Qi Condensation Middle Stage.
After her breakthrough, Bai Sha stopped cultivating. She was already somewhat fatigued, and continuing to cultivate in this state would only reduce her efficiency.
Although the Pill section of the trading interface had pills for mental refreshment, she didn’t think it was necessary to spend Contribution Points on this.
Furthermore, she only had 7,000 Contribution Points left. Even if she spent them all, it wouldn’t be enough to push her to Late Qi Condensation.
“Your cultivation time has expired. Do you wish to renew?”
The status panel for the Cultivation Shell jumped before her eyes.
Bai Sha had no intention of renewing, but she didn’t make a choice immediately. Instead, she turned and swam to the opening of the Cultivation Shell, cracking it open just a little.
Her large eyes quickly swept across the outside and soon locked onto a figure.
“A Bloodthirsty Swordfish… As expected, they’ve come.”
Bai Sha looked over there.
A long, slender Bloodthirsty Swordfish was lingering, seemingly using the Dream Ruins, but its gaze occasionally darted towards her position.
Bai Sha quietly sealed the Cultivation Shell again without letting it notice her.
When she was cultivating the Raging Waves Art here at the Seven-Colored Shell, Bai Sha had already considered whether she would be discovered by the Bloodthirsty Swordfish Clan. After all, this was the only Seven-Colored Shell in the entire Eastern Sea, a place that no Demon Cultivator who had joined the Demon Alliance in the Eastern Sea could avoid.
And in the Eastern Sea, how many Demon Cultivators wouldn’t join the Demon Alliance?
“The Bloodthirsty Swordfish’s appearance is within expectations. It’s time to resolve the problem they bring,” Bai Sha murmured softly.
Because of the Raging Waves Art, in her first life, the Bloodthirsty Swordfish had stormed the White Shark Territory. Yin Sha was killed on the spot, and she and the remaining Great White Sharks were no exception.
In her third life, Bai Sha saw Jian Yun and the other Bloodthirsty Swordfish for the second time. That time, they had come specifically for her, but were wiped out by the Wind-Thunder Observatory cultivators because they had misjudged their strength.
In this fourth life, she would still have to deal with the Bloodthirsty Swordfish eventually.
Bai Sha summoned her Dream Ruins Panel, entered the communication interface, and opened her friends list.
After scanning it, she sent a message to Yu Ye: “Are you there?”
Not long after the message was sent, Yu Ye replied: “I am. Is there something you need, Miss Bai Sha?”
“Are you at the Seven-Colored Shell every day?” Bai Sha asked, a little surprised.
She hadn’t expected him to reply instantly; she had been prepared to wait for a while.
Because fighting was prohibited at the Seven-Colored Shell, she wasn’t worried even if the Bloodthirsty Swordfish were watching her, as long as she didn’t leave.
Yu Ye sent a message: “Not exactly. I just happened to return to the Seven-Colored Shell right when I saw your message. Quite the coincidence.”
Bai Sha understood and sent a message: “I have a favor to ask of you.”
“What is it? I’ll do anything I can to help.”
Yu Ye had always been grateful for the information Bai Sha provided. Without it, his daughter would have been captured as material by the cultivators of the Wind-Thunder Observatory. The fate that awaited her then was unthinkable.
That kind of fate was something Yu Ye didn’t even dare to imagine.
Moreover, he hadn’t been able to retrieve the Ancient Forbidden Artifact he had promised Bai Sha before, which made him feel somewhat apologetic towards her. The 2,000 Contribution Points he gave were completely incomparable in value to an Ancient Forbidden Artifact.
Bai Sha unhurriedly sent her message: “The truth is, I’m being targeted by some enemies. I believe I will be attacked the moment I leave the Seven-Colored Shell. So, if possible, I hope you can help me deal with these enemies.”
Yu Ye quickly replied: “No problem, but could you tell me a bit about these enemies, Young Miss Bai Sha?”
Seeing Yu Ye agree so readily, Bai Sha wasn’t surprised. She had roughly understood what kind of character Yu Ye had; he was someone she could work with.
She sent a message: “The enemies consist of one Mid Foundation Establishment and over a dozen Qi Condensation stage members. Can you handle that?”
Bai Sha had long since made a judgment about Jian Yun’s cultivation level.
Ding Lei of the Wind-Thunder Observatory was at the Early Foundation Establishment stage, and Jian Yun had dealt with him effortlessly. Jian Yun was undoubtedly at the Mid Foundation Establishment stage. If not for the Ancient Forbidden Artifact, the Bloodthirsty Swordfish Clan should have won in her third life.
Besides that, in her first life, Yin Sha had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, yet was still easily killed by Jian Yun, further proving his cultivation was higher.
After receiving Bai Sha’s information, Yu Ye quickly gave his answer: “I can handle a single Mid Foundation Establishment opponent. I happened to break through to Late Foundation Establishment yesterday. But does this enemy specialize in any unusual methods?”
Seeing this message, Bai Sha’s eyes lit up.
Yu Ye had actually reached Late Foundation Establishment?
Initially, she had thought about asking Yu Ye to find a few more Foundation Establishment friends to help, even offering Contribution Points as payment, but it seemed that wouldn’t be necessary now.
“My enemies don’t have any special methods. They are from the Bloodthirsty Swordfish Clan…”
Bai Sha then explained the situation regarding Jian Yun and the other Bloodthirsty Swordfish.
In her third life, she had witnessed the battle between the Bloodthirsty Swordfish and the Wind-Thunder Observatory cultivators from inside the cage of the Wind-Thunder Observatory cultivators, so she had a decent understanding of the Bloodthirsty Swordfish’s abilities.
“I understand the situation now.” After receiving Bai Sha’s information, Yu Ye had grasped the enemy’s condition and said, “Miss Bai Sha, don’t worry. The next step is to lure them out. We can set up an ambush outside. As for the specific location…”
Yu Ye was undoubtedly very familiar with the environment around the Seven-Colored Shell and quickly decided on a suitable location.
Thus, Bai Sha discussed with Yu Ye the plan to ambush the Bloodthirsty Swordfish Clan.
They hadn’t been discussing for long when the Cultivation Shell’s panel popped up again, displaying a countdown timer.
Because Bai Sha hadn’t decided whether to renew for a long time, the Cultivation Shell was preparing to evict her; it wouldn’t let her stay indefinitely.
After glancing at the Cultivation Shell’s panel, Bai Sha sent one more message to Yu Ye to confirm the plan. Before the countdown ended, she proactively opened the Cultivation Shell and swam outside.
Almost the moment she was out, Bai Sha sensed a pair of eyes fall upon her.
It was the same Bloodthirsty Swordfish from before.
After a discreet glance in that direction, Bai Sha swished her tail fin and swam out unhurriedly through the seawater.
As she moved, that Bloodthirsty Swordfish quickly followed her.
After swimming a short distance, Bai Sha noticed another Bloodthirsty Swordfish join the pursuit from behind.
As she swam further, the number of Bloodthirsty Swordfish increased to five, and she even spotted their figures appearing from other directions.
‘They’ve all come, huh.’
Bai Sha was not surprised to see more and more Bloodthirsty Swordfish appearing.
