They finally saw the true danger of the Sanguine Sea halfway through their journey.
A flying boat carrying a group of scattered cultivators had flown too low while refilling its spiritual energy, allowing a strange creature to smash it from below. All the cultivators fell into the sea.
The slower ones were instantly dragged under by creatures from below, barely making a ripple. They didn't even have a chance to fight back.
Out of sympathy, the Green Lotus Sect allowed a few survivors onboard, but only around ten of the original two hundred survived. There wasn't just one giant creature lurking below.
Some people tried to escape back to the shore, but they didn't get far before being pulled under by the creatures below.
Those who witnessed the scene were filled with fear.
Although they had all heard about the dangers of the Sanguine Sea, some still held onto a bit of luck, hoping they'd be spared from danger.
