyzed and fell to the ground. She had never thought that she would encounter such a thing. She had thought that she was the happiest person in the world.
"Haha, Sen Lu, I bet you didn't expect this. Everything you did was right under my nose. No matter how much you schemed, you didn't expect this to happen."
The Sea King had already arrived. Everyone in front of him subconsciously retreated and couldn't help but laugh.
"Forget it, I can't be bothered to argue with you. Give it to me." The Sea King glanced at the livid Sen Lu. His entire body was forcefully holding up as he spoke disinterestedly.
At the same time, he grabbed Sen Lu's hand and took off the bracelet. He looked inside and immediately smiled. This time, it was definitely enough. Sacrificing so many people was worth it.
Fortunately, Gu Zheng had roped in Asura. Otherwise, even if they had won, it would have been a pyrrhic victory. Perhaps other than venting his hatred for his son, it would have been even more of a loss.
"You bastard, take back our things." Sen Yan, who placed the sect above all else, saw that the Sea King had taken away her treasured collection of thousands of years. It was also her father's most precious item. She didn't care about the Sea King's strength and directly rushed forward to take it back.
"Yan 'er, don't!"
You Zhu and Sen Lu shouted at the same time.
Sen Yan rushed forward as if she had forgotten her own strength. She waved her fists like an ordinary girl. Her chaotic attacks fell on the Sea King's body as if they were just tickles.
"Scram, I don't have time to play with you." The Sea King raised his hand and Sen Yan's body flew away.
Just as he was about to do something else, Sen Yan seemed to have calmed down after blocking such a blow. She took out a weapon and rushed towards the Sea King as if she wanted to die together with him.
When the surrounding people saw her like this, they wanted to stop her from walking right into the trap. However, they saw that the marine race didn't dare to come out. Even the people from the Blue Medicine Sect turned their heads away, not daring to watch the next scene.
At this time, Sen Lu's aura was very weak. At this time, he could no longer withstand the poison that the Sea King had specially prepared for him. He could die at any time. He didn't know anything about the outside world.
In response to Sen Yan's attack, the Sea King looked at the weapon in her hand. It was of such high quality that it was definitely a waste for her to use it. However, it could definitely hurt him. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
He had given her a chance but she didn't cherish it. Then, he wouldn't be polite.
In the next moment, the Sea King's body moved and his palm directly hit Sen Yan's abdomen. He didn't show any mercy. This attack would definitely make her flower disappear.
However, just as Sen Yan was about to die, a figure suddenly appeared between the Sea King and Sen Yan.
Bang!
Puchi!
The Sea King's palm directly imprinted on the person's back. He subconsciously exerted more force and directly shattered the person's heart meridians.
A short sword was also mostly stuck in the person's abdomen. Only the tip of the sword could be seen from the person's back.
"You Zhu, what are you doing?" The Sea King looked at You Zhu in front of him and asked in disbelief.
However, You Zhu didn't reply at all. He only moved his mouth slightly and transmitted a message to the Sea King. Then, he looked at the equally shocked Sen Yan.
"Yan 'er, I'm sorry. The thousands of lives in my family are in my heart. I have to take revenge. Otherwise, I would have died long ago."
As You Zhu spoke, he spat out blood. Every word that came out of his mouth was extremely painful.
"Husband." Sen Yan looked at the blood in her hand and was in a daze. She thought of how You Zhu usually doted on her and hugged him. However, she didn't dare to pull out the short sword in her hand.
"Listen to me. I know you hate me. I don't blame you. I already knew that my ending wouldn't be good." You Zhu's face became increasingly gloomy. The vitality in his body was depleting at an extremely fast speed.
"But I really love you. Even if I have to give up my life, I'm willing to protect you. Unfortunately, I can't continue to accompany you. Promise me that you will live well. Even if it's to avenge your father, I'm willing to accompany you. Unfortunately, I have to leave first …"
As he spoke, You Zhu's body suddenly trembled. His entire body fell limply to the ground. At the same time, the last trace of light in his eyes disappeared.
"Husband!"
Sen Yan hugged You Zhu's body and cried loudly. At this moment, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart. It was so painful that she almost couldn't breathe. She looked to the side and heard a "plop" sound. Sen Lu, who was beside her, was also lying on the ground. He had completely lost his life.
A hero of a generation who had reigned for so many years had finally fallen at the last step.
"Father!"
Sen Yan let out a heart-wrenching cry. She couldn't bear such a blow and fainted. She laid on You Zhu's body.
When the Sea King saw this, he felt a little uncomfortable. The main reason was that he was the one who caused You Zhu's death.
Sighing, the Sea King walked towards You Zhu.
"What are you doing!"
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the side. An old man flew out from the side and blocked the Sea King's path.
"I want to take my people away. Are you trying to stop me?" The Sea King looked at the man who wasn't afraid of death. However, he had the mark given to him by Gu Zheng.
"I'm sorry. Even if he betrayed us, he is still a member of the Blue Medicine Sect. If you want to take him away, you'll have to step over my dead body." Elder Qi said without fear.
When he came out, he had already heard the second half of the conversation. You Zhu's blood feud and betrayal of the Blue Medicine Sect. But from the other side's standpoint, there was no fault to be found. If he was still alive, he would have skinned the other side alive.
But no matter what, he couldn't let the other side take his people away.
You Zhu's contribution was so great that if it wasn't for this one time, the next Sect Master would probably make an exception for him. In theory, his contribution was even greater than Sen Lu's. It was because of his existence that the Blue Medicine Sect could develop to such a scale.
For the Blue Medicine Sect, their feelings were very complicated. After all, the other side's biggest mistake was killing Sen Lu.
"Is that so?" The Sea King looked at the man's arm. There was a standard silver bracelet of the Blue Medicine Sect. It was specially made to store special terrain items. The other side had been in there for so long that he had probably emptied it.
"If you want it, you'll have to kill me first." Elder Qi looked at the other side's eyes and said without fear.
If it wasn't for the mark that Gu Zheng had placed on the other side, the Sea King would have killed him immediately. How dare he speak to him like this.
"Let them go. You've achieved your goal anyway. The person who hurt your son is dead. You've also gotten the most precious thing. Don't be so ruthless."
Just as the Sea King's eyes swept over and he was thinking, two women suddenly flew out from behind him.
The Sea King turned his head and saw Pan Xuan and a woman he didn't know. However, he could sense Gu Zheng's aura on her. He knew who she was at first glance.
"What does he mean?" The Sea King asked tentatively.
"Yes!"
Pan Xuan said without hesitation. After all, this was what Gu Zheng had asked her to do before he left. Fortunately, she wasn't too late.
"Alright, tell this woman that if she wants to help her husband and father, she'll have to cultivate more. I'll be waiting for her in the North Sea." The Sea King thought for a moment and agreed. He then turned his head and said to Elder Qi.
Elder Qi didn't seem to appreciate it at all. He ordered a few people from his sect to bring Sen Lu and the others back. A few of the maids also helped Sen Yan back to her feet and returned to the teleportation array.
As the array was activated, everyone quickly disappeared. At the same time, the array was completely destroyed by the other side, making it impossible to track down their whereabouts.
After everyone left, the Sea King's figure flickered to Pan Xuan's side.
"Where's Gu Zheng? This time, no matter what, I'll have a drink with him. " The Sea King laughed. Although he had let the other side go this time, he had still achieved his overall goal. Moreover, he had suffered fewer losses. How could he not be happy?
"I don't know. Right now, I only know that Young Master Gu is still alive. However, I can't sense his exact location. It seems like he's no longer in the Eldritch World." Zi Yi's eyes flashed with a trace of worry as she spoke truthfully.
"How could this be?" The Sea King was shocked, but he immediately comforted her.
"Gu Zheng is a lucky man. He'll definitely be fine. Since he's still alive, he'll come out sooner or later. I'm absolutely sure of that."
"Thank you for your kind words." Zi Yi said somewhat gloomily. If it wasn't for the trace of bloodline connection, she would have thought that Gu Zheng was no longer around.
"Then let's go back first!" The Sea King waved his hand. He didn't ask around, nor did he search for anything. He directly led everyone back.
Their return caused the Oceanic Tribe members who had been waiting outside to cheer. To everyone, this battle was fundamentally a glorious one.
They had rescued their own people, and everyone had also received generous spoils of war. Coupled with the fact that they had suffered very few losses, it could almost be said to be perfect.
The four patriarchs also returned at the same time. Following the departure of the Blue Medicine Sect, the elders who had fought with them also left. They didn't chase after them. Seeing that the Sea King had also returned, they asked around a little. After the Sea King revealed the spoils of war, everyone's face revealed a blooming smile.
Seven days later.
Pan Xuan led all her people to bid farewell. She once again embarked on the journey back with Zi Yi. Although the mission had failed this time, fortunately, they didn't lose any of their own people. It was also a blessing in disguise.
As for what to say when they returned, even the people related to the Patriarch had died. She was sure that this time, she would only receive a reward and no punishment.
There was no other reason. Asura's strength had been preserved.
