Chapter 700: The Demon Alliance's Efficiency
Chapter 700: The Demon Alliance's Efficiency
As they got closer and closer to the South China Sea, Kong Xuan's heart began to hang in the air. This was even more stressful than when he went to the battlefield to fight against the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.
During the last stretch of time, Kong Xuan kept organizing his words in his mind, trying to apologize in the most sincere way, asking Li Lan'er to forgive him for the sake of the child.
"If she still refuses to accept, I'll have to use force as a last resort..."
Kong Xuan was flying while muttering to himself, when he suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked down with eagle eyes and was stunned in mid-air.
He had clearly arrived at the South China Sea, but when he looked around, all he saw was an endless barren basin. Where was the blue sea and blue sky?
Going the wrong way?
This absurd thought popped up subconsciously, but was immediately denied by Kong Xuan. He flew back in a straight line without turning any corners. How could he have lost his way!
"Where's the sea? How come such a huge ocean is gone?"
After a few more glances, I could tell from the beaches and reefs on the edge of the basin that this place was right above the coastline of the South China Sea.
The topography and landforms are exactly the same as when I left, but the only difference is that the shore is still there, but the sea is gone.
It is said that gods have great powers and can move mountains and fill the sea.
This is actually just an exaggeration. Land reclamation does not mean that the sea can be filled up.
Many years ago, Wen Rui used tractor beam technology to move mountains and fill the sea. To put it simply, he just threw the mountains into the sea and created an artificial island.
In the real world, a certain Tokyo University relies on its world-leading infrastructure capabilities, and mortal bodies can move mountains and fill the sea. The technology of reclaiming land and building islands is not considered black technology.
But there has never been any talk of "moving the sea". Even the gods wouldn't dare to brag like this.
The size of the sea is far beyond that of the mountains.
If you count the gods in the three realms who can move the sea, there are only a few of them, and you can count them on one hand.
Moreover, these gods moved the seas with the help of magic weapons.
For example, the jade cup of the Water God and the pure bottle of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
To move the sea without relying on magic weapons but only relying on one's own supernatural powers, I'm afraid only saints, Hongjun and Pangu have the ability to do so.
Even Kong Xuan, who possessed the magical power of the five-colored divine light that could sweep away everything, could not sweep the sea.
After circling twice in the air and making sure that he was not under an illusion and that the wonders of the sea water disappearing were all real, Kong Xuan did not have time to think about it and hurriedly flew to Coral City according to his memory.
Coral City was not far from the seaside, and Kong Xuan arrived there with just flapping his eagle wings twice. Looking down from the air, the buildings in the city were not damaged or collapsed. Kong Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly descended from the clouds and landed directly.
The city's water-proof force field has been closed, and there is no barrier separating the inside and the outside. Kong Xuan landed in the middle of the city's main street and looked around, but didn't see a single fish.
The perception of spiritual consciousness was opened to the extreme, covering an area of a thousand miles. Kong Xuan was surprised to find that there was not a single sign of life within a thousand miles. It was as if he had entered a life forbidden zone, which was almost the same as some barren planets in heaven.
Coral City is now a ghost town.
Kong Xuan did not bother to maintain the transformation into a sea eagle, and immediately changed back into his true form, unleashing the speed of a god. His figure instantly turned into an afterimage, and he rushed like the Flash to his home in the upscale community of Coral City.
Mermaid girls are all wealthy ladies. This top-floor wedding house of over 1,000 square meters was bought by Li Laner.
Kong Xuan rushed into the house, but of course he couldn't see his wife and children.
But he still rushed back to look for clues and find out what happened. The house was just as it was before he left. The furniture was arranged in perfect order, not even dust, and there was no sign of a fight.
There was still a table of food on the kitchen table. The food had not yet gone bad, it was just cold.
Just from the state of the food on the table, we can basically calculate that the time of departure is within one day.
Kong Xuan went to Lingshan three days ago, which means that the day after he set out, a major incident occurred in the South China Sea. All the sea creatures disappeared without a trace and the sea water was drained.
Kong Xuan, unwilling to give up, rushed to the baby room and found that the children's diapers, clothes, milk powder and toys were still at home. Normally, if one had to flee the city for refuge for some reason, one should at least bring some baby supplies. With so many children, Li Lan'er could not take care of them all by herself.
The ominous feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger. Kong Xuan calmed himself, made hand gestures, recited spells silently, and used his magical powers to detect the spiritual marks he left on his wife and children.
With his level of cultivation, he can use his divine thoughts to mark living beings. He can track their specific locations just by thinking about it, and can even sense the other party's good or bad condition.
However, after the supernatural power was displayed, there was no information feedback, and the calculation of good and bad luck was also fruitless, as if the family members disappeared out of thin air and had never appeared in this world.
Everything was fine when he left, and the children could already call him "Dad" in their baby voices. But after he came back, everything was gone!
Kong Xuan did not believe in Western religions very much. At this moment, he felt a sense of regret that "all things without roots and limitless will return to dust. The dream of a yellow millet will eventually become empty." He almost could not distinguish the boundary between reality and illusion. He suspected that this experience in the mortal world was just a dream.
The self-doubt lasted only a moment. Kong Xuan was no ordinary person. He quickly calmed down and found the key to the problem at once.
He hurriedly used his magical powers once again, and this time the object of the spiritual mark he was searching for was none other than Wen Rui, the culprit who had tricked him into this love affair.
No need to ask, it must be Wen's doing. Just go to his house and beat him up without any reason. I will definitely not wrongly accuse him!
This time there was immediate feedback. Wen Rui's real body was located in the mortal world, specifically in the West Sea.
I was just blindly guessing the suspect, but all of a sudden the clues matched up. After wreaking havoc in the South China Sea, he ran to the West China Sea. It turned out to be his doing!
Kong Xuan immediately flew up into the sky, sped up the engine, clenched his fists, and headed straight for the West Sea.
After flying for a while over the seabed where the sea water had receded, Kong Xuan finally saw that there was still sea water remaining in the deep sea area, but the water level was visibly dropping.
There is no doubt that someone is using magic to drain the sea. Coral City is located in the shallow sea area. As the sea level drops, it is one of the first underwater cities to dry up.
During the flight, they happened to pass by a deep-sea underwater city that had just been exposed to the air due to the drop in sea level. Kong Xuan curiously flew down in stealth to find out what was going on.
Now he knew how the sea water disappeared, and he was eager to know how the citizens of the underwater city disappeared.
The residents of this underwater city are still in the city, and they are extremely panicked when they see the sea water receding.
The city radio kept broadcasting notices: "According to the resolution of the Supreme Council of the Demon Alliance, the 'Chaos Plan' has been officially implemented. The receding sea water is a normal planned action. Citizens are requested to stay where they are and wait for the Supreme Council's special action team to deal with it..."
The city has been surrounded by hundreds of troop transport ships of the Demon Alliance Army. The mermaid police in the city are also trying to maintain order, directing the citizens to form neat queues in open areas such as squares and the center of the streets.
"Citizens do not need to bring any personal belongings. They only need to register their identities. The process will be completed quickly. Do not panic and push to avoid a stampede, which will cause unnecessary chaos and casualties..."
"Remind citizens that the strictest wartime martial law is now in effect. Soldiers will kill anyone who disrupts social order during this extraordinary period..."
"As long as we follow the instructions, the disposal operation will be over soon, everyone will be safe, and no one will be hurt..."
Although the broadcast mentioned that the Demon Alliance would guarantee the safety of the citizens, Kong Xuan didn't quite believe it, and the ominous feeling became stronger.
