The clan leader of the O'Neill family has been under a lot of pressure recently. People from the Ark Continent have gone missing, and there is the continuously expanding innate yin land. Although the rate of expansion is not very fast, sooner or later, there will be a day of confrontation. The main issue is that the area of that innate yin land is too large; even if they wanted to deal with it, it wouldn't be easy.
On top of that, the inexplicable disappearances of the people from the Ark Continent could become a hidden danger for the O'Neill family. As a clan leader of a prominent family, he cannot ignore these concerns.
However, this time, the O'Neill family has invested heavily for the Ark Continent. They have also discovered various minerals there, which are exactly what they need. He is reluctant to let go of this opportunity, so he is even more eager to find out where the people of Ark Continent have gone. Even in his dreams, the clan leader thinks about this matter.
Now, George's news is definitely good news for the clan leader. Invisible enemies are the most dangerous; once they can be seen, there are ways to deal with them. So when he heard George's report, the clan leader was genuinely excited. Although there were some losses on George's side, it no longer mattered to the clan leader.
Upon hearing this news, the clan leader immediately summoned the warriors in the family and arranged for people to support George and Penis. Supporting George is essential since enemies have already established a presence there. However, the O'Neill family must understand what lies behind that spatial rift.
Support for Penis is also necessary, as they have discovered several mineral sites there. Moreover, the undead beings at those mines are still mining. For the clan leader, this is absolutely unacceptable. In his eyes, those mines belong to the O'Neill family. Anyone trying to encroach upon them is provoking the O'Neill family, completely forgetting that he himself is an invader.
Zhao Hai has been observing the O'Neill family's reactions, which were within his expectations. He did not anticipate that once the O'Neill family provided support for the demon realm, he would immediately recall most of the undead beings and Ironclad Beasts back to his space. Zhao Hai only left a few undead beings in the demon realm to hold down the O'Neill family's forces.
Zhao Hai's actions are intended to relieve pressure on the rift's defense line and make the O'Neill family think that the undead beings in the demon realm have no connection with those at the rift.
Walking in the sea, every minute brings new and interesting sights. Even though these sights may not be very appealing to Zhao Hai and his companions, they find them enjoyable nonetheless. So, they have been living quite comfortably these past few days.
However, Zhao Hai has also discovered that the divine race is not foolish; they have arranged for people to monitor Zhao Hai and his companions in the sea. But those from the divine race haven't ventured into the deep sea, so Zhao Hai noticed them, while they did not detect his presence.
There are sea tribe people in the Ark Continent, and there are also sea tribe people among the divine race. However, the sea tribe people from the divine race are not the same as those from the Ark Continent. The sea tribe in the Ark Continent is governed by the mermaid clan and is considered an independent group. In contrast, the sea tribe here belongs to the divine race and is subject to their control, divided into thirteen clans in that area.
Of course, Zhao Hai is unaware of this; it is all information provided by Xiao Bingya. Xiao Bingya had previously interacted with the sea tribe of the orc divine race, so he has some understanding of the various sea tribes.
Even though they have been in the sea for several days, Zhao Hai has maintained contact with Fei'er and informed her about the situation with the O'Neill family, so they can prepare.
After traveling for another two days, Zhao Hai felt it was about time. According to the simple map Xiao Bingya had given him, if they were indeed walking in a straight line and maintaining such speed, they should be nearing the outskirts of the Central Continent.
