Chapter 525: Overwhelming Power

Eastern Li War Zone.

The sea breeze gently blew, the waves calm and peaceful.

With such weather, it could be considered quite pleasant.

Liu Yan strolled on the crowded pebble beach, listening to the rolling tide, feeling an extremely unreal sensation in his heart.

Before setting off from the Qingwei Xuan Palace, the most common phrase this soldier heard was - the Youmiao Realm is a very dangerous place.

Various rumors circulated within the palace, explaining this point from different perspectives.

For example.

"Do not approach the seaside, as a giant fish may emerge from the sea at any time, intending to drag you underwater. Even warriors are at considerable risk."

Liu Yan looked towards the seaside, his mouth twitching involuntarily.

What he saw was a bustling crowd strolling along the beach, women playing with their children everywhere, creating an extraordinary lively scene.

Many children ran barefoot, playing in the waves, mischievously stomping on the water, their laughter filling the air.

And this is called "the seaside is very dangerous"?

Are they kidding me?

Another example.

"All the sea tribes in the Youmiao Realm harbor strong hostility towards the Wanhao people. Be careful when you encounter sea tribes in the future!"

Liu Yan's gaze shifted again, drifting towards the surging waves.

Vaguely visible.

Some graceful figures were swiftly shuttling underwater.

Everyone knew that they were a sea tribe called "Huayunmu".

The reason why the coasts around various lotus islands had become so safe, allowing even children to play by the seaside, was all thanks to their diligent patrols.

Liu Yan recalled the rumors in the Xuan Palace, shaking his head in extreme disbelief.

And this is called "all sea tribes have hostility"?

What a load of nonsense!

Another example.

"The most abundant thing in the Youmiao Realm is sea fish, but you must never attempt to eat them, otherwise you will never see the ocean again the next day, as all fish are highly poisonous!"

Liu Yan's gaze flickered, locking onto a flat ground with several stalls.

The shouts of the stall owners drifted in the distance with the sea breeze.

"Fried small fish, two copper coins each!"

"Fish fillet pancake, delicious and affordable!"

These were some clever street vendors who set up temporary stalls by the seaside, taking advantage of the rest day when many commoners came to the beach to play.

Liu Yan sniffed the salty sea breeze, keenly identifying the aroma of grilled fish and fried fish, his throat couldn't help but salivate.

Not just by the seaside.

Various fish products could be seen everywhere within the fortresses.

Liu Yan had been in the Eastern Li War Zone for less than half a month, and he had already eaten more than fifty types of sea fish in the military camp, almost getting tired of them.

And this is called "sea fish are highly poisonous"?

What a load of rubbish!

Liu Yan shook his head and muttered softly, "Is the Youmiao Realm a dangerous world? Why do I feel like it's a very prosperous world?"

The millions of civilians under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Li War Zone could eat meat every day, living a life that was far more comfortable than the other side of the world.

In contrast, the Qingwei Xuan Palace.

Most civilians could only eat meat once every few days, their living standards much lower than this side.

Liu Yan walked straight to the seaside, found a large rock and sat down, enjoying the gentle sea breeze with a contented expression.

According to the old man from the Sea Overlord Legion, this was the most comfortable season in the Youmiao Realm. Not only was the climate pleasant, but there were also no strong winds or heavy rains.

In another month.

After winter arrived.

The sea breeze would become chilly, the cold penetrating into the bones. Even strong warriors would not want to stay by the seaside for long.

Liu Yan gazed into the boundless ocean, feeling a sense of tranquility in his heart.

This was a sight that the Qingwei Xuan Palace and the Little Spirit Realm would never see.

He liked this kind of scenery.

Even though he had seen it so many times, he still had a feeling of never getting tired of it.

After gazing at the ocean for a while, Liu Yan suddenly heard a conversation.

"I heard that although the Huayunmu are sea tribes, each and every one of them is an outstanding beauty. It's a pity that we commoners have no chance to see them!"

"A high-ranking Xuan Master from the Tianyan Divine Fortress suffered a great loss in this war zone because he was infatuated with Huayunmu. You should be more careful with your small build."

Liu Yan quickly glanced and immediately saw two burly men chatting while walking along the coast towards this side.

Although these two men were dressed casually, he could recognize at a glance that they were definitely soldiers from a certain legion.

From the content of their conversation, it seemed to be a secret that ordinary people had never heard of.

Liu Yan was certain in his heart that these two soldiers must have arrived in the Eastern Li war zone early on and their status within the legion must not be low.

Next.

The gossip that came with the sea breeze confirmed his speculation.

"I have also stayed in the war zone for quite some time, why haven't I heard of this? Besides, the Divine Fortress commands many war zones, who would dare to do anything to a Xuan Master from the Divine Fortress?"

"Hehe, you don't know because you are ignorant!"

"Why do I feel like you're bragging?"

"Hehe, am I bragging? Let me tell you, the court in the war zone secretly issued a gag order for the sake of the face of the Divine Fortress."

"Is it true? Tell me about it!"

Liu Yan moved his ears and appeared to be enjoying the sea view, but he was actually secretly listening to the gossip.

"This happened half a month ago. At that time, this high-ranking Xuan Master personally witnessed the beauty of Hua Yunmu and couldn't control his twisted thoughts. He actually tried to forcefully abduct ten Hua Yunmu to satisfy his desires."

"What the f*ck! The body structure of Hua Yunmu is different from humans, how the f*ck can you play with it?"

"What do you know? They interrogated him at the Spirit Flame Lotus Island later. That shameless guy loves to talk big!"

"This is too perverted! Did that old bastard succeed?"

"Of course not! Before this guy could make a move, the Commander pinched his finger and used divination to foresee the ugly things that were about to happen. The Commander directly summoned him and slapped him, causing him to bleed from seven orifices."

"The Commander is truly amazing! What happened afterwards?"

"The Commander immediately dismissed him from his position and immediately reported to the Divine Fortress. This matter even alarmed the Divine General, who personally sent the old pervert to the 'Vanguard Death Corps'."

"Well done! That's how it should be!"

Liu Yan listened in astonishment.

Of course, he knew that the so-called 'Vanguard Death Corps' was just a suicide squad, going wherever the battlefield was most dangerous.

A high-ranking Xuan Master, just because of an inappropriate thought, ended up in such a situation.

Truly pitiful!

"By the way, it is said that this Divine General particularly likes to change names. That old pervert's surname was Zhao, so the Divine General gave him a new name, 'Zhao Yunmu'!"

"Haha! What a clever name! The old pervert wanted to get Hua Yunmu, and now he has finally gotten his wish."

"It's because this matter caused such a big commotion that the Commander asked Hua Yunmu to appear less in front of people, so as not to cause any unnecessary conflicts."

"Oh, I see! No wonder the Hua Yunmu tribe arrives in the war zone every few days. They have already gathered over a hundred thousand Hua Yunmu, but I rarely see them."

"Hehe! It's to prevent perverts like you from constantly thinking about them. That's why Lord Du does this!"

"Go to hell! You're the one who..."

As the two of them walked further away, their voices became faint.

After listening to the thrilling secret story, Liu Yan couldn't help but sigh and deeply remember the "Lord Du" who was one of the main characters in the story.

Having trained in the Black Armor Army in the Small Spirit Realm for many years, Liu Yan was not an ignorant young boy. He interpreted many profound messages from the story.

For example.

The reason why the "Zhao Yunmu" Xuan Shi ended up in such a miserable state must have been due to the crucial role played by Lord Du.

It is highly likely that the Divine General took this into consideration and therefore punished the unlucky Zhao Yunmu severely.

Otherwise, a mere attempted crime would not have resulted in being sent to the Vanguard Death Corps.

It is not difficult to see.

This Lord Du must be an extremely powerful figure.

Liu Yan muttered with admiration, "Powerful people are truly awe-inspiring!"

He also remembered the conversation between the two soldiers about the Hua Yunmu, and his curiosity grew stronger in his heart, "It would be great to have a chance to see them."

"Splash~"

A wave crashed against a nearby rock, causing splashes of water to fly up. Among them, a droplet of water flew towards Liu Yan.

Without thinking, Liu Yan quickly used the Nine Elements Battle Technique and waved his right hand, sending out a burst of energy.

The droplet of water seemed to hit an invisible wall and fell down from mid-air.

Just then.

Liu Yan suddenly felt a faint sense of being watched and instinctively turned his head to look at a spot on the sea surface dozens of meters away.

In the next moment.

He locked eyes with a pair of beautiful eyes.

The owner of these beautiful eyes wore a beautiful white mask, which seemed to be made of jade-like material and was intricately carved with exquisite patterns.

Her body was completely hidden underwater, with only half of her head floating on the water's surface.

Liu Yan was a bit stunned as he asked instinctively, "Who are you?"

"Yiya!"

She replied with a sound.
