I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 287 - 12: South Sea Gods (3/3)
Li Boyang ultimately wasn't able to select a suitable Proverb Talisman for use on the Gold and Silver Gourd.
Because before that, Golden Horn had already returned to the Mountain God Temple with the Kingfisher and Qing He.
At this moment, the sun hadn't set yet, but the last gloaming of sunset could vaguely be seen.
"Is this the doing of that Ling Guzi?"
At the first glance at the Qing He behind Kingfisher, Xiluo asked slightly surprised.
Regarding the Ling Guzi of Bronze Island, Xiluo certainly couldn't not know.
It's just that she didn't expect the other party would actually save someone.
As a life nurtured from Xuan Hui's Remains, hovering between life and death as a living skeleton.
Previously, Xiluo only knew Ling Guzi was researching medical practices, but didn't expect what was being studied was such a bizarre medical practice.
However, thinking about how it was perfected by listening to Li Boyang's teachings, it seemed to become an understandable affair.
"Yes, your Yunmeng Marsh now is truly a place full of talent!"
Although still in a coma, Kingfisher could basically determine Qing He was no longer in life-threatening danger.
To this, Li Boyang, who had stepped forward to check, made the same judgment.
"The wounds have been sutured, missing organs have been replaced, and even the bones with the least impact were reattached with prosthetics..."
"If it were not for Ling Guzi's intervention, she really might not have been saved back."
"But what I'm most curious about now is, how did she sustain these injuries?"
Her injuries were so severe that they completely ruled out naturally occurring wounds.
Li Boyang even somewhat suspected that someone had subjected her to interrogation under torture, persistently forcing water into her lungs, otherwise, how could her lungs have burst like this?
"She should be your High Priest, right?"
Noticing Li Boyang's gaze, Kingfisher nodded and answered.
"That's right, she's my High Priest, from the southernmost part of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range."
"In fact, that's also another reason I'm here to see you."
"The southern coast of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range has already been swallowed by seawater, a water calamity more terrifying than a flood is forming."
"To evacuate her people into the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, Qing He led an elite group to try to intercept those sea gods and sea monsters who had not yet come ashore."
Taking a deep breath, Kingfisher said sorrowfully.
"And then, as you can see..."
"If I hadn't appeared in time, she would've been torn apart by several sea monsters."
Although aware that seawater was backfilling inland and observing the pattern of water currents on the southern coast through the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
But Li Boyang could never have imagined how fast this disaster would spread.
"So, you want us to step in and stop this calamity?"
Before Li Boyang could speak, Xiluo cut straight to the purpose of Kingfisher's visit.
"If I remember correctly, the southern coast of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range is quite close to the Grandmother, right?"
"No matter from which angle, this should be your responsibility, right?"
Xiluo's words were blunt but also truthful.
Last time, when fighting against the flood instigated by Wuzhiqi, many of the Hundred Lands Gods, led by the Immortal Spring God, chose to observe.
Now, this calamity comes from the south, formed by the backflow of seawater, so it should indeed be the responsibility of the Immortal Spring God to prevent it.
At the very least, before the majority of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range is swallowed by seawater, Yunmeng Marsh on the northern side doesn't face too much risk.
"Don't mock me..."
After all, having been with Xiluo for nearly a thousand years, Kingfisher could surely catch the reproach in her words.
"You should be aware of how bizarre the gods of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range are, right?"
"Though Grandmother granted them protection, it's limited to protection at best."
"If truly forced to fight against those sea gods and Calamity God from the ocean, they'd prefer to abandon their territory and head to distant lands."
Sighing helplessly, Kingfisher added.
"Moreover, although Grandmother didn't intervene last time, didn't I take action?"
"And regarding the Celestial Erosion Monarch, didn't Grandmother ultimately acquiesce to letting you release him?"
What Kingfisher said was indeed correct, although she hadn't personally fought.
The assistance from Kingfisher was crucial for Li Boyang to dispel the Cloud Rain over the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, transforming the once Yunmeng Mountain into today's Yunmeng Marsh.
"We never said we wouldn't help you, I understand the principle of 'lips die, teeth grow cold.'"
Raising his hand to stop Xiluo, who was about to continue bickering with Kingfisher, Li Boyang swiftly steered the conversation back on track.
"The question now is, just how much do you know about the situation in the South Sea?"
Fixing his gaze on Kingfisher, Li Boyang squinted as he asked.
Conventional seawater backflow shouldn't cause too much worry.
But the problem was those sea gods and sea monsters that followed, what was their situation exactly?
Just like the situation on Earth in his previous life.
The ocean area in this world is also more than twice that of land.
The depth of the ocean has led to a far greater number of creatures and gods being nurtured than on land.
Li Boyang, with just a glimpse six months ago, discovered many undead beings lurking within the sea, demonstrating its danger.
Moreover, Li Boyang wasn't as ignorant as Kingfisher.
He knew the full truth of "Wu Yi Shoots the Sky" and the god-hunts of Wu Yi.
So the question arose, what exactly happened over at the South Sea?
Why didn't Wu Yi completely eliminate the South Sea Gods, and instead provoked them to become even more aggressive?
Were the gods of the South Sea simply trying to escape an already chaotic Primordial Qi environment, hence targeting the Hundred Lands Mountain Range?
Or, is there more hidden secrets among them? Is someone secretly orchestrating the spread of this calamity?
The lack of information was too great here, even with the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor, Li Boyang found it difficult to grasp the entire event within a short amount of time.
"Our understanding of the South Sea's situation isn't much, otherwise, we wouldn't have been so caught off guard."
Kingfisher gazed straight into Li Boyang's eyes, speaking without dodging.
"You should be able to tell, I'm not lying."
"In fact, our knowledge of the South Sea's situation isn't significantly more than yours."
Upon hearing this, Li Boyang didn't continue questioning further.
Because he believed Kingfisher couldn't possibly conceal anything from him on such an issue.
"So, we're in big trouble, since we don't even know who our enemy is."
Last time, when facing Wuzhiqi, at least Li Boyang knew who his enemy was, what his goal was, and how to achieve that goal.
In contrast, this time, apart from knowing that the enemy is the sea gods and sea demons from the South Sea, there seemed to be little more useful information.
[No, perhaps it's not entirely lacking information.]
Suddenly turning his gaze back to the unconscious Qing He, Li Boyang thoughtfully snapped his fingers.
In the next moment, the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor appeared out of thin air in his hands.
"Other than coming to me for aid, has your Grandmother already begun mobilizing the gods in the south?"
Affirming with a nod, Kingfisher lowered her voice and said.
"To be specific, Grandmother has already informed all the gods willing to stay."
"During the time I've been discussing with you, quite a few gods have likely already engaged in battle with the South Sea gods and sea demons."
"But like I said before, the majority of them are unlikely to fight to the death."
"They are acting only out of respect for Grandmother..."
"Once they ascertain that the catastrophe cannot be stopped, they will flee the Hundred Lands Mountain Range at the earliest opportunity."
Confirming the truth of Kingfisher's words, Li Boyang softly murmured while looking at the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor in his hands, facing upwards.
"The situation doesn't seem to have reached the worst point yet?"
