361: Chapter 361 Slaves?

The Deep Sea

A figure could be seen speeding through the sea.

"I only took a bit of our things, was that really necessary?"

Li Yunfan glanced at the Sea Demon Pythons pursuing him from behind and grumbled.

"A Sea Demon Python of the Bitter Sea Realm is coming. Be careful."

Elder Xuan's voice rang out in Li Yunfan's mind.

The reason they were here was because of Elder Xuan's Legacy.

A year after the incident at the Inverse Demon Cult's treasury, Elder Xuan had finally awakened from his slumber.

Upon waking, Elder Xuan realized that his Legacy in the treasury had not been obtained.

Elder Xuan didn't mind this much.

As his Divine Soul recovered, some of his memories became clearer.

Although that Legacy was somewhat special, it wasn't essential.

In the time that followed, Li Yunfan, under Elder Xuan's direction, went to collect the legacies he had left behind in the Qingxuan Realm.

One of those locations was in the deep sea.

Because of this, a small portion of Elder Xuan's collection was hidden within what was now the Sea Demon Python Clan's territory.

Although it was on the outskirts, there were still Sea Demon Pythons with low cultivation levels patrolling daily.

While Li Yunfan was searching for and obtaining the Legacy, he was accidentally spotted by members of the Sea Demon Python Clan.

Believing he had stolen a treasure of the Sea Demon Python Clan, they began to hunt him down.

Currently, the Sea Demon Pythons chasing Li Yunfan were all members of the Sea Race ranging from the Sea Opening Realm to the Spirit Treasury, and they maintained their original forms.

Even though he was in the ocean, in someone else's territory and home ground, it wasn't difficult for Li Yunfan to shake off these Sea Demon Pythons.

But now, a Sea Demon Python of the Bitter Sea Realm had been sent to capture him.

This was perhaps thinking a bit too highly of him.

Suddenly, several whirlpools formed.

These whirlpools instantly blocked Li Yunfan's path.

At the same time, a man with a somewhat sinister appearance appeared in front of Li Yunfan.

"Human, what audacity."

She Hai said coldly.

To think someone would dare steal from the Sea Demon Python Clan.

This human is truly tired of living.

Even though their main forces were currently engaged in a war with the Phantom Nether Clan, the Sea Demon Python Clan's territory was not a place any random person could infringe upon.

"I only took something I left behind. I'm leaving now."

Li Yunfan said quickly.

"Too late. Now, you are also my property."

She Hai laughed loudly.

Leaving was clearly impossible.

She Hai had already predetermined that Li Yunfan was his private property.

"What? Do you need this old man to step in?"

Elder Xuan asked.

"No need, I can handle it."

Li Yunfan replied.

The trump card that was Elder Xuan definitely had to be saved for the most critical moment.

Now was not a critical moment.

It was just a cultivator of the Bitter Sea Realm.

It wasn't like he hadn't killed one before.

Besides, Li Yunfan had no intention at all of facing this Bitter Sea Realm Sea Demon Python head-on.

Suddenly, two black beads appeared in Li Yunfan's hand.

The two black beads exploded directly.

Black aura emanated from the beads, dissipating into the seawater, and soon the black gas enveloped Li Yunfan.

"Hmph..."

She Hai snorted coldly.

With a wave of his hand, a whirlpool appeared and surged into the black gas.

In the blink of an eye, the black gas dissipated under the impact of the whirlpool.

However, Li Yunfan's figure was nowhere to be found within the black gas.

She Hai immediately rushed upward; he saw Li Yunfan moving quickly toward the surface of the sea.

She Hai didn't have the leisure to keep playing games with Li Yunfan; he wanted to capture his slave as quickly as possible.

*Hiss...*

A thick Fist Intent emerged from the wooden carving in Li Yunfan's hand.

The wooden carving was of an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.

A crack appeared on the wooden carving, and the Fist Intent immediately broke free, surging toward She Hai.

She Hai also sensed this intense Fist Intent. Initially, he didn't want to confront it head-on.

He sensed the extraordinary nature of this Fist Intent; there was even a possibility that he could be injured.

But the Fist Intent seemed to have locked onto him, pursuing him relentlessly.

He had no choice.

She Hai had to face it head-on.

The seawater surged.

The Fist Intent collided with She Hai.

It took a full half-hour for She Hai to barely wear down the Fist Intent. It was clear that the strength of the person who created this Fist Intent was far superior to his own.

However, Li Yunfan had long since left.

"Consider yourself lucky for running fast."

She Hai said with a gloomy expression.

His Divine Thought had already spread out.

But Li Yunfan was no longer within it, indicating he had escaped the range of his Divine Thought.

On the other side.

"Fifth-tier Fist Intent, Bitter Sea Realm."

Elder Xuan also saw it at a glance; this fifth-tier Fist Intent was the sealed power of a Bitter Sea Realm cultivator.

"This was given to me by a Senior I met by chance after I helped him with a few things."

Li Yunfan said.

"Good. More friends mean more paths."

Elder Xuan nodded.

"This Sea Demon Python Clan... there's something wrong with this place."

...

Dongchao City

The Merfolk Clan, the Phantom Nether Clan, and the Azure Sea Black Tortoise Clan.

After entering Dongchao City, these three clans all visited True Monarch Lu.

Only the Sea Demon Python Clan had not visited True Monarch Lu yet.

They had been staying at the Liu Family's residence, never leaving the house. No one knew what their purpose was.

But according to the bits of information circulating from the other three clans, their goal this time was to find something.

This "thing" could be a person, or it could be something else.

As for what it was...

...they didn't know.

As for the Sea Demon Python Clan staying at the Liu Family's residence, it wasn't anything unusual.

The relationship between the Sea Demon Python Clan and the Liu Family was no secret.

The Merfolk Clan was staying at the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce.

The Phantom Nether Clan was staying at the Wu Family's residence.

The Azure Sea Black Tortoise Clan, meanwhile, was personally arranged by the City Lord to stay in an inn.

Wanfu Chamber of Commerce

This time, Lin Ming went in his true form.

After all, he had saved Her Highness the Princess in his true form, so he naturally had to meet her in his true form.

"Dear guest, what are your needs?"

the woman asked softly.

"A scale of the Merfolk Clan. I want to see someone from the Merfolk Clan."

Lin Ming said.

As soon as these words were spoken, many eyes fell upon Lin Ming.

Carrying a scale of the Merfolk Clan and wanting to see the Merfolk staying here...

Someone who could produce a Merfolk scale was certainly not ordinary.

This led them to start speculating about Lin Ming's identity.

A few among them showed expressions of surprise, clearly having potentially recognized Lin Ming's identity.

"Guest, please wait a moment."

The woman was clearly a bit flustered and immediately left.

Before long, a bald man appeared in everyone's sight.

"I am Wang Jin. May I appraise this scale?"

Wang Jin said.

The woman followed behind Wang Jin.
