After making his decision, Su Bai did not delay for a moment.

He didn't even use any of the transportation provided by Dragon Shield.

Under the astonished gaze of the Azure Dragon, he simply waved his hand casually at the space in front of him.

A portal formed by black and white energies suddenly opened, revealing a completely different scene on the other side.

The salty smell of the sea breeze wafted over me, accompanied by the roar of towering waves crashing against the rocks.

"I'm gone."

Su Bai said something to the ghost and stepped through the door first.

The ghost and the hundred guards behind him, who had changed their clothes, entered silently, like shadows.

As the last figure disappeared, the portal closed silently, as if it had never existed.

Canglong stared at the empty reception area for a long time before finally letting out a long breath.

Spanning thousands of miles is just a wave of the hand.

Every time this Eastern Daoist Master reveals his strength, it refreshes his understanding of the world.

……

On a nameless, deserted island in the East China Sea.

This place has been transformed by Dragon Shield into a heavily guarded frontline base.

Dozens of enormous array light screens, like inverted giant bowls, enveloped the entire island, resisting the raging spiritual energy tides at sea.

The atmosphere inside the base was extremely tense.

Every member of the Dragon Shield patrol team wore a look of weariness and vigilance.

Right outside the command post in the center of the base, a middle-aged man with a general's star on his shoulder and a resolute face was pacing back and forth anxiously.

His name is Chen Zhen, the chief commander of the East China Sea War Zone of Dragon Shield, and a powerful expert at the Cave Heaven Realm.

But at this moment, the ruthless general who had experienced countless life-and-death battles had a dark cloud between his brows.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and looked up sharply at the open space in front of him.

Without warning, a ripple spread through the space there.

Immediately afterwards, a black and white portal appeared out of thin air.

Su Bai walked out of the door with a calm face.

Chen Zhen's heart skipped a beat. He quickly stepped forward, stood up straight, and gave a standard military salute.

"Chen Zhen, East China Sea Theater Command, Dragon Shield! Greetings, Mr. Su!"

His voice was loud and clear, but it couldn't hide the excitement in it.

The order from Kyoto had already been issued, saying that a "big shot" would come to resolve the trouble in the East China Sea.

He hadn't expected it to arrive so quickly, and in such an unpredictable way...

Su Bai nodded to him.

His gaze swept past Chen Zhen and landed on the Dragon Shield team members who had come running after hearing the commotion.

Under Su Bai's gaze, these battle-hardened warriors felt an inexplicable pressure and unconsciously held their breath.

At that moment, Ghost and his First Security Brigade also emerged from the doorway.

One hundred and one people, all without a sound.

Their jet-black "Shadow Armor" seemed to devour light, making them blend into the surrounding shadows.

They were like a hundred ghosts emerging from the deepest hell, without heartbeats or breath, only an intensely concentrated killing intent.

The Dragon Shield team members behind Chen Zhen changed their expressions.

They instinctively gripped their weapons, sensing a deadly threat from these uninvited guests.

"One of our own."

Chen Zhen gave a low shout, suppressing the restlessness of his men.

But a layer of cold sweat seeped out from his own back.

Who exactly are these people?

He could clearly see the cultivation level of each person; they were all at the Shackled Realm.

The oppressive feeling created by a hundred Shackled Realm cultivators gathered together even made him, a Cave Heaven Realm cultivator, feel a slight tremor in his heart.

"How is the situation?"

Su Bai ignored these details and asked directly.

"Please come with me, sir."

Chen Zhen dared not delay and immediately stepped aside to lead Su Bai into the command post.

Inside the command post, the light was dim.

In the center is a huge sand table, which uses magic to simulate the terrain of the East China Sea.

In the very center of the sand table, there is an area shrouded in a constantly churning, thick, inky black mist.

"Please take a look, sir."

Chen Zhen pointed at the black mist, his voice heavy.

"The entrance to the folded space is right in the center of this black mist."

"This black mist has an extremely strong isolating effect; any divine sense that probes into it will be instantly swallowed up without a trace."

"We lost seven outstanding team members just to barely determine the precise coordinates of the entrance."

He paused, a look of heartache appearing on his face.

"As for the situation inside... we know very little."

"Everyone who went in died."

Su Bai stared at the black mist without saying a word.

He could sense that it was not ordinary fog, but a chaotic energy body mixed with spatial power, resentment, and some unknown law.

"We only managed to salvage one thing."

Chen Zhen took a deep breath and took out a cracked blue stone from his pocket.

"This is the 'Mystic Light Recall Stone' carried by the second exploration team; it recorded the last scene they saw."

Chen Zhen infused his magic power into it.

hum!

The Echo Stone emitted a soft hum, and a beam of light was projected onto the wall of the command post.

The scene begins.

The camera angle is shaky, clearly indicating that the recorder is moving quickly.

What came into view was a desolate, gray-black beach.

The sky was dark red, as if it would never dawn.

The air was filled with a black mist that was no different from the outside world, only much denser.

The video shows rapid breathing and the hissing sound of mana shields being corroded.

"Captain! This is bad! The fog in this godforsaken place is devouring our life force!"

A terrified voice rang out.

"Hold on! Keep going! We must find the energy source!"

Another steady voice came from the deputy commander of Dragon Shield.

The scene continues to unfold.

They seemed to have landed on an island, surrounded by withered, strangely shaped trees.

The black fog grew thicker and thicker, reducing visibility to less than three meters.

Suddenly, the screen shook violently!

"ah--!"

A piercing scream came from the rear of the column.

The recorder turned around sharply, but all he could see was a swirling thick fog.

One of the team members simply vanished into thin air.

Fear began to spread among the ranks.

"What is that?!"

"I didn't feel anything!"

"Captain! Let's retreat! This place is too eerie!"

"Shut up! Form a defensive formation!"

The vice commander's voice also trembled slightly.

On the light screen, a golden defensive array lit up, enveloping everyone and barely dispelling the surrounding black mist.

But just then...

scoff!

A soft sound, like cloth being torn.

The incredibly sturdy golden light shield was suddenly torn open with a huge gash without any warning!

Black mist surged in wildly!

At the very instant the light shield shattered, the black mist in the image thinned for a fleeting moment.

Everyone saw it clearly.

Right in front of them.

A... no, a section.

A massive, indescribably huge tentacle, dark purple in color, covered with mysterious runes and countless pale white eyeballs...

With a gentle twitch, the tentacle swept a peak Shackled Realm expert along with his magical artifact into the depths of the black mist.

He didn't even have time to scream.

The scene abruptly ends there.

The final image captured was the recorder's desperate scream, followed by utter darkness.

Inside the command post, there was a deathly silence.

The staff officers behind Chen Zhen were pale-faced and trembling slightly.

They had seen the footage more than once, but each time, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

That's all we know.

Chen Zhen's voice was extremely hoarse.

"We don't even know what kind of monster it is."

Su Bai stared at the dark light screen, his face remaining expressionless.

He was only slightly interested in the runes on the tentacles.

Just then.

The door to the command post was violently pushed open from the outside.

A strange, sarcastic voice rang out.

"Commander Chen, I heard that the savior sent from Kyoto has arrived?"

A young man dressed in fine clothes and with an arrogant face walked in, surrounded by a group of equally haughty cultivators.

He glanced at the frozen darkness on the wall, then at Su Bai, and the ghostly squad behind him, who stood like statues.

A look of undisguised contempt appeared on the young man's face.

"Is that all the people?"

"Has the Azure Dragon Commander-in-Chief lost his mind? Sending these few little cats and dogs to feed the fish in the East China Sea?"
