"Yes." The Green Emperor nodded, his expression softened a bit, and then he took out three immortal fruits from the space: "This is a reward for the three of you. Take it back and eat it. It can increase your spiritual power for a hundred years."
"Thank you, Master!"
"Thank you, Master!"
The three of them said this in unison, stepped forward happily to take it, bowed, and then retreated.
At the same time, in the East China Sea Spirit Realm where Xuanyuan Mo Ze was nurturing his soul, Gu Mo, who was guarding the place, was patrolling the sea with his men.
Ever since their master left for travel, the leaders of the eight Phoenix Guards have taken turns to guard here. Because there are unusual movements here every once in a while, even with them guarding here, they cannot suppress those people's curiosity and desire for adventure.
They knew that there was the Lord of Hell in this sea, so they came here to guard it. But in the eyes of others, they thought there was some great fortune or treasure here. Even if there was the risk of being discovered and killed, there would always be people who would take the risk to explore.
"Captain, we have captured three wandering cultivators who were trying to sneak into the sea." A Phoenix Guard came to report.
Gu Mo, who was patrolling the sea with his men, frowned when he heard this and said, "Take the people to the sandy beach." As soon as he finished speaking, he led the team back.
It was almost noon at this time. Although there was a clear rule not to approach the East China Sea Spirit Realm, there were still many cultivators wandering around the area. Therefore, when the cultivators who were watching from a distance saw the Phoenix Guards grabbing three wandering cultivators and coming to the sandy beach, their eyes flickered slightly.
"Let me go, let me go! What rights do you have to arrest me?" A cultivator struggled and tried to break free, but he was being held by the strictly trained Phoenix Guards who would not let him break free easily.
"We didn't do anything. What do you want to do? Let us go!" another person also shouted. Even though he was trying to remain calm, there was fear in his eyes.
"This East China Sea Spirit Realm is not your territory. So what if we sneak in? Let us go!" another person also shouted, but no one responded to him.
Feng Wei escorted them to the sandy beach, kicked them on the back of their knees, and shouted coldly: "Kneel down!" As soon as the words came out, he pressed down hard with his hands.
"ah!"
The three were kicked unexpectedly. They screamed, bent their knees, and knelt down instinctively.
"team leader!"
When the Phoenix Guards saw Gu Mo coming back, they immediately called out to him respectfully. The sonorous and powerful voices could even be heard by the monks in the distance.
The three of them raised their heads and looked at the person who came in front of them. He was wearing a low-key purple robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a badge of the captain of the Phoenix Guard pinned on his waist. Looking up, he had an outstanding face, a cold expression, and the majestic aura of a superior.
This is one of the eight Phoenix Guard captains under the command of the ghost doctor Feng Jiu!
The three people's hearts stagnated, their breathing became disordered, and their bodies trembled slightly due to panic and fear.
"This spiritual area of the East China Sea does not allow cultivators to approach. Don't you know that?" Gu Mo's voice was cold and chilling.
"We, we didn't do anything..." One of them said in a trembling voice, his lips trembling slightly: "Don't, don't kill us, we really, really didn't do anything, we, we just wanted to go to the bottom of the sea to see if there is any underwater fairy palace..."
