'boom'

The next moment, the water vortex sensed the approach of an external object and expanded more than ten times in an instant, turning into a huge underwater vortex dozens of feet long and wide. In an instant, the sea water from all directions began to approach the center of the vortex under the suction of the vortex, forming a larger underwater vortex in this sea area.

Machi was originally an aquatic creature, so logically he didn't need to practice the water-avoidance technique. However, the whirlpool beneath him surged with a strange and terrifying force, and madly pushed Machi downwards.

Machi was startled and without saying a word, he immediately used the Water Avoidance Technique. However, the Water Avoidance Technique only stabilized his body slightly, and then he continued to be slowly swept down by the whirlpool.

In the blink of an eye, Machi had fallen into the middle of the whirlpool. At this time, Machi remained calm and quickly used the 'Water Control Technique', a magical power unique to aquatic creatures. After the Water Control Technique was used, a water-blue light flashed around Machi, and he finally stabilized and stopped steadily in the middle of the whirlpool, motionless.

And at the moment when Machi stopped, a purple-black magic light suddenly appeared at the bottom of the vortex. The magic light spread along the vortex, instantly turning the entire seabed vortex into a magic vortex dozens of feet wide.

"Demonic energy! True Lord Hongqing, it's demonic energy!" Quan Gong immediately pointed at the demonic vortex and shouted, "There really is a demonic nest here."

Fang Jian raised his hand and ordered, "Everyone, retreat a hundred miles away immediately."

Afterwards, thousands of sailors and the hundred heavenly soldiers immediately retreated to the sea a hundred miles away. At this moment, the devil's vortex had already appeared on the sea surface. For a moment, the devil's light illuminated the sea and land within a radius of thousands of miles.

At this moment, Machi was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the magic vortex. Although he had the dual defense of Water Avoidance Technique and Water Control Technique to prevent him from being swept down by the vortex, the demonic energy in the magic vortex made it difficult for him to resist, and his Taoist heart was being rapidly infected by the demonic energy.

Upon seeing this, Fang Jian immediately issued two imperial edicts, one sent directly to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, and the other sent directly to the Tianshu Province.
