Chapter 1313: Chapter 796_2

Luo Yaxuan’s electric attacks enveloped the formation, electrocuting the sea demons until their spasms subsided, and the terrifying creaking sounds gradually diminished!

The bodies of the sea demons were numbed by the electricity, then scorched by flames, leaving them in ruin. This wave of human cultivators’ counterattack triumphed, but it came at a cost, as some ordinary people perished!

The ships with skeletons quickly took on water and sank to the ocean floor, where the bones became part of the seabed, turning into sea sand.

The battle lasted no more than half an hour. By daytime, many ships began to depart!

Those who narrowly escaped fled far away from this troubled spot!

The saltwater presence is only temporary!

Perhaps some operate at night, dying in their sleep without even knowing how they passed!

Soon, the ocean’s surface above the island was inhabited by the souls of those who had fallen in daylight!

Ordinary people couldn’t see them; these souls had no abilities and merely turned into mist during the day!

The mist on the sea thickened, a scene of horror unfolded rapidly; victories and defeats came too swiftly.

Luo Yaxuan deployed patrol teams, constantly vigilant to any changes on the ocean surface!

Always prepared for sea demons who might break the island’s formation at all costs!

A battle broke out outside the island formation that Su Chang’an was immediately aware of. He didn’t leave his post as they were dealing with Eastern demons through another formation pathway!

They had known about the Eastern demons stationed on this island for several months now, having slain countless demons!

Su Chang’an, unable to mind the outside patrols, fought increasingly advanced Eastern monsters—from rapidly reproducing insects to flying birds, ants, cockroaches, and bats!

Later, they faced more advanced types like snakes, tigers, and lions, which hadn’t yet evolved into humans but had become demons with demon cores.

Su Chang’an and those besieging the Eastern demons had such strong abilities they shouldn’t become too fatigued, as they had shifts.

It’s just that doing daily tasks there could become monotonous over time; they would often use spare hours to meet friends or cultivate to enhance their abilities!

During his tasks there, Su Chang’an met people from other Immortal Sects.

The elites of the Ten Great Clans were often strangers before this task, comprising young talents!

There were too many elites from major noble clans, both main and collateral branches with differing statuses, yet all had a passionate drive to defend the nation and maintain peace!

While completing tasks, they harvested demon cores from the slain demons, which could be consumed bountifully!

As the demons Su Chang’an’s team fought grew more advanced, they couldn’t let their guard down!

Eastern demons kept emerging and attacking. Perhaps they hadn’t found the Demon King, or hadn’t adjusted their plans adequately.

Su Chang’an found it frustrating, continuously engaged in tasks. When could he finish off these Eastern demons to search for his foster brother?

Jiang Tang’s disappearance had always troubled him — would he reappear suddenly as he had before?

Months had passed, from winter to spring, nearing summer. Where had his foster brother gone?

Su Chang’an recalled Jiang Tang’s grand promises about the path to Mending Heaven.

Such a great task was not something ordinary people could undertake!

Even if others wanted to do it, they wouldn’t know where to start!

Jiang Tang’s abilities surpassed theirs; he used to protect his foster brother, but now he realized he needed to care for them!

Su Chang’an was bound by the tasks, left with nothing but longing!

Recently, women from the Ten Great Clans and sects were casting their eyes on Su Chang’an!

Those who came to accomplish tasks may have seen his elegance and acknowledged his capability and limitless prospects.

“Su Chang’an, it’s time to eat!”

“Su Chang’an, you’re done with your task, could you clear up some confusion for me?”

Su Chang’an had just completed a segment of his task, intending to check on the patrol outside the island, only to find himself surrounded!

The gathering consisted of chattering women, who had come for tasks during this period!

Previously unfamiliar, they now treated him as a gold coin, with eyes fixed on him!!

Su Chang’an maintained his usual gentle demeanor, still as warm as jade on the surface, yet inwardly truly impatient!

Peach blossoms, whether rotten or promising, were not his preference at this moment!

Su Chang’an knew he didn’t have a gender preference, nor did he dislike women!

He always felt that a life’s Daoist couple couldn’t just be settled for, perhaps there wasn’t yet someone who moved him!

Su Chang’an was a known figure before, but he mostly roamed alone!

Anyone wishing to know him had to catch his eye!

However, it’s different during these tasks, where these women deployed all their skills for merely a glance from this man!

Su Chang’an never considered himself the protagonist, yet these women’s entanglements deeply annoyed him!

Annoyed, he refrained from showing impatience on his face, nor would he answer every question!

Never offering a cold and venomous refusal!

Each of the gaudily dressed women, who enjoyed dressing up normally, appeared before him not out of affection but for attention.

Previously, during missions in the north, it was never like this, with these talkative women.

Lacking any feminine shyness, they approached him like she-wolves to sheep.

Su Chang’an disfavored the she-wolf gaze yet didn’t reject their attentiveness or inquiries!

He didn’t linger in their questions but did as he pleased!

“Female cultivators, I’ll answer your questions when I have time. I’m not hungry now; I have matters to address outside, let’s chat when there’s time?”

This soft rejection by Su Chang’an neither outright accepted goodwill nor refused, appearing gentle as jade but clearly declining!

The female cultivators weren’t cloistered ladies and were competitors, each potentially a rival over a man!

Competition precluded cooperation!

Their intense pursuit over one man was unnerving!

Su Chang’an ignored their expressions, completing tasks without requiring meals from them, and directly sought out friends!

It was exactly the time for the shift between day and night!

Upon arrival, Su Chang’an found Luo Yaxuan exchanging notes with Lai Jianlin on necessary attentions!

Lai Jianlin, aware of daytime occurrences, knew despite shift rotations from day to night, there are always support teams ready.

The day’s flesh-and-bone events had created a previously unseen, bustling, stark contrast between day and night around the island, now sparsely populated with flying treasures in the sky!

The magical treasures previously on the sea surface had shifted to flying treasures!

Those other cultivators, people there for business, or pleasure seekers found themselves in the midst of exciting nightlife!

Su Chang’an first found a dining place for a hearty meal before joining them on patrol.

Luo Yaxuan, although having handed over duties, remained to watch other Duty Performers take action!

Lai Jianlin, aware of night threats, especially camouflaging black demons!

Although not on the scene back then, he understood such flesh and bones aftermath, gratitude swelled for their timely protection efforts!

Not everyone perished!

The task of fortifying against demons capable of consuming formations—and people—could not be a constant threat?

They had resided here. Why had such demons just emerged for the first time?

Could it be a mutation?
