After Chen Feng set foot on the land of Haizhou, he did not rush to carry out his action plan. Because as soon as he arrived, he keenly sensed an unsettling and tense atmosphere permeating the place.

Everywhere you look, you can see large numbers of police officers marching in neat and powerful steps through the streets and alleys. They look serious and vigilant, watching their surroundings closely.

Not only that, many strong individuals from the martial arts department also joined the team to maintain order.

These people were agile and exuded a powerful aura. They worked together with the patrol officers to carry out patrol missions.

In addition, many local martial artists in Haizhou spontaneously organized themselves to form joint patrol teams.

Dressed in uniform and carrying various weapons, they patrolled back and forth in every corner of the city.

This tight patrol deployment made Haizhou resemble a heavily guarded fortress, where no movement seemed to escape their watchful eyes.

However, this is only a superficial phenomenon.

With his extraordinary perception, Chen Feng was able to clearly sense that behind this seemingly peaceful city, there were actually quite a few powerful martial artists hiding.

After a careful investigation, he was surprised to find that there were as many as five experts of the third rank!

Two of them were located in the bustling city of Haizhou, while the other three lurked in the vast, turbulent sea outside the city, as mysterious and unpredictable as deep-sea dragons.

“Vice Minister Zhou! This is truly unexpected. It seems that you would personally come to Haizhou City. This situation does not look good.”

At this moment, in the magnificent and solemn Governor's Mansion in Haizhou, Governor Zheng Zhibin is warmly welcoming Zhou Gan, the Vice Minister of the Great Xia Martial Arts Department.

This morning, Zhou Gan led more than 100 elite martial artists from the headquarters of the Great Xia Martial Arts Department to Haizhou by private plane.

This group of followers were all exceptionally strong, with more than ten of them reaching the fourth-grade Grandmaster level, and the rest were all elite experts with fifth or sixth-grade cultivation.

Their arrival undoubtedly stirred up a ripple in the originally peaceful Haizhou.

"Governor Zheng, I don't know if you've sensed it, but the top-tier sea beasts in the outer sea are stirring. According to headquarters, they might attack Haizhou City," Zhou Gan said with a serious expression.

“We’ve been monitoring the situation in the open sea, and we noticed something was off yesterday. We were just about to report to the Martial Arts Department today when you arrived.

Last night, I convened a meeting overnight and announced that Haizhou would be placed under wartime control. All martial artists must be at the command of the Governor's Office, and a martial artist militia will be formed to patrol the entire area, monitoring both various cult organizations and the situation in the outer sea.

"Vice Minister Zhou, it's said that some mysterious powerful figures are eradicating evil god cult organizations in various places, which is why they've gathered in Haizhou. Is that true?" Zheng Zhibin asked nervously.

"That's right. Now, in the entire Great Xia territory, apart from Haizhou where there is still an evil god cult organization, all other states have been eradicated by the mysterious powerful figure. Only a small number of evil god cult members from other states have fled to Haizhou."

However, this move seemed to have angered various cult organizations of evil gods in the Eastern Islands, so they sent a large number of members to Haizhou, hoping to use the Sea God Cult to contact powerful sea monsters in the outer sea and launch a retaliatory attack on Haizhou. "Zhou Gan said with a solemn expression.

"Who exactly is that mysterious expert? Could he be a Martial Saint? Has he also come to Haizhou?" Zheng Zhibin asked hurriedly.

"We haven't found out the other party's identity yet, but he is very powerful, has very sophisticated methods, and is skilled in disguise. We probably won't be able to find out his true identity in a short time."

"However, based on our assessment, the other side has definitely arrived in Haizhou, and they may not stop there. They will continue to target various cult organizations, which will likely anger these cult organizations," Zhou Gan said with a headache.

"Vice Minister Zhou, do you think the other side can kill a third-grade sea beast?" Zheng Zhibin suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this news, Zhou Gan's body trembled slightly, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

His previously calm expression instantly turned serious, and he stared intently at Zheng Zhibin, as if trying to discern something from the other's eyes.

A moment later, Zhou Gan seemed to suddenly realize something, his eyes widened, and he stared at Zheng Zhibin in disbelief.

He never imagined that Zheng Zhibin would have such a bold idea, actually attempting to use that mysterious expert to kill the third-grade sea beast in the outer sea!

This is an extremely dangerous and unpredictable matter.

However, Zhou Gan did not immediately refute or object. Instead, he calmed down and seriously considered the feasibility of the plan.

After careful consideration, Zhou Gan felt a surge of excitement.

If the mysterious expert is indeed a third-grade innate grandmaster, as they guessed, then with the combined strength of the three of them, there might be a chance to successfully kill the third-grade sea beast in the outer sea!

Thinking of this, Zhou Gan couldn't help but feel his heart racing and his blood boiling.

After all, being able to cooperate with such a powerful being and challenge such a terrifying enemy is a rare opportunity and test for any martial artist.

Moreover, if they can successfully complete this mission, they will not only receive generous rewards and honors, but also greatly enhance their strength and status.

It should be noted that although a third-grade sea beast possesses formidable strength comparable to a third-grade innate grandmaster, there are still significant differences between the two.

These sea beasts mainly rely on their astonishing brute strength to fight; however, they do not possess the profound energy manipulation skills of innate true essence like third-grade innate grandmasters.

Therefore, if the two sides were to engage in a life-or-death struggle, the one who would ultimately win would often be a third-grade innate master.

The third-grade sea beast is covered in incomparably precious treasures!

Whether it's their flowing blood, the even rarer essence blood, or their tender and juicy flesh, tough and thick skin, or strong and powerful tendons and bones, they are all top-tier cultivation resources belonging to the upper three grades.

For martial artists who have already reached the upper three ranks, these resources are coveted treasures. The rewards for successfully slaying even one or two of these third-rank sea beasts are unimaginable.

In this way, not only can one's own cultivation be greatly improved, but it is even possible to break through the current bottleneck and move towards a higher level of martial arts!

"It's a pity we can't make contact with that mysterious expert, otherwise we could give it a try," Zhou Gan said with a sigh.

“We might not need to contact them. We just need to assist them when they are eliminating the evil god cult. Then, if the third-grade sea beasts from the outer sea invade, they might automatically appear to help us kill them,” Zheng Zhibin said with a smile.
