Rebirth: City Sovereign

On the surface of the sea, there was a gentle breeze, causing the water to not move at all.    

    

From afar, he saw rows upon rows of wooden houses built from thick branches on the coast of the sea. The dry air was blowing gently and some seawater was gently hitting the shore, splashing onto the high waves.    

    

It was noon, and in the sky, a flat, round planet was emitting a bright white light, illuminating this land. Under the light, the sand and dust near the sea could be clearly seen.    

    

At this moment, there was a clear sound on the surface of the sea. A few meters tall wave suddenly rose from the sea near the shore, and the figure of a robust man appeared from within the wave.    

    

"Plop!"    

    

It was a strong young man around twenty years old with a buzz cut. His upper body was naked, his abs and pectoral muscles looked sturdy, and his skin was tanned.    

    

White spots could be seen on his face and many parts of his skin. It was very obvious under the contrast of his swarthy skin.    

    

At this moment, the young man looked extremely excited. The tip of the harpoon in his right hand was pierced and the body of a fish was still struggling.    

    

He walked to the shore in a practiced manner and threw the fish into a wooden bucket he had prepared a long time ago. At this moment, there were seven or eight fish of similar quality in the bucket.    

    

With a bucket and a harpoon in one hand, the young man ran towards a tall wooden house on the shore. There were footprints on the sand.    

    

"Little Spirit, I'm back."    

    

The young man excitedly said as he opened the wooden door.    

    

"Brother." Inside the wooden house, a petite girl covered with a blanket was sitting on a wooden wheelchair as she spoke with a faint smile.    

    

The woman had watery blue hair and eyes, and a black headband on her head. She looked very cute, and her skin was very white, but if one looked closely at her face, they would see that there was the same white spot on it as the man's.    

    

A stove was built next to the woman. The boiling water in the big pot bubbled and steam filled the air.    

    

The man named Hai Ou left the harpoon outside to the side, raised the bucket in his hands, and waved it at the girl, smiling as he spoke.    

    

"Look at today's harvest, five big fat fish! "Heh heh."    

    

"You must be hungry, big bro will cook a big meal for you right now."    

    

After the man finished speaking, he walked towards the kitchen and took out a rusty kitchen knife. With a practiced motion, he killed the fish in the wooden bucket one by one. After dealing with the organs and blood, he cut them open.    

    

Looking at her brother's back, Hai Ling smiled faintly at first, but after a moment, she revealed a complicated expression and said.    

    

"Brother, I heard that this year, our town will have people coming to conduct the selection as well."    

    

"Oh."    

    

Hai Ou revealed a look of indifference, his gaze was placed on the fish that was halfway done, and answered simply.    

    

Seeing Hai Ou like this, Hai Ling hesitated for a moment, before continuing.    

    

"Brother, in fact, in this town, in terms of talent in terms of techniques and martial arts, you are the most qualified to enter the Immortal Realm sect. Don't worry about me, you can go live in a better place, or even go to a planet with better conditions in the future.    

    

"What about you? What are you going to do? Starve to death?" Hai Ou scoffed.    

    

"I know so many skills, I'm afraid I won't be able to raise them myself." Hearing her brother's mocking tone, Hai Ling immediately pouted and said unhappily.    

    

"Big brother, I'm serious. The selection process only happens once every three years. Three years ago, the mayor personally came to find you, but you rejected him. Several people in the town are unhappy with you."    

    

"So be it. What does it have to do with me?"    

    

"In short, as long as you have the will, I can discuss it with the mayor right now and give you the chance to select them."    

    

"Little Spirit, stop talking." But before Hai Ling could finish speaking, Hai Ou had already stopped what she was doing and opened her mouth to stop him. Even so, his gaze did not turn towards her sister. She just stood there with her head lowered, speaking quietly.    

    

"We've already discussed this matter since the death of our parents."    

    

The pieces of processed fish meat fell into the wok along the chopping block. Hai Ou added various seasonings and stirred the fish soup as he spoke.    

    

"If I go to the sect, who will take care of you? You're my only sister."    

    

"But …"    

    

"Alright, let's call it a day. Try it, isn't it?" The seagull scooped a bowl of fish soup and handed it over to Hai Ling, then said with a smile.    

    

Seeing her brother like this, Hai Ling did not mention what happened just now again. She only sighed, pursed her lips into a smile, and took a sip from the spoon.    

    

"Delicious."    

    

Suddenly, a miserable voice came from outside the wooden house.    

    

Ah!    

    

Hearing this voice, the siblings' faces froze, revealing a confused expression.    

    

Following that, the miserable screams of the villagers could be heard one after another, reaching the siblings' ears.    

    

"Help, help!"    

    

"Run! Monster! Monster killed!"    

    

Hai Ou's expression immediately darkened, he signalled for Hai Ling to be quiet, while she himself sneaked to the side of the wooden house, opened the door, and peeked through the crack in the door.    

    

The moment the scene on the shore entered his eyes, Hai Ou was stupefied.    

    

He only saw ten meter long, entirely brown red, Spiritual Lion s with burning flames on their fur opening their bloody mouths, ruthlessly biting the corpse of a villager. Behind them, there were all kinds of broken corpses and limbs scattered everywhere, thick blood flowed out from the wounds, and dyed the entire coastal area in black and red.    

    

"Brother, what happened?" The moment Hai Ling asked that question, when Hai Ou returned to her room, she immediately grabbed her sister's body from the wheelchair and broke out of the window!    

    

"Ya!" Frightened by Hai Ou's sudden action, Hai Ling closed her eyes and let out a sharp scream.    

    

"Bang, bang!" Hai Ou's body tumbled and landed on the sand, he desperately hugged his sister's petite body and ran in the opposite direction of the Spiritual Beast.    

    

Why would Spiritual Beast appear in the coastal village that was as calm as a day for over ten years, and why would the Spiritual Beast attack the humans like crazy again? These kinds of thoughts were immediately thrown away by Hai Ou after it appeared briefly in his mind.    

    

At this moment, there was only one thought in his heart.    

    

Flee!    

    

Hai Ling's body had always been frail and weak. Her legs were not healthy, so she could not walk, but instead had to carry her sister, who was also running towards the Congli. Behind him, miserable screams continuously sounded, and the smell of blood could be smelt from her nose.    

    

To escape to somewhere, Hai Ou had never thought that this coastal hut was his and his sister's only home. He could only try his best to stay as far away from the Spiritual Beast as possible.    

    

"Brother!" His sister's panicked voice sounded in his ears.    

    

"What is it?" As he gasped for breath, Hai Ou asked.    

    

"Lion, lion has caught up!"    

    

Hearing Hai Ling's words, Hai Ou's heart instantly became cold, she turned her head, and looked behind him.    

    

Behind him, a Spiritual Lion with a mouth full of human blood was charging towards him with a speed that was several times faster than his own!    

    

"Fuck, are we going to kill them all?" Hai Ou cursed, the Spiritual Beast had already arrived behind the brother and sister, and fiercely knocked them down.    

    

Ah!" Hai Ou let out a blood-curdling scream. After rolling on the ground for a few rounds, his entire body suddenly bounced up, and crashed into a large tree amongst the Congli.    

    

Hai Ling also fell from Hai Ou's back, her tiny body landing closer to the Spiritual Beast. The Spiritual Beast roared, opened its mouth wide and bit towards Hai Ling, the sharp teeth on its mouth about to pierce through Hai Ling!    

    

"No!" 's eyes were bloodshot as he shouted in anguish. His sister was practically the entirety of his life, how could he watch his sister get bitten to death by this crazy Spiritual Beast?    

    

Just at this moment, on the ground between Hai Ling and the Spiritual Beast, a gigantic golden Magic Formation suddenly appeared.    

    

"Bam!"    

    

Following that, the Magic Formation exploded. The rumbling sound caused the Spiritual Beast's huge body to become sluggish, and it could not help but take a few steps back.    

    

Seeing this scene, the Hai siblings stared with their eyes wide open, not knowing how to react.    

    

"Pata."    

    

White cloth shoes stepped on the ground that was blasted open, from within the Magic Formation, a white clothed man with black hair slowly walked out. He looked around him once, frowned and said.    

    

"Is this place the Immortal Realm? How is this possible, could the Magic Formation have made a mistake? "
