Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 1022 957: East Sea Mutation (Two Chapters Combined)

Gu Xuanxuan consumed the Divine Medicine, achieving a divine level in one leap, an event that took place after Qin Heng left Northern Europe.

No matter how shocked the various forces in Europe were, no matter how much they wanted to investigate the mystery, it had nothing to do with him; he had already returned to Purple Gold Mountain in Beijing.

As for directly investigating Gu Xuanxuan, those European powers didn't dare at all, no matter her past; now she was a Deity, the only Deity walking on Earth!

Who would dare provoke her?

Unless they had a death wish.

Purple Gold Mountain's current situation was no different from when Qin Heng left.

Qi Jia and Xue Qinan were still handling reports from various places, dispatching members of the Myth Organization to deal with them.

However, when Qin Heng returned, he didn't see Qin Yun and Ji Nanxiang; it seemed they had left again.

"Immortal Venerable, Miss Yun and Princess Nanxiang went to the East Sea." The Gold Mother of Pure Dust responded to Qin Heng's query.

"The East Sea?" Qin Heng was slightly taken aback and said, "Has something happened there? I recall Prince East was already there, and he couldn't suppress it?"

"Mainly because the creatures in the sea have mutated, seemingly not just due to the revival of Heavenly Essence, but also influenced by the Nether Qi." At this moment, Xue Qinan approached and spoke to Qin Heng: "In recent days, the East Sea has seen creatures mutating to the Saint Lord level, seemingly with hidden Great Saint level ones, and Prince East alone can hardly cope with the situation now."

"How did it escalate to this level in just a few days?" Qin Heng frowned slightly, sat in the chair, received the tea served by Su Ying, took a sip, and said, "Such large-scale mutations suddenly appearing in the East Sea is quite abnormal, whether due to Heavenly Essence or Nether Qi."

"What do you mean?" Xue Qinan asked, while sitting beside Qin Heng, watching him closely.

"I fear someone is manipulating this situation, influencing the mutation of sea creatures for some purpose." Qin Heng pondered, saying:

"The orchestrator might not be from Earth, possibly from the eighteen thousand major realms, or even from another world, making their motives hard to pinpoint."

"So what should be done?" Xue Qinan furrowed her brows, saying: "In this case, the enemy is in the dark; we're in the light. How do we deal with them?"

"There's a very simple method that would directly expose them." Qin Heng smiled subtly but did not reveal it immediately.

"Huh? There's such a method?" Xue Qinan's curiosity was piqued instantly by Qin Heng, saying: "Tell me about this amazing method that could make the group hiding in dark corners appear on their own?"

Surrounding Qin Heng, the Gold Mother of Pure Dust, Qi Jia, Su Ying, and the Fire Princess all looked at him with curious expressions.

"It's actually quite simple." Qin Heng showed a serene smile, saying: "As long as I kill all those mutated sea creatures, leaving none behind, those hiding behind the scenes of this mutation turmoil would most likely come forward."

"..."

"..."

The crowd, upon hearing this, fell into prolonged silence, looking at Qin Heng's earnest expression, unsure of what to say.

The method Qin Heng described indeed made sense, given his ability to act on the proposal could significantly raise the hope of drawing out the hidden masterminds.

But the difficulty lies in this execution.

How could one possibly kill all mutated sea creatures, leaving none behind?

It's nearly an impossible task.

After all, there are too many creatures in the ocean, both in number and type, far beyond those on land.

Even merely killing the mutated marine creatures would require astronomical numbers; no matter the strength, wanting to annihilate them all is practically impossible.

"It seems you think I can't do it?" Qin Heng smiled lightly and said: "We have gone through a lot together, have I ever failed at anything?"

"Those words indeed have merit, we know your strength, but that's the ocean after all." Xue Qinan organized her thoughts before speaking: "It's different from land."

In the era before Earth's Spiritual Energy revival, the ocean vastly surpassed the land in its vastness, and the creatures within far outnumbered those on land.

The ocean holds many mysteries, was untouched by humanity.

Now with Spiritual Energy's revival, the vast ocean hosts countless mutated creatures, far exceeding those on land, whose quantity and diversity are almost incalculable.

Even locating them proves difficult.

Trying to completely eradicate such a scale of mutated creatures, in Xue Qinan's view, is nigh impossible.

Unless evaporating all of Earth's oceans.

But that's akin to world destruction.

"To me, there's little difference between land and ocean." Qin Heng shook his head gently and smiled lightly: "Let's go to the observation room; let me check out the current situation in the East Sea."

"Okay." Xue Qinan nodded, then led Qin Heng towards the observation room.

Though she didn't truly believe Qin Heng could really execute his plan to kill all mutated sea creatures and draw out the hidden hands, she still held great hopes for him, hoping Qin Heng could suppress the chaos in the East Sea.
