After carefully reading through the information, Fang Yu said, "What are you doing here? You're joining this mission too?"
"Leng Qing is my best friend. I've been keeping an eye on this matter as well. Besides, I'm quite familiar with that area. It'll save you from running around like a headless chicken," Tang Yue explained.
"Ahem!"
Tang Zhong deliberately cleared his throat.
Am I invisible standing right here?
Only then did Fang Yu turn around and notice the worried expression on Tang Zhong's face. There was even a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
Getting straight to the point, Tang Zhong said, "Leng Qing tracked down a subordinate of a Red Cardinal. For reasons still unknown, she has become trapped in the Three Ponds Archipelago. The Lingyin Tribunal only received the magical coded message she sent yesterday."
Instead of mobilizing the Tribunal's forces, he had specifically asked Fang Yu for help.
That alone showed just how worried Tang Zhong was that someone within the Tribunal had become a puppet of the Black Vatican.
Judging from Leng Yue's incident, this intelligence leak had most likely originated from within the Tribunal itself.
"Alright. I'll bring her back."
Fang Yu stood up and went to make preparations.
The sky was an endless blue.
The sea was equally azure.
The Three Ponds Archipelago wasn't far from Hangzhou.
Along the endless coastline.
Two days later, they arrived at the Three Ponds Archipelago.
Looking into the distance, the archipelago stretched out like the branches of a tree. Islands of every size and shape were scattered across the sea like countless stars.
The mountains on each island were blanketed beneath dense primeval forests.
Fang Yu and Tang Yue approached the islands from the western shore.
The entire island chain resembled a spindle, broad in the west and narrow in the east, with higher terrain in the center.
The landscape also sloped from west to east, allowing the sea breeze to blow inland from the eastern lowlands.
Many Filth-Hunting Demons wandered near the shoreline.
They crawled ashore from the sea and spread across the land.
This place had once been a romantic vacation island.
Later, it was converted into a military fortress used to scout and resist sea demons.
Eventually, however, it too was largely abandoned.
The military could no longer hold the islands.
Even so, they still occasionally dispatched smaller, more flexible teams to conduct reconnaissance and gather intelligence.
The information Tang Yue possessed had been obtained through those missions.
At present, neither of them had any direct means of contacting Leng Qing.
Finding her hiding place among such a vast archipelago would be anything but easy.
So, Tang Yue flew into the sky and spread her Wing-Type Magic Equipment, surveying the entire Three Ponds Archipelago from above.
"Fang Yu! Fang Yu! Hurry up here!"
Suddenly, Tang Yue called out anxiously.
After hearing her warning, Fang Yu immediately unfolded his Ice Wings.
Transforming into an icy phoenix, he vigorously beat his wings and rapidly climbed into the sky.
"ROAR!!"
Within what seemed like an endless curtain of darkness stretching from sea to sky, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly snapped open.
Only a vague outline of its enormous body could be seen.
A gigantic whirlpool formed on the sea's surface.
Countless tentacles emerged from beneath the water, violently stirring the ocean.
Compared to that monstrous creature, an entire stretch of seawater looked no larger than a puddle.
All the seawater within the bay had been drained away, leaving behind what looked like a bottomless abyss.
It was a demon whose entire body was covered with writhing tentacles.
Had Tang Yue not been viewing it from such a high vantage point, she would have thought hundreds of separate tentacled monsters were crawling out of the bay.
In reality, they were all connected to the body of a single terrifying monster.
It was the Seven-Colored Sea Coral.
"ROOOAAARRR!!!"
The Seven-Colored Sea Coral let out a thunderous roar and swung its countless tentacles.
A mountain!
The Seven-Colored Sea Coral actually lifted an entire mountain!
It wasn't simply picking up a small hill and throwing it.
It truly possessed the strength to carry a mountain!
And the Seven-Colored Sea Coral wasn't merely blessed with brute force.
Deep blue patterns spread from its body onto the mountain, as though burdening it with a thousand layers of weight while simultaneously making it incomparably sturdy.
Then, the Seven-Colored Sea Coral hurled the mountain with all its might, just like the legendary Heaven-Flipping Seal from ancient tales!
There was no time to evade.
They were intercepted in midair.
"Get the hell out of my way!"
Fang Yu roared.
A powerful Wave of Telekinesis surged forth like a raging tide.
Yet the mountain, empowered by the deep blue patterns, broke free from the Telekinesis and continued hurtling toward them.
"Wind Barrier!"
Tang Yue hovered steadily in the air as she activated her Magic Equipment.
The next moment, flowing wind elements gently lifted her graceful body even higher.
With a casual wave of her hand, wind elements rapidly gathered around Fang Yu, forming a pair of wind wings before folding together into a protective shield.
It blocked the mountain's impact.
"What an incredible Magic Equipment!"
Fang Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Tang Yue still had a trump card.
Otherwise, there'd be no point searching for Leng Qing anymore, they might as well head back home to recover from their injuries.
"Nicely done!"
Fang Yu turned around and praised Tang Yue.
"Ling Ling! Ying~~~"
The Snow Maiden and the little Flame Belle were connected to Fang Yu's thoughts.
The moment they sensed he was in danger, they immediately rushed out of the Contract Space.
"Snow Maiden, merge with me!"
Fang Yu called out to his Snow Maiden.
Frost instantly enveloped his entire body as snowflakes danced through the air.
He looked like the sovereign of ice and snow, his gaze filled with overwhelming majesty.
"Ice Domain · Ice Chain Spears!"
The icy-white starlight of Fang Yu's Ice Element became even more mysterious and noble amidst the swirling snowstorm.
An overwhelming rain of icy chains tipped with frost spears descended from the heavens, viciously impaling the Seven-Colored Sea Coral's tentacles.
The attacks howled as they plunged downward.
The little Flame Belle wasn't about to be outdone either.
To her, those enormous tentacles looked like an incredibly fun toy.
Whenever she got excited, flames instinctively burst from her tiny body.
"Pew pew pew~~~"
Little fireballs.
Big fireballs.
The little Flame Belle transformed into an endless fireball launcher, happily chasing after the giant tentacles.
It was extremely insulting, but dealt practically no damage.
The Seven-Colored Sea Coral didn't take Fang Yu seriously at all.
It was one of the ocean's most ferocious overlords.
Even though its tentacles had been injured, its immense pride remained intact.
Of course, it still made a token effort to defend itself.
A curtain of water suddenly condensed before the Seven-Colored Sea Coral.
However, it had no idea that Fang Yu's Frost Spears possessed such overwhelming power and existed in such vast numbers.
By the time it realized the danger, it was already too late.
"BOOM!!!"
The thin water curtain was utterly incapable of stopping Fang Yu's domineering barrage of frost spears.
As the frost exploded, the Seven-Colored Sea Coral was completely engulfed and frozen solid!
"Let's go. There's no need to waste time fighting this thing here."
Fang Yu spoke as he prepared to leave.
"ROOOAAARRR!!!!"
The Seven-Colored Sea Coral roared in pain.
It had actually been wounded by an insignificant creature it had completely looked down upon.
Shattering the ice imprisoning its body, the Seven-Colored Sea Coral raised its sharp tentacles high into the air.
Its gaze remained fixed on Fang Yu high above, as though it had already sensed both Fang Yu's presence.
Fang Yu and Tang Yue flew over a mountain.
The Seven-Colored Sea Coral simply climbed right over it as well.
The mountain nearly collapsed beneath its immensely powerful body, sending boulders tumbling in every direction.
Fang Yu turned his head, his eyes narrowing.
In the next instant, two crimson beams of destructive death light erupted from the Seven-Colored Sea Coral's eyes!
The scarlet rays shot directly toward the two of them, instantly blasting two horrifying holes through the clouds in the sky!
It had clearly locked onto them.
Fang Yu immediately brought Tang Yue with him and used Blink to teleport onto another mountaintop, causing the attack to miss completely.
"That was close. This demon is way beyond what's expected!"
Fang Yu complained.
"It probably wandered here from the deep sea. There's no record of it in the intelligence reports," Tang Yue analyzed.
After chasing them for several kilometers,
the two of them finally managed to leave the Seven-Colored Sea Coral far behind.
Even so, they could still see it perched atop a distant mountain peak, wildly waving its tentacles and roaring furiously at Fang Yu as he disappeared into the distance.
"If we didn't have something more urgent to deal with, I'd kill that thing, roast it, and make Sea Coral Rice Wraps out of it. Damn it, that's frustrating!"
Fang Yu had never suffered such humiliation before.
"Forget it. Don't let your emotions get the better of you. Finding Leng Qing is what matters most."
Tang Yue said.
