Chapter 33 Lord Umibo

Xiao Xikong looked at the sea behind him, and still followed Feng Tianning's footsteps in a "humiliating" manner.

Every household in the fishing village closed their doors, as if they were hiding from something terrible.

Feng Tianning knocked on a house's door. After a long time, a woman pulled a seven or eight-year-old child, opened the door a crack, and pushed the child out.

Feng Tianning looked at the child squatting on the ground with some confusion, then looked at the door that was closed again, and knocked on it again.

"Sir, this is really the only child I have in my family. Please let us go."

The woman didn't even look at Feng Tianning. As soon as she opened the door, she knelt on the ground crying.

Xiao Xikong frowned and walked over Feng Tianning to help the woman up.

How can the people of the Sakura Country kneel down to a Chinese?

"Auntie, we are... tourists from out of town. We're passing by here and would like to stay for one night."

The woman then looked up and saw their appearance clearly, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come in." The woman's eyes turned and she pulled Feng Tianning and Xiao Xikong into the house.

"My name is Mako, and this is my son Xiaomeng." Mako pushed the boy hiding behind him in front of Xiao Xikong.

Xiao Xikong raised his eyebrows proudly towards Feng Tianning. "Did you see that? The people of Sakura Country are just so warm and honest."

Feng Tianning didn't notice him at all, instead he turned his gaze to Zhenzi and Xiaomeng.

There was not a trace of resentment on their faces, and they were obviously living people. But how could there be living people in the strange domain?

"Who did you want to let you go just now?" Feng Tianning glanced at Zhenzi, his tone full of oppression.

"How do you talk to others!" Xiao Xikong glared at Feng Tianning. How come Chinese people have no manners at all?

"Mako, what happened to you? Tell me, and I will help you solve it."

Mako looked at Xiao Xikong, then slowly said:

"Every year, the village sacrifices a child who is eight years old or older to the Sea God so that he will bless us with safe voyages."

"It's my family's turn this year, but I only have one child, Xiao Meng!" Mako said, and began to cry.

Feng Tianning sneered, it was just another boring sacrifice plot from the storybook.

A true sea god would not ask for anything from mortals, but would do his best to save those trapped at sea.

This is the case with China's Mazu, which is why she is loved by later generations.

The sea god of the Sakura Country actually requires sacrifices before he is willing to do anything. I'm afraid he is not a sea god but an evil spirit.

"In fact, I secretly went to see them. They didn't sacrifice the children to the sea god at all. Instead, they took the children back to meet their various needs."

Mako's words were obscure, but Xiao Xikong understood them.

Many people in their country have various fetishes, but these scumbags can even harm children of a few years old!

Xiao Xikong clenched his fists at his sides and said solemnly:

"Don't worry, I will seek justice for you and your son!"

He has now completely forgotten that he is still in the strange domain, and only wants to show off in front of Feng Tianning.

Once his identity as the crown prince is revealed, how can those village officials dare to continue doing these things?

"Don't you think something is wrong?" Feng Tianning grabbed Xiao Xikong who was full of energy.

"If a sacrifice is to be made, the child should be sent to the village chief's house, or the whole village should offer sacrifice together at the seaside."

"How could every household keep their doors closed? It seems like they are hiding from something."

"What are you afraid of?" Feng Tianning glanced at Zhenzi, as if he wanted to see through her.

Mako's face turned pale, his lips trembled and he couldn't say a word. All he felt was fear of this woman.

"Feng Tianning, they are from my Sakura Country, so you naturally don't care about their lives."

Xiao Xikong felt a little distressed when he saw Zhenzi's appearance, and became furious when he thought of the nonsensical words Feng Tianning said.

Why is she still so aggressive when the mother and daughter are so pitiful?

Feng Tianning looked at Xiao Xikong speechlessly. She was about to ask the truth, so why did this person come out to muddy the waters?

Shouldn't the most important thing now be to leave this place? Besides, it's still unclear whether these so-called people here are human or ghosts.

How does the sentence in the book say?

I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates.

Feeling Mako's "admiring" gaze, Xiao Xikong hated this Chinese cultivator even more.

"I'm going to seek justice for you right now."

Xiao Xikong snorted coldly at Feng Tianning, walked straight to the door and was about to leave.

"Wait." Feng Tianning had just finished saying the words to stop him when Xiao Xikong had already opened the door.

A gigantic monk appeared outside the house. He was several meters tall, with only his upper body visible, his lower body submerged in a pool of suspended water. His head was bald, and his dark blue skin was covered in seaweed.

His eyes glowed like lanterns, and he looked at Xiao Xikong with a ferocious expression.

"Sea...Umibozu!" Xiao Xikong muttered three words with trembling lips.

"What did you catch today?" Umibozu stared at him without moving his mouth, but a hoarse voice came from above.

Mako rushed to Umibozu at lightning speed and said:

"Sir, today I caught two twenty-year-old foreigners."

With a wave of his hand, Haifangzhu knocked Mako to the ground with a black aura.

Feng Tianning walked to the door, and a line of black words appeared above Hai Fangzhu's head:

[Umibozu, Merit -300]

"Miss Feng, help me!"

When Xiao Xikong saw Feng Tianning, he felt like he had seen a savior, and he rolled and crawled to hide behind her.

"Hongmeng." Feng Tianning summoned the Hongmeng Holy Sword and rushed towards Hai Fangzhu without hesitation.

Feng Tianning was a little surprised that an evil spirit that had cultivated for three hundred years could actually refine a strange area.

Haifangzhu seemed to be angered by her actions. Several huge waves appeared out of thin air under his feet and turned into countless sharp water arrows, which quickly shot towards Feng Tianning with the fishy and salty sea breeze.

Several tentacle-like black shadows broke out of the ground and tried to wrap around her feet.

Feng Tianning made a hand gesture with one hand, and the golden barrier opened instantly. The water arrow hit the barrier and exploded into water mist all over the sky.

"Samadhi True Fire."

The tentacles were cut off by the flames almost instantly, and the bloody blood dyed the sand underground black.

Hai Fangzhu looked at Feng Tianning in shock, unable to understand how such a master could appear in his own strange domain.

Didn’t that person say that there was only a weak man?

Seeing that he was no match for his opponent, Umibozu suddenly dived into the ground, and for a moment the surroundings fell into an eerie silence.

Suddenly, the ground beneath Feng Tianning's feet turned into a rotten shipwreck. Countless pale arms stretched out from the ground, and the wailing sounds pierced his soul.

"This is my strange domain, no matter how strong your cultivation is, it doesn't matter!"

Feng Tianning didn't say anything. He closed his eyes and released his spiritual sense, and soon discovered an unusual fluctuation of spiritual power.

"I got you."
