Chapter 219 The Destruction of Poseidon Island

After finishing her chat with Chen Xinjie, Chen Xinyi rushed back to the meeting room.

As soon as she entered, Chen Xinyi saw Bingdi chatting and laughing with her secretary Hai Yaoyun, which immediately put her at ease.

Upon seeing Chen Xinyi return, Hyotei quickly wiped the smile from his face, his expression hardening as he coldly asked, "How much longer until she gets back?"

"My older brother will need another three hours to get back."

When asked by Hyotei, Chen Xinyi answered with evasive eyes.

Seemingly sensing Chen Xinyi's guilty conscience, Hyotei narrowed her eyes and scrutinized her. "Why do you look so guilty?"

"Huh? Really? How could that be? Hahaha!"

Chen Xinyi laughed it off, trying to bluff her way out of it.

But his tone was so weak that even he himself couldn't believe it.

Originally, Chen Xinjie wouldn't have talked to him about the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan. Although he felt pressured when receiving the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor, it wasn't as intense as it is now.

Chen Xinjie's reminder instantly put him under immense pressure.

If this person in front of me were to learn what happened in the far north, the entire Poseidon Island might be destroyed and turned into a pile of ruins on the seabed.

"snort!"

Hyotei snorted coldly, but did not pursue the matter further.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and the reception room was enveloped in a suffocating silence. As time ticked by, footsteps approached from the corridor.

Chen Xinyi's eyes lit up suddenly, and she rushed forward as if she had grasped a lifeline.

"Big brother, you're finally back!"

Chen Xinyi grabbed her older brother Chen Xinjie's arm and complained, "If you don't come back soon, I really won't be able to hold on any longer."

"Alright, Xiao Yaoyun has already told me everything. You can go and get back to work!"

Chen Xinjie gave the instructions to Chen Xinyi with a blank expression.

"Um!"

Chen Xinyi nodded with a sigh of relief and disappeared into the end of the corridor in a flash.

Watching his third brother flee in panic, Chen Xinjie shook his head helplessly, then pushed open the door to the reception room.

Upon seeing Hyotei and Yuki-tei, which looked exactly the same as those described in the records, even Chen Xinjie couldn't help but feel a sense of disorientation.

These are all legendary figures; anyone who sees them would inevitably be momentarily stunned.

But as the patriarch of the Sea God family, the master of the War God Temple, and the commander of the Sea God Legion, Chen Xinjie's mindset had long been tempered to be as calm and steady as the sea.

In just a moment, Chen Xinjie composed himself and walked calmly into the reception room.

After bowing to Su Mo and the other two, Chen Xinjie said in a humble yet respectful manner, "Your Excellencies, Snow Empress and Ice Empress, I am Chen Xinjie, the current patriarch of the Sea God Clan."

"May I ask what brings you two gentlemen to seek me out?"

Hyotei didn't answer. After looking Chen Xinjie up and down, they praised him, "Your strength is not bad."

Hearing Hyotei's evaluation, Chen Xinjie was overjoyed.

If anyone else dared to comment on him like that, Chen Xinjie would definitely snort and wouldn't even bother to pay attention.

But the one who said those words was the legendary Hyotei, and Chen Xinjie couldn't help but feel a little smug.

"Lord Hyotei, thank you for your praise."

Before Chen Xinjie could say anything more, an indescribable sense of crisis suddenly surged up from his spine and spread throughout his body. Without hesitation or time to think about why, Chen Xinjie reacted instinctively.

With a dragon's roar, blazing blue-gold flames burst forth from Chen Xinjie's body, and the brilliant golden four-word battle armor completely covered his entire body within half a second.

Seeing this, Su Mo did not hesitate at all, and pulled Xiao Bai, who had not yet figured out what had happened, away from the battlefield.

"Bang!"

A deep, yet deafening, bang echoed through the reception room.

Before Chen Xinjie's summoned four-word battle armor could even fully solidify, he was sent flying backward as if he had been hit head-on by a high-speed moving iceberg.

"The Realm of Eternal Freeze!"

Ice Empress let out a shout and immediately activated her domain, giving Chen Xinjie no chance to catch his breath.

A terrifying cold wave, centered on Hyotei, rapidly swept across the entire Poseidon Island, indiscriminately devouring all life on the island.

In less than a second, the entire Poseidon Island was completely swallowed up by the overwhelming cold wave.

"Click, click-click-click—!!"

A series of popping sounds, as if objects were being frozen, echoed through the air.

The indiscriminate chill swept across the entire island with destructive force, annihilating all life the moment it touched the cold wave.

Many people didn't even have a chance to look up and see what had happened. Their expressions were still stuck between shock and confusion when, with a crisp "ding," they turned into lifeless ice sculptures.

The next second, their bodies swayed slightly in the cold wind and shattered into countless ice shards.

"This, this—"

Xiao Bai was completely stunned.

Witnessing Poseidon Island transform from a vibrant island into a desolate ice field in just a few seconds was a shock that words cannot describe.

Seeing Xiaobai still in a daze, Su Mo reminded her, "Alright, stop spacing out!"

"Run as far away as you can before the war reaches this area."

"Uh-huh!"

Coming to his senses, Xiaobai hurriedly nodded, then transformed back into his original form without hesitation, leading his people to swim desperately into the depths of the sea.

After watching Xiaobai and the others leave safely, Su Mo returned to the battlefield without hesitation.

"Hyotei!!!"

Chen Xinjie's roar was like thunder tearing the sky apart, suddenly exploding underground in the Sea God Palace. At this moment, his voice no longer had any of its previous composure, only boiling anger and killing intent remained. With the support of his proud Divine Origin Realm spiritual power, Chen Xinjie could clearly sense that the life force on the entire Sea God Island was being extinguished at a desperate speed.

Among those people were young successors whom he had personally selected and on whom he placed high hopes;

Among them were his comrades who had crawled out of the battlefield with him back then;

There are also many ordinary people and elderly people who have lived their entire lives on Poseidon Island.

But now—

They are all dead.

He died at the hands of Hyotei.

"boom!"

A surge of soul power erupted from Chen Xinjie's body like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down, leveling the entire Sea God Palace in an instant. Then, covered in blood and looking disheveled, Chen Xinjie flew out from underground.

At this moment, Chen Xinjie no longer possessed the composure and nonchalance he had as the number one person in the Federation.

He just managed to summon his four-word battle armor in time to block the Ice Emperor's fatal blow.

But that's the legendary Hyotei.

Seeing the once prosperous and vibrant Poseidon Island reduced to a lifeless, icy hell, Chen Xinjie's eyes widened in fury, his chest heaved violently, and the string of "reason" in his mind snapped instantly.

Why?

"Tell me why? Hyotei!"

Why did you attack these innocent people?

"Aren't you afraid of the sea god's wrath?"

Chen Xinjie roared hysterically at Hyotei.

Seeing Chen Xinjie's broken defenses, Hyotei sneered and mocked mercilessly, "They are innocent, but aren't my people innocent too?"

"They did nothing and were slaughtered by you humans. Aren't they innocent?"

"I will not let any of the forces involved in that massacre—the Sun Moon Federation, the Spirit Pagoda, the Tang Sect, or any other faction—go to the extreme. I will exterminate them all."

"!!!"

Chen Xinjie, who had been consumed by anger, instantly snapped out of his rage upon hearing Hyotei's words. He looked at Hyotei in disbelief and asked, "You know about what happened in the far north?"

What do you think?

Hyotei responded coldly.
