Shui Wuhen is stronger than me. We are both peak second-rank Great Luo Golden Immortals, but he is half a rank stronger than me. However, he was restricted by his clan members and could not act freely. He is bound by what is called kinship.
As for me, I have no weaknesses. I will not stop until I achieve my goal. Therefore, from the start, I won this game.
Master Liu bowed deeply, his tone full of admiration: “Your subordinate has learned a lot. The island master has great foresight, and I am embarrassed to say that I am not worthy of your teachings.”
Shen Tianhai waved his hand in an indifferent tone: “Go. Tell the guards to be on high alert; tonight is very suitable for ‘entertaining guests’.”
Next, ask the three elders to stand by, ready to act at any time. If restrictions were activated, they had to act immediately and capture the intruder alive. Don’t finish them off rashly; they are valuable if left alive.
“Yes, I’ll take care of it right away.”
Master Liu bowed in response, turned around, and walked out of the study. The door closed slowly behind him, separating the candlelight inside the study from the darkness of the night outside.
Shen Tianhai sat alone in his study, looking at the darkening sky outside the window. The evening light of the setting sun slowly faded, replaced by cool moonlight.
He took his teacup and drank the slightly cold tea in one gulp. The tea entered his stomach, but was unable to quell the ambitions and evil plans in his heart.
His gaze passed through the study window, across the slowly darkening street, past the sparse pedestrians, and fixed on the faint outline of a stone pillar that looked towards the square, his eyes becoming increasingly sinister.
“Aquatic”
He muttered to himself, his voice gentle like a sharpened knife, but containing a terrifying intent, “No matter how many of you come, I will take them all. I want to see how many of your clan members you can exchange for them, and how much confidence you have in fighting me, Shen Tianhai.”
As the night progressed, the surface of the Void Sea shimmered with an ethereal silver light under the moonlight, like satin covered in silver flakes, or like countless silver fireflies flickering along the gently undulating waves.
Below the surface, in the dark water layer, the water pressure increased and the light became dimmer, only the occasional phosphorescent algae provided a faint shimmer of light.
Three figures moved slowly along the seabed rocks, their movements so light that they barely disturbed the surrounding water, like three shadows merging into the deep sea, silent but carrying an aura of determination.
Lan Yuan swam at the front of the line. He was the most outstanding young member of the water tribe, with his cultivation reaching the peak of the first rank of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. He had mastered the art of sneaking to perfection and was even more adept at underwater maneuvers.
His blue robe had already been stored in his storage ring, and he only wore a set of dark blue water scale armor that stuck to his skin.
This protective plate is made from deep sea blue scaly fish scales. These plates slightly reflected light in the dim water, and were as smooth and smooth as fish scales. This plate can protect against attacks, reduce water resistance, and hide one’s presence.
Behind him followed by Shallow Sea and Deep Current, both of them were elites of the water tribe, whose cultivation was at the peak of the first rank of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.
The three advanced in a wedge formation, keeping a distance of three zhang (about 10 meters) between them, so they could support each other.
This formation avoids excessive concentration so it is easily detected. This was a stealth formation passed down for thousands of years by the aquatic tribes, specifically used to infiltrate enemy territory.
The three grew up together and are very familiar with each other and have a good understanding of each other.
The seabed landscape beneath our feet gradually becomes more complex, with the initially flat sandy seabed giving way to rugged coral reefs.
The coral reef, like the skeleton of an ancient animal, stood still in the darkness, its surface covered with thick seaweed and barnacles. The tentacle-like seaweed swayed gently with the current, like faint strands of hair.
The gaps between the rocks were narrow and winding, and in some places only one person could pass sideways. If you are not careful, you will be injured by sharp rocks, or even trigger traps hidden among the rocks.
Lan Yuan stopped behind a large rock as high as two people, raised his hand to make a silence gesture, and motioned to the two people behind him to stop.
He pressed his body against the surface of the coral reef, closed his eyes, and released all his senses, stretching forward in the direction of the water flow, carefully sensing the changes in water flow, temperature gradients, and spiritual energy fluctuations.
As a water cultivator, his perception of water far surpassed that of other races; even the smallest change in the flow of water could not escape his senses.
