Pretending To Be A Boss
Chapter 920 - 68: The Descendant of the Dragon

The southern island has become extremely desolate compared to the past; only a few young beasts are guarding the Sea God Cult's buildings.

The main force departed southward long ago and never returned.

Apart from them, the most active individuals here are Lin Sen and his group.

Lin Sen and Yu Xiaozhe's team are responsible for constructing the teleportation station, and now they've settled on the island.

The island has been far from peaceful recently.

It's not due to invaders, but rather the weather.

Since the beasts here started offering sacrifices to the Sea God every season, severe weather like this has rarely occurred.

The Sea God's blessing bestowed peace upon the island, especially as the beasts appear far more devout than before, even erecting a massive statue of Tang.

Yet unexpectedly, rolling thunder struck the statue directly, a glaringly ominous sign that left the beasts of the Sea God Cult deeply troubled.

Lin Sen and the others tried to explain it scientifically, but ultimately, science couldn't account for this bizarre weather.

This weather felt as if some monster had torn open the heavens, bringing twelve consecutive days of torrential rain accompanied by howling gales.

If not for Lin Sen and Yu Xiaozhe's construction team residing in elevated areas of the island, their homes would have likely been submerged by seawater.

The relentless downpour and strong winds caused much of the island's ground level to be flooded, leaving only higher terrain habitable.

Yu Xiaozhe's teleportation team usually opted to retreat to Baichuan City, but the persistent downpour and extreme weather compelled them to devise ways to protect their earlier construction efforts.

"Damn it! Thank goodness this teleportation station was built on the mountainside. If it were down below, would months of effort have been all for nothing? This godforsaken weather is as wicked as Li Wanye's heart!" Yu Xiaozhe cursed angrily.

In his eyes, Li Wanye represented the epitome of treachery.

With their faces distorted by the fierce wind and rain, Lin Sen and Yu Xiaozhe struggled forward, clad in clothes woven from the Soul Crystal by Qing JiuYu.

"When the hell will this damn typhoon end?" Yu Xiaozhe worriedly shouted.

"What did you say? Speak louder!" Lin Sen couldn't hear over the roar of the wind, only seeing Yu Xiaozhe's mouth moving.

"I said, IT'S NOTHING!" Yu Xiaozhe screamed at the top of his lungs.

At this moment, Qing JiuYu, in her beast form, was present on the island. After several days of storms and high danger levels, Li Xiaoyu had no choice but to dispatch Qing JiuYu to assist.

Neither the fierce wind nor torrential rain affected her, but with such prolonged weather, nobody dared to predict when the ocean's fury might explode.

A typhoon striking the island posed an enormous danger.

However, the true peril wasn't the storm or rain; as lightning flashed, Qing JiuYu suddenly raised her head, and a golden light beam burst through the gray clouds. In that instant, a terrifying force caused the storm to halt for one second.

For that fleeting moment, it seemed as if the world stood still.

Qing JiuYu always found the violent storm suspicious. The island, under the Sea God's protection, had never truly lost its guardian.

Its colossal form continued silently safeguarding the southern lands.

This was why most factions had failed to infiltrate the south.

Such extreme weather might not stem from natural conditions, but rather from a certain beast.

In her fox demon form, Qing JiuYu remained a ruler in her domain, possessing top-tier catastrophic-level powers.

With a piercing cry, ripples vibrated through the air, and the storm resumed movement the next second.

It was as if a barrier had been shattered.

Yu Xiaozhe and Lin Sen had never witnessed such a phenomenon before; terrified, they fled to the mountainside shelter.

[Interesting. My lord dispatched me here to investigate yet withheld the reason. To think, in such a remote place, there still exists a fox demon.]

Strangely enough, except for the Beast Deity, few beasts could emit sounds understandable to others, yet Qing JiuYu comprehended them effortlessly.

As the golden light beam diminished and dispersed, a figure clad in a divine white robe resembling a preacher emerged.

This was not truly a human form but rather its original appearance, strikingly similar to humanity yet towering and brawny. Compared to Qing JiuYu, the figure seemed slightly leaner.

Qing JiuYu had never encountered such a creature before. Its appearance resembled a massive clergy figure, but those eyes, glowing with golden brilliance...

[Who are you?]

[I am a Divine Envoy under the Divine King. This island exudes an impure aura, and I have come to purify it.]

The Divine Envoy's tone was chillingly hollow.

It didn't surprise Qing JiuYu that the other could understand her speech. Upon hearing the name "Divine King," she didn't find it odd at all.

Throughout Eden's history, its master had created numerous peculiar beings; one more was no big deal.

[Is this storm your doing? Are you planning to destroy this island?] Qing JiuYu interrogated.

[The root of this world's chaos lies in humanity's divergent beliefs. Those who stray from our faith hold disloyal hearts. This island has pledged itself to a false deity; naturally, it must face annihilation. This tempest is divine will.]

To Qing JiuYu, this was as good as an admission. She unleashed her foxfire, the terrifying flames instantly evaporating the rain, igniting the sea-soaked earth in a fiery hue.

The Divine Envoy's face remained hidden beneath its priestly garb, its expression unreadable, but the disdain in its eyes was unmistakable.

[Perhaps you think your orange-ranked strength allows you to wreak havoc in this realm. But under the Divine King's command, we are set apart from beings like you. Vile creature, in the name of Order, I command you to stop!]
