Li Yu no longer intended to focus all his efforts on killing the sea monster, but instead planned to capture it alive and bring it back to Kangcheng.

Given the enormous size of sea monsters, utilizing their powerful regenerative abilities could certainly solve many problems.

If the sea beasts can be tamed, it will be a qualitative boost to Kangcheng's combat strength.

Just as Li Yu was intently observing the sea beast, he seemed to sense movement in the water, and the turtle shell suddenly trembled violently.

Lu Fan's astonished voice came through the water:

"Li Yu? What are you doing here?"

He immediately realized what was happening and hurriedly said:

"Let's put that aside for now, hurry up and help! This thing is incredibly persistent and impossible to kill! It's such a nuisance."

Li Yu laughed heartily: "How did the dignified Twelve Star Lords turn into turtles?"

"What do you know! This is the most energy-efficient defensive form!" Lu Fan retorted irritably.

"Stop with the sarcastic remarks, let's get started!"

Li Yu stopped joking and raised his hand, firing several arrows in quick succession.

One of the arrows precisely severed several of the sea monster's enormous tentacles that were wrapped around the turtle's shell.

Once the restraints were broken, the turtle successfully broke free, suddenly accelerated, leaped out of the water, and landed steadily on the ground.

The tortoise shell changed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to Lu Fan's appearance.

Li Yu stared at Lu Fan's transformation process beside her, and couldn't help but marvel.

Meanwhile, the other arrows that had just been fired were continuously slicing through the remaining tentacles of the sea monster.

streaks of fire flashed across the water, each arrow carrying a blazing flame that burned unabated even underwater, searing the sea creature like a venomous wound.

Even when the sea monster tried to retract all its tentacles, it was to no avail.

After losing a large number of tentacles, the arrows finally stopped. Before the sea monster could make a move, rings of fire ignited underwater, completely sealing off the water prison.

Soon, this isolated body of water began to boil violently under the high temperature.

"roar!"

Tormented by the scalding heat and excruciating pain, the octopus-like sea monster went berserk, its lost tentacles rapidly growing back and flailing wildly.

With nowhere else to go, it could only leap out of the water and launch a desperate attack on the humans above.

Li Yu had been waiting for this opportunity. Before the tentacles even arrived, he raised his hand and fired another volley.

The arrows precisely avoided the sea monster's vital points, transforming into a net of fire that pinned it firmly to the ground.

"Ouch..."

Each struggle of the sea monster trapped in the fire net brought even more intense pain.

After several attempts, it finally collapsed from exhaustion, lying on the ground, only able to let out a low, mournful cry.

The sea monster was completely subdued.

Li Yu looked at the huge 'trophy' in front of him with satisfaction, not expecting the capture process to go so smoothly.

Lu Fan explained from the side, "It has been away from the deep sea for too long, and its strength has been greatly reduced."

It was precisely for this reason that the sea beast was unable to break through Lu Fan's defenses.

If he were to return to the deep sea, Lu Fan would likely only be able to escape.

“Moreover…” Lu Fan’s eyes sharpened as he looked outside:

"A three-way alliance is indeed a tricky situation."

"If it weren't for the Ye family of Ningcheng and those old foxes setting up a trap beforehand, concealing their presence and tricking me, and using this beast to deplete my strength, the outcome would have been uncertain."

Li Yu knew that Lu Fan wasn't exaggerating. The fact that he could emerge unscathed from the encirclement of so many forces was enough to demonstrate Lu Fan's strength.

But he couldn't help turning his head and secretly smiling, after all, Lu Fan's turtle-like appearance just now was really too funny.

Lu Fan naturally noticed Li Yu's micro-expression, and with a helpless look, he tidied his disheveled appearance and took the lead in walking outside.

"Don't rush!" Li Yu shouted, hurriedly turning back to deal with the sea monster.

...

Above Ningcheng.

The battle between Ye Lingxiao and Li Yang was nearing its end. Just as the two were about to determine a victor, the Changsheng Sect members who had been watching the battle finally made a move.

"It's time, let's go!"

At a command, a group of elders rushed forward, their internal energy exploding simultaneously as they launched a combined supernatural attack.

"The union of thick earth!"

The powerful attacks converged in one place and instantly struck Li Yang, their power terrifying beyond measure.

"Whoosh—"

Upon hearing the voice, Li Yang's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly focused all his attention on resisting.

With a deafening roar, he was blasted dozens of meters away by the energy explosion, crashing to the ground and shattering the individual array on his body.

"Who!?" Li Yang immediately stood up and looked over angrily.

If it weren't for the protection of his individual formation, this sneak attack would have been enough to seriously injure him!

"The Gate of Immortality is here!"

The group of elders stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Ye Lingxiao, responding coldly to Li Yang.

Although Ye Lingxiao was somewhat dissatisfied with their late start, he knew that now was not the time to pursue the matter.

"The Gate of Immortality?"

Li Yang frowned. He was obviously aware of the existence of the Changsheng Sect and knew that it was not something to be trifled with. He just didn't expect that Ye Lingxiao would be qualified to make a deal with the Changsheng Sect.

At this moment, Ye Lingxiao, seemingly confident of victory, stepped forward and advised:

“Li Yang, we have no grudges or conflicts. I am giving you a chance to leave. As long as you swear to give up this stone, you can leave Ningcheng. In the future, Ningcheng can establish cooperation with Yangcheng.”

Ye Lingxiao's voice turned cold, carrying a threatening tone:

"Otherwise... I'm afraid Yangcheng will have to get a new city lord."

Looking at the crowd surrounding him, Li Yang sneered, "Ye Lingxiao, don't think the Longevity Sect is anything good. If you hand over the Yang Stone to me now, Ning Cheng might still have a way out."

"You're courting death!" The elders of the Longevity Sect roared in fury.
