"What happened?"
Xu Hei quickly asked.
Han Te's face was pale, and it took him a while to catch his breath before he said, "The people who went out just now, they've all disappeared, not even a trace left!"
His words were almost trembling.
Previously in Haiya City, Han Te had experienced this scene and was on guard. The mont he sensed sothing was wrong, he used a teleportation talisman to retreat instantly, narrowly escaping disaster.
Xu Hei stared at the empty street outside, his Divine Sense shot out like a sharp sword, but he couldn't find a single shadow. The area was completely empty.
By this ti, others had also noticed sothing was amiss and stopped at the entrance, looking at each other and observing their surroundings.
"Do none of you truly have any life-rich treasures left?"
Xu Fu spoke again, asking for the third ti, his tone still gentle, his smile still kind.
At this mont, another group of three flew out, stepping on flying swords, clearly unaware of the situation.
Xu Hei held his breath, his Divine Sense locked onto the three.
When the three flew thousands of feet away, about to exceed the range of Xu Hei's Divine Sense.
Suddenly, they vanished.
Under Xu Hei's Divine Sense, they disappeared without a trace, not even ashes left! It was impossible to tell how they vanished!
"What?" Xu Hei's heart surged with a tidal wave of shock.
He had heard Hei Huang ntion such a situation before; it had happened in Haiya City, disappearing into thin air without warning!
Xu Hei imdiately thought of one person—the Nightmare Demon Lord!
Creating fear, using fear as a realm, the more frightened people are, the stronger the Nightmare Demon Lord becos.
Looking at Han Te's pale face, trembling body, and stamring speech, it was clear he was overwheld by inexplicable fear, precisely the realm of the Nightmare Demon Lord.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, another person vanished into thin air, not far from the venue.
Everyone saw this scene, their faces changed dramatically, expressions filled with horror, and so even scread.
"Ah!! What was that just now!"
"Soone disappeared into thin air!"
"This technique, it's the Sea God Sect!"
In an instant, chaos erupted, screams echoed, and so people, out of fear, fell to the ground, trembling all over.
At this mont, the sky darkened, as if an invisible cloud covered the sun, casting a shadow over everyone's heart.
"Enemy invasion, the whole city on alert!"
A loud shout echoed from the sky, like thunder, reverberating in everyone's ears, awakening them.
It was the voice of Island Lord Jiang Chong.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Countless city guards rushed toward the trading venue, all elite, at least at the late Foundation Establishnt stage, with ten Core Formation stage cultivators leading.
This group of city guards controlled the protective formation of Twin Islands, capable of contending with Elental Infant stage opponents!
Jiang Ying also rushed out of the trading venue, a delicate pagoda appearing in her hand. With a wave, the pagoda flew into the sky, emitting a hazy light, forming a giant defensive shield covering a hundred miles around the venue.
Golden light poured down, dispelling the gloom, as if returning from hell to the human world.
Facing the Sea God Sect's invasion, the two island lords quickly responded.
"Everyone, stay within the pagoda's range, don't act rashly!" Jiang Ying said sternly.
"Yes!"
Under the pagoda's light, the crowd's fear subsided sowhat, but their breathing remained rapid, faces pale.
Jiang Chong appeared beside Jiang Ying, his gaze scanning the sky, eyes growing more solemn.
He couldn't see, couldn't see at all!
He didn't even know where the enemy was, nor where the disappeared people had gone.
This crisis was unprecedented for Twin Islands, but as one of the three major islands of the East Sea, Jiang Chong and Jiang Ying were no ordinary figures.
"Who are you, esteed one? Please show yourself!"
Jiang Chong held a thunder spear, shouting in a deep voice.
The sky remained dark and silent, with no response.
"All troops, heed my command!"
Jiang Chong waved his hand, about to issue orders.
But at that mont, he froze!
The city guards he had summoned, over a hundred people, had all vanished without a trace.
He didn't know when they disappeared, as if they had evaporated in an instant!
"When... did they disappear?" Jiang Chong's voice trembled slightly.
"I don't know."
Jiang Ying shook her head, her palms sweating.
The opponent's thods were too bizarre, making people disappear without a trace, like a powerful figure far beyond them toying with them.
Under this invisible pressure, a trace of fear inevitably arose in both their hearts.
This fear stemd from the unknown, and once it appeared, it spread uncontrollably.
"Damn it!!"
Jiang Chong gritted his teeth, holding the spear, stabbing his palm fiercely, the intense pain bringing him back to clarity.
"Too late!"
A sinister voice echoed from the distant sky.
In an instant, Jiang Chong's world was filled with countless illusions, the distant deep sea like a giant mouth devouring the sky, biting toward him, the gloomy sky seed about to collapse, hideous eyes erged from the dark clouds, black tentacles sweeping in, trying to penetrate his body.
Countless bizarre scenes appeared in his mind.
These scenes stemd from the cultivator's inner fears, the more one feared, the more they appeared.
This was the Nightmare Demon Lord's Divine Ability!
Facing this person, once fear arose, even a trace, one would fall into endless nightmares.
In just one encounter, Jiang Chong, the city lord of Twin Islands, at the mid-Elental Infant stage, was unable to withstand it.
The other city lord, Jiang Ying, under the pagoda's protection, also fell into darkness, her body trembling, eyes filled with terror, also suffering from nightmares.
Just as Jiang Chong was about to be swallowed by endless fear.
A bright light suddenly lit up within him, bringing him back to clarity.
"Kill!"
Jiang Chong let out a low shout, thrusting his thunder spear into the void, piercing the sky, instantly tearing a hole in the dark clouds, and most of the fear-born monsters vanished.
Taking this opportunity, Jiang Chong took out a pill bottle and threw it toward the trading venue behind him.
"Daoist Xu Fu, please lend a hand!"
Jiang Chong shouted, the pill bottle landing accurately in front of Xu Fu. Facing such an opponent, he couldn't hold back, he had to go all out!
Then, he charged into the dark void ahead, spear in hand, eyes devoid of fear.
Xu Fu caught the pill bottle, opened it, and smiled brightly, "Oh? Isn't this the Longevity Pill? I've seen it before, it's very effective."
"But this alone isn't enough!"
He put away the pill bottle, looking at the panicked crowd in the trading venue, and said with a smile, "Earlier, I extended a helping hand, assisting all of you, but you refused to repay , which is quite disappointing!"
Xu Fu's actions greatly surprised everyone. They had thought his kind appearance ant he would help them through the crisis. But who would have thought he would remain indifferent, still thinking about collecting his life materials in such a dire situation.
"Senior Xu Fu, we really have nothing left!"
"All life-rich treasures have been given to you, there's really nothing left!"
The crowd lanted, beginning to plead.
"Lord Xu Fu, these are the treasures from our Sea Comrce Guild, I wonder if they are enough!"
The head of the Sea Comrce Guild also appeared, an elder at the peak of the Core Formation stage, offering the guild's treasured items, all rich in life energy, to Xu Fu.
Xu Fu took a look and still shook his head.
"Not enough! Not enough! Not enough!"
Xu Fu said "not enough" three tis, his eyes flashing as he looked at the crowd in the trading venue, smiling, "I said I need materials rich in life energy, life energy!"
"So much life energy, yet no one is willing to offer it, how disappointing!"
With these words, the venue fell silent, the crowd stared wide-eyed in horror at Xu Fu, who wore a harmless smile, looking at everyone.
Life energy! Was Xu Fu referring to them?
This trading event, Xu Fu promised to buy treasures at three tis the price, and with various promotions, he attracted almost all the Foundation Establishnt cultivators on Twin Islands!
It was a rare gathering.
Over a thousand Foundation Establishnt stage, more than twenty Core Formation stage, so many cultivators gathered in one place, wasn't it perfect for a catch-all?
This might not be a benefit at all, but a trap, a complete conspiracy!
Many clever individuals imdiately realized the logic behind this, their faces turning pale with shock, but still unwilling to believe the truth, looking at Xu Fu, trembling, "Senior Xu Fu, you must be joking."
They all knew Xu Fu was collecting Spirit dicine for the Qin Emperor to make Longevity Pills, to prolong his life.
But what did that have to do with their lives? Killing them would make the Qin Emperor live longer? How could that be possible?
Besides, this was the Sea Comrce Guild, there were so many of them, and there was a formation. Even if Xu Fu was an Elental Infant cultivator, he couldn't possibly oppose thousands of people, right?
"Joking?"
Xu Fu chuckled and said, "I'm not joking. What I need is you, all of you!"
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...
Suddenly, several private rooms in the trading venue erupted with explosions, figures rushing out, attacking the crowd.
These people were shrouded in gloom, filled with ghostly aura, their eyes glowing with demonic light, a black sun appearing on their foreheads.
They were the followers of the Sea God Sect!
So many Sea God Sect mbers had infiltrated Twin Islands, even entering the trading venue, yet no one knew!
