Thousands of light rays were focused on the demonic shadow behind the Ice Emperor.

The shadow was the size of a mountain. The light rays were piercing it and leaving it full of holes. Its evil Aura was dissipating rapidly after being scorched by the sacred lights.

The Ice Emperor screamed at the sky. His eyes, ears, face, and throat had the same sacred light bursting out of them now, all attacking the demonic shadow.

The old man was in tremendous pain. He was a Forbidden Mage, and was extremely strong. However, the Giant Clock Mountain had set a perfect trap for him!

The Magic Formations established with Elemental Diamonds and the Ice Formation he stood on were not providing him the energy to open a gate at the bottom of the sea with a Forbidden Curse. They were supporting the chiefs Forbidden Curse instead!

The Forbidden Curse did fall, but it did not land on the coordinates the sea monsters had planned, but on the Ice Forbidden Mage who had long lost his will and mind.

The sunlight at noon was extremely bright. When the Forbidden Curse of Light finally fell, it felt like the whole sea, city, and the Giant Clock Mountain was going to melt.

If Chief Hua had not controlled its damage, Qinhuangdao and the surrounding waters would have had a very different fate!

A burned smell lingered in the air. Something had obviously perished and turned into scattering ashes.

Mo Fans vision recovered after a long time. The demonic shadow which had claimed to be the South Pole Emperor was gone by the time he could see clearly.

The old man in a white robe fell on the ground feebly. He no longer had an imperious demeanor. He looked like a dying old man.

So thats why there were two Forbidden Mages here... Hua Yuezhu finally realized.

Chief Hua slowly walked through the curtain of light which remained. He had a holy look to him, despite his black hair, beard, and clothes. His temperament was completely different from his previous gentle demeanor. He was walking in the light like a child of the sun, spreading light by waving his hands and eliminating evil with his gaze.

The truth is always difficult to find. The light you see in an abyss isnt necessarily the exit, but the eye of the devil! Chief Hua approached the aged Forbidden Mage.

Can a Forbidden Mage be turned into a puppet? Mo Fan asked Chief Hua in disbelief.

The sea monsters conspiracy was only possible with the Ice Emperors full assistance. Didnt you always believe Zhang Xiaohou was right? Chief Hua asked in return.

Either Zhang Xiaohou was enticed, or the Ice Forbidden Mage was being controlled.

The truth had proven that Zhang Xiaohou was right. He had learned the truth, but only the tip of the iceberg.

Do not underestimate the sea monsters intelligence, and do not underestimate humanitys intelligence, either.

It was the reason why Chief Hua had not changed his decision after hearing what these young Mages had to say.

He was relieved. These young Mages had not allowed the mists of the sea to fool their eyes. They had tried their best to learn the truth. They had done a great job, even though they had only learned a part of the truth.

As for the bigger iceberg, it was his responsibility as the military chief and the Guardian of China to handle it!

Can you please explain the whole situation to me? Im still a little lost, Mo Fan stared at Chief Hua.

Thats understandable. You are not a Forbidden Mage, so there are many things you still dont know, Chief Hua replied.

Please enlighten me... after all, if you hadnt stepped forward, I would have had to fight that old man, Mo Fan said.

Chief Hua burst out laughing. Mo Fan was not wrong, either!

You should hide your power as best as you can. There are many powerful existences in the world. The Emperor controlling this old man was one of them. Its strength is at the very top of the world. Its also one of the main culprits causing the rise of the sea level.

It might have looked easy when I destroyed its body just now, but that thing is currently at the South Pole. If I fought its true self, I wouldnt live for more than five minutes! Chief Hua patted Mo Fan on the shoulder, as if he was good friends with him.

A powerful Emperor, who was strong enough to control a Forbidden Mage, was stirring up chaos in the Bohai Sea all the way from the South Pole!

Mo Fan realized he had stepped into a domain he had never realized existed before.

The news of the deaths of the Forbidden Mages who had gone to the South Pole was mentioned briefly, but no one knew exactly what had happened!

You already knew about the sea monsters conspiracy and that the Ice Emperor was being controlled. You also knew about the Underwater River? Mo Fan had to ask.

Chief Hua shook his head and said, The Ice Kingdom is at the South Pole. The Sea Monsters Kingdom is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The Emperor at the South Pole didnt just pick on our homeland. It is challenging hundreds of countries across the five continents, but the Sea Monsters Kingdom is the enemy our nation is facing.

If we were describing it with Chinese Chess, the South Pole Emperor is controlling the pieces.

The enemies invading our lands are the Chariots, Horses, Cannons, and Pawns. They each represent a different kingdom, horde, and species in the Pacific Ocean.

We are the Advisors and the Elephants. We can only protect our territory.

Its an unfair chess match, since we only have the Advisors and Elephants, while their countless Chariots, Horses, Cannons, and Pawns will keep crossing the middle line to invade our territory.

The shoreline between the land and the sea was like the middle line of Chinese chess.

Humans only had a few pieces available, but the demon creatures had all of them!

There was no victory in an unfair chess match. All that mattered was how many rounds they could survive, or whether they could reach a draw by trying their best.

We had no idea about the Underwater River in the Bohai Sea, so your efforts werent in vain. At least we prevented the sea monsters from invading through the Bohai Sea, Chief Hua went on.

Prevented the sea monsters from invading through the Bohai Sea... Why does that sound like the other seas are in danger?! Mo Fan exclaimed.

Their homeland bordered the Yellow Sea, East China Sea, and South China Sea. Of them, the East China Sea and South China Sea were most likely being invaded by the sea monsters. They would also end up being the main battlefield!

Mm, while you were busy with the Forbidden Curse in the Bohai Sea, we have received news from the East China Sea and South China Sea. Our people have discovered gates connected to the Pacific Ocean. The sea monsters are advancing through the gates as we speak! Chief Hua confirmed.

Mo Fans jaw dropped.

It was just a random thought he had, but to his surprise, there were shortcuts between the Pacific Ocean to the waters of the East China Sea and South China Sea, too!

Were the sea monsters finally here?!

If our country had more soldiers like Zhang Xiaohou, perhaps we could have delayed the war by another month or two, Chief Hua sighed.

Mo Fan could only look helpless.

In the end, the truth they had discovered by risking their lives was only the tip of the iceberg.

They had only learned a small part of the sea monsters conspiracy!
