Chapter 399: The battle that suddenly ended

“We have already killed the physical body of the soul-gnawing beast, so the other parts of him should disappear as well. Those sea beasts should slowly come to their senses, and will not be able to fly in the air either.” Sima You Yue said, “We haven’t finished all our things here. Continue to observe the situation and let me know.”
After speaking, she cut off the connection.
Sima You Yang looked at Sima Tai. They had heard what Sima You Yue said as well, and it was like a burden had lifted off their hearts.
“Look at those sea beast’s eyes- they’re slowly regaining their consciousness.” Sima Lin pointed at the sea beasts who were nearby and said.
Everyone looked over to where he pointed, and they truly did see the confusion in those eyes melt away and become more focused.
Those eyes were all confused, as if they did not know what they were doing there.
“Crash-”
“Crash-”
The sea beasts fell to the ocean below one by one, and were unable to fly again.
“They are really unable to fly anymore!”
The spirit masters in the air were initially planning to battle the sea beasts, but they didn’t expect that their opponents would suddenly drop down. They were excited that they started shouting with joy.
“Second Main Leader, do we exterminate them?” Someone asked.
“No need.” Sima Tai said, “These sea beasts were controlled by someone, and had no idea what they were doing. First send men to notify those at other areas. Do not engage in a life and death battle first. Wait for Main Leader to return, then we’ll see what he says.”
“Yes, Second Main Leader.”
Those in other areas heard the news, and did not do anything to the sea beasts on the beach. They waited for what Sima You Yue had to say.
After one to two hours passed, Sima You Yue contacted Sima You Yang again, asking, “How is it?’
“Those sea beasts have already come back to their senses. There are more of the sea beasts on the beach, and everyone is asking how to deal with them.”
“Release them all.” Sima You Yue said, “They didn’t know what they were doing. Who knows, humans may be able to leverage on this to form good relationships with the sea beasts, and our journeys to the ocean may be safer.”
“Okay.” Sima You Yang said, “When do you plan to come back?”
“That Devil General and soul-gnawing beast have already been settled, but Forgotten Worry Island has yet to become safe.” Sima You Yue said, “We may have to stay here for a few days and come back when we’ve settled things here.”
“Then, you all take care.” Sima You Yang said.
“We will. We’ll be in touch if anything happens.” Sima You Yue cut off the connection once again once she finished speaking.
Sima Tai turned to the people beside him and said, “Did you hear what Main Leader said? Aren’t you going to spread the word!”
“Yes, Second Main Leader.” The people beside him replied before leaving.
Sima Tai first sent men down to discuss things with the highest ranking sea beasts. Only after speaking, would they send those sea beasts back to the ocean.
“Second Main Leader, is the danger this time over just like that?”
Some people couldn’t believe it. A little over an hour ago, they were fighting with the sea beasts to the death. In such a short moment, the battle that they had fought for months was over?
“It can be counted as such.” Sima Tai said.
The situation this time had been circumvented, but the consequences might cause great changes to their current power distributions.
Some powers had lost many men during this battle, and their strength had fallen quite a lot. This would influence their power rankings.
He waved his hands, saying, “First clear up the mess, then take note of our death count.”
“Yes, Second Main Leader.”
Where Sima You Yue was, just as Mo Sha and Devil General were fusing together, she received Sima You Yang’s cry for help. She then realised that because Flam Bird wanted to mess around, he did not burn the soul-gnawing beast to death completely.
Adding that on to the fact that he never stopped absorbing souls, his body continued to survive.
Crimson Flame got Flame Bird to directly burn the soul-gnawing beast to death completely. Then, once they ascertained that the dark cloud had completely dissipated, Sima You Yue cut the call.
After an hour had passed, that black cloud didn’t seem to shrink. They didn’t know how Mo Sha and the Devil General were doing either.
“Nothing bad should have happened to him right?” Sima You Yue could not help but ask.
“I don’t think so.” Yun Yi wasn’t certain either, “He looked so domineering just now, I don’t think it was mere bravado.”
“But it’s been so long, and there hasn’t been any movement inside. Aside from the loud cry right at the beginning, there hasn’t been any sound at all.” Sima You Yue said.
“Are you worried about this Lord?” Sima You Yue had just spoken when Mo Sha’s voice was heard.
Following which, the darkness that cloaked the entire sky, came together and formed the shape of a person. It was actually Mo Sha’s silhouette.
“You’ve become stronger?” At a glance, Sima You Yue could tell that his soul had become more solid that before and asked with curiosity.
“I absorbed a little of his strength and happened to be able to recover a bit of my soul.” Mo Sha said.
“You couldn’t have taken such a long time because you were absorbing the Devil General’s strength, right?” Sima You Yue’s expression darkened.
“That’s right.” Mo Sha said, “The cry you heard earlier should be his cry just before he died.”
“He died at that point?” Sima You Yue glared at his hatefully, shouting, “You didn’t even tell me when you killed him off that early! And I was even worried about you for so long? You’re too cruel!”
“I thought that you already understood me, and should know that I wouldn’t need such a long time to deal with him.” Mo Sha was looking speechlessly at the particular person who was fuming.
“Say it, what did you find out.” Crimson Flame said while looking at Mo Sha.
“I found out a few things from his memory.” Mo Sha replied.
“You even obtained his memories?” Sima You Yue asked incredulously.
“A person’s brain won’t stop immediately upon death. At that moment, I entered his brain and obtained his memories.” Mo Sha replied.
After leaving the devil realm for so many years, he finally found out what that place had become. He also found out how those powers were doing, were they were waiting for him to come back for revenge?
“Hey, what are you thinking about?” Sima You Yue saw that Mo Sha was actually zoning out, and was extremely curious.
“Nothing much.” Mo Sha collected his thoughts and said, “Didn’t you want to eradicate the danger? If you don’t stabilize the space here, people might come here not long later and do something to the human race again.”
Sima You Yue nodded, saying, “I was thinking the same thing. That Devil Emperor said that the Devil General had been imprisoned here, and he has been attacking the space all this while, which is why Devil General had the opportunity to come here by using the soul-gnawing beast. If Devil Emperor continues to attack space here, who knows whether another Devil General will come here soon after. As such, we have to attack the problem at the roots.”
“Not bad.” Yun Yi seconded her thoughts.
“Since this is the case, follow me.” Mo Sha said.
“Where are we going?” Sima You Yue asked.
“That Devil General already knew where the Devil Emperor was, and has even seen him. I’ll take you to him.”
