Rumble!!!
The seawater receded, and the ocean surged back, making an earth-shattering roar. Soon, everyone was able to look at each other, but no one was injured. Everyone was standing in the air, unharmed.
However, what happened just now was definitely real. Everyone looked at each other blankly, and then at the chaotic ocean. It was very likely that a group of strange beasts had attacked them from the ocean, but they left inexplicably, making everyone confused.
Everyone looked at their companions to see if there was any problem, but no one was.
However …
Boom!!!
Suddenly, another loud noise came from the ocean, making the 600 level-9 Heavenly Masters in the sky tremble and look!
The sound came from none other than the place where the seven representatives were. The sound was because … a huge ironwing corpse had crashed into the ocean!
That's right, only one.
Everyone stared at the leaders of the seven factions, including the leaders themselves!
Only six people left!
One was missing!
In the distance, Ceng Ping's eyes widened, and her body shook violently. Then, without saying anything, she rushed toward the ocean at full speed!
That's right, the one missing was none other than Dong Huashun.
Boom!!
In an instant, Ceng Ping rushed into the turbulent ocean! The other Heavenly Masters of the Ice Fire Alliance were stunned. After all, Ceng Ping was a core elder. Everyone followed her immediately!
Since the Ice Fire Alliance had moved, the other four factions couldn't just stand by and watch. They followed without hesitation. However, the other factions didn't enter the ocean rashly. After all, they didn't know what race the strange beasts were, their numbers, and their strength. The ocean was very different from the sky. Even humans of the same level wouldn't dare to enter the ocean.
Gurgle!
The sound of rushing water brushed past Ceng Ping's ears. She dived more than 3,000 feet at full speed and continued to sink until she reached a depth of 4,500 feet. Ceng Ping was only at the late stage of level-8. To her, this depth was already very stressful. 5,000 feet was basically her limit. If she encountered an undercurrent, she might be swept away and die.
However, Ceng Ping didn't stop at all. She wouldn't stop until she found the strange beast that attacked her!
However, just as she was about to lose her mind and pay the price for her impulsiveness, someone successfully blocked her path.
Bang!
The core elder of the Fire Mountain Sect, Wu Qiang, immediately appeared in front of Ceng Ping. He grabbed Ceng Ping's shoulder and forcibly blocked Ceng Ping's path!
"I can't go any further!" Wu Qiang immediately shouted, "If something happens further down, everyone will drown in the deep sea, including you!"
But Ceng Ping didn't listen. She immediately used all her strength to push Wu Qiang's hand away. Wu Qiang let go, but at this moment, another figure appeared in front of Ceng Ping. It was Li Yin from the Flower Moon Sect.
Because of Lu An's comprehensive treatment, Li Yin only needed to sleep on the bed to recover. Naturally, he would lead the team to participate in this mission. Li Yin blocked Zeng Ping's path and immediately said, "Elder Zeng, the other party has already run away. If we continue to chase, we might fall into the other party's trap. We have to go out and think of a way. Being impulsive will only harm us!"
Ceng Ping looked at Li Yin. She had not lost her rationality. She understood the logic, but she was worried. She was worried that Dong Huashun might be in despair if she did not try her best to save him.
Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, Ceng Ping would never give up. She gritted her teeth and said, "You guys take my people and leave. Don't worry about me. I'll find him myself!"
Then, Ceng Ping was about to dash out from between the two, heading deeper into the sea.
Li Yin frowned. Lu An had saved her life twice. She couldn't just stand by and watch Ceng Ping throw her life away. Thus, the moment Ceng Ping passed by her, Li Yin immediately took action. Ceng Ping was caught off guard and directly hit the back of her neck!
Bang!
The sea shook. Seeing this, Wu Qiang looked at Li Yin in shock. Li Yin immediately grabbed the unconscious Ceng Ping and said to Wu Qiang, "Elder Wu, please lead the team of the Flower Moon Sect and the Ice Fire Union to carry out the mission. I'll take her back first!"
Wu Qiang took a deep breath and said immediately, "Okay!"

Ice Fire City, Eight Ancient Continent.
In the City Master's Palace, a blue and white Teleport Formation glowed. Two figures appeared from it. They were Li Yin and the unconscious Ceng Ping.
Li Yin was received by Liu Yi immediately. Lu An, Yao Yao, and Beauty Yang were all there. Anyway, everybody was worried about this mission. They had been out for less than half an hour, so no one left.
Seeing the unconscious Ceng Ping, everybody was shaken. Liu Yi asked in a low voice, "Elder Li, what happened?"
Li Yin didn't hide anything. She immediately told her what had happened. Everybody was startled. It was hard to imagine that such a strange thing could happen!
After reporting, Li Yin left quickly, heading back to the sea to continue leading the team. Ceng Ping was arranged to rest. Someone was sent to guard her so that she wouldn't do anything rash. People in the room sat down, frowning.
"That's a lot of effort. They didn't hurt anyone and only captured one person. Obviously, they're aiming at our Ice Fire Union," said Beauty Yang coldly.
Seeing Beauty Yang come to a conclusion so quickly, Lu An And Yao's heart tightened. Liu Yi nodded and said, "They came prepared. If they could capture Dong Huashun in a blink of an eye, it means they also have the power to kill Dong Huashun instantly. However, they didn't do that. It means they want to use Dong Huashun to negotiate with us."
"To create such a big commotion, even if it's just a peak level 8 Exotic Beast, they need at least twenty of them. This isn't an ordinary race. At least, it's a first-class or second-class race. Perhaps, it's even … a top-class race." Beauty Yang analyzed. "They know exactly where we are. It means the news of this mission has been leaked. Someone even told the Exotic Beast Race about it."
Listening to the other two's analysis, Lu An And Yao understood the facts quickly. Yao pondered and asked, "In other words … Dong Huashun will be okay?"
"At least he'll be alive." Liu Yi looked at Yao and said, "But I don't know how well he'll be alive."
With that said, Liu Yi looked at Lu An and said solemnly, "Fortunately, the person leading the team today is not my husband, nor is it a member of our family. Otherwise, the situation would be even more troublesome. The other party must be targeting my husband. Therefore, my husband shouldn't move around for the rest of the time to avoid danger. If nothing unexpected happens, the Exotic Beast Race hiding in the dark will send someone to contact us and discuss their conditions. "
Lu An took a deep breath when he heard this. He frowned and said, "In other words, we can only wait?"
"That's right." Liu Yi said, "There's no other way."
"…"
Lu An was silent, but he knew that Liu Yi was much smarter than him. Even Liu Yi couldn't think of a better way. He could only nod solemnly. Liu Yi saw Lu An's solemn expression and comforted him, "Don't worry. As long as the other party is an Oceanic Exotic Beast, we have a high chance of rescuing him. Don't forget that we still have the Life and Death Alliance. Which race would dare to not give face to the Heavenly Tiger Race? "
Lu An nodded and said, "But we have to find out who leaked the news."
Without Lu An's reminder, Liu Yi would naturally do so. After pondering for a while, she said, "Among the sects, only Guang You Sect, Karmic Fire Sect and Myriad Light Sect have a feud with us. But from their ability to communicate with Exotic Beasts, and including the Heavenly Mystical Sect, the possibility of it being the other sects is not high."
"For this incident, Guang You Sect will be the most suspicious of all the sects. After all, we have had a huge conflict during this period of time." Beauty Yang said, "But the more it is so, the more Guang You Sect shouldn't do such a thing in front of all the other sects. Otherwise, it would be playing with fire."
"I think so too." Liu Yi nodded gently and said, "It's more likely that some sect wants to use this to hurt both us and Guang You Sect."
Hearing Liu Yi and Beauty Yang's words, Lu An's heart shook again!
If that was the case, then the biggest possibility was … Karmic Fire Sect!
Lu An And Yao's expression was very surprised and solemn. Liu Yi knew that the two of them had already understood which sect she was talking about, but she still said, "But we don't have any evidence for this matter. There's no way to determine that it was done by Karmic Fire Sect. It's also possible that Guang You Sect did the opposite. Before we have concrete evidence, we can't casually blame any sect. Otherwise, we will only invite more trouble."
Lu An took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Okay."
