Not only is it difficult to swim out, but you also always encounter mermaids and fight with them.
Fortunately, the human monks discovered this shop underwater, which provided them with a place to catch their breath, rest, and recover their spiritual strength. Otherwise, who knows how many human monks would have died.
Gradually, Lu Xianyun's shop became a base for human monks in the sea.
However, Lu Xianyun felt a little strange. After so much time, he still hadn't seen the familiar person he always met.
When the sea water was falling, the disciples of Tiangongmen were not far away from her. How come so many people from the town center came here, but they were still nowhere to be seen?
The disciples of Tiangongmen are rescuing people.
They tried their best to avoid direct battles with the mermaids, and instead searched for ordinary people who were in distress in the sea.
These are things that other monks would not do, only they would do them.
But time has passed for so long that Qiu Jichen decided to let everyone stop.
It has been such a long time, if there are still people who have not been rescued, they must have drowned.
"Big Brother, I heard that the owner opened a shop directly on the seabed. Let's go there too. Our spiritual power is almost used up." Lingxi said.
"But we don't know the owner's exact location!" said a disciple.
"Look where there are more mermaids, that's where the owner should be." Qiu Ji Chen said.
A few mermaids definitely couldn't kill the shop owner. If they couldn't kill him, more mermaids would come to kill him, so there must be a lot of mermaids surrounding the shop owner.
While looking for a shop, Qiu Jichen, the most perceptive one, suddenly noticed abnormal water fluctuations ahead. He quickly used the pagoda to cast a water spell, covering all his companions.
From the outside, it was still just a sea of water, empty of anything. Only those with a cultivation far superior to Qiu Jichen could see through this disguise and discover the person hiding beneath the water.
Qiu Ji Chen had used this method before to avoid the mermaids and save his spiritual energy to save people.
But unexpectedly, this time it wasn't a mermaid who came, but two human monks. However, they were tightly covered by the hoods of their cloaks, so their faces could not be seen clearly.
One of them was taller and looked like a man, while the other was smaller and probably a woman.
As soon as the voice was heard, everyone became more certain of their guess.
The woman said, "Dad, I failed this time. I didn't expect so many unexpected events to happen..."
The man snorted coldly, "Is it just because something unexpected happened? I heard that it was because you didn't take the initiative to attack that the variables increased, right?"
The woman lowered her head slightly, looking as if she was embarrassed by what she said.
"Thanks to father for having a backup plan, otherwise we really don't know what to do in front of the sect leader this time." The woman said again.
"So learn more from your father! That's what they call old ginger, yet old ginger is wiser!"
"But Dad, will your backup plan succeed? Do these mermaids really have the power to attack the land? I know you've borrowed all of our sect's most precious water spirit beads and lent them to the mermaids, and you've even sent almost all of your men to set up this sea-sky formation. If we fail..."
"Failure is inevitable sooner or later." The man said earnestly.
"Will it fail?" The woman was suddenly surprised.
"After all this preparation, why did we fail? If failure is inevitable, why do we still put in all this useless effort?"
The man laughed.
"Whether it's the precious Water Spirit Pearl or this Sea and Sky Array, both require spiritual energy to activate. The sea is vast, and the mermaids are numerous, but their spiritual energy is limited. Once their spiritual energy is exhausted, the sea will recede.
"However, with the presence of the Water Spirit Pearl and the great formation, the sea level will continue to rise for a long time. Do you think those famous and upright sects on land can ignore this matter?"
"Of course not," the woman said. "Don't those reputable and upright sects always claim to be committed to protecting the people of the world? If something like this happens, they certainly won't sit idly by and will definitely come to stop the mermaids."
"Yes, that's our goal," the man said. "These mermaids have long been dissatisfied with human monks. This time, a small excuse has provoked their anger, giving them a perfect excuse to attack the land world.
"So, while they fight each other, we can reap the benefits."
"Daddy, what a good plan!" The woman immediately praised.
As the two of them were talking, they passed by Qiu Jichen and the others. They were about to pass by, but the man suddenly stopped and glanced in their direction.
The woman asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Daddy?"
The man didn't say anything, but continued to stare. Finally, a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes, and he shook his head.
"Nothing, maybe I'm mistaken. By the way, is the food in that restaurant you mentioned really that amazing?"
"Yes, Daddy! I heard that the shop seems to be underwater now. I'll take you there to try it! Once you try it, you'll understand why I'm so obsessed with getting them back to our sect!"
As the father and daughter talked, they gradually walked away.
Although the figures were no longer visible, Qiu Jichen and his group remained motionless.
Qiu Jichen always felt that there was a faint spiritual power here, as if it was exploring something. Only when the spiritual power disappeared did Qiu Jichen dare to withdraw his water spell.
Just now, under the spell, no one dared to make a sound. If they made even the slightest movement, it would likely be noticed by those outside.
They also noticed that the man under the cloak must have a high level of cultivation and seemed to have noticed it. So they dared not move, and everyone communicated with each other through eye contact.
Now that he saw that the eldest brother had removed the spell, he knew it should be safe and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Big Brother, those two people should be from... the Demon Sect?"
If they keep saying that other sects are reputable and upright, then they must be members of the Demon Sect!
"I thought these mermaids were causing the sea to rise just to save their people, but I didn't expect the Demon Sect was behind this!"
"The Demon Sect is so despicable! They are also human! How can they mix with the mermaids to deal with human monks?"
"The Demon Sect really has no bottom line!"
"Big Brother, what should we do now?"
No one had expected to hear such a shocking secret, and for a moment they were at a loss as to what to do. They could only look towards their core leader.
