“Words are useless. Just prepare to die.” The Golden Light Sea Lion then said to the Mountain-Swallowing Whale, “Please, Steward, resolve this.”
The Mountain-Swallowing Whale boomed, “The spells of our Myriad Law Society aren’t so easily taken. Everyone, attack!”
With that, the Mountain-Swallowing Whale opened its mouth again to unleash its suction force against Yin Sha.
At the same time, the other Demon Cultivators from the Myriad Law Society also stepped forward, clearly intending to attack as a group.
Seeing this, Yin Sha instead regained her composure.
Aside from the Mountain-Swallowing Whale, a Demon Cultivator at Foundation Establishment (Late), there were other Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators among the enemy group. Such a lineup was absolutely beyond what White Shark Territory could handle. If she charged in recklessly, it would be certain death.
Only by staying alive is there hope!
Yin Sha immediately retreated a little and said to Bai Sha, “Bai Sha, you leave right now. Go to the Seven-Colored Shell. I’ll stall them for a bit. Once you’re far enough away, I can disengage and catch up.”
“Sister Yin Sha…”
“Don’t hesitate, hurry! Don’t worry about me being unable to get away.”
“No, Sister Yin Sha. Leave this to me.”
“Leave it to you?”
Yin Sha thought she had misheard and looked at Bai Sha in shock.
She saw a Talisman Paper appear in front of Bai Sha. The paper was an icy blue and radiated a chilling coldness.
At that moment, the Mountain-Swallowing Whale opened its huge mouth and unleashed its devouring power, twisting a massive area of seawater into a vortex. Sand and rocks swept into it burst into pieces on the spot. Strands of water grass were ripped from the ground, and countless bubbles churned chaotically together.
The scene was terrifying. Bai Sha and Yin Sha, caught in the vortex, looked incredibly fragile, as if they could be torn apart in the next instant.
At this critical moment, Bai Sha channeled Demonic Power into the Talisman Paper before her.
After using one Demon Core level talisman at the Wailing Abyss, she still had one left. It was called the Ice God Spear Talisman.
Now, as Demonic Power poured in, the Ice God Spear Talisman blazed with intense light. Along with the light came a terrifying, absolute coldness, instantly causing the surrounding seawater to become still.
“This is…”
The Demon Cultivators of the Myriad Law Society were all stunned, staring at the scene in shock.
A massive ice spear materialized in the seawater, radiating an aura that made countless Demon Cultivators tremble. They felt utterly fragile before this spear, as fragile as a sheet of paper.
“Demon Core Talisman… Run! Run now!”
The Mountain-Swallowing Whale’s expression changed drastically, and it bellowed as its colossal body began to retreat.
The other Demon Cultivators, as if waking from a dream, also scrambled backward.
“It’s useless.” Bai Sha’s eyes were somewhat cold. “Before an attack at the Demon Core level, all attempts to flee are futile.”
Along with her words, the giant ice spear shot forth. Its speed was shocking, instantly piercing through the largest body—the Mountain-Swallowing Whale. Its rock-like body offered no protection whatsoever.
The Mountain-Swallowing Whale didn’t even have time to scream. The moment it was pierced, it was flash-frozen into a huge block of ice, like an ice sculpture.
Then, this massive ice sculpture shattered on the spot, breaking into countless smaller ice chunks that scattered down through the seawater.
The Mountain-Swallowing Whale was just the first.
After blasting the whale apart, the giant ice spear continued its lethal path, piercing through the Golden Light Sea Lion, the Blood Whip Octopus, the Phantom Snail, the Mercury Fish, and all the other Demon Cultivators before her eyes. No matter what kind of Demon Cultivator it was, the final result was the same: freezing into ice and shattering into fragments.
Countless crystalline pieces drifted through the water, a strangely beautiful sight.
The scene left Yin Sha stunned. She had never imagined the crisis could end like this.
‘A Demon Core level talisman? It seems Bai Sha has many secrets.’
Yin Sha looked at Bai Sha with a complex expression.
Bai Sha, however, was very calm. She said to Yin Sha, “Sister Yin Sha, do you know what the Myriad Law Society is?”
Hearing this, Yin Sha also recalled the origins of the Mountain-Swallowing Whale and company.
“The Myriad Law Society… I think I’ve heard of it, but I can’t remember clearly…” Yin Sha thought for a moment before shaking her head. “Let’s go to the Seven-Colored Shell later and search for it in the Chat Section of the Dream Ruins. There should be relevant information there.”
“I understand.” Bai Sha nodded.
After that, she and Yin Sha dealt with the aftermath at White Shark Territory. Once that was done, she told Yin Sha she was leaving and departed.
It didn’t take long to get from White Shark Territory to the Seven-Colored Shell.
Bai Sha arrived quickly, but when she did, her heart lurched in shock.
Surrounded by the mountain walls, the Seven-Colored Shell was huge and dazzlingly beautiful, like a massive piece of art. But inside this enormous shell, it was completely empty. Not a single Demon was around. The cold, desolate emptiness made Bai Sha’s skin crawl.
Last time she came, there weren’t many Demons at the Seven-Colored Shell, but there were some. Why was there nothing now?
Why were those Demons gone?
A thought flashed through Bai Sha’s mind.
Could it be… they learned something they shouldn’t have and were… cleaned up?
But what was the “something they shouldn’t have known”? …It seemed pretty obvious now.
Bai Sha immediately entered the Seven-Colored Shell, summoned the Dream Ruins, and went into the Chat Section.
“Your post has been deleted.”
A cold, emotionless notification appeared before Bai Sha’s eyes as soon as she entered.
Was everything that happened at the Seven-Colored Shell indeed connected to her post?
Being able to delete posts in the Chat Section… The hand behind this must undoubtedly be a high-ranking member of the Demon Alliance. But why would such an existence delete the related post? To prevent ordinary Demon Cultivators from learning about the Heavenly Devil Palace?
Even so, was there a reason to kill everyone who knew, just like the Devil Cultivators of the Heavenly Devil Palace?
Or… perhaps the knowledgeable ones weren’t actually dead?
Then again, there was another possibility: the high-ranking members of the Demon Alliance were in collusion with the Devil Cultivators of the Heavenly Devil Palace.
Thought after thought surfaced in Bai Sha’s mind, a chaotic jumble. She didn’t know which was the truth, but she understood one thing: the waters of the Eastern Sea were far deeper than she had previously imagined.
“It’s you, isn’t it?”
A voice suddenly came from behind her.
The unexpected arrival of this voice sent a chill of terror through Bai Sha’s entire body. Before that voice had rung out, she hadn’t sensed anyone behind her at all.
Bai Sha spun around instantly to look at the figure before her.
It was a woman in human form, beautiful and mature, wearing a purple dress that gave her an airy, ethereal feeling. Her beautiful features carried a lingering trace of melancholy, as if an insoluble knot rested in her heart.
It was her!
Bai Sha recognized the other party.
