It didn’t take long for Bai Sha to return to White Shark Territory. As soon as she arrived, she saw Yin Sha swimming around.
Yin Sha spotted her quickly, flicked her tail fin, and swam over. “Bai Sha, Bai Sha, where have you been?”
Bai Sha swam up to meet her. “I just went out for a stroll. How are you feeling, Sister Yin Sha?”
Yin Sha’s response was full of delight. “The Dream of the Heavenly Cycle Array Sect is truly a wonderful place. In just a single day, I’ve already learned so much array knowledge. I feel like if I can just stay a while longer, I can truly become a Grand Master of arrays.”
It was clear Yin Sha had a great interest in arrays.
“Who could have guessed you’d have such a talent for arrays, Sister Yin Sha?”
Bai Sha was also a bit emotional.
They went on to discuss other matters regarding the Heavenly Cycle Array Sect. Yin Sha said that beyond studying arrays, she would continue to explore the remaining secrets of the Heavenly Cycle Array Sect’s dream. Perhaps other opportunities were still out there.
In Yin Sha’s mind, the future was very bright.
But Bai Sha knew the future was filled with uncertainty.
“Glub, glub…”
Through the seawater, several figures darted rapidly.
The one swimming at the very front was a sea lion with a golden sheen covering its body. It was none other than the Golden Light Sea Lion who had previously seen Bai Sha and Yin Sha at the Hundred Demon Territory Market.
Around this Golden Light Sea Lion, Demon Beasts swam one by one.
There was the Blood Whip Octopus, its massive body a crimson red with thick, powerful tentacles.
The Phantom Snail, with a tough shell that made its form flicker in and out of sight, emanating a black light.
The Mercury Fish, small and entirely silver-white, whose gentle slap could turn rock to dust.
Of course, the most conspicuous was a whale, its body as massive as a small mountain and skin like rock. This was no ordinary whale; it was called a Mountain-Swallowing Whale. When it wasn’t opening its mouth, it just looked large, but once its mouth opened, a terrifying disaster would follow.
Without a doubt, this Mountain-Swallowing Whale was the leader of this group of Demon Cultivators. A casual swim from it would churn the seawater violently, so the rest of the Demon Cultivators didn’t dare get too close.
However, the Mountain-Swallowing Whale took the initiative to approach the Golden Light Sea Lion.
“Are we there yet?”
Even though it hadn’t opened its mouth, a muffled, booming voice came out.
In the past, opening its mouth caused huge disturbances, so for convenience, it had mastered the ability to speak without opening its mouth. Its voice just sounded particularly muffled.
The Golden Light Sea Lion replied respectfully, “It shouldn’t be far. I remember White Shark Territory is just ahead.”
The Mountain-Swallowing Whale understood, then asked, “When we find the Demon Cultivators who took your Technique Jade, what fate do you wish for them?”
A fierce look flashed in the Golden Light Sea Lion’s eyes. “I want them dead!”
Upon hearing this, a satisfied look appeared in the Mountain-Swallowing Whale’s eyes. “That is exactly as it should be. Only our Myriad Law Society can take spells from other Demon Cultivators. How could it be that other Demon Cultivators get to take spells from us?”
The Golden Light Sea Lion nodded repeatedly.
Just thinking about how Yin Sha had taken his Technique Jade, which stored a Foundation Establishment spell, made his flesh ache.
Luckily, he wasn’t a lone Demon. He had the backing of the Myriad Law Society. He would make Bai Sha and Yin Sha cough up everything they had swallowed.
White Shark Territory.
Bai Sha and Yin Sha were still chatting.
But as they spoke, Yin Sha suddenly stopped and whipped her head around to look in a specific direction.
“What’s wrong, Sister Yin Sha?” Bai Sha couldn’t help but ask.
“There seems to be some commotion over there. Let me check it out first.”
Yin Sha swept her pectoral fins and swam rapidly towards the source.
Seeing this, Bai Sha didn’t understand what was happening, but she followed anyway.
It wasn’t long before Bai Sha also noticed something was wrong.
The flow of the surrounding seawater became more rapid, and Demonic Power also emerged from the direction ahead.
What was going on?
Bai Sha sped up and swam over. Before long, she reached the edge of White Shark Territory and saw a scene of carnage.
A Mountain-Swallowing Whale as large as a hill stood in the water, its bloody maw wide open, turning the surrounding seawater into a massive whirlpool it sucked into its stomach.
Besides the whirlpool, one by one, the Great White Sharks guarding White Shark Territory were also swallowed amidst terrified screams, becoming an instant meal for the Mountain-Swallowing Whale.
Powerful and terrifying—that was the first impression the Mountain-Swallowing Whale gave all who witnessed it!
Bai Sha’s heart went cold at the sight.
Yin Sha was instantly enraged. Those Great White Sharks being devoured were members of her territory! In her fury, she charged straight at the Mountain-Swallowing Whale.
She cast the Water Shadow Art she had comprehended from the Technique Jade, immediately forming a duplicate of herself beside her.
This duplicate seemed to be made of seawater. Though its shape was identical, it possessed an innate stealthiness in the water. She and her duplicate closed in on the Mountain-Swallowing Whale from different angles.
“Learned the Water Shadow Art so quickly?”
The Mountain-Swallowing Whale was somewhat surprised, but it didn’t care. It opened its mouth and unleashed a powerful suction force, intending to swallow Yin Sha and her water shadow construct together.
The intense pulling force destabilized Yin Sha’s body, but after focusing her power, she managed to resist it.
Foundation Establishment (Late)?
Yin Sha calmed down a little.
The Mountain-Swallowing Whale also realized Yin Sha’s cultivation was higher than expected. It stopped its attack and questioned the Golden Light Sea Lion behind it. “Ah Jin, what is the meaning of this? Didn’t you say the target was only at Foundation Establishment (Early)?”
The Golden Light Sea Lion chuckled apologetically. “She probably broke through again? What does that matter to you, Steward? With your Foundation Establishment (Late) cultivation, handling her will be easy.”
Golden Light Sea Lion?
Bai Sha’s gaze fell upon him, and her expression darkened.
Yin Sha also saw the Golden Light Sea Lion, and rage filled her eyes. “You? You brought other Demon Cultivators to kill my subordinates? I gave you a way out back then. You don’t know gratitude, and you actually dare to come back for revenge?”
The Golden Light Sea Lion snorted. “Gratitude? You took my Technique Jade, and you still want my gratitude? Dream about that in your sleep, but don’t go dreaming in reality.”
“We took your Technique Jade?” Yin Sha said coldly. “That was clearly you paying the price for your misdeeds. Do you think that after trying to deceive us, it’s normal for us to let you go without any punishment?”
