An atmosphere of silence and awe enveloped the entire city gate square, warm and profound.
David remained calm, bent slightly, and reached out to support Lan Yuan’s arm firmly. A gentle chaotic force was sent silently to lift him steadily, preventing him from kneeling for too long.
“Get up. Since I’ve promised you, I’ll definitely bring Lan Xi back safely. This is just a small request, there’s no need for such a big gift, let alone risking your own Dao heart and life,” David said.
Just then, gentle yet majestic water ripples slowly approached from a distance.
Shui Wuhen slowly walked on the water, his plain white robe flowing gently in the clear sea water. Her long, silver-white hair drifted in the wind, shimmering and resplendent, like the light of a broken moon enveloped her.
As the leader of the water race, he had been responsible for the rise and fall of the entire water race of the Void Sea for thousands of years. He was used to storms and was as steady as a mountain, but right now, he couldn’t hide the emotion and satisfaction in his eyes.
Then, he turned to look at David, his deep, ocean-like eyes filled with admiration, sincerity, and complex emotions. He stared at him for a long time before slowly speaking, his voice dignified and profound: “Young friend David, you have succeeded.”
“Shen Tianhai has been entrenched on Bibo Island for tens of thousands of years. He is dominant, powerful, and cunning, and he controls all the forces in the surrounding sea area. Even I have to give way to him and dare not easily confront him.”
Shui Wuhen slowly narrated, in a tone full of emotion, “You were alone, without reinforcements, without resources, and without any support, yet you managed to invade Bibo Island, defeat the elders there, destroy Shen Tianhai directly, thwart his life-long plan, and successfully save Lan Tide.”
Such battle prowess, courage, and character were rarely seen in this world.
David nodded slightly, his tone calm and even, neither arrogant nor impatient: “After this defeat, Shen Tianhai’s cultivation suffered severe damage, his foundation was completely destroyed, his island was in ruins, and his morale was destroyed.”
In the short term, he couldn’t afford to launch another military campaign against the water race, and he also didn’t have time to plan strategies against the various forces in the Void Sea. Thus, the water race could enjoy long-term peace and stability.
Shui Wuhen looked at him intently, his gaze growing more serious, filled with unprecedented sincerity and politeness: “Young friend David, you have done my Shui clan a great favor.”
From now on, Deep Blue City will be your second home. You can live here permanently, come and go as you please, and take all the aquatic creatures’ resources as you please.
My aquatic tribe’s treasures, secret realms, cultivation techniques, and spiritual materials are all open to you. Whether you want spiritual crystals, supreme treasures, cultivation techniques, or training grounds, if my aquatic tribe has them, we will give them to you without reservation.
Despite receiving such great hospitality, David still shook his head gently, his tone firm: “Thank you for your kindness, Chief, but I cannot stay any longer. I must immediately return to the Underworld Abyss.”
Shui Wuhen frowned slightly, deep worry flashing in his eyes: “Underworld Abyss? That ancient and dangerous place is filled with yin energy, haunted by ghosts, and extremely dangerous.”
“You’ve already accomplished a great feat by suppressing the Yin energy in that rift. Why are you back again? Hasn’t that hidden danger been completely eradicated?”
“It was never eradicated.” David raised his eyes, his purple eyes clear and firm, hiding an unwavering determination. “What I suppressed earlier was only the tendrils of Yin energy extending from the demon soul, its external force, not the root cause.”
Within a spatial rift buried deep within the Underworld Abyss, the demon soul’s true form still resided.
“Endless corrosive yin energy, magical aura that pollutes the seawater, and mutated and ferocious sea creatures all originate from this demon soul.”
It’s like an ancient malignant tumor buried deep underground. As long as the original body was still present, the crack would not close completely, and the yin energy would continue to grow, spread, and reappear.
“If I let this continue today, within three months, the Yin energy will once again overflow, sweeping through the entire Underworld Abyss and then infecting the entire Void Ocean. At that time, not just the sea of water, but the entire Void Ocean will experience destruction.”
