Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Chapter 868 - 798: Deceived

Saido, who had fled back, saw the sea demons below retreating in disarray, and felt a pang of emotion in his heart."I didn't expect this operation to end in failure!"

Originally, he intended to have a large number of sea demons attack the Human Clan's city, thereby forcing the Taihuang Immortal Sect to hand over the treasures they previously stole from the ancestral land.

However, he didn't anticipate that the sea demon army he dispatched would be utterly defeated in less than an hour.

"I completely underestimated the strength of the Human Clan!"

Only now did Saido realize that his strategy was an ancient method of attacking a city, having the Abyss Electric Eels advance in front and using their released Abyss Electric Balls to push forward.

As long as the Abyss Electric Eels were eliminated, the subsequent sea demons would collapse into disarray.

The sea demons could still have the upper hand when fighting against Human Warriors in the sea.

But when battling Human Warriors on land, they couldn't utilize their advantages at all, and failure was inevitable.

Meanwhile, the Taihuang Immortal Sect used giant battleships and giant cannons to deal with them, causing them to scurry away in panic.

If the sea demons fought those Human Warriors in the ocean, Saido believed those giant battleships and cannons couldn't hurt them.

Upon receiving the order to retreat, the sea demon army immediately fled towards the sea recklessly.

Soon, all the sea demon army retreated into the sea, leaving behind a pile of corpses near the city.

"Retreat!"

The Sai Duo Leader was extremely frustrated, but he was helpless. He had now lost more than half of his Abyss Electric Eels and was reluctant to send the remaining ones into battle.

"Hahaha, what a relief!"

The disciples of the Taihuang Immortal Sect were very happy to see the retreat of the sea demon army. They extended their Divine Sense outward, scanning below, and soon discovered that the corpses of the slain Abyss Electric Eels were missing.

"Where are the bodies of those Abyss Electric Eels?"

The Abyss Electric Eels had at least reached the Martial Saint realm in cultivation, and for some Alchemists, the bodies of those Abyss Electric Eels had many uses.

Those Alchemists wanted to use the bodies of the Abyss Electric Eels to refine special Elixir Pills, and the corpses of the Abyss Electric Eels had many unexpected uses, worthy as High-level Spirit Medicine.

Yet, after searching for a while, those Alchemists found no trace of the Abyss Electric Eels' bodies.

Previously, they were on high alert against the sea demons, to prevent another attack.

Therefore, they hadn't paid attention to observing below.

When the sea demon army retreated, they observed below and suddenly realized that the Abyss Electric Eels' bodies had disappeared.

Evidently, the bodies of those Abyss Electric Eels were either taken by the Human Warriors or by the sea demons.

The disciples of the Taihuang Immortal Sect immediately descended to the ground to inquire with nearby Human Warriors, wanting to know who had taken the Abyss Electric Eels' bodies.

After some inquiries, they finally learned that it was taken by Duan Gujin.

"So it was that young hero!"

The disciples of the Taihuang Immortal Sect immediately reported this intelligence to the elders above, and after the elders organized it, they reported it to the Sect Leader.

The Sect Leader immediately recalled how Duan Gujin had easily killed two Abyss Electric Eels with almost one move alone before.

"Such a powerful Martial Saint! Which sect does that Martial Saint belong to? He wasn't wearing our Taihuang Immortal Sect's attire, so he shouldn't be our sect's disciple!"

After thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered something, and his brows furrowed.

Only then did the Sect Leader recall where the Martial Saint, who had annihilated two Abyss Electric Eels, was now. Why had he left without saying a word?

So, he immediately sent someone to search for Duan Gujin.

Soon, he received intelligence that someone had seen Duan Gujin carrying away some sea demon corpses from the ground.

"That Martial Saint is so powerful! Do any of you know that Martial Saint?"

Only then did the Sect Leader realize that the young man was a completely unfamiliar face.

"We don't know him!"

After some inquiries, he received the same answer each time.

He pondered for a while, then sent people to draw a picture of Duan Gujin from before to have everyone identify him.

After a day of identification, there was no result.

"A mysteriously appearing Martial Saint Expert!"

The Sect Leader's eyes flashed, and he immediately thought of another possibility.

"Could it be that the person who just appeared is the Martial Saint we're pursuing?"

He was startled and quickly sent people to investigate nearby, to see how many Martial Saint Experts had appeared near the area before.

Soon, the people in the vicinity had drawn images of the Martial Saint Experts they had seen earlier.

After some identification, three unfamiliar Martial Saints were confirmed.

"Three unfamiliar Martial Saints!"

The Sect Leader sneered coldly in his heart and suddenly realized something.

"So the people we're hunting down just appeared right under our noses and even took away the Abyss Electric Eels' bodies!"

He reported this intelligence to the elders under his command, and after hearing it, each elder gasped in shock.

They hadn't expected the person wanted by their Taihuang Immortal Sect to be so audacious, appearing openly in front of the Taihuang Immortal Sect and daring to take away the Abyss Electric Eels' bodies.

"Those Martial Saints are too arrogant!"

The elders exclaimed one after another.

"Indeed, those three Martial Saints are truly arrogant!"

The Sect Leader was furious, having been busy dealing with the Sai Duo Leader earlier and seeing the situation below as favorable, he hadn't paid attention to the battle below.

Now he realized that the three Martial Saints he had put on a wanted list had been active right under his nose, clearly showing that they completely disregarded the Taihuang Immortal Sect and him as the Sect Leader.

"Those three Martial Saints are bullying us too much!"

The Sect Leader was furious, having previously been glad that Duan Gujin could slay the Abyss Electric Eels, but now he saw Duan Gujin's actions as self-serving.

The reason that Martial Saint killed the Abyss Electric Eels was simply that he wanted the corpses of the Abyss Electric Eels.

The other party wasn't there to help them defeat the sea demons, but merely wanted to take advantage of the situation!

After figuring this out, the Sect Leader immediately had people draw up images of Duan Gujin and the others.

But after a while, he thought of a problem.

"Those three Martial Saints must have changed their appearances! That's why our people didn't notice them before and couldn't find them! I didn't notice their presence earlier either!"

He carefully recalled everything that happened before and suddenly realized that even if their subordinates had seen Duan Gujin and the three Martial Saints, no one would have recognized those three as the wanted Martial Saints.

Because the three Martial Saints had completely changed their appearances, preventing them from being recognized.

"Such cunning fellows!"

The Sect Leader was gnashing his teeth in hatred towards Duan Gujin and the three Martial Saints, but after pondering for a long time, he still couldn't think of a good way to deal with them.

"What on earth is the origin of those three Martial Saints, and why are they always opposing me?"

The Sect Leader thought this to himself.
