Jian Yun hastily shook his head. “Senior misunderstands. How could this junior possibly have such thoughts? Senior is a Demon Core Stage cultivator! Even if you gave this junior ten thousand times the courage, I wouldn’t dare.”
“Really? You haven’t considered having Jian Hu deal with me?” Bai Sha added.
Jian Yun’s expression changed again.
The other party even knew about Lord Jian Hu?
But if she knew about the Vast Sea Scripture, knowing Lord Jian Hu wouldn’t be too strange. However… why would someone who knew so much reveal this information to him?
A gnawing sense of unease grew in Jian Yun’s heart.
At that moment, Bai Sha looked as if she had lost interest, saying, “Forget it. My time is precious. Why waste words with you all? You might as well be on your way.”
Hearing Bai Sha’s words, the expressions of Jian Yun and the other Bloodthirsty Swordfish shifted drastically.
And before they could do anything, a loud roar erupted from Bai Sha.
Hearing the roar, they felt an immediate, piercing pain in their heads. Intense dizziness flooded them. In a daze, they felt a swelling sensation in their bodies.
Following that…
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
One by one, the Bloodthirsty Swordfish exploded on the spot. Not a single one survived.
Witnessing this scene, Yu Manman trembled uncontrollably.
She didn’t even know why Bai Sha had attacked. She could only assume Bai Sha was one of those moody, temperamental Demon Cultivators, and was now thoroughly terrified.
“Let’s go.”
Bai Sha patted Yu Manman’s head with her pectoral fin, then turned and swam off.
Seeing this, Yu Manman could only follow.
They didn’t head directly for the Seven-Colored Shell, as Bai Sha indicated they needed to make a detour to another location first.
Bai Sha had a very clear goal. After traveling for a short while with Yu Manman, they arrived at a concealed underwater Cave Abode, and entered it directly.
Spread out before Bai Sha was an underwater paddy field, and beside it, a cultivator whose True Form was a Life-Giving Grass stalk.
This cultivator was called Meng Cao. He appeared as a thin, vein-wrapped emerald-green stalk. He had originally been an active member of the Demon Alliance but had used his position for personal gain. Found out, he had fled and was now wanted by the Alliance.
The reason Bai Sha had come for him was naturally because the profits he had illicitly gained were right here: a large quantity of Spiritual Materials worth over ten thousand Contribution Points.
These Spiritual Materials were now hers.
At that moment, the cultivator looked at Bai Sha in shock. He clearly hadn’t expected anyone to find this place. He instinctively wanted to do something.
But it was too late.
“Roar!”
Bai Sha used Beast Roar, killing Meng Cao—who was merely at the Qi Condensation Stage—on the spot.
Having used Beast Roar many times now, Bai Sha felt that this Spell was truly practical. She didn’t need to do much of anything else; just one roar sufficed.
Moreover, although Beast Roar was a large-area attack Spell, it could, under her mental control, be directed to only affect designated targets, preventing accidental harm. It was extremely convenient.
With this thought, Bai Sha stepped forward and collected all the Spiritual Materials present in one go.
She didn’t leave Meng Cao’s corpse behind either. It had to be brought back to turn in the bounty commission. Though its value wasn’t much, any amount earned was still a gain.
After gathering everything that needed to be taken, Bai Sha finally led Yu Manman towards the Seven-Colored Shell.
No unexpected events occurred along the way.
Gradually, an enormous shell appeared before Bai Sha’s eyes. On the seabed, this shell looked utterly dreamlike and fantastical, sparkling with a riot of colors.
Numerous Demon Cultivators shuttled back and forth within the Seven-Colored Shell, creating a scene of great bustle.
Upon arriving here, at Bai Sha’s signal, Yu Manman immediately entered and recommended Bai Sha to join the Demon Alliance through the Dream Ruins. The process went perfectly smoothly.
After obtaining her status as a Demon Alliance member, Bai Sha said to Yu Manman, “Alright, you may go now.”
Hearing she was allowed to leave, the already timid Yu Manman fled on the spot.
The journey with Bai Sha had thoroughly frightened her. In her heart, Bai Sha was that type of terrifying Demon Cultivator prone to unpredictable moods and casual slaughter.
Seeing Yu Manman flee in a panic, Bai Sha couldn’t help but find it amusing.
She entered the Seven-Colored Shell, found a Rest Shell, and went inside.
Next was selling the things she had acquired to exchange for Contribution Points.
First, she turned in the bounty commission for Meng Cao and sold the Spiritual Materials she’d obtained from him, netting 12,000 Contribution Points.
Then she sold the Hell Mud, the Talisman Paper, and other miscellaneous items, gaining a total of 8,000 Contribution Points.
Next was the Fire Jade Stone, which she sold for 17,000.
As for the Sea Spirit Pearl of Superior Dao Foundation quality, it seemed even more valuable than the Fire Jade Stone, selling for 20,000 Contribution Points.
