"What is that thing in your hand?" Shang Yang, who possessed fire attributes, was the first to sense the terrifying cold emanating from the cold jade prism, a cold that could freeze even the soul.
Tang Sui adjusted the cold jade prism and said to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, "Hmm, this is one of the three treasures I chose. Do you happen to know what this treasure is, Your Highness?"
Since she had already taken it, she might as well ask the Deep Sea Demon Whale King directly.
Unexpectedly, a subtle expression flashed across the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's face. It said faintly, "This is something I obtained from the belly of a sea soul beast I devoured. I don't know what it truly is."
But it seemed to enhance abilities related to ice attributes. Su Dan Novels.
This, of course, it would not tell Tang Sui.
"Is that so," Tang Sui instinctively felt that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was hiding something. However, their current relationship was merely a delicate balance, and they could fall out at any moment. If the other party had actually told the "truth," it would be even more reason to be wary of its intentions.
Tang Sui lowered her head, her gaze falling on the misty prism, and paused imperceptibly.
A mirror...
[It didn't even reflect the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's appearance?]
'It didn't reflect anyone?'
The voices of the system and the masks overlapped.
Shang Yang walked closer to Tang Sui, and the crimson barrier automatically enveloped her as he approached.
"Since everything is done, we'll be leaving now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crimson barrier began to rise.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King moved its fingers behind its back. In the end, it stood like a stake, gazing at the red light as it grew fainter and fainter in the dark water until it disappeared.
It turned around, and a deep blue light surged from its palm. The black water plants, obediently spread to the sides, seemed to have received some signal and gathered at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's feet.
The dark, hard black stones pulsed as if they had come to life, growing more black water plants.
So, these black stones, which could block spiritual power detection, were actually the eggs of a certain soul beast.
This water plant was not that water plant.
As the Deep Sea Demon Whale King manipulated them, more and more water plants were catalyzed and then rushed into the underwater tunnel, filling the entrance bit by bit.
Changes imperceptible to the naked eye were occurring in the tunnel.
The tunnel connected to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's feet was gradually blocked. In a corner of the deep trench, a cluster of black water plants stirred restlessly, quietly gnawing through the earth and opening a new sea passage.
This was also one of the reasons why the Deep Sea Demon Whale King felt so confident.
So what if its location was known?
It could change the entrance and exit passage at any time.
...
After Shang Yang brought Tang Sui out of the Demon Whale Domain, they drifted in the direction of the demonic power mark Tang Sui had left.
To other soul masters or soul beasts, the demonic power mark left by Tang Sui was merely a peculiar kind of power. However, to demons, it was a way of marking territory and displaying their strength.
Even from a great distance, they could sense Tang Sui's dark and ostentatious demonic power through the demonic power induction between demon ranks.
"How is the energy storage for your eighth spirit ring? Do you still need energy?" Shang Yang asked with concern, as if he would turn back immediately if Tang Sui needed more.
Tang Sui rubbed the cold jade prism in her hand. Hearing Shang Yang's question, she circulated her current demonic power and, uncharacteristically, showed a hint of grievance, "After bestowing spirit rings to the Enforcement Knights, I only have about 170,000 years of energy left."
There was a middleman profit, but those five black-armored knights had all advanced to Titled Douluo. Their individual talents were not bad, and almost every one of them bore spirit ring years ranging from 70,000 to 85,000.
To be honest, her own stored energy was only a little over 200,000 years. Even with the supplement of faith, she had still lost fifty to sixty thousand years.
Shang Yang was not surprised at all. "You are still too impatient. The decree could have been issued after you advanced to the Titled Douluo level of human soul masters. By then, you would have transformed from an immature stage to a complete form. Furthermore, the faith power accumulated in the City of Slaughter over time would only be greater."
Tang Sui's gaze dimmed, and she sighed, "I understand what you mean. But... the situation on the continent is subject to constant and earth-shattering changes. I fear I may not live to see that time. I can only accumulate more 'power' as quickly as possible to be prepared for unforeseen circumstances."
Hearing this, Shang Yang glanced at the young cub who harbored a secret, snorted, and changed the direction of their high-altitude flight, soaring towards the deeper parts of the sea.
Tang Sui blinked and familiarly opened the system map, pointing in a direction and kindly reminding him, "Uncle Snake, you should fly that way. That's the territory of the Great King Octopus."
Shang Yang: "Who said I was going to hunt that octopus? Didn't that Magic Soul Great White Shark say earlier that the soul beasts in the far seas and deep seas are stronger and more numerous? Do you even care about these few soul beasts in the near sea?"
Tang Sui: "...Well... it's not impossible."
The two returned the way they came.
Meanwhile, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, feeling that familiar, tooth-aching power flying over its territory again, thought: "......"
What tricks are these two up to again?
Are they planning to cross the river and demolish the bridge?
It swam its massive body, quietly lurking in the deep sea, yet its speed was no less than Shang Yang's as he flew overhead.
Then, it followed them all the way to the edge of its Demon Whale Domain, and Shang Yang continued to fly towards the far sea.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King fell into thought, and then flicked its tail.
Never mind. Since their target wasn't it, and they hadn't killed anything in its domain, let them do as they pleased.
And so, while Tang San and the others on Sea God Island were still anxiously awaiting Tang Sui, the news of Shang Yang and Tang Sui's rampage in the deep sea finally reached the communication network of the near-sea soul beasts.
Xiao Bai, who had the advantage of understanding sea soul beast languages, heard this: "......"
She turned and told Poseidon and Tang San the news truthfully.
Upon hearing that they were wreaking havoc in the deep sea, Poseidon remained silent for a long time before asking, "Is it indiscriminate slaughter?"
Xiao Bai thought of what the near-sea soul beasts had relayed to her and said with a subtle expression, "No. According to the swordfish, two strange individuals came from the deep sea and actually set up a dueling arena at the bottom of the sea for life-and-death battles. As long as one defeats the man and woman who set up the arena, in a 1v1 or 2v2 death match, they can choose either the Ten Thousand Year Dragon Blood Jade Coral or... the Thirty Thousand Year Cold Jade Treasure Jade."
Tang San, who had been worried that his sister would violate heavenly laws by indiscriminately killing and be blacklisted by the Sea God's Great High Priest, Poseidon, and was trembling with anxiety: "......"
So this wave was actually a sting operation, a "if you're willing, come and get it" situation, right?
I covet your life and cultivation, and you covet my life and treasures. The transaction between both parties is equal.
Poseidon, who never expected such a move from the two: "......"
She wore a complex expression.
Humans die for wealth, birds die for food.
Perhaps among the sea soul beasts killed by Tang Sui and that Shang Yang, there were some with kind dispositions. However, their participation in the arena match was fundamentally with the intention of killing Tang Sui and Shang Yang, to obtain an opportunity. They could even obtain corpses of equivalent power levels. After devouring them, their own cultivation would greatly increase.
This was a transaction of mutual consent, giving no one a reason to find fault.
She had nothing to say.
