Villain: Who said I came here to break off the engagement?

The Dragon Emperor's divine consciousness covered a hundred miles, so Chu Jiang and others' approach naturally could not be hidden from his perception.

Of course, Chu Jiang and others did not deliberately restrain their breath, because there was no need.

Arriving near the crater of the seabed, Chu Jiang nodded politely, and then said: "The source of the strange death of marine life started from here, Dragon Emperor, do you have any clues?"

The Dragon Emperor looked at him with disdain, then retracted his gaze, and said in a flat tone: "It did start from here, as for the reason, it is not clear yet."

Chu Jiang approached the crater, only to see that the inside was dark, and there was no special erosion force, but the closer he got to the crater, the more Chu Jiang felt that his mana, vitality, blood, and spiritual essence were being slowly eroded.

This degree of erosion was nothing to him, one of the five mountain masters, and he could easily resist it by mobilizing his mana.

But for those marine creatures who have no cultivation and have not yet opened their spiritual intelligence, it is fatal.

If it were just this, there wouldn't be such a big fight. What's frightening is that this corrosive force is constantly being released and spreading outward.

And the speed is not slow. In just a few days, it has affected the sea area within a radius of dozens of miles.

There is no living creature within a radius of dozens of miles, and even the marine plants growing on the seabed have died.

If left alone, the consequences will be disastrous over time.

The first to suffer are the sea people. The sea is like a treasure. There are countless natural treasures growing on the seabed, which is the key to the strength of the sea creatures.

The spread of the corrosive force is simply a nightmare of genocide for them. In the end, they may have to move out of the East China Sea and migrate to land.

Chu Jiang turned around and asked, "Have you ever entered the interior to investigate?"

The Dragon Emperor snorted, "Of course, do you think that we sea people are all cowards?"

Chu Jiang stared at the inside of the volcano that was constantly emitting invisible corrosive force. He pinched his left hand, and the sword light bloomed, surrounding his body, shining like the North Star, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

This is the method of protecting the body with the true essence of Lingxu Mountain. It can not only resist attacks, but also restrain all ghosts and evil spirits. It is one of the most representative methods of Lingxu Mountain.

"I will go with you."

Yu Hong was worried and also used the true essence to protect his body.

The two sword immortals looked at each other and rushed into the volcano one after another.

Yu Hong's eyes were shining with fluorescence, and he carefully observed the surrounding environment.

This is the Lingxu Mountain Concentration and Return to the Origin Technique, which can improve perception and see through the maze.

"Chu Jiang, there is erosion power all around, but I don't know where the source is. Do you think it is the work of the remnants of the demon clan?"

Chu Jiang shook his head: "It doesn't seem like it, but this possibility cannot be ruled out. This place is dangerous and unpredictable. We must not take it lightly. Let's go deeper and withdraw immediately if there is no result."

"Okay."

The two went down all the way and soon came to the bottom. Below was igneous rock formed by solidified magma.

The two sword immortals carefully explored, but found nothing.

It is obvious that the erosion power here is extremely strong, but I don't know where the source is. It's really strange.

After another fruitless exploration, the two of them evacuated decisively, turning into two sword lights and rushing out of the crater.

The human race strongmen waiting outside asked hurriedly: "Two Taoist friends, is there any result?"

Chu Jiang shook his head: "I can't find the source. The erosion force is very strong. The spiritual energy of the heaven and earth inside the volcano has been completely eroded."

The strong men were silent, and their brows were frowned at the same time.

This matter is very serious.

After the exploration was fruitless, Chu Jiang discussed the war between the human race and the sea race with the Dragon Emperor. After getting the Dragon Emperor's promise that he would not send troops, he led the crowd away.

Returning to the central army tent, Xiahou Zhuo summoned the heads or powerful figures of various sects, as well as the core disciples, and informed everyone of this matter.

First, stabilize the morale of the army. The sea race stationed on the border will not have any crooked ideas. The matter of the underwater volcano is enough for them to worry about, and they will not think about those messy things anymore.

The original intention of the sea race to launch a full-scale war against the human race was to occupy the submarine volcano. They thought that the submarine volcano was really connected to the entrance of the battlefield of gods and demons, so they were so extreme.

As a result, it is now found that it is all a lie. Not only is it a lie, but it may also be a catastrophe for the entire sea race.

This time it was really in vain. Not only did they lose soldiers and generals, but they also made enemies with the human race. Not only did they not get any benefits, but the losses were not small.

The second is to inform the major sects fighting on the front lines in the northwest and south as soon as possible. At present, this matter seems to affect only the sea race in the East China Sea. But imagine that if the erosion force cannot be controlled, a few years later, or even a year later, the erosion force will spread to the upper world and the outside world. It will be too late to think of countermeasures at that time.

When everyone in the tent was thinking, Xiahou Zhuo spoke: "Although the human race and the sea race have a deep grudge, there should be no racial rift at this time. Even if we can't reconcile, at least we shouldn't start a war again."

"I believe that the Dragon Emperor will also notify the sea race masters of the other three seas. If he is not stupid, he will take the initiative to cease fire."

The leader of a first-class force asked: "Then commander, do we need to withdraw some of the monks we sent to guard the pass?"

Xiahou Zhuo shook his head: "We must be on guard."

"Yes!"

Everyone left one after another, including top masters such as Chu Jiang, but they did not leave the barracks, but chose to stay at the front line of the East China Sea to keep an eye on the underwater volcano at any time.

...

Flying Shenzhou, in the palace with the door open.

Li Guanhai stood at the door of the palace, feeling the cool breeze coming towards him, feeling both comfortable and heavy.

His intuition told him that the change in the East China Sea was not that simple.

He wanted to call Yadela to ask her clearly, but she probably didn't know anything, so he didn't bother.

Li Ningshuang, who was wearing a dark green dress and had a graceful back, stood beside Li Guanhai and asked softly: "Master, you have dived into the depths of the East China Sea before. Was there anything unusual in the sea at that time?"

Li Guanhai shook his head: "I have been running the Qitian God's slander all the way, and there is nothing unusual."

Li Ningshuang pondered and said: "This matter is unusual, Master, what do you mean now?"

As soon as the voice fell, Yadela came quickly and saluted: "Master, Commander Xiahou wants to see you."

Li Guanhai's heart moved, guessing that Chu Jiang and others should have returned, and they also brought back important news. Xiahou Zhuo probably came to ask him to come over to discuss together.

With this in mind, he turned into a divine rainbow and flew away from the palace, landed in the military camp, and came to the outside of the central army tent.

After the guard reported, Li Guanhai saw Xiahou Zhuo, who was frowning and looking serious.

Seeing his expression, Li Guanhai, who always remained calm in the face of a catastrophe, suddenly felt his heart skip a beat and said to himself, "Not good!"

Xiahou Zhuo glanced at him and said directly without beating around the bush: "There is a clue. The reason for the strange death of the creatures in the East China Sea is related to the underwater volcano leading to the battlefield of gods and demons."
