Chen Lei breathed a sigh of relief. After the seal was lifted, he could feel as free as the sea allowed fish to leap and the sky allowed birds to fly. The shackles that bound him were finally broken.
At this time, all the elders came back to their senses and looked at Chen Lei with confusion and puzzlement on their faces. They didn't understand what Chen Lei's martial spirit was that could actually resolve their heavenly tribulation.
It can be said that it was Chen Lei who saved their lives this time, otherwise, they would all have died under the heavenly calamity.
"Brother Chen Lei, thank you so much. I am grateful for your kindness. If you need my help in the future, please let me know."
Yuan Ming, the elder of Yuan Jian Sect, still had lightning flashing on his body and bared his teeth, but he spoke very sincerely.
"Old Yuan, you are so rude. You interrupted me to say something."
Elder Tian Kuantian also limped to Chen Lei and said to him, "Chen Lei, this time I owe you a favor. If you need me to do anything in the future, I will do it for you no matter how hard you try."
Several elders from other sects, such as the Eight Desolate Sect and the Blue Sea Palace, also came over to express their gratitude to Chen Lei. This time, if it weren't for Chen Lei, they would definitely have died.
Of course, there were also several elders who had cold faces and did not show any intention of thanking him, such as Tan Zong from the Hanhai Sect and several other elders, as well as several ninth-level Martial Emperor elders from the Zhao Clan, such as Li Chenghu, Li Huibo and others. Although they were indeed rescued by Chen Lei, they had no intention of thanking Chen Lei and even thought of killing Chen Lei and studying the secrets of Chen Lei.
Of course, such thoughts cannot be made public at this time, otherwise it will definitely cause public outrage and be attacked by everyone.
But they could not sacrifice their reputation to thank Chen Lei, so they sat cross-legged on the deck and began to practice internal exercises to heal their wounds.
This time, the injuries suffered by these elders can be said to be extremely serious. These are not ordinary injuries, but are caused by a natural calamity. They can be said to be injuries from the Great Dao. If you want to fully recover, it will take dozens or even hundreds of years.
However, this minor injury is nothing compared to those ninth-level Martial Emperors of the Sea Clan who died in the heavenly calamity.
At this time, these elders did not dare to stay in this sea area any longer. Although they had used the power of the heavenly calamity to trick the sea clan, causing them to lose seventy or eighty top-level Martial Emperor ninth-level warriors, the sea clan's foundation of hundreds of thousands of years was absolutely extraordinary. The loss of these warriors only made the sea clan feel a little painful, and it was far from being a serious blow to their vitality. They'd better take this opportunity to return to the sect as soon as possible.
Afterwards, everyone took out the nautical chart, compared them one by one, and confirmed the location here.
Before this, Elder Li Chenghu had confirmed this place repeatedly, but he did not know where it was. However, there were elders from other sects who knew this sea area and had detailed sea maps.
After determining the location, the elders said goodbye to each other and returned separately. At this point, this journey to the secret place on the sea came to an end.
Chen Lei and his companions, along with Elder Li Chenghu and others, hurried towards the Deep Blue Empire. However, on the way, Li Hanshan, Li Huibo and others quietly left and no longer traveled with Chen Lei and his companions.
