The aura of aquatic creatures naturally resonates with seawater; even when concealed with spiritual power, traces of regular fluctuations like tides would always remain.
But Lan Yuan and the other two people seemed to have just disappeared without leaving a trace.
“Are they really gone?”
Shen Tianhai muttered to himself, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, producing a dull sound. “Impossible. They were seriously injured, it is impossible for them to cross the sea barrier in such a short time.”
Master Liu cautiously asked, “Island Master, could it be that someone is helping them? That young man blocking the three elders has very strange strength.”
Shen Tianhai’s pupils narrowed slightly.
He remembered that gray figure, those purple eyes, and the strange power capable of devouring divine runes and laws.
That young man, despite only having the aura of a Gold Immortal, was able to withstand the siege of three level two Great Luo Gold Immortal elders for so long.
Moreover, the timing of his appearance was too coincidental—he appeared just as Lan Yuan was about to be captured, and he withdrew just as the tsunami hit.
“That young man”
Shen Tianhai’s voice deepened, “He has a strange power, like the power of chaos, or something completely different.”
However, he was only at the Golden Immortal realm; even with some strange methods, it was impossible for him to escape from Blue Wave Island with three heavily injured aquatic cultivators in such a short time.
He paused, his gaze fixed on the coastal area marked in bright red on the map: “They must be hiding somewhere on this island.”
However, aquatic cultivators could not stay on land for long; the oppression of the law will continue to erode their bodies. Even if someone helped them hide their aura, they couldn’t last more than a few days.
Master Liu’s eyes lit up slightly: “The island owner means wait?”
“Wait.”
Shen Tianhai’s voice was calm and confident, “They need sea water to restore their spiritual power and water to reduce the pressure of the law.”
As long as they remained on this island, they would definitely come into contact with the sea. I have placed seventeen layers of restrictions on the sea; once they enter the water, they will be immediately caught.
He sat back in his chair, took the now cold cup of tea, but didn’t drink it; he simply held it in his hand: “Convey this order: keep the restrictions on the sea completely open, and order all guards to strictly watch the coastline.”
The search on the island can be reduced to a certain extent, giving them the illusion that they are ‘escaping’. If they really tried to go by sea, they would walk into a trap.
“Yes,” Mr. Liu replied with a bow, then turned and left the study.
Shen Tianhai sat alone in the room, his golden gaze piercing through the window and fixed on the distant sea surface that shimmered with a little silver light under the moonlight.
A faint smile crossed his lips: “Water creatures cannot live without water. As long as you remain on Blue Wave Island, you will eventually return to the sea. And once you return to the sea, you will become a fish in my net.”
In the next few hours, the search on the island did gradually slow down.
The golden light of the patrol became less bright, and the monks searching for the enemy changed from groups of three or five people to two-person teams.
Shen Tianhai’s order had been conveyed—the restrictions on the sea were fully activated, and although the search on the island seemed to be weakening, the number of hidden guards did not decrease, but only changed to more covert methods.
David stood by the window, observing the activity outside.
His purple eyes shone like two dim lights in the darkness, illuminating the fading golden light on the street.
His perception, strengthened by the power of chaos, expanded outwards, capturing every subtle change.
Even though Shen Tianhai reduced the overt searches, he could feel that the covert surveillance was becoming more and more intensive.
The guards hiding in the shadows of the roofs and in the darkness of the narrow alleys were now more alert than before.
“That is enough.”
David turned around and looked at Lan Yuan and the other two people. “Most of the visible guards on this island have withdrawn. Although the hidden guards are still there, we should be able to avoid them if we are careful enough.”
