Chapter 527
‘This is…’
Zhang Dong looked at his map, there he could see a reddish tint that looked like fog. It was an indicator that something that didn’t belong to this Empire was coming. They were coming from the dead sea filled with monsters that he had to pass to get here. The water elements were out of order and when floating out to get a better look he could see a massive tidal wave coming.
‘Of all the times…’
There was a problem here, the master of this area was now dead. His nascent divinity made its way into his seed and was already nourishing it. The protective formation that he overloaded to keep the other masters here had also been damaged. These people didn’t have the know-how or resources to establish it again.
‘Can these fish people even come on land… those sea creatures didn’t seem to like the sun too much.’
He felt a bit responsible for what was awaiting the city residents that didn’t have anything to do with the Onyx Moon Sect. If the deep sea creatures were able to climb on land they would certainly destroy the coastline. The demonic sect members would probably abandon the people living here and prioritize themselves. They would surely give up their land if it meant survival.
‘This might also be a good chance to see what these fish people can really do…’
While floating in the air he looked at the terrified citizens. The tsunami wave was foreshadowed by a large dark storm that blocked out the sun. Some of the cultivators were already starting to flee while others were waiting for his move. Zhang Dong in their eyes was the new Patriarch, they didn’t know what he would do if they just fled without receiving an order.
For the time being, he decided to stay, he could just not let these many people die while he was here. Even though the people living here were brought up with a certain lack of morals that wasn’t their fault. They were mostly victims of their environment and were trying to survive. The young kids that were still not corrupted by this demonic island still deserved a chance.
“Look out, the wave is coming, run!”
“It’s too close, we won’t make it in time!”
“W-wait, what is that?”
People that were closest to the scene were panicking. Their boats that their life depended on were getting capsized. The whole pier would be instantly destroyed after the huge wave collided with it. However, a strange purple haze appeared out of nowhere. The massive wave of water collided with it but couldn’t get through.
This wave of energy started spreading to all sides while quickly halting the water from moving forward. While from the outside it looked miraculous the person performing this act was straining himself. Even though he was a pinnacle grade nascent soul master, contending with this much water wasn’t easy even for him
His Dao that concerned water was high but it was not at the level of these sea dwellers. He needed to use his newfound Dao of gravity to lessen the strain on his spiritual energy. Then slowly the force that created this wave would balance itself out. In the end, only a smaller part of the city was partially flooded with the wave not hitting as hard as it normally would.
Everyone gathered here knew who was responsible for this task. It was a very strange sight to behold as these people were not used to being saved. Already they were wondering what the cause for this act of bravery was. Did their new leader just want to show off and garner sympathy before he betrayed them? They just couldn’t see him doing it out of generosity, he probably needed the city for something and was just defending it for his own selfish reasons.
‘They really look confused…’
To Zhang Dong, this was a strange sight to behold. Normally people that he saved would have already dropped down to their knees to worship his good dead. These people on the other hand seemed to be waiting for some kind of punchline. He could only imagine the life they could have led to this point that would produce such a reaction.
“Just go back inside of your houses, there is nothing you can do here.”
His voice spread through the entire city which confused the residents even more. The way this new Patriarch acted was strange, to say the least. They all saw him floating toward the pier and he was even helping some of the people that were hit by the smaller wave. All the rubble that h
