The mermaid tribe had two choices: either return with Cai'er and the others, or follow him.
After all, in the not-too-distant future, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would recover, and many terrifying existences would emerge.
A small branch tribe like the mermaid tribe, with only a few hundred people, could hardly survive in such a world. They had to rely on a powerful force to have any hope of survival.
Ye Feng even thought that the mermaid tribe might follow Cai'er back, as it seemed like the right choice.
After all, Ye Feng was no longer the Sea God of the past, and it was understandable for them to leave him.
However, to his surprise, not a single member of the mermaid tribe wanted to return with Cai'er.
On the contrary, they all wanted to follow Ye Feng, which greatly surprised him.
However, the mermaid chief did not choose to have everyone follow Ye Feng. Instead, he had the old, the weak, the women, and the children return with Cai'er, and the young and strong follow Ye Feng.
In this way, both sides achieved a relatively satisfactory outcome, and it could be said to be a happy ending for all.
Next, they spent two to three days recuperating here. Ye Feng first waited for Cai'er to take away the young and weak members of the mermaid tribe.
"Ye Feng, we're leaving! If you have time in the future, be sure to visit our mermaid tribe!" Cai'er said.
Ye Feng nodded upon hearing this, "Okay, I will definitely come in the future!"
After Cai'er and the others left, Ye Feng began to attend to his own matters.
He first used the Ding Shui Pearl to collect both the mermaid tribe and the Jiao people into the small world within the Ding Shui Pearl, and then he left the Misty Sea Domain.
Furthermore, as he exited the Misty Sea Domain, he discovered that the deep-sea vampire eels here had become much stronger. This left him very confused as to how those vampire eels had improved so much in such a short period.
After thinking for a while, he quickly understood. These deep-sea vampire eels had devoured a lot of flesh and blood from powerful cultivators during the war with the four tribes, which naturally made them stronger.
It was just that the growth rate left Ye Feng extremely astonished.
Later, Ye Feng also collected many deep-sea vampire eels into the small world of the Ding Shui Pearl. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have them guard places like Rocky Island in the future?
However, not long after Ye Feng collected the deep-sea vampire eels into the Ding Shui Pearl, he felt a terrifying aura approaching from a distance.
At the same time, the Sea God's Trident on his brow flashed rapidly, as if warning him of some terrible danger.
Concurrently, Senior Meng Tianyun, who wielded a greatsword, suddenly appeared. He looked into the distance and said with a grave expression, "Such a powerful aura, and in large numbers!"
Seeing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but panic a little, because both the Sea God's Trident's warning and Senior Meng Tianyun's solemn expression indicated that the approaching party was definitely terrifying.
As expected, in the next second, on the horizon in the distance, a giant fish larger than a blue whale leaped out of the sea, and then directly transformed from a fish into a giant bird, looking down at them.
"This, this is a Kunpeng?"
Seeing this scene, Ye Feng couldn't help but be startled.
Only the legendary Kunpeng tribe could change their form between fish and bird.
However, before Ye Feng could even finish being surprised, a black Flood Dragon suddenly surged out of the water behind them, roaring to the sky.
Immediately after, two terrifying behemoths appeared on the left and right sides.
On the left was a giant shark covered in sharp teeth and stripes, and on the right was a terrifying whale, the largest in size, whose roar shook the heavens.
They quickly approached Ye Feng and the others, then transformed into human forms, directly surrounding Ye Feng and the others.
Seeing this, Meng Tianyun's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "This is bad! It's the Kunpeng tribe, the Flood Dragon tribe, the Demon Whale tribe, and the Tiger Shark tribe, all among the five great Sea Emperor tribes. Moreover, their leaders are all peak Grandmaster powerhouses!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng quickly put away Xiao Hei Long and asked, "Brother Meng, what should we do now?"
Faced with such a formation, Ye Feng suddenly felt at a loss.
However, not to mention him, even Meng Tianyun was somewhat dumbfounded. He never expected that all four major tribes of the Sea Clan would come.
He couldn't understand what could have caused these four great Sea Emperor tribes to gather.
Only Ye Feng knew what was going on. They were definitely here for the Sea God's treasure.
As expected, behind the four figures, a group of people arrived from a distance, including the third elder of the Giant Crocodile tribe who had escaped earlier, and the elder of the Devil Ray tribe.
This made Meng Tianyun's expression turn very grim.
If it were just him, he would naturally not be afraid. If he couldn't win, he could just run.
However, with Ye Feng in tow, escaping from the peak Grandmaster powerhouses of the four great Sea Emperor tribes would be very difficult.
Therefore, Meng Tianyun looked at Ye Feng and only said two words: "Run!"
With that, he grabbed Ye Feng and threw him hundreds of meters away, then drew his greatsword and launched an attack on the four of them.
The leader of the Kunpeng tribe saw this and quickly said, "The three of you deal with him, I'll go after that kid!"
Thus, the peak Grandmaster powerhouse of the Kunpeng tribe pursued Ye Feng, while Meng Tianyun, wielding his greatsword, engaged the other three peak Grandmasters.
Meng Tianyun's strength was immense, and he threw Ye Feng hundreds of meters away with one throw.
However, the Kunpeng was even faster, and instantly caught up, its giant claws about to grab Ye Feng.
"Seven Stars Step, dodge!"
Seeing this, Ye Feng hurriedly used the Seven Stars Step to evade the giant claws.
This made the Kunpeng powerhouse show a look of surprise and say, "He dodged? Interesting!"
The Kunpeng powerhouse did not seem angry at all. Instead, he pursued Ye Feng as if an eagle were toying with a chick.
Seeing this, Ye Feng glanced back at Meng Tianyun, then plunged directly into the water.
Ye Feng still trusted Meng Tianyun's strength. Although he might not be a match for those people, as long as he wanted to leave, it shouldn't be a problem.
Therefore, as long as Ye Feng escaped without becoming a burden to him, it would be fine.
The Kunpeng tribe powerhouse saw this and sneered, immediately transforming into a Kun fish and chasing after him.
However, after entering the water, he discovered that Ye Feng's speed in the water was much faster than on the surface, which surprised him again.
But no matter how fast Ye Feng was, he couldn't be faster than the Kunpeng tribe powerhouse, and he was about to be caught up.
However, in desperation, Ye Feng hurriedly activated the Ding Shui Pearl, intending to release Senior Cang Long.
But he then thought that even if Senior Cang Long was released, he would still not be a match for this fellow.
Finally, he thought of the Northern Sea Giant Kraken, whose strength should be enough to deal with this guy.
However, what made him even more speechless was that after receiving the golden object Ye Feng gave him that day, the Kraken had entered hibernation to refine it.
It was currently unable to participate in the battle, which made him feel utterly despairing.
"No, I can't go on like this, or I'll definitely be caught and become a burden to Brother Meng!" Ye Feng thought to himself.
Ye Feng constantly pondered in his mind about the techniques he knew, and soon he thought of a cultivation technique that he had almost forgotten...
